Lin Pingping was shocked. She looked at Lin Jiao with disbelief on her face.
"Brother, are you kidding me?"
How could the eldest brother be a girl?
She couldn't see it at all.
"I did not lie to you."
Lin Jiao said seriously.
"Then you still live with that man?"
Lin Pingping secretly pointed to the room next door.
"Pei Yuan is my husband-in-law, so we live together."
Lin Pingping was dumbfounded and looked at Lin Jiao in astonishment, "So you...are you really a girl?"
"yes"
Lin Jiao answered affirmatively.
Lin Pingping still thought that when she got to Liangzhou, she would let her father make the decision to betroth her to her eldest brother, but now the eldest brother became the eldest sister.
Woohoo...
Why is her life so miserable?
"Brother... no... you should call me sister."
Lin Pingping looked at Lin Jiao sadly, "Then can I ask sister, what is your name?"
Along the way, she hasn't asked anyone's name yet. Maybe if she had asked earlier, she would have known that the person in front of her was a girl, not a man.
"My name is Lin Jiao." Lin Jiao replied.
Lin Jiao?
Lin Pingping's emotions came and went quickly. She recited Lin Jiao's name in a low voice, and suddenly took Lin Jiao's hand happily, "Sister, your surname is also Lin, and my surname is Lin, then we will be
We are a family. Since we can no longer be husband and wife, how about we become sworn brothers?
From now on, you will be my biological sister. As long as I, Lin Pingping, have something to eat, I will never let my sister go hungry."
Lin Jiao: "..."
"Clang!"
Suddenly there was a loud noise in the house, Lin Jiao's heart skipped a beat, she kicked the door open and rushed in.
In the house.
The teapot was shattered on the floor.
Yueniang stood naked by the table, holding a bloody piece of porcelain in her hand, and her other wrist was bleeding.
"Yue Niang, what are you doing?"
Lin Jiao ran over, took the porcelain piece from Yueniang's hand and threw it away, pressing her arm hard, "Pingping, go find Pei Yuan for the medicine, hurry up..."
"okay!"
Lin Pingping's face turned pale because of Yueniang's injuries. She came to her senses when Lin Jiao yelled and immediately ran out to find Pei Yuan.
Lin Jiao carried Yueniang back to bed and used diluted spiritual spring water to clean her wound. The spiritual spring water quickly stopped the bleeding and the wound healed a little inside, but it still looked very scary on the outside.
Lin Pingping quickly brought the wound medicine and handed it to Lin Jiao. She stood aside and watched Lin Jiao bandaging Yueniang's wound without daring to speak.
"Why did you save me? Sister Pei, just let me die. There is no point in living for a person like me."
Yueniang looked at Lin Jiao with a pale face, her eyes full of despair.
Lin Pingping on the side said: "There are so many beautiful things in this world, such as delicious food, fun things, and people who help you. You have not been abandoned, so why is it meaningless? Ants even know how to live secretly, how can we even think of ants?"
Isn’t it worse?”
"But my father and my eldest brother are both dead. They were killed by those beasts in order to save me. I deserve to die because I caused them trouble."
Yue Niang roared in pain, her eyes were scarlet.
"That's why you can't die. Your father and elder brother would have given up their lives just to keep you alive. You were finally saved, but if you gave up your life so easily, didn't they die in vain?
If you die now, you will really feel sorry for them."
Lin Pingping looked at Yueniang with disapproval in her eyes. If she lost her innocence, she would kill everyone who bullied her and live a good life, better than anyone else.
Because it's not her that damned it.
Lin Jiao agreed very much with Lin Pingping's words.
"Sister Yueniang, Pingping is right. Even if it is for your uncle and your eldest brother, you must live well, otherwise they will sacrifice for you in vain."
Lin Jiao is not good at persuading people. These words may not sound good, but they should stop Yueniang from committing suicide.
"But I'm already dirty, I..."
In ancient times, women regarded chastity as more important than their lives.
The same goes for Moon Girl.
"Then what's the matter, is innocence really that important?
My third aunt was brought back from the brothel by my father. Do you know what kind of life she lived before my father brought her back?
Her father likes his son, but my third aunt has not been favored since she was a child. She does all the dirty work at home. Her father even sold her to an old man in the village for a few cents of silver, and she was tortured until she was half dead.
After finally beating the old man to death, his father sold her to a brothel.
She wanted to resist, but every time she resisted, she would be beaten severely. Later, she did not dare to resist. In the brothel, she accepted all kinds of customers. Sometimes when she met such a pervert, she was beaten until there was not a good piece of flesh on her body.
, she endured it because she said she wanted to live, and she said she had been saving money to redeem herself before she met my father."
Lin Pingping really admired this third aunt, "My third aunt is very thin and frail. She seems to be able to fall if the wind blows. She is also very gentle. My mother said that she is like a weed on the roadside. Anyone can kill her."
It could kill her, but she was able to live very hard while she was alive."
Lin Pingping despises people who commit suicide the most, "What's more, you are not a woman from a brothel. Compared with my third aunt, you have a family who loves you. It's not that you don't think about yourself and your family."
"Sister Yueniang, you will follow me from now on, and I will help you live a good life, okay?"
Lin Jiao held Yueniang's uninjured hand and asked her seriously.
Yueniang watched Lin Jiao crying non-stop, and later burst into tears.
"Just cry and you'll feel better. If you cry, you'll feel better."
Lin Pingping whispered to Lin Jiao from the side.
Lin Jiao nodded, letting Yueniang hold her and cry, staying with her quietly.
Only Yueniang's cry could be heard in the room.
When Yueniang was tired of crying, she held Lin Jiao's hand and slowly closed her eyes.
Lin Pingping sat on the Kang and looked at Lin Jiao curiously, "Sister, why are you helping her like this? And you want her to follow you."
"Because we are all girls, we should help each other."
Lin Jiao said softly.
Lin Pingping was stunned. Because they are both girls, do they have to help each other?
She suddenly remembered asking her mother why she was so nice to the women in her father's backyard and didn't embarrass them.
Her mother always said that being a concubine was like a commodity that could be sent here and there at will, like a rootless duckweed. It was already very difficult, so why bother to embarrass them if they were both women?
"I seem to understand."
Lin Pingping muttered quietly and stood up to clean up the teapot that Yueniang had broken.
Yueniang's sleep was not stable, and she kept holding Lin Jiao's hand tightly. Lin Jiao did not dare to take her hand away, so she sat by the kang and stayed with her quietly.
…
Outside.
Pei Yuan stood in the yard for a while, heard the sound coming from outside, and quickly left the yard.
Outside, two men in black clothes saw Pei Yuan approaching and saluted respectfully.
