"What?"
Hearing Jiang Li's words, Jiang Wan looked up suddenly.
"Sister, I just came back from the village and heard people talking about how Sister Xiaoyun's biological father and stepmother sold her to Liu Guanggun from the next village as a wife! She's going to be sent away tomorrow!"
The voice did not come from Jiang Wan, but from Su Yun who was standing beside her.
Everyone knows Liu Guanggun from the next village. He's a scoundrel, almost forty years old, and still has no wife. Xiaoyun is about the same age as Wanwan...
Liu Guanggun can be her father, how can Zhang Chunlai and Yang Hua bear to let him go?
Su Yun simply couldn't understand how parents could be so cruel?
Yang Hua is also a cruel person. Although Xiaoyun is not her biological daughter, she has been with her for several years after all. She has feelings for her even though she is like a dog.
But what about her?
"Mom, I'm going out for a while—"
After saying this, Jiang Wan turned around and ran out without even having time to tidy up her clothes.
Seeing this, Su Yun quickly asked Jiang Li to follow.
If she went out alone and encountered any problems, she would have no one to turn to for help.
Jiang Wan hurried to Zhang's house, but their door was locked tightly.
She knocked on the door for a while, but there was no movement from inside.
"Sister——"
Jiang Li ran over and saw Jiang Wan standing in front of Zhang's door. He couldn't help but feel worried.
"Sister, Sister Xiaoyun must have been locked up at home. I saw her parents sneak out of the house."
Jiang Wan frowned and her eyes fell on the Zhang family's courtyard.
"Xiaoyun, are you there?"
She didn't lower her voice, but the Zhang family's courtyard wall was higher than the wall in front of their thatched cottage, so she had to look up when speaking.
Zhang Xiaoyun, who was locked in the woodshed, heard the noise, got up from the ground, walked to the door, and responded loudly.
"Wanwan, I'm here! My dad locked me in the woodshed, and I can't get out now!"
Hearing her voice, Jiang Wan frowned.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to get in first."
"Sister, come in this way."
Jiang Li pointed at the wall in front of him. There was a layer of wooden stakes on the outside that he could step on to climb in.
After some effort, she finally entered Zhang's house and quickly ran to the woodshed.
"Xiaoyun, how are you?"
"Wanwan, I'm fine, but my father wants to marry me to that bachelor Liu from the neighboring village, and I...I don't want to—"
As she spoke, she actually started crying.
"Xiao Yun, don't cry yet. Things haven't been settled yet. We will definitely find a way."
Zhang Xiaoyun cried and shook her head.
"My father is determined to marry me off. Wanwan, I'm already very happy that I can see you again."
"Hurry up and leave, or my dad will come back and you won't be able to explain yourself—"
Her father is unreasonable and treats his own daughter like this. If he finds out that Jiang Wan sneaked into their house, he will definitely hold on to this matter.
"I know, but don't worry. I will definitely find a way to save you. You must wait for me at home."
"Yeah, okay."
"Sister, come out quickly, it seems someone is back——"
Jiang Li, who was outside the wall, hurried back from a distance, ran to the base of the wall, and whispered to Jiang Wan inside.
Jiang Wan gave Zhang Xiaoyun some final instructions before hurriedly standing up and crawling out.
"Sister, what can you do?"
On the way home, Jiang Li held it in for a while before deciding to turn around and ask Jiang Wan.
He didn't object to Jiang Wan saving people, but the premise was that she couldn't put herself in danger.
Although it is indeed heartless to think so, Zhang Xiaoyun had been very nice to him before.
But in his eyes, no one can compare to his elder sister.
"Xiaoyun's father wanted to marry her to Liu Guanggun just for the betrothal gift."
Ultimately, it’s all about money.
"But even if he had the money, Liu Guanggun would probably not give up."
They have all heard of Liu Guanggun's reputation over the years.
He was determined to find a wife, and someone had suggested a matchmaker to him before.
But not long after, his daughter-in-law died for no reason. He himself was not a good-tempered person and would beat people up at the slightest provocation.
Over time, no one was willing to marry their daughter to him.
It was even more impossible for Jiang Wan to watch Zhang Xiaoyun repeat the same mistakes.
In her previous life, Zhang Xiaoyun was also married to Liu Guanggun by Zhang Chunlai. However, she survived a disaster but was captured by Jiang Yue and sent to the military camp, where she worked as the lowest-ranking laundry maid and was eventually tortured to death.
"I know, so I still need your help, big brother."
She lowered her head and whispered a few words in Jiang Li's ear, and Jiang Li's eyes flashed slightly.
"Sister, don't worry."
Shen Qiwen walked over from a distance and saw Jiang Wan's cunning eyes.
"Brother Shen? Did you just come back?"
Looking at Shen Qiwen's dusty appearance, those who didn't know him would think he had run away somewhere, and his clothes were mostly dirty.
"Um."
Shen Qiwen noticed her gaze, pursed his lips, and took a step back without making a sound.
He could clearly see the flash of disdain in her eyes.
"I went out to do some things and just finished."
The implication was that something had gotten in his way and he had no time to clean himself up.
He loves cleanliness, but he just doesn't have time to take care of it.
"What did you ask Ali to do?"
Jiang Wan lowered her eyes and told him directly about Zhang Xiaoyun without hiding anything from him.
Although Shen Qiwen moved to Qingshan Village for a long time, he didn't care about these things before.
