Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 71: Catch the two girls back
This cruel detail made Li Guifen burst into tears like a flood, while Zhang Laosan gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with rage, and he vowed to seek justice for his daughter.
Zhang Erya suddenly jumped up from the simple straw mat, and her knees hit the hard ground with a dull "thump" sound. Then she fell to the ground, her tears mixed with dust.
Her voice was filled with despair and trembling that could not be ignored. She begged with all her might, "Dad, Mom, I beg you, please don't send me back to the Wang family, which is like purgatory! I, I escaped from their dark and damp woodshed at the risk of my life. Every day there was torture. They threatened me that if I didn't obey, they would break my legs. If I fall into their hands again, I really, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape!"
Li Guifen's heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.
Before her eyes, her usually docile and lovely daughter was now kneeling on the ground, her tears mixed with dirt. The scene was like a sharp knife piercing her heart.
Without a moment's hesitation, Li Guifen quickly stepped forward, wrapped her arms around Zhang Erya's shoulders, and hugged her tightly in her arms: "My child, I swear that I will never let you step into that devil's threshold again! Now that the situation at home has improved, even if I need to beg everyone humbly, even if I have to use my last savings, or ask the village chief to show mercy and give us more time, I will collect the five taels of silver for your redemption and let you get rid of that nightmare completely."
Zhang Laosan's eyes flushed red, his rough face twisted by suppressed emotions. He held Zhang Erya's hands tightly, his hands trembling slightly due to the force, and he clenched his teeth: "Erya, don't worry! Your mother and I will never let you set foot in that hellhole again in this life! We in the Zhang family have backbone, and we are determined to protect our children!"
Hearing this, the huge rock in Zhang Erya's heart that had been suffocating her finally fell to the ground. The fear and grievance that had been suppressed for a long time turned into endless tears at this moment. She burst into tears, as if she wanted to pour out all her suffering and despair.
The next day, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, Zhangjia Village was still immersed in the tranquility of dawn, but it was suddenly broken by a rude knock on the door and a roar.
Several sturdy men with ferocious faces appeared at the door of Zhang's house like ferocious monsters, kicking the wooden door vigorously, and shouting in a rough and harsh voice: "Open the door for me! We want to catch the runaway child bride of the Wang family!"
Xu Liyun and Zhang Laoer were awakened by the sudden noise. The family was still sleepy, but the scene outside was heart-pounding, hitting their nerves and making their scalps numb.
I hurried out to find out what happened, only to find out that something big had happened at the Zhang family.
Zhang Changshun immediately ran over to report the news, looking anxious, and urged them to rush to provide support.
The couple looked at each other, and they understood without saying anything.
He turned around and went back into the house, hurriedly urging the children to get dressed and wash up, while asking Zhang Changshun for details.
Zhang Changshun looked solemn as he relayed the story in detail, "I heard that it was your Erya who was sold to Wangjia Village as a child bride several years ago. Over the years, the Wang family has always sent news that Erya is doing well and is treated like their own daughter, and the villagers all believed it. But who would have thought that she escaped home last night, her body was so emaciated that only a skeleton remained, and her whole body was covered with unhealed scars. She cried and said that if she hadn't escaped from the Wang family, she would have died long ago!"
"The third brother and his wife were very distressed and decided to keep their daughter at home. Erya was still young and her marriage had not been arranged yet, so this was an opportunity. However, the Wang family refused to give up. Erya's mother-in-law even moved her family over. They came to the house early in the morning and were determined to take Erya back by force!"
On the side, the little girl's cheek was being gently wiped by her mother. Hearing this tense plot, her eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light. She tightly held her mother's hand, looked firmly in the direction of the Zhang family's old house, and shouted anxiously and confidently.
"Go save my second sister. She is in danger. Mother, you must help her escape from the clutches of the devil!"
In Xiao Youniang's mind, the scene of her mother punishing those who bullied the Zhang family was vivid. Even the most naughty children in the village were obedient in front of her mother.
In her eyes, her mother is the most powerful being in the world. Even her father, who is often praised as the "God of Wealth", has to bow down to her mother and rank second.
In the village caressed by dust, Xu Liyun, the "superhero" in Xiao Youniang's eyes, frowned as she faced the twists and turns in Zhang Erya's fate.
She had a natural aversion to injustice in the world, and even without the young girl's immature and urgent request, her sense of justice would not allow her to turn a blind eye to this obvious injustice.
So, when her role as a mother drove her to confirm her daughter's feelings, Xu Liyun asked gently but with a hint of playfulness: "Young lady, do you really like Second Sister?"
The little girl nodded her head so fast that others thought it was a perpetual motion machine: "Second sister, second sister is really good! She would give me sweet cakes when others weren't paying attention, and she would also braid my hair carefully, making me feel like a princess in a story!"
However, what is little known is that Xiao Youniang has a photographic memory. Even the most blurry year of her life is as clear as yesterday in her heart.
At that time, she was still in her infancy and lacked the warm embrace of her parents. Even her grandparents were too old to take care of her. It was Zhang Erya, the gentle and tough big sister, who always held the little girl tightly in her arms.
As the pressure of making a living for the family became increasingly heavy, Xiao Youniang was unable to share the housework due to her young age, so her grandmother often punished her by reducing her food intake.
Whenever this happened, Zhang Erya would calmly divide her share into two halves, and even if she was hungry, she would make sure her sister had her fill.
The two of them relied on each other in the corner of Zhang's house.
However, happiness is always short-lived.
When Xiao Youniang was about to celebrate her second birthday, her second sister was forced to leave home and marry far away.
That day, the crying of little You Niang tore through the tranquility of the early morning. It was the gentle words of her second sister and the seemingly unattainable promise of a return date that finally made her let go of her tightly clenched hand.
Since then, the words "I'll sell you if you don't behave" have lingered in the little girl's mind like a curse.
Fortunately, the appearance of Xu Liyun and the second son of the Zhang family brought a ray of long-lost sunshine into Xiao Youniang's world. With their selfless love, they made the little girl feel the warmth and security of home.
