Along the way, Wang Lili kept asking about Xie Xun, with a frown on her face and indignant expression.
"How can there be such parents? How can they let their daughter go into the fire pit?" she questioned, with anger flashing in her eyes.
Shouldn't parents want their children to live well? She sighed deeply in her heart.
Song Jiao listened quietly to Wang Lili's complaints and said calmly, "This is a normal thing in the countryside. There's no need to make a fuss!"
However, Wang Lili couldn't accept such an explanation. Looking at the scene in the rental house with only a bed and a stool, she became even more angry. "Is that man Xie Xun really worthy of being a human being? I'm so angry."
Why didn't that kind of rubbish just die? She was filled with rage.
"After today, it shouldn't be so easy for him to cause trouble to me. Even if he wants to come, he has to consider your presence! You'd better go back and rest early." Song Jiao said lightly.
It’s not that she wanted to drive Wang Lili away, but she still wanted to see the miserable plight of those three unfilial sons. The food in that house was probably only enough for one day.
Wang Lili thought these words had brought back bad memories for Song Jiao. She sighed, took out two hundred yuan and placed it on the table, saying seriously, "Don't treat yourself badly. You're working now anyway, so treat yourself better. I'll give you this money to buy some furniture or something."
"Don't be embarrassed to take this money, just think of it as a loan from me," she added.
After the greetings, Wang Lili left with a sigh.
Song Jiao looked at the money on the table and then put it on her body.
When she opened the system screen, she saw Xie Jia and his two siblings who were suffering from hunger.
They had gone to other people's fields to look for food, and when they met people they told them that their stepmother had run away and they had nothing to eat.
They look so pitiful that one can't help but feel sympathy for them.
However, at this moment, a woman looked at them strangely, "Didn't you, Lin Rulan, stay? My husband saw her shopping with the daughter of the town newspaper today! They saw her enter the newspaper office yesterday and today!"
The woman who was pulling radishes in the field looked up at the woman who was speaking. "Sister Yang, are you seeing things? Someone like Lin Rulan, who hasn't even read a single day's worth of books, can even work at a newspaper?"
"Can you please stop joking?" another woman questioned.
"Sister Zhang, this is true! Don't disbelieve it. Many people in the village saw it." The woman explained seriously.
When Shelly heard this, it was as if he was struck by lightning and he suddenly understood.
He bowed to the two women, his gratitude overflowing with words, then resolutely took his brother and sister and strode home with his head held high.
As soon as the door opened, Shelly was like a burning flame, shouting excitedly: "Did you hear that? That woman is now enjoying life happily in town, while we are suffering from hunger at home. She is feasting outside, while we are struggling here! How can this be possible?"
"Brother, what do you think we should do?" Xie Hai asked with an expectant look, the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart spreading like wildfire.
"Early tomorrow morning, you will follow me to the newspaper office to stop her. Then, you will throw a tantrum like wild beasts, making a lot of noise and leaving her nowhere to hide! Just say that she has run away with another man and doesn't care about our lives!" Shelly said gritting his teeth, his eyes flashing with the ferocity and cunning of a wolf pack.
We must not let this woman live so comfortably!
They had no food to eat here, but she lived so carefreely.
"Okay, it's settled." Xie Yun's eyes were full of determination and firmness.
They must force the woman to come back and continue cooking delicious food for the children.
Song Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, knowing full well that "little kids have big minds".
Although the children are still young, they often just pretend not to understand.
In order to make tomorrow's "action" more exciting, Song Jiao lay down in bed early and immersed herself in sweet dreams.
In order to prepare for tomorrow's developments, Song Jiao went straight to bed.
Have a good night.
Song Jiao did not wear the clothes that Wang Lili gave her yesterday, but wore old clothes from a few days ago.
After all, it’s not just the children who will be the ones throwing a tantrum and getting pitiful, but also her!
He walked out of the shabby rental house and strode towards the newspaper office.
From a distance, she saw the three little ones sitting on the steps in front of the newspaper office, looking around with a hint of expectation in their eyes.
Song Jiao walked towards them, and they also saw Song Jiao.
However, she did not stop and continued to walk towards the newspaper office with determination.
Xie Hai tugged at the corner of Xie Li's clothes and whispered, "Brother, she's here."
"Let's get started and follow the actions we planned last night."
As soon as Song Jiao approached, the three of them fell to the ground and burst into tears: "Mom, how can you be so cruel? Are you going to abandon us for that man?"
Xie Yun hugged Song Jiao's thighs tightly, "Mom, please come back! We won't tell Dad, as long as you can come back. We really can't live without you!"
"Mom, you can't leave us!"
The cries of the three children were like a bitter cold wind, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
People gradually understood the whole story from their few words.
It turns out that this woman abandoned her child and ran away with another man!
The onlookers began to talk and pointed at Song Jiao and loudly accused her.
"This woman is so heartless. She actually abandoned her children and only cared about her own pleasure!"
"Yeah, look at those kids, they're all dressed in rags, how pitiful! This woman really deserves to die!"
The people around seemed to be enjoying the fun.
As soon as Song Jiao saw the three of them, her expression immediately became extremely terrified, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
Her eyes were wide, her pupils constricted, as if she were trying to engrave everything she saw into her mind. Her face was as pale as paper, and her lips trembled, as if she was trying hard to suppress the fear in her heart. She reached out and pushed them away with all her strength. "Go away! Go away! I don't know you! I don't know you!"
With a strong push, Xie Yun and Xie Hai, who had been clinging to her thighs and calves, were pushed away and fell to the ground. Their bodies arced in the air before landing heavily on the hard road.
The pain made them gasp, and they stood up and continued to run towards Song Jiao.
Immediately afterwards, Song Jiao let out a sharp and piercing scream, her voice filled with endless fear and despair.
"Go away! You are all monsters! You just want me to go back and be beaten by his father! He doesn't care about anything every day, he just plays cards and gambles! He beats me all the time! Go away! Go away!" Her voice echoed in the air, like a sharp blade, cutting through the silence around her.
