But when she walked to her son, she seemed to see a familiar figure flashing, but her son's cry made her even more anxious. She couldn't help but froze when she looked at the crying son who was sleeping in the basket.
The well-wrapped swaddling clothes had been opened a long time ago. Her son's little body was shaking because of the cold, and she felt that her son's legs seemed to be different somewhere.
Several village women nearby also felt that the child was crying. Their curiosity drove them to come over to watch the fun. But when they saw the child's twisted and twisted legs at a glance, they couldn't help but be frightened.
"Brother Xu, the child only cried twice. How could you be so cruel and break the child's legs like this?"
Only then did Xu Laidi understand why the child's legs were different. It turned out that someone had broken them. He touched them with trembling hands. Sure enough, the child felt the pain intensified and started to cry again.
Xu Laidi stood up suddenly. Her eyes glanced around to see who the familiar figure was, but for a moment, she had no memory at all.
"You vicious woman, that is the only child left by my brother-in-law. How could you be so cruel? I want to report you."
Chen Tiezhu's daughter-in-law, Ju Hua, failed in her plan to acquire Chen Dazhu's house, and even lost his wife and soldiers. She had long regarded Xu Laidi as her first-class enemy and had been paying attention to her every move. Now she just caught the opportunity and rushed forward.
Chen Tiezhu's eyes flashed and he turned around to look for Chen Weidang. He didn't dare to look for Li Huan because Li Huan was too smart. As long as he stuck his buttocks out, he would know what shit he was pulling.
Chen Weidang was indeed upright. Hearing that Xu Laidi broke the child's legs because he cried a few times, he couldn't help but get angry. This was something that one person could not do.
The originally extremely tiring farm work was suddenly injected with fresh news. Everyone was full of curiosity and ran in the direction of Xu Laidi with their farm tools, taking advantage of the excitement to take a rest.
"Whoever wants to go out and ask Dr. Ye to come and take a look."
Chen Weidang felt sad when he looked at the little baby that could no longer cry. It was originally a malnourished premature baby. After raising it for more than a month, it was not as big as a newborn baby. It was really pitiful.
Looking at Xu Laidi, I felt even more disgusted with her. When I saw the baby's swaddling clothes were open, I quickly took off my own clothes and covered the baby's body.
Ye Jun came, and when he saw the baby's legs, he knew that they had been broken by someone. Although he could feel the severity of the injury with his hands, such a small child would definitely not be able to withstand such a big injury.
pain.
"Send me to the hospital, take a X-ray first, and then listen to what the doctor says."
"Wang Xianghua, go and ask Uncle Niu to drive the cattle cart over and take Xu Laidi and the child to the hospital."
"Old village chief, I don't trust this poisonous woman. She can break her own son's leg, so there's nothing she can't do."
"Juhua, you stinky bitch, don't talk nonsense. How could I break my son's legs?"
"It wasn't you who broke it, but who did it? You are a poisonous woman, and you have killed all the children in my belly. I will fight with you."
Juhua was furious as she spoke, and ran up to scratch Xu Laidi's face, but was stopped by Chen Tiezhu, "This woman is so stupid, wouldn't it be better if the child died?"
"Chen Tiezhu, what do you think we should do?"
Chen Weidang looked at Chen Tiezhu with inquiry in his eyes.
"Old village chief, ask her to come up with the money, and I'll go with the child."
"Yes, this is the only child left by my brother-in-law. Nothing can happen to him."
Juhua also stood up and stood firmly by her man's side. Chen Weidang was in a dilemma. He had realized that if this matter was not resolved, there would definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.
"Where's Huanzai? Who's going to find Huanzai?"
Li Huan went to the commune for a meeting early in the morning. The enrollment quota for the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University has finally come down. There is indeed a place in Xiangyang Village, but the recommended person must have a junior high school diploma or above and have outstanding performance.
So when Li Huan returned to the village happily, he saw that the villagers were not working hard, but were gathering together in piles, chattering without knowing what they were talking about.
"Huan Zai, you're back. Something happened. Xu Laidi, a vicious woman, broke her own son's legs."
Aunt Wang had sharp eyes. When she saw a bicycle approaching from a distance, she knew it was Li Huan who was back and hurriedly went to greet it.
Li Huan was shocked. There were countless strange things in the world, but he had never heard of a biological mother breaking her own son's legs, and he was still a little baby.
"Aunt Wang, you...are not mistaken."
"No, this little Maotou likes to cry too much. He will moan and groan whenever he has something to do. I think Xu Laidi was annoyed, so he was cruel."
"Aunt Wang, help me push the bike back, and I'll go take a look."
"Hey, I'll definitely push you hard and I won't break your bike."
Aunt Wang quickly took over the bicycle. As long as she sent the bicycle to Li's house, Cheng Qiao would definitely give her something delicious to eat.
Sure enough, when Cheng Qiao saw Aunt Wang coming back pushing her bicycle, she was surprised. Where did Li Huan go? Why didn't she come back?
Aunt Wang put the bicycle away, picked up a small stool and sat down. Seeing the little Cheng Li in Cheng Qiao's hand, she sighed to herself that they were both children crawling out of the belly of an educated youth. How could there be such a big difference.
One is thin and small, with a sallow complexion. There are not many hairs on his head. His eyes are like slits. When he is barely open, the swaddling clothes on his body are also patchworked with various scraps of fabric.
Look at Cheng Qiao's child again. He is white and tender, with dark round eyes and a lively look. He is also wearing a brand new thin coat and looks like a little doll in a New Year painting.
"Little Cheng Li, little darling, can you let grandma hug you?"
Little Cheng Li was already able to turn his head, and when he saw Aunt Wang's outstretched hand, he burst into laughter. Aunt Wang saw that the dimples at the corners of little Cheng Li's mouth were almost exactly the same as Cheng Qiao's, and she couldn't help but like it.
"Aunt Wang, help me hold little Cheng Li, and I'll cook lunch. You can have it at my house today."
"That's so embarrassing, Cheng Qiao, let me tell you, Xu Laidi is so poisonous that he won't even spare his own son. You must keep an eye on little Cheng Li in the future and don't appear in front of this poisonous woman, you know?"
Aunt Wang followed Cheng Qiao to the kitchen with little Cheng Li in her arms. When she saw her making two-faced meat buns with white flour and corn flour, her mouth started to water.
Cheng Qiao then opened the lid of the casserole that was simmering on the briquette stove. In the casserole was pheasant soup that had been simmering for two hours. Cheng Qiao washed and cut a handful of fresh mushrooms and put them in.
Aunt Wang smelled a strong smell of chicken soup and felt that it was worth it to deliver the bicycle today. In order to repay the meal, she told Cheng Qiao what happened this morning in a jealous way.
