"Life-saving grace? You have the nerve to say life-saving grace, what kind of life-saving grace did Big Brother give to our family?
My eldest brother went to rescue my son Heizi, but he was still kidnapped by the bad guys.
You still have the nerve to mention my Heizi, give me back my Heizi! Wuwuwu..."
As she spoke, she slapped the girl a few more times. The woman held the girl tightly in her arms and was unable to fight back. Her face soon became red and swollen, and blood appeared at the corners of her mouth.
The girl in the woman's arms saw her mother being beaten, and when the mean woman reached out her hand again, she bit her arm fiercely.
"ah……"
The mean woman screamed and reached out to slap the girl, but was blocked by the girl's mother.
"Let me go, you money-loser, let me go..." The mean woman tried to save herself but failed, and her hand hurt so much that she could only ask for help from the man behind her.
"Boss, save me! This little bitch is about to bite my hand off."
The man seemed to have just reacted and quickly squatted down to pull the girl.
However, the girl bit her lips so hard that the man couldn't get her to let go for a while.
Seeing his wife screaming in pain, the man pulled the girl's mother away with one hand and slapped the girl hard in the face with the other hand.
With a "pa..." sound, the girl and her mother were slapped to the ground.
"Hey, come on! How can you hit my face like that? My little face won't be worth so much money if it's damaged." The heavily made-up old woman at the side said in a coquettish voice, waving her silk handkerchief.
The man hurried forward, bowing and apologizing, and lied with his eyes open, "I'm sorry, ma'am. I was holding back. I'm sure I can't hurt her. This girl is very tough. She'll be fine after two days of rest."
The old woman twisted her waist and stepped forward to take a look. She was relieved to see that the girl's face was just a little red and swollen and not disfigured.
He waved his hand towards the back and said, "Alright, give the silver and take the person away quickly. We still have to hurry and find a few more girls!"
After saying that, a big man behind her took out some small change from his purse and threw it to the girl's uncle.
Seeing this, the mother and daughter on the ground were immediately disheartened. At this point, the girl's mother knew that begging them was useless and cursed the whole family fiercely.
"You are such a black-hearted, heartless bunch of people. You treat my daughter so badly. Sooner or later, you will go to hell and die a miserable death..."
The mean woman was about to approach her husband with the silver when she saw him, but she heard her widow sister-in-law cursing. She remembered the vengeance of being bitten just now and became even more furious. She rushed over and pointed at her nose and cursed:
"This damn old bitch gave birth to a shameless money-loser, and she still dares to act so arrogantly. I'm going to sell this little bitch today, what can you do to me?
I tell you, now that Heizi is gone, your little whore won’t have an easy life either.
As for your family's money-losing goods, they will belong to someone else sooner or later anyway. Selling them to Yingchunlou as soon as possible to exchange for silver to save our family's livelihood is also a blessing for her, and it can be regarded as compensation for Big Brother's failure to save our Heizi. "
"Bah!" The woman on the ground spat at her.
"Heizi is your son. When the villains came, you two were both so scared of death. My head of the family risked his life to save your son, but not only did he lose his life, but in the end, you two heartless people also degraded his wife and daughter.
Boss, open your eyes and look! You've raised two ungrateful wolves! Why are you so foolish as to run into someone's knife?
Now not only does she not appreciate your kindness, she also wants to sell your daughter. How are we going to survive?"
The woman's cries did not gain much sympathy from the refugees.
However, when many people saw the girl's uncle get the silver, their eyes flickered as they looked at the girls around them.
The girls' mother seemed to realize something and subconsciously held her children tightly.
The heavily made-up old woman left a strong man to hand over the matter to the girl's uncle, and then took her people to other places.
Soon, crying and shouting were heard not far away.
"Let's find a place to stop and rest." Tian An looked at the farce here, rubbed his brows in annoyance, and spoke to the outside of the carriage.
Upon receiving the order, the soldier led his troops to a place a little further away from the refugee group and ordered the guards to impose martial law.
"What's wrong?" After the carriage stopped, Zhao Yiming turned his head to look at Tian An, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Tian An shook his head and pointed at the old woman moving among the refugees in front of him. "That old woman doesn't look like a good person at first glance. It's probably not a good thing for her to buy the little girl back!"
Zhao Yiming looked in the direction she pointed and said casually, "The madam of Yingchun Tower is indeed not a good person."
"Yingchunlou? The madam?" Tian An squinted at him. "How do you know? Have you been there?"
Zhao Yiming paused, then quickly retracted his gaze and said, "No."
"Then..." Tian An stared at him closely, giving him a chance to explain.
Zhao Yiming said he cherished this opportunity and quickly explained, "I received a post before and only found out what the place was when I went there. I came back right away."
Tian An squinted at him, examining the truth in his words.
Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard Xiaokang beside her ask curiously, "Sister, what is Yingchunlou? What is a madam? Why doesn't brother-in-law Yiming go there?"
Tian An immediately turned around and glared at him, "Not only him, you are not allowed to go either."
Xiao Qi asked blankly, "Can my sister go?"
"No." Zhao Yiming spoke first.
Tian An glanced at him before righteously admonishing him, "You two, remember this: none of us can go to that kind of place."
"What kind of place is that?" The two little ones became more and more curious as they listened.
Tian An glared at Zhao Yiming, blaming him for bringing it up.
But it was difficult to explain to the two little ones, so I could only say what the children hated to hear the most, "That place is a sinful place, you will understand when you grow up."
Faced with Tian An's complaints, Zhao Yiming could only touch his nose awkwardly and change the subject.
"You want to save that girl?"
Tian An nodded hesitantly, "If you go into a place like that, your life will be ruined."
Even in the modern world, a girl who strayed into such a place would be unacceptable to the world, let alone in this era of rampant dogma.
Tian An has been an orphan since childhood and has suffered a lot. It is because he has been caught in the rain that he wants to hold an umbrella for others even more.
She is not a saint. If she has not encountered such a person, it is fine. The world is so big and she cannot control so much. But if she encounters such a person, she will always try her best to help him.
However, in a place like the capital, the relationships are complicated and anyone who can open a Yingchunlou in the capital may have some unknown force behind him.
Tian Mingwu was an official in the court and didn't understand the twists and turns. She was afraid that her actions would affect some big boss's interests and cause him trouble, which would be bad if she got into trouble.
