Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 326 - 14: Famine Years Without Famine (14)

Chapter 326: Chapter 14: Famine Years Without Famine (14)

Zhao Jing privately stirred the pot: "Second Aunt, I fear that Daya resents me deeply now, but as her mother, how can she treat you like this? She’s still young now, but what will happen when she’s older."

Various rambling.

Li Chunhua grew increasingly resentful towards Li Shuning.

Li Rengui always thought that Li Chunhua could figure things out by herself, but now she was clearly escalating the tensions with Daya.

During New Year’s, causing such unhappiness, it really is worrisome.

As the New Year approached, that night, Li Rengui and Li Chunhua lay on the bed, and he couldn’t help but talk to her.

"Chunhua, what on earth are you thinking? Daya is your daughter. Do you really think Zhao Jing’s words are correct? That your daughter is the one spouting nonsense?"

Li Chunhua had been feeling stifled lately, her husband didn’t understand her, her daughter was sulking, and her in-laws looked at her with cold eyes; she had never experienced such things.

Fortunately, her husband finally talked to her.

"Rengui, I know I’m a bit slow, but it’s not as if I don’t protect our daughter. She’s only a few years old, and she’s already so temperamental—what will happen when she’s grown up? Women are meant to get married, and if she’s that temperamental in her husband’s family, in the end, only Daya will suffer."

"Jing’er is about the same age as Shuning; they are playmates. I don’t believe Jing’er is so malicious as to deliberately try to harm Daya. Since she has apologized, why won’t Daya let it go? Does she have to tear the family apart to be satisfied?"

Li Rengui was so angry that his liver hurt. In Li Chunhua’s eyes, all the turmoil in the family was Daya’s fault. He no longer knew how to describe Li Chunhua; perhaps her life was too comfortable, hence her behavior?

Li Rengui took a deep breath to calm himself; he didn’t want his wife to be making mistake after mistake after being married for so many years.

"So in your heart, Zhao Jing doesn’t have a malicious heart, while your daughter does? Intentionally smearing Zhao Jing?"

Li Chunhua froze for a moment, then thought and said, "It’s not like that. Maybe it’s because Daya is so temperamental that she says those things."

"Ultimately, it’s still you not trusting your own daughter, who was almost killed, so why can’t you act on your feelings? Even if she gets married, must she endure it all? Have you endured it all in our family?"

Li Chunhua found it hard to handle, but in the Li Family, she was indeed living well; her in-laws treated her well and never made things difficult for her.

"No, I didn’t mean that."

"You lived well in your husband’s family, so why shouldn’t your daughter be treated more freely?"

"Chunhua, do you remember what happened back with Li Donghua?"

Li Chunhua paused, nodded.

"Then do you remember what your daughter and I told you back then? Your elder sister was not sincere; she almost brazenly tried to seduce me. But you kept treating her as a good sister. If I weren’t firm-minded or Daya hadn’t reminded you, I would have divorced you and married your sister. If your sister apologized and said ’sorry’, that she didn’t do it on purpose, would you forgive her?"

Li Chunhua was stunned, then panickedly said, "But you’re not that kind of person?"

Li Rengui sneered, "Indeed, I’m not that kind of person, so you took it for granted? Zhao Jing pushed Daya, wanting to end her life, so why should Daya forgive Zhao Jing? If Daya died, Zhao Jing, your niece, would be the family’s only girl, just like how Li Donghua replaced you. Why do you think Daya should naturally give way to Zhao Jing? Why didn’t you let Li Donghua replace you back then?"

"But Jing’er didn’t do it on purpose."

"So you believe your daughter is lying?"

"Maybe Daya spoke out of anger."

The conversation always came back to this statement.

Li Rengui’s eyes were full of disappointment: "What about Li Meng? Li Meng hasn’t conspired with Daya."

"Who knows what that girl thinks? Maybe she’s jealous that Jing’er spends time with Daya and thus spouts nonsense."

"Enough, think whatever you want, just don’t regret it in the future."

After saying that, Li Rengui directly got out of bed, took a quilt from the cupboard.

The room on the right side housed Zhao Jing, and he pulled Li Chunhua up, stuffing the quilt into her arms.

"Since you trust Zhao Jing more, even more so than your own daughter, go live with Zhao Jing."

Li Chunhua was truly panicked: "Rengui, that’s not what I meant. I just wish for harmony in the family. Jing’er is also a pitiable person."

"Being pitiable doesn’t mean she can harm Daya. Go ahead or I’ll sleep at my parents’ place."

Li Chunhua didn’t understand where she went wrong, but if Li Rengui went to his parents’, it would be even worse.

Don’t do unto others what you don’t want done to yourself.

Li Chunhua was beyond help.

Ultimately, Li Chunhua moved to the right-side room.

A few days later, Li Rengui even packed up Li Chunhua’s belongings and moved them all over.

The room on the right had a kitchen; they could do whatever they wanted there, but if they dared harm Daya again, he guaranteed that Zhao Jing would be sent back to where she came from.

Zhao Jing was a bit stunned; her uncle actually acted so decisively.

This New Year was not a good one for the Li Rengui family.

Good many people in the village gossiped, saying Li Chunhua was self-destructive; her husband’s family treated her so well yet she sided with her niece over her daughter.

The niece almost killed her daughter, yet she still protected the niece.

After New Year, it was time to start school, and Li Chunhua still had a lot of money, enough to cover education expenses. Zhao Jing continued going to school.

But at school, people avoided her, isolating her.

Someone who could harm her own cousin, who knows if she would do the same to others?

Had it not been for Li Shuning’s family, Zhao Jing wouldn’t have been able to attend school; everyone in Li Family Village knew of Wang Cuicun’s family’s situation.

In short, many parents warned their children to stay away from Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing felt miserable, but she had managed to win over her second aunt.

Hmph, surely, Li Shuning must be finished, or else her days would just get harder.

Some people’s hearts are twisted; they take goodness for granted but love to place blame on others when things aren’t smooth.

When she hadn’t done anything before, had the Li Family ever treated her poorly?

Life went on like this; Li Chunhua had no income, just farming, and she couldn’t sell the produce, so it was only expenses with no income, and the money would only decrease, though expenses were low in such times, and the family had food, and the tuition was cheap.

Li Chunhua was surprised that her son hadn’t sent money over yet.

In May, Li Shujie returned home.

After another round of talks, Li Shujie was also helpless to see his mother becoming increasingly resentful towards his sister, blaming everything on Li Shuning.

Li Shujie wanted to clear his mother’s mind and take her to the army, but Li Chunhua refused, fearing it would make life difficult for Zhao Jing if she left.

Life is something one has to experience themselves, and since his mother wanted it this way, he couldn’t help it; he didn’t think his sister was at fault.

If things go on like this, his mother and sister will likely grow more distant, with Zhao Jing being the chief culprit. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Li Shujie bluntly suggested that his mother send Zhao Jing back to her grandmother’s, only to be fiercely rebuked by Li Chunhua.

She accused Li Shujie of being heartless, asking why he would send Zhao Jing back to the grandmother who tormented her, to be sent to her death.
