"Just how?" Su Tai asked.
Chunxiang sighed, "Chunqin's mother gave birth to six daughters, and she was the third one. When she was just born, her father abused her and wouldn't let her mother breastfeed her. Her mother raised her secretly, but when she was two years old, her mother was about to give birth and couldn't take care of her. She was also afraid that her father would kill her, so she took her to the market and abandoned her.
I was hoping that a kindhearted person would take her home to raise her, but I didn't find that kindhearted person and instead, Rong Laosi and his gang took advantage of her.
Chun Xing was kidnapped just like me. It would have been fine if she had gone back a few years earlier, but now her parents are gone and her brothers are not willing to raise her. In addition, we were sold to a brothel and there was a lot of gossip in the village, so they couldn't tolerate her.
Dongri lost his parents when he was young and was raised by his eldest uncle, but his eldest aunt was unwilling to continue supporting him, so she sold him. Dongshan and Dongchuan were both abducted like me, but our families are not well off. Now they have to divide the family property when they go back. Their brothers are not happy about it, and their parents are helpless.
Dongfeng hasn’t found her parents yet, and Xiaoshiyi’s parents don’t acknowledge her as their daughter.
Besides them, there are also those poor girls in the brothels who are homeless.”
Su Tai frowned as she listened, and felt even more deeply for the poor people. She couldn't help but ask, "So what are their plans?"
Chunxiang looked back at them, also with a confused look on her face.
It must be Xu! Serving food to Chunqin and others, he also asked about this matter, "Children, what are you going to do next? Are you going to go back to your own homes?"
After Chunqin thanked He, she looked at Chunxiang with envy, then lowered her eyes and said slowly: "We just discussed it and decided not to go back. We plan to continue singing and support ourselves."
He was a little surprised, and also a little more serious. She sat down beside him and said, "Don't blame me for being nosy. I just wanted to ask what your plans are. If you need our help, just let me know."
"Thank you, Auntie." Chunqin was really moved, tears welled up in her eyes, but she still smiled and said, "We came out of the brothel and were not welcomed by our families. Now we can't adapt to farming life if we go back. It's better for us to continue to make a living by relying on our skills.
We have made up our minds that we will travel around Zhaohua County in the future. There are no other opera troupes here, and we are not afraid of anyone stealing our jobs. We will go wherever we are needed, and the world will be our home.”
Chunxiang hurried over.
Chunqin smiled at her with relief and said, "Sister Chunxiang, I was quite jealous of you because Rong Laosi and the others took a fancy to you. I always wanted to replace you and become the pillar of the stage. Now I can become the pillar without fighting. Don't you congratulate me?"
Chunxiang wiped the tears from her eyes, feeling very sad. "If you don't want to sing opera anymore, you can tell me. My father is the village chief. It will be easy for you to settle down in Shenjia Village."
Chunqin shook her head. "We have never worked on the farm since we were young. I am afraid that even if we let Dongri and his family farm, they won't be able to support themselves. Singing opera is our specialty, and we are confident about it."
Chunxiang saw that everyone had made up their minds and decided not to persuade them any further.
After the guests left, she thought for a moment and went to see Dong Feng alone, "Are you also planning to continue singing with Chun Qin and the others?"
Dong Feng got up and followed her to the river, throwing stones into the river from time to time, "Where else can I go if I don't follow them to sing opera? You all know where you came from, but I have no news. I don't even know who I am.
Chunxiang, congratulations, you can live an ordinary life in the future, with loving parents, brothers and sisters, and you can also find a good husband."
Having said this, Dongfeng suddenly couldn't continue and quickly turned his head to the other side.
Chunxiang just felt strange, but sighed repeatedly, "I am already very satisfied with having a family that loves me, as for getting married, I dare not even think about it."
In the past few days, she also felt some strange looks from the villagers. Even though everyone felt more sympathy and pity for her, they still cared about her experience. How could a good family choose her as their daughter-in-law?
Dong Feng turned around and said seriously: "Chun Xiang, you are very good, don't underestimate yourself."
"You don't understand. The village is different from the outside. Forget it, I won't say anything. As long as I am happy, that's all." Chunxiang is very open-minded.
But He was not as open-minded as her.
While Chunxiang was away, she was also whispering to Shen Ying about the child's lifelong affairs, "It's all the fault of those damn kidnappers. If it weren't for them, our girl wouldn't have to suffer so much!
I just told my sister-in-law about this, but no one responded. Although they didn't say it openly, they must be worried about our girl. Woohoo, old man, why is our child so miserable?"
Shen Ying also frowned, gritting his teeth in anger, "I think it's too easy for them to just send Rong Laosi and the others to the battlefield! People like that deserve to die ten thousand times! If they come back alive, I'm afraid I'll be so angry that I'll die!"
He said with a sullen face, "When we deliver the things to our son, let him know and ask him to help keep an eye on it. Also, as for Shen Yi, he is an official in the military camp, so he might not be able to help. We must not let those evildoers come back alive! No, I have to talk to Xiao Tai."
He was in a hurry and soon went to Su Tai's house.
After Su Tai learned her purpose, she readily agreed, "Chen Yi knows what those people did and will definitely not let them have an easy time, so don't worry, ma'am."
He was extremely grateful and spoke from the bottom of her heart, "Now that I have found my daughter, I have finally put my worries to rest. As long as I can find a good family for my child to marry into, I will be completely at ease."
"Auntie, it hasn't been long since you've decided on me as your son-in-law. I'm really impressed." Su Tai sighed from the bottom of her heart.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm telling you this before the fate is decided. Hey! I originally wanted to marry Chunxiang to my nephew from my mother's side. We are all family, and they won't treat my daughter badly. Who knew that my sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law didn't respond. I'm very worried now."
Su Tai was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "I thought you would like Dongfeng, but I didn't expect you would like your nephew."
"Winter wind? What do you mean?" He suddenly became excited.
This time it was Su Tai's turn to feel helpless. "Auntie, from the time the troupe came to the village until now, haven't you noticed that Dongfeng and Chunxiang are inseparable? I've only met them a few times, and Dongfeng was always there. And Dongfeng always listened to Chunxiang's words and followed her lead. I thought they were a couple!"
Su Tai was not just making this up; she saw it with her own eyes.
He fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a while, she stood up and was about to leave, "I have to go back and ask the child what's going on."
She was so busy worrying that she forgot to discuss it with her child. Damn it! (End of this chapter)
