"Zhou Jie, Zhou Yuan's younger sister, came to visit me."
"Hello, Aunt Yun."
Zhou Jie was also very eloquent, with a sweet voice. Yunniang already had a good impression of Zhou Yuan, and knowing that he was also Han Yuchen's relative, her attitude became even more enthusiastic.
"Daughter, just treat this place like your own home. Xue'er, you go out and have some fun with Zhou Jie."
Actually, there aren't many interesting places to visit in their village.
"I understand, Mother. Why are you back?"
Since everyone was at the farm, Han Luoxue also set up a simple stove there. Everyone would eat something casually at noon and have a proper meal when they came back in the evening.
Since they worked long hours, everyone went home to eat.
Yunniang finally had some peace and quiet.
"You haven't gone back yet, that's why I'm worried."
"Snow Girl".
An urgent voice came from inside, and Meng, the wife of Han Laoda, stumbled in.
"Snow Girl, I know that Chrysanthemum did some things wrong in the past, but she has already been punished. Please, save her."
As soon as Meng entered the door, she knelt down with a thud and burst into tears.
"Oh dear, sister-in-law, if you have something to say, get up and say it, don't kneel..."
Upon seeing Meng kneel down, Han Luoxue naturally took two steps back to avoid it, as she did not want to shorten her lifespan for no reason.
Yunniang stepped forward to help Meng up, but Meng remained kneeling and refused to get up.
"Alright, Aunt, tell me, what's wrong with Sister Chrysanthemum?"
After that incident, Chrysanthemum married someone from far away.
There shouldn't be any news, right?
"Little Xue, your Chrysanthemum sister has such a hard life."
Meng only had two children.
Her only daughter is having a hard time, while her family is doing well, so she wants to help her daughter.
"Sister-in-law, tell us! How can we help you if you don't tell us?"
Yunniang asked anxiously.
She was angry about what Han Juhua had done in the past, but so much time had passed, and now Xue'er and Yuchen were married and their child was about to be born. She didn't want to dwell on the past.
In any case, they are Yuan Ge's family.
“Yunniang, I heard it from them too. Juhua tried to commit suicide twice over there, and now her life is getting harder and harder.”
When Han Juhua married someone from afar, the man they found for her was quite old.
At the time, Meng thought that older men would be more considerate of women. Besides, without a mother-in-law, as long as Juhua was diligent, life shouldn't be too difficult.
But who knew that the man, who seemed alright on the outside, was actually a violent person at home. He loved to drink a little and then beat women.
Unfortunately, she lived too far from her parents' home, so even if Chrysanthemum wanted to run back, it would be impossible.
Besides, when they took the money, they said they were selling their daughter, not marrying her off. It was Old Lady Han's idea after all.
Not long after, Chrysanthemum became pregnant. Before she even realized it was three months along, the man beat her to death.
When the man found out, instead of comforting her, he said she was incompetent and couldn't even protect her own child.
Later, disregarding the fact that Juhua's body had not yet recovered, he had relations with her.
She hadn't even finished expelling her lochia.
That's how she damaged her health, and she hasn't been able to get pregnant since.
Han Luoxue was speechless. Han Juhua had only been married for a little over half a year, and so many things had already happened.
Besides, it's normal not to get pregnant for six months to a year after a miscarriage, right?
Besides, the child was beaten to death by the man, so how could he have the nerve to say that Han Juhua didn't protect the child?
"I just heard that the man cursed Chrysanthemum as a hen that doesn't lay eggs and said he was going to sell her."
this……
Han Luoxue and Zhou Jie were both stunned.
"Xue'er, I know you're capable. Please, save your cousin. We have some surplus food at home now, and I'm willing to give up some food to get your sister back."
“I can provide two or even three times the amount of food.”
Looking at the anxious look on Madam Meng's face, Han Luoxue knew all along that, putting everything else aside, Madam Meng was a good mother.
"Aren't they letting people out over there?"
"Yes, he won't release them."
Madam Meng's face was filled with sorrow. If only their family's circumstances had been this good sooner, her daughter...
The thought that her daughter had committed suicide because she couldn't bear it anymore caused Meng's heart to ache terribly.
"That area belongs to Sixi Town, right?"
Han Luoxue thought about it and realized that the man had a bad temper. If they went over rashly, he might not be willing to let go.
If we send the county magistrate to negotiate...
But this Han Juhua is no easy task. If we really bring her back, won't she continue to cause trouble?
"Snow Girl, please, I beg you."
Seeing that Han Luoxue did not agree, Madam Meng was extremely anxious, as she had no ability to save her daughter.
"Aunt, tell me the truth, have you gone there?"
"I..." Meng hesitated for a moment, knowing that this was the time to ask for a favor, and nodded with difficulty:
"I offered to provide three times the amount of grain, but he still wasn't willing. Chrysanthemum has been tortured beyond recognition."
"If we don't save her, I'm worried she won't live more than a few days."
This is a bit tricky.
However, since the Meng family had come all this way to ask for help, and this was something Old Madam Han had done in the past, Han Luoxue decided to lend a hand.
"It's getting late today, let's go there tomorrow."
Han Luoxue is pregnant now, and nights in the countryside are dangerous. The dirt roads between villages are also difficult to travel, and Han Luoxue doesn't want to risk her unborn child.
...
"Die? You wretched woman, you can't even give birth to a child, how dare you die?"
The man grabbed Han Juhua's hair tightly and yanked it hard, tearing off a large clump of hair along with a piece of scalp, leaving it bloody.
Han Juhua cried out in pain, but she had cried so much that her voice was already hoarse and she felt an unbearable pain in her throat.
"Hmph, you wretched woman, if you don't give me a son soon, I'll sell you..."
He looked at Han Juhua with disdain and sneered:
"But looking like this, you probably wouldn't be worth much if you sold it. You might as well just boil it and eat it."
Although he doesn't have much meat on his bones, at least he's young.
He had heard from the villagers that human flesh was the most delicious, especially the flesh of women and children.
Xu Ermazi hadn't eaten meat in a long time, and the thought of eating it made his eyes red. He stared at Han Juhua with eyes like a vicious wolf.
Han Juhua, who was already dizzy from the pain, flinched when the man looked at her. She tried to curl up, but her hair was still in his hand.
The man suddenly released her, his lecherous eyes sizing her up.
"Which part of the meat do you think tastes the best? How about I try it first?"
"I don't have much flesh on my body, I'm all bones..."
Looking at the knife in Xu Ermazi's hand, even though it was rusty and looked dull, Han Juhua still felt very scared.
"Impossible! There must be parts of your body with flesh."
Xu Ermazi didn't believe it; he even started touching it.
