Chu Xia quickly shouted out anxiously,
"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
Chu Xi was moved by the urgent and sad crying voice. Chu Xia was probably her only relative, so she hoped nothing would happen to her.
Chu Xi immediately rushed out of the room and was about to go into the kitchen, but almost bumped into Chu Xia, whose eyes were already red.
Fortunately, Chu Xi was light and agile enough, so she turned around and dodged, thus avoiding a "car crash".
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
But Chuxia was holding a somewhat worn cloth bag, her eyes were filled with tears, but she was trying hard not to cry. It was probably because the scream just now was too sudden.
Chu Xi looked up and saw the kitchen was a mess. The place where the stove should have been was actually empty. It was probably because the only iron pot in the kitchen that was worth a bit of money had disappeared...
A small water tank had been hit at the bottom by a not-too-big stone, creating a big hole and water was flowing all over the floor.
Several earthenware jars that were supposed to hold oil, salt, vinegar and other seasonings were all smashed.
The cabinet that was supposed to hold the grain had been pried out of shape, with a lock hanging alone on the door, leaving only a few scattered grain pieces...
Our family is already very poor, and I guess we won’t even have food to eat today!
Chu Xi sighed inwardly, what a sin! Wouldn't this make the already difficult situation of the family even worse?
Is this going to drive them to death? Is there such a deep hatred?
For a moment, Chu Xi wished he could chop down those beasts who deserved to be punished by heaven...
Looking at Chu Xia's bewildered expression, Chu Xi sighed inwardly. It was like a house leaking when it rained all night. Was God really trying to force someone to death? The world was so unfair...
At this time, Aqiu ignored his injuries and hopped out on one foot. Chuxia, who was still at a loss and had not yet recovered from her shock, seemed to be completely unaware and continued to shed tears...
This must be because he was devastated by the tragic suffering that followed.
"well……"
Chu Xi hurried forward to support Aqiu, but she struggled to come to her sister and hugged Chuxia directly.
"Sister, sister, don't scare me..."
Finally, as if she remembered that she had a younger sister and that she should stay strong, a light finally appeared in her lifeless eyes.
Slowly, Chuxia turned around, hugged her sister in her arms, and burst into tears.
Chu Xi looked at the two underage girls in front of him, feeling a mixture of emotions. This was the era, the poverty and weakness of many families, making it difficult for them to even get a single meal, not to mention the rampant hooligans, gangsters, village bullies, and vicious women in some places...
The world is difficult, and people’s hearts are unpredictable...
At this moment, outside the fence at the corner of the thatched house, a little boy of six or seven years old was looking into the yard, and was noticed by Chu Xi instantly.
The little boy suddenly saw a stranger and instinctively turned around and hid, but a few seconds later he turned around and walked towards him again.
"Sister Chuxia, I saw Grandma Liu Er bring several people to your house this afternoon. They took away a lot of your things..."
Without waiting for a reply, the little boy ran away with a "thump thump" sound.
After hearing this, Chuxia and Aqiu's faces turned pale. Aqiu's originally cute little face was also filled with hatred, and he began to grit his teeth...
Chu Xi helped the two of them into the room and listened to them slowly. Some things still needed to be said. If the two powerless girls kept it in like this, it would be very easy for something to get into trouble.
And it just so happens that Chu Xi likes to encounter bullies and young men like this. I hope I won’t be disappointed...
Slowly, the two of them told the story in bits and pieces about the causes and consequences of their feud with Grandma Liu's family.
It turned out that the so-called Second Grandma Liu was the sister-in-law of the two girls' grandfather. Because the old couple had passed away, she had been using the excuse that the two girls were about to get married and were "spilt water" and could not hold their own property and land. She wanted to take back the land and property of the Liu family and actually wanted to forcibly drive the two girls out...
This had already happened several times. The two girls had no relatives, and they couldn't beat them up or scold them. Fortunately, the village production team leader was an upright man and had tried to mediate several times. However, it was difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs, and he couldn't force the old lady to do anything, so you can imagine the situation the two girls were in...
The more Chu Xi listened, the angrier she became. This person was even more despicable than that old lady Shi. How could you, an outsider, get involved in other people's affairs? You were just leaving them no chance of survival...
"Well, since you won't let me live, I'll let you have a taste of this..."
