The child's pitiful cries were enough to make anyone feel sorry for him.
Except for her own mother.
The woman pulled her over, raised her hand and slapped her hard on the buttocks twice, cursing angrily, "Stop wailing! Aren't you ashamed!"
“Your older brother is of marriageable age, and you know our family’s circumstances.”
"If I don't sell you, how will I find him a wife?"
"Your father and I worked ourselves to the bone to raise you, and you don't even think about repaying us?"
At this point, she got quite angry with herself.
He poked the little girl's forehead hard with his thick, dark fingers and continued, "I don't know what sins I committed in my past life to give birth to such a worthless brat like you!"
After saying this, the little girl seemed to pause for a moment, and then fell silent.
She stopped pleading and even wiped away her tears, walking forward blankly like a puppet on a string.
Xianglan frowned as she watched this scene, wishing she could rush over and smash the woman's shoe.
At this moment, Shen Qiyin suddenly lifted her foot and walked over.
Xianglan thought that with her young lady's fighting ability, she could definitely take care of this guy in no time. Unexpectedly, Shen Qiyin rarely showed her emotions and questioned the woman: "Why did you push her into the fire pit?"
"Isn't she your biological daughter?"
"Just because she's a daughter, does that mean she deserves to be abandoned and used by you?"
"How can someone like you be fit to be a mother?"
Shen Qiyin became more and more agitated as she spoke, her eyes slightly reddening.
The woman was naturally displeased to be scolded by a stranger for no reason. However, seeing that Shen Qiyin was quite beautiful and dressed very elegantly, she did not dare to offend her rashly. She even smiled and said, "What are you saying, young lady? This is my own daughter. It's just that my family is in dire straits, so I had to sell her."
"Look at my child, she's good-looking and tough, perfect as a maid."
"It won't cost more than a few taels of silver. Are you satisfied with that?"
Xianglan was completely stunned.
They must be obsessed with money to have their first reaction after being verbally abused by a stranger be to ask the other person to buy their child.
Shen Qiyin frowned and pressed her hand to her chest, as if she could no longer breathe properly.
Having weathered so many storms, Xianglan never imagined that one day she would be so angered by a strange woman.
Xianglan understood that what truly angered her was not the woman herself, but that she saw the former Sun Shi and herself in this mother and daughter.
"Miss……"
Shen Qiyin gripped Xianglan's hand tightly, almost unable to stand.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by a crisp "slap" sound, and a not-so-tall figure stood in front of Shen Qiyin to protect her.
At the same time, the familiar loud voice came through clearly.
Li Zhenzhu pointed at the woman's nose and scolded, "You're quite old, and you're using your tiny head to bully children, aren't you?"
"Come on, let's see if you can handle a few moves!"
"Believe it or not, I'll shove your mouth, which you used to kill a child, into an oil pot!"
The woman was stunned when she was suddenly slapped. But when she heard Li Zhenzhu's words, she misunderstood and thought that Li Zhenzhu was helping the child. So she retorted, "Are you sick? I'm scolding my own daughter, what's it to you!"
"It's none of my business?" Li Zhenzhu put her hands on her hips and raised her voice again: "You made my daughter so angry that she can't breathe, and you still dare to say it's none of my business?"
"You old hag, if I don't show you what I'm capable of today, you won't know how powerful I am!"
Before he finished speaking, he scratched the woman's face hard!
