976, the woman whose child was taken away eighteen
In Linjia Village, since Dr. Zhou was taken away by the Yamen, the people in the village would glance at the village entrance from time to time even if they went back to work.
In their eyes, idle people dare not go to the yamen. And the yamen will only redress a person's grievances if there is conclusive evidence. After Luo Hongyue left, the yamen came to arrest people so quickly. This can only prove that Dr. Zhou's master and apprentice
These three are really liars.
This is the first time they have been so close to a scammer, so they are particularly concerned.
As soon as Chu Yunli's carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, people immediately surrounded it.
"What happened?"
“Has the liar been caught?”
"What's that medicine about? Does it cure a disease?"
The reason why I ask this is because Dr. Zhou withdrew the medicine just now. She had already gone through it, but she did not take back the medicine, but only refunded the money. If the medicine really cured the disease, it cannot be wasted.
Hearing someone asking about the medicine, Sister-in-law Li waved her hand: "Don't drink it. Those packets of Hong Yue were taken to the doctor. They said Hong Yue would die within five days of drinking them. Such a poisonous medicine,
Do you dare to drink?"
Everyone was startled.
Everyone thought that the medicine given by Dr. Zhou could not cure the disease at best, but they never imagined that it would be poisonous!
"No, why did she?" The village chief's wife looked puzzled: "We have no grievances and we didn't know each other before today, why did she poison her?"
Hearing this question, Sister-in-law Li glanced at Chu Yunli and asked her if she wanted to tell the truth.
Chu Yunli nodded.
Sister-in-law Li immediately became interested and said: "I don't know about you. Anyway, Hongyue's medicine is poisonous. The person who ordered Dr. Zhou has been found by the Yamen. He is a servant of Wanfu. That is, the Wanfu where Lin Xueyi was a concubine.
.”
Everyone was in an uproar.
Everyone in the village knew that Luo Hongyue broke off diplomatic relations with the Lin family, and it seemed that it was because of the child. They had vaguely heard before that the child was going to be taken to the Wan family, but they didn't expect that the fight would get to the point of life and death.
Everyone was surprised, but also surprised by the disrespect in Sister-in-law Li's words. After all, Lin Xueyi married well, and even if the people in the village didn't like her, they still maintained basic courtesy on their faces.
Sister-in-law Li probably saw what everyone was thinking and said: "Lin Xueyi did these things and made Master Wan hate her, so she was not allowed to go back on the spot. Today Hongyue went to file a complaint, but Lin Xueyi refused to admit it and acted like she was being betrayed by Wan.
Madam was framed. After coming out of the court, Madam Wan was so angry that she asked the people around her to hit her thirty times in the mouth, until her mouth was full of blood and two of her teeth were lost."
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar again. For the people in the village, what happened today was really bizarre. Many people even delayed their work at home and started talking at the entrance of the village.
"Is it so easy to enter the door of a wealthy family?"
"Yes, the richer the family, the messier the backyard. Think about it, there are so many women fighting for one man, it would be strange not to start a fight."
"Men are lustful. In our village, we can keep these for the rest of our lives. The men from the wealthy families have so many beautiful girls... If they don't spend a hundred days, they don't have any means. I'm afraid they will be thrown aside in a few days."
"
"It's lucky that the three girls can come out safely. I heard that many people become maids, but they don't see their bodies when they are alive, and they don't see their bodies after they die. Even if they are dead, we don't dare to seek justice."
"Isn't that right? The second girl from the Li family in the West Village next door also went to the city. The year before last, I heard that there was no one there. When I asked again last month, they directly said that there is no such person in the house. Where can I find it?
?”
…
Next, the things everyone talked about were a bit biased. They were probably talking about whose daughter was living as a maid and how she was doing.
Chu Yunli didn't stay long. After running around for a day, both children were sweating and had to take them back to take a bath.
After returning home, Sister-in-law Li immediately went to boil water and give the two children a bath. Chu Yunli also had to wash up, and after washing, she went to wash clothes, which was very busy.
After the two of them finished their work and put the child to sleep, Lin Xueyi had returned to the village.
Just like Chu Yunli said, after leaving Wanfu, Lin Xueyi had no choice but to return to the village.
The main reason was that Mr. Wan didn't let her take care of the expenses. Lin Xueyi had become a concubine, so she must have a lot of tenderness on her body. But when the Yamen took her to the Yamen today, she was only thinking about ways to escape. How could she think of herself again?
Can’t go back either?
Therefore, when Lin Xueyi returned to the village, except for the clothes and jewelry she had on her body, which were worth some money, she had nothing else.
Lin Xueyi was driven outside the Lin family's house in the village by a carriage. Mrs. He had already heard about her daughter's fate. She didn't want to believe it, but when she saw her daughter with a red and swollen face getting off the carriage, she felt no luck at all.
The Lin family... finally lost their relatives in Wanfu.
The matter has come to this, and there is no point in worrying. The days have to go on, so Mr. He sent people to the town to ask for a doctor, and quickly helped her daughter into the door.
Lin Xueyi had no luggage, but it was very hot today, and there was still blood on her body, so she had to wash up. She had to change clothes when she washed up. There were no clothes for her at home. She took Li's clothes and reluctantly changed out of them.
Li held her belly and looked at the injuries on Lin Xueyi's face in surprise. She was full of thoughts and had many questions to ask. After pondering for a long time, she tentatively said, "Third sister, it's the Wan family's carriage that will take you back."
Of?"
Lin Xueyi was in a irritable mood, annoyed and resentful but unable to do anything. Hearing this, she said impatiently: "No, I rented it myself."
Seeing her like this, it was hard for Li to ask anything else.
How should I put it, even if Lin Xueyi can't return to Wanfu, it doesn't mean that she will be under someone else's roof when she comes back.
It is said that a favored concubine can get a lot of silver rewards in a year. If you stay as a concubine for three years, you will have no worries for the rest of your life. Although Lin Xueyi looks a bit down and out, you should never tell a person's face. What if she has a lot of money?
?
If you offend someone, won't you get no light at all?
The doctor came quickly. After seeing the injuries on Lin Xueyi's face, he left a box of ointment.
Li stood at the door, thought of something, and suddenly said: "I'm here as soon as I come. I heard that the third sister is pregnant. She was so seriously injured. I don't know if she has fetal force. Could you please help the doctor to check with her?"
look."
Lin Xueyi said coldly: "No need!"
Ms. Li was particularly insistent: "Yes! This pregnant woman cannot be careless. If she gets hurt, it will not be good for you or the child."
He thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Doctor, could you please check on my daughter to see if she may be pregnant."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li's face changed slightly. The mother-in-law who came to announce the good news kept saying that Lin Xueyi was already one month pregnant. Later, the woman Luo Hongyue hinted that Lin Xueyi was not pregnant and just wanted to use the child in her belly to make up for the pregnancy.
Mrs. Li said it was impossible, but in fact she already had doubts in her heart. Now that she heard what her mother-in-law said, what else did she not understand?
If she was really pregnant, she would not have such a tone towards the doctor. This was clearly because she hoped that Lin Xueyi would be pregnant now, and then wanted to wait until Wanjia could not let go of the child before taking her back!
Mrs. Li looked at her mother-in-law and then at her sister-in-law. Her legs went weak, but she held on to the door frame to prevent her from falling. Her eyes were full of fear, and she thought of her ex-sister-in-law again... Luo Hongyue was almost injured because of her child.
You were taken to the Wan family before you broke up with the Lin family, right?
Mrs. Li was in a state of confusion. She didn't know how to face the Lin family.
The doctor carefully checked the pulse, shook his head and said: "I'm not pregnant! It may be that the pregnancy is too early to detect..."
Lin Xueyi held her forehead with one hand: "Mom, send the doctor out."
The tone of her voice, as if ordering a maid, made Mr. He take a second look. But seeing the injury on her daughter's face in front of outsiders, she didn't care about it, got up and sent the doctor away.
Mr. He came in from outside and muttered: "Why is the ointment so expensive? This box costs eight coins."
Speaking of money, Mr. He's heart moved. He looked around and saw that the room was full of people. So he began to urge the men in the family to go to work.
The men of the Lin family were not close to Lin Xueyi who had returned. They hadn't seen each other for several years and didn't know what to say. The atmosphere was very awkward. After hearing He's words, he immediately got up and went out.
Mrs. Lin knew what her daughter-in-law meant. When she saw Mrs. Li standing at the door, she ordered: "Go back and rest, so as not to be frightened."
Ms. Li obediently agreed, and after exiting the door, she thoughtfully closed the door behind her.
She slowly walked back to her house, pushed the door open without going in, then pulled the door back and closed it. She tiptoed back to the main room and squatted down in front of the window.
He heard Mr. He exclaiming: "You have no money!"
The voice was full of disbelief.
Lin Xueyi's tired voice came: "It happened so urgently that I didn't hear any news beforehand. How did I know that after going to the Yamen, I would never be able to return to Wanfu? I also didn't expect that woman Luo Hongyue was so brave.
All these things have been torn out. The master has abandoned me and will probably never take me back again."
Old Mrs. Lin was also dumbfounded: "In other words, you don't have any money on you? You can't go back?"
If I had known that these things would happen, Lin Xueyi would have put all her jewelry on her head, and put all her money and banknotes on her body... I would have known that it is hard to buy a lot of money.
Mr. Wan likes to dress plainly, so Lin Xueyi only has two silver hairpins today, and she has already used one when she came back from hiring a carriage.
It wasn't that the fare from the city to the village was so expensive, but that she was at the government office at the time and couldn't hire anyone without paying a lot of money.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Lin Xueyi's face was still in pain and she felt that the injured area was hot. She subconsciously ordered: "Get some hot water and let it cool down. I want to apply it on my face. If you have any eggs, boil two and I will use them to roll my face."
"
Old Mrs. Lin didn't move.
Mrs. He looked around the room and found that she was the only one left besides her mother-in-law. She said displeasedly: "Your tone is wrong. I am not your girl."
