Han Xier didn't want to go, but her widowed aunt threatened her that she would go on a hunger strike if she didn't go.
If she starves to death because of this, let's see how she explains it to Lin Da!
In desperation, Han Xier had no choice but to take the fishing net and go there.
The winter is very cold and the river is covered with a thick layer of ice.
Han Xi'er lost her balance and fell heavily on the hard ice. She suddenly started bleeding profusely, and the severe pain in her stomach caused her to faint on the spot.
She didn't wake up until it was getting dark.
She lay on the ice with severe stomach pain and biting chills that ran through her body.
This feeling is even worse than killing her.
For the sake of her child, she endured the severe pain and climbed up from the ice.
Just as she was walking toward the shore step by step, the ice beneath her feet suddenly cracked, and she fell into the cold river water.
She felt like her lungs were about to freeze, and her whole body was shivering uncontrollably.
Even if she knew how to swim, she probably wouldn't be able to swim in this kind of weather, let alone a landlubber who doesn't know how to swim!
Han Xier's consciousness gradually blurred, and at the moment she was about to sink, she felt a pair of strong hands holding her tightly.
Han Xi'er raised her eyes and seemed to see Lin Da's face. He was struggling to drag her to the shore.
Warmth surged up in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten. Tears fell one by one and soaked in the river water.
In fact, the person who rescued her was not Lin Da, but Mazi, who had been taking care of her silently since she came to Linjiacun, and was caring in every word and deed.
With his help, Han Xier finally climbed ashore with difficulty.
Mazi carried her to his house and asked the neighbor's sister to change her into clean clothes, and then invited the barefoot doctor over.
Unfortunately, the fetus was not saved, and the mother's body was exposed to the cold. It would be very difficult for her to become pregnant again in the future.
Han Xi'er lay on the kang and said nothing.
Mazi saw her heartbroken look and knew that she must be feeling uncomfortable, so he couldn't help but comfort her:
"Sister-in-law, don't be too sad. If your child is gone, you can have another one in the future. As long as you take good care of yourself..."
"Don't comfort me, I will never have any more children!"
Han Xi'er's voice sounded like she was crying.
When Mazi heard this, he fell silent immediately.
"Mazi, I'm really useless, I can't even protect a child."
Han Xier lowered his head and murmured to himself.
"Sister-in-law, it's not your fault, it's my widowed aunt, she's pretty awesome too!"
Mazi sighed and couldn't help complaining about her widowed aunt.
If it weren't for the widow's aunt's all kinds of difficulties, how could Han Xi'er fall into the glacier just to catch fish?
The more Mazi thought about it, the angrier he became, so he simply called Ma Guihua and Aunt Wu to his home.
Ma Guihua and Aunt Wu were shocked when they saw Han Xier's miserable state.
While comforting Han Xi'er, they asked Mazi what happened.
Mazi told the whole story of what happened. After hearing this, Aunt Wu immediately ran out to find the widowed aunt to fight against the injustice.
They all had a very good impression of Han Xi'er, especially Aunt Wu, who was very fond of her.
Han Xier is beautiful, fashionable, polite, and more importantly, she is literate!
You must know that in the Daxia Dynasty, there were very few men who could read, let alone women.
Such a perfect woman was tortured into this state by her widowed aunt, how could Aunt Wu be able to endure it?
She came to her aunt's house angrily and slapped her twice in the face without saying a word.
Aunt Wu has always had a bad temper, and now she was even more angry.
The widowed aunt was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Before she could realize what was going on, she was slapped twice, and they were slapped by the same woman.
Aunt Wu put one hand on her hips and pointed at the widow's nose with the other and cursed:
"You damn old woman, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? How can you bear to torture such a good daughter-in-law into a person who doesn't look like a human being or a ghost who doesn't look like a ghost?"
The widowed aunt now understood that Aunt Wu was complaining for Han Xier!
She sneered:
"Xiaolang Hoozi is complaining to you again?"
"I bother!"
Aunt Wu spat out unceremoniously, glared at the widowed aunt fiercely, and cursed:
"She fell into the river to catch fish for you, and her children were gone! How can you sue her!"
Aunt Wu's words were like a basin of cold water that temporarily doused Aunt Wu's anger, and Aunt Wu suddenly calmed down.
She staggered and almost lost her balance:
"how so?"
"How do I know? You know it's your own fault! If you weren't greedy and insisted on eating any fish in the winter, would she be able to go to the river to fish for you with her big belly?"
"I"
The widowed aunt opened her mouth, trying to explain something, but she couldn't argue.
Seeing that the widowed aunt felt guilty, Aunt Wu sighed helplessly:
"The doctor gave me oxytocin, and a chubby boy was born. What a pity!"
When she heard that the child that Han Xier failed to keep was a boy, the widowed aunt felt as if her backbone had been ripped out of her body. She collapsed on the ground and muttered to herself absentmindedly:
"How could. How could this happen? How could it be possible?"
Then, the widowed aunt jumped up and ran around in the yard, looking crazy.
"Han Xier, you bitch, why did you do this to me? Why did you kill my good grandson? Why! Why! Why. Why."
She was shouting and beating her chest like a crazy woman who was delirious!
"Your grandson was killed by you!"
Aunt Wu grabbed her collar and yelled at her:
"You let a pregnant woman who is more than eight months pregnant fish for you from the river in the ice and snow. How do you feel at ease? Now that your grandson is gone, who are you pretending to be mourning for?"
The widowed aunt was startled, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, her heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat:
"I didn't. It wasn't me who asked Han Xi'er to go into the river to catch fish. It was her. Yes, she was greedy and insisted on eating, so she went into the river to catch fish. It was she who killed my dear grandson!"
As she spoke, she burst into tears, screaming at the top of her lungs, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had accumulated over the years.
When Aunt Wu heard this, she was so angry that she trembled all over.
"Howl, howl, let's see how you end up when Lin Da comes back!"
After saying these words, Aunt Wu walked away!
Everyone thought that after Lin Da came back, there would be a big explosion in the widowed aunt's family.
But what no one expected was that everyone ignored Lin Da’s tolerance for his mother!
He did not blame his widowed aunt, not even a harsh word.
He acted like a normal person and went on with his life as usual.
But every time he drank, he would take out all his grievances on Han Xi'er, either verbally insulting him or punching and kicking her, leaving Han Xi'er bruised and miserable.
