Wan Shu agreed, "That's right, girl, this isn't your fault; you're also a victim."
The four little ones followed behind, nodding in agreement.
Si Ya: "Yes! Big Sister, you're a victim too!"
San Shun: "Liang Yaozu, Li Chuanzong, and Li Dagen are the real perpetrators. If we have to blame someone, it should be them."
Wu Ping: "Sister Daniu, please stop crying. Seeing you cry so sadly makes me want to cry too!"
Er Ya: "Sister Danu, your hand is injured. I was worried something might happen, so I brought some medicine with me. Let me help you treat it."
Li Daniu looked up in disbelief: "You, none of you blame me?"
“It’s not your fault.” Wan Shu looked at her gently. “I’ve already said that this is not your fault. You are also a victim.”
The gentler Wan Shu and the others were, the more ashamed Li Dani felt. She said, "That's true, but in the end I still followed Liang Yaozu's orders and hurt Brother Dazhu."
Damage? What kind of damage is this?
Wan Shu raised an eyebrow with amusement: "You did follow Liang Yaozu's orders, but you didn't hurt Dazhu. If you don't believe me, ask him. You've been coming to talk to Dazhu every day these past few days. Has Dazhu felt uncomfortable?"
Dazhu blushed and honestly said, "No, I don't feel uncomfortable."
After saying that, she added quietly, "I think it's fine this way."
"Hahahaha, it seems that Big Brother not only doesn't feel uncomfortable, but even enjoys it quite a bit!" Si Ya started to cheer without any restraint.
Er Ya covered her mouth and chuckled. San Shun and Wu Ping exchanged a glance, both giving each other knowing looks.
Now, Da Niu's face turned red with embarrassment, but she still mustered up her courage, looked at them, and sincerely thanked them, as well as offering her reminder.
“Aunt Liang, thank you for being lenient with me. I’m really grateful that you don’t blame me. But… you should be more careful in the future when dealing with things like this. Brother Dazhu is simple-minded and too honest. If you’re not careful, I’m afraid he’ll be deceived.”
Da Niu is such a good girl. Even in this situation, she doesn't forget to care about Da Zhu and remind them.
Wan Shu pondered this in her heart.
Since Dazhu and Da Niu are in love, and Da Niu is indeed a good girl, she might as well let them be together.
However, before that can be done, the Li family and Liang Yaozu, these cancerous elements, must be dealt with.
They wanted to harm her son, so she wouldn't let them get away with it!
A fierce glint flashed in Wan Shu's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face and spoke in a gentle tone.
“We weren’t actually careless. We just had the same idea as you: to teach Dazhu a lesson. That’s why we followed behind you secretly, ready to testify when you made your move.”
If Li Daniu really did do as Liang Yaozu instructed, then their testimony would definitely be more than just testifying.
This will ensure that Liang Yaozu, Li Chuanzong, Li Dagen, and Li Daniu all receive the punishment they deserve.
However, things didn't develop to that point, so there was no need to say anything. Wan Shu just asked curiously, "Da Niu, why didn't you do as Liang Yaozu instructed? You even said you told him you were getting married and leaving?"
Dazhu asked nervously, "Da Niu, did Li Chuanzong and Li Dagen really tell you about someone else?"
Seeing how anxious he was, Da Niu felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and she shook her head slightly.
"They didn't tell me about the other person."
"Although I agreed to Liang Yaozu's request on the surface, after getting to know him for a while, I know that Brother Dazhu is a good person, and Aunt Liang and you have all been very kind to me."
"Although I am not as well-educated as Liang Yaozu, I understand that I cannot be an ungrateful person. I would never use such despicable means to frame Brother Dazhu!"
“But if I don’t listen to Liang Yaozu, he will instruct Li Chuanzong to beat my mother every day…”
When Li Danu mentioned Sun, her voice choked with emotion.
"Although my mother is weak, she has always been very good to us five sisters. When she still had the strength, she always protected us five sisters from being beaten. If my mother were in imminent danger, I would not abandon her."
"So, after discussing it with Erniu and the others, we decided to leave Qingshui Village tonight with Mother! To live somewhere else!"
This decision might not seem like much in modern times, but in ancient times when men were superior to women, it was absolutely shocking.
Moreover, there must be many difficulties involved.
Even a little girl like Siya, who is only ten years old, can understand the difficulties involved.
“Your household registration is in Qingshui Village. If you go to other places, you won’t be able to settle down without a household registration, and you won’t have a house or land. What will you eat then? How will you survive?”
For a little girl like Siya, who is only ten years old, to think of so much is enough to show how intelligent Aunt Liang is as a mother.
Li Daniu knew that her idea would definitely not escape Wan Shu's notice, so she stopped trying to hide it and lowered her head.
“When I went to the county town to find Brother Dazhu, I met a young man who said that as long as we were willing to sell a girl to him, he could help us solve the household registration problem and was also willing to give us another sum of money.”
"Anyway, all five of us in the family are girls, so we can just sell one to him."
Li Daniu spoke lightly, but Wan Shu and the others knew that the person Li Daniu wanted to sell was actually herself.
After all, a girl is still a girl, and the only one who can be called a young lady in terms of age is Li Danu, the eldest sister.
What happened next was something Wan Shu and the others could guess without Li Daniu having to tell them.
Pretty girls like Li Danu who were sold would either be sold to brothels or to wealthy families as concubines.
In any case, she was destined to become a sex slave and would never have a chance to be with Dazhu again. So she wanted to see Dazhu one last time and, by the way, use herself as an example to teach Dazhu a lesson so that he would not be deceived by others in the future.
Dazhu had clearly come to terms with these things as well. He grabbed Da Niu's hand and said emotionally, "No way! I will never allow you to sell yourself to a boy!"
“If I could, why would I want to sell myself?” Da Niu said bitterly. “But only in this way can we completely get rid of Li Chuanzong and Liang Yaozu.”
Wan Shu's lips curled slightly: "I have a way to help you get rid of Li Chuanzong and Liang Yaozu completely without having to leave Qingshui Village, but..."
The young woman was intrigued and asked eagerly, "But what!?"
"However, it requires the cooperation of your mother and your sisters. Moreover, once this method is used, one of the three—Li Dagen, Li Chuanzong, and Liang Yaozu—may lose their lives."
Wan Shu stared into Da Niu's eyes, her expression more serious than ever before: "No matter what, they are still your family, Da Niu, can you really be so heartless?"
