Chapter 124: War between Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
Chapter 124: War between Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
There was a deserted forest, a baby crying in a pit, and constant gusts of cold wind.
Song Tian's scalp tingled and he wanted to turn around and run, but he was worried that the baby would die and become a baby ghost, coming to take his life.
"You must not die. Even if you die, you can't look for me. I don't want to bury you alive..." He muttered to himself as he bent down tremblingly and picked up the baby from the pit.
The baby's body was cold, and the contact with his skin made Song Tian shudder and even more terrified: "She...she...she's not dead, is she?"
He was holding the baby girl, his body stiffened. He wanted to throw her away but was afraid that the baby was not dead yet and would come back to seek revenge if he threw her to death. If he didn't throw her away, because if she was already dead, then he would be holding a dead baby.
Just when he didn't know what to do, the baby girl opened her mouth and let out a faint cry.
"Not dead yet!"
Song Tian almost cried with joy. He quickly hugged the baby girl and ran away.
He stopped halfway, took off his clothes and wrapped the baby girl, then continued running.
On the other side, Song Ying ran down the mountain in a zigzag manner, and whenever she had a chance, she would shout, "Ma Chun'er, your parents-in-law are going to bury your daughter alive!"
Aunt Liu San was angry and scared at the same time. "What are you talking about, you stupid girl? I'll catch you and rip your mouth to pieces!"
Song Yingli ignored her and continued to shout as she ran: "Ma Chuner, your parents-in-law are going to bury your daughter alive!"
Before they reached the village, villagers who were harvesting wheat nearby heard the noise and rushed over to stop Aunt Liu.
"Song Ying, is this true? You can't say such things carelessly."
"Yeah, Daya, tell me the truth, is it true? Maybe you can't lie just because you don't get along with her family."
"Liu Daju, you really buried your granddaughter alive..."
The villagers talked about it at once, most of them didn't believe it, while some were skeptical and asked Aunt Liu about it.
Song Ying bent over and took a deep breath. Her lungs that were about to burst finally felt better. She said, "It's true. Song Tian and I saw with our own eyes that she put her granddaughter in the pit. When we went there, she was burying the soil!
If you don’t believe me, you can go and see. Her granddaughter should be held by Song Tian right now.”
In fact, Song Ying was a little unsure about the latter sentence. She didn't know whether Song Tian understood her hint.
When they heard her say this, the villagers all looked at Aunt Liu.
"Liu Daju, did you really bury your granddaughter alive? She's your own granddaughter, how could you be so cruel?"
Aunt Liu looked down the mountain and saw that her son and daughter-in-law were not there. She relaxed a little and said sternly, "Don't lecture me. I'm not the only one in the village who does this. Old lady Tian, when you gave birth to two daughters, did you push the third one into the urine bucket?
And you, Zhao Tiezhu, didn’t you throw your second daughter into the river with your own hands?
What qualifications do you have to blame me? I at least let her live for ten days, but you killed her right after she was born."
The faces of the two people she pointed out turned pale and blue. After a long while, Zhao Tiezhu said, "How can this be the same? We encountered a disaster at the beginning and could not afford to support so many people. We had no choice but to do this.
It's just the flesh that fell off one's body. If there was no other choice, who would be so cruel as to do such a heartless thing!"
Zhao Tiezhu's words were recognized by many people. "Yes, this is not a disaster year, and it's not to the point where we can't afford to eat. How can you be so cruel?"
In the crowd, Song Ying was both scared and sad. In the eyes of the villagers, when they could no longer survive, the right thing to do was to sell grown girls and kill newborn baby girls.
Therefore, if there is a famine or disaster, her fate will be in jeopardy.
Aunt Liu was so angry that she yelled, "Stop interfering in my family's affairs!"
Everyone was angry, but helpless; they really couldn't do anything about it.
At this moment, a gnashing voice came from below, "Liu Daju!"
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Ma Chuner who came.
Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were messy, she was running out of breath, and her face was full of anger and anxiety.
She rushed forward like an arrow and pounced on Aunt Liu San, grabbing her by the collar: "Where is my daughter? Where is my daughter? Where did you take her?"
The muscles on her face trembled and her eyes were so fierce that she seemed to want to eat someone. Aunt Liu was frightened by the look and was speechless for a moment.
"I ask you, where is my daughter?"
Ma Chun'er's eyes became more and more ferocious, and veins bulged on his hands that were grabbing Aunt Liu's collar. With this kind of anger and strength, if he had pinched Aunt Liu's neck, he would have broken it directly, or would have left deep marks.
Someone hurriedly said, "Don't worry, luckily Song Ying and the others found it in time, the child should be with Song Tian now."
Hearing this, Ma Chun'er's anxiety lessened a little. She started beating Aunt Liu instead: "You old witch, how can you be so cruel? She is so young. You have lost all conscience..."
Aunt Liu was furious. She grabbed Ma Chun'er's hair with one hand and blocked her fist with the other hand, while shouting to the sky: "The women in your Ma family are so powerful that they even dare to hit the mother-in-law! God, the daughter-in-law hit the mother-in-law, please let the thunder strike this unfilial woman to death..."
"Mom! Chun'er, stop fighting!" Wang Dalang also rushed over, and seeing his wife and mother wrestling with each other, he hurried forward to separate the two.
Seeing him, Aunt Liu started to cry again: "You married a good daughter-in-law, but you've only been married for less than a year and you've already hit your mother-in-law. Oh my God, I'm going to die!"
As he said this, he was about to jump off the step next to him.
Wang Dalang hugged her waist and shouted: "Mom, don't do this, don't do this!"
Aunt Liu tried hard to break free from him.
"Why are you stopping her? Let her jump. I want to see if she jumps or not!" Ma Chun'er sneered.
"Chun'er, stop talking." Wang Dalang was sweating profusely. "Chun'er, since you married me, your mother has been very good to you. Everyone in the village knows it. She was just confused today. I will talk to her later. Just forgive her and stop talking."
"That's because she thought I was carrying a son. She treated me the same way since I gave birth. Are you blind?
Has she ever washed her baby's diapers? I still have to wash diapers with cold water during my confinement.
Not to mention stewing chicken soup during the confinement period, I can’t even have a hot meal, and you still want me to go out to work right now? I haven’t even finished my confinement period yet!
I didn't agree with her, so she took the child away and buried him alive while I was sleeping. Is this something a human being can do? I think she is a beast, with such a vicious heart!"
Hearing Ma Chun'er calling her a beast, Aunt Liu was furious. She didn't want to die anymore and raised her hand to hit Ma Chun'er again: "Who do you think is vicious?
There are so many people who work in the fields before they finish their confinement, but you are so precious? You can't even give birth to a son. My Wang family spent so much money on you to marry me, but you do nothing and just play with your hands all day long!"
