At night, there was no one from Lin Zhong's family, only Lin Quan's family and the Tian family helped with the funeral. Lin Mei, who was tired all day, remembered that everyone hadn't eaten yet, so she asked Aunt Ueda and the fourth aunt to make dinner together.

Wang was very curious about the late Wu Yong, and pulled Lin Mei to ask east and west, Lin Mei was shocked and tired all day, and she cried for a while just now, her throat hurt uncomfortably, and said to Wang: "Fourth aunt, please spare me, you listen to my voice, it is very difficult to speak." ”

Aunt Tian heard Lin Mei's voice hoarse, and said to the Wang family distressedly: "You are all relatives, what's the matter, it's the same to ask in the future, the guys are hungry, and they have to keep vigil today, so let's hurry up and make the meal." ”

It's not that the Wang family doesn't care about Lin Mei, but sometimes they lack roots and tendons, and when they see that Aunt Tian also said the same, they went to cook in a daze.

Wu Yong's funeral was very simple, firstly, there were no relatives in the village, secondly, he came suddenly, and his death was even more bizarre, the Lin family did not prepare anything, the body was placed for two days, and on the third day, a thin coffin was loaded and sent to the mountain for burial.

After the funeral, Lin Mei had time to look at this little cousin carefully, and saw that the clothes on his body were torn like a little beggar, and he didn't know who cut his hair, like a chicken nest covering his head.

Lin Mei boiled a large pot of hot water and asked Shanzi to take her little cousin to take a bath.

Ke Xi'er stubbornly refused to take off her clothes, and Shanzi had no choice but to ask her sister for help.

When Lin Mei entered the room, she saw Xi'er clasping her hands around her body, and she shrunk into a ball in fear.

It is estimated that he has arrived in an unfamiliar environment, he is afraid of life, Lin Mei thought to herself.

"Don't be afraid, I'm your sister Meizi, this will be your home in the future, you see that your body is rancid, and your clothes are torn and dirty, let's take a shower first and change our clothes, okay?" Lin Mei whispered softly, afraid of scaring the child.

When Xi'er saw Lin Mei coming in, she seemed to find a sense of security and threw herself into Lin Mei's arms.

"Are you a gentleman, what are you shy, come, my brother will help you take off your clothes." After Shanzi finished speaking, he went to pull Xi'er's sleeve.

Xi'er was even more frightened, trembling in Lin Mei's arms.

Shanzi looked at Lin Mei with some innocent eyes and smiled bitterly.

"Xi'er, don't be afraid, didn't you sleep on a kang with Brother Shanzi the day before yesterday, why are you so afraid of your Brother Shanzi today, he is not a tiger, he doesn't eat people, don't be afraid." Lin Mei also felt inexplicably surprised by Xi'er's behavior.

"Sister, I'...... I ......"

"I, me, me, what are you afraid of, you say, how do you look like a girl, or not a pure master." Shanzi really can't get used to him like this.

"I'm not a gentleman...... Xi'er yelled at Shanzi with a blushing face.

"Hahaha, you don't like to be a gentleman yourself......" Shanzi didn't react.

But Lin Mei understood, and asked in surprise: "You said you are a girl!" ”

Xi'er nodded.

Shanzi was already stunned, and his jaw dropped.

Lin Mei hurriedly drove Shanzi out, and Shanzi only reacted when he walked to the door, and almost fell on his head.

As soon as Shanzi went out, Lin Mei closed the door.

With the help of Lin Mei, Xi'er took off her clothes, took a comfortable hot bath, and changed into the clothes that Lin Mei prepared for her.

Lin Mei took the rejuvenated Xi'er to see Daddy Lin.

"Dad, it's wrong, it's wrong, Xi'er is a girl."

Hearing this, Daddy Lin didn't hold the cup in his frightened hand steadily, but fortunately, Lin Mei reacted quickly and caught it.

"What's the matter with your hair?" Daddy Lin still didn't believe what he had just heard.

"Daddy said that there are many bad people on the road, and he is afraid of being bullied by others, so he deliberately twists it like this, so he is not afraid of being targeted by bad people." Xi'er is starting to feel sad when she mentions her late father.

"How old is Xi'er this year?" Lin Mei quickly accepted the fact that she was a girl, and she was very happy to have a younger sister who had become a younger brother. Seeing that she was sad, he changed the subject.

"I'm ten years old, and I have a thirteen-year-old sister who was sold by my mother...... Sister Meizi, I do all the work and eat less, don't sell me like my mother, please......"

Lin Mei saw that the tears in her eyes were about to flow, and comforted: "No, no, you are my sister now, it's rare, how can you be willing to sell it." ”

Little Peach also followed her sister's example and said: "I thought I had an extra brother, but I became a sister, Sister Xi'er, you will hurt me like my own sister." ”

Xi'er was very moved by the words of the Lin sisters, although she was the person entrusted by her father, but her mother could ruthlessly sell her sister, not to mention that she was an outsider.

"Xi'er, you can live here with peace of mind in the future, although your uncle's house is not a rich family, but it can still fill your stomach, don't be afraid, your brothers and sisters and I are not those black-hearted people, now you can tell me what the situation is with you and your father." Father Lin also comforted.

"Well, well, my family lives in Majia Village, it's far from here, I pushed my dad and walked for more than ten days before I came over, my dad said that he was afraid that someone would see me on the road and bully me, so he twisted my hair and let me dress up like a boy, so that I was not afraid of meeting bad people." Xi'er said.

After all, he is only ten years old, and it is normal to be unable to grasp the key point when speaking, Lin Mei guided and asked: "Then before this, for example, what about your mother, what is the relationship with your father, what is the situation of your sister, how can she be sold by your mother." ”

Speaking of her father and sister, the little girl cried again, and said while crying: "I have been dependent on my father and sister for my life, and there are three acres of land at home, and my life is not too good, but I will not be hungry, my mother thinks that my father is incompetent, the family is poor, and he ran away eight years ago." I haven't seen her since I was a child, and I don't know her well, but somehow, she ran back a year ago, saying that she was wrong and shouldn't have left us sisters, ran to be a servant, and brought back five taels of silver, and wanted to live a good life with my father in the future, but my father relented for a while, so he left her. The first few days were fine, and I took my sister to the town to buy clothes and buy me flowers. But the good times didn't last long, she got along with Lizheng's son, and was bumped into by my sister, she begged my sister not to tell my father, saying that she was also forced to be helpless, Lizheng's family was rich and powerful, and she couldn't afford to offend, so my sister was angry and secretly told me, and I didn't dare to tell my father. Half a year later, one day, my father inadvertently broke the adulterous relationship between the two of them, and my father fought with the adulterer, and the adulterer was beaten, and he was unwilling, so he called a group of people to the door in the middle of the night and beat my father severely. But the poisonous woman didn't say a word, and hid in the house and didn't come out. My sister and I went up to help, but the adulterer also molested my sister, and said that my mother had already married her to him as a concubine, and she would be dragged back that night. My sister was so frightened that she put a kitchen knife to her neck, and the adulterer stopped and led the people away. From that day on, my father gave the poisonous woman a divorce, but my father couldn't afford to be sick, and the black-hearted man saw the situation and took the opportunity to find out the family title deed and house deed and sold it, claiming that it was for my father to treat the disease, she ran away with the money, and sold my sister to human traffickers. If someone hadn't seen it and ran to tell my dad, we'd been kept in the dark. ”

Whining...... Whining......
