"Don't cry, honey. Whoever bullied you, I'll beat them up." Goubao looked at Li Cai who suddenly started crying, and became excited and nervous. He clenched his fist and was about to hit He's father, thinking that He's father was a bad person.
Li Cai shook her head while crying, pulling away Gou Bao who was about to hit someone: "Even if it's not Uncle Radish, he's a good person too."
Goubao was skeptical.
Seeing Mr. He's friendly expression, Goubao tilted his head, making sure he wouldn't pounce on his wife, before relaxing his guard.
When Li Cai broke down, to prevent Gou Bao from causing trouble, Yun Jin grabbed a handful of shortbread and gave it to Gou Bao. He hadn't recognized what it was before and wasn't interested at all, but he saw Xiao Niangao eat one.
I even opened one for him and gestured for him to eat it.
When Goubao ate the candy for the first time, his eyes lit up. "Wife, it's delicious!"
He pretended to spit out the candy from his mouth for his wife to eat.
Li Cai waved her hand, took one and ate it herself. Only after she started eating did Gou Bao calm down. Gou Bao wrapped the candy in his own candy, enjoying the sweet taste, and a happy and sweet smile appeared on his face.
After settling Goubao down with a piece of candy, Li Caicai recounted her ordeal.
Her parents settled her in a villager's house. Later, when the Japanese came, the villager hid her. She waited for a long time until the food and water prepared for her ran out. When she had nothing left to eat, she quietly crawled out and returned to the familiar village. She found that the villagers were either dead or had run away. Not long after she appeared, she was discovered by the bad guys.
While escaping, he was almost hit by a bullet and was driven to the brink of despair. He jumped into the river to escape and injured his head. For a long time, he didn't know who he was.
The family that saved her were not good people; they always beat and scolded her. Later, she found out that they were not her parents. She was beaten so badly that she hit her head and bled profusely, but she remembered who she was and wanted to find her parents.
Unfortunately, she was too young. She had only been running away injured for a short time before she fainted. Her mentally challenged father took her in and raised her as his daughter. At that time, the couple had been married for seven or eight years without children. When Li Cai was born, they truly treated her as their daughter.
More than a year after adopting her, her adoptive mother became pregnant.
After Goubao was born, her adopted daughter became a jinx, doing all the dirty and tiring work.
Goubao was originally well-behaved and adorable, but a high fever turned him into a fool. His adoptive parents blamed her for the devastating effects, saying she hadn't taken good care of him and constantly beat and scolded her.
She grew up to be beautiful, and many people had designs on her. Her adoptive parents originally wanted to have another child, but they couldn't conceive again. So, her adoptive father, that beast, set his sights on Li Cai.
At this point, Li Cai's eyes were filled with hatred.
He's parents had guessed it, and were furious.
Mr. He clenched his fist: "Where is that old bastard?"
Li Cai said casually, "He's dead."
Yun Jin sneered, "It would be too good for him to die."
Li Cai thought so too.
It's a good thing that old bastard died, otherwise she would have been bullied for who knows how many more years.
Even after the old beast died, the old woman didn't let Li Cai off the hook. She forced her to become Goubao's daughter-in-law and had children with him. Goubao was stupid and had no idea what was going on.
Without that old beast causing trouble, Goubao can protect Li Cai.
Whenever her mother beat or scolded Li Cai, she would go crazy, and as a result, she lived a few years of peaceful life.
Who knew that after her wicked foster mother fell ill, she sold her to a thug in the village who had coveted Li Cai for many years. With the money for medical treatment, she locked Li Cai in the house and let the thug abuse her. She gave birth to a son, who was then taken away by the thug.
At this point, Li Cai wiped away her tears: "I didn't want to. I ran away, I escaped, I was caught countless times, I was locked in a cellar and didn't see the light of day for several years. Later, I ruined my health by giving birth and could no longer have children, but those people still wouldn't let me go."
"If it weren't for Goubao protecting her, she would probably have been bullied to death long ago."
"Uncle Carrot, I've had enough of this kind of life. Can you please take us away from here for my parents' sake?" As if afraid that Mr. He would refuse, Li Cai knelt down in front of Mr. He and kowtowed repeatedly.
Startled, Mr. He hurriedly helped the man up, saying, "Don't worry, Uncle won't stand idly by. Uncle will take you away."
Li Cai pleaded, "Could you bring Goubao along? We can eat less. He's very well-behaved and obedient."
Without hesitation, Mr. He said, "Okay, take him with you."
Li Cai burst into tears of joy: "Thank you, Uncle Radish."
Mr. He shook his head: "Just because you called me uncle, I wouldn't have left you here."
Mother He wasn't the kind of person to be indifferent. After learning about the connection between Li Cai and Father He, Mother He felt sorry for Li Cai, and now she felt even more sorry for her.
Mother He patted Li Cai on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we won't make you suffer. Just come with us."
Li Cai felt relieved.
Yun Jin strongly agreed with He's parents' approach.
Once the itinerary is finalized, they will meet outside the village tomorrow and will not leave together to avoid alerting the enemy.
The next day, Yun Jin and the others paid the rent to the landlord and boarded a tractor to go to town. They even bumped into Gou Bao and Li Cai, who were herding sheep, by the roadside. Yun Jin pointed to her wrist, signaling Li Cai to pay attention to the time.
Li Cai nodded, indicating that she understood.
After the tractor drove away, Li Cai looked down at her watch. It was Yun Jin's watch, which told her to meet at the town's crossroads at ten o'clock.
They will keep waiting, hoping she will arrive on time.
Li Cai noticed it was only 7:30, and there were still two and a half hours until 10:00, enough time for her to run to town.
Before leaving, Li Cai had one more thing to do.
"Dog Baby, wait for me here. I'm going back to get some things. We'll go to town to buy some delicious food later."
"Candy, brittle candy!" Goubao ate brittle candy last night and still wanted more.
