Shen Yunshu was unaware of the discussions of the people behind her. If she heard them, her temper would explode like a firecracker and she would slap those people's mouths until they were swollen and torn into pieces.
She is not someone to be trifled with.
Only after she had left the people behind her far behind did Liu Meiling dare to speak:
"Sister, those guys just now are famous for their gossips in the hospital. They hate to see others living better than them. They are very mean-spirited. Next time you run into them, remember to stay away from them and don't let them hold a grudge against you."
Chen Yunshu frowned slightly: "Why are there so many big tongues? They talk nonsense all day long. Aren't they afraid of retribution in the future?"
Mrs. Cao hated to see a pretty girl angry, so she coaxed:
"Five fingers have different lengths. With so many people living in this compound, it's inevitable that they'll have some messy thoughts. We'll just ignore them from now on."
Shen Yunshu complained: "I'm afraid some people are like sticky candy, you can't get rid of them even if you stick to them."
Mrs. Cao and Liu Meiling looked at each other and said nothing more, because those people were just sticky troublemakers, and it was not unfair to say that about them.
Someone was waving a sickle and cutting grass for pigs by the river. Mrs. Cao recognized the person as Daya at a glance and waved to her.
Daya immediately dropped her sickle and ran over here happily: "Auntie, is there something wrong?"
Mrs. Cao took out a fist-sized steamed bun made of two-grain flour from the basket and handed it to Daya:
"Eat secretly, don't let your parents see you, or they will beat you again."
"Aunt, your family is not rich, so don't bring me food in the future." Daya drooled when she saw the steamed bun made of two-grain flour at her mouth, but she still shook her head to refuse Mrs. Cao's kindness.
"Girl, just take it when I tell you to. Why are you being so polite to your aunt?"
Mrs. Cao stuffed the steamed bun made of two pieces of flour into Daya's hand without saying a word.
"Aunt, you are a good person, thank you." Daya had tears in her eyes. Although she was young, she knew who treated her best.
Her aunt treated her better than her parents. Her parents scolded her for being a money-loser and always let her go hungry. If it weren't for her aunt's occasional help, she would have starved to death long ago.
Mrs. Cao wiped her tears and patiently coaxed her, "Our Daya is also a good girl. Stop crying. If you cry any more, your aunt will be distressed."
Daya stopped crying and gave all the purslane she had picked to Aunt Cao and the others.
Purslane is very juicy. Daya picks the tender ones, and they taste delicious whether steamed or mixed.
Aunt Cao knew that Daya was stubborn. If she didn't accept it, Daya wouldn't want her steamed buns either, so she accepted it without any hesitation.
"Auntie, I'm going to cut grass for the pigs. Remember not to go inside. The team leader said in a meeting a few days ago that the wild boars in the mountains have come down again to destroy the crops. You should be careful."
"Thank you, Daya." Aunt Cao rubbed her head and cursed Daya's parents in her heart.
Such a caring and sensible daughter is something that others would beg for, but they just find different ways to bully Daya every day.
It would be great if Daya was her daughter.
Before leaving, Shen Yunshu took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket and handed it to Daya: "Little girl, be good. When we meet next time, sister will treat you to White Rabbit Milk Candy."
This sister is so beautiful, just like a fairy from heaven. Daya has never seen a fairy, but she heard from Mrs. Wang in the team that she thinks the beautiful sister who gave her candy is a fairy from heaven.
Daya secretly peeled off the candy wrapper, and the moment the candy entered her mouth, her heart felt sweet and warm.
She couldn't bear to eat it all at once, so she licked the candy a few times, wrapped it back in candy paper, and put it in her pocket like a treasure.
When she was too hungry to bear it in the future, she would quietly lick the candy.
Mrs. Cao muttered as she walked, "Da Ya is also a poor girl. She is the eldest in the family and has two younger brothers. Her family disliked her because she was a girl, so they threw her into a urine bucket as soon as she was born and planned to drown her. Fortunately, she was found by a kind-hearted team leader, and she was able to save her life.
With her biased parents, Daya had a hard time at home. She would often faint from hunger. I happened to see her one day and took her home and made her a bowl of noodles. After that, every time she saw me, she would stuff the wild vegetables she had picked into my hands.
Shen Yunshu said: "Sister-in-law, you are kind-hearted, and Daya is also a good girl."
Mrs. Cao wiped her tears and said, "What's the use of a good girl? She's been abused by her family. I just hope Daya grows up quickly, finds a good man to marry, and never returns to that family again."
Shen Yunshu has received higher education and has modern thinking. In her opinion, changing one's destiny by getting married and having children is nothing short of a fraud.
If your parents can't give you something, don't even think about expecting a man to give you that. It's impossible.
If Daya doesn't stand up for herself, her future fate is obvious. With parents who favor boys over girls, Daya will be treated as a commodity and sold from one family to another. The money from the sale will be used to marry her younger brother.
When Daya gives birth to a daughter, her daughter will have the same fate as her. This cycle will continue over and over again, and the shackles on them will never be removed.
It seemed as if there were thousands of miniatures on Daya's body. Shen Yunshu wanted to help, but he didn't know how to start.
This is an arduous and difficult road. Even in modern times with rapid development of material civilization, there are still many girls like Daya.
Shen Yunshu's heart grew heavier, but she was soon attracted by a large patch of wild onions in front of her.
The three of them quickly squatted down and picked the wild onions. The tender and juicy wild onions were delicious when used to make pancakes.
The three of them deftly plucked the wild onions in front of them, then walked forward talking and laughing.
They were so serious that they forgot what Daya had told them. When the three of them came to their senses, they realized they had entered the depths of the back mountain.
The leaves of the newly emerged dandelions are very tender and will definitely be delicious when used for cold dishes or steamed.
The three of them were reluctant to leave the dandelions in front of them and prepared to pick them quickly and go down the mountain.
Just as it was about to end, Shen Yunshu, who had a keen hearing, suddenly heard footsteps coming from a distance.
The listening ability is not small.
Shen Yunshu subconsciously looked behind her and saw an adult wild boar not far away from them staring at them hungrily.
It seemed as if it was going to swallow the three of them at any time.
Shen Yunshu, who was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, forced himself to calm down: "Sister-in-law, can you climb trees?"
"meeting."
"meeting."
"Hurry up and climb the tree, there is a wild boar behind us."
