The Snail Princess and Her Benefactor

Chapter 124 Poor Mother and Son

Ling Mi went to two clinics in succession, and each one was the same, as long as they mentioned treating Huo Ling'er's mother.

They all tried to avoid him as much as possible, but he was alone and could not fight with them all.

Standing outside the clinic, Ling Mi really had no idea what to do. If she continued looking like this, there might not be a doctor willing to treat Huo Linger's mother until dawn.

Ling Mi stood outside a clinic and really wanted to rush in and make a scene, but after thinking it over again and again, she felt that making a scene might not solve the problem.

Suddenly I changed my mind and decided to ask my boss at Wu Yue Pharmacy for help.

That man seems to be an upright person, so if you ask him for help, maybe he will be willing to help Huo Linger's mother.

Thinking of this, Ling Mi did not delay any longer and went straight to Wu Yue Pharmacy.

Not long after I walked, I saw a group of people coming towards me. They were walking with heavy footsteps, as if they were in a hurry to look for someone.

Ling Mi only felt that a few of them looked familiar, and identified them carefully in the moonlight.

The person leading the group was none other than the boss of Wu Yue Pharmacy.

Next to him followed a tall and handsome man, who was none other than Yang Shilin, the benefactor of my sister's sin.

Ling Mi hurried forward, secretly delighted. She was just about to find Boss Wu, but she didn't expect him to bump into her.

"Ling Mi, why are you hanging around here instead of going home? Your sister is going crazy at home. Come home with me quickly."

As soon as Yang Shilin got close to Lingmi, he asked anxiously.

Ling Mi turned her head to look at Boss Wu next to her and bowed slightly.

"My boss is here to see me too!"

"Yang Shilin came to find me, and I learned that you left the store today and never came home. That's why everyone in the store asked around for your whereabouts. When they found out that you went to Huo Ling'er's house, they hurried to find you."

My boss was secretly surprised, why did Mr. Yang come to Lingmi in such a hurry, but Miss Lingmi seemed to be indifferent to Yang Shilin.

This is the first time in all these years that I have seen this handsome guy being looked down upon. It seems that Yang Shilin is being ignored today.

"Oh..." Ling Mi replied faintly, then glanced at Yang Shilin who was standing next to my boss.

He bowed slightly and said, "Young Master Yang, I was just delayed by something. I will go home after I finish my work. Don't worry about me. Besides, I'm not a three-year-old child. I will be fine."

Ling Mi knew that her sister must be waiting anxiously at home. Yang Shilin might come home to bother her sister again today.

Seeing how anxiously his sister was waiting, he offered to help Sister Hua Chao come out to look for him.

"Miss Lingmi, I already know what you are talking about, but I am just the owner of a small medicine shop and I can't help you!"

Before Lingmi could even open her mouth to beg, my boss refused outright.

Ling Mi looked at the owner of Wuyue Pharmacy in surprise. How could even he be like this? This man had always been honest and kind, but why was he acting out of character today?

"Ling Mi wants to know why this happened? There must be a reason! You are from this town. What happened in Huo Ling'er's family that made the people of Mengbao Town so cold and cruel to his family of three!"

Ling Mi became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her cheeks began to turn slightly red with anger.

"Hey! Ling Mi, there is a reason for this. It's not that we don't want to help them, it's just that we have no other choice. Besides, I'm just an ordinary boss, how can I be stronger than a powerful person?"

The owner of Wu Yue Pharmacy sighed helplessly and said.

"Then tell me the whole story. Otherwise, I will force you to go and treat Huo Ling'er's mother today."

Ling Mi put her hands on her hips and said angrily.

"Well! Well, I'll tell you the whole story. Otherwise, I don't think you'll let it go."

…………

It turned out that Huo Linger's mother, Liu, was a maid in Wang Batian's family in this town. Because she was quite pretty, she was forced by Wang Batian to be his concubine.

Wang Batian had few children in his family, with only one ugly and fat son born to his wife.

Although he had four or five wives and concubines, he did have five or six daughters, all of whom were born out of wedlock.

After Huo Linger's mother Liu was raped by Wang Batian, she could only swallow her anger and dare not speak out, and continued to work as a slave in the mansion.

However, Liu, who was born as a maid, became pregnant not long after. Wang Batian announced that as long as Liu gave birth to a son, she would be allowed to marry into the Wang family as a concubine.

This undoubtedly became a thorn in the eyes of the principal wife, and as a maid, Liu was subjected to all kinds of difficulties in the palace.

But what was strange was that the baby in Liu's belly was very resistant. No matter how the other wives tormented her, the fetus was still born at full term.

The most amazing thing is that the child was born at sunrise, and the sky of the entire Mengbao Town turned bright red, as if a raging fire was burning the sky.

No one in the crowd had ever seen such a spectacle, and they all stopped to watch. Suddenly, a streak of red flame pierced across the skyline.

It struck into the backyard of the palace like a flame, and everyone was frightened and screamed in shock, thinking that Wang Batian's family would be punished by heavenly fire.

The entire Wang family might be finished, but when the flames penetrated the Wang family, nothing happened to the palace.

Instead, it was the concubine of the Wang family who was born a maid and gave birth to a big fat boy for Wang Batian.

Wang Batian was so happy that he held a buffet for three consecutive days and invited all the important people in the town.

He even set up a porridge shop outside the mansion for the first time and gave away porridge for half a month.

He told everyone that when his second child was born, auspicious signs entered the house and that he would definitely be a child who would bring honor to the family, so he was named Huo Ling'er.

Poor Liu only lived a peaceful life for two years in Wang Batian's mansion.

When Huo Linger was two years old, Liu became pregnant again.

How could the ladies let her succeed again this time? They were all afraid that Liu would give birth to another boy, and then she would become the most favored one in the mansion.

Outsiders can only spread rumors and have no idea what is going on in Wang Batian's mansion.

All we know is that one day when it was thundering and raining heavily, Liu was kicked out of the house by Wang Batian.

She also announced to the public that she and Huo Ling'er could only stay in Mengbao Town and were not allowed to leave the town, and no one in the town was allowed to give her and her son any help.

If anyone in the town disobeyed Wang Batian, he would be severely beaten at best, or his family would be destroyed and his wife and children separated at worst.

Mengbao Town is not big to begin with, and Wang Batian has been the king for many years. Who would dare to give the Liu mother and son any help?

At the beginning, Liu was beaten and driven out of the house by Wang Batian. At that time, she was still in good health and could barely get out to beg for leftovers from other people's pigs to survive.

A few months later, she gave birth to a little daughter. Probably due to menstrual tuberculosis, her health deteriorated.

Every day he could only rely on Huo Ling'er to beg, but Wang Batian still wouldn't give in.

He sent his men to follow Huo Ling'er all the time. Whenever he saw someone giving him leftovers, he would immediately go up and beat up both the person who gave him the food.

After a few times like this, no one dared to give Huo Linger food.
