Lu Yuwei was holding an unconscious boy of three or four years old, his eyes were as red as a rabbit's.

The unconscious child was as thin as a bamboo pole. His loose clothes could accommodate another person. His shirt and pants had holes in them, revealing red scratches. This child was the third child, Lu Haojie.

Xia Yingying walked forward and wanted to hug Lu Haojie. Lu Yuwei shrank back in fear, fearing that she would be beaten again. She hugged Lu Haojie tightly and did not let Xia Yingying get close. Her crystal tears fell to the ground like beads.

Xia Yingying sighed, stopped and asked, "How is your brother?"

Lu Yuwei raised her red and swollen eyes, which were filled with poison.

"It's you, you evil woman, you liar, don't pretend, it's you who sold Arou out, Ajie told me everything before he fainted, bring Arou back, bring her back... wuwu..."

After saying that, Lu Yuwei curled up into a ball, covered her face and burst into tears.

Xia Yingying was confused by Lu Yuwei's accusations.

Wasn't she poisoned to death by two villains? How could she have time to sell her child? She was more wronged than Sister Dou E!

However, the original owner did plan to sell Lu Yurou, and it was her best friend who helped her find a buyer, who offered ten taels of silver, but the transaction would be done three days later.

"I..." Xia Yingying was about to explain.

Lu Haojie, who had just sent Lu Haojie back to the house, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Stepmother, from now on, you can ask me to do anything you want. Please don't send Ah Rou away. I will eat less from now on... No, I won't eat, I will only work. Please bring Ah Rou back, okay?"

Lu Yuwei also knelt down, and the brother and sister kowtowed to Xia Yingying. They heard the sound of their heads hitting the floor heavily. Xia Yingying felt a headache and hurried forward to help them up.

Oh my God, the original owner was such an inhuman beast. Look what he had done to that poor little thing.

Seeing that Xia Yingying did not agree, the brother and sister did not stop. Xia Yingying directly pressed their heads down and said, "If you don't get up, how can you come with me to find Ah Rou?"

Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei just got up. There was a big swelling on their forehead, and the skin was broken. The bright red blood was particularly eye-catching.

The two children were as skinny as two little mice and huddled together.

Xia Yingying couldn't help but frowning. Alas, she couldn't get rid of the image of a vicious stepmother now.

After Lu Yuwei stood up, she gently patted the dust off her skirt and said weakly, "I'll go with my stepmother."

Xia Yingying thought about it and said decisively: "Haoran, come with me. We have a long way to go. You stay at home to take care of Ajie."

Lu Yuwei looked at her eldest brother and agreed when she saw him nod.

Xia Yingying targeted the original owner's good friend Li Cuihua as her target for selling the child. She was the only one in the whole village who had a motive for committing the crime, so she took Lu Haoran to Li Cuihua's house to find Lu Yurou's whereabouts.

As soon as she opened the door, a figure flashed in front of her and pounced on her.

The person who came exuded a foul smell, which made Xia Yingying feel nauseous. She raised her hand and pushed the person who bumped into her away.

The figure swayed and shouted at the top of his voice: "Which slut dared to push me!"

Xia Yingying frowned, fanned the air to dissipate the strange smell, and looked at the person who came.

The woman was short and plump, with sallow skin and freckles all over her face. She was wearing a half-new satin dress and looked to be around 19 years old.

His greasy hair was particularly shiny in the sun. When he opened his mouth, his uneven buck teeth were exposed. His bulbous nose was red, which looked a bit funny.

Xia Yingying frowned and recalled for a moment before realizing that this person was the original owner's good friend - Li Cuihua.

Li Cuihua is of the same character as the original owner, lazy and greedy, and loves to take advantage of any small opportunity.

The original owner was able to successfully marry Lu Ziren thanks to Li Cuihua’s efforts behind the scenes.

Li Cuihua also frequently came to the original owner's house to "borrow things", but although it was called borrowing, the things borrowed were never returned.

After Li Cuihua stopped, she glared at Lu Haoran and pulled Xia Yingying to the well with a smile. She took out a worn linen purse from her sleeve and put it in Xia Yingying's hand.

Xia Yingying looked up at the purse in her hand in surprise.

Li Cuihua rarely gave anything to the original owner. Usually, she didn't like what she gave. This contained money, and it was quite heavy! The sun rose from the west?

Xia Yingying put the purse into her sleeve. The smell of Li Cuihua was too pungent. She held her breath, took several steps back, and then gasped for breath.

Seeing Xia Yingying avoiding her, Li Cuihua raised her triangular eyes and said aggrievedly: "Yingying, we are good friends, why do you dislike me coming?"

Xia Yingying panted and patted her chest. She wanted to ask about the child first, but she was dizzy from the smoke and couldn't help but blurt out: "Li Cuihua, how long have you not taken a bath?"

Li Cuihua inserted her stubby fingers into her oily hair and scratched it. "It's not been long, just a month. You know, taking a bath wastes water and wastes wood. My family is not like yours. We have a well and a few kids for you to use."

The last sentence has an upturned ending, which adds a sense of sarcasm.

"We are good sisters. Look, I specially sent you money. Are you happy?" Li Cui was a careless person and did not hold on to her grievance for long. She pointed to the purse in Xia Yingying's hand.

"Don't worry, that family is very satisfied with your kid. They even gave him an extra string of coins." Li Cuihua lowered her voice and said proudly.

What! Li Cuihua sold her child!

Xia Yingying felt like being struck by lightning, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her whole body felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.

A sweet little girl's voice came from my ear: [Add sixty to the hatred value, the current total hatred value is negative two hundred and sixty. ]
