Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 268: 268 Zhao Yanping



Zhao Yanping wiped her tears the moment she heard her sister speak like that.

"Sister-in-law."

"Hurry inside, I'll go call your brother back."

Zhao Qingxiang was weeding in the cotton fields. The fields were still very muddy, but there was just too much work, so they had to work like this.

After Yanli entered the house, she put down the child, and also set the basket aside.

Looking at the timid elder sister behind her, she felt exhausted.

"Do you still want to stay with Xiang Zhiqiang in the future?"

Zhao Yanping looked up in surprise at her sister.

"You seem like you still want to be with him. You're almost without a way to live, and he can't even protect you. Do you still want to be with such a man?"

"But what should I do if I'm not with him?"

"Can't you live on your own? Are you incapable of working or dependent on him?"

"Xiao Li, shut up." Zhao Qingxiang came in and quickly stopped his sister from speaking. Even if it was true, he couldn't let her put it that way.

"Big brother, what can't be said?"

Sun Yun came over and pulled the younger sister-in-law's hand. Looking at the little girl lying on the bed, Sun Yun's eyes also reddened.

"Xiao Li, go milk the goat and make some for the little girl to drink."

Yanli understood that this was her brother and sister-in-law's way of sending her away, but now she had calmed down significantly. After going out, she milked the goat, and then simmered it slowly. Only after it was ready did she bring it in,

She had already heard the elder sister's crying from outside just now.

She was indifferent to it, what was the use of crying?

After bringing it in, she placed it on the bed. "Sister-in-law, you feed her. I'll go call my second brother over. This matter absolutely cannot be dismissed like this."

Zhao Qingjie nodded. "Go, and bring your second sister too."

Yanli nodded. For issues like this, the siblings absolutely needed to be united.

Sun Yun watched the younger sister-in-law leave. Sitting on the bed, she stirred the goat milk with a spoon.

"Xiao Ping, don't blame Xiao Li. I'm also very upset seeing you like this. Don't you know you have your maiden family? You let the Xiang Family bully you like this?

You seem as if you don't consider us your family or your support?"

"Sister-in-law, that's not true, that's not true. Zhiqiang told me to endure and things would pass."

"Are you stupid? Do you think tolerating will work? Look at you now. I bet you haven't had enough to eat, have you? You haven't even stayed in bed for two days after childbirth, right? Why do you say nothing when your big brother and I go?"

"Sister-in-law." Zhao Yanping started to cry.

"Alright, stop crying. Xiao Li is right. Do you still think of staying with a man like Xiang Zhiqiang? Do you have a death wish?"

Zhao Qingjie said, staying silent on the side, but now his anger had reached the top of his head.

His sister was bullied by the Xiang Family like this? That damn Xiang Zhiqiang wasn't like this when he wanted to marry his sister?

"Xiao Ping, everyone advises reconciliation rather than separation. As your sister-in-law, I shouldn't encourage you to leave, but think about it, if Xiang Zhiqiang were truly good to you, he wouldn't stand by and watch you suffer.

You've seen how your elder brother and second brother treat us. How does Xiang Zhiqiang measure up?"

"Sister-in-law, I don't know, I don't know."

Sun Yun got angry seeing Zhao Yanping's tears.

"You weren't like this before, what use are tears? Besides crying, what else can you do?"

Sun Yun's voice raised, waking up little Xiao Ling on the bed, and causing the little girl in her arms to let out a weak cry.

"Xiao Ping, look at your niece, and then look at your daughter? Aren't you heartbroken?"

"Mom?"

"Xiao Ling, go to pee on your own. This is your little sister. Mom is giving her goat milk, and later you'll have half."

This big bowl, even five kids couldn't finish it, especially a frail child like Daya.

Zhao Yanping felt very uncomfortable with what her sister-in-law said. Indeed, her daughter's frail appearance made her very dejected.

Zhao Qingxiang went out and brought back a bowl, handing it to Sun Yun.

Watching her brother's actions, Zhao Yanping's tears fell again. She had always served Xiang Zhiqiang, and he never helped her.

Sun Yun poured out more than half, and then held the little girl, feeding her spoonful by spoonful.

The little girl who was groaning earlier immediately stopped crying once she tasted the milk. Looking like she was really in a hurry to drink, Sun Yun dared not feed too fast.

Seeing her child like this, Zhao Yanping cried even more. She had little to eat herself, so she barely had any milk. When she made some gruel for the child while cooking, her mother-in-law scolded her.

She felt that her life was a complete waste, and how did she let her life become like this?

"All you do is cry, what good does crying do?" Sun Yun got angry at Zhao Yanping's tears. Mud that couldn't be molded into a wall.

Sun Yun wiped her tears and came up to her sister-in-law's side, "Sister-in-law, let me do it, you attend to Xiao Ling later."

"Xiao Ling can do everything on her own." Sun Yun said as Xiao Ling entered. This almost two-year-old kid, nimbly climbed onto the bed, picked up the bowl, and started drinking milk.

Looking at the little girl's fair and tender skin, then looking at her own daughter, Zhao Yanping felt like crying again.

The little girl drank a lot of goat milk, so Sun Yun dared not give her more. She held her upright, gently patting her back, "Daya, we'll eat more later. Aunt has lots of milk here just for you."

After the little girl burped, Sun Yun put her down to lie.

"When you look at this child, don't you feel guilty?"

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I was really wrong."

"I can't believe you and Xiao Jing, and Xiao Li are real sisters. Look at those two, then look at yourself,

I don't even need to ask to know you were held back from the beginning.

But after having a child, can't you stand up for the child's sake?"

Sun Yun smelled a strange odor from Zhao Yanping, common among married women. "Qingxiang, go check if the second one is here yet?"

Zhao Qingxiang took the little girl from the bed and went out.

Zhao Yanping thought about how Xiang Zhiqiang had never held their daughter.

"Xiao Ping, are you still not clean below?"

Zhao Yanping nodded painfully. Having had a difficult childbirth, she was called to work in the fields the day after giving birth, by none other than Xiang Zhiqiang. She now wished she could beat Xiang Zhiqiang up.

Ever since childbirth, it had been like this, irregular bleeding, never really clean. Xiang Zhiqiang even complained she had a smell.

Now, Zhao Yanping's heart was full of hatred for Xiang Zhiqiang.

Sun Yun slapped Zhao Yanping on the back, "You foolish girl, how can you be so stupid? Didn't you know how I managed when I gave birth to Xiao Ling? You frustrate me to death, being so foolish, don't you know this could be life-threatening? Are you just letting the Xiang Family torment you like this?"
