Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 68 The child is gone
Han Xi'er didn't want to go, but the widow threatened her that if she didn't go, she would go on a hunger strike.

If she starves to death because of this, let's see how she will explain to Lin Da!
In desperation, Han Xi'er had no choice but to take the fishing net and bite the bullet and go.

It is very cold in winter, and the river is covered with a thick layer of ice.

Han Xi'er lost her footing and fell heavily on the hard ice, bleeding profusely, and the severe pain in her stomach made her pass out on the spot.

She didn't wake up until it was getting dark.

She was lying on the ice, her stomach ached badly, and a biting chill hit her whole body.

This feeling is worse than killing her.

For the sake of the child, she endured the severe pain and got up from the ice.

Just as she was walking towards the bank step by step, the ice layer under her feet suddenly cracked, and she fell into the icy river water.

She felt that her lungs were about to freeze, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

In this kind of weather, even if she can swim, she probably won't be able to swim, not to mention that she is still a landlubber who doesn't know how to swim!
Han Xi'er's consciousness gradually blurred, and at the moment when she was about to sink, she felt a pair of powerful hands holding her tightly.

Han Xi'er looked up, as if seeing Lin Da's face, he was struggling to drag her to the shore.

There was a warm current in her heart, her eyes couldn't help getting wet, and the teardrops slipped down one by one, soaking into the river water.

In fact, the person who saved her was not Lin Da, but Mazi who had been silently taking care of her since she came to Linjiacun, caring for her every word and deed.

With his help, Han Xier finally climbed ashore with difficulty.

Mazi carried her to his house, asked the elder sister of the neighbor to change her into clean clothes, and then invited the barefoot doctor over.

It's a pity that the fetus was not saved, and the mother's body was cold, so it may be very difficult to conceive again in the future.

Han Xi'er lay on the kang without saying a word.

Seeing her heartbroken, Mazi knew that she must be feeling uncomfortable, so he couldn't help comforting her:
"Sister-in-law, don't be too sad, the child is gone, and there will be another one in the future, as long as you take good care of yourself..."

"Don't comfort me, I won't have any more children in the future!"

Han Xier's voice was full of tears.

When Mazi heard this, he fell silent.

"Mazi, I'm really useless, I can't even protect a child"

Han Xi'er lowered her head and muttered to herself.

"Sister-in-law, it's not your fault, it's the widowed aunt, she's a little too powerful!"

Mazi sighed, and couldn't help complaining about his aunt.

If it wasn't for the widow's aunt who made things difficult for her, why would Han Xi'er fall into the glacier just to catch fish?

The more Mazi thought about it, the more angry he became, he simply called Ma Guihua and Aunt Wu home.

Ma Guihua and Aunt Wu were shocked when they saw Han Xier's miserable appearance.

While comforting Han Xier, they asked Mazi what was going on.

Mazi told the story in detail, and Aunt Wu immediately ran out to find Aunt Widow to complain about the injustice.

They all had a very good impression of Han Xier, especially Aunt Wu, who liked her very much.

Han Xi'er is beautiful, foreign-looking, and polite, and more importantly, she can read!

You must know that in the Great Xia Dynasty, there were very few men who could read and write, let alone women.

How could Aunt Wu bear it when such a perfect woman was tortured into such a state by Aunt Widow?

She came to the widow's house angrily, and slapped the widow twice without saying a word.

Aunt Wu has always had a bad temper, and now she is even more angry.

Aunt Widow was taken aback by this sudden change, before she realized what was going on, she was slapped twice, and it was from the same woman.

With one hand on her hip, Aunt Wu pointed at Aunt Widow's nose and cursed:
"You damn old woman, have your conscience been eaten by dogs? Such a good daughter-in-law, how can you have the heart to torture her like a human being or a ghost?"

Aunt Widow now understands that Aunt Wu is complaining for Han Xier!

She sneered:
"Xiaolangtizi has filed a complaint with you again?"

"I bother!"

Aunt Wu spit out unceremoniously, stared at Aunt Widow viciously, and cursed:
"She fell into the river in order to catch fish for you, and the child is gone! What kind of lawsuit is there!"

Aunt Wu's words were like a pot of cold water temporarily extinguishing Aunt Widow's anger, and Aunt Widow calmed down all of a sudden.

She staggered and almost lost her footing:
"How could this be?"

"How do I know? You know what you did yourself! If you weren't greedy and insisted on eating fish in the winter, would she go to the river to catch fish for you with a big belly?"

"I"

Aunt Widow opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but couldn't refute.

Seeing that Aunt Widow felt guilty, Aunt Wu sighed helplessly:
"The doctor gave birth to a chubby boy. It's a pity, a pity!"

Hearing that the child that Han Xier didn't keep was a boy, the widowed aunt felt as if her backbone had been taken out, she slumped on the ground, and muttered to herself in a daze:
"How, how, how, how is it possible."

Afterwards, Aunt Widow jumped up and ran around in the yard with a plop, 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 yelled, beat her chest and stamped her feet, like a delirious madwoman!

"Your grandson was killed by you!"

Aunt Wu grabbed her by the collar and yelled at her:
"You asked a pregnant woman who was pregnant for more than eight months to fish for you by the river in the ice and snow. What kind of mind do you have? Now that your grandson is gone, who are you pretending to be crying for?"

The widow was startled, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, her heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to pop out of her throat:
"I, I didn't. I didn't ask Han Xier to fish for fish in the river. It was her, yes, she was greedy for it, so she went to fish in the river. She killed my good grandson!"

As she spoke, she burst into tears, crying hoarsely, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances accumulated over the years.

When Aunt Wu heard this, she trembled with anger.

"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 widow's house.

But what no one expected was that everyone ignored Lin Da's tolerance for his mother!
He didn't blame Aunt Widow, not even a serious sentence.

He just went about his life as usual.

It's just that every time he drank, he would take all his grievances on Han Xi'er, either verbally insulting or punching and kicking, causing Han Xi'er to be bruised and bruised all over his body, making him miserable.
