Chapter 7
Chapter 7: Curious
The people did not leave, they all held torches and looked at this mountain forest that had swallowed many lives and nurtured many lives.
The burdens of life and the sins they carry are all on their bodies. If there is no accident, these will continue to be left to their children and grandchildren until the sins are washed away and the sinners become good people, but how many people will have the capital to leave at that time. What about this place?
was exiled here, and unless they met an amnesty, they could not get out.
It’s easy to end this pain, and it’s too hard to take this step.
People can’t stop thinking that as long as they live, there is always hope. If one dies, there is really nothing left.
But at this moment, watching Wan die helplessly, many people feel that death is actually not that terrible. If people can be reincarnated after death, maybe they can start a new life faster.
Just as people’s hearts were floating, a light appeared on the edge of the dark forest and quickly approached them. The dot gradually turned into a group, and everyone realized that it was a torch.
Everyone: “…” So you always decide temporarily not to die?
Before everyone could finish their rants, everyone could see clearly that Mrs Wan was holding a bunch of things in her arms under the torches. Everyone was quiet, and the two more clever people took the torches and ran up to take the child in her arms. See you Li Baolu closed her eyes tightly and asked nervously, “Is the child okay?”
Baolu was tired all day, and fell asleep in her grandmother’s arms. Suddenly, she heard a sound explode in her ear. She couldn’t help but open her eyes and looked at the young man who was holding her with a puzzled face.
“It’s alright, just frightened.” Wan patted Baolu on the back lightly and coaxed her: “Don’t be afraid, dear boy, this is Uncle Fang and Uncle Liu.”
Everyone was amazed when they saw Li Baolu who was completely intact. This mountain forest was the most dangerous, and adults did not dare to enter the mountain easily. As a result, Li Baolu stayed inside for a day and came out unscathed.
Wan looked at Bao Lu with a look of relief and said, “This is her parents bless her.”
She pointedly looked at Li Hong with an ugly face, and said, “Baolu is a child protected by gods, not someone who can be killed casually.”
Everyone followed her to look at Li Hong, with disdain in their eyes, but after all, this was someone else’s family business, and everyone didn’t plan to intervene.
Since people have been found, everyone will naturally go back to their respective homes.
Although Li Hong and Wan’s face were torn apart, it was impossible to turn around and leave under the eyes of so many people, so he silently stepped forward to take the torch in her hand, and Wan hugged tightly. Baolu, for fear that Li Hong would be bad for her again.
The entire Li family was immersed in a haze. Mrs. Wan carried Baolu directly back to the room, while Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Mei who was at a loss with a gloomy face, and asked coldly, “What did you do today?”
Mai pursed the corners of his mouth, rubbed his hands and bowed his head and stood aside, clearly with a guilty conscience.
A chill flashed in Li Hong’s eyes and he hurried forward two steps before raising his hand and the door behind him opened with a “hoo”.
Mrs. Wan didn’t even look at Mrs. Mei, and only sneered at Li Hong: “If you want to teach your wife to go back to the house to teach, don’t hurt my eyes here, thinking that one of you sings a white face, and the other sings a red face, I won’t care. ?”
“I wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t related to your daughter-in-law. In the past two days, she was looking for work for me, and today she is preventing me from coming back in every possible way,” Wan said with a sneer, “I wouldn’t have found out so quickly. This issue.”
Wan looked at Mei with disgust, gritted his teeth and said, “You have been badly brought up by good people.” An attitude that Li Hong only turned bad when he married a daughter-in-law.
Mei’s eyes were red, pinching the corners of his clothes and did not speak.
Li Hong was suspicious when he heard his mother say, “Where’s the money in the house? I gave you the key before because I was in a drowsy state. I’m fine now, you can move the box and key back to my house.”
Li Hong looked at his mother in amazement. When the money was in his hand, he never thought of returning it, but before he could speak, Mrs. Wan had already turned around and went back to the house, closing the door with a bang.
Li Hong no longer has the heart to pursue the responsibility of the Mei family. He only frowned and thought, what trump card does his mother have to dare to ask him for financial power?
Li Baolu was also very curious, she asked with wide eyes, “Grandma, will the second uncle give you the money?”
“No,” Wan rubbed her head and said, “how could he be willing to give it back when the money is in his hands? Grandma didn’t really want it.”
Li Baolu was even more confused.
Wan hugged her in a low voice: “Child, your second aunt is not a good person. She is stingy, selfish, and lazy, but no matter how bad she is, she still has a sense of love. If it wasn’t for her this time, neither would my grandmother. You may know that your second uncle is so mad.”
Wan’s eyes were red, and she said sadly: “Your second aunt knows how to take care of your parents, and pity your niece, but your second uncle… You are a blood-related family.”
Li Baolu didn’t know what to say to comfort her grandmother.
The saddest time has passed, and Mrs. Wan is just feeling uncomfortable at this time, not so angry that she vomited blood, so she quickly put away her tears and continued to teach her in a low voice, “Your second uncle can bear even you. I want to kill you and watch me die. How can I expect him to be good to your second aunt? Your second aunt is taking risks for us, but I can’t sit back and watch her being bullied by your second uncle. Instead, I scolded her to save her. When she died, she must have known this, so she silently accepted the charge.”
“But it’s not good to spread this reputation out…” Even in the open era of the previous life, such a reputation spread is enough for the parties involved.
Wan’s family didn’t care: “How can our Li family have any reputation? Besides, the people living here are all sinners, and there is no reputation to care about. Your second aunt will live with your second uncle for the rest of your life. It’s affordable.”
Otherwise, with Li Hong’s current character, if he knew that Mei’s betrayed him, Mei’s life would be worse than death even if he didn’t die.
“Okay, we don’t need to worry about your second aunt. She is a smart person. I built a bridge for her, and she will walk over by herself. Grandmother is worried about you.” Wan Shi was full of melancholy, “I can take you What should I do.”
She can naturally pat her chest and say that she supports Baolu, but it will take at least ten years for Baolu to grow up and get married.
Today she was so angry that she swallowed several mouthfuls of blood, and she had to guard against what happened behind her.
She was not sure how long she could live, but her instinct told her that it was not a few years.
If she is also dead, then Baolu is the real sheep in the tiger’s mouth. When Li Hong is Baolu’s guardian, who can stop him what he wants to do?
She must keep the bloodline of the eldest son no matter what, not only for Baolu and the eldest son and daughter-in-law, but also for the bloodline of the Li family.
Li Hong has grown up like this, and I don’t know if Jun Jun will be crooked. Her husband has been sitting upright all his life, but in the end he didn’t even leave a drop of good blood?
Wan’s family didn’t want their family to end their inheritance. Although Baolu wasn’t the best candidate, judging from the current situation, Baolu at least had a right heart.
As a doctor, the most important thing is medical ethics, and everything else comes after.
Wan thinks clearly and needs to plan the future for Baolu. She thinks clearly, the first is that Baolu will grow up safely, the second is that she has a good character, and the third is that she should learn from her grandfather. of that one thing.
But in the current situation, let alone the second and third, it is difficult to guarantee the first.
Wan was lying on the bed with Baolu in her arms and her hair was gray.
The Li family returned to peace, as if nothing had happened on both sides, but there were still changes.
For example, Mrs Wan no longer goes to catch the sea, but guards Baolu every day, or takes her to the village to meet more people, or takes her to the beach to teach her to recognize various seafood.
Li He and Li Jun didn’t know what was going on. Seeing that their father was gloomy and their mother was worried, they also restrained a lot. They stopped going out to play every day, but helped the family do what they could.
And the youngest Niuniu is even more naive and ignorant. She is just over a year old and can’t even speak. She eats and sleeps every day, sleeps and eats, and her life is very simple.
Li Baolu sometimes looks at Niuniu as if she saw her previous self.
Li Baolu sighed that Niuniu was a little happy, and Li Hong put down his chopsticks and said, “It’s difficult at home, and I will pay the summer tax in half a month. I want to send Niuniu to be a child bride.”
The chopsticks in Mei’s hands fell to the ground, and she took Niuniu into her arms, staring at Li Hong with a red face: “You are crazy, Niuniu is your own daughter!”
Wan’s hand holding the chopsticks burst into blue veins, and his eyes were cold: “You don’t have to look at me and Baolu, it’s not Baolu’s fault that you really want to let Niuniu out, but you are a father who is cruel enough, we I know how much money the family has, even if the county magistrate increases the tax, it is enough, in the final analysis, you are both incompetent and selfish, and you want to use your own daughter to earn your life.”
After saying that, he dropped the chopsticks in his hand and sneered: “You don’t have to force me, Baolu has my own arrangements, and no one in the family wants to interfere in her affairs.”
Wan loves Bao Lu, but before that, her favorite was the naive Niuniu. After all, Baolu couldn’t even take care of herself, and Wan showed her more pity and responsibility.
And Niuniu is a chubby mass, and she is so naive, it’s really hard to make people not like her.
Li Hong mentioned the child bride at the dinner table, not so much for Niuniu’s in-law’s house, but for Baolu. This is to use Niuniu to force Wan to choose one of the two.
Li Baolu looked up curiously at the second uncle who had a livid face opposite, and wanted to open his head to see how long it was inside.
She knew that the second uncle didn’t like her, but who would like a fool?
But there’s no need to hate her enough to kill her, right?
I thought it was to evade taxes before, but this is understandable. After all, it is for profit, but judging from his current attitude, it is not only for profit, but more like a grudge against her. The second uncle does not want to see her at home. she!
But why?
She was only three years old, and she didn’t remember anything that offended him very much.
