With all the power of the soul, there is no afterlife. Regardless of whether the other clients are good or bad, at least they will have an afterlife. Even if they are reincarnated as ephemerals, they will also be counted as afterlife. She is completely gone.
She is pitiful, and so are the children who were reborn in this family.
Her biological children were all miserable. The second girl was not her biological child, but she was miserable, but her misfortune was her own fault.
Now the time of my arrival is not bad. Ren Dagang broke his leg on the mountain a few days ago, but he can still be saved. He won't have any sequelae, let alone end up being completely frozen like in the plot.
The high official has not yet arrived in the county, and the second girl is still at home. Although the third girl and her two sons are not eating well, they still have something to eat.
The two pieces of land at home are still there, and my mother-in-law has not yet become seriously ill.
Since the client doesn't intend to take revenge on the high official, he doesn't want to take the high official's side either.
Speaking of it, it was indeed the second girl who first provoked others and attached themselves to them. She went to the mansion and was so ignorant that she didn't understand her position.
However, even if there is a task of revenge against a high-ranking official, it is not difficult for me. It is just one person. Even if it cannot be dealt with openly, it is very easy in private. It is just that it is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong. Er Yatou has a big part. I can't really blame others for the responsibility, that's all.
The second girl has no name, the three daughters have no names, and the names of the two sons are also very simple, one is named Ren Xiaosi and the other is named Ren Xiaowu.
The name was chosen according to the ranking in the family, very casual and authentic.
Meng Li couldn't help but rub his hands under the quilt. It was so cold. He thought it was winter. In fact, it was already the New Year and spring was about to begin, but the weather was still so cold.
That is to say, this winter, Ren Da's legs were completely frozen, and at the end of this year, their family completely came to an end.
And the second girl came back with a smelly corpse in the hot summer.
It was during this year that so many changes occurred in the family that the client and Ren Da were overwhelmed and chose to commit suicide.
The family lacks food and clothing, and there are not enough quilts to cover her. The quilt covering her body is now in tatters, and she has to mend it with various pieces of cloth. She has forgotten what it was like in the beginning. Meng Li sighed deeply, lifted the quilt and sat up. , the light shone in through the gap above the head, illuminating this impoverished home.
The gap above the head is due to the wind blowing last time, and the tiles fell off. If it rained in the past few days, containers would have to be used to catch them underneath.
"You're awake." Meng Li stood up and startled Ren Da. Although he had just woken up, Ren Da's voice was very tired. He screamed with leg pain last night until midnight, and finally fell asleep because he was so sleepy. Now he can't sleep anymore. I woke up again at two o'clock.
Meng Li responded: "I have to get up and do some work."
"Hey, is there anything to eat?" Ren Da asked.
In order to buy medicine for Ren Da's leg, I sold all the food I had at home. Now I only have that little food. The weather is too cold and spring planting has not yet been carried out. There is no hope, so I just plant. Even if the food goes to the ground, it will not survive until the harvest.
"Let's do it." Meng Li sighed, thinking that the client would wake up every morning and feel overwhelmed by the thought of four children, an old man, himself and Ren Da, a total of seven people eating.
"You can sleep a little longer and wait until I come back from the mountain to make food for you." Meng Li stood up and moved his stiff limbs, but he couldn't help but shiver because it was too cold.
She had no warm clothes to wear. She was wearing the warmest clothes and didn't dare to take them off. She put her coat on, but she didn't feel very warm.
It is impossible to eat breakfast under such conditions. There are only two meals a day. Even if it is worse, one meal is possible. The reason for getting up early in the morning is to get up and work.
Ren Da said guiltily: "I have made you tired, and now I am like a useless person."
"I don't blame you." Meng Li said lightly.
Ren Da was still very hardworking before he broke his leg in an accident, but hard work does not necessarily lead to wealth. However, he would always eat more when he was well. Now he is lying here unable to move and has no money for medical treatment. It is helpless and also Because he was not given medical treatment, he had to rely on the client to deal with the situation when his life got worse, and then a vicious cycle began.
"It's my fault, I really shouldn't have broken my leg." Ren Da still blamed himself.
Meng Li: "Stop talking, it won't help."
The family has no savings and is so poor that it has no ability to deal with emergencies.
Ren Da sighed.
"It's still very cold today," he said.
The light in the room was not very good, so Meng Li opened the door. It was impossible to light a lamp. Nowadays, lighting a lamp is very luxurious. When he opened the door, the light from outside came in, allowing Meng Li to see clearly Ren Da's purple face.
I was lying in bed and was turning purple from the cold. It was such a hard day.
Now Meng Li doesn't know whether to open or close the door. Close it. There is always an unpleasant musty smell in the room. Open it. The cold wind blowing outside makes people uncomfortable. See Ren Da shrinks again. Shrinking, Meng Li closed the door anyway.
The musty smell is bearable, but the cold can't be any worse.
"Sleep well." Meng Li walked out the door.
The mother-in-law also got up. She stood at the door of her room and looked over. When she met Meng Li's eyes, the old woman said unhappily:
"I woke up a little late this morning, and there was nothing when you went up the mountain."
Meng Li didn't say anything. The client's mother-in-law didn't speak pleasantly, but she was kind-hearted. Over the years, the client had tolerated all the unpleasant things she said. After all, she was also a mother-in-law. She had to respect the old man, so naturally she couldn't talk back at will.
"Go get some water and prepare it. I'll ask Er Yatou and the others to burn it for Ren Dayong." The old woman ordered again.
Meng Li: "I understand."
Fetching water from the well near home, several families use one. Fetching water in cold weather is a hard job. The children can't do it, and the mother-in-law is not in good health and can't do it. Ren Da can't get out of bed now, and it's not his turn. Only myself
Later in the plot, Ren Da got out of bed. Although he was not well and limping, he was still responsible for these physical tasks.
Meng Li fetched two buckets of water and carried them home. His hands and face were all red from the cold. The old woman boiled some water at home, held it in front of Meng Li in a wooden basin and said, "Wash your hands. Look at you, you look like you're doing this." How much work it took.”
Meng Li glanced at her indifferently, not bothering to say anything more to her. He put his hand into the hot water and soaked it before he became conscious.
For the first time since then, she felt more comfortable. She looked at her hands in the basin. She saw a pair of wrinkled palms, which were red. There were still many unhealed wounds on her hands. They had frostbite last winter. Now, It's not getting better, and now it hurts a little when the hot water is boiled.
But there was not much hot water, and it quickly cooled down. Meng Li took it out reluctantly.
