If she were truly our mother, how could she act like this, hitting and scolding us at will? She never spoke a harsh word to Qiao Er and Qiao San, and gave them whatever they wanted.
Sister, you earned those two catties of gold, didn't you? Mother never mentioned it, and almost half of it was given to Qiao Er and Qiao San.
In contrast, look at how Mother treats you and me…
Qiao Manman is really about to break down.
Even as she listened to this tearful plea, Qiao Jingjing remained vigilant, constantly listening to any sounds outside.
If her mother were to jump into the room at that moment, she and Qiao Manman would probably be beaten to death on the spot.
"Sister, let's go."
Until Qiao Manman said those words.
Qiao Jingjing couldn't hear the sounds outside for a moment: "Manman, what did you just say? Where are we going?"
This time, it was Qiao Manman who shook Qiao Jingjing's shoulders.
She wanted to bring her to her senses.
"Sister, I feel something's not right!"
I think Mother is wrong! Has Mother gone mad? Because of everything that happened before, no one in Lujiang City would want girls like us. We can't get married, sister.
My mother can't accept it! She beats and scolds us every day. We can't eat a good meal or get a good night's sleep.
Sister, I can't live like this anymore.
If it weren't for you being with me, I would... I would...
Sister, let's go.
I'll go find General Zhou, you go find General Sun! Go to General Sun.
I don't believe it, I don't believe it! We have nowhere else to go.
Xiao Qiao didn't mean she eloped with someone in the middle of the night.
Her meaning was actually very simple: she was constantly scolded by her own mother at home, day and night, without any explanation, which made her lose all confidence in going on.
In addition, for some unknown reason, the reputation of this Qiao family woman suddenly spread, and for some reason, no one dared to marry her.
She can't get married.
No one has brought up the matter of marriage.
The elderly mother became even angrier.
The old mother's manic state was beyond the control of the old father, and Qiao Er and Qiao San were receiving a boundless maternal love.
The two brothers dared not say anything, for fear of being scolded.
Sometimes, the two brothers even felt that their mother was right to manage things. They reasoned that since their older sister and younger sister were both unable to get married, their mother would be even less likely to marry and would end up staying at home forever.
Qiao Manman didn't want to be forced to her death.
So what if she's going out to marry someone? She can just walk out the door herself!
Qiao Jingjing never expected things to have progressed to this point.
"Manman, listen to me!"
No, you and I cannot leave through this door.
We can't leave this house! Once you and I step out of this house, there will be no future for us, Manman!
Our mother hit us and scolded us; it was...it was too much.
Manman, don't be afraid, you still have me. Believe me, everything will be alright.
Everything will be alright.
Qiao Jingjing personally applied a cold towel to Qiao Manman's wounds.
She herself was in no better shape; her wrists, back, legs, and neck—wherever her clothes covered—were covered in scars.
well.
Qiao Jingjing is not one to passively accept her fate.
But Qiao Manman's method was wrong.
