Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 731 Farce

"This is your family matter, who am I to interfere?" Li Cunshan repeated Mrs. Li’s earlier words verbatim and lifted his leg to walk out.

Old Li grabbed Li Cunshan’s arm, "Big brother, that woman doesn’t understand, don’t take her seriously."

Li Cunshan shook off Old Li’s hand, ignored him completely, and left directly.

Jiang Xinyu looked at Ga Zi and his sister, whose voices were hoarse from crying, and her heart was full of sympathy.

"Ga Zi, you go home with Teacher Jiang, and we’ll talk when your parents come back."

Ga Zi, just six years old, was holding his sister who appeared to be less than one year old; anyone who saw it would feel distressed.

The two children were skin and bones, especially the little girl, whose face showed no trace of color.

Jiang Xinyu walked over to Ga Zi. She took the little girl, "Teacher Jiang will hold her. I have milk powder at home; you come with me and feed your sister."

Ga Zi knelt and kowtowed to Jiang Xinyu while sobbing.

This gave Jiang Xinyu quite a scare. Wei Kaiyun came over to help Ga Zi up, and the four of them left the Li family courtyard without any of Ga Zi’s grandparents, uncles, or aunts asking them to stay.

On the way, no one spoke. Jiang Xinyu truly felt pain, sympathizing with these two children.

The crowd outside the Li family hadn’t dispersed, all eyes were still on the inside, and Mrs. Li came out and shut the door with a bang. So no more to see?

Old Li sat on a bench, a dark look in his eyes as he kept his gaze low on Mrs. Li.

"Leader of the family, wasn’t it you who told me to do this?"

Hearing Mrs. Li’s words, Old Li tugged at the corners of his mouth, which sent a fright through Mrs. Li.

"Leader of the family, I was wrong, I was wrong."

"Don’t say such useless things. If the police really come, you know what not to say."

"I know, I know, it’s all my fault."

"Eventually, we’ll separate the family."

"How can that be? How will the second brother and daughter survive?"

"Then they can just go die." Old Li was mad with anger now, but thinking back on the look of hatred in his eldest son’s eyes, he knew that even if he wanted his son to care for him in old age, it would be impossible now.

From now on, he would still have to support those two failures. After a lifetime of work, he just wanted to enjoy a little peace. But he miscalculated, he should have agreed to divide the family today, then he could still have gone to live with the eldest son’s when he got old. Now, it’s too late for anything.

As for Li Changjiang, it took an hour and a half to push his wife to the township clinic. The doctor saw Yu Guiying’s injuries and scolded Li Changjiang, "How can you be a husband like this? She’s lost too much blood! Quickly set up an IV; if it doesn’t work, she’ll need a transfusion."

Li Changjiang was starving, angry, and exhausted. He couldn’t even lift his head now.

Er Hong went out and bought three steamed buns for Li Changjiang. "Big brother, hurry and eat. If you fall, the family is finished. What will happen to Ga Zi and Little Girl?"

Li Changjiang took the buns and ate them in large bites, swallowing and crying at the same time. He felt incapable, useless, unable to protect his wife and kids.

The several half-grown lads all felt quite uncomfortable in their hearts.

After eating, Li Changjiang sat by the bed and watched his wife’s face looking a little better. He immediately ran out to call the doctor.

The doctor checked again. "Not bad, no need for a blood transfusion."

Only then did Li Changjiang breathe a sigh of relief. In the eyes of ordinary folks, a blood transfusion was required only for incurable diseases.

Er Hong and the other three had already returned, and Li Changjiang waited until his wife’s IV was finished, and seeing she was fine, he felt much more at ease.

Thinking she would definitely be hungry when she woke up, he went out to buy food again.

But he had money but no food tickets. What was he to do?

Returning to the hospital, he saw his wife sleeping peacefully and went out again.

The emergency doctor saw Li Changjiang looking downcast and asked, learning he didn’t have food tickets.

A middle-aged male doctor reached into his pocket, took out two one-pound food tickets, and handed them to Li Changjiang, "I’ll lend you these."

"Doctor, thank you, thank you."

The doctor, knowing they didn’t have a food container, also lent them his own.

Li Changjiang thanked profusely, then ran out to buy a white-flour pancake and a pot of millet porridge for his wife.

No matter what, he had to make sure his wife had a full meal.

He swore never again to be a beast of burden for his family. If anyone bullied his wife and kids, he would fight to the death. Enough of the days of humiliation. He had truly been useless and had to stand up. His wife and kids were bullied to death.

Yu Guiying opened her eyes, looking at the white ceiling.

"Guiying, Guiying, you’re awake? I’ll call the doctor right away." Li Changjiang stumbled and ran out to call the doctor.

Yu Guiying stared, her mind blank, she was still alive?

Thinking of this, tears rolled down her cheeks—her poor children. She served food and drinks to the whole family, and her kids got hit by their uncle and aunt when they sat at the table for meals.

Out of anger, she suggested separating from the family. She never expected that old hag to hit her on the head with a shoehorn.

She couldn’t live like this anymore, even for a day. She would live separately with her two kids and could still raise them. Ga Zi was so sensible; why should he serve as a slave to a family of beasts?

At this point, the doctor also ran in, seeing the patient crying, he sighed, checked her pulse, and inspected the wound.

"It’s okay, the critical period has passed, but you’ll still need to stay in the hospital for IV treatment for a couple of days."

"Of course, of course, thank you, doctor."

"Treat your wife well; don’t wait until you lose her to start cherishing her."

Li Changjiang nodded; through this incident, he truly realized that his parents never treated him as a son, merely their long-term laborer.

Li Changjiang sent the doctor off, then sat on the bench by the bedside, "Guiying, I bought you food, eat up quickly. Getting full will help you recover faster."

"Do you know? Since being with you, I’ve never once been full. Li Changjiang, are you even a man? You can’t even provide for your wife and kids. I despise you. I’m not staying with you; I can still raise our two kids by myself."

"Guiying, I was wrong. Even if everyone curses me, I will leave that home."

"Hmph. Your dad says a few nice words, and you lose yourself."

"Guiying, I swear, I’m telling the truth. I will separate from the family, no, leave with nothing, and cut off all ties regarding their lives and deaths."

"Li Changjiang, that’s not enough, that’s not enough. Over the years, the grievances I’ve endured in your family can’t be erased with just a few words."

Li Changjiang held Yu Guiying’s hand, "Guiying. You tell me, as long as I can do it, I will never shirk."

"I want to sue them, not a single one left behind. Everything that happened over the years, them tormenting me, I’ve recorded it all."
