This slap was extremely powerful. Not only was Zhaodi knocked to the ground, but even the corner of her mouth was also bleeding.

But even so, she still tightly hugged Chunsheng, whose face was ashen, and refused to let go.

Lee Guilan still felt unsatisfied. She pounced on Zhaodi again and tore her hair. Her other hand slapped Zhaodi’s face a few more times. Zhaodi’s face instantly turned red and swollen.

Seeing that Lee Guilan was about to hit her again, Zhaodi still held Chunsheng in her arms and did not let go.

Bai Wenjing vaguely remembered that Zhao had indeed accepted her marriage. She did not expect that she would be bullied by Lee Guilan to this extent.

At this moment, she could not stand it anymore. She stepped forward and said, “Mother, you have lost your grandson, but he is also sister-in-law’s favorite. Sister-in-law is also upset. There is nothing that can be done about it. After all, Chunsheng is gone.”

It was not appropriate for her to say anything else. Xue Bainian, who was hanging around her neck, was still howling. It seemed that he was frightened.

After she said this, Lee Guilan’s expression immediately changed. She was no longer as vicious as before, instead, she sobbed and said, “Youngest daughter-in-law, I know that too. But I’m feeling upset. Why is she so useless? She’s already lost her baby. Why is she still alive?

“Forget it, forget it. You should bring Bainian back quickly. I’m afraid my good grandson will be frightened. When we get back, I’ll whip him with willow branches to drive away the evil spirits and collect his soul. Nothing else can happen.”

After saying that, Lee Guilan wiped her tears with her sleeve. She turned her head and said fiercely to Xie Zhaodi, “You’re like a piece of shit. Why aren’t you going back? Chunsheng, my grandson…”

After she said that, she had already dragged Zhaodi towards the direction of the house.

Among the onlookers, the older one wiped his tears symbolically and sighed, “It’s a sin. Old Master Xue is so pitiful. He gave birth to three girls in a row and only got such a golden lump. But he’s gone. His life is tough.”

“Yes, yes…”

After the onlookers finished sighing, they looked at Bai Wenjing with unsatisfied eyes. Bai Wenjing knew that these people who loved to join in the fun and watch the gossip wanted to make fun of her, so she simply carried Xue Bainian home.

The children in the house were still hungry. If she did not get some food, it would not make sense.

Lee Guilan dragged Xie Zhaodi back. Xie Zhaodi sat on the ground with the dead child in her arms. She did not speak but only shed tears. Her hand touched the blue face again and again.

Seeing Xie Zhaodi’s bad luck, Lee Guilan was even angrier. At this moment, she went forward and pinched the flesh on Xie Zhaodi’s body, as she pinched it, she said fiercely, “You are a jinx. Tell me, what is the use of our son marrying you? Not only did he give birth to three losers, he even lost my good grandson…”

At the mention of Chunsheng, Lee Guilan could not help wiping her tears. Zhao’s tears rolled down. She did not even bother to tidy up her messy hair. Suddenly, she stood up from the ground and hugged the child in her arms. She wanted to walk into the room.

“What are you doing? Why are you carrying the dead child into the room?”

Zhao’s action gave Lee Guilan a fright. She quickly went forward and grabbed Zhao, Zhao mumbled, “Chunsheng is not dead. He is still alive. He is just asleep. The fortune-teller said that he is a child born in spring. He has a lazy personality. He is sleepy and needs to sleep for a while…”

Zhaodi did not care about Lee Guilan’s tugging. She shook off Lee Guilan’s hand and cried as she walked.

This was the child that she had given birth to. How could it be gone just like that?

Previously, her mother had given birth to four daughters in exchange for a son. It was not easy for her to give birth to Chunsheng and fight for her family. How could it be gone just like that?

“Slap!”

Lee Guilan grabbed Zhaodi Xie and gave her another slap. Then, she grabbed Zhaodi Xie’s hair and pushed her hard. Zhaodi Xie, who was holding Chunsheng, fell to the ground.

“Mother, I heard that our Chunsheng…”

Xue Qingshan had just heard the news. When he turned around, he saw his wife holding a small body. Immediately, his head buzzed.

“Son!”

Lee Guilan pounced in front of Xue Qingshan and wailed, “It’s all mother’s fault. Mother found such a useless wife for you. Not only did she give birth to those money-losing goods, but she also ruined your son with great difficulty! God has no eyes!”

Xue Qingshan looked at Zhaodi who was slumped on the ground. At this moment, he was extremely furious. He felt that her mother was right. It was this useless wife’s fault that caused him to lose his son.

Moreover, he was someone who did not like to speak. At this moment, he could only sigh heavily and say, “Bury him.”

Lee Guilan was filled with grievance. She pounced forward once again and gave a series of punches and kicks. As she punched and kicked, she howled, “You damned person. It’s all your fault… Chunsheng. You should compensate my good grandson. Why didn’t you die? You short-lived ghost…”

Zhaodi was like a wooden figure that had no reaction. She allowed Lee Guilan to hit and scold her. Who knew that Lee Guilan would get angrier and angrier the more she hit and scolded her. In the end, she snatched the hoe from Xue Qingshan’s hand and swung the hoe on Zhaodi’s head, Zhaodi’s eyes rolled and she fainted.

Seeing Zhaodi faint and the blood oozing out from her head, Lee Guilan instantly panicked. She hurried to the kitchen and grabbed a handful of powder to cover Zhaodi’s head. Only then did she stop the bleeding.

She wiped her tears and said, “Useless thing. Son, go find a hole and bury the baby. My good grandson…”

After saying that, Lee Guilan cried and went into the room, leaving Zhaodi, who was still unconscious with powder covered on her head, lying in the central room.

…

Xue Bainian cried all the way. When he reached home, he had not stopped crying. Even though his voice was hoarse from crying, he was still howling.

Bai Wenjing was helpless. She could only temporarily put Xue Bainian on the ground and boil water into two iron pots. One boiled some vegetable porridge, while the other boiled water to wash Xue Bainian.

Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, Xue Bainian and Xue Xiaohua were still nowhere to be seen. After placing the hard firewood in the pothole and half a Jin of refined rice that she had exchanged from the shopping mall into the pot, Bai Wenjing began to panic.

Something was definitely wrong. The two devilish children were not back yet. Could they have gone to harm someone else?

With this thought, Bai Wenjing’s heart started to beat wildly again.

However, there was still porridge in the pot. Xue Bainian was also a child who only knew how to howl apart from eating. She would not be at ease even if she went out to find someone to leave the child at home.

Just as she was at a loss, she heard the sound of knocking on the door outside. A voice shouted, “The Xue family’s wife, the Xue family’s wife!”

“Coming, coming.”

Bai Wenjing came back to her senses. As she walked, she asked, “Which one is knocking on the door?”

Who would have thought that with a casual glance, she would see that Xue Bainian had unknowingly moved a stool to the pot? At this moment, he stretched out his chubby hand to lift the lid of the pot. White smoke was rising from the side of the pot. It seemed that the water in the pot had already boiled.

Bai Wenjing’s heart was in her throat. The pot lid was made of wood. The stool that Xue Bonian was stepping on was swaying. If he was not careful, he would have fallen into the pot!

“Don’t move!”

Bai Wenjing shouted loudly. At the same time, a familiar voice sounded, [System notification, you have a new mission, ‘brat, don’t court death’. The duration of the mission is three days. Details: Make Xue Bainian behave within three days. Countdown begins..]
