Min Rou, who was squatting by the fish pond, heard her aunt's scolding clearly.
Not only could she hear it, but Min Jiao, who was held in her arms, could also hear it clearly.
Both sisters knew that although their uncle loved them, their aunt did not like them.
But Min Rou didn't hate her aunt because of this.
Because life at my aunt's house is indeed not easy.
After contracting two fish ponds, the harvests in the past few years have been at a loss due to flooding.
In addition to his uncle, who has three children of his own, who can't eat without opening his mouth and needs money for clothes?
If the uncle had to keep the two of them, not only would their already stretched life become worse, but they would also be at war with their aunt all day long.
That would leave a huge psychological shadow on Jiaojiao, who is only six years old.
It’s such a bad feeling to be under someone else’s roof!
"The world is so big, but there is no place for us sisters."
Thinking of her home that was burned to the ground by Zhao Jian, and thinking of the embarrassment she felt when she took the initiative to hug Cui Xiangdong last night, Min Rou closed her eyes in pain.
When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were already full of despair!
Min Rou felt that she was really unable to find a stable place for Jiaojiao so that she could grow up healthily.
Then it’s better to take Jiaojiao——
Go find your parents!
It is very difficult for children without parents, especially girls, to survive in this world.
"Jiaojiao, do you miss our mother?"
Min Rou lowered her head and looked at the little girl, whose eyes were dull and shivering from time to time due to being frightened one after another. She felt even more distressed, caressing her forehead and asked.
Min Jiao immediately nodded vigorously.
She really missed her mother and her father.
Min Rou asked again: "How about my sister take you to find our mother?"
"good."
When Min Jiao nodded vigorously again, she suddenly realized something and asked loudly: "Sister, isn't our mother dead? Then how can you take me to find her?"
Min Rou smiled.
Tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and he said softly: "Sister, I have a way. Tonight, I will take you to find our mother."
Before he finished speaking——
A man's low voice came from behind: "You have a damn idea! You're still a high school student! I'm even more ashamed of your parents who are so miserable that they asked you to take their place and raise my little girl up! You have the hope What qualifications do you have to take your child to death?"
boom.
Min Rou, who was defenseless, shivered violently in fright.
Min Jiao, who was held in her arms, was so frightened that she hurriedly got into her arms and burst into tears.
Min Rou looked back.
Then she saw Cui Xiangdong standing behind her.
He was looking at her with a gloomy face.
In front of the brick house, Lou Xiaoya was talking to her aunt and her husband.
"Cui, Cui Zhen."
Min Rou said in a trembling voice, and stood up from the ground with her little sister in her arms.
"Give me the child. If you want to die, jump into the water immediately. I promise I won't save you."
Cui Xiangdong looked down upon people like Min Rou the most.
She looks fragile in appearance, but in fact she is extremely stubborn and needs face.
In fact, she could live in Lou Xiaoya's house and find a job in the town; just because she was rejected by Cui Xiangdong last night, she would rather take the shortcut with her little sister than go back.
"Bah, what the hell."
Cui Xiangdong spat at Min Rou without any courtesy, raised his hand and snatched Min Jiao from her arms.
sister--"
Min Jiao struggled instinctively, but because she was afraid of Cui Xiangdong, she immediately did not dare to move.
Don't even dare to cry.
She just pursed her mouth hard, clenched her two little hands tightly, and looked at her sister with fearful tears in her eyes.
Min Rou looked at Cui Xiangdong stupidly, with her mouth half open.
"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid. Uncle will take you home."
Seeing how pitiful the child was, Cui Xiangdong felt a little distressed. He raised his hand to wipe her eyes. When he turned to leave, he said coldly to Min Rou: "You can go and die. After meeting your parents, , tell them. Just say that I, Cui Xiangdong, will be Jiaojiao's father, and I will raise the child for them."
After saying that, he hugged Min Jiao, who was shaking all over, and walked quickly up the slope of the fish pond.
Min Rou was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed.
Cui Xiangdong glanced at Min Rou's uncle and his wife, nodded, and didn't say anything to them. He went straight east along the fish pond to the car.
He could also understand the difficulties of Uncle Minrou's family, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his aunt doing that.
But he didn't want to tell that woman that he would be the one to help Jiaojiao grow up in the future.
Lou Xiaoya can help him and make his meaning clear.
I believe that Uncle Minrou and his wife, while feeling ashamed, will also feel relieved.
well.
All because of poverty!
If the living conditions of Uncle Minrou's family were very good and she helped her sister raise the two children, her aunt would not say anything even if she was unwilling.
He came to the car, opened the door and put Min Jiao in the back seat.
Min Jiao, however, stared closely at Min Rou, who was chasing after her quickly. She wanted to cry but didn't dare.
Min Rou was also in tears. She didn't dare to look at Cui Xiangdong when she got to the car, but she opened the door and got in the car, hugging her sister.
Hug it very tight!
In this life, no matter how much setbacks she encounters in the future, she will never have the stupid idea of dying with her little sister.
Lou Xiaoya came over.
He first looked at the Min sisters in the back seat, then nodded to Cui Xiangdong, who was standing in front of the car door smoking, and reported softly: "Cui Zhen, Gouzi and I have made an agreement. They treat Jiaojiao as their only relative. I agree with you to take in the child."
"Okay, go back."
Cui Xiangdong flicked away the cigarette butt, opened the door and got in the car.
"I'll drive."
Lou Xiaoya said and opened the car door.
Cui Xiangdong sat in the passenger seat again.
When he pulled on the seat belt habitually, Lou Xiaoya was also fastening the seat belt.
Just when her seat belt hit the area where the stick had hit her back, she bit her lower lip in pain, and then started the car as if nothing was wrong.
at this time--
The sun sets in the west.
The old crows returning to their nests squawked and flapped their wings across the woods.
Some dogs by an unknown fish pond heard the movement of the car and started barking.
A fish jumped out of the water.
After falling into the water with a pop, the ripples were slowly smoothed by the darkness that gradually swallowed up the sunset.
Cui Xiangdong held Jiaojiao, who was too frightened and fell asleep after being tired from crying. When he returned to the door, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
It was just getting dark.
Min Rou lowered her head and raised her heels slightly so that she could walk quietly and follow Cui Xiangdong.
Following her was Lou Xiaoya.
Her eyes dimmed when she saw Cui Xiangdong opening the courtyard door without looking back.
When she passed the door of Aunt No. 2 and walked towards the door of her own house, she suddenly heard Cui Xiangdong say: "Deputy Town Lou, come to my house."
What?
Deputy Lou Zhen’s eyes suddenly lit up.
"Help me, these two kids, clean up the house."
Cui Xiangdong looked at her and hesitated before saying: "In your bedroom, in the second drawer of the bedside table, there are safflower oil and ointment for treating bruises. Let me help you treat the stick wound on your lower back."
