Chapter 403 - 404: It’s Really Tragic

Chapter 403: Chapter 404: It’s Really Tragic

Chen Jianye also knew he would probably not be able to leave without giving the ten yuan, so he reluctantly handed them over, and only then did Old Li and his brothers let them pass.

The pair returned home before lunchtime.

At their first sight of Li Chunhua, the Chen Family were stunned, almost failing to recognize her.

In just two months, Li Chunhua had lost a significant amount of weight, her face worn out and wretched, clearly showing she had had a hard time.

With her head bowed in a timid manner, she murmured, "Dad, mom, I’m back."

Ma Xiulian didn’t intend to make things difficult for her. She merely responded indifferently, "Hmm, come in."

Looking at her state, she figured Chunhua would be quiet for a good long while this time.

As soon as Li Chunhua entered the house, she held her little son, calling out repeatedly, "Jinbao, my good son, mommy missed you so much!"

As she called out, she showered him with kisses.

Watching the touching reunion, the mothers among them, including Zhao Mei, couldn’t help but get teary-eyed. The long separation of the mother and child was indeed pitiful.

Especially for Liu Lanzhi, a new mother herself, she could empathize greatly as she could hardly bear to let her children out of her sight, let alone being separated for two months.

In an instance, they had all forgiven Li Chunhua for stealing the Snowflake Cream.

Li Chunhua wanted to hold Xiaobao, but Xiaobao timidly avoided her, unfamiliarity in his eyes.

Because Li Chunhua looked like a completely different person now, her face gaunt and her eyes large, she appeared somewhat menacing and frightening.

"Xiaobao, it’s mommy!"

His evasive reaction pained Li Chunhua greatly, but luckily, Jinbao was not afraid of her and even gave her a joyful, toothy smile.

Li Chunhua’s heart melted totally, she clung onto her younger son proclaiming, "Jinbao, mommy’s Jinbao, mommy will never leave you again!"

After the meal was prepared, Ma Xiulian announced, "Let’s eat."

Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua quickly moved forward, her eyes fixed on the dishes on the table, practically salivating and seemingly on the verge of drooling green. But unlike before, she didn’t dare to grab the meat directly.

Feeling empathetic, Chen Jianye served her a lot of meat, "Eat, my wife, eat more!"

Gradually, Li Chunhua began to loosen up. She ate ravenously, as though she had been starved for hundreds of years.

Moreover, her hands were full of calluses, Zhou Zhaodi couldn’t bear to watch, it was simply tragic.

Although they knew the Li Family didn’t treat their daughters well, they never imagined the treatment could be this harsh. Li Chunhua must have suffered a lot in these two months.

Seeing her rush to eat so quickly, Zhao Mei couldn’t help advising, "Third daughter-in-law, eat slowly, don’t choke."

As if on cue, Li Chunhua choked. Her eyes rolling back in pain as she pounded her neck and made hoarse "heh-heh" sounds from her throat.

Chen Jianye quickly fetched her some water to drink, but she managed to swallow it down on her own.

She suffered through the discomfort in her throat and continued to stuff meat into her mouth, only stopping when her mouth was so full she could not fit in any more.

Because she stuffed too much into her mouth, she couldn’t close it properly. Oil and remnants dribbled out of her mouth.

The children were somewhat alarmed by her eating manner. The Little Princess, who loved cleanliness and beautiful things, cringed and said, "That’s disgusting."

This prompted Ma Xiulian to frown and scold, "What sort of eating manners are those?! If you’re going to be disgusting, go eat outside!"

Only then did Li Chunhua slow down. It had been too long since she had eaten meat, she was severely lacking oil.

In the Li Family, morsels of oil-rich meats were reserved for the men while the women and daughters could only watch enviously.
