Chapter 3: Escape
"There's a sound inside, I'll go in and take a look."
Old Mrs. Chen has always been dissatisfied with Qin Yuan, and her tone is not good.
"Who are you, in broad daylight?! If you take another step, I'll tell Brother Nine!"
Qin Yuan felt that this old man had returned to his old ways and wanted to go through her things again. She had no idea how many times they had argued about this before, but fortunately she didn't suffer any loss.
“You useless bitch…” Old Mrs. Chen cursed in dialect, but she didn’t dare to enter the room.
Zhang Wei's heart was beating fast. He had to find a chance to get out...
Fortunately, her luck was not bad. Seeing that Old Mrs. Chen did not dare to go in again, Qin Yuan closed the door and took the clothes to the yard to hang them up.
Fortunately, Old Lady Chen appeared. Zhang Wei had just forgotten to close the door, so Qin Yuan thought that it was Old Lady Chen who opened it, otherwise Zhang Wei would have been discovered.
When Zhang Wei heard the sound at the door going away, he quickly left the room and went out through the back door of the main hall. He found a hidden place to put the money, and then went in through the front yard in broad daylight.
What greeted her was the curse from Old Lady Chen. It seemed that she was venting her anger after suffering a loss. However, Zhang Wei was in a very good mood. It turned out that having money could make one happy.
Zhang Wei was still thinking, since the family was not poor, should he find an opportunity to restore normalcy and see if Chen Jiumei was willing to send her to school? He was the absolute authority in this family.
However, what happened within a few days forced her to leave immediately.
That day, Zhang Wei was awakened by a burst of firecrackers. The village seemed to become lively all of a sudden. Even Old Mrs. Chen's face, which had always been sad, showed a hint of joy. It turned out that there was a wedding in the village and there was wedding wine to be enjoyed.
However, Chen Jiumei still had to go out to work, so she took ten yuan and asked Qin Yuan to give it as a gift. Qin Yuan smiled very gently, and the fierceness on Chen Jiumei's face faded a little.
Zhang Wei went to the banquet with them. Seeing that there were children much older than her around her, she decided not to follow the rules anymore. She was going to vomit after eating sweet potato pickles every day.
She saw that there was a roast chicken on every table, so she didn't touch the other dishes at first. Everyone looked at her like a fool. When the waiter brought the roast chicken to her, she grabbed it in a flash and ran home with it in her arms.
Thanks to Zhang Wei's exercise during this period, she ran back home without blushing or getting out of breath, and didn't care what those people said.
She walked home carrying the roast chicken, and just as she took a bite, she saw Qin Yuan coming out of the room. The moment she saw her, she took a small step back as if she was frightened. It was also the first time that Zhang Wei saw nervousness on Qin Yuan's face.
Zhang Wei bit the chicken and confronted her for a few seconds. Seeing a hint of hostility flash across Qin Yuan's eyes, the radar alarm in Zhang Wei's mind finally sounded -
“Bang!”
The roast chicken slipped to the ground!
Before Zhang Wei could taste the flavor, she turned around to run when Qin Yuan grabbed her clothes and dragged her backwards with great force.
With a "bang", Zhang Wei's head hit the earth wall, which made her dazed. She immediately pretended to faint and fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Qin Yuan was in a hurry to leave and did not look back.
After a few minutes, Zhang Wei finally got up. There was a big bump on the back of his head.
When she went into the room, she found that the box was locked. Zhang Wei felt under the pillow and the small stick was still there. She opened the box and found that all the money was gone. However, there was a flashlight and a receipt for five thousand yuan, a huge sum of money!
Fortunately, she took the initiative!
She took the flashlight away, locked the box, packed a bag, wrapped up the roast chicken and sweet potatoes she had taken a bite of, and hid them. For a moment, she wanted to run after Qin Yuan. In this body, she was only six years old. Where could she go like this?
It's a pity that Qin Yuan didn't have any motherly affection for her. She threw her against the wall without hesitation, not caring whether she lived or died. If she met her again on the road, she would probably be dead.
The sound of festive gongs and drums was still ringing in his ears, so Zhang Wei decided to go to the village entrance while no one was around. Sure enough, there was no one guarding the intersection, and Qin Yuan had already left.
Zhang Wei walked a few meters tentatively. Even without looking at the cliff, she immediately felt dizzy and her legs were shaking. She had no way of walking over. It looked like the road was at least two or three miles long, and she couldn't walk over it anyway.
So she just continued to hang around the house where the wedding banquet was being held like other children, and when they were distributing wedding candies and money, she even picked up two dimes and a bag of hard candies.
As Zhang Wei moved around the wedding banquet, she overheard a lot of gossip. She didn't understand much of it, but she finally understood why Qin Yuan was acting so irrationally...
It turns out that Qin Yuan was actually bought. No wonder - everything is traceable. She doesn't deal with the villagers, she doesn't care about her daughter, she hates Old Lady Chen, and she pleases Chen Jiumei just to let her relax her vigilance, which gives her the opportunity to leave.
Zhang Wei had never thought of telling the truth. She had always felt that there was a hidden reason why Qin Yuan married Chen Jiumei. Now it seemed that she would be crazy if she didn't run away. Zhang Wei admired her patience. She was not an ordinary person who could act for 7 years.
It is impossible to say that Zhang Wei was not angry about the throw. Didn't she know that her daughter was now a mute? It can only be said that she really didn't treat Chen Laidie as her daughter. Well, Zhang Wei didn't want to have a mother again, because she didn't have a mother before.
She had no intention of staying in the Chen family's house. Chen Lai Di died of illness lying alone on the wooden bed. If she survived, she would be Zhang Wei. If Chen Jiu Mei and Old Lady Chen had cared more about her, she would not have died of illness, not to mention that she often didn't have enough to eat.
"Found it! Brother Lai is here!"
When she was dragged home, Zhang Wei was squatting on the ground watching ants moving. After the banquet, there were a lot of food scraps and ants on the ground. She decided to go back after dark.
"Hurry! Your mother ran away!"
Before Zhang Wei could see clearly who was coming, he was carried up and rushed home.
When she was put on the ground, her stomach was pushed so hard that she almost vomited. When she looked up, she saw that the main room was full of people, and only the sound of Old Mrs. Chen crying and cursing could be heard.
The leader, Chen Jiumei, looked at her murderously, but the boy who brought him here spoke sensibly:
"Uncle Jiu, Lai Di has been playing in Brother Thirteen's yard. Gou Wa and the others have seen it. She definitely doesn't know."
Chen Jiumei walked forward, pulled Zhang Wei in front of her, stared at her like a beast about to be hunted, and said in a deep voice: "When did your mother leave?"
Zhang Wei's heart tightened when he saw that look. He knew that now was not the time to fight back, so he pretended to be scared and cried silently with his mouth wide open. Fortunately, the child had well-developed tear glands, and tears fell down, looking so pitiful.
At this time, an elderly man was smoking a pipe and said slowly:
"Alright! Why scare a dumb person? Now what we need to do is to recover the losses."
"The one guarding the gate today is Chen Xing. If he lets the person run away and can't find him back, he will have to pay compensation." Chen Jiumei is not someone who can be fooled easily.
