“You’re different from Xiaohua…” Su Qing suddenly stopped mid-sentence and pulled Su Xiaoya back with a serious expression. She asked, “What is your stepmother doing? What does she want?”
“N-nothing.” Su Xiaoya panicked and replied, “I just can’t bear to part with Little Aunt. I really can’t bear to part with her.”
“Your stepmother wants to sell you?” Su Qing asked angrily.
“No, no. There are people catching traffickers everywhere now, so no one dares to sell children.”
Su Qing only relaxed after hearing that. The human traffickers were arrested, and Xiaohua’s sister-in-law was also arrested because she sold Xiaohua. Indeed, no one dared to sell children at this time. It was also illegal to sell their own children.
Xiaoya’s stepmother definitely wouldn’t have the guts.
Even so, Su Qing still asked worriedly, “Are you hungry? Did you eat breakfast?”
Su Xiaoya shook her head. She had drunk half a bowl of plain water in the morning.
“Let’s go home with Second Aunt for dinner. There’s a lot of delicious food at home.” Su Qing pulled Su Xiaoya back and gave her clothes. The four pockets of her pants were full. They were all snacks that Su Wen had bought in the county town. There were all kinds of snacks that Su Xiaoya had never eaten before.
If she didn’t know that packing too many snacks for Xiaoya would let Xiaoya’s stepmother find out about it and take it all away, Su Qing would have packed even more snacks for Xiaoya.
“If you don’t have anything to eat at home, come to Aunt’s house. Although Little sister has gone to the Province, you don’t have to act like an outsider, understand?”
“Got it!”
Su Xiaoya reluctantly returned home. Just as she reached the door, her stepmother, Wang Yongmei, ran out with a sour face. She twisted Xiaoya’s ears and dragged her in. She scolded, ‘Where did you go? You only know how to run around early in the morning and go to Su Wen’s house all day. Now that they have money, they wouldn’t be interested in you even if you tried to curry favor with them.’
“It’s not that.” Su Xiaoya screamed angrily, “That’s not true! Aunt Su Wen’s family members are all very good people.”
“Alright, alright, alright, they’re good if you say so.” Wang Yongmei let go and said, “Hurry up. You don’t have anything either. Just leave!”
“I’m not leaving. I won’t leave even if I die.” She wanted to wait in the village for Little Aunt to come back. She didn’t want to be like Xiaohua, who could never be found once she left.
Su Xiaoya sat on the ground and refused to get up no matter what. Wang Yongmei was so angry that she cursed, “You worthless thing. You don’t know what’s good for you. You’re as cheap as your short-lived mother. Are you going to get up? Are you getting up?’
Su Xiaoya curled her body and hugged her knees tightly. She replied, “I’m not getting up. I’m not getting up.”
Wang Yongmei took the broom and hit Su Xiaoya. She hit Su Xiao Ya more than ten times in a row. Su Xiaoya, who used to run away every time she was hit, did not run or dodge this time. Little Aunt had left. She was afraid that if she ran away, she would make her stepmother even more agitated.
“Mom, I’m calling you mom. Please don’t give me away. I don’t want to leave. I want to stay in the Trinity village.”
Su Xiaoya hugged Wang Yongmei’s thigh and begged, “I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to go to the city to enjoy life. I’m willing to stay in the countryside and suffer. It doesn’t matter if I can’t study. I’ll learn to read with Little Aunt. I
can already recognize a hundred Chinese characters.”
“Let go of me.” Wang Yongmei kicked Su Xiaoya away. She was so strong that
Su Xiaoya fell to the ground and somersaulted. Her face was covered in dust.
The skin at the corner of her eye was broken and bloodshot.
“I’m telling you, I’m sending you to the city to enjoy your life. The family is too poor to support so many people. You can only suffer in the village and can’t even afford to go to school. You might as well be adopted. The family that is adopting you is a well-to-do family. They are much better off than our family..”
