Chapter 490: Sins Under the Sun (6)
Ning Huanxin didn't know whether her guess was correct, but she had to trick Yu Meihua.
Perhaps Yu Tiantian’s death was too much of a blow to her, or perhaps... Yu Meihua felt that nothing mattered anymore.
Hearing Ning Huanxin's words, she couldn't help but laugh with a complicated expression: "Yes, Huang Yishan's death was Tiantian's fault. She was still young and ignorant at that time. In order to make more money and support our family, I had to go out to work with my husband and leave the child to my parents-in-law. But they disliked Tiantian for being a girl, and often beat and scolded the child, or just ignored her. The child lacked love and proper education, so it was natural that she would easily do wrong things."
Yu Meihua will never forget the phone call she suddenly received when she was working in the city.
"Meihua, please come back soon! Your Tiantian... is in trouble!"
Yu Meihua really thought it was a prank by a relative at the time, but...she heard her mother-in-law's scolding and her child's heart-wrenching cries on the phone.
Yu Meihua did not dare to delay and immediately found her husband who was still working at the construction site, and the two of them hurried back to their hometown.
Their hometown is a very remote village with underdeveloped transportation and backward thinking.
When Yu Meihua and her husband returned home, they saw Tiantian, who was beaten all over. After listening to the villagers' narration, Yu Meihua learned that Tiantian and her cousin's daughter had fought over a toy, and she pushed the child into the river. The child was Huang Yishan, who was one and a half years younger than Tiantian.
Girls in that village were considered "value-added goods", but Huang Yishan's parents still refused to give in. Yu Meihua's parents-in-law had already beaten Tiantian, but the villagers and relatives refused to let them go.
Because everyone in the village knew that Yu Meihua and her husband made money working in the city, everyone was jealous and envious.
Another reason is that Yu Meihua is beautiful. Even though she can only do dirty and tiring work in the city because of her lack of education and knowledge, when she returns to the village, she is still many times more beautiful than those rural women who work hard in the fields.
People in the countryside get married early, and Yu Meihua was only in her twenties at that time, which was the best age.
So...after this happened at home, someone soon set their sights on Yu Meihua.
That memory is the one Yu Meihua least wants to recall.
She felt sick and hopeless.
In order to pay less money, her husband and her parents-in-law actually offered to let her out... to exchange her beauty for money!
When she refused, her husband took it out on Tiantian!
"No one knows what Tiantian and I have been through. An unintentional mistake may lead to a tragedy that can never be undone in a lifetime."
Yu Meihua didn't cry, probably because she had shed all her tears.
"Later, I escaped with Tiantian. The child became very timid and afraid of strangers. I could only take her to live in a place with few people and find the best psychologist to treat her. But... I have no ability and no education. How can I support her?"
Yu Meihua smiled self-deprecatingly: "I can only do that job, a job in the dark. I know that from now on, I will never be able to hold my head up high and live in darkness. But I don't mind. I just want my daughter to live in the sun!"
She doesn't mind how dirty or disgusting she is, she hopes Tiantian can come out of the shadows.
Tiantian did something wrong, but is she the only one responsible for this tragedy?
Is it justice to put such a heavy responsibility on a child?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
