"Ah! Are you awake?"

The nurse who was about to come over for the examination was very surprised to see Lin Siya's eyes open.

"Can you hear me?"

Lin Siya nodded.

"Then lie down for a while. I'll go call the doctor now."

The nurse quickly left the ward to call the doctor.

Soon, the doctor came and after carefully examining Lin Siya, he determined that her injury required her to be hospitalized for a week.

"Doctor, who sent me here?"

Some of your neighbors brought you here, but your family has been here too."

"What about my family?"

The doctor and the nurse looked at each other and shook their heads. The little girl was so pitiful that she was abused like this.

After the doctor left, the nurse gave her another bottle of water, the main function of which was to reduce inflammation.

"Are you hungry? Do you want me to buy you something to eat?"

"I, I don't have any money." Lin Siya said pitifully.

The nurse also sighed silently, but finally couldn't bear to see her starve, so she went to make her a bowl of millet porridge.

"Comrade Nurse, this is too precious. I can't accept it."

"Hey, eat first. You should take care of your body first."

After hearing what the nurse said, she didn't know if it was her natural emotions that were at work, but tears rolled down Lin Siya's eyes.

"Comrade Nurse, you are the best person to me in this world besides my parents. Since my parents died, I haven't eaten millet porridge again."

After hearing what Lin Siya said, the young nurse felt even more sympathetic towards her, and at the same time, she despised the Lin family even more.

Lin Siya was really hungry. After being busy all night, the little food she had taken earlier had already been digested.

The brown sugar in the millet porridge tasted sweet. She drank all the millet porridge in a lunch box in one breath, and still felt a little unsatisfied.

While Lin Siya was unconscious again, two police officers were also investigating. After seeing the injuries on Lin Siya's body, they were also very shocked.

"My dear police officers, this patient is truly blessed. Besides the wound on the back of her head, she has sustained several serious injuries, including broken ribs and legs. The extent of these injuries goes beyond the level of childcare and constitutes complete abuse. Furthermore, I heard from our nurses that this patient is the relative of a martyr. The people currently claiming to be this girl's relatives don't seem to have a close relationship with her. Therefore, I hope you two police officers can conduct a thorough investigation."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

After the two police officers came out of the office, they looked at each other. If the situation was really as they speculated, then this matter would not be a simple family dispute or a matter of adults educating their children, but would rise to another level.

After all, according to this girl, her parents are martyrs. If the children of martyrs are abused for a long time, then the person who abused her must be held criminally responsible.

Two police officers quickly came into the ward and saw Lin Siya waking up again.

"Comrade Lin Siya, can we ask you more about the situation?"

"Can!"

Lin Yaya struggled to get up from the bed, and then told him what she had heard: Lin Fucai and his wife wanted to sell her to the stupid son of Director He of the textile factory in exchange for a betrothal gift of 500 yuan. She also said that if Director He did not like her, then she would have to go to the countryside in place of his children in exchange for a subsidy.

"Comrade Public Security, they are not my real family. My parents are orphans. They died when I was five years old while trying to save the property of the textile factory. Later, when they came up, they told the leaders of the textile factory that they were my great-aunts. I don't know why those leaders of the textile factory believed them.

Our house, my parents' jobs, and their pensions were all taken away by my cousin's wife. I was young at that time and didn't know what was going on. I thought they were my real family.

But that night, I heard them say they weren't my aunts or cousins, and I didn't hear who they were specifically. I just wanted to ask, in my current situation, could they sell me to someone else in exchange for a betrothal gift? At school, I heard our teacher say that freedom of marriage is important these days. Is that true?

Seeing the expectant look in the little girl's eyes, the two police officers were speechless for a moment.

The amount of information the little girl provided was really too much. As public security officers who have been handling cases for a long time, they could sense that there was something fishy going on.

Lin Siya said this to the police after careful consideration. She had been thinking for a long time, wondering why Lin Fucai and his wife had taken over the original owner's parents' job so easily, and why the original owner's parents' house and pension had fallen into their hands so easily. Lin Siya didn't believe it if it wasn't the work of some people in the textile factory.

The two police officers asked very detailed questions, and Lin Siya also told them everything about the original owner's life in the hands of the Lin family from childhood to adulthood.

As for why he was abused for so many years but the neighbors around him didn't notice anything, we have to say that it was the Lin family's methods.

When they beat Lin Siya, they always covered the original owner's mouth. Sometimes when they beat Lin Siya so hard that she couldn't get out of bed, they never sent her to see a doctor and let her fend for herself. It can be said that the original owner was really lucky.

When the child occasionally cries, parents will tell others that the child is disobedient. Nowadays, it is very normal for parents to beat and scold their disobedient children.

Of course, there are some neighbors who live nearby and know some of the truth, but so what? Everyone is having a hard time now, and the best we can do is help privately, nothing more.

Another thing is that the Lin family came later, but they always behaved very kindly in public, and they also treated the original owner very well. After all, not every girl can go to school until high school, which made some neighbors who did not know the truth think that the Lin family treated the original owner well.

Lin Siya and the public security authorities emphasized that she had only been able to eat one steamed bun a day, and when she was extremely hungry, she would dig up wild vegetables to eat.

Regarding the point about digging wild vegetables, several neighbors in the surrounding area can testify that when the original owner was digging wild vegetables, he claimed to others that he was digging them to feed the chickens at home, but in fact, the original owner ate them himself. As for why he didn't dare to tell his neighbors, it was because the original owner had been threatened by the Lin family since he was a child. As long as there were any bad rumors about the Lin family outside, Lin Fucai and his wife would beat the original owner even harder.

After questioning, the two police officers said they would go back and conduct a thorough investigation. Seeing how pitiful Lin Siya was, they left some money and gave it to the doctors and nurses.
