Chapter 147 Little Sister (2)
…
Tao Tao said coldly: "Take a good look at your child's hands!"
Hua Niuniang really grabbed the little girl's hand, and was stunned when she took a look.
Tao Tao instructed her son, "Xiao Feibai, stretch out your hand so Hua Niu's mother can see it."
Xiao Feibai didn't know why this was happening, but he still obediently stretched out his little hands and held them up high for Hua Niuniang to see.
——Xiao Feifei’s hands are small, white and tender. The palms and backs of his hands were clean, and his nails were a healthy pink.
Compare it to Hua Niu's swollen, frostbitten, ragged hands.
Hua Niuniang burst into tears and cried out loudly, "I, I... Hua Niuniu, why are you so miserable that you were born in my belly?"
Tao Tao said bluntly: "It's a new society now. There's no such thing as reincarnation or rebirth. We are all equal. There's no such thing as a jinx!"
Hua Niuniang looked at Taotao, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
In the end, she didn't say anything, but just sighed for a long time and said tiredly: "Comrade Bai, thank you for protecting my Hua Niu. You are Hua Niu's savior, but I, I don't have the ability to thank you, I..."
As she said this, she wanted to kneel down.
Tao Tao stopped her and said, "Don't you want to improve the situation between you and Hua Niu?"
Hua Niuniu's mother shook her head sadly, "Comrade Bai, do you think I want to make myself unhappy? Do you think I am willing to apologize to others? Of course I don't want to... but there is no one left in my mother's family! If we leave Lingxi, my mother and I will have nowhere to go. This is a desert, and there is no one living within a hundred miles. If we leave here, we will die... It doesn't matter if I die, but Hua Niuniu is only three years old!"
As she spoke, Hua Niuniang started to cry, "I have no choice! I am not from this village. If I want to stay here, I have to accept this marriage and serve that bastard! I also have to go to work to support myself, Hua Niuniu, and that man! I, I am also very tired. I really don't have the energy to bother with those trivial matters, so I..."
After hearing what Hua Niuniang said, Taotao looked at her in a different light.
"Since you are a sensible person, I feel relieved. However, you still have to fight for what you should fight for... By the way, if you want to improve your and Hua Niu's living conditions, I do have a suggestion." Taotao said.
Hua Niuniang quickly asked, "What's the proposal?"
Tao Tao asked back, "Let me ask you first, why did Hua Niu wash so many clothes and freeze her hands like that?"
Hua Niuniang sighed, "It was originally everyone's good intention to let her help with the laundry, and the reward was one potato per family. She could wash clothes for four or five families a day, and in return she could get four or five potatoes, which was just enough for a meal."
Tao Tao, "Starting tomorrow, don't let her do the laundry. Let her help me take care of Xiao Feibai! I'll pay her... one lunch a day!"
After a pause, Tao Tao emphasized, "It's just Xiao Hua Niu's lunch, it doesn't include you and your husband."
Hua Niuniang was stunned and thought: Hua Niuniu washes clothes for four or five families a day and can get four or five potatoes, which is enough to feed the whole family with one meal. But if I come to help Bai Taotao look after the children, will Hua Niu be the only one to have lunch?
but--
Hua Niuniang thought again: Bai Taotao is someone that no one in the village dares to offend. If Hua Niuniang stays with Bai Taotao, even if she only has one meal a day, at least this child will not be bullied!
Besides, it was such a cold day, and the three-year-old child was helping others wash clothes. The potatoes he earned were used to feed his parents...but that damn man still tortured, beat and scolded the child like that! He is clearly capable of getting out of bed to relieve himself, but he chooses to poop right on the bed!
If Hua Niu had a place to stay, she would have the energy to punish that dead man!
Then Hua Niuniang hugged Hua Niu and knelt down in front of Tao Tao, saying with tears in her eyes: "Comrade Bai, thank you for your great kindness!"
Taotao felt helpless.
"Hurry up! What nonsense are you talking about!" Tao Tao scolded, "We women's kneecaps are very strong, we can't just kneel down!"
As she spoke, she pulled the mother and daughter up.
