Chapter 495 The Poor Little One in the Farming Story——Kong Xiaojuan9
When Kong Hongmei returned home, her mother-in-law didn't immediately blame her. Instead, she asked about her health: "Are you feeling better? Are you still feeling a little uncomfortable?"
……
Although she was unwilling, Kong Hongmei couldn't say some things. She had already said that she was busy at home and had children to take care of.
The family needed to eat and drink, so she couldn't leave. She couldn't be aggressive and had to suffer the loss in silence.
Seeing her smiling like a chrysanthemum, Yao Dagang said with a smile: "Wife, you are back. Are you feeling better? I was thinking of visiting you after finishing my work in the fields, and here you are."
"You!" Kong Hongmei laughed and punched Yao Dagang, complaining, "I thought you didn't care about me anymore!"
"What are you talking about? How could I not care about you? You are my wife, not someone else's. Of course I want to take care of you as soon as possible, but I am too busy at home and I have no choice. Please be more understanding."
Pleasant words touched the heart. Kong Hongmei felt very comfortable listening to them and didn't say anything else.
When it was time to eat, Yao Mancang looked at Kong Hongmei and said, "Tomorrow is the day your niece is getting married. You must tell your mother that there won't be any trouble."
"Dad, don't worry. I've discussed this with Mom and she'll help us."
"That's good!"
Although Yao Mancang and his wife said that it was fine, their eyes were full of disdain.
In their opinion, they should be careful of someone who can even betray her niece, because maybe one day they and their husband will fall into her hands.
They completely forgot how happy they were when they first found out.
After dinner, Kong Hongmei took the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.
Yao Mancang looked at his son and said, "Your daughter-in-law is very vicious. You must be careful of her, so as not to fall into her clutches again."
"Don't worry, Dad and Mom, I know."
"It's good that you know. He can even push his own niece into that fire pit." Mrs. Yao muttered dissatisfiedly.
At this time, Kong Hongmei didn't know what the three people were talking about. She was happily thinking in the kitchen about what she would buy with the money.
She buys the man a bottle of soda he wants to drink, buys something for the child, and buys something for herself. She also buys whatever her parents-in-law want to eat, since she has money now.
But she didn't know that people were already discussing how to guard against her and prevent them from attacking others.
Marriages in this era are not held with great fanfare, especially in a case like the Qiao family's, where the ceremony would not be held in a grand manner.
On the tenth day of March, the other brothers of the Qiao family pulled carts to the Yao family and discussed when to set off.
Yao Hongmei looked at the group of people and said, "You are all strangers. How about I bring her here and you can take her back?"
Those people thought that if they went to another village to snatch a child, they would be powerless if the villagers resisted, so they nodded and agreed to Kong Hongmei's proposal.
But he was also wary of her in his heart, thinking she was too cruel.
……
In the morning, Mrs. Kong specially beat two eggs, cooked two poached eggs, and personally brought them to Xihe.
"Xiaojuan, grandma was wrong before, and I admit it to you. Grandma has just realized that you are the only one in the family who is truly kind to me and your grandfather."
"Now, grandma is going to apologize to you. Here are the fried eggs I just made. Would you like to eat them?"
"I also put sugar water in this bowl for you, drink it too, don't waste it."
Xihe did not pick up the chopsticks to taste it, but looked at Mrs. Kong with a smile.
She was horrified by what she saw, and felt that everything she did had been seen through.
"Mom, have you eaten? I'm here." Just when Mrs. Kong was at a loss, she heard her daughter's voice and hurriedly walked out the door.
"Hongmei, you're here?" Mrs. Kong ran out of the house immediately after hearing her daughter's voice. She pulled Kong Hongmei aside and whispered, "Wait a moment, wait a moment, she'll be eating soon..."
"Mom, what did you do to her?" Kong Hongmei asked curiously.
"I drugged her so she could sleep and be fine in a while, to prevent her from causing any trouble and letting the villagers know."
"I understand, mother. Does this medicine work quickly?"
"Soon, she will fall down in a moment."
"Okay, let's speak softly so she can't hear us..." Kong Hongmei whispered beside Mrs. Kong's ear.
"Ok, I know."
Old man Kong sat under the eaves holding a rope, smoking his pipe without saying a word. In his heart, if he could send his granddaughter away sooner, he and his wife would be free sooner.
As for how she will live in the future, it has nothing to do with their family. Once a daughter is married, she is like water spilled. What's more, they are of different generations, so they don't care whether she lives or dies.
They were afraid that what they were about to do would be seen by others, so the gate was locked the moment Kong Hongmei entered the house.
Xihe flashed out the door with a bowl in his hand. The moment Kong Hongmei and the others opened their mouths to speak, Xihe came to Kong Hongmei, pinched her neck, and poured the steaming bowl of fried eggs directly into her mouth.
"what……"
Kong Hongmei screamed immediately, she felt like her throat was burned.
"What are you doing? Let go of your aunt quickly..." Mrs. Kong was frightened, but then she reacted and immediately pulled Xihe.
Xihe grabbed her neck and threw her against a tree in the yard, knocking her unconscious.
Old man Kong, who was originally smoking his pipe leisurely, immediately stood up when he saw this scene and prepared to whip Xihe with the rope in his hand.
Xihe pulled the rope hard and it fell into her hand. She swung the rope with her backhand and tied up Old Man Kong tightly.
Then she threw him hard onto Mrs. Kong, who also fainted.
At this time, Kong Hongmei, who was still coughing desperately, was also frightened by this sudden scene.
Previously, her parents said that her niece was very crazy, and she thought it was an exaggeration. She didn't expect that she would really become so crazy.
Now that I see that she has such great abilities, can I still be okay today?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly began to beg for mercy, but her throat was sore that she couldn't speak, so she could only bow desperately.
Xi He pinched her cheek and said in a cold voice: "Kong Hongmei, we have no grudges against each other, why did you sell me to that cripple?"
"You..." Kong Hongmei was shocked when she heard this. How could she know this?
"You are also a woman, and an elder, but is what you are doing a human thing?"
Kong Hongmei was speechless and unable to move, so she could only blink desperately, hoping that Xihe would let her go.
Suddenly Xihe's hand loosened and she fell limply to the ground.
