Chapter 394: Chapter 395: A Miserable Day 2

Today, it was Li Chunhua’s turn to gather firewood, and she carried back a large bundle from the mountain.

Old Lady Li, however, looked at her with disdain: "You were out so long, and yet you gathered so little?! You eat a lot but contribute nothing. You’re just wasting food, good for nothing!"

Li Chunhua, with tears in her eyes, quietly explained: "There were a lot of people gathering firewood where I went today, I couldn’t collect as much."

She hadn’t had enough to eat all day, she was devoid of any strength, there was no way she could gather as quickly as others.

"You still dare to talk back?! Think you’ve had a comfortable time at the Chen Family, and forgotten how useless you are?"

Seeing that she dared to argue, Old Lady Li angrily grabbed a piece of firewood as thick as an arm and forcefully laid it on Chunhua’s back, ranting: "Don’t think about freeloading here, you can eat only if you work, otherwise, be prepared to starve!"

Li Chunhua bit her lip in pain, but she dared not utter a word.

She knew her family resented her for freeloading after she had been at home for so many days.

If it wasn’t for her child’s father promising to come and take her back after a while, and giving her ten dollars for living expenses when he left her, she wouldn’t have survived with such disdain and abuse.

"Go and collect dung! Don’t think about being lazy, or forget about dinner!" After issuing her scolding, Old Lady Li roughly pushed Chunhua away.

Remembering how healthy and well-fed this wretched girl was when she first came back, reeking of meat even, it was clear she had a good time at the Chen’s.

She lived well at the Chen family’s, but never thought of bringing back anything to help her own family.

Life at the Chen’s was good, enough to turn eyes green with envy. But with Ma Xiulian, the stubborn old woman, and that monstrous child around, Old Lady Li who suffered endless losses didn’t dare go there anymore.

Li Chunhua lowered her head, put down the firewood and headed to collect the dung at the pigsty.

Because she had to water a large area of land, she made over twenty trips, and her back was so sore she could hardly stand straight.

Both tired and hungry, her feet slipped on a small stone and she fell heavily to the ground.

The dung from the bucket splashed onto her, the stench was overwhelming, and she was disgusted!

Looking at her own miserable condition, she started to cry on the spot, "Wuu~"

Why was she so unlucky? When would her child’s father come to take her back?

After crying for a while, she stumbled to her feet and started to walk home.

As soon as she entered the doorway, Old Lady Li chased her out with a broom, covering her nose and mouth in disgust: "Good for nothing, get out! You reek so much it’s killing me!!"

A few of her nephews grumbled unhappily: "Grandma, please send Auntie back! She has been freeloading off us for way too long!"

Grandma said, a married daughter is like spilled water, they have nothing to do with the Li Family anymore!

"Damn! Clean yourself up quickly, you stink!" The grumbling voice of Elder Brother Li also came from inside the house.

Old Lady Li glared, and scolded: "Quickly go fetch some water and clean yourself up!"

She wasn’t thinking of driving her daughter away, she was waiting for Chen Jianye to come and pick her up, so she could demand more money.

Li Chunhua was used to their attitude, and she immediately fetched water for a bath.

Though it was already the end of May, the well water was still cold around dusk, and she shivered as the cold water washed over her, making her teeth chatter.

Only after several buckets of water were used for her bath was she allowed to go inside and change her clothes.

Although she had dry clothes on, her hands and feet were still icy cold, but she didn’t have time to care about that, she needed to go and eat as quickly as possible.

If she were a moment too late, then even the coarse rice soup would be gone.
