When Zhang Danniu's crying became quieter, Su Wantang took out a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket, opened it, and stuffed it into Zhang Danniu's mouth.
“Is it sweet?”
Zhang Da Niu had candy in her mouth and spoke vaguely: "Sweet!"
Su Wantang looked at the crying kid in front of him and started asking questions: "Why are you crying?"
Perhaps she was thinking of that sad thing again, Zhang Danniu's nose felt sore and she looked at Su Wantang with red eyes.
He opened his mouth, then lowered his head without uttering a word.
The book doesn’t describe much about the lives of these minor characters, so Su Wantang can only recall the memories of the original owners.
In the original owner's memory, Zhang Danniu had never had such a moment of collapse.
She has always been a sunny, cheerful and resilient girl.
What on earth could make her so sad?
Su Wantang couldn't think of anything, so he stared at her legs and asked directly: "My father said that you walk with a limp. Did you offend some hooligans? Were you beaten by them?"
Zhang Danniu then looked at Su Wantang again, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
She held Su Wantang's hand tightly and cried heartbreakingly: "Xiao Wan, how could there be such a heartless person like my father in this world?"
Memories flooded into Zhang Danniu's mind like a tide, and her eyes were filled with pain and disappointment.
In her childhood memories, the man called father always came home drunk and yelled at her and her mother.
Every time she saw her mother's frightened and helpless eyes, her little heart was filled with fear and anxiety.
Later, her parents divorced and she thought her life would be calmer, but she didn't expect that this so-called father would break into their lives again, and in such a cruel way.
She remembered that he came to her house today with that group of ferocious men. There was no trace of guilt on his face, only indifference and greed.
He just watched callously as his mother fainted and his grandmother was beaten, without showing the slightest bit of emotion.
Zhang Danniu's heart felt as if it was being cut by thousands of knives. She didn't understand why this man could be so cruel.
She once longed for fatherly love, even if it was just a little bit of care and love.
But over the years, he never gave her any warmth.
She worked hard to live and tried hard to protect her mother and grandmother, but he only thought about his own interests and treated her as an item that could be bought and sold at will.
"I always thought that no matter how bad he was, he wouldn't be so heartless."
Zhang Danniu's voice trembled, "I thought he still cared about me a little bit, after all, I am his daughter! But I was wrong, he didn't care about our life or death, he only cared about himself!"
Zhang Danniu's tears kept flowing, and her last bit of fantasy about her father was completely shattered at this moment.
She hated herself for having such a father, hated his ruthlessness and cruelty.
She bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of hatred and unwillingness.
She said hysterically, "He owed someone a gambling debt, and he was so cruel as to sell me to his creditor's son! Today, he even brought those beasts directly to my house and told my mother to get ready and get married in three days. My mother was so angry that she fainted on the spot."
"My grandmother was so angry that she started an argument with those people. Who would have thought that those beasts would actually beat my grandmother up? My grandmother is so old, and they actually had the heart to do that..."
"When I got home, I saw one of the beasts hit my grandmother with a stool. Luckily, I rushed over to block it for my grandmother. Otherwise, my grandmother..."
At this point, Zhang Danniu was already crying.
She buried her head tightly in Su Wantang's arms and said in despair: "Xiao Wan, I really hate myself for not being able to protect my mother and my grandmother!"
"Besides, do you know? I heard that the son of my father's creditor had married a wife before, but less than a month after the marriage, she was...beaten to death by him. I don't want to marry such a beast. I'm afraid, Xiao Wan..."
"But if I don't get married, my father will definitely bring those people to my house every day to make trouble. Xiao Wan, what do you think I should do..."
Su Wantang understood the whole story in bits and pieces.
A gambling father, a frightened mother, a beaten grandmother, and a broken her.
Looking at Zhang Da Nv who had already collapsed, Su Wantang patted her shoulder and helped her right herself from his arms.
Then he stared into her eyes and comforted her, "Zhang, calm down first and stop crying."
Zhang Danniu looked at Su Wantang helplessly.
Su Wantang asked her: "Did you report it to the police at that time?"
