Chapter 386: Save Her
"Mom, please give me something to eat. Lihua hasn't eaten for a day and she can't hold on any longer."
In a woods, Liu Caoya begged her mother-in-law Feng.
"The adults are almost out of food, just leave this girl alone! If you can't hold on, you don't have to drag down the whole family!"
Feng said somewhat harshly.
Liu Caoya was unmoved by her pleas and kept her food pocket tightly closed, refusing to take out any food.
No matter how lowly Liu Caoya begged, her mother-in-law refused to let go. She felt bitter and astringent in her heart, so she turned and walked away.
Su Youwu on the side couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Feng.
Feng shook her hand and glared at him: "Don't pity that girl. If it weren't for her, your brother and your father wouldn't have lost their lives. It was all because of her hard life!"
"mother!"
Su Youwu wanted to say more, but Feng couldn't listen and turned his back.
Xia He's eyes dimmed as he sat blankly beside him. Is it because she is also a hard-working person? That's why her husband's family kicked her out when her man and son were gone?
Xia He was also hungry, but she didn't dare to speak.
She was kicked out by her husband's family, but fortunately her mother took her in, so she would not be homeless. She didn't want to be said to be a dragster, and a married woman would go back to her parents' home to live in her parents' home.
Xia He buried his head on his knees.
Su Sanxi on the side sighed when she saw this, and glanced at Zheng: "Fuck..."
Mrs. Zheng glared at him: "Our family doesn't have much food.
Although he said that, he couldn't bear it when he saw Liu Caoya digging for grass roots like a headless fly, trying to find food for her daughter.
Just as she was taking out grain from the grain bag, Su Siquan was already walking towards Liu Caoya holding three-year-old Qingzao.
"Here is half a piece of cake. You can give it to Lihua to eat. It will be fine when we reach Renzhou."
Seeing her father hand her cake to her second sister-in-law, Qingzao pursed her lips and swallowed.
"Thank you, fourth uncle, thank you, fourth uncle!"
Liu Caoya wiped away her tears, quickly took half the cake and stuffed it into her arms, and walked towards her daughter.
"Dad..." Qingzao called Su Siquan aggrievedly.
Su Siquan's heart ached when he heard his daughter's weak voice.
He stroked her back: "Qing Zao has just eaten half a piece, right? Your niece hasn't eaten all day. Qing Zao doesn't want her to disappear, right?"
"Yeah." The little Qingzao hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Although she is one year younger than Lihua, she is actually a generation older than Lihua. Dad said that she is an elder and should love the younger ones.
Qingzao swallowed again and lay softly back on Su Siquan's shoulder.
Su Siquan comforted her: "Good boy Qingzao, we can reach Renzhou in two days. By then, we will meet your brothers and sisters, and your uncle and aunt, and we will have a lot to eat. OK?"
"Okay. Uncle and aunt, do your brothers and sisters like Qingzao?"
"Yes, your uncle's family are all good people."
"When can I see my uncle's family?"
"We'll be there in two days' walk, ah."
"Um."
On the other side, Liu Caoya took out half a piece of cake from her arms and wanted to feed it to her daughter who was so weak that she couldn't even open her eyes. She was snatched away by Mrs. Feng who came over.
"The adults don't even have to eat it. And they feed it to this stubborn girl!"
"Mom, Lihua can't hold it anymore. I beg you."
Liu Caoya wanted to grab half of the cake, but Feng pushed her away fiercely: "If you can't hold it any longer, just throw it away so as not to drag us down."
"Mom, Lihua is also your granddaughter. He is the only flesh and blood of Youwen in the world..."
"You have the nerve to mention Youwen! If it weren't for this girl, my Youwen wouldn't be dead, and Youwen's father wouldn't be dead either. It was all because of her!"
"Second sister-in-law, that Taoist priest just cheated you out of food and drink. Do you still believe what he said! Lihua is Youwen's flesh and blood. You treat Lihua like this. How can Youwen feel at ease underneath?" Mrs. Zheng couldn't see it and came to drink. Lived her.
Feng couldn't listen: "Youwen was all defeated by her, she was a nuisance to my father. If it weren't for her, Youwen and Erhe would still be alive now, and the Taoist would have said that Youwen was destined to be rich and powerful..."
Su Siquan interrupted her: "Second sister-in-law, please stop talking about the Taoist priest's nonsense. Now that Wen is gone, Lihua is Youwen's only flesh and blood, even if it's for Youwen's sake..."
Feng didn't listen: "What do you know! If it weren't for her, Erhe and Youwen would still be here, both of them would still be there!"
"Mom!" Su Youwu and Xia He couldn't stand it anymore, so they came over and helped Feng away.
Before leaving, Mrs. Feng refused to hand over the half piece of cake.
Liu Caoya's eyes were dull, and she stared blankly at Lihua who couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed, as if her soul had left her body.
Did Pear Blossom really harm her father and grandfather?
Is Lihua going to look for them now?
Lihua is an unknown person, but what about her? She is also an unknown person, so her parents' family doesn't want her, her husband's family doesn't like her, the man she married is gone, and now her daughter is leaving too.
Zheng shook Liu Caoya several times, but she didn't respond.
He looked at Su Sanxi and sighed. He touched a small piece of dry biscuit, broke it into pieces and stuffed it into Lihua's mouth, and then gave her water.
But soon the water flowed out of Lihua's mouth, and the cake was still in her mouth. Lihua no longer knew how to swallow.
"Lihua, Lihua..." Mrs. Zheng was heartbroken and shook her gently, but Lihua didn't even open her eyelids.
Liu Caoya came to her senses, hugged Lihua, shook her, and called her: "Lihua, mother's Lihua, open your eyes and look at mother, we have walked to the south, and will soon reach Renzhou, you have to hold on, you will have food when you get to your aunt's house, Lihua, Lihua..."
After shaking for a long time, Lihua did not respond at all.
Liu Caoya was panicked and in pain.
Lihua, if you can't survive, mother will not live either, mother will stay with you.
Mother will carry you to the city to see a doctor, and you will be fine after seeing the doctor.
Liu Caoya picked up the light Lihua and walked towards the main road, muttering: "Lihua, don't be afraid, mother will take you to see a doctor, and Lihua will be fine after seeing the doctor. When you are well, mother will take Lihua to buy delicious food, and mother will buy you whatever Lihua wants to eat..."
"Caoya, where are you going with the child?" Zheng and Su Sanxi followed behind and called her.
Liu Caoya was immersed in her own thoughts. She could not hear anything and her eyes were unfocused. She just walked mechanically with Lihua in her arms toward the main road.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, where are you taking Lihua?" Yougui and Qiuju stared at her blankly.
Su Sanxi and Zheng pushed his siblings and said, "Hurry up and follow them."
In the woods, in addition to the Su family, there were many people who had fled from the north. They also rested in the woods and sat in groups of three or two not far away, watching the excitement of the Su family.
Along the way, if you flee alone, you may not be able to save your life. You want to live with others, but you are worried that the other person is not a good person.
So everyone gathered together, not too far away and not too close.
Seeing this situation, everyone felt sad. Thinking of their family members who did not survive along the way, they felt a little bit of sympathy.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and hide in the woods, there are a lot of people coming!"
Hearing a loud noise ahead, Su Youfu and Qiuju hurried over and grabbed Liu Caoya to take her to the woods.
But Liu Caoya was dragged back to her senses by the two of them. She was stunned for a moment, listened carefully, and then ran towards the sound with Lihua in her arms.
