"Why did I give birth to you and get this as retribution! If I had known you were such a despicable thing, I should have drowned you in a bucket when you were born!"
Her mother scolded her harshly and picked up the carrying pole at the door to hit her.
Zhaodi, who had been in the room, rushed out and hugged Wu Axiu tightly, "Mom, don't hit my sister, don't..."
"Get away from me!" Wu Ah Xiu pushed her second sister away. "If I don't beat her to death today, she didn't crawl out of my intestines!"
"Second sister, please go away." Lin Qingping also wanted to resolve this matter completely.
When Wu Ah Xiu really hit him with a carrying pole, Lin Qingping grabbed it firmly and asked, "Mom, I want to ask you, are my second sister and I your daughters?"
Wu Ah Xiu was so angry that she pulled at the carrying pole but failed to pull it back. "What an unfilial thing I raised! Doesn't he recognize his parents now that he has climbed up the social ladder?"
"If so, are you really willing to let your second sister go to a family like that, to be treated like a slave? To be beaten to death by men?" Lin Qingping felt heartbroken when she thought of her second sister in her previous life, who was skinny, had white hair at a young age, and finally died alone and miserable in the hospital.
Her mother choked at the question and straightened her neck. "Being beaten must be the woman's fault. Why would she be beaten when she was fine? Our Zhaodi is so obedient and hardworking. She would only enjoy a good life if she married. How could she be beaten?"
Victim blaming...
"Enjoying life? Do you think that serving the whole family from morning till night, and washing their feet at night is enjoying life? Or is it enjoying life to do the work of two men alone in the fields? Even in such a situation, you still have to get beaten every few days. You can enjoy such a blessing yourself! Ah——"
Before Lin Qingping could finish her words, she felt a sharp pain on her forehead and a large enamel bowl hit her head.
The person who hit her was her father who had just returned from the fields.
Lin Qingping felt something dripping down her forehead. She touched it and it was blood...
The enamel bowl fell to the ground with a loud noise.
The second sister was frightened, and quickly hugged her sister and began to cry, "Don't hit me, don't hit me, I...I promise..."
"Don't agree to it!" Lin Qingping stood straight, "Follow me!"
She held her second sister's hand tightly and suddenly made up her mind. Yes, take her second sister away. She couldn't stay here all the time. Once she left, her parents might still accept the gift money and marry her off. So, just take her away!
The most important thing is that if she takes it back, her second sister will have time to review her studies properly.
However, when she said "Follow me", everyone in the Lin family was shocked.
Her mother mocked her first, "Go with you? Why are you taking away the daughter I raised?"
"For 500 yuan!" Lin Qingping said loudly, "Don't you want the 500 yuan betrothal gift? It's the same if I give you 500 yuan. I will take my second sister away!"
"You... really have five hundred dollars?" Her mother looked at her in disbelief.
"Yes!" Lin Qingping really did. Gu Juncheng sent money home every month, and her mother-in-law gave it all to her. This time when he came back to visit his family, he also gave her all his savings.
Five hundred is not a small sum, and it takes a large stack to withdraw. Lin Qingping held the second sister's hand tightly and said, "If you believe me, just wait. I will withdraw the money and send it to you tomorrow. If you don't believe me, follow me now and we will go to the bank to withdraw it."
When she went to the county town yesterday, she brought the note with her, ready for use in case of large sums of money. But she forgot to put it away when she got home, and it is still in her small cloth bag today.
In this matter, I have to say that her mother is really swift and decisive. She immediately waved her hand and said, "Go get it with you!"
Does this mean you agree to let her take her second sister away?
"Let's go." Although it was a hot day, Lin Qingping felt cold in her heart. Her forehead was still bleeding, but it was obvious that her parents didn't care...
Some people are the same in both lives...
Immediately, she took her second sister and her mother to the county to get money.
There were no banks in their village at that time.
On the way out, her father moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed it back.
In a small savings bank in the county town, Lin Qingping counted 50 10-yuan bills clearly with her mother.
The moment she gave the money, she inexplicably felt that she was even.
Holding my second sister in my arms, I felt relieved, yet also a little sad.
"Okay! I won't talk about Zhaodi's marriage. Zhaodi, you and your sister should go and live there for a while..."
"It's not about staying for a while, it's about following me from now on!" Lin Qingping corrected her.
Her mother had just received some money, more than she had ever seen in her life, and could buy her son many things. She didn't argue with them for the moment, "Okay, okay, you can stay as long as you like!"
Then he went back happily with the money in his pocket.
But the second sister, watching her mother leave like this, leaned in Lin Qingping's arms, crying bitterly.
After all, he is a child who has never left his mother, and after all, he is only 18 years old.
"Let's go, let's go home too. Your brother-in-law is away from home for a long time anyway, so you can sleep with me. We two sisters will depend on each other in the future." Lin Qingping touched her sister's dry hair and choked.
"Yeah." The second sister nodded in her arms.
Everything that happened today happened so fast, so fast that it was unbelievable, but she really didn't want to marry a man like that so early and then be beaten to death.
After making a fuss for most of the day, Lin Qingping felt hungry. Thinking that his sister must not have eaten anything, he took her to a state-owned restaurant to have a bowl of noodles.
It was the first time for my second sister to eat in a place like this, and she felt that everything was new and interesting.
When the noodles came, they tasted delicious.
Lin Qingping looked at her, feeling a little comforted, and smiled, "Is it delicious?"
The second sister was a little shy and nodded.
"Is this place good?" Lin Qingping asked again.
The second sister could only nod, and then blushed because she was inexperienced.
"In the future, I will let you eat better food and go to a better place than here. Second sister, can we change our name? Let's call you... Lin Qingyun. From now on, you will rise to the top." Lin Qingping said the name word by word.
The second sister drank the last mouthful of noodle soup and nodded, "Yes, I will listen to you."
"Come on, let's go home."
Lin Qingping took her second sister back to Gujia Village.
When I calmed down, I realized that I had done something that was a bit against the will of heaven.
It's easy to explain to her parents-in-law for the time being. It's not a big deal for her to bring her sister back to stay for a few days, but letting her stay for a long time and giving 500 yuan to her parents' home is a big deal.
She decided to explain the matter to Gu Juncheng first and see what he had to say.
As I thought about this, I walked back to the village hand in hand with my sister. Slowly, it got dark.
When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I found a bright ball of light flickering there.
