After Yin Le listened to Mu Zihui's narration, she didn't say anything. She just looked at Mu Zihui with a sullen face for a while. She was very angry. Although the world is like this, she is not the first time such a thing has happened among the people.
She had heard about it, but when it happened so close to her life, she still couldn't accept it.
Mu Zihui was stared at by her. He was frightened and lowered his head in fear. This woman had reached such a low level. A look from a similar person could make her tremble with fear.
Yin Le looked away and said calmly: "Where are your nieces? You take them to live in the Liu family's villa for the time being, and don't come back here for the time being."
Mu Zihui's eyes were a little shocked, his eyelashes fluttered, like a frightened dog's tail grass, and he murmured: "This, isn't it good?"
"Do you want to be tortured to death by your mother?" Yin Le asked again: "Where is your sister-in-law?"
Mu Zihui said: "She is watching the children in the back room and making breakfast."
"Let her come out for a moment. I have something to ask her," Yin Le said.
Mu Zihui stood up quickly, and Dad Mu was one step faster than her and said: "I'll go and you guys talk." After saying that, he hunched over and went in.
After a while, I saw a ten-year-old girl walking out with several children. She was wearing floral coarse cloth clothes, with a belt around her waist, and a Guanyin Guanyin hanging around her neck, which was exposed outside her clothes.
Her face was dark, her facial features were not very delicate, and she could even be said to be a little ugly. She stood there timidly, and when she saw Chu Ye and Yin Le, she did not dare to come over. As for the children around her, the oldest was about seven years old.
Years old, the middle one is five or six years old, and the youngest one is about four years old. They are all very thin, their faces are dirty, there are traces of soot or charcoal ash, their hands are dark, and their fingernails are all full of mud, and they are completely black.
. Her hair was withered and yellow, which showed that she had been malnourished for a long time. They stood behind the concubine, looking out and not daring to come over.
Yin Le felt that something was swelling in her heart, and this emotion made her very uncomfortable. She knew that Mu Rentong's salary was ten taels of silver a month, which was considered a high-income person in the capital, and he could buy a house.
Yes, the standard of living can be improved. Even if it really cannot be improved, the children will not be so hungry.
Chu Ye never spoke. When the concubine came out with the child, he cursed in a low voice and said to Yin Le in a commanding tone: "Hurry up and get them settled!"
How could Yin Le care about his tone at this time? She stepped forward and asked the concubine, "What's your name?"
The concubine timidly said: "My name is Chunhua."
"Chunhua, tell me, what happened in the delivery room that day?" Although Yin Lexhen felt that Wang Yue'e would not strangle her child to death, she should ask more questions and speak more confidently in the future.
Chunhua burst into tears. After crying for a while, she looked up and saw that her mother-in-law was not in the room, so she began to say: "That night, I heard Sister Yue'e shouting, so I went out to take a look. Later, my mother-in-law
He told me that Sister Yue'e was about to give birth, and asked me to take the child back to the room and not allow the children to come out to make trouble. I was afraid of my mother-in-law, so I didn't dare to disobey her, so I took the three children back to the room to sleep. Later, around the time of Chou
At that time, I was woken up by Sister Yue'e's shout. She was wailing and it was very hard. So I went to have a look. My mother-in-law was looking after the dog in the yard. The dog also gave birth to puppies. My mother-in-law said that this dog was a good breed and would give birth to puppies.
The puppies could be sold for a lot of money. Then I was not allowed to see Sister Yue'e, but Sister Yue'e was really screaming in pain. I was afraid of waking up the children, so I secretly went to look for my sister-in-law, but she was already in the delivery room.
Later, she rushed out and called her mother-in-law to ask for Wen's mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law said not to waste money and said that it would be better to give birth to a stillborn fetus. It would be better if both the baby and the baby were dead. My sister-in-law and I didn't dare to go, so we had to go back secretly to make rice soup for the baby.
Sister Yue'e. But on the second day, Sister Yue'e still couldn't give birth. My sister-in-law and my mother-in-law started fighting again. I secretly ran out from the back door to ask for Mother Wen. When Mother Wen came, she refused to let in and even
After Wen Po scolded her and left, I grabbed Wen Po and asked her for medicine and gave it to Sister Yue'e. After about a quarter of an hour of drinking it, Sister Yue'e started rolling on the bed in pain. Not long after, the child came out.
When I saw it was a boy, I cut the umbilical cord and carried it out to my mother-in-law. Who knew that when my mother-in-law saw it, she said it was stillborn."
It can be seen from her narration that she is a completely uneducated rural girl, and her speech is not logical. However, despite this, Yin Le still understood it. Yin Le asked: "In other words, Yue'e's life from the time she was born to
The child was thrown away and she had no contact with the child at all?"
"No, I couldn't even catch a glimpse of her. She almost fainted after she was born. Later, my mother-in-law went in and gave her a beating, and she fell unconscious." Chunhua shed tears and runny nose. She is a rural girl, although
She is poor, but she is also pampered by her parents. She has never encountered such a thing, so this incident is also a shadow for her.
"Good girl, you saved Yue'e's life!" Yin Le could almost imagine the situation at that time. If she hadn't gone out to find Po Wen and didn't have that dose of medicine, Wang Yue'e would probably be dead.
Chunhua cried: "But Sister Yue'e has been driven away, and my husband hasn't come back yet. My mother-in-law has been so cruel recently that she won't scold me in the future. Since I helped Sister Yue'e, she has scolded me too. My sister-in-law has been scolded as well."
She was beaten many times, and you can see that my sister-in-law is covered with injuries."
Mu Zihui was used to being abused, and tears never fell for her. But as a woman, she felt sad for her sister-in-law. After hearing what Chunhua said, she quickly stepped forward to wipe away her tears for Chunhua, "Sister-in-law, don't cry.
Come on, stop crying, don’t scare the child.”
When Chunhua heard Mu Zihui mention the child, she immediately stopped crying. It could be seen that she loved the child very much. Although she was not the one who gave birth to the child, she was not very old and could play and be affectionate with the children.
That’s it.
Chu Ye asked, "Where is Wang Yuee now?"
When Mu Zihui heard Chu Ye's words, she shivered with fright. When the regent asked her what to say, she lowered her head and stammered: "Back...back...for the prince."
....talk....."
Chu Ye glanced at Yin Le impatiently, and Yin Le asked Mu Zihui softly, "Is your sister-in-law at her parents' house now?"
Mu Zihui's tense expression finally relaxed a little, and he replied: "Yes, I was driven away by my mother, and now I am at my mother's house."
Yin Le frowned and said: "Get rid of her? Isn't she still very weak? Can she withstand such a one-on-one fight?"
"I couldn't stand it anymore and there was nothing I could do. I hired a big cart to pull me back. My sister-in-law refused to leave, so she was thrown into the cart by two coolie men!" Mu Zihui said with red eyes. She didn't shed tears for herself.
But I can't help but feel sorry for my sister-in-law.
Yin Le was worried about Wang Yue'e's health and looked back at Chu Ye. Chu Ye said, "Let's go and take a look!"
Yin Le told Hongyan to stay here and settle the women and children. As for the old woman coming back, don't worry about dealing with her now. When Mu Rentong comes back, the account can be settled again.
