Chapter 45: Sun Shi Miscarries
That faint milky fragrance couldn't be hidden from Li Xiufang at all. She reached out and snatched the snow cake in Sun Shi's hand, "Don't hide it, give it to me!!"
"Why! This is something I bought, if you want to eat it, buy it yourself!" Sun Shi also gave birth to a bit of anger.
Li Shoude had left, leaving her alone at home to suffer these past few days, and she had to tolerate her sister-in-law everywhere. She had been holding a belly of fire in her heart for a long time.
Sun Shi's anger rose, and she simply pushed away Li Xiufang who was blocking the way and walked out quickly.
Li Xiufang was pushed and staggered, fell on the stove, and the new clothes she had just changed into today were instantly stained with pot ash. She screamed in anger, pounced on Sun Shi, and twisted with her.
"Ah ah, how dare you push me! You pay for my new clothes!!"
"You dead girl, you really think I'm easy to bully!!"
When Old Madam Li heard the movement and rushed over, Li Xiufang and Sun Shi were already pulling each other's hair in the courtyard, and both of them had blood marks scratched on their faces.
"You stop for me!!"
Old Madam Li roared, rushed up, and kicked Sun Shi's lower abdomen hard, "Stinking woman, who gave you the courage to hit my daughter!!"
"Ah!" Sun Shi was kicked to the ground, covering her lower abdomen, her face pale with pain.
Seeing this, Li Xiufang immediately took the opportunity to snatch the snow cake that was half-eaten from Sun Shi's hand, hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth, and complained to Old Madam Li: "Mom, sister-in-law secretly bought snow cakes and hid in the kitchen to eat alone, and was discovered by me!"
"Good, how dare you buy snow cakes behind my back!"
Old Madam Li was furious after hearing this, and kicked Sun Shi again, while kicking and scolding: "Speak, where did you get the money! Did you hide private money behind my back!"
As long as they hadn't separated, the financial power of the Li family had always been in the hands of Old Madam Li. How could she tolerate her daughter-in-law secretly hiding private money behind her back.
Li Xiufang was eating the snow cake, not forgetting to add fuel to the fire on the side: "Mom, she must have hidden a lot of private money! This snow cake is five wen each, she bought it without any heartache!"
"You stinking woman, the family can't bear to eat, can't bear to wear, smashing pots and selling iron to collect money for the eldest to go to the state to take the exam, you actually dare to secretly hide private money behind our backs! Hand it over!!"
Old Madam Li punched and kicked Sun Shi, while rudely pulling her clothes pocket to see if there was any hidden money.
Sun Shi was in so much pain that tears were about to flow out, especially her lower abdomen, which was so painful that she couldn't even resist, and was directly turned out of the copper coins hidden in her clothes pocket by Old Madam Li.
"Good you stinking woman, how dare you really hide money behind my back!" Old Madam Li pinched the copper coins in her hand and snatched them, not forgetting to give Sun Shi a slap.
Li Jinfeng had just returned home from picking wild vegetables and saw this scene, so she was panicked and threw down the basket and ran over: "Mom! What's wrong with you, Mom!"
Sun Shi was curled up on the ground in pain, her face pale, moaning constantly: "Feng'er, I'm in pain, it's so painful below..."
"Below?" Li Jinfeng hurriedly reached out to touch, but touched a handful of wetness, "Blood, blood... bleeding!"
Hearing this, Old Madam Li, who was counting copper coins, looked down. Sun Shi's skirt was already stained red with blood, and she was stunned. She just kicked her, why was she bleeding?
Probably feeling guilty, this time the old woman didn't dare to be stingy and ordered Li Jinfeng to find a doctor to see.
Probing the pulse, it was indeed a miscarriage.
"Sigh, the child is already two months old. At this time, the fetus is unstable and it is easiest to miscarry. Why aren't you careful usually?" Doctor Zhou shook his head constantly, "Fortunately, your body is still strong. I will prescribe two doses of medicine for you to take first, and then talk about it after raising your body."
Old Madam Li exploded upon hearing that she had to prescribe medicine: "Isn't it just a miscarriage? Who hasn't miscarried! Eat what medicine, isn't that medicine expensive!"
After saying this, she pulled Li Xiufang, who was watching the show, and turned out of the room, fearing that staying here would make her pay.
Doctor Zhou shook his head and sighed. Although he had long known the virtue of Old Madam Li, he was still speechless when he really saw it.
The daughter-in-law had a miscarriage, and she didn't take it seriously. If she hurt her body, it would be very difficult to have children in the future.
Sun Shi was in so much pain that she was almost dying, barely maintaining consciousness. She glared hatefully at the ruthless Old Madam Li who left, hurriedly grabbed Li Jinfeng's hand, and said weakly: "Feng'er, quick, quick, go and take out the small cloth bag I hid under the pillow."
Li Jinfeng didn't dare to delay, hurriedly went to the inner room to find the small cloth bag, took out the remaining money inside, and paid Doctor Zhou.
Doctor Zhou prescribed the medicine and left. Li Jinfeng took the small cloth bag and the remaining money to get the medicine, returned, and decocted the medicine for Sun Shi to eat.
Sun Shi, who had finished the medicine, felt a little better, but thinking of this unborn child who was gone, she couldn't help but lie on the bed and cry sadly.
She had been feeling nauseous and vomiting for the past period of time. She thought she was exhausted from working at home, and was completely unaware of the possibility of being pregnant.
But this child, before she realized his existence, was already gone...
Sun Shi thought more and more sadly, and felt an unprecedented monstrous hatred for Old Madam Li!
Dead old woman, you harmed my child, I want you to pay with blood!
Sun Shi clenched the quilt tightly, her fingers turning white with force, and the look toward Li Xiufang in the courtyard was like being quenched with poison, full of malice.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jiang Wei finished their meal at home, and didn't start making ice cream and snow cakes as usual, but walked up the mountain along the small road at home.
They had been busy making ice cream at home these past few days, and hadn't been up the mountain for a long time. Jiang Xiaoxiao arrived at the mountain, took a deep breath of the fresh air in the mountains, and felt full of joy.
This natural environment in the ancient era that hadn't been developed is good, unlike the modern era where there are thick smoke and sewage discharged from factories everywhere, and the mountains are bare, without even a tree.
Jiang Xiaoxiao scanned a few times, secretly thinking that there might be rich groundwater hidden under this mountain.
But ever since the hunters in the village almost died in it while hunting on the mountain a few years ago, gradually no one dared to enter the deep mountains, and at most they just picked some wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain or on the outskirts of the mountain, and took them home to make wild vegetable paste to eat.
Her mother hunted a wild wolf on the mountain last time. Although many people in the village were envious, no one dared to try going up the mountain personally.
After all, jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards lived in this deep mountain and old forest, and no one dared to joke with their own lives.
Jiang Xiaoxiao thought while following behind, but was tripped by a tree branch under her feet and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ah..."
Jiang Xiaoxiao took a breath of pain. The soil here was still somewhat hard, and there were many small gravels in the grass, and the skin on her palms was worn out.
"Why are you so careless?" Jiang Wei turned her head, hurriedly put down the leather bag, and came over to support her, "Did you hurt anywhere?"
"Mom, I'm fine, just scratched a little skin on my palm."
Jiang Xiaoxiao had just finished speaking when she saw her mother take out an ointment out of thin air, "Quick, release some water to wash your hands clean. The humidity in this deep forest is high, and there are many ants and poisonous insects, so the wound is easy to get infected."
Jiang Wei was a special forces soldier in her previous life and had stayed in some tropical rainforests that no one had set foot in for a period of time, and had very rich experience in these things.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't dare to delay, hurriedly used her ability to release some water to wash the wound on her hand clean.
Jiang Wei squeezed out the ointment and carefully applied it to her.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed. It was not easy to come to the mountain once, but she always caused some trouble, making her mother worry...
Blame that tree branch!
