MTL - Fast Wear: on the Correct Posture of Counterattack-Chapter 171 The woman of the mountain (twenty-one)

Xingyun did not participate in the rescue of the kidnapped girl. When Liu Xiulan was leaving the detention center, Xingyun specially picked her up.

Xingyun found a dessert shop and ordered two small cakes and two cups of fruit tea.

"This mousse cake tastes good, you can try it."

Li Xiulan stared at the cake for a while, then picked up a small fork and scooped a bit into her mouth.

On the palate it is dense, with a hint of cheese.

Li Xiulan lowered her head and ate the cake one bite at a time, and Xingyun didn't bother her. Knowing that the other party had stopped halfway through the meal, she asked, "Is it delicious?"

Li Xiulan nodded, and the two fell into silence again.

After a while, Li Xiulan raised her head and asked hesitantly, "Are you living here with your mother?"

Xingyun was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "I'm not with her, and I don't know where she is."

[Nonsense, didn't you let me find out that Sun Jiayi was in S City and you came here! 】

Xingyun ignored Qizai's words, while Li Xiulan looked at Xingyun with a surprised expression, "Didn't you escape from the village with your mother? Later, many police officers came to the village..."

When Li Xiulan saw Chen Xi's figure, she didn't say it. Although she was young, she also knew what kind of life the women bought in the village lived.

She couldn't take the initiative to help them escape, but sympathy made her choose silence at the time.

"You didn't go with your mother, where did you go then?"

Li Xiulan always thought that Xingyun had escaped with Sun Jiayi, escaped from the village, lived a new life, and would never be beaten or starved again.

"Goed elsewhere and grew up in an orphanage."

Li Xiulan doesn't understand what's going on, doesn't she have a mother? Why go to an orphanage?

Xingyun didn't explain too much, but asked her, "How is Wang Fengjuan now?"

Xingyun had seen the information about Li Yue in the list of fugitives, and knew that he had escaped, but she didn't know what happened to Wang Fengjuan in the end.

Hearing Xingyun calling her grandmother's name, Li Xiulan blinked, but still didn't say anything to correct, "My aunt passed away more than ten years ago."

At the beginning, Wang Fengjuan was the most serious injured, and could not even get out of bed, and was very likely to be paralyzed.

The son ran away again. Although she was not sentenced because of this, she could only be brought home by the villagers because she had no money for treatment.

But the people in the village hated the three families who ran away with their daughters-in-law. If it wasn't for them, how could the men in their own family be injured? Is it possible to get caught by the police and go to jail?

Without money to compensate, they ransacked Wang Fengjuan's house. Every day, people yelled at Wang Fengjuan's door, and the new village chief didn't care.

A distant niece of Wang Fengjuan took care of her for a while, and Wang Fengjuan died at home not long after.

Hearing the news of Wang Fengjuan's death, Xingyun did not have any excess emotions.

She could imagine the woman lying in bed immobile, listening to curses every day, and finally watching herself die.

Perhaps this is also a retribution.

"Why did you come to S city, auntie?"

After the chat was almost over, Xingyun finally asked the question she wanted to know the most.

Li Xiulan was silent again. She lowered her head and stirred the liquid in the cup with a straw, without making a sound for a while.

Xingyun was not in a hurry, she smiled and said, "It's alright if you don't want to talk. Where do you live now, Auntie?"

"There's nothing bad to say."

Li Xiulan took a deep breath and talked about her own experience.

At first, people ran away from the village. First, her father went up the mountain to find someone who was injured. Later, many police officers came to the village and arrested many people. In the end, few came back.

Many of the daughters-in-law bought in the village were picked up by their families, but a few came back later. I heard that they couldn't bear the strange eyes from outsiders, and they were reluctant to bear their children, so they finally chose to come back.

No one in the village dared to buy a daughter-in-law anymore, because the arrests were strictly enforced, and people would come down to check from time to time.

The village is getting poorer and poorer, many people have gone out, and only some old people and children are left behind.

Li Xiulan's family has never bought a daughter-in-law, so she has nothing to do with her, but her father spent a lot of money on the treatment. In order to survive, her parents also went out to work outside the village. Li Xiulan and her brothers were left in the village. .

She was very happy when her parents came back during the Chinese New Year at the age of sixteen, but she didn't expect to hear her parents talking when she woke up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.

They say that the family conditions are not good, and several sons have reached the age to marry a daughter-in-law, but now many rural girls go out to work, and they look down on boys in the same village. Even if they can marry, they will not be able to pay the high dowry fee .

They didn't dare to buy a daughter-in-law, and they didn't have enough money. Finally, they discussed whether to go to a neighboring village to change relatives.

The so-called exchange of relatives, of course, is to exchange one girl for another girl. Who is it?

No one else except Li Xiulan.

Li Xiulan never dreamed that her parents who loved her would be like this, and would rather sacrifice her to marry her brother.

In the end, with the help of her second brother, Li Xiulan escaped with her ID card. On the one hand, she felt that she was sorry for the kindness of her parents, but on the other hand, she did not want to be married like this for the rest of her life.

She didn't get good grades, she didn't finish junior high school, and she couldn't find many suitable jobs after she came out. In the end, for various reasons, she was tricked into a prostitution place.

She has been doing this for two years, from being reluctant at the beginning to becoming accustomed to it later.

She has never been home for several years, and has rarely been in contact with her parents.

"You know, I can't go back. I thought about changing it before, but I have a low education, can't find a good job, and I don't want to do too tiring things. I think it's quick to get money, so step by step. …”

Li Xiulan sometimes wonders if this is the retribution of their Lijia Village.

In the past, she only sympathized with the women who were sold into their village, but now she can better understand the pain they once suffered.

Looking at Li Xiulan who couldn't help crying, Xingyun handed over a tissue.

"These are all excuses. It's not that you don't want to change, it's that you can't make up your mind."

"But, I really don't know what to do. I know you look down on me, but if I have a choice, I don't want to do this either!"

"I didn't look down on you, auntie, you just accidentally took the wrong path. It doesn't matter if you take the wrong path, can't we just choose the right path again?"

Li Xiulan didn't respond, Xingyun continued: "Auntie, do you remember the thing you secretly fed me before?"

"Do you remember what happened for so long?" Li Xiulan sniffed, "I just thought you were too pitiful, and it wasn't something delicious."

"Of course I remember, if I hadn't stuffed me with food from time to time, maybe I would have starved to death."

"It's not that serious."

"Of course there is. Anyway, I remember what happened at the beginning. Now that my aunt is in trouble, of course I want to help."
