Chapter 409: Scarred
Li House.
When Shen Li'er heard that Shen Ruxiu was coming, she hurriedly asked Mama Yao to greet her outside the door.
Although she didn't know how to face the strangeness that happened to her second sister, since Li Ji died, she no longer cared about it.
She has nothing to rely on, only two sisters. It's just that because she was immersed in the pain of losing Li Ji and pulling her son, who was less than a year old, she was exhausted, so she didn't go to the Wang family to find her second sister for a long time.
Since the second sister came to the door in person today, of course she was happy.
Her reaction surprised Shen Ruxiu.
Originally, Shen Ruxiu came with a somewhat apprehensive mood. On the way, she was still worried, afraid that Shen Li'er would not want to see her and would turn her away.
When she saw Mama Yao come out in person and greet her with a smile, she couldn't help but take a bigger step into the door.
Li Mansion no longer has the grandeur and prosperity of the former as the founding county government. She walked and watched all the way, and couldn't wait to see Shen Li'er ask her in person, and asked Mama Yao, who was leading the way, "Sister Li'er, how are you doing?" ”
Mama Yao turned around, a hint of sadness on her face. She moved her lips, stopped talking, and raised her eyes to look at Shen Ruxiu, then lowered her eyebrows, but sighed lightly, "Without the love of your husband, no matter how good it is, how good can it be?" ”
Her age-stained eyes stared at the untended garden beside the roadside, full of hollowness, as lifeless as this house.
When Shen Ruxiu heard this, she couldn't help but have a sour nose and felt sorry for Shen Li'er.
"Let's go! Take me to see Li'er. She urged, taking the lead in moving forward.
But when she came to the courtyard of Luoxia Garden, where Shen Li'er lived, Shen Ruxiu heard the cries of children and the scolding of adults, as well as the dissuasion of slaves.
Probably because Shen Li'er thought that the child was crying too fiercely, she didn't control her temper, and beat and scolded the child who was less than a year old, and she lost her patience as a mother.
Mama Yao's footsteps were fast, and Shen Ruxiu also followed, and after entering, she saw that such a young child was not walking steadily, so she was punished by Shen Li'er to stand on the ground and beat her legs with rattan!
Seeing this, Mama Yao hurriedly protected the child with her body, crying and begging Shen Lian'er to calm her anger, and let the rattan whip on her body one by one.
"Mercy!" Shen Ruxiu stepped forward with a loud shout and grabbed Shen Li'er's thin wrist.
She wanted to lecture her again, but she didn't know how to say that she had taught her a lesson, and that she had seen the gaze when she looked at her, and the sunken eye sockets, and her face as thin as an awl.
After not seeing each other for a long time, she didn't know that the original tender sister of Li'er had now become this appearance of no one or ghost.
Shen Li'er dropped the rattan in her hand, and hurriedly smiled at Shen Ruxiu with some embarrassment: "If the child is disobedient, he should be beaten." ”
Shen Ruxiu came back to her senses, motioned to Mama Yao to take the child away, and then said: "But Qiu'er, he's still too young, what do you know?" Why do you have such a big temper? ”
"My sister has never given birth to a child, so naturally she doesn't know how to raise a child." Shen Li'er said and grabbed Shen Ruxiu's arm, took her to sit down on the soft couch, poured tea for her, and changed her head, "I haven't seen my sister for a long time, it's been almost a year, right?" ”
Shen Ruxiu no longer thinks about the child, but just chats with Shen Li'er about her recent life.
Shen Li'er mentioned more than once before and after, "Qiu'er, this kid is so unconscious, he cries day and night, causing me to not sleep peacefully for many nights." ”
"Kids, there's always some." Shen Ruxiu persuaded, "Isn't there a nursing mother?" Why do you have to do everything yourself? ”
"I'm not at ease when I hand it over to the nurse." Shen Li'er said, "I have to personally raise him since he was a child, so that he knows what kind of person he should become, what he should do, and who he should seek revenge with when he grows up in the future." ”
She paused, and her eyes suddenly overflowed with a little pride, "In order to let him know who his enemy is, every time I beat him, I will tell him that it is not that I want to beat him, but that his enemy Shen Aman forced me to beat him." Sister, you say, when he grows up, will he not hold a grudge against Shen Aman, and will he not seek revenge against her? ”
Hearing her words, Shen Ruxiu couldn't help but be stunned when she saw her bloodthirsty expression towards the enemy and cold to the child when she said this.
"Li'er......" She opened her mouth to ask if she had gone mad, but she closed her mouth again and did not say anything.
In addition to persuading her to relax, not to put too much pressure on her children and herself, she didn't know how to say it. She was afraid that she would talk too much, and Shen Li'er would not listen to it, but she would dislike it.
Seeing Shen Li'er's situation, she didn't want to tell her that Shen Liancheng was pregnant, lest this matter stimulate her again and let her vent her anger on her child.
This child, reincarnated as her child, is really pitiful.
Thinking of this, she stood up and said, "I'll go see Qiu'er." ”
"Go ahead!" Shen Li'er didn't get up, "I won't go, I'm still angry with him." ”
Shen Ruxiu smiled and nodded, suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking: "Qiu Er's name, wasn't it changed by Shen Aman?" Why do you call him revenge? ”
"I've been calling him Qiu'er, what's the fear?" Shen Li'er gritted her teeth, remembering that her son's name on the household post was Li Xuaning, and she still felt angry.
Shen Ruxiu didn't say much, and went straight to the direction of the backyard.
In the backyard, Mama Yao and the nursing mother are applying ointment to the child's wound. The two of them wept while applying the medicine, and they were still whispering in their mouths about Shen Li'er's ruthlessness as a mother.
The nurse even said: "If you go on like this, I'm afraid that I can't wait to grow up, and I will be beaten to death by Mrs. Pian......"
Shen Ruxiu "coughed", and both of them knelt on the ground in horror.
Only then did Shen Ruxiu find that Qiu'er's feet and stomachs were full of criss-crossing scars drawn from rattans, which was very shocking. She couldn't help frowning and walked over, and she couldn't bear it in her heart.
"Do you often beat children like this?" She looked at Mama Yao and asked.
Mama Yao wiped away her tears and replied in a low voice: "I will beat it almost every two days, and sometimes I cry so much that I can beat it two or three times." ”
Shen Ruxiu couldn't help but gasp when she heard this.
It's hatred that makes Shen Li'er a mother and not a mother.
"Second lady!" Mama Yao suddenly hugged Shen Ruxiu's legs and feet, and begged in a low voice, "Will you take the little boy away?" Little boy he ...... It's so pathetic! ”
Shen Ruxiu was startled, but there was a flash of lightning in her mind, and she suddenly had an idea to deal with Shen Liancheng.
Originally, seeing that Shen Li'er's condition was so bad, Shen Ruxiu didn't want to involve her. But since her child was raised so unfortunate by her, she couldn't tolerate Shen Ruxiu not doing "good deeds".
