Gu Qingyao was also a young girl. In this situation, it did not make sense to say that they were bullying others as young ladies of a landlord family.
Gu Qingyao pinched Gu Yunshuang's arm. Gu Yunshuang immediately responded by weakly closing her eyes. Her knees buckled and she collapsed!
Gu Qingyao let out a frightened shriek. “Ah ah ah, Auntie, are you alright? Help! Murder! Madam, I beg you, don't beat my younger aunt. My younger aunt will have a son. Please, let her go home!”
“She's had a miscarriage and needs to recuperate at home. She cannot work for a while and needs to have some better food to build up her strength. She will recover quickly and immediately give you a son. Please, please, don't beat my younger aunt. Wu wu wu Help Ah Ah!”
The more Gu Qingyao wept and wailed, the more frightened Li Fangting grew, until she simply held Gu Yunshuang's hand and howled.
Gu Yunshuang grew paler and paler. She leaned against Gu Qingyao, and seemed so weak that she was about to die.
In this situation, who could say that they were bullying others? Or that they were throwing tantrums like the young ladies of a landlord family?
But when Gu Qingyao said that, Old Madam Li was even more adamant that Gu Yunshuang must not cross the threshold.
“What? She can't even work? And needs to build up her strength? You…”
“That's right, that's right!” Gu Qingyao hurriedly interrupted. “Madam, it's now the middle of winter and there's nothing much to do. Why don't you let my aunt return and rest for a few months? She'll regain her health after she's eaten a few of the older hens. She will certainly give your family a grandson next year. My aunt is still so young. Even though she has lost this child, she will be fine once she recovers her health. She will certainly be able to have another one, right?
“Please, I'm begging you, bring my aunt home! She's bleeding. If she carries on like that, she will die. Save my aunt! Or send her to a doctor! Save her! Don't beat her anymore! Madam, you cannot beat my aunt when she's pregnant! That's murder!”
“Shut up!” Old Madam Li was hopping mad. “Get lost. Is it any of my business if she can't keep her pregnancy? Hurry up and go. Don't die on my doorstep and bring us bad luck! Go, go, go!”
She saw that Gu Yunshuang was bleeding nonstop, and the snowy ground beneath her was stained red.
She was completely white and looked as if she had stopped breathing. Old Madam Li was terrified!
Actually, she had long wanted to get rid of Gu Yunshuang. Now that it was the new year and the grain was distributed, Gu Yunshuang's share had already been given to the Li family. Now was the best time to get rid of these two useless mouths.
Now she had miscarried and couldn't work?
And still needed to eat an old hen?
Dream on!
Gu Qingyao looked at Li Dahai and wailed, “Younger Uncle, you cannot abandon my younger aunt! You were the one who beat her until she miscarried. You have to bring her home! She will die if this carries on.
“Bring her home and take good care of her for a few months. Get her some meat so she can regain her strength. She will recover soon. Once Younger Aunt is better, she can immediately give you a son, right? Please, don't delay any longer. If you delay further, she will die. Wu wu wu, Younger Aunt, nothing must happen to you…”
Gu Qingyao was crying hard, repeatedly emphasizing that they must bring her home, take care of her, and give her some meat to regain her strength.
There was no way they could say she was pampered and wanted to eat meat.
Li Dahai stared dumbly at Gu Yunshuang, who was lying in the snow. He did not say anything. Old Madam Li shouted, “Dahai, why are you still standing there? Get rid of them. I'll find a young girl for you to marry and give you a son. This woman hasn't given you a son after so many years. Look at your three older brothers, they all have sons. Do you want your family line to die?”
