The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 17: Worse Than Beasts – The Li Family

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Worse Than Beasts – The Li Family

Xiao Chenyue was somewhat weak, "Chenye, the child is still here, let’s go home first."

"Sister!"

He was a bit exasperated, "At this time, you’re still tolerating it, making concessions?"

Xiao Chenyue laughed miserably, "It’s not about tolerating or conceding, it’s because I feel sorry for my daughter. She’s too young, and I’m afraid with all this turmoil, something might happen to her."

Logically, one shouldn’t cry during the postpartum confinement, but Xiao Chenyue couldn’t hold back, she bit her lip, choking, "You brat, why did you come only now!"

A while longer, and she really wouldn’t be able to endure.

Wen Ran rushed out from the crowd, "Do you need any help?"

Seeing Wen Ran, Xiao Chenye showed a bitter smile, "I’m really sorry, letting you see such a joke."

"This is not the time to talk nonsense. What’s the plan? Are we taking them away, or giving them a beating?"

If Xiao Chenyue hadn’t said those words earlier, he would definitely want to hit this entire family before saying anything else. But the second sister is right, first take care of the child.

"Let’s go!"

He shouted at Mrs. Xiao, "Mom, don’t waste words with them, take my niece, let’s go."

Mrs. Xiao nodded, looking at the baby in the swaddle, weak as a breath, determined, "You rotten-hearted people, just wait for me!"

Seeing the group about to leave, Mrs. Li Sr. was dumbfounded.

She instinctively reached out, "No way, this is my daughter-in-law and granddaughter. Letting the Xiao family take them, what kind of situation is that?"

"It’s your father’s business," Mrs. Xiao cursed while walking with the child.

"The grown-up one crawled out of the old lady’s belly, the little one crawled out of my daughter’s belly, why can’t we take them?"

Mrs. Li Sr. originally thought the Xiao family was causing a scene to put on airs, she didn’t care much.

But now it seems, she guessed wrong.

These rural peasants, surprisingly tough.

She was a bit panicked, reaching out to grab Mrs. Xiao, "No way! This is my granddaughter. Even if she dies, she must die in the Li family."

"Bah bah bah! Old thing, if anyone dies, it’s you who dies first!"

Wen Ran noticed the dispute over there, rushing over immediately.

The next second, Mrs. Li Sr. in desperation, grabbed recklessly towards the swaddle.

If she really got a hold, the child would either die or be half-dead.

Xiao Chenyue’s heart jumped out, "My child..."

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Wen Ran arrived wearing a backpack, caught that vile hand, and swiftly threw Mrs. Li Sr. off, "What are you doing? Attempted murder?"

She coldly laughed, standing in front of Mrs. Xiao, shielding, "If you want to die, just keep moving forward, try it."

Mrs. Li Sr. fell on the ground, crying out loud, "Everyone, open your eyes and see! These rural peasants are bullying us!"

Wen Ran ignored her, protecting Mrs. Xiao moving forward, "Aunt, let’s go."

Mrs. Xiao was still a bit dazed, unexpected meeting trouble, Wen Ran was so capable, she reached out, wiped away tears messily, "Hey! Let’s go home."

Mrs. Li Sr. wouldn’t give up, scrambled up, went to tear at them, still cursing vilely, Wen Ran was so annoyed, she slapped her, the world quieted.

Wen Ran took a deep breath, yeah, just like that!

Satisfying!

The group rushed away.

Mrs. Xiao looked at her granddaughter, too hungry to even cry, tears welled up, "Damn the Li family, damn them!"

"Mother," Xiao Chenye, silent all along, said, "Stop cursing, first think of a way to get some food for my sister and the child."

Xiao Chenye has many brothers in the county, but he didn’t want people to see such a miserable sister now.

Yet...

"Shall we go to the state-run restaurant?" Wen Ran suggested, "Get something for the second sister to eat. As for the child, I was lucky just now, managed to get some formula milk, let’s feed the child first.

Then we’ll slowly figure out what to do next."

"Alright," Mrs. Xiao said, grateful, "Xiao Wen, thank you so much, if it weren’t for you..."

"Aunt, don’t say that, let’s hurry and go."

"Hmm, hmm, hmm."

Mrs. Xiao kept her gratitude in her heart.

At the state-run restaurant, Wen Ran took charge, ordered four bowls of shredded meat noodles.

Then ran to the back kitchen to ask pitifully, managed to get a bowl of warm water, mixed formula milk, and Xiao Chenyue held the baby, Mrs. Xiao fed spoon by spoon.

The child ate eagerly, mouthful after mouthful, if fed slowly she opened her little mouth crying, waiting.

Choked on milk, coughed twice, recovered and opened mouth again, afraid if she ate this mouthful there’d be none left after.

That pitiable state, not only relatives but even Wen Ran, a complete stranger, felt heartache seeing it.

Child fed full, noodles served.

Xiao Chenyue still very weak, let Mrs. Xiao hold her child, knelt wanting to kowtow to Wen Ran, Wen Ran jumped three feet high, startled.

Good heavens!

Really over the top, just a bit of formula milk.

Several hands pulled Xiao Chenyue up, "Don’t do that, it’s all for the child."

Xiao Chenyue was earnest, "Your great kindness, I will keep in heart."

"No need to say," Wen Ran comforted, "Let’s eat first."

"Alright."

Xiao Chenye ate quickly, few bites, a bowl of noodles cleaned up, "You eat slowly, I’ll go find a vehicle."

With many people, plus a postpartum mother, crowded in bustling ox carts, annoyed by chatter.

Adding others’ strange looks, just the thought suffocates Xiao Chenye.

"Chenye, be careful."

"Rest assured."

Less than half an hour, Xiao Chenye returned driving a donkey cart, "Let’s go!"

The donkey cart was laid with hay, and covered with two blankets, he carried Xiao Chenyue to the door, "Sister, slow down."

"Hmm."

The swaddled little girl was already fed and asleep, eyes closed, deep in slumber.

Xiao Chenyue was pained for a moment, then began to recount the messy events of recent times.

"Didn’t favor the daughter I gave birth to," Xiao Chenyue, already numb from hurt these days, "Truth be told, the Li family is truly ruthless, they even planned to suffocate the child while I slept deeply at night.

I couldn’t handle them alone, didn’t dare to break ties, planning to decide once you arrived."

Mrs. Xiao’s heart ached, "You foolish child, you could have had someone bring us a message."

Xiao Chenyue shook her head, "Couldn’t send it out, they were dead set on tormenting the child."

"Sister," Xiao Chenye said softly, "What do you plan to do?"

"What to do?"

Xiao Chenyue didn’t know either, anyway she didn’t want to return to the Li family, as for her family...

She wasn’t sure if returning like this would affect her brothers’ marriage prospects.
