Surprise! The rough husband is the hidden boss of the period literature

Chapter 416 For Mother
Xu Qinghuan patted Erdan's head and said, "Erdan is a good boy who knows how to protect his younger siblings."

She gave Erdan a piece of rice cake.

Zhou Guizhi had already come over and stood in front of the children. As soon as Hu E stood up, the two of them greeted each other.

Xu Qinghuan pushed the child to the side to move to a different spot. Xie Zaohua and Li Fengying came over to take sides, and basically the three of them were bullying Hu E. She was no match for Zhou Guizhi to begin with, and now she was so angry that she sat down on the ground and wailed.

"The people from the commune leadership's family are bullying us! Everyone come and see, is there no justice in this world?!"

Zhou Guizhi smoothed the stray hairs on her head, put her hands on her hips like a teapot with two handles, and said, "Who did you bully? Unlike your family, where you don't even utter a sound when your own child does something, but you want to beat people up?"

He's five years old, and he stole food from my six-month-old baby. Erdan defended his little sister, so how did he bully you?

“My son Xiaoping has never eaten rice cake before. He wanted to try it, so what? He's just a child. Even if he bullied your child, I'm here to help. Why should your older child beat my younger one?”

"Oh my, this is really strange!" Zhou Guizhi laughed in anger. "Your eldest son is bullying my youngest son, why don't you step in and say something?"

"What kind of child is yours? He's only six months old and he already knows how to hit people. Look what you've done to my Xiaoping's face! If he's left with scars, how will he ever find a wife? Pay up! If you don't pay up, I'm going to sue you in the county!"

Zhou Guizhi was about to argue with her when Xu Qinghuan pulled her back, saying, "Auntie, don't pay any attention to her. Let her go sue. Let her go now. Don't just talk the talk!"

Kong Lijuan was tidying up the corn cobs when she glanced at Xu Qinghuan's clothes and her two children, and felt a pang of sadness.

Back then, they came from Shanghai together. She had her parents and aunt to take care of her, but Xu Qinghuan was an orphan, and her fiancé was stolen by her cousin.

Because of her arrival, she hooked up with Jiang Xingye, and her life seemed to have been blessed with extraordinary luck.

She never worked in the fields, and her food and clothing were no different from those in the city. Jiang Xingye doted on her, and she gave birth to twins in one pregnancy. Everyone said Xu Qinghuan was lucky.

But what about her?
She also gave birth to a son for the Sun family, who is almost a year old. Now that they have all gone out to work, the child is left to crawl around at home by himself. When she went back yesterday, the child had soiled himself and no one was taking care of him. He was covered in feces, from head to toe.

The moment she saw it, tears streamed down her face.

Jealousy, like a venomous snake, gnawed at her reason.

"If you ask me, Aunt Hu, you're just being arrogant," Kong Lijuan said while busy with her work. "Can your child compare to the Jiang family's?"

"Look at how well other people raise their kids, like the pampered sons of the old days. What's your kid? A cowherd from a tenant farmer's house! Everyone has their own fate, yet you try to compare yourself to them!"

Jiang Xingmei came over after get off work and overheard the conversation. She slapped Kong Lijuan across the face and said, "Who are you trying to frame? My Jiang family's children are precious because they are all descendants of revolutionaries. Their ancestors were heroes who fought on the battlefield against the Japanese and shed blood."

They'll be my future reserve force, contributing to the country! What are you? You're a whore who's been ridden by a thousand men and slept with by ten thousand! Who are you trying to implicate?

Kong Lijuan was stabbed, and she rushed forward to fight Jiang Xingmei. Jiang Xinglan was behind her and went to help.

The two sisters pinned Kong Lijuan to the ground, and she yelled, "One of you was divorced by a man, and the other was jilted by a man. What kind of good people are you!"

"So what? We're the ones who don't want men! You can't live without a man, you even treat someone like Sun Laizi like a treasure, you cheapskate!" Jiang Xinglan cursed.

Xu Qinghuan walked over and said, "Kong Lijuan, are you feeling resentful because I'm doing well? Do you think you can do anything to me with just a few words? You have no self-awareness and haven't learned your lesson yet!"

This time, I'm letting it slide because your child is young. But if there's a next time, and you dare to mess with me again, you won't be so lucky.

"Go, go, go, ignore them, go back to eat!" Zhou Guizhi spat in this direction, finding it unlucky.

The machines stopped, and it was extremely quiet on the field.

Once everyone had packed up their things, they went home without a word. Passing by Kong Lijuan, everyone wanted to stay as far away from her as possible. She felt uneasy being ignored, but she was also extremely unwilling to make peace with Xu Qinghuan from now on.

Returning home dejectedly, Qiu Linghua was cracking open a handful of pumpkin seeds. Across the courtyard wall, she and He Xianglan were gossiping about the educated youth. When they saw Kong Lijuan come in, they exchanged a smile, and He Xianglan turned and went inside.

When Kong Lijuan saw her son lying motionless on the ground, his face covered in bruises, she rushed over, crying, "Niu Dan, what happened to you? Niu Dan, what happened to you?"

She cried out in anguish, picked up her child, and ran outside, crying, "Xu Qinghuan, please save my son! Please save my son!"

The child's trachea is blocked by something.

Xu Qinghuan was walking at the gate of the courtyard when Jiang Xingye, wearing an apron, came out to greet the mother and her two children.

Jiang Xingye asked, "What happened?"

Xu Qinghuan was also somewhat helpless, "Ask your daughter, she scratched Aunt Hu's Xiaoping."

"There's no way he scratched her for no reason." Jiang Xingye picked up his daughter and kissed her. "He must have bullied my daughter!"

“Yes, your daughter is always right!” Xu Qinghuan pushed her son into the yard.

Kong Lijuan rushed over, holding her child, and knelt down in front of Xu Qinghuan, pleading, "Please save my child!"

She lifted the child up as if offering him as a sacrifice; at that moment, all her spirit was gone.

Xu Qinghuan was also startled. She took the child, checked him over, and then used first aid to dislodge the pumpkin seed from his throat, and the child resumed breathing.

She picked up a pumpkin seed from the ground and handed it to Kong Lijuan, saying, "This kind of thing is very dangerous for such a young child."

Kong Lijuan held the child tightly in her arms, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at the pumpkin seeds. "His grandmother broke them. They must have fallen on the ground, and he picked them up and ate them."

She held her child and cried, still shaken.

Qiu Linghua followed slowly and deliberately. "What happened? You scared me to death! What happened to Niu Dan? Let me tell you, if anything happens to my grandson, I won't let you off the hook!"

Kong Lijuan put the child on the ground and charged at Qiu Linghua like a bull. Qiu Linghua was thrown a long way and fractured her tailbone when she fell, and was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.

Xu Qinghuan was also thinking of the child's sake. "If it had been any later, the child wouldn't have been saved. The child is too young, so we have to be careful when taking care of him. We can't put anything that's going to be put in his mouth within his reach."

Kong Lijuan cried, "His grandmother is taking care of him. The old woman only cares about herself and never takes care of the child. Yesterday, he pooped and didn't even clean it up. When I got back, the child..."

She couldn't bring herself to say that the child had eaten her own excrement.

Xu Qinghuan gasped and advised, "Since that's the case, you stay home and take care of the child, and let his grandmother go to work. The child is the most important thing. If anything happens to him, it will be too late to regret it."

Kong Lijuan wiped away her tears, "Thank you for today. How much is the medical bill? I'll pay you!"

Xu Qinghuan felt a little uncomfortable with her being so easy to talk to, and waved her hand, "It's good that she's saved, and we didn't waste any medicine, so forget it."

Kong Lijuan thanked her again, took the child and went home. When she got to her door, she really didn't want to go in, so she turned around and went to find Shen Jinju.

Shen Jinju had just finished eating and was holding her child while Dong Liangcheng was washing the dishes.

She glanced at Dong Liangcheng. Back then, everyone laughed at Shen Jinju, an educated youth who married a fool, but she eventually made it through. What about her?
