Chapter 294 How could she bear to let him lose the bet?
Originally, Lin Wanshu had no intention of intervening in Liu Xiuying's affairs, but at this moment, she couldn't stand it anymore.
But before she could open her mouth, she heard Liu Xiuying smile coldly.
"What you call not despising me is asking me to give birth to the baby in my belly and give it away? And asking me to abandon my mother-in-law and two children to take care of a lazy guy with nothing in his house?"
After hearing this, the crowd who were still trying to persuade them suddenly fell silent.
Everyone's face turned red.
"That...that...is not the way to say it. A man will become more diligent after getting married. Then you can ask him to help your mother-in-law and two children. Wouldn't it be better than the hard work you are doing now?"
After coming to their senses, everyone began to persuade them earnestly.
"That's right. What man is not like this before getting married? After marrying a wife, he can tidy up his appearance a bit and become clean."
Hearing this, Liu Xiuying felt even more ironic.
"Tsk! I, a pregnant woman, can earn eight work points a day, and he, a man with healthy hands and feet, can only earn six work points a day. You want me to marry him and take care of his household? Am I crazy or are you crazy?"
These words once again left everyone speechless.
Liu Xiuying did not give them time to react. She stared at everyone coldly and continued, "My husband was washed away by the mudslide in order to save Xiao Gu and me, and you want me to abandon my mother-in-law and children and marry someone else? I'm sorry, I can't do such a heartless thing! Even if I die of exhaustion in this life, I want to die in the Chen family! If anyone says those nonsense words again in the future, I will go to his house and drink pesticide!"
That resolute look shocked everyone on the spot.
All people knew was that Chen Linguang was washed away by the mudslide.
But no one knows exactly how it was washed away.
Now they heard that he died trying to save his wife and daughter, and they were extremely shocked.
Suddenly, the whole melon shed was silent and no one dared to speak out to persuade them anymore.
How to persuade? The man died to save her and her daughter.
Put yourself in their shoes. If they were in their shoes, how could they do such a heartless thing as abandoning someone else's old mother?
For a moment, the people who had just persuaded her to remarry felt a burning sensation on their faces and were ashamed.
"I'm...I'm sorry, Xiuying, I will never say something like that again."
One auntie had red eyes and her voice was full of annoyance.
"Xiuying, if you want to stay at the Chen family, then stay. If you need any help in the future, just call me aunt."
The couple are both affectionate and righteous, and they are not heartless. How could they not be moved?
Liu Xiuying said nothing.
It is easy to say the word "forgiveness", but she can't get over it in her heart.
When the mudslide occurred, Lin Guang was clearly in a safe area.
But he still rushed back resolutely to save his Xiao Gu.
Liu Xiuying will never forget the scene in which he used his last bit of strength to throw her and the child onto the shore, while he himself was swallowed up by the mudslide.
That stupid man!
He even lost his life for her, how could she bear to let him lose the bet?
Liu Xiuying didn't say anything, and the melon shed fell into a strange silence again.
I don't know if it was to cover up the embarrassment, but someone laughed and said, "It's been so long, why hasn't it rained yet?"
When talking about the rain, everyone immediately stopped caring about Liu Xiuying.
Many of them immediately ran out of the melon shed.
But what I saw was that the dark clouds that had just covered the sky were slowly dispersing!
"The dark clouds have been blown away again!"
Someone shouted, and everyone in the melon shed rushed out.
I saw that the sky, which was covered with dark clouds just now, was gradually clearing up.
Someone immediately started cursing!
"You thief God, do you think it's fun to play tricks on us? Believe it or not, I will use a cannon to blow you up!"
The faces of the others also looked very ugly.
It's been three days in a row, and every time the noise is so loud, but it turns out it's all a lie!
It was a noisy scene outside, but in the melon shed, Liu Xiuying was in a very low mood.
With his empty eyes, he stared blankly at the distant sky, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Xiao Gu tightly held his mother's hand, his little face full of panic and fear.
"Mom, don't leave Xiaogu behind. Xiaogu is scared!"
Her father is gone, and she only has her mother, grandmother and sister.
Grandma can’t see anymore and my sister is still so young.
Hearing this, Liu Xiuying seemed to finally come to his senses.
The corners of her lips twitched, and she raised her hand and touched Xiao Gu's head.
"Silly boy, why would your mother abandon you?"
Even if she had to beg for food, she would still raise them.
This is the blood he left for her!
Hearing this, Xiao Gu felt relieved.
But that little hand always held its mother's hand tightly.
It was as if he was afraid that if he let go, she would disappear.
Liu Xiuying felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Just when he was about to comfort his eldest daughter again, he heard a concerned voice coming from the side.
"Mother Xiaogu, I heard that your mother-in-law is blind. Do you need me to take care of you?"
Hearing this, Liu Xiuying raised her head.
Following the sound, I saw the female comrade who was going to give Xiao Gu milk candy that day.
"Is it you? Comrade, I'm sorry for losing my composure that day."
People mean well, but you have that attitude.
In fact, after saying that, Liu Xiuying felt extremely upset.
She wanted to apologize to her several times, but she didn't know how to start.
Now that she finally had the chance to talk to her, Liu Xiuying expressed the apology that had been in her heart for many days.
Lin Wanshu shook her head and said, "I was a little abrupt. I should be the one to apologize."
Considering that her husband died trying to save them, Lin Wanshu could easily guess that this candy must have some special meaning to the mother and daughter.
Seeing that she didn't care about it, Liu Xiuying felt even more guilty.
"No, no, no, it's my fault! I'm sorry!"
Seeing that the apology would never end, Lin Wanshu quickly changed the subject.
Hearing her asking about her mother-in-law's eyes again, Liu Xiuying's expression became a little gloomy.
"Thank you for your concern, comrade. My mother-in-law suddenly lost her sight after being injured in a mudslide. I took her to the county hospital for treatment. The doctor prescribed some medicine, but she just couldn't get better."
After so long, Liu Xiuying has become desperate.
Hearing this, Lin Wanshu did not back down.
If it had happened before, she might not have gotten involved in Liu Xiuying's family affairs.
But after learning about her experience, Lin Wanshu couldn't help but want to help her.
"To be honest, I'm working at Wen City Military Hospital now, and I have some experience in treating illnesses. If you need help, I can help you take a look."
Hearing this, Liu Xiuying's eyes felt a little hot.
After the man left, she had become accustomed to the fickleness of human nature, and no one had ever wanted to help her as sincerely as she did.
"Well... then I'll trouble you, comrade."
Liu Xiuying couldn't refuse such help.
What if she really has a solution?
If my mother-in-law's eyes could be cured, she wouldn't have to work so hard.
At least there's someone to look after the child.
After the two of them finished talking, they set off to return to the team.
As soon as we walked out of the melon shed, Fang Qiuyan and Sha Guoqiang also came down the mountain.
When they heard that Lin Wanshu was going to the brigade to treat patients, they decided to accompany her without saying a word.
