"Yes!" The villagers were filled with righteous indignation. Every family among them had children, and they hated the human traffickers immensely.
Now that I heard that Li Chunhua and her husband actually did such a thing, I wanted to send them to the police station.
Li Chunhua quickly said, "Who sold it? You old hag, you are just talking nonsense here! No one heard Haifeng and I trying to kidnap your child, and no one saw Haifeng do it. What right do you have to say that?"
"Who said no one heard it, no one saw it?" Old Mrs. Shen sneered, then waved towards the house, "Come on, kid, come out."
The villagers looked over curiously, and unexpectedly, it was Li Chunhua's daughter, Guan Xiaorui.
When Li Chunhua saw her, she was stunned for a moment, and then she started to curse, "I was wondering why you, a money-loser, didn't come back for so long, it turns out you were hiding here! Well, are you going to betray your own family?"
Seeing Li Chunhua's ferocious face and her eyes wide open like copper bells, Guan Xiaorui was very scared. Her mind couldn't help but recall the scenes of being beaten by her every time. Her face was pale and her hands and feet were shaking slightly.
Old Mrs. Shen bent down and put one hand on her shoulder, giving her encouragement and courage. "Don't be afraid, baby, tell me everything you know. Don't speak for her just because she is your mother. Someone like her is not worthy of being a mother!"
Guan Xiaorui glanced at Li Chunhua, and before she could say anything, Li Chunhua cursed her viciously: "Little bitch, if you dare to talk nonsense, don't go home, you'll starve to death outside!"
"Li Chunhua, shut up!" Old Madam Shen interrupted her angrily, "You are not worthy of being a mother. You really are not worthy! It is really unlucky for Xiaorui to be your daughter!"
"Oh, unlucky? I am unlucky too! If possible, I don't want to give birth to her!" Li Chunhua had a look of contempt and indifference on her face, as if she really had no feelings for her daughter at all.
Old Lady Shen bent down and touched Guan Xiaorui's head. "Child, you really don't have to be afraid. We are all here, and there are so many people watching. This woman won't dare to do anything to you. Just be brave and tell us what you know."
"I..." Guan Xiaorui hesitated, clenching the corners of her clothes with both hands.
Li Chunhua's words could be said to be quite cruel. It meant that they wanted to sever ties with her and let her fend for herself outside. She was only seven years old and her parents didn't want her anymore. How could she not be afraid?
However, when she thought about how Li Chunhua had never treated her as her own daughter, and had been ordering her around, beating and scolding her since she was a child, and treating her like an animal, and only having her younger brother in her eyes and heart, she wondered how she had ever considered her a daughter.
By the time she was seven years old, she could count the number of times she had eaten meat on one hand, and she never had new clothes to wear. She only wore clothes that Li Chunhua had worn out and discarded. The cotton-padded clothes she wore in winter were always drafty, and she had to sleep on the floor at night. Many times she felt like she was going to freeze to death, but Li Chunhua and Guan Haifeng never paid any attention to her.
In short, her life was not like that of a human being, and Guan Xiaorui felt a strong hatred in her heart.
It’s better not to have parents like this.
So, what does it matter if my mother tells me not to go home?
Thinking of this, Guan Xiaorui became more determined. She mustered up her courage and said to the crowd, "I heard my father say at home that he wanted to sell Fubao to a remote mountain village and marry her to an old bachelor. He said she could make a lot of money!"
