On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 49 Is it really impossible to change fate?

Li Shiyue looked at Father Li half-lying on the ground and smiling happily at Qin Tao. She had to admit that what Mother Li said before was true!
"Mother, you are right, Father is crazy, he is really crazy!"

Li Shiyue can guarantee that apart from herself and Li Shiyang, only Qin Tao and Li Wangren know that the child in Qin Tao's belly is not Li's father's. Li's father himself is absolutely unaware of it.

Because of the unknown baby's gender in Qin Tao's belly, Li's father disobeyed Grandmother Li on the way to escape famine. He would rather divorce Mother Li than leave Qin Tao. He wanted to see Qin Tao give birth to this child for him.

The person who valued this child so much actually beat the child with his own hands!

Moreover, the drummer cheered?

Isn't this crazy?
Just now, Li Shiyue pushed Li's father away, preventing Li's father from hitting Qin Tao on the head with the stick. It can be said that he saved Qin Tao's life and completed the task assigned by the system.

But at this moment, Li Shiyue had no time to care about the ding-dong-ding sound in his mind indicating that the task was completed.
At this moment, she was staring at Qin Tao. She just wanted to know whether the baby in Qin Tao's belly could be saved!
If she couldn't keep it, wouldn't that confirm the plot of the original book that she had seen in the system before?

The plot of the original book is "Grandmother Li was pushed out by Father Li to block the knife and died." Although Grandmother Li did not die by the knife this time, she was still indirectly killed by Father Li!

"Qin Tao miscarried the unborn fetus in her belly in order to save Li Chunli." Now Qin Tao's miscarriage can be said to have been caused by saving Li Chunli.

So, can Qin Tao keep the baby in her belly?

If he couldn't protect it, then would the incident in the original book, "Li Shiyue was hacked to death by refugees while trying to save Shitou," also happen?

When Li Shiyue opened the system in his mind again to check the plot of the original book, Li Youfu looked at Li Shigui who was kneeling in front of him and kowtowed to beg him, and he felt a little bit unbearable in his heart.

"Shiyang?"

Li Shiyang turned around and nodded to Li Youfu, then shouted to the villagers who were watching: "Human life is at stake, come on, everyone, give a hand and send him to the city's medical clinic."

During the few hours that Qin Tao was sent back from the hospital, no one cared about Li's father who was lying on the ground. It was Li's father who got up little by little and went to Qin Tao's side.

At the Li family's place, Li Shiyang took the lead. With strength in numbers, he led the villagers to help find a place nearby and dig a hole, so they buried Grandmother Li nearby.

Li Wangming was kneeling in front of his grandmother's grave at this moment, and his mother was accompanying him with a stone.

In the evening, when the last ray of daylight had not yet fallen, a few villagers came back driving a donkey cart. On the donkey cart lay Qin Tao, who was wrapped tightly. Next to Qin Tao sat Li Chunli, who was wiping her tears with her head down.

Li Shiyue watched Qin Tao being sent back, so she went to call Li's mother and others to come back.

Today's matter must be resolved. We can't just let it go like this.

Moreover, what Li Shiyue wants to know most now is whether Qin Tao’s child is saved?

In fact, when she saw Li Chunli crying, she already had some ideas in her mind.

The torches were lit, and Li Youfu and his third great uncle sat and listened to the villagers talking about how they were sending Qin Tao to the county town to see a doctor.

".She couldn't be saved. The doctor said if she had gone any later, the bleeding wouldn't have stopped and she wouldn't have survived.

Fortunately, we hurried on the road, which saved our lives.

But the doctor said,

The man was a little embarrassed to speak, so the man behind him spoke first: "Well, the doctor also said that although Qin Tao's life was saved this time, her foundation was injured. I'm afraid she won't be able to have children in the future.

Well, that's what the doctor said." The man who interrupted said this while nodding to himself.

Yes, among the people who sent Qin Tao to the county town to see a doctor this time, except Li Chunli and Li Shiyang, all of them were men.

At that time, Li Shiyang called two women and asked them to go with him.

Li Shiyang was very thoughtful. After all, it was a woman who had a miscarriage. For such an illness, it would be most convenient for the woman to go along with the doctor.

Even if Li Chunli, Qin Tao's biological daughter, was with them, Li Chunli was still young, and how could a married woman take good care of her? However, when Li Shiyang called someone, they were not willing to go at all.

".Well, nephew Shiyang, my mother-in-law is still sick at home, how can I leave?"

Another person also declined, saying, "My child is in a very troublesome state. He can't be comforted without me. I really can't go."

Finally, Li Shiyang had no choice but to call his second uncle Li Wangren's wife Yu Zhenniang, but Yu Zhenniang's face showed reluctance. Even though Li Wangren kept advocating that the whole village should help, Yu Zhenniang was still unwilling.

In the end, there was no other choice but for the little girl Li Chunli to go with them, along with Li Shigui and three villagers.

The women were unwilling to help, not because they were so cold-blooded that they wanted to watch Qin Tao die of blood loss from miscarriage.

It was just because of what Li’s father said at the end: “The child born out of adultery deserves to die.”

First of all, Qin Tao is not a decent person. She hooked up with other people's men. This is not only bad for her reputation, but also against the interests of other decent ladies in the village.

Secondly, since the adulterer Li's father said that the illegitimate child deserved to die, then who would want to have anything to do with Qin Tao and the illegitimate child?
Furthermore, according to the doctor invited by Li Shiyang, there are many patients with flushed faces and hoarse throats in the county town at this moment, so it is better not to go if possible.

Therefore, this led to a situation where when Qin Tao's family of three got into trouble, no one was willing to help.

Li Youfu and the three elders looked at each other. In fact, they didn't want to care about the affairs of Li's father and Qin Tao's family. They had to hide from the soldiers on the way to escape famine, encountered the plague, and went to Dengzhou, which was already worrying enough.

Who would want to hang out with you two immoral couple?

However, you have to intervene even if you don't want to, because there are two lives involved here.

Just as Li Youfu was about to speak, another loud "Ah" was heard.

It’s Father Li!
It turned out that when Li Shigui came back, he wanted to help his mother lie down on the donkey cart, but the seat for lying on the donkey cart was occupied.

Father Li was lying there.

Therefore, Li Shigui settled all the new and old grudges together. Without saying a word, he went up and used all his strength to pull Li's father down in one go.

Father Li was already ill, and was beaten by Li Wangming. Even though he lay on the donkey cart for a few hours to rest, he was still covered in injuries.

Li Shigui's blow made him fall hard, so Li's father shouted out.

Hearing Father Li's words, Li Shiyue and the others who were eating porridge together stopped eating and asked, "Mother? Do you want to go and take a look?"

Before Li's mother could reply, Li Wangming had already put down his bowl and was about to stand up.

Mother Li grabbed the hem of Li Wangming's shirt, shook her head at him, and then said to Li Shiyue, "He is your father after all. You and Shitou should go and take a look."

Li Shiyue took Shitou's hand and went to the back of their donkey cart. Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian also wanted to get up and follow them, but Li Shiyue waved her hand and told the two sisters not to go.

"It's not a good thing. Sister, don't get involved. Shitou and I have to go. You guys don't have to go."

When Li Shiyue and Shitou arrived, Li Shigui had already been arrested by Li Shiyang.

Li Shiyue went to see Li's father. He was standing with the wooden stick that Li's grandmother had used before, and there were new wounds on his face.

"You little bastard, you want me to leave?
Haha, that's fine, just give me back all the food, drinks and things you used. As long as you give me back everything without losing a penny, I'll leave!"
