“Don’t worry about them. I’ll teach you to read and write. After some time, I’ll send you and your brother to school. Also, Xu Xiang, you have to go to school too.” Xu Qing touched Xu Zhi’s head and said seriously.

“Xiao Qing, you…” Qu Feng looked at Xu Qing in confusion.

“Mother, when my wounds heal and I can get out, I will think of a way to earn money. We can’t continue like this. Look at my siblings. Do you want to repeat my brother’s mistakes? Mother, if you really can’t stay in that family, leave. The two of us will live with our younger siblings and my children.” Xu Qing looked at Qu Feng probingly. She thought of the Xu family’s attitude and felt disgusted.

“Your brother…” Qu Feng clenched her fists. She could not tolerate it anymore. Her first child had died before he turned five years old. She currently could no longer protect Xu Qing, and the three children would have to grow up. She looked at her daughter, who seemed to have been reborn, and she felt motivated. However, she thought of her filial husband who would not go against his parents. “Leave the Xu family… Not to mention your grandparents, but even your father will not agree…”

Xu Qing saw Qu Feng’s reaction and knew that this matter would not be settled immediately. However, as long as she had this thought, she would think of a way. “Don’t worry, I will get them to agree.” Xu Qing’s eyes flashed.

“Qu Feng? Did you die inside? You damned slut, you run to this slut’s place every day. Don’t you have work to do at home?!” A sharp voice sounded outside the straw hut!

When Qu Feng heard this voice, her scalp instantly went numb. Xu Zhi was also trembling in fear. Qu Feng pressed down Xu Qing, who was about to get up, in a panic. “Don’t go out. Don’t say that you haven’t recovered yet. Being angry will harm your body. Rest first. I will go see her.” Her daughter had just given birth, so she definitely wouldn’t let anyone hurt her.

“You’re going too far!” Xu Qing couldn’t help but come to the door and scold. However, when she saw her mother’s worried gaze, she sat down again. “Mother, don’t go out. Let her talk. If no one responds to her, she’ll leave!”

Qu Feng shook her head. If she didn’t go out, the person outside would come in. How could she let that person come in and affect Xu Qing’s recuperation? The first month after a woman gave birth was the most important. Since Xu Qing had given birth to three children and almost lost her life, she couldn’t let anyone affect Xu Qing’s mood. “Let your brother accompany you here. I’ll go back and finish my work. They’ll stop and wait for you to recover. Don’t worry…”

At this moment, Xu Qing’s three babies started to cry one after another. Babies were like this. They would be woken up by the slightest noise. When one cried, the rest would cry too. Qu Feng’s heart ached when she saw the children cry. She watched as Xu Qing frantically coaxed the children to stay and she turned to leave.

“Hmph!” There was a middle-aged woman outside the door. It was Qu Feng’s sister-in-law, Mo Qiu. When she saw that Qu Feng had finally come out, her expression still didn’t look good. If not for the fact that she was worried that Xu Qing, that little slut, would affect her luck, she would have rushed in long ago and wouldn’t have just shouted and scolded at the door. “You didn’t do your work at home and secretly ran here to take care of your little slutty daughter…”

Mo Qiu grabbed Qu Feng’s sleeve and acted as if she had touched something dirty. She cursed along the way and finally arrived at a small farmhouse. There were six to seven mud houses with some chickens, ducks, and geese at the door. The door was only made of a few logs, but it was clean and tidy inside. Qu Feng and her family were the ones who tidied it up…

Qu Feng looked at this complicated family and felt exhausted. Then, she heard Mo Qiu shout sharply, “Mother, my third sister-in-law is back. Come out and take a look!” Mo Qiu’s loud voice could be heard by the surrounding neighbors.

Immediately after, a mean old lady’s voice sounded. “Bitch! You didn’t even cook and went to take care of that little slut. Do you plan to let me, your mother, cook for you?”

The old lady was fat and had a mean appearance. Her saggy eyes made people feel uncomfortable. There were other people from the Xu family behind her.

The Xu family had many members, but they all had different agendas.

“I just went to see my child. Why can’t I?!” Qu Feng clenched her fists. Although she was afraid of her mother-in-law, Chen Qiulian, she felt brave when she thought of her daughter’s worried expression. She could not let her daughter, who was still recuperating, feel sad for her.

“You b*tch, you actually dare to talk back?” Chen Qiulian was in disbelief at first. Her daughter-in-law, who had always been submissive, actually dared to talk back. Then, she was enraged and looked around for something handy to hit her. “What child? That’s the b*tch who was thrown out by the Xu family. Trash! You actually dared to steal the Xu family’s things to see her. If you don’t bring back what you took from us these few days, I’ll beat you to death today!”
