Chapter 64: Relocation of household registration and job arrangements
"No...don't...I'm a money-loser, my daughter is a money-loser, we're all money-losers."
The stepmother's face turned pale with fright. She no longer dared to be stubborn and read out the words obediently.
"Behave yourself from now on, or don't blame me for taking action against your daughter. There are so many men on the farm. I can just pick a few to take care of your daughter. If I spread the word, your daughter might not even be able to marry a blind old man!"
Luo Xinxin's smile was particularly cold. Daya and Erya had both been harassed by the men on the farm. If Daya hadn't been so strong, the sisters' innocence would have been lost long ago.
The stepmother loves her daughter and treats her stepdaughter as worthless as grass, so let her also taste the feeling of having her daughter ruined.
"No, I don't dare..."
The stepmother felt that Luo Xinxin was not joking, and that this female Zhong Kui could really do it. She was so scared that her legs went weak.
Luo Xinxin smiled and asked again: "Let me ask you again, who is the one who lost money?"
"It was me and my daughter, not Da Ya and Er Ya. I was wrong. I will never call them money-losing goods again..."
The stepmother cried and begged for mercy. Although her husband was a worker, she could not stand the evil spirit of this female Zhong Kui, and she did not dare to gamble with her daughter's innocence.
Luo Xinxin heard the sound of points being credited to her account in her head, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. She no longer had the patience to discipline her stepmother, and shouted, "Get out!"
Daya let go of her hand, and her stepmother's legs went weak and she fell to the ground. She used her hands and feet to get up, grabbed her son and ran away, not caring about her eldest son and Pang's father in the haystack.
Or maybe other people couldn't stand it anymore and got the two of them out.
Father Pang walked towards Daya and Erya, stopped in front of them, and looked at them with complicated eyes, a hint of guilt, but more of surprise.
He had just learned that his eldest daughter was so strong. He also thought that when he beat Daya and Erya in the past, he hit them particularly hard, but Daya never resisted. If this girl resisted, he would definitely not be able to beat her.
Daya and Erya looked at their father expressionlessly. There was hatred in Erya's eyes. She hated her stepmother, but she hated her biological father even more.
"When you live in someone else's house, be diligent and don't let people dislike you!"
Father Pang hesitated for a long time before saying this. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his two daughters' heads, but when his hand was about to touch them, the eldest and second daughters turned to the side at the same time and he missed them.
"We do so much work at home, and you still complain. From now on, you don't need to worry about me and my sister!"
Erya sneered. Father Pang's rare display of tenderness at this moment did not move her. It was just like tears from a mouse.
Father Pang's expression changed slightly, his eyes a little hurt. He sighed and defended himself, "Whose daughter doesn't want to work? I asked you to do some work and you're so picky. I, as your father, beat you a few times, and you still hold a grudge against me?"
"The cattle and horses on the farm do heavy work and need a good meal to replenish their energy. Daya and Erya do so much work at home every day, but there's no food or bed for them at home, and you, their father, often beat them to death to vent your anger!"
Luo Xinxin sneered a few times and continued, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but you, as her own father, wanted to beat your own daughter to death and even sold Daya to a fool's family to earn the bride price. You are worse than an animal. But even so, Daya never laid a hand on you. She could have killed you with one punch, but she didn't. That's because Daya is loyal and filial!"
"You are such a jerk as a father! Even if you dislike your daughter, you can't beat her to death!"
After listening to this for a few times, Old Lady Luo couldn't help but retort.
Although she favors boys over girls, she does not abuse her granddaughter. She is much kinder than Daya's father.
Luo Xinxin rolled her eyes at her and said in Shanghai dialect, "You and him are the same, so don't criticize each other."
"I'm not as cruel as him."
Old Mrs. Luo replied angrily.
The people looked at Pang's father with strange eyes. It turned out that Da Ya and Er Ya roasted field mice in the mountains every day because there was no food at home. They thought that these two girls were not very smart!
If this is true, Father Pang has indeed gone too far and deserves to be scolded!
After being scolded by Luo Xinxin, Pang's father felt more pain on his face than if it was burning. He was too embarrassed to stay and fled in panic.
The others also went back home.
"Don't bother with them if you see them next time."
Luo Xinxin instructed.
"knew."
Daya and Erya nodded. They didn't want to pay any attention to that family.
Another dreamless night. At six o'clock in the morning, the long bell rang on time. It was rung by the mine director himself. The bell could be heard throughout the farm, reminding everyone that it was time to get up and work.
Breakfast was noodle dumpling soup cooked by Luo Xinxin. The soup was made with tomatoes and eggs. It tasted very good, at least better than the barnyard millet porridge in the cafeteria.
After dinner, Luo Xinxin went to see Director Lei to discuss the matter of relocating Da Ya and Er Ya’s household registration.
"Two girls, one fifteen and one thirteen, why do they need to transfer their household registration?"
Director Lei shook his head vigorously, saying that he was not old enough and could not open an account on his own.
"Rules are dead, but people are alive. Just change Daya's age to eighteen."
Luo Xinxin came up with an idea. Since the management in this area is very lax now, many rural girls change their age to make it easier for them to get married.
"Director, what kind of life are Daya and Erya leading? Go ask around. Even pigs and dogs live better than them. You're the farm's parent official. If you don't take care of them, how are they supposed to survive? Their father and stepmother are even more cruel than Zhou Paopi. In my opinion, such vicious people shouldn't be allowed to stay on the farm!"
Luo Xinxin had no good feelings towards Pang's father. A man who couldn't even protect his own daughter was a waste of food and air. He might as well be used to fertilize the fields.
"It's not right to interfere in other people's family affairs. Besides, he is the biological father, and there is no way he would harm his daughter."
Director Lei really didn't think that Da Ya and Er Ya had a hard life. After all, he had also gone through such a hard time when he was a child.
"Director, are your eyes just for show? Didn't you see that Daya and Erya are severely malnourished? They're also bullied by the men on the farm. If Daya hadn't been so strong, their innocence would have been gone long ago..."
Luo Xinxin was furious. She hated these people the most for talking without thinking. They had seen with their own eyes that the two sisters were having a hard time, but no one was willing to lend a hand.
The mine supervisor frowned and asked, "What innocence is lost?"
Luo Xinxin told her about Sun Si'er bullying Daya, and about several other men, all from the farm. Fortunately, those men just touched her and didn't go any further.
But this is not because they are kind, but because they cannot beat Daya.
"These beasts!"
Director Lei slammed the table angrily. Such a hooligan thing happened right under his nose. It hurt more than a slap in the face.
He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is this why you arrested Sun Si'er?"
"Yes, he bullied Daya in the cornfield that day."
Luo Xinxin nodded with a cold expression.
Director Lei felt very guilty. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll have someone set up a separate household for Daya and find her a job on the farm. What kind of work do you think would be suitable for her?"
"Daya is very strong, the security department is perfect for her."
Luo Xinxin blurted out that Daya was slow to react, so it would be safer to keep her by her side. Besides, with Daya around, she could save a lot of effort.
