She kept reaching out to grab Daya, but her reaction was too quick and she missed every time. The more this happened, the angrier Baodan's mother became, and she wanted to catch Daya desperately.
But before she could grab Daya, she was suddenly pushed to the ground by a force, and then someone sat on her. She felt a pain and was slapped several times in the face. Having lost the initiative, Baodan Niang could only be forced to be beaten. When she wanted to resist, her arms were tightly grasped by another person.
"You damn bitch, you dare to bully our children. Do you think we adults are dead?" Li San's wife rode on Baodan's mother and beat and scolded her.
"Mom, she just scolded me and wanted to hit me." Li Ru glanced at Daya and decided to follow her heart and complain to her mother.
Li Ru's words were like adding fuel to the fire. Li Xushi became even more forceful, and anyone who dared to bully her daughter had to ask her, as a mother, for her consent.
They were making so much noise here that many people soon gathered around. Most of them were from Lijia Village. Seeing that it was Li San's wife and she had not suffered any loss, they stopped being anxious and just watched the fun from the side. Although there were people from Xishan Village, Baodan's mother was too unpopular, so it was good that they didn't add fuel to the fire."How dare this woman bully Li San's daughter? How can she be so careless! Everyone knows that Li San and his second brother love their daughter to the bone. If anyone dares to bully their daughter, they will smash the pot of the family and beat up the father of the child."
"That's right. It's because Li San wasn't around. If you dare to bully his daughter, you'll annoy him. But he has a habit of beating women."
"Speaking of which, wasn't it this woman who made a scene at Master Gu's place last time?"
"It was her. She was given a beating by Master Gu. Now it seems that the beating was not light enough." The speaker clicked his tongue and shook his head as he spoke.
"It's just hard for the two children. Why did they reincarnate into this woman's belly when there are so many other places to go?"
"Yes! Fortunately, they are now free from suffering following Master Gu."
"Yes, yes…"
Everyone nodded in agreement. It's true. It's only been a short time since the two girls followed Master Gu, but in less than a month they have changed a lot. If they had not seen the two children's previous appearances, they would not have dared to recognize them now.
Theu has gained weight, there is light in they eyes, and dares to look up at people.
The crowd began to discuss quietly, and everyone looked at the person who was beaten with a gloating look. They arrived a little later, but some people still saw the scene where Baodan's mother chased and beat Daya. Everyone knows that the Li family and Master Gu are relatives. Master Gu's people were bullied and the daughter of the Li family was also implicated. How could the wives of the Li family let this woman off? They would not stop until she was convinced and begged for mercy.
"Baodan's mother, if you are wrong, just admit it immediately. Doesn't it hurt when you get hit?" Someone from Xishan Village shouted out with good intentions.
I don't know if it was because of what she heard, or because her body was really in pain, or because she was scared of being beaten, but Baodan's mother really begged for mercy.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, please stop hitting me, it hurts... Please stop hitting me."
"Now you feel the pain. How could you not know that the child would feel pain when you hit her? How could you, an adult, have the heart to do that?" Li Xushi grabbed Baodan's mother hard again. Baodan's mother gasped in pain and her face became distorted in an instant.
At the same time, the onlookers saw that Li San's wife had almost vented her anger, so they hurried forward to separate them. After a few more hits, Li Xushu and her brother's wife finally stood up. The two of them walked over, tidying up their hair and clothes, and came in front of the children, staring coldly at Baodan's mother who had not yet gotten up from the ground.
"Next time if we catch you bullying our child, I'll beat you even harder than this." Li Xuashi threatened with resentment, scaring Baodan's mother.
Daya and Erya watched coldly the whole time. Neither of the two sisters stepped forward or said a soft word on behalf of their mother Baodan. This beating was nothing compared to the beatings the two sisters had received before.
Baodan's mother endured the pain and sat up from the ground. Her hair was pulled into a mess, and a few clumps of hair were scattered on the grass. With her head down, it could be seen that her swollen face was covered with blood-red scratches, some of which were even bleeding. Her clothes were also in a mess. Fortunately, Li San's wife just wanted to teach her a lesson and didn't want to tear her clothes, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.
No matter how angry Baodan's mother was, there was nothing she could do. She had just been beaten, and she couldn't act like that anymore, unless she wanted to be beaten again. She could only blame herself for being unlucky today. She didn't even tidy up. She just got up and ran away with her head down. She was not really stupid. She couldn't beat the other person, and she didn't dare to scold her. There was nothing she could do here except embarrass herself.
Today I really ended up losing the rice instead of the chicken. If I had known this would happen, I would not have come here. It turns out that these two money-losing guys were born to be her nemesis. When has she ever been beaten so badly? Baodan's mother thought angrily as she ran.
"Thank you, aunties." Daya looked away indifferently at the people running away and thanked them seriously.
"You're welcome. If you see your irresponsible mother again, come to me and I'll help you vent your anger." Li Xushi really looked down on Baodan's mother. No one would treat her own child as badly as she did. Whether it is a boy or a girl, aren't they all treasures given to us by God? Some people just can't figure it out.
Daya nodded, but she knew in her heart that such a thing would not happen again. She must be more alert in the future and would never let this mother get close to her sisters.
"Look, your face is swollen. It must be very painful. What a silly child." Li Wang, the second daughter-in-law of Li, said with heartache as she looked at Daya's face.
"It doesn't hurt anymore," Daya smiled.
This made Li Er and Li San's wives even more distressed, and they cursed Baodan's mother in their hearts again.
After this happened, no one was in the mood to dig wild vegetables anymore. They had already dug a lot anyway, so they just took the children and went back home.
After saying goodbye to their sisters-in-law and aunts from the same village, the two of them went back with their children and soon returned to the forest where they were resting.
She sent Daya and Erya to Gulan embarrassedly, and the sisters-in-law explained the slap marks on Daya's face.
After taking a look at the slap on the little girl's face, she realized that if it weren't for them, this girl would never get anything good against her mother. After understanding the reason, Gulan hurriedly thanked the second and third sisters-in-law of the Li family.
The other Gulans didn't say anything? They didn't know what to say either? It was hard for the two children to have such a mother. You can't tell the children that if their mother hits them again, they can hit her back. And Daya did a very good job today. Not only did she know how to protect Li Ru, she also knew how to hide.
The mother of the two children had better not get into her hands, otherwise she will definitely be given a good beating.
Glancing at the child's swollen cheeks, Gulan got on the carriage and took out a dozen eggs from the basket. Seeing this, Xiang Yunjin lighted a fire with great insight.
This guy is becoming more and more perceptive and down-to-earth. Gulan is optimistic about it. No one likes to serve a young master. With a smile on his face, he took out a clay pot, put the washed eggs in, added water and boiled them over high heat. Then she got back on the carriage and took out some seasonings and a small bag of tea dregs, which she had collected while touring the town yesterday.
