Chapter 7 The Neglected Child



Second Sister-in-law Xie was extremely regretful. She wondered why she had come to wade into this muddy water. Why couldn't she be more tough and just come over when her mother-in-law asked her to? Although she had only nudged Su Li's arm from beginning to end, she was involved after all!

Li Ruiying saw that Xie's mother dared not to admit it, and she slapped her in the face. "Bah, nonsense, that damned bastard spread rumors and slandered my daughter. Who, come out. Who?"

Mother Xie was sweating profusely. She looked at Sister Xie.

Mrs. Xie looked very confident; she had heard it with her own ears, so how could it be false?

Several children in the corner trembled when they heard what the adults said, especially the older Tiedan. His small body trembled. He heard his aunt say that Aunt Su was going to sell the child to someone else as a child bride. Is it Baoya? He grasped the corner of Baoya's clothes. No, my sister is the most timid, and he can't let Aunt Su sell her.

Hu Zi and Shi Tou were very upset when they heard that they were going to sell their children. Their mother didn't like them. They rarely appeared in front of her. In their memory, their mother never hugged them and sometimes even beat them. They didn't know why, but when Dabao from Lao Laizi's family had time to eat, his mother would caress him and hug him and kiss him. They were very envious when they saw it. They also wanted their mother to hug them, but their mother never did. Now they were going to be sold? The two little guys couldn't understand and burst into tears.

Baoya's little body was pressed tightly against Tiedan.

"Brother, wuwu~ Don't sell Baoya. Baoya, eat less in the future. Brother, Baoya doesn't want to be separated from you, wuwu~".

Hearing his sister crying, Tiedan was terrified. He thought he could work harder in the future, take good care of his younger brothers and sisters, and never let Aunt Su down. He could do that.

In the past, he and his sister lived with relatives. Not only did they not have enough food a day, but they also had to do a lot of work. If they didn't finish the work, they would be beaten.

Fortunately, Uncle Xie took them away. Although Uncle Xie was not at home all year round, Aunt Su did not like them, nor did she like Huzi and Shitou. They often did not have enough food, did not have warm clothes, and sometimes were beaten. But at least they had a home, did not have to work all the time, and grandparents often fed them. Aunt Su sometimes shared some delicious food with them when she was happy. The four of them gathered together to share and felt very happy. She did not want the four of them to be separated.

Several children were frightened and pulled Tiedan's clothes towards him. A group of adults were arguing hard and didn't care about the children in the corner at all.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "The doctor is coming, the doctor is coming, get out of the way."

Sun Dafu heard someone calling him and saying that there was a fight in the Xie family and someone was injured, so he hurried over with his first aid kit and took a look when he got closer.

Hiss~ You’re so cruel.

We rushed him in for treatment. Fortunately, although the injury looked serious, the wound was either too big or bled a lot, which looked scary.

The pinch marks on his neck are quite severe and have turned purple. His throat must have been injured.

Everyone felt relieved after hearing what Sun Dafu said. Sun Dafu asked Su Fuqiang, the eldest brother of the Su family, to carry Su Li into the house and told them to take good care of her and to speak out if there was anything wrong. How could they hit anyone?

Mother Xie also regretted repeatedly, hating herself for doing such a cruel thing in a fit of anger. Fortunately, Su Li was not seriously injured, otherwise she would have to go to jail.

Before everyone could come forward to take a look at Su Li, Li Ruiying drove them all out.

She walked to the head of the bed and touched her daughter's little face, tears couldn't stop falling. She believed that her daughter would not do such a stupid thing. She thought that if she hadn't come here today, her daughter would have been beaten to death. She wanted to seek justice for her daughter.

Li Ruiying tucked in the corner of Su Li's quilt, turned around, closed the door and went out.

The Xie family was really lively today. I heard that someone was almost killed. Some people were watching the excitement from the top of the wall. Li Ruiying was afraid that their noise would disturb Su Li, so she asked the eldest, second and third brothers to drive everyone to the front door. That was why there was no one in the room when Su Li woke up.

Just at this time, the village chief of Kamikawa Village came over.

Su Li listened to Li Ruiying crying out for justice to the village chief. Based on the original owner's memory, she knew that the original owner's mother was protective and loved her, and she had a correct outlook on life when it came to major issues.

But now she is seriously injured and belongs to a vulnerable group, so she can use this opportunity to clear herself, no, the original owner.

In this way, her life will be much more convenient when she goes out in the future.

When Su Li walked to the gate, she heard Li Ruiying telling the village chief Li Waishan that she was going to call the police and ask for justice, so that the police could give her daughter justice.

Li Waishan was really troubled. The Xie family was usually honest and had a good reputation, except for Su Li who loved to gossip. He didn't expect that Xie's mother, at her old age, could do such an earth-shaking thing.

Hearing that Li Ruiying was going to call the police, Li Waishan immediately became nervous. This year, the overall grain harvest in Shanghe Village was better than in previous years, and there was great hope that their brigade would be awarded the mobile red flag of "Advanced Brigade". If they called the police at this time, Shanghe Village would definitely be used as an example by the higher-ups.

"Su Li's mother, calm down. Now we know that Zhang Guihua beat Su Li. Su Li is fine right now. Let's negotiate."

Other villagers also followed suit, after all, Xie's mother was a really kind person.

Because of Su Li's reputation in Shanghe Village, most people still dislike Su Li. As to whether she really did steal people and sell children, many people think it's almost certain, but they are not sure since Su Li's mother made such a fuss.

Aunt Lanzhi, who lived next door to Xie's mother, took Li Ruiying's hand and said, "Sister-in-law! As parents, we must seek justice for our children. Seeing our children being bullied is like cutting our own flesh. But everything is justified. We all know how Guihua treats Su Li. There must be a misunderstanding about what happened today."

Several other aunts and sisters-in-law persuaded Li Ruiying and echoed Aunt Xinghua, nodding their heads in agreement.

Li Ruiying listened to her aunt's words. Although she knew that she was targeting Xie's mother, her anger subsided a lot. "Sister, don't fool me. I'm not going to give up my reputation today. I just want a way out."
