<h4>Chapter 3: I Can''t Survive Anymore</h4>


    The original owner definitely wouldn''t say it. She wouldn''t say a word even if it rotted in her stomach.


    However, since she was here, she could not be a saint. She had to let the entire vige know about the Tian family''s torture of the original owner. Those gossipy women would spread it loud and clear.


    "What is it? Your mother-inw kicked you into prematurebor?"


    "My child, dead! Sob sob sob!"


    "Oh dear, how pitiful."


    "I''ll go bury her and head back to work. Mother is still waiting at home, but I haven''t eaten or drunk anything for three days. I can''t work anymore. Mother will scold me and beat me. I beg you, can you give me something to eat or drink? Please!"


    Qiao Mai entered a tragic scene. She looked at everyone pitifully. When she mentioned food, the vigers quickly lowered their heads and busied themselves with their work. The reason why they asked her just now was not because they cared about her but because they wanted to gossip.


    Qiao Mai turned around in disappointment, her eyes cold. It was said that farmers were generous, but they were unwilling to give up a little food.


    For people like this, she would not even lift her eyelids when they die in the future.


    She absentmindedly carried her child and walked towards the end of the vige, ignoring those people.


    The vigers whispered to each other behind her. "Tsk tsk, the Tian family''s madam really knows how to torture her."


    "Isn''t it because this daughter-inw''s family doesn''t care? She didn''t even have a dowry when she got married."


    "That''s equivalent to selling her to the Tian family. I heard it''s dirt cheap, only 100 catties of wheat."


    "So little? Then what was the point of dowry? The betrothal gifts given by the Tian family were so little. Others usually give five or six taels of silver!"


    "Hmph, in any case, the Tian family wouldn''t dare to bully the other two daughters-inw. They have several brothers, and their family background is powerful."


    Qiao Mai walked in front and listened to their conversation. She snorted coldly. The Qiao family also had two men, but she had never seen them stand up for her.


    When she came to a piece of barrennd, she lifted her leg and walked in. She turned around and saw that no one was following her. Then, she shed into her space with the child in her arms.


    She will temporarily keep the baby in her space and told the public it died.


    She found a nket in the cab. It was loose and soft, and it would not harm the child''s skin. She did not have any children''s clothes at the moment, so she gave her this as a swaddling nket.


    She then found a few pieces of her own clothes and folded them for the baby to use as a pillow. She did not have diapers in her storage, so she tore a piece of cotton cloth and made more than ten diapers. She folded them neatly and ced them on the bedside table.


    Only then did she open the tattered swaddling cloth and move the baby onto the nket. At this moment, the baby woke up and let out a low cry.


    She quickly put a napkin under the baby''s butt and carefully wrapped it in the nket. She let her head rest on the pillow and turned to make milk powder.


    She made a big bowl of milk and finished it in one go after feeding the little fellow.


    She had no choice. She needed nutrition too!


    She checked again and found nothing abnormal. The baby slept well after eating. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.


    After being born in seven and a half months, she did not drink any milk for three days and stayed in her mother''s arms. She had to admit that the baby was tough.


    Shey on the bed for a while with her child. She couldn''t rest yet because she still had things to do.


    An hourter, she got up from the bed and left the space alone.


    As soon as she left the wastnd, she entered the ''state.'' As an excellent agent, she had to be good at reaching out and also have good judgment. She had to adapt to various environments and excel in acting.


    Qiao Mai walked to the vige in a daze. At this time, the entire vige knew that Madam Tian Li had kicked her daughter-inw to the point of miscarriage.


    She then neglected her daughter-inw for three days. She did not allow her to drink water or eat. As soon as her daughter-inw woke up, she wanted her to work. Her heart was really too vicious.


    There were also mothers-inw in the vige that disliked their daughter-inw, but the Tian family was the only one to this extent. Moreover, there was a schr in their family. What she did was too much.


    Qiao Mai lowered her head and listened to the gossiping women at the gates of the various courtyards. She snorted coldly.


    ording to her memory, she arrived at the vige chief''s house. She did not go up the steps.


    "Chief, chief, are you there?"


    Her voice was low at first but slowly rose to a high pitch. In the end, it became a shout.


    Not only did she call the vige chief out, but Qiao Mai also called all the vigers over. When Qiao Mai saw the vige chief, she immediately knelt.


    "Chief, I can''t survive anymore. Please help me!"


    This frightened the vige chief. He didn''t know whether to help her up.


    "Sanzhuang''s wife, what''s wrong with you?"


    The vige chief was about forty years old. He looked ordinary, neither fat nor thin. He was of medium height and had always been lenient at vige matters.


    "Chief, I just want to ask you, is it allowed byw for a mother-inw to torture her daughter-inw?"


    The vige chief was stunned. He thought for a moment and said, "That''s not the case."


    "Chief, Qiao Mai wants to ask you, how many families in the world do mothers-inw deliberately kick their daughter-inw to miscarry?"


    The vige chief gulped. He knew Qiao Mai had been wronged, but he was also helpless. This was the Tian family''s matter. He was not rted to the Tian family. It was great if they listened to his advice. If they did not listen, there was nothing he could do.


    "Sanzhuang''s wife, this is your family''s matter. I am in a difficult position."


    "Chief, my mother-inw kicked me into prematurebor. It''s fine that they didn''t hire a midwife, but she didn''t give me any water or food for three days. The child is dead, and I forced myself to bury the child. But she wants me to go back to work immediately. She''s forcing me to death. I''m not a ve she bought. Please help me!"


    The vige chief was in a difficult position. "Sanzhuang''s wife, I know you''ve suffered, but this is your family matter. Since ancient times, which woman hasn''t suffered under the hands of her mother-inw?"


    "Chief, if thew states that a mother-inw can beat and kill a daughter-inw, I won''t say anything. However, there''s no such thing, so I must fight for my life. If you don''t care, I''ll go to the mayor. If the mayor doesn''t care, I''ll go to the sheriff and ask them to judge."


    When he heard Qiao Mai wanted toin to the mayor, the vige chief shivered in fright. He couldn''t let this matter blow up. He would be scolded if he couldn''t even settle such a trivial matter. If the mayor got angry, he would change the vige chief. He couldn''t lose the official position!


    At this time, the Tian family heard the news and rushed to the scene.


    Dozens of vigers surrounded the entrance of the vige chief''s house. Old Tian and his family finally squeezed into the front.


    Qiao Mai didn''t even bother to look at them and kept kowtowing to the vige chief.


    "I beg the chief to be kind and give me a way out. If this continues, I will only die. My poor child, you didn''t even open your eyes to see your mother before leaving."


    "Sanzhuang''s wife, what are you doing? I told you to bury a child. You didn''te home for so long and wanted toin to the vige chief. Hurry up and go home to work. If you can''t finish it, don''t even think about eating."


    Madam Tian Li had a sharp and mean face as she roared. She rushed forward and wanted to pull Qiao Mai away. Qiao Mai was so scared that she screamed.


    "Mother, don''t kick my stomach. Don''t kill my child. I beg you! Chief, save me. Mother is going to kill me!"


    At this point, the vige chief naturally could not ignore it. He shouted.


    "Madam Tian Li, are you crazy? You have to remember that your eldest grandson is still studying!"


    After being yelled at by the vige chief, Madam Tian Li''s anger was suppressed again and again.


    "B*tch, are you going back or not?"


    "No, I''m not going back. I wake up early and stay upte every day. I do the work of a family. I''m only given a mouthful of rice and noodle soup for every meal. You, Sister-inw, and Second Sister-inw scold me openly and secretly. You pinch me and poke me. I don''t want to go back. I''ll die if I go back!"
