But Sanwa Lihua Daiyu shook her head heavily, giving Ling Yun a blow in the head. With all despair, he staggered to his feet.
As if thinking of something, he hurried to their room.
When I went in, I saw that the big bed and the small bed were still there, but the small bed was missing the mat and quilt, and there was still a light dust accumulated on it.
In the room, except for the clothes left for the sisters, all the clothes of the eldest child and the second child had disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
In such a large room, Ling Yun seemed to have lost something, his heart was empty, and his eyes no longer had the light they once had.
After an unknown amount of time, the crying outside stopped and the sun was about to set.
Ling Yun walked out, with no smile or sadness on his face. He just looked at Sanwa calmly, "Which wealthy family does sister belong to?"
Sanwa shook her head, "I don't know, maybe the second sister knows."
Ling Yun hurriedly asked, "Where was the second sister sold to? Whose family did she belong to, do you know?"
Ling Yun was serious, but could not hide the anxiety in his eyes. In a hurry, Sanwa told all the news she knew.
When Ling Yun heard this, he ran away to Uncle Zhou's house.
"Is Mr. Zhou here?" Ling Yun shouted anxiously at the door of Mr. Zhou's house.
"Who is it?" Aunt Zhou's voice came out. She walked in and saw that it was Ling Yun. She quickly greeted her warmly, "Oh! Mr. Xiu Cai is here, come in quickly..."
"Aunt, is Uncle Zhou at home?" Ling Yun stood at the door without moving. He stuck his head in and took a look, wondering if Zhou Dachang was at home.
"Ouch! It's a coincidence that you came here. I just came back and drank a bowl of water." After saying that, he turned around and shouted inside, "Dad, Mr. Xiu Cai is looking for you. Come here quickly!"
When Zhou Dachang heard this, he thought, "Xiucai Gong?"
Could it be that Ling Xiaozi is back?
Zhou Dachang was moved when he heard the sound, and walked out with a long stride. When he saw that it was really Ling Yun, he laughed and said, "Young man Ling is back. Why did you come to my uncle's place just after you came back today? Come in and have a glass of water."
"No, uncle. Could you please accompany me to Zhou's house in Xiahe Village?"
"Oh? Could it be..." Zhou Dachang said calmly for a moment.
"Uncle, slow down, just go at normal speed." On the way, Zhou Dachang kept whipping the buffalo and kept urging him.
Although Ling Yun said this, his voice was full of urgency.
It has been two months since the second son of the Zhou family in Xiahe Village came here.
Getting up early every day to do laundry, cooking, fetching water and cutting firewood. Although it is tiring, the second child can bear it because it is almost the same as at home.
But whenever she made a mistake at work, the Sun family of the Zhou family would not give her food and would make her continue working hungry the next day.
Every time you are ridiculed by her, saying that she is a child bride who was bought with money, even if you are beaten to death, the government will not be able to do anything about it.
In the Zhou family, we can only eat one meal a day. Mrs. Sun of the Zhou family said, your meal money has already been spent on buying your food.
As long as you don't starve to death and as long as you still have breath, you will work for our Zhou family.
Taking care of her consumptive son, her nominal husband, who was lying in bed.
Being a cow or a horse is her responsibility!
But no matter how hard Erwa worked and how hard she worked, Mrs. Sun of the Zhou family was just not satisfied with her.
If she doesn't like her, she will be beaten severely.
From now on, it gets even worse, with a small beating once a day and a big beating every three days.
The second baby was beaten to pieces and was covered with scars.
Now she has developed a deep fear of the Sun family of the Zhou family.
But every time Mrs. Sun of the Zhou family saw her timid eyes, she would reveal a charming smile.
Now Erwa, whenever he hears Mrs. Sun's voice, his body trembles unconsciously and his palms keep breaking out in cold sweat.
They were brutally abused here, and the second baby once secretly ran back to Ling's house, but unexpectedly, the Sun family came to visit her the same day.
Standing at the door of Ling's house, she yelled nonsense, saying that the Ling family had taken the money, signed a deed of sale, and hid their daughter at home.
She said that the Ling family was treacherous and had no choice but to drive her away.
Erwa left the Ling family again and looked back at the Ling family with despair in her eyes.
After returning to Zhou's house, Mrs. Sun picked up the stick and dropped it on her without any hesitation and without any mercy in her eyes.
It was as if the second baby in front of her was not a person in her eyes, but a tool for her to vent.
The miserable Erwa was beaten with bruises all over his body, his skin was torn and his flesh was torn, and there was no part of his body without scars.
While beating her, Mrs. Sun of the Zhou family never forgot to taunt her, "You damn girl, let me see if you still dare to run. Aren't you capable? You ran, why don't you run now?"
The second baby was beaten until she was kowtowing, and screamed in agony, but she continued to scream until she was hoarse, and the Sun family of the Zhou family still showed no sign of letting her go.
The stick hit harder every time until Erwa was beaten to the point where she foamed at the mouth and fainted.
In the end, I didn't forget to kick it a few times. I felt extremely happy and relieved in my heart, and then I waved my hand.
After that, Erwa knew she couldn't run away, so I didn't dare to run away again.
The desire to die has been growing, but she is also afraid that if she dies, will the Sun family of the Zhou family go to the Ling family again to seek an explanation?
Thinking of this, she didn't dare to seek death.
She is always on tenterhooks and frightened, not knowing when the end will be!
Erwa thought this way, and suddenly heard a voice calling her from a distance. The voice seemed to belong to their family, Shiro.
I thought to myself, have I become so weak?
Even my ears started to have auditory hallucinations.
Erwa smiled mockingly to herself, but she couldn't open her dry mouth no matter how hard she struggled.
Then he shook his head vigorously and tried to stand up and continue working.
But before he could stand up, he heard Shiro's voice again, coming closer from far away.
She was stunned for a long time, rubbed her eyes vigorously, then turned around with difficulty and the blurry figure of Shiro came into view.
She didn't speak. She was afraid and hallucinating. In the end, her joy was all in vain.
She finally struggled to stand up, and Ling Yun had already arrived in front of her.
Erwa stroked Ling Yun's face with her scarred hands.
She moved very gently, fearing that her hands would be scratched and dirty her Shiro's face.
She knew that her brother had been fond of cleanliness since he was a child and seemed to have a mysophobia.
I still remember when I was a child, she had just finished burning firewood, and her hands were dark with charcoal ash.
She patted her body and wanted to hug Shiro beside her.
Unexpectedly, when Shiro saw her black hands, he was so frightened that he took two or three steps back, and finally ran back to the room.
She paused on the spot, at a loss.
At that time, she thought it was because Shiro didn't like kissing her, which made her sad for a long time that night.
I hid under the quilt at night and cried secretly, but I didn't expect to be discovered by him.
Shiro climbed onto the bed, wiped away her tears, and said gently, "Second sister, please don't cry! If you cry like a cat, my brother won't like it."
From then on, she realized that it wasn't that Shiro didn't like her, but that he didn't like her when she was dirty.
