Chapter 307 The Cruel Truth
In the east room, the injured woman also drank medicine and lay on the soft bedding, drowsy.
Doctor Zhang checked her pulse and finally relaxed her brows. He then asked the old lady to look under the quilt. Sure enough, the woman was no longer bleeding.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, the child has been saved, but he will have to stay in bed for a month to recuperate, and the medicine must not be stopped. The food and drink should not cause cold and fishy smell. I will check the pulse every day and adjust the medicine prescription at any time."
The old lady and Tao Hongying both smiled.
“Great, it was really scary just now, but I finally managed to survive.”
“Yes, this is also a blessed child. I don’t want my mother to be sad.”
The woman didn't know if she heard it, but she finally fell asleep with peace of mind and let go of Tao Hongying's hand.
Tao Hongying hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook.
This couple is so seriously injured, so they need to eat well and replenish their bodies.
Mr. Yan walked out with support. He wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Dr. Zhang, but Dr. Zhang helped him up. "Wait until you are well before you kowtow. Be careful that the wound bleeds again, which will waste my medicine."
Everyone laughed, and Li Laoer sent the old man off.
Mr. Yan shamelessly moved to the east room and lay down next to the woman. It was obvious that he could rest assured by guarding his wife and children like this.
The Li family didn't stop her either. Mrs. Li saw her granddaughter poking her head at the door, taking a look at the house to clean up, and then she waved to her granddaughter and held her in her arms.
Mr. Yan shook Jiayin's chubby hand and asked, "Is this Fu Niu? She has grown up so much. When I was in the valley, she still couldn't walk. She sat in the shack and played every day."
“Yes, more than a year has passed in a flash. Mr. Yan, where have you been for more than a year?” The old lady sighed, “Isn’t your family’s life very good? Why are you still like this!”
Mr. Yan's eyes flashed with fierceness and hatred, and he cursed in a low voice, "That's not my home, it's a **** cave!"
Since he came to the Li family, he had no intention of hiding anything, so he told the story from beginning to end.
Everyone was sighing after hearing this. They really didn’t know how to say that the Yan family was well.
It turns out that after the construction of the valley was completed, Mr. Yan returned home and wanted to invite his family to visit Suijintan.
No matter how the construction here is, it is always his hard work, which is enough to prove his talent.
It's a pity that the Yan family didn't pay attention at all, they just urged him to take the exam and make sure that he became an official!
They even arranged a marriage for him to marry a arrogant woman who was well-known among relatives and friends, just because this woman's family could provide some help to the Yan family.
Mr. Yan was so disgusted that he even went on a hunger strike and hit the wall. In the end, his mother relented and sent him to the next state capital.
There is a mine where prisoners were exiled, and some houses and work areas need to be built. The person in charge is Mr. Zhou, Mr. Yan’s brother-in-law.
Mr. Yan felt very at home there, and when he was busy he forgot about the troubles at home.
But also during this period, he met the woman he loved, called Huiniang, the daughter of a prison officer who was assigned to the mines.
In fact, Huiniang's family was not distributed along with her father, but her family property was confiscated and she became a commoner.
It's just that Huiniang was filial and couldn't bear her sick father to suffer alone in the mine.
She followed him and rented a house under the mine. She took on some daily chores, such as washing clothes and mending. After earning money, she took care of her father's food and clothing.
The people nearby were very touched and took good care of her and never bullied her.
Mr. Yan also settled in this farmhouse, so you can't avoid running into him when you go in or out. Mr. Yan did not bring any servants with him, so he asked Madam Hui for help with laundry, sewing, and even cooking, and she gave her more money.
Young men and women, if they get along for a long time, they will develop feelings for each other...
Years ago, Mr. Yan wanted to take Huiniang home, but his family would not allow it.
In a fit of anger, he invited his familiar neighbors and colleagues to a banquet, which was regarded as a witness for them to become husband and wife.
The days went on like this. Huiniang also found out that she was pregnant a few days ago. When the two young couples were happily preparing to welcome their new life, the Yan family sent someone to invite Mr. Yan to go back and get married.
It is said that the eight characters are combined and the betrothal gift has been given. It is time to wait for Mr. Yan to go back to greet the bride.
Mr. Yan naively thought that Huiniang was pregnant and that as long as he knelt in front of his parents, he could make them change their minds.
So he took Huiniang home with great fanfare.
As a result, what awaited him was a severe beating, and Huiniang was pinned to the ground by the maid and mother-in-law and she was given abortion pills.
Fortunately, Master Zhou and his wife arrived and helped to stop him, and then he took Huiniang and rushed out in the carriage with all his strength.
At that time, he could only think of Broken Gold Beach. It was the only place where he made friends based on his own ability, and it was also the first place in the world where he gained recognition and a sense of accomplishment...
“You kid is so... courageous!”
The old lady searched for an adjective for a long time, and only found these two words.
This matter, of course, the Yan family is wrong.
Even biological parents should not impose their wishes on their children.
Moreover, Mr. Yan is obviously different from those well-behaved children. He is talented and rebellious. He is a typical donkey who refuses to be led away and is a regressive type.
The family should provide more guidance and encouragement, and wait until he gets older and has more experience, and the person will become mature and stable.
But obviously, the Yan family does not have this patience, or is unwilling to pay this patience and love to their child. They just want to fix him into what the family needs and put him in a suitable position to shine for the family.
Mr. Yan is also too naive. He knows that his parents regard him as a tool for exchanging family interests, but he still thinks that he can blackmail his parents and live according to his wishes.
Now, his naive illusions have been shattered, and he can finally see the cruel truth of the matter...
Old Mrs. Li's irritation made Mr. Yan shed tears.
"Auntie, I thought... I thought they were my parents. More than anything else, my son is always the most important in their hearts."
“But no, they are not! They never care whether I like it or not. They have been forcing me to study and marry women I don’t like. They only have family in their hearts!
"For the sake of the family, they never cared about how much hardship I suffered outside, so forget it, but now they can even kill their own grandchildren. I never thought it would be like this!"
He grabbed the old lady's hand and choked with tears, "Auntie, do you think I'm wrong? I just want to live according to my own wishes, I don't want to study hard, and I don't want to marry a woman I've never met before. Am I wrong? ?”
The old lady felt distressed and patted his back gently, comforting him, "It's all over, and he will get better soon. Don't cry, you see Huiniang and the child have been saved, and you only have flesh wounds. It’ll be alive and kicking in half a month, and we’ll figure it out when the time comes.”
Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si also followed suit.
"Yes, you are familiar with the people in our village. Live in peace and take good care of yourself."
Mr. Yan nodded, wiped his tears, and said, "Auntie, I am penniless. I was living in your house just to eat and drink, but now I am here again with my wife and children."
The old lady laughed when she heard this, "You have built Broken Gold Beach so well, and our family and the villagers are grateful. Although we were paid wages, everyone was poor at that time and the wages were not much. Now you are a family of three. If you come here for a short stay, just treat it like everyone is giving you extra wages, so live in peace and don’t think too much!”
