Chapter 251 Applying Medicine
Tong Huaqiong applied the medicine to Liu Yanhong and put on his clothes. He asked Maner and Yaozu to eat snacks with him, and then came to the back room to visit Chunni.
Hong took off Chunni’s clothes and was applying medicine.
Tong Huaqiong saw that Chunni was so skinny that only a handful of bones were left on her body. From her wrist to her forearm, from her calf to her thigh and all the way to her buttocks, she was covered with purple scars.
There are not only fresh scars, but also old marks.
Tong Huaqiong didn't have much contact with Mrs. Luo's family, and she knew that most people in the countryside didn't care about girls. She really didn't expect that Chunni was so ignored at home.
The scars on this body can be called abuse.
Hong shed tears of distress while giving Chunni the medicine.
"Does it hurt?" Hong asked warmly while applying medicine to Chuni with the cotton ball given by Tong Huaqiong.
Chunni shook her head.
But the uncontrollable slurping sound came out from between her lips and teeth, and Tong Huaqiong knew that Chunni was holding back.
How can it not hurt?
Just now Liu Yanhong was crying while applying the medicine, but Chuni's injuries were more severe than Liu Yanhong's.
"Chunni, are all the wounds on your body caused by your milk?" Tong Huaqiong asked.
Chunni said softly: "It was my grandma and my father who beat me."
Chuni's father Tian Fugui usually seemed to be a very honest man, but Tong Huaqiong did not expect that he would be so cruel to his daughter.
Tong Huaqiong asked again: "Your mother and your father beat you, and your mother just watched like that?"
Chunni endured the pain, lowered her head and said, "My mother sometimes protects you. Beat me, my father and my mother together.”
Tong Huaqiong’s breath was stagnant, and Tian Fugui, who couldn’t beat him with a stick, was a domestic violence maniac. I really didn’t expect it.
Chunni's mother, Cao, Tong Huaqiong didn't have much contact with her. She only knew that she was a woman who was very quick at work.
After hearing what Chuni said, Hong felt distressed and angry.
I feel sorry for the little Chuni who lives a pitiful life like a cabbage, and I am angry that no one at home protects her.
If I were to give her such a daughter, she would be willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of her life.
Chunni's tears were streaming down her face. She had grown so old, but no one had ever cared about her body as much as Hong and Tong Huaqiong and applied medicine to her tenderly.
Her mother would care about her even behind her father's and grandma's back, but that kind of care included helplessness and urging her to be patient.
Mrs. Hong applied medicine to Chuni and led her to the main room.
In the main room, Man'er, Liu Yanhong and Yaozu were eating snacks and egg custard around the table.
Tong Huaqiong handed Chuni a pair of chopsticks, and Maner placed the egg custard in front of Chunni.
Chunni didn’t dare to eat it.
She almost never served food at home. Every time she and her mother cooked and put it on the table, she would sit at the door of the pot with a bowl in hand to eat.
Whenever the family cooks meat or dishes, Chunwang eats them first, and his father eats the leftovers.
Dad saved the leftovers for Chunwang and his dad to eat together next time.
She, Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Cao are not qualified to eat.
She was surprised and envious when she saw that there was more egg custard in Man'er's bowl than in Yaozu's bowl.
She didn't dare to think about the same life as Man'er. She was satisfied if she could put a few chopsticks on the table.
"It's okay, this is my house, no one dares to hit you." Tong Huaqiong said.
Chunni swallowed her saliva and took a bite of the egg custard.
So delicious!
When Mrs. Luo saw Chunni being taken to Tong Huaqiong’s house by the Hong family, she was already feeling uncomfortable, but she did not dare to stop her. After all, she beat Magistrate Liu’s son and was afraid that she would offend Tong Huaqiong. Being kidnapped like Xu Yong.
She waited outside for a long time, but Chuni didn't come out. She couldn't help it anymore, and came to Tong Huaqiong's yard and shouted into the house: "Ms. Dashu, it's time for Chunni to go back."
Chuni heard Mrs. Luo's voice and silently put down her bowl.
She must go back.
Although the Gu family is nice, it is not her home.
She knew that if she went back now, she would be beaten less. If she delayed going back, she would be beaten even more severely.
"Grandma Tong, I'm going back. Thank you for the medicine and egg custard." Chuni said obediently, and then stood up. Tong Huaqiong and Hong sent Chuni out.
When Mrs. Luo saw Chunni coming out, she wanted to hit her again, but she saw Tong Huaqiong and held back.
No rush, there are plenty of opportunities to fight when you get home.
Tong Huaqiong said to Mrs. Luo: "You hit your child too hard. Who will work for you if he is disabled? You don't expect Chunwang to work for you. If you beat him to death, then let him work for you. How can the daughter-in-law give birth to a granddaughter who will be much younger than Chunwang in exchange for a bride price for Chunwang? "
Tong Huaqiong made herself sick by saying this.
There is no way, this is the only way that might make Mrs. Luo have a slightly better attitude towards Chuni.
Mr. Luo still hopes that Chunni will work and that Chunni will grow up to exchange for Chunwang’s bride price.
She hoped to follow Granny Luo’s idea and expand Chuni’s role in Chunwang. Granny Luo might restrain herself because of Chunni’s value.
Grandma Luo smiled with a wrinkled face and said, "Who says it's not true? I was so angry that I beat her like this today. I feed her and clothe her as usual. As a grandma, I would never Beat him to death."
Mrs. Luo saw Man'er standing at the door of the main room looking outside.
Man'er was wearing brand-new clothes, with two small hairpins on her head and a pair of golden lilacs on her ears. She looked not much different from a young lady in the city.
Mr. Luo was filled with contempt for Tong Huaqiong.
Widow Tong was confused. Her grandson Yaozu didn't feel much pain, but instead she hurt her granddaughter, and she didn't crawl out of her own daughter-in-law's belly.
People say that Widow Tong is talented and can open a snack shop and prepare pesticides. In her opinion, Widow Tong is very stupid.
In the past, Zhao Li doted on Gu Peach Blossom, but now she still dotes on Man'er.
Do girls deserve to be pampered like this?
I am not afraid of shortening their lives.
Girls have to be beaten at their parents’ home. If they are not treated well at their parents’ home, they will be beaten and subdued when they get to their husband’s home.
No wonder Gu Taohua is almost fifteen and no one has come to propose marriage yet.
This is all retribution for Widow Tong’s pampering of girls.
Chuni went back with Mrs. Luo, and Hong felt sad that she didn't leave Chuni behind.
Tong Huaqiong said: "We can protect her for a while, but we cannot protect her for the rest of her life. She has to go back."
Hong said: "Is there no way to prevent Chunni from being beaten?"< br>
Tong Huaqiong was silent.
They could only protect Chunni for a short time. When she got home, she didn't know how Mrs. Luo and Tian Fugui beat her even harder.
It's fine if Tong Huaqiong didn't see it. Now that she saw it and asked her to put down her hand, she couldn't pretend not to see it.
As for how to help?
Tong Huaqiong hasn’t thought clearly yet.
Because this matter is more difficult.
When it got dark, Chunni’s mother, Cao, came to the door.
"Aunt Tong, Chuni has caused trouble for you today."
Cao placed a basket of pigweed in the yard of Tong Huaqiong's house.
Tong Huaqiong knew that she came to thank him.
Tong Huaqiong said directly to Ms. Cao: "Chunni's body is covered with injuries. You, the mother-in-law, must find a way. She will never live a life of being beaten like this."
Mr. Cao lowered his head and wrung his hands.
How could a mother not feel distressed when her daughter was always beaten, but what could she do?
Many girls come here like this.
She can neither stop the man nor the mother-in-law.
Tong Huaqiong knew that she could not persuade Mr. Cao with just one sentence.
“I’ll give you these medicines. You can rub Chunni’s wounds on her body.”
Tong Huaqiong took out the medicine from the house and handed it to Cao.
Ms. Cao thanked him, took the medicine and left.
