Chapter 295 From now on, how about you become your aunt's daughter? [18]
Li Chu's address of "Uncle" made the tightly furrowed brows of the man unconsciously relax.
Li Pan'er had called him "Uncle" before, but he had never felt anything special about it.
At that time, he thought it was probably because the blood ties weren't as strong anymore.
I only found out now that it wasn't even a blood relative!
Li Chu then addressed his second maternal uncle, second maternal aunt, third maternal uncle, third maternal aunt, eighth maternal uncle, and cousins.
After calling out a string of calls, her mouth was dry.
Aunt Zhao Mingxue took Li Chu's hand and made her sit down next to her.
The little girl's hands were very small, her skin was rough, and you could feel obvious calluses on her palms.
Zhao Mingxue looked down and saw that there were many old and new knife scars on her hand!
Zhao Mingxue, who also came from a wealthy family and was a socialite, was shocked to see such a pair of hands.
After the initial shock came heartache.
Thinking that a fifteen-year-old girl must be very sensitive, Zhao Mingxue didn't ask Li Chu about her past life, even though there were so many people around.
She gently and lovingly stroked Li Chu's hand, looked at her and said, "Chu Chu, welcome home."
"My aunt has always wanted to have a daughter. How about you become my aunt's daughter in the future?"
Zhao Mingxue's gentleness and almost overflowing affection warmed Li Chu's heart with an indescribable feeling, one she had never experienced before.
Even in the depths of her somewhat hazy memories, in the occasional moments when Li Xiaoxiao was lucid, she had never experienced it.
The warm current rushed straight up, making Li Chu's eyes sting and almost bringing tears to her eyes.
She nodded and softly replied, "Okay."
The second and third aunts standing nearby objected: "Hey, sister-in-law! That's not right! We also want to have a daughter! We also want Chuchu to be our daughter!"
"That's right!"
"Oh, let's stop arguing. Let Chuchu take turns being our daughter!"
"Great idea!"
"Chuchu, your second aunt is a great cook, she'll definitely fatten you up!"
"Chuchu! Your third aunt is a fashion designer, she'll make you some beautiful clothes!"
"neat……"
Li Chu imagined that the Li family would not welcome her and would be hostile and resistant towards her.
Slightly better, perhaps it's ignoring her, treating her with indifference and coldness.
She had mentally prepared herself, thinking that as long as she came back, she could take revenge on Li Pan'er, who had persecuted her in her previous life.
She didn't care about anything else.
But Li Chu didn't expect the Li family to be so...enthusiastic.
Their enthusiasm almost overwhelmed Li Chu, leaving him feeling completely overwhelmed!
It was only after the eldest uncle spoke up that the rest of the Li family quieted down, allowing Li Chu to catch his breath.
The eldest uncle clearly still had many questions to ask Li Zhiyun, so he said to his eldest daughter-in-law, "Mingxue, Chuchu has just returned home after a long journey. Why don't you take her back to her room to rest?"
Zhao Mingxue nodded and replied, "Okay, Dad."
She took Li Chu's hand and said with a smile, "Knowing you were coming back, your aunt has already prepared a room for you. Let me show you the room. If you don't like it, we can redecorate it."
Li Chu obediently followed Zhao Mingxue.
After she left, without her uncle asking, Li Zhiyun began to give her instructions.
“I received a call from Shen Wangqing of the Shen family. His sister, Shen Wangyue, went missing a while ago, causing quite a stir, and they haven’t been able to find her.”
"It was quite a coincidence that Shen Wangyue was sold to Chuchu's village, Shiqiao Village."
"At that time, Chu Chu was trying to run away because her biological father was going to sell her to an old bachelor."
"She happened to see Shen Wangyue, so she took her with her and escaped together."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Li Zhiyun's words were interrupted by her third uncle.
Third Uncle: "What did you just say? Chu Chu's biological father... is going to sell her to an old bachelor?"
Li Zhiyun nodded: "Yes, as far as I know, that old bachelor is already forty years old. The reason he hasn't married is because he's too poor to afford a wife."
Third Uncle felt like he couldn't catch his breath, clutched his chest, and his eyes rolled back as he was about to faint.
The woman was so frightened that her third aunt and several uncles rushed over to pinch her philtrum.
Fortunately, the old men were actually in good health and did not actually faint.
However, everyone's expression was very grim.
They couldn't utter any truly vulgar language, but they were all extremely angry.
"How old is Chu Chu? She's only fifteen! And she looks so thin and small, how could that beast be so cruel?"
Li Zhiyun said coldly, gritting her teeth, "How can he not be ruthless? When Xiaoxiao tried to escape, he caught her and broke one of her legs and gouged out one of her eyes."
"Later, she was locked in the woodshed for many years and was frequently abused."
Li Zhiyun's words made the eldest uncle's eyes red, and his previously calm expression could no longer hide his anger.
The eldest uncle said, "When Xiao Chenghai brought Li Pan'er to the capital, he only mentioned that Xiao Xiao died in childbirth."
It doesn't say at all what kind of treatment Li Xiaoxiao received while she was alive!
Li Zhiyun said with a choked voice, "Besides being abused, not being able to eat or wear enough, Xiaoxiao also had to keep getting pregnant and giving birth."
"In those years, her belly was never empty; besides miscarriages, she also gave birth to several baby girls."
“That beast wanted a son, so he killed those baby girls right in front of Xiaoxiao after they were born.”
"Xiao Xiao has lost her mind and is rarely lucid."
"Chu Chu told me that the year Xiao Xiao passed away, she had completely gone insane and didn't even recognize herself..."
For a long time, no one spoke in the living room.
They were so sad that they didn't even have the energy to curse.
Li Zhiyun paused for a moment before continuing.
They talked about how Li Chu grew up over the years and how much hardship she endured.
"Luckily, Chu Chu is very clever and was able to escape, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened to her..."
Li Zhiyun couldn't even imagine such an outcome.
The eldest uncle finally found his voice and asked, "Where are those people? Where is that beast?"
He just wants to do one thing right now: kill that beast!
Li Zhiyun: "When I went to Langshan City, the entire village had been arrested. That village was a notorious place for trafficking women and children; not a single family there was clean!"
"They also killed many newborn girls, which is intentional murder."
"As for that beast, his crimes are enough to warrant the death penalty."
"But I think the death penalty is too lenient on him. He wants to live, to live a life worse than death..."
Li Chu was unaware of the conversation taking place in the living room downstairs, but she could roughly guess what it was about.
She followed Zhao Mingxue back to the room, which was decorated in pink and white tones and had a princess-style feel.
"Do you like it?" Zhao Mingxue asked her.
Li Chu had never seen a room like this before; it was so big and bright.
The balcony of that apartment overlooks the back garden of the Li Family Manor, which is quite beautiful!
Li Chu nodded: "I like it very much, thank you Auntie."
Zhao Mingxue felt a pang of tenderness seeing how well-behaved she was.
She then led Li Chu to the dressing room.
The walk-in closet is large, but not full: "These were all bought according to your size. I was afraid you wouldn't like these styles, so I only bought these. We'll go shopping again in a couple of days and buy what you like then."
