Three days later, Li Qingqing came to their workplace crying, and Tang Cuihua learned that Tang Youjin had been arrested for speculation and profiteering.
The woman then accused her of framing them, asking if her husband was behind it all.
Cuihua was amused and annoyed: "If you interfere with my work again, don't blame me for calling the police!"
"You, you," Li Qingqing was furious, pointing at her incredulously, "You really don't care about your mother anymore? She's in Luan County now, I'm telling the truth, she and Cuicui are in the same place, they ran away, but they don't have a letter of introduction, so they can't come back!"
Before Li Qingqing could finish speaking, Tang Cuihua picked up the phone.
"Are you coming or not? If the police come, you'll have to go in with your man too!"
"You'll regret this, you heartless bastard! Your mother wasted her life giving birth to you bunch of rabbit daughters!"
Li Qingqing left cursing, and Cuihua had a moment of doubt as she watched her go.
"Could it be that Tang Cuicui and Cao Amei really escaped?"
She felt inexplicably irritated. She didn't want her to come back; her sisters were doing so well now, and she was just going to cling to one of them...
Cuihua didn't even dare to think further. Chinese people believe that there are no bad parents, only ignorant children.
The older generation's thinking is quite different from theirs. It looks like things are about to get chaotic. If they really let her come back, none of the nine sisters will have an easy time.
After returning home, Cuihua immediately began writing letters to her other sisters to discuss the matter, as she couldn't make the decision alone.
After receiving Tang Cuihua's letter, Xiao Jiu came up with a brilliant but wicked idea.
Little did she know that the replies from her other sisters coincided with her thoughts.
Cuihua held a stack of letters in her hand. After confirming her sisters' thoughts, she looked at the third sister who had returned home on vacation, as well as the seventh and eighth sisters.
"What are you all thinking? Tell me your thoughts. After all, she gave birth to us."
While we can't send her back to the mountains, we shouldn't even think about disturbing any of our lives.
Tang Cuilian showed no emotion on her face.
“My opinion is the same as my second sister’s. If she doesn’t come looking for us, then so be it. If she does come looking for us, then send her back to her parents’ home.”
The seventh brother looked at Tang Cuihua with some curiosity.
"Sister, you've been at the health center for so long, haven't you run into anyone from our grandmother's village?"
"Yes, of course there are. There are quite a few, but I don't know them very well."
Everyone's saying this is Old Cao's granddaughter. With such a successful grandson, why doesn't she come forward to acknowledge him? Why is she avoiding him?
After Cuihua finished speaking, she couldn't help but sneer, "Of course they wanted to admit it, but I shut them down!"
“I ran into my uncle and aunt when I was interning at the hospital. I would have just let it go if they hadn’t come looking for me.”
I never expected that they would shamelessly ask me to pay their medical expenses, saying that they were my maternal grandparents and that as their granddaughter, I should pay for them.
That made me laugh. 'Pah! The culprit who broke up our family has the nerve to ask me for money?'
Did your whole family consult with us before selling my mother to this poor mountain village? Did you give us a single penny of the money you got from the sale?
"My mother came back to you during the famine, and what did you do? You actually sold her a second time! Are you even human?"
In fact, Cuihua did not know whether she had sold Cao Amei the second time.
She only knew that the person had returned, but she couldn't believe that because it was hard here and there and there was no food, she had actually run back to the mountains.
Haha, who would believe that?
If they suffer so much on the plains, how could the conditions in the mountains be any better?
Unexpectedly, this family fled in a guilty conscience after being tricked so easily.
It's obvious that the old man and woman don't understand, yet they still scolded her for being unfilial and for raising them for nothing.
Looking at the couple who were extremely sexist, Tang Cuihua thought of the injustices that Cao Amei had suffered since childhood, which had affected her and her sisters.
None of the sisters in the dream had a good life. If that were true, it could be said that Cao Amei and Tang Youtian ruined all nine of them.
She woke up from her dream, her sisters were all found, and there was hope for the future. Why should she let them ruin it?
So she very kindly told them about how their son had conspired with his sisters to sell them off time and time again.
Seeing their unchanged faces, Cuihua's heart froze in that instant.
"It seems you do know, but you're just pretending not to."
You all gave birth to them, so why should daughters have to make sacrifices for sons?
Since you've already accepted the fact that they sold my mother, how dare you come here and ask me to pay her medical expenses?
"At your age, don't you have any shame?"
The old man clutched his chest in anger, the old woman lay on the ground throwing a tantrum, and their son and daughter-in-law stood in the crowd, crying and listing Cuihua's faults as if squeezing cat pee.
Fortunately, Cuihua is no longer the timid and ignorant rural girl she once was. She has come this far step by step and has learned a great deal from her sisters from later generations. How could she possibly be convicted of a crime by just a few words from them?
They cried out, thinking she wouldn't?
She first rattled off a list of all the crimes her family had committed, then wailed that they had sold her mother twice.
Even when her mother married her father, they tried every means to swindle a lot of dowry. After the marriage, her mother endlessly helped her own family.
But what did such a daughter ultimately get in return?
They were repeatedly sold to remote mountains and forests, where they lived a life of darkness and misery.
With a family like that, whoever wants to help can help; she's not so foolish as to help her enemy.
Whenever someone stood up to speak well of the Cao family, Cuihua would stare at them intently, first flattering them, and then, as if it were her right, morally blackmailing them. She accused the Cao family of having no bottom line, even trying to extort money from strangers, which frightened the other person so much that they didn't dare to watch the spectacle anymore and quickly returned to their ward.
"See? Nobody feels pain unless they cut themselves with the knife."
"It's easy to talk when you're not in their shoes. Whoever speaks up for them will just pay for it, since you're all kind-hearted!"
...
"Such a big thing, you kept it a secret from me, sister, you didn't even tell me."
"Why say it out loud? It's already disgusting enough."
However, I didn't lose that match, and now they avoid me whenever they see me.
At this point, Cuihua paused, "Does your school have students from their village?"
Tang Cuifeng nodded, "Yes, does Eldest Sister want us to leak this?"
"Yes, just tell them that our mother has already reported it to the police in Luan County. She wants to sue my uncle and his family for selling her."
As for what happens next, well, that's none of their business.
"Sister, people from Nanwa Village and Zhao Family Village have asked about our old names."
Cuihua raised an eyebrow. "Younger than you?"
"Well, he's five or six years younger than us, but we don't know him, so we didn't acknowledge him."
Then they were quite honest, "Yeah, I don't think so either, but my mom said you look familiar and insisted I ask. How could that be? The surnames are different."
