After she finished speaking, everyone saw Li's mother take out a stack of money from her bosom and throw it on the ground. It was the one hundred and fifty yuan that the man had just given her.
The bald man immediately picked it up and put it in his arms. He stopped being crazy and turned around and left. The fat matchmaker saw that the situation had escalated to human trafficking, so she didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear of being caught red-handed. The two of them rode away on their bicycles.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless and the marriage could not be completed, the opportunity that was about to come to her mouth flew away, and her old man was beaten like this, she was overwhelmed with grief for a moment.
"Oh my god, is this man crazy?"
"The way he beat me up just now was like he was having a mental breakdown. How could they sell their daughter to a family like that?"
"It's so scary! If a fight breaks out, Pan Di's small body won't be able to withstand it."
"You are simply making trouble. If you do it again, I will personally send you to labor camp." The village chief of Lijia Village roared angrily.
Although Gu's father was also very angry, he knew that this was the only way. After all, they were still relatives, and it was impossible for him to really send them to labor camp. In the final analysis, this matter could only be talked about, and there was no way to make a big deal out of it.
The best outcome would be to save this girl, but I don’t know what to do next.
Gu's mother was also worried. She knew that the person should be rescued, but what to do with him in the future was another problem.
Li Qingyun looked at the indifferent Li family members in front of her and her sister whose eyes were swollen from crying, and made a decision in her heart.
They are still crying because the money they earned was gone, and they have never considered the life and death of their sisters. She should have stopped having any illusions about them a long time ago.
No matter what happened before, she thought that these were the parents of her original body. Even if she used their bodies, she couldn't kill all their relatives. She still had to leave a glimmer of hope. She thought of visiting them during the holidays and showing her love to them.
Now it seems that she was too soft-hearted, letting them think that she was still the dough that Li Zhaodi could manipulate at will.
Li Qingyun gathered her emotions and pointed at Li's parents. "Is this the good family you found for our eldest sister? You chose so carefully and only found a psychopath. You are truly inhuman. You sold your daughter, who just escaped from human traffickers, to a psychopath. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
After saying this, she tearfully said to Village Chief Li, "Uncle, we sisters have suffered so much! What do they treat us as? We are just tools for them to make money.
When we were young, the three of us toiled hard every day to support them. In the old days, farmhands in landlords' homes toiled hard and still had enough to eat and wear warm clothes. We sisters worked hard all year round but still couldn't get enough to eat. All the food went into their stomachs, leaving us as thin as a stick, and we would fall over at the slightest breeze.
I finally grew up and reached the age to get married, but they almost sold me to a fool as a wife for 300 yuan. If I hadn't jumped into the river and been rescued by my husband, I would probably be dead now.
He also exchanged high prices for my two younger sisters. Combined, they earned four or five hundred yuan from the betrothal gifts alone. Otherwise, how could we afford to live in such a bright and beautiful brick house? Every brick and tile of this house was forged with the blood and tears of my sisters. Have we ever enjoyed it for a single day?
When other people marry off their daughters, they give a dowry, including clothes, quilts and money from the bottom of the box. I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but I got married with my own tattered clothes. After I received the betrothal gift, they didn't even make me a decent piece of clothing. It was my husband's family who sent me a set of wedding clothes.
In this family, I am the only one who takes things back. No one has ever given me a single needle or thread. When I go back to my parents' home, I have to bring gifts, otherwise they will give me the cold shoulder.
The same goes for my two younger sisters. I usually send them gifts. It was because of this that my eldest sister was severely beaten by the Han family. Her legs were broken and her body was covered with scars."
When Li Qingyun said this, she pulled the numb Qinghuan over and rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs to show everyone. The exposed areas were covered with scars.
"Look at this, everyone. What kind of heartless parents pushed their daughter into this pit of fire and kept asking for more, causing her to be beaten like this? Although the Han family was wrong, they are also the executioners."
If Li Qingyun seemed to be acting at the beginning, she was really passionate at this point.
The villagers who were watching, including Gu's father and mother, Cheng Jie, Qiu Ju and others, saw the scars all over the body and looked at Qinghuan with some heartache. This girl has suffered a lot.
Everyone started talking and criticizing Li's father and mother for not being human and not treating their own daughter as a human being.
"That's right. I remember when Zhaodi was little, she had to pick grass for the pigs and dig out pig manure every day. She always had to lead Pandi by the hand and tie Wangdi on her back. Her mother only wanted to give birth to a son and didn't care about the lives of her sisters at all."
"Well, these three girls have been brought up in misery. They've never worn a single decent piece of clothing. They're all rags and rags that other families simply couldn't wear anymore. I also have two girls, and I didn't treat them so harshly. As a parent, we should at least make sure our children are well fed and clothed."
"Yeah, what's wrong with girls? Isn't it said in this new society that women hold up half the sky? I think these three girls are pretty good."
Village chief Li knew it very well. When the three of them were little, he often took care of them openly and secretly.
Mr. and Mrs. Li huddled together and dared not speak.
"I can tolerate everything else. After all, a married girl is like spilled water. But you absolutely shouldn't sell my eldest sister out again. She just escaped from the clutches of a tiger. Do you really want to force her to death?
Today, in front of everyone, with the village chief also present, I ask everyone to bear witness that from now on, the three of us sisters will sever all ties with the Li family and will never have any contact with them until we die.
Just take care of your son, and Li Debao will support you in the future. We three sisters have raised you for so many years and earned so much dowry for you. We have long repaid you for your kindness in giving birth to and raising you.
From now on, whether we live well or not, you don’t need to ask us.”
When this was said, everyone was shocked. Some agreed, while others felt it was inappropriate, but it was not up to them to make the final decision on this matter.
It mainly depends on what Village Chief Li says. In the future, parents and children severing their relationship will need to publish an announcement in the newspaper, but now it is not so troublesome. As long as the village leaders and most people agree, the matter will be settled. No matter what happens in their family in the future, the sisters will not be blamed.
This is also why Li Qingyun had to lay the groundwork for so many things, complaining so that everyone would stand on their side emotionally.
Li's parents were not willing to do that. Mother Li jumped up and pointed at Li Qingyun's nose and said, "Don't even think about it. You crawled out of my belly, so whatever I say goes. You still want to make trouble? I will beat you to death, you troublemaker." As she said that, she was about to hit Li Qingyun.
Ever since the eldest daughter came back to ask for money for the first time, nothing good has happened in this family. Today, the money that was hard-earned was gone, and Li's mother was on the verge of collapse.
Gu Tingzhou quickly stood in front of his wife. Logically, he couldn't help, but no one could bully his wife in front of him, not even her parents.
Li Qingyun was very happy. It would be better if she went crazy. Once she went crazy, the villagers who were still watching would feel more sorry for the three sisters. It would be better for them not to have such parents.
