Chapter 157: Save Yourself

Duran woke up the next morning.

The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to look for her daughter. Seeing the little girl sleeping in the empty bed next to her, her heart finally settled down.

"This is the hospital." She murmured, it seemed that she had found her little sister.

Duran struggled to get up, and as soon as she turned over, she felt a piercing pain in her head. Her head was spinning and she almost collapsed.

At this time, the door of the ward opened and Du Juan and Shang Xiaojun came in.

"Sister, do you want to go to the bathroom?"

Du Juan walked up to her and supported her.

Duran shook his head and grabbed Du Juan's arm with his backhand, "Thank you, little sister."

Du Juan: "Sister, don't talk about this. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your health. The doctor said that you need to stay in bed and rest."

Duran's head was broken. This kind of thing can be a big deal or a small one. The most important thing is to stay in bed and rest well to avoid any sequelae.

Duran lay back down.

At this moment, Lixia in the next bed woke up. Seeing Duran wake up, she immediately got out of bed and lay down beside her bed.

Duran reached out and ruffled his daughter's hair.

Du Juan said, "I wanted to take her home last night, but I was worried about her and insisted on staying with you."

Du Juan took out a lunch box and a porcelain cup, which contained steamed dumplings and tofu pudding. They were the breakfast she brought specially for Lixia.

Duran can't eat yet. The doctor said she would vomit. She needs to get nutritional injections for a day and then recover before she can eat.

After arranging for Lixia to sit at the small table to eat, a nurse came in and gave Duran an IV drip.

At this time, Duran slowly explained the reason why he was beaten this time.

It all comes down to those people being too greedy.

Duran's village is quite far from the county town, and her husband seldom accompanies her back to her parents' home in recent years, so the people there are not very clear about the affairs of the three Duran sisters.

Some people there also knew about what Du Juan reported for the first time, but it did not cause any sensation.

After all, he is not from my village and I don’t know him at all. I can just treat it as news.

At that time, only a few people who could read and read newspapers knew about this matter.

That day, Xiang Shanhua ran to find Du Lan to inquire about Du Juan's situation, but she didn't mention it because she was afraid that Du Lan's shameless mother-in-law would cause trouble.

Later, when Duran returned from the city, he kept his mouth shut even more.

Duran has a very successful sister who does business in the city and even made it to the newspapers. This was revealed when Cheng Yi went to interview her.

At that time, knowing that his family was entangled with Du Juan and was reported in the newspapers, Du Lan didn't care about anything else. He invited Cheng Yi to the courtyard and wrote a statement.

At that time, all the people in the Zeng family were watching from the side. They didn't say a word the whole time, and no one raised any objection.

But Duran knew that they would not let it go like this.

Sure enough, after Cheng Yi left, the old woman of the Zeng family went into the kitchen herself, steamed a few eggs, fried a dish of bacon, called Du Lan and Lixia to the table, and served some food to the mother and daughter.

Mrs. Zeng asked with a smile: "Xiao Lan, you are so protective of your little sister, you two must have a very good relationship, right?"

Duran passed the meat in his bowl to his daughter, urging her to eat quickly. He also ate eggs and greasy vegetables. He shook his head and said, "No, when she was little, I often forced her to work with me. I either beat her or scolded her. We didn't have a good relationship at all."

The smile on Mrs. Zeng's face fell. She looked at Duran who was busy eating and said, "But you were speaking for her just now?"

Duran smiled, "Mom, it's because I treated her badly when she was little that I feel guilty now and speak up for her. Didn't I tell that reporter that because she's slow and not very smart, no one in the family likes her. Although I didn't mention my name, it also includes me. I was just too embarrassed to say it at the time.

Mom, you don’t know that my younger sister has already severed ties with our family, so my parents asked someone to report her. To put it bluntly, they just wanted to get some benefits from her.

But you saw it during the day. My little sister is not stupid. She is smart and has already started to resist. The man she married is capable and knows how to handle these things. So my family will definitely not get any advantage this time. They will get themselves into trouble.”

That's it!
Mrs. Zeng was completely furious and snatched the bowl from Duran. "You lifeless thing, all you do is eat and eat. Since you can't help the family, get off the table right now."

Old Mrs. Zeng said that she wanted to grab Lixia's bowl.

Duran was quick-witted and threw away the chopsticks in his hand, then carried his daughter away with the bowl.

The mother and daughter went to the yard. Old Mrs. Zeng was afraid that the neighbors would laugh at her, so she didn't hold on to them. She just kept cursing and pointing at them, looking very fierce.

Duran ignored her, wiped his mouth, protected his daughter and told her to eat quickly.

She knew this would happen, so she ate her food very quickly and is almost full now.

It was a rare day to have meat and eggs, so Lixia enjoyed the meal very much.

When Mrs. Zeng saw that the Du family had a relative who was in business, she originally wanted to get some benefits and get a job or something, but in the end she got nothing.

In the next few days, Mrs. Zeng would curse Duran whenever she saw him.

Duran ignored her and continued to work, taking his daughter to the fields.

In order to save up assets for their two grandsons, the Zeng family reclaimed some wasteland outside a few years ago. The place is a bit far away, close to the forest farm.

The land here is difficult to hoe; it is hard and full of weeds.

Duran has been here with his daughter to clean up these plots of land recently.

When they arrived at the place, Duran put down the backpack and took out the things hidden in the hole first.

These are the nutritional supplements that Shang Xiaojun bought for the mother and daughter in the city last time.

Duran didn't take it back, but wrapped it in a net bag and old newspapers and hid it here.

Recently, Duran would find opportunities to bring his daughter over almost every day and use the teacup and the water he brought to make a cup of tea for his daughter.

Every time at this time, Lixia would smile and say sweet.

"Mom, you drink too."

Lixia handed the remaining half of the malted milk to Duran.

Duran smiled and said, "I won't drink it, Lixia will drink it and grow up quickly."

Recently, with the biscuits and nutritional supplements, as well as the eggs she secretly hid from time to time, Duran felt that her daughter's complexion was much better than before, and was starting to become rosy.

But Lixia was still a little scared.

"Mom, if grandma and dad knew about this, would they beat us to death?"

Duran said: "No, beating someone to death is against the law, they don't dare."

Lixia: "Then they beat us and didn't give us food. Is that against the law?"

Duran: "Yes. It's just that the law is too busy and sometimes can't take care of it. So we have to save ourselves."

"How can I save myself?"

"Later, when mom saves enough money, she will take you away."
