Mrs. He originally wanted to go to Su Qing to settle the score, after all, he had destroyed so many of her things. But after hearing about Daya's situation, she gave up the idea.
Su Qing is completely different now. If I go there rashly, I might lose even more money.
Old Mrs. He could only swallow this grievance, and naturally she became more and more disgusted with He Hong and the others who were causing trouble.
"Where's that money-losing bastard He Hong? With so much work to do, why doesn't she come out and help out?"
At this time, He Fang was squatting on the ground picking soybean seeds. Her calves were covered with marks from being beaten by Old Lady He with a thin bamboo stick.
When she heard that Old Lady He was looking for He Hong, she became even more panicked.
He Hong ran away when Su Qing smashed the He family's things and did not come back all night.
Old Lady He searched the whole house but couldn't find any trace of He Hong. "That damn girl, if she has the guts, she should just never come back. It turns out that money-losing girls are all ungrateful and can never be tamed."
At this time, He Hong, who was being talked about by Old Mrs. He, was lying on the coal-loaded carriage of the train.
When she saw Su Qing smashing the house to pieces, she knew that she would be beaten badly.
Why can her aunt (He Aihua) eat and drink delicious food, dress up beautifully and go to the town to play every day, while she and He Fang, He Mei and He Li have endless work to do?
Rather than waiting to be beaten to death by Old Mrs. He at home, it is better to run away. At least there is still a way out.
With the help of several people who were planning to jump on the train together, she successfully got on the carriage.
Although she didn't know where the train was going, at least it was a hope of escaping to life.
Before she knew it, she fell asleep on the pile of coal.
She was not discovered until the staff came to add coal to the train.
She looked around and found that she was the only one left in the carriage, and the people she had been traveling with had long disappeared.
After arriving at the station, she was immediately kicked off the train by the train staff.
I was pushed to the exit by the crowd of people leaving the station.
Soon she was being targeted.
"Little sister, you're all alone. What are you doing in the provincial capital? Are you looking for work too?"
He Hong was stunned. City people are different. They always speak in a soft voice.
The clothes she was wearing were also very nice, probably made of Dacron. She had seen He Aihua wearing them as well.
"Yes, yes, I came to the provincial capital to find a job."
"Then you're lucky to have met me. My name is Sister Hua, and I'm the owner of a clothing store. I'm short of staff. Would you like to come with me?"
"Yes, yes."
The inexperienced He Hong just followed him away in a daze.
When He Hong saw that she really took her to a place to buy clothes, she believed her words even more.
"Sister Hua, the new stuff isn't that great."
"You're the only one who has too many things to do. Why bother with it by doing odd jobs in the store first and just take care of yourself? The last few batches of goods haven't been shipped out yet, so why rush?"
"Come here, this is Brother Li, the deputy manager of this store. If you don't know something, just ask him."
"Hello, Brother Li. My name is He Hong. I'm from the 5th production team in Shuixiang Village, Yuanshan Town. My grandfather's name is..."
"Stop, stop, you're being too old-fashioned. Who would introduce themselves like that?"
When He Hong heard herself being called unsophisticated, she lowered her head even more, and kept turning around nervously, grabbing the corner of her clothes.
"Alright, alright, you're new here, so I'll teach you slowly. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Xiaohong, just learn from Brother Li. Sister Hua believes you can do it."
He Hong was so moved by Sister Hua’s encouragement that she nodded frantically.
"Okay, Sister Hua, I will definitely study hard."
In this way, He Hong settled down in the new city.
It was only after four or five days that the He family finally realized that something was wrong - He Hong seemed to have run away.
"Oh, village chief, please call someone to help look for her. It's been four or five days and He Hong hasn't come home." Old Mrs. He was very anxious.
It’s not that she cares about her granddaughter that much, but He Hong is already nine years old and will soon be ten. In rural areas, one year old is considered twelve, which means that in two or three years she can get married and get a dowry.
How could she not be anxious? That was a huge sum of money.
He Hong's biological mother, Tian Xiaocui, was also extremely worried. By the time she returned to her parents' home, she was gone.
This time when she returned to her parents' home, she found a good marriage for He Hong.
The neighbor of her cousin's nephew's cousin was willing to pay two hundred yuan to marry He Hong.
He also promised Tian Xiaocui that when the time comes, he can just ask Old Lady He for a betrothal gift of 100 yuan, and the remaining 100 yuan can go directly into his own pocket.
She had already thought it through. When the time comes, she would use the hundred dollars to build three small rooms and divide them up.
At the call of the village chief, the men in the village began to look for He Hong all over the village.
"Maodan, take a few people to the back mountain to check, in case the child runs up the mountain."
"Shuanzi, take a few people to the south slope to take a look."
"Everyone else, look around the village, even in every nook and cranny."
Everyone helped to look for He Hong for two days, but there was no news.
"Hey, He Hong from the old He family hasn't been found yet."
"No, it's been so many days. Don't you think he ran up the mountain and got eaten by wolves?"
"No way, how can a little girl have the courage to go into the mountains?"
"That's strange. I can't find anyone."
"Maybe he ran away."
"What's there to run for? Why are you running for no reason?"
"It's Su Qing's daughter. She beat her blind. Su Qing went to settle accounts with the He family. She must have been scared away."
"That's not possible. When Su Qing left that day, I saw her squatting in the yard."
"Who knows? Anyway, I won't look for it anymore. I'm exhausted from walking."
