Thinking that San Ya might still be waiting for him behind, Lin Ran became a little anxious and wanted to go find someone quickly.
Shi Yan didn't care about these people's attitudes at all. He just wanted to go back and take a shower and change clothes. It was too uncomfortable to be wet all over.
When Shen Wenfang saw Shi Yan was about to leave, she didn't bother to go forward to help her son argue with those people. She took the brother and sister and wanted to go and thank them in person.
But Lin Ran was worried about San Ya at the time, and thought that Shen Wenfang and Lin Lao San would go to Shi Yan to express their gratitude.
He handed the basket of wild vegetables and mushrooms to Lin Laosan.
She knew that there were no good things at home, so for the time being she could only use these as a thank you gift.
Lin Ran said hello to Shen Wenfang and went to find San Ya.
Shen Wenfang didn't think much about it. She was still in a hurry to catch up with Shi Yan, so she followed Lin Ran.
…
When Lin Ran quickly walked to the outermost edge of the crowd, she saw Zheng Sanya squatting in the corner with her hands on her knees. Her little face was staring at the direction of the crowd in panic, and she looked like a puppy abandoned by its owner.
The moment she saw Lin Ran appear, Zheng Sanya couldn't hold back her tears and they streamed down.
"Sister Ranran..."
Lin Ran walked up to her, rubbed her head, and comforted her softly:
"Your brother is fine, don't worry. Do you remember what I taught you just now? Go now, don't be afraid."
Zheng Sanya had just heard the news that her brother had woken up, and she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that even if she was beaten, she would not be beaten to death.
Hearing Lin Ran's words at this time, she nodded obediently.
"Sister Ranran, I remember it."
After saying that, she took a deep breath and followed the method Lin Ran had taught her before.
He tore his clothes into several rips, rolled on the ground, and finally smeared mud on his forehead. Then he rushed into the crowd crying and shouting:
"Brother, you finally woke up!"
"I just came back from cutting grass for the pigs and was shocked to hear that you were in trouble. Fortunately, you are okay, otherwise what would happen to our family? Wow wow wow..."
“…”
Zheng Sanya cried all the way to Jinbao, talking non-stop.
To be honest, this level of crying is still a big challenge for a weak little white flower like Zheng Sanya.
Although she tried her best to avoid being beaten to death, her voice was still not loud enough, but fortunately it was still barely audible to the people around her.
Aunt Zheng got furious when she saw Zheng Sanya.
"Where were you just now, you damn girl? Don't you know to keep an eye on your brother? Do you know that your brother was almost killed by you?"
Zheng Sanya was so scared that she burst into tears, but she did not forget what Lin Ran taught her.
"Mom, I have to go cut grass for the pigs this morning to earn work points, and don't you ask me to dig wild vegetables and pick mushrooms every day?"
"I wanted Jinbao to go with me, but he refused. I thought my eldest sister would be at home and could watch over him, so I went up the mountain without any worries."
"I don't know why he came here to play. Mom, I was wrong. Please don't hit me. I won't dare to do it again!"
"As soon as I heard the news that Jinbao was in trouble, I ran to kowtow to God."
"I beg God to let Jinbao come back. I am willing to exchange my life for it. As long as Jinbao wakes up, it doesn't matter if I die."
"Mom, God must have heard my prayers and released Jinbao back."
Aunt Zheng spat:
"Don't flatter yourself. Our Jinbao is a lucky man, so how could anything happen to him?"
"On the contrary, you are a jinx. Maybe it's you who caused Jinbao to fall into the water! And you dare to blame your elder sister! I will beat you to death, you jinx!"
As he said this, he waved his hand at Zheng Sanya.
Zheng Sanya fell to the ground, her body covered in bruises and purple scars visible through the holes, while she held her head and begged for mercy:
"Mom, please stop hitting me. Sanya's body hurts so much. Sanya is dying of pain!"
"Mom, I will work hard to earn work points for the family. I won't even drink the water used to wash the pot. I will go out and eat dirt to save food for the family. Please don't hit me, it hurts so much! Waaaaa..."
Even the onlookers couldn't bear to watch Zheng Sanya's miserable condition. They were talking about it, but Aunt Zheng was completely indifferent.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed:
"Oh my god, look at the injuries on Sanya's body. Are they all from being beaten? Is this still her biological mother? If you don't know, you would think there's some deep hatred between them!"
Some people lamented:
"Oh, you don't know, my house is next to the Zheng family, and I can hear San Ya crying almost every day. The child is beaten almost every day, and is often locked outside the door in the middle of the night. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and see the child sleeping on the floor at the door."
Everyone looked incredulous.
"Oh my god, Sanya is so pitiful! Sister Zheng is so cruel! Does Accountant Zheng know about this? Why doesn't she do anything about Sanya?"
The person next to him said disdainfully:
"How could they not know since we live together? And look, Sister Zheng has been fighting for a while now, has Accountant Zheng ever said anything to try to stop her? Maybe some of these injuries were caused by Accountant Zheng!"
Some people don't believe it.
"Impossible? Accountant Zheng seems to have a good temper and is always smiling at everyone he meets. It's impossible for him to resort to violence, right? Looking at Sister Zheng's behavior, I guess even Accountant Zheng can't persuade her."
When those who understood heard this, they looked at each other and laughed.
Zheng Sanya's screams continued, and finally a woman relented and advised:
"Mrs. Zheng, just give her a little lesson. Besides, Sanya is not to blame for what happened today. She is such a good child! She knows how to help ease the burden on the family at such a young age."
"You don't know how many people in the team envy you. You have such a caring little cotton-padded jacket. You can just wait to enjoy the happiness in the future!"
Someone started it, and others followed suit:
"Yes, Sister Zheng, the child needs to earn work points every day. If you hurt the child, you will have to see a doctor and won't earn any work points. It's not worth it!"
After hearing this, Aunt Zheng finally hesitated.
She glanced at Zheng Sanya who was lying on the ground dying. If she really knocked her down, who would do the housework at home?
In fact, this time Aunt Zheng was concerned about the presence of others outside, so she didn't hit her hard. Zheng San Ya's weak look was completely fake.
Seeing that her mother actually stopped, Zheng Sanya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the beating she just received, it was just a drizzle compared to the previous ones, so she didn't feel much pain.
But she was afraid that her mother would stop beating her temporarily and would beat her to death when she got home.
Thinking of this, Zheng Sanya felt desperate. She felt that her future was dark and there was no hope at all.
Sometimes she even doubted whether she was her parents' biological child. Why did she alone among the four children in the family be abused?
Even outsiders will feel sorry for me, but my relatives are even worse than outsiders.
