An An's tone became calmer and calmer: "In the end, the fool was beaten badly by his brother. He fell to the ground in pain, bleeding all over the floor. I know he treats me well, but I can't stay here any longer. I have to escape from this place."
"Anyway, the idiot is their child. No matter what, his parents will take care of him. I can't care about that. I took advantage of the chaos and ran out desperately."
"But when the villagers heard the noise, they all came out to stop me, because there were people in the village who had bought wives from human traffickers, and they were afraid that I would go out and make things worse."
"I said that my silly brother wanted to bully me, but they said that I seduced men and regarded me as a nuisance. They wanted to capture me and lock me up in the sheepfold."
"I was so scared at the time. I couldn't be caught or I would be finished. I might not have the chance to escape. So I ran out of the village desperately. I ran as fast as I could."
"In my panic, I didn't see clearly and fell off the cliff."
When saying this, An An had no expression, but Jiang Xiachu and Lin Qingli were already crying, each holding one of An An's hands, tears streaming down their faces.
An An's voice trembled as she continued, "I thought I would die under the cliff. That would be good, at least I would be completely free and no one would bully me. But maybe God was unwilling to let me go. I fell from such a high cliff, but because I landed on a tree in the middle, it cushioned my fall and I didn't die."
"I was injured, but not fatally. I was rescued by a few people who healed my wounds. Before I had time to thank them, I found out their identities."
"They are human traffickers. That day I heard them discussing selling me to an old man."
When An An said this, she finally couldn't hold it in anymore. The emotions that she had tried to keep calm completely collapsed. Tears welled up in her eyes, and the big tears slid down her thin and pale cheeks and dripped onto her clothes.
"At that time, I hated everyone, including God. Why did he treat me like this? From the beginning to the end, I was like an object, being bought and sold back and forth. I was never free."
An An cried out of breath: "For so many years, I was like an animal, being driven around, beaten and scolded. No one respected me, and no one cared about my feelings. I couldn't find a destination or a home. I thought about giving up many times and even dying."
"But every time I feel unwilling, I always think that maybe one day, I can escape from it all."
After hearing this, Jiang Xiachu and Lin Qingli, who had been sitting quietly by the side, burst into tears.
They held An An's hands tightly.
Jiang Xiachu's voice was trembling and firm, and he said gently: "An An, don't be afraid, you are no longer alone. We will never let those bad people who hurt you go. We will help you get justice and let you regain your identity and dignity."
As the words fell, a hint of cruelty flashed in Jiang Xiachu's eyes.
If Meng Wanyue had not colluded with the human traffickers and snatched away An An's identity, how could An An have lived such a miserable life, being bullied and beaten by so many people.
Almost...
After hearing what An An said, she wanted to kill those beasts.
She is just a girl, but they forced her to this point. Their consciences must have been eaten by dogs.
Lin Qingli raised her hand to wipe away her tears and nodded heavily, "Yes, An An, I won't let go of those who bully you!"
An An turned her head slightly and looked at Jiang Xiachu and Lin Qingli, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
After meeting them, she felt for the first time what it felt like to be cared for.
"Thank you."
An An said softly, the crying and helplessness in her voice dissipated a lot, and her tone gradually became firm.
"The results of the paternity test will be out tomorrow." Thinking of what Jiang Xiachu mentioned, An An couldn't help but feel nervous.
Her memories of her childhood were so vague that she had no idea where she came from, and could only rely on a paternity test to confirm her identity.
She was more nervous than anyone else, afraid that tomorrow's results would not be satisfactory.
Jiang Xiachu understood An An's fear and nervousness. She gently patted the back of An An's hand and said in a soft voice, "Don't worry, An An, there will definitely be a good result tomorrow. We will be with you."
An An nodded, but she was still a little scared.
Although she could not remember anything about her childhood over the years, she never gave up looking for her family and asked around to see if any family had lost a child.
But there is no result.
She had been looking for her relatives for so many years, but she had been rejected again and again and had long lost confidence.
More than once she wanted to ask God why he bullied her like this.
An An took a deep breath and said with eyes closed: "I just want to have a home and parents who love me."
Jiang Xiachu felt extremely distressed.
She could empathize the most with what An An said.
Although she had a family over the years, she had never felt the love of her mother or father. Instead, she was always scolded as a burden and a wild child.
An An was having a worse life than her, and she felt especially sad for An An.

As the sky darkened and the night became extremely dark, it was especially quiet outside the alley and the lights in almost every household were off.
There was no sound, only the occasional bird call breaking the silence.
Meng Wanyue was lying on the bed. She didn't know why, but she felt particularly restless tonight. She tossed and turned, not feeling sleepy at all. She was restless and kept thinking about all sorts of random things.
Her heartbeat kept accelerating unconsciously, and she always felt that Meng Shouyang and Mulan were up to something again.
Will they suddenly come over again and say they want to take her away?
Thinking of this, Meng Wanyue was filled with fear.
She picked up a match beside her and lit the small kerosene lamp beside the bed. In the dim light, she opened the drawer of the table and fumbled in the drawer for a long time before she found a brown paper package.
The light was dim. She held the brown paper package in her hand, reading it carefully over and over again, frowning.
Meng Wanyue's eyes darkened, and after a while, she put the thing under the pillow.
This packet of medicine is her only chance.
After a long time, she turned off the kerosene lamp, lay down, and her heart gradually calmed down and she fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Meng Wanyue had just woken up when she suddenly heard some noise coming from outside the yard and suddenly woke up.
She supported herself on the bed, got up hurriedly, walked to the closet beside her, found some clothes to change into, and quickly tidied herself up.
She walked to the table and sat down. She looked at herself in the mirror two or three times before she felt relieved. She opened the door and strode out.
