The old lady is reborn

When Gong Yuanliang heard this, he looked at the woman's lame leg and said, "Your leg didn't get good treatment, did it?"

Dazhu’s wife said sadly: “When it comes to treating my legs, of course I don’t have the money.

In order to treat my son's illness, I had already shamelessly returned to my parents' home to borrow money for a large expense. I had originally planned to leave here, earn the money by working for others, and return it to my parents' home.

When they broke my legs, I felt like a cripple and just wanted to avoid causing any more trouble for my parents' family or children.

If I borrow more money, I won’t be able to pay it back, and either the person who lent me the money will have to bear the loss, or my children will have to bear the loss in the future.

Besides, I couldn't keep the money I borrowed, and I couldn't spend it on my leg treatment. I couldn't keep it even when I was healthy, let alone with a broken leg lying on the kang?

Of course, I can't count on that bastard of mine. Even if he had money, he would still go to buy things for Lu Yiyi.

I just let my leg grow randomly, using some local remedies from the village, and some villagers who couldn't stand it helped me get some herbs.

That Lu Yiyi, however, still felt it was not enough and wanted to poke me in the heart.

When I was lying on the kang, she came to show off to me a pair of red jade bead earrings, saying that Dazhu had worked hard to scrape together money to buy her the pair of earrings.

She said she didn't know how Dazhu raised the money, but she knew that Dazhu sold the only cotton-padded jacket I could wear outside.

Lu Yiyi smiled and said that she had advised Dazhu not to sell it, but Dazhu said that he was a cripple now and could only lie on the kang and not get out of bed, so the coat would be a waste.

But selling just my cotton-padded clothes was obviously not enough, so she smiled and said that Dazhu had sold the winter food in the family’s barn.

I was shaking with anger in my bed at that time. Were my two children and I going to starve to death this winter?

But my damn dog man doesn't care. If anyone in the village thinks he has gone too far, how can he sell food for the winter?

But he said that if you steal money from others, you must pay it back. Lu Yiyi originally wanted to buy a pair of earrings with the money, so he naturally had to compensate her.

I don't know if he lied over and over again until he began to believe it, but at first his words were vague, which made his neighbors suspicious, but later he could talk about it freely in the village without batting an eyelid.

I don't know why he was so confident, but why his words were so full of loopholes in front of the officials at the yamen.

He had changed his words in front of the police, but the police asked him and Lu Yiyi separately: When did he steal the money? When did she find out about the missing money?

As a result, Lu Yiyi's answer revealed that the time when the money was lost was earlier than the time when he answered that the money was stolen.

These were the stories they told me after they beat me to a pulp, while they were at home, making up a fake story without paying any attention to anyone around them.

Yao Siyuan was shocked when he heard this: "Could there be some misunderstanding? Maybe she...really lost the money."

Dazhu's wife sneered and stopped talking. After the kang was heated and hot water was available, she got up and left.

Yao Siyuan was a little embarrassed.

Gong Yuanliang asked: "How did you spend the winter afterwards?"

Dazhu's wife's expression softened: "Lu Xiaolan and her sister-in-law helped us, and the people in the village also gave us some help from time to time."

He sighed again, "Lu Xiaolan and her sister-in-law really don't seem like members of the Lu family. When other people in the Lu family knew that Lu Yiyi had taken advantage of this, no matter how the benefit came from, they were all smiling.

Just like when they were eating the meat buns bought by Dazhu, they still ate them with relish even though they knew that my children and I were starving.

Xiaolan and her sister-in-law were not like that. Not only did they help me, but they were always so ashamed that they couldn't even raise their heads when they saw me. They heard the discussions among their family members at home and knew what was going on. "

Gong Yuanliang asked again: "Did you ever think about leaving?"

"I thought about it. When I first broke my leg, I thought about leaving. I thought about revenge. I hated it so much!

The first two years were indeed a life worse than death. After I confirmed that I was disabled, I became hopeless. Dazhu and Lu Yiyi bullied me even more and came to harass me every now and then.

I was often so angry that I couldn't sleep all night, staring at the roof, wondering why they didn't give me and my child a chance to live. What had I done wrong in my life?

At that time, I didn’t want to live anymore and felt like a burden. But things have changed, and now I’m not afraid of him.”

Gong Yuanliang was curious: "What changes?"

As he was talking, the courtyard door creaked open and a man came in and walked straight to Dazhu's wife: "Mom, how are you today?"

Suddenly, he spotted two men, who stood still alertly. Dazhu's wife saw them and said hurriedly, "Son, these are two men who are on their way to stay overnight."

He added, "Today he robbed someone of their lodging money. There is nothing else to it, but he did all the work you asked him to do."

"How much?" After asking how much it was, he turned around and ran towards the main house. Several people followed him out and stood in the yard. Except for Dazhu's wife, the other two didn't quite understand.

The door was not closed, and the man was heard asking in the room, "Did you steal my mother's money again today?"

"How can you treat your own father like this? How can you say you robbed her money? This is not my house you live in."

"If your mother hadn't saved money to repair this broken house over the years, it would have been uninhabitable long ago. From the windows to the doors, the roof, the two walls that collapsed due to the heavy rain, the newly built kang, the courtyard wall, how can this still be the house you had more than 20 years ago?

The villagers have long said that when my mother got married into your house, it was just like the dilapidated City God Temple in the next village, with wind blowing in from all sides. How could it be considered a home?

Since we are staying here, we need to prepare bedding, heat the kang, provide hot water, and make hot soup. My mother has a lame leg, so what did you do?"

"You, you...I'm your father!"

"You want to starve me to death, make me sick to death, freeze me to death, or beat my father to death?

Bring it here!

I am not afraid of being stabbed in the back by the villagers, so don't force me to do it!"

After a while, the man came out and gave the money for the night to Dazhu's wife: "Mom, keep it."

He turned around and went back to the main house.

"I've given you all the money, what are you doing here again?"

"Don't ask my mother for the money again. Don't rob or steal. If the money is gone, I will ask you again! And you must finish the work I assign to you every day!"

"You, you, you, you are such a jerk. You gave birth to such a jerk!"

The man turned around and said to Dazhu's wife, "Mom, is my sister asleep?"

"She has been weaving baskets all day and was so tired that she went to bed early."

"My wife and I have found a new match for her. Can we let them meet the day after tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid no one will agree to her request."

"Let's meet first."

"to make."

"Mom, I'm leaving now."

Seeing this scene, Gong Yuanliang couldn't help but laugh and said, "You have really come to a happy ending after all the hardships. Your son has grown up and is backing you up!"

The man walked to the gate of the courtyard, and after hearing this, he turned around and looked at his mother and smiled, as if to say, "Yes, I'm here." The mother couldn't help but smile, and waved her hand a little embarrassedly: "Go back quickly, don't let your wife and children wait for too long."

The man left.

Yao Siyuan asked: "After your son gets married and has children, won't he live with you?"

"We couldn't fit in the house anymore, so we built a new house next door. My son was very ambitious, his wife was very hardworking, and his sister and I helped them with all our strength. We gritted our teeth and built a new house next door.

Money has always been tight, but life is getting better and better.”

Gong Yuanliang asked: "The change you just mentioned is that your son is protecting you?"

"Yes. And a daughter.

That bastard of mine was afraid that I would run away again after I recovered, so he tortured me every few days. My leg had healed on its own without any medical treatment. Under his and Lu Yiyi's torture, I lay on this kang for more than two years.

At that time, people were almost dead, like skeletons, with only their eyeballs moving occasionally, showing a trace of life.

I don’t understand what that bastard of mine is thinking. He doesn’t let me go, but it seems like if I could die like this, he would be satisfied.

I became like that at the beginning just because Lu Yiyi said, "Your wife is not dead yet." I am really lucky.

He was going to move me to the firewood lot next to the barn, and I'd probably die soon in that weather.

When my children come back from chopping wood or collecting grass for pigs, the first thing they do is to come to my room to see me.

When they realized I was missing, they were extremely worried. By the time they found me in the barn, I was almost frozen to death.

Fortunately, I was very skinny at that time, so the two kids moved me to the bamboo board and carried me back to the house.

They were mad and their eyes turned red. They went out with sickles for chopping wood and cutting grass and stopped Lu Yiyi on the road.

He said that if anything happened to their mother, Lu Yiyi would pay for my death. Lu Yiyi was scared to death.

After hearing Lu Yiyi's complaint, my bastard became furious and beat up the couple. My son and daughter were covered in bruises but he still refused to give in.

They said that unless Dazhu beat them both to death, Dazhu would be the only one left in the family, and no one would dare to marry him again.

If I wasn't afraid of having no descendants, I would beat them both to death. As long as they are alive, if anything happens to me, their mother, they can't beat Dazhu, but Lu Yiyi will definitely be buried with me.

Finally, in front of the two bloody children, the bastard promised that I would be fine and would not touch me.

From that day on, I, who had no will to live, just thought about living well. I had hope. Even if I was worthless, my children would protect me with their lives. "
