Lin Mengya couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, although jealousy could indeed go to one's head.
But Ms. Tian was just a peasant woman. Moreover, she had not shown any viciousness towards her adopted son and wife before.
Why did her daughter-in-law's character change so much after she was pregnant?
The Tian Family was destitute, and there was almost nothing to covet. Therefore, even if her daughter-in-law gave birth to a pair of children, there was no fight for the family property.
What was the reason for this?
Soon, Lin Mengya appeared at the door of the Tian Family.
Tian Laosan sat at the door, smoking a cigarette and rubbing his head with his big black hand. This simple and honest man was obviously worried about the current situation.
After all, they had been husband and wife for so many years, but now they had become like this. He had no idea what to do, so he could only sit at the door and smoke to relieve his boredom.
"Uncle Tian, why are you smoking here? Is there something bothering you?"
Lin Mengya asked with a smile, knowing the answer. Tian Laosan looked up and saw the savior of his two grandsons.
He immediately stood up and looked at the female doctor from a foreign place cautiously, at a loss of what to do.
"Don't be so restrained. How are the children?"
In fact, that day, they went to the town more than ten miles away to find a doctor.
Fortunately, the doctor came in time, and the two children's recuperation could be left to the doctor.
Although they were not full term, they were not far from it. In addition, the mother's body was still healthy, so the two children's development was particularly good.
Tian Laosan looked at his savior and could not help but sigh.
He picked up the tobacco pipe, put it into his mouth, and took a deep breath of the bitter smoke.
"Alas, my son and daughter-in-law are fine. But that old woman of mine, she wasn't like this back then. Alas, it's all my fault! "
Basically, the main responsibility for this matter lay with that cruel and merciless mother-in-law.
But Tian Laosan was a kind person, so he always felt that it was his fault that the family had become like this.
Lin Mengya knew that it was useless for others to say anything about this matter.
Everything had to be let go of by himself.
"You can't say that, Uncle Tian. To tell you the truth, I always feel that this matter is not that simple. I didn't mean to bring up your scars. If it's convenient, I'd like to talk to Grandma Tian in person. After all, this matter concerns the lives of two children. Who knows who else would harm these two children? "
Lin Mengya's sincerity made Uncle Tian nod his head after some hesitation.
Now, Granny Tian had become the sinner of the entire village. She was locked up in a small wooden house where firewood was stored.
Wanting to see her was not a difficult task.
Third Master Tian opened the door to the woodshed. Under the dim light, Granny Tian, who was tied up tightly, looked very dull.
It was a look similar to despair. It was as if everything that happened in the world had nothing to do with her.
His hair was disheveled, and his clothes were wrinkled. He must have been tortured.
Although he looked pitiful, Lin Mengya's heart was as hard as iron.
"Granny Tian, how have you been?"
Inside the room, Nya's voice rang out. Grandma Tian's eyes turned sluggish.
Finally, her eyes fell on the slender girl who was pushed into the room.
There was no longer any sinister and vicious look in her eyes. There was even a little fear in her eyes when she looked at Lin Mengya.
Perhaps she was not a bad person.
After the initial evil thoughts faded, she became timid again.
"You … What else do you want? I know I'm wrong, I really know I'm wrong! I only have myself to blame. I'm jealous of my daughter-in-law. That's why I did this. Let me go, I beg you, let me go! "
Granny Tian was agitated, but Lin Mengya frowned slightly.
But the next moment, Lin Mengya returned to normal.
She looked at Granny Tian coldly, but her eyes were sharp.
"You're the one who did this, but I don't think it's just because you're jealous of my daughter-in-law. I wonder if it has something to do with the child you gave birth to before? "
Lin Mengya's speculation made Granny Tian's eyes tremble. A sense of fear, as if she had been seen through, swept through her.
The reason why she made such a guess was that all of Granny Tian's relatives were either dead or gone.
As an old woman, the only thing she cared about was the child she gave birth to out of wedlock.
"You … No, I did give birth to a child. But that child died a long time ago. That's why I'm jealous of my daughter-in-law. Why can she give birth to a child, but my child has to die? "
The corners of Granny Tian's mouth were twisted.
Lin Mengya was more certain of her speculation, and she sighed in her heart.
A loving mother could turn a person into a devil.
"You don't have to rush to deny it. I heard someone say in the afternoon that there's a legend here. If a daughter-in-law can't give birth to a child, they can bury the stillborn fetus in the yard of the back room, so that they can give birth to a child. If they want a boy, they can bury the boy. It's the same for a girl. However, this child had to be born eight months later, or a baby that died at birth. That's why you're in a hurry to use safflower to hasten the delivery of the fetus. Maybe this is your idea. You don't have to rush to deny it. Someone who can come up with such a sinister method must not be a good person. As long as I ask someone to keep an eye on it, I'm afraid that the target will be found soon. So, you still don't want to admit it? "
Granny Tian's body trembled slightly.
She stared at Lin Mengya in front of her as if she had seen a ghost.
This was a secret that she had made up her mind to take with her to her grave.
But she didn't expect that a strange woman would completely guess it.
"You're surprised that I know about this, aren't you? In fact, before I came here, I had inquired about it. You get along well with your daughter-in-law. At that time, she didn't have a child, and you went around asking people to find her some secret ways to give birth. That's why your daughter-in-law obeyed you. She even listened to such a deadly method like using safflower to hasten the delivery of the fetus. I think if it weren't for your child, you wouldn't have done this. "
Lin Mengya's words finally broke the last line of defense in Granny Tian's heart.
"Wah!" Granny Tian broke down and burst into tears.
With tears streaming down her face, her eyes were filled with deep remorse. If it weren't for her selfishness, perhaps she wouldn't have become like this now.
"Oh, my poor daughter! If I didn't do this, she would have been divorced by her husband's family. I let her down at that time, and that's why she became like this. I feel guilty to her! "
Granny Tian's wailing did not win any sympathy from Lin Mengya.
There must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
Even if it was for her own daughter, what Granny Tian did was also harmful.
If she hadn't arrived in time, the two babies and the innocent pregnant woman might have died a tragic death.
Things had not come to that, but it didn't mean that Granny Tian hadn't committed such a heinous crime.
Lin Mengya slowly exhaled and whispered in Qinghu's ear.
Qinghu hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. However, there was a hint of disapproval in his eyes as he looked at Lin Mengya.
"I might be able to help you cure your daughter's infertility, but you have to pay the price for what you did to the Tian family. I'm not doing this to help you. I just hope that there will be less evil in this world. Tomorrow, ask someone to bring a message to your daughter and ask her to come to the courtyard quietly to look for me. "
Hearing Lin Mengya's words, Granny Tian's eyes suddenly lit up with a glimmer of hope.
She immediately nodded gratefully, as if she was afraid that the next moment, this living Bodhisattva would go back on her words.
Lin Mengya didn't want to continue talking nonsense with her, so she asked Qinghu to push her out of the door.
She didn't ask Qinghu to stop until they were almost back in the small courtyard where she was staying.
"When did you become a living Bodhisattva who saved the world? Let me see, have you been replaced by someone else? "
Qinghu pinched her little face and looked into her eyes in confusion.
The latter rolled his eyes helplessly before reaching out his hand and slapping his hairy hand away.
"When did I become that kind of Holy Mother? I just feel that how could such an absurd thing exist? I know that there are indeed some areas that have such strange methods. But here is Dajin. This method was unique to the Lieyun Kingdom. Don't you think there's something wrong with it? "
In fact, Lin Mengya knew about it because of the records in the music score for the green stringed instrument.
In addition to the proper medical skills and poison skills, the music score for the green stringed instrument also recorded the skills of witchcraft in various places.
Moreover, the content of the records was very detailed. Even the origin and development were clearly recorded.
Since she got the music score for the green stringed instrument, it had become her habit to read it when she had nothing to do.
Now she knew that this kind of witchcraft to pray for children only existed in Lieyun. Lin Mengya had to be more cautious. This was the hinterland of Dajin. Could it be that someone from Lieyun had infiltrated here?
After thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was impossible. Xiu had said that people from Lieyun were very proud by nature. Especially as people from Lieyun, they regarded it as a kind of glory bestowed by God.
Therefore, it was unlikely that they would change their nationality or settle in a foreign country.
In that case, the only possibility was. This method of praying for children might be related to other things.
Although Lin Mengya didn't want to meddle in other people's business, she understood that if she saved the daughter-in-law of the Tian family, it might be equivalent to going against those people.
Even if she wanted to get away, she was afraid that they would not let her.
In that case, it was better for her to make the first move!
"Alas, you!"
