If it weren't for helping Xiaoyu, they wouldn't have been so direct. Ultimately, it's because that little girl is so pitiful.
"Auntie, I know I was wrong. I was wrong before." The original owner always felt that she was the old lady's own granddaughter, so she wouldn't treat her badly.
Ultimately, the original owner of this body was also at fault for the girl becoming like this.
"It's good that you know you were wrong. Hurry back and take care of the child. Xiaoyu is a very well-behaved child. As long as you treat her well, she will definitely listen to you."
Looking at Mo Yan's expression, the aunt knew that she knew she was wrong and that she knew when to stop.
"Okay, sure."
The villagers are all kind-hearted. As long as the police asked, they told the truth directly, and the villagers roughly understood that the old woman felt that Xiaoyu had taken the place of her future grandson and tried every means to kill Xiaoyu. She didn't take Xiaoyu to see a doctor when she was sick. Unexpectedly, Xiaoyu survived, so she came up with the idea of selling Xiaoyu.
For people at this time, it seems that if their sons don't have sons, they will be criticized behind their backs, their lineage will end, and no one will be there to take care of them in their old age. However, because they cannot have a second child, they have to find ways to make room for other girls.
I wonder how many girls have left this world because of this.
On the way back, the police looked at the statements and felt a deep sense of weight; the light notebooks felt incredibly heavy.
"Ms. Mo Yan, it's really good to have a mother like you. You're willing to seek justice for your child, which sets an example for other mothers. We hope you won't give up and let those mothers see that as long as they're willing, they can save their children."
"Of course I won't give up." Mo Yan would never give up. This is the tragedy of an era. Many ideas have long been deeply ingrained. But as long as someone rises, someone will change things. In the future, there will be no difference between girls and boys.
Mo Yan returned to the hospital with the clothes and other items. It was already evening. The little girl stared longingly at the ward door, and the moment she saw Mo Yan, a big smile finally appeared on her face. "Mommy, you're back?"
"Hmm, did you listen to Grandma today?"
"Yes, I ate my meal very well."
"Good boy/girl, eat more so you can grow taller."
"Mom, can I go to school in the future?" Zhou Xiaoyu regretted asking the question as soon as it left her mouth. "Mom, actually, that's not really what I want..."
"Of course we'll go. Once you're better, we'll go to school. You're in fourth grade this year, right? Mom doesn't even know where your school is yet. Can you take me to see it?"
Mo Yan walked over, sat down next to her, and reached out to pat her little head.
In fact, a child's world is very simple. As long as you give her a little love, she will give you all her love in return.
“Mom, I haven’t been to school for a long time. Grandma said it costs money to go to school, so I’m in second grade now. When the villagers come, Grandma makes me hide…” She could only watch others study, and she looked at them with envy.
Hearing this, Mo Yan really felt that the old woman hadn't received enough acupuncture; she should have received more.
"She said that I'm just a girl and don't need to study. I'll belong to someone else's family sooner or later. At worst, I'll go to farm or work in a factory. Is that what my mother thinks?"
Zhou Xiaoyu looked at her mother blankly, her little eyes actually filled with a longing for learning.
She really wanted to go to school, to learn, to sing with other children, and to become a teacher when she grew up.
"What she said is wrong. Xiaoyu, you need to know one thing: you are Mom's precious baby. The reason Mom keeps you at home is not because Mom doesn't love you, but because Mom wants to earn money and wants to give you a better life."
It's Mom's fault. I didn't come back to see you because I was busy making money, and I didn't know you were having a hard time.
"Mom's job is very tiring because she's uneducated, doesn't know what machines are, can't fix them, and doesn't understand those complex things. That's why she has to do such a tiring job. But learning is different. If you learn enough, you'll understand how those machines work, and you can do more and easier jobs, don't you think?"
Children actually understand everything. Instead of making up some other messy reasons, it's better to just tell them what's going on directly, in a way that they can understand.
"Mom, do you mean that studying is good because it helps us learn more, understand more things, and find better jobs, and that it has nothing to do with boys or girls?" She used to think that only boys could get good jobs.
"Of course, no matter what job it is, there are boys and girls. Just like there are female teachers and female doctors, there are no gender distinctions in any job. What your grandma said is wrong. Her own thinking is problematic, understand?"
The little girl's eyes lit up. "Mommy, can I be a teacher when I grow up?"
"Of course you can, but the prerequisite is that you need to learn enough knowledge. If you want to teach children, you won't be able to teach them if you don't even know the material yourself, don't you think?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I want to learn more so I can teach other children. Mom, I want to go to school." The little girl nodded repeatedly; she wanted to be a teacher.
"Okay, we'll go to school when we feel better. If we're not feeling well, our heads will be spinning, right?"
"Mmm, Mom, I can't wait!"
The little girl talked with Mo Yan for a long time before finally falling asleep.
Mo Bai, who was standing to the side, already had tears in her eyes. "Sister, we absolutely cannot let that family get away with this. They are just too disgusting."
“Not a single one of them will get away. They’re bullying my daughter like this. Do they think I don’t exist as their mother?”
The original owner really... doesn't know how to say it. Five years! How could she not come back even once? Even if she had come back just once, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
...
For the next two days, Mo Yan stayed at the hospital taking care of the little girl, while the rest of the family was at the police station. Even Zhou Yan was notified by the police to come back.
He went straight to the hospital upon his return, stormed in, and glared at Mo Yan. "Mo Yan, what do you mean? Why are my mother and sister-in-law at the police station? Are you crazy?"
Mo Yan stood up, walked over, and slapped Zhou Yan several times, catching him off guard. "Why are you back? I thought you had abandoned your family. Why didn't you turn yourself in at the police station?"
"You actually hit me?" He covered his face and was about to hit Mo Yan when Mo Bai grabbed his hand. "Zhou Yan wants to fight my sister in front of me, right?"
"Didn't you see that it was Mo Yan who hit me? Mo Yan, are you crazy? Don't you want to live with me anymore? What did my mother do wrong? All she did was give Xiao Yu away, right?"
