Xiaofeng cried breathlessly, "No matter how I asked him, he refused to tell me and even beat me up. I secretly overheard him talking to my father-in-law last night and found out that he had sent A-Di to Liujia Village."
Liujia Village is not far from Tieshan Village. The houses are built on the top of the mountain. The life there is even poorer than Tieshan Village. There are only about eleven or twelve households in total. If Xiaofeng's daughter is taken there, her life will be even more difficult.
"That bastard Zhao Laoliu sold A-Di for 5,000 yuan..."
Xiaofeng's lips were trembling as she spoke. She clutched the scattered straw on the ground tightly, not caring even if her hands were scratched by the straw and bleeding.
Su Man looked at Xiao Feng, weighing whether her words were true or not. "Since you feel that life here is difficult, why don't you help Su Su escape? If she can escape, she will help you too."
Xiao Feng smiled sadly, "I'm different from you. You have a home, family, and a place to stay outside, but I..."
Then, Su Man heard Xiao Feng's true life story from her.
In fact, she was not a university student, she had only studied for a few years. She was not abducted, but sold by her own uncle.
Xiaofeng's home is in Goushan Village, about a hundred kilometers away. After her parents passed away, she was adopted by her uncle.
My uncle was a gambler and lost everything in the house, so he set his sights on Xiaofeng.
In order to get the tens of thousands of dollars in betrothal money, he tied up Xiaofeng and sent her to Tieshan Village. No matter how Xiaofeng cried and screamed, he ignored her.
At first, Xiaofeng also thought about running away, but not only could she not escape, she was beaten every time she was caught.
One time, she stole a cell phone and called the police. She thought she was finally saved, but she overlooked one thing: the nearest police officer came.
Before the police arrived, the village chief got the news and dragged her, gagged her and threw her into the cellar.
The police couldn't find the person and couldn't contact his family, so they had to give up.
When Xiaofeng was released again, the police had already left, and she was about to be beaten again.
In this despair day after day, Xiaofeng's mentality also changed.
The long-term beatings and torture made her become timid. Gradually, she dared not resist anymore. The pain that penetrated her bones turned into invisible chains, locking her in circles.
In those desperate days, the only person who supported her was A-Di.
A-di would puff out her cheeks to blow on her wounds when she was beaten, and would fan her with a small fan when she was working.
How she wished she could give her the best and let her live a life without worries. But in Tieshan Village, the preference for boys over girls was ingrained in their bones.
In order to protect A-Di, she must stand in front of her and eliminate all dangers for her.
In order to please Zhao Laoliu and make him show more mercy to her and her mother, she worked day and night. No matter which family needed help, she would go. She did not eat a single bite of the food and drink she earned. Except for the little bit left for A Di, she used all the money to honor her parents-in-law and Zhao Laoliu.
Only in this way would Zhao Laoliu stop beating her and smile more towards A Di.
Gradually, her mentality changed. At the beginning, she needed to deliberately cater to them, but gradually, her words, deeds, and every move were no different from theirs.
Just as Chen Susu feared the most, after this long torture, Xiaofeng was no longer just imprisoned as a human being, but also her once bright and free heart.
Xiaofeng thought she could protect A-Di and help her grow up, but reality slapped her hard in the face and woke her up from those false fantasies.
After A-di was taken away, she was in pain and regretful. She hated her cowardice and hated her powerlessness even more.
-
In front of Su Man, Xiao Feng couldn't stop crying.
"I deserve it. You don't believe me and I don't want to care about me, which is right. But A-di, A-di is innocent. You don't have to take me away. Take A-di and Xiaobao away. No matter where we go, it's better than here. Please, I kowtow to you..."
Xiaofeng knelt on the ground, hitting her forehead against the ground again and again.
"Get up."
Su Man lifted her up from the ground by her bony arms. "It's no use kneeling down. Not to mention whether I can get out, A-Di has already been sent away. How can I take her with me?"
"I..."
Xiao Feng obviously didn't have any good ideas, but she gritted her teeth and said, "I will definitely rescue her."
Su Man did not question her unfounded self-confidence. No one could estimate the power of a mother.
Before Xiaofeng could come up with a solution, someone in the distance was shouting something, mumbling anxiously.
Although Su Man could already understand simple sentences during this period, the man shouted so urgently and quickly that she only heard a few names. It seemed like it was the Li family?
At this time, the man shouted again, "Quick, go call Li Pozi's family over, his eldest and second sons are fighting in the fields!"
...
Most of the summer has passed, and the wheat fields are no longer green. The green bushes are dotted with golden color, which has a unique flavor.
At this moment, a large area of the wheat field was flattened, and two people were rolling inside.
Su Man rushed over and saw who it was but Li Zhuang.
The person he was riding on was Li Xiang, who had been beaten black and blue. He had been studying away from home all these years and was no match for Li Zhuang, who was thick-skinned and strong, so he took several solid punches.
Li Zhuang attacked with both hands, cursing, "You bastard, you debt collector, you stole my schooling when you were little, and now you're trying to get me my wife, you beast, I'm going to beat you to death."
This was not the end. Seeing that Li Xiang was seeing stars from being beaten, Li Zhuang swung the hoe beside him and hit him in the chest.
