Chapter 171: The Woman of the Mountain (21)

Xing Yun did not participate in the rescue of the abducted girl, and when Liu Xiulan was released from the detention center, Xing Yun specially went to pick her up.

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

"The mousse cake here tastes good, you can try it."

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

On the palate it is dense and has a hint of cheese.

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

Li Xiulan nodded, and there was silence between the two 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! ] 】

Xing Yun ignored Qizai's words, while Li Xiulan looked at Xing Yun in surprise, "Didn't you escape from the village with your mother in the first place?" Later, a lot of police officers came to the village......"

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

It was impossible for her to help them escape, but compassion made her choose to remain silent.

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

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.

"I went somewhere else, and then I grew up in an orphanage."

Li Xiulan doesn't understand what the hell is 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 saw Li Yue's information in the list of fugitives, and knew that he had escaped at the beginning, but she didn't know what happened to Wang Fengjuan in the end.

Hearing Xingyun call 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 seriously injured, and she couldn't even get out of bed, and she was very likely to be paralyzed.

And her son ran away again, although she was not sentenced for this, but she had no money for treatment and was finally taken home by the villagers.

But the people in the village hated the three people who ran away from their daughters-in-law, and if it weren't for them, how could the men of their own family be injured? So you might be caught by the police and sent to jail?

There was no money to compensate, so they ransacked Wang Fengjuan's belongings, and people scolded Wang Fengjuan at the door every day, and the new village chief didn't care about anything.

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, Xing Yun had no extra emotions.

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

Perhaps, this is also a kind of retribution.

"Then Auntie, why did you come to S City again?"

After chatting about the end, 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, and she didn't make a sound.

Xingyun was not in a hurry, she smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't want to say it, where do you live now, auntie?" ”

"There's nothing bad to say."

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

At first, there were people running away from the village, first her father went up the mountain to find someone and was injured, and then many policemen came to the village and arrested many people, and in the end few people came back.

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

No one in the village dared to buy a daughter-in-law, because the top was tightly guarded, and from time to time someone would come down to check it.

The village is getting poorer and poorer, many people have left, and in the end only some old people and children are left.

Li Xiulan's family has never bought a daughter-in-law, so naturally there is not much to do, but her father spent a lot of money to treat his injuries at the beginning, and in order to survive, her parents also went out of the village to work outside, and Li Xiulan and several brothers were left in the village.

When she was sixteen years old, her parents came back, and she was very happy, but she didn't expect to hear her parents' conversation when she got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

They said that the conditions of the family were not good, and that several sons had reached the age of marrying daughters-in-law, but now many rural girls have gone out to work, and they no longer look down on boys in the same village, and even if they can marry, they will not be able to pay the high bride price.

They didn't dare to buy a daughter-in-law, and the money was not enough, so they finally discussed whether to go to a neighboring village to change relatives.

The so-called exchange of relatives is naturally to exchange one girl for another, who is the person who is exchanged?

There is 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's daughter-in-law.

In the end, Li Xiulan escaped with her ID card with the help of her second brother, on the one hand, she felt sorry for her parents' nurturing grace, but on the other hand, she didn't want to marry like this for the rest of her life

She didn't get good grades, she didn't finish junior high school, she couldn't find much work that suited her when she came out, and finally for various reasons, she was tricked into prostitution.

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 used to think about changing, but I have a low education, I can't find a good job, and I don't want to do things that are too tiring, I think this will make money quickly, so I ...... step by step"

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

She used to sympathize with the women who were sold into their village, but now she understands their suffering.

Looking at Li Xiulan, who was crying uncontrollably, Xingyun handed over a tissue.

"It's all an excuse, it's not that you don't want to change it, but 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!"

"I didn't look down on you, aunt, you just accidentally went the wrong way. It doesn't matter if we go wrong, can't we just choose the right path again? ”

Li Xiulan didn't respond, and Xing Yun continued: "Auntie, do you remember the thing you secretly stuffed me with food before? ”

"Do you remember all this time?" Li Xiulan snorted, "At the beginning, I just saw that you were too pitiful, and it was not something delicious." ”

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

"It's that serious."

"Of course there is, no matter what, I remember what happened at the beginning, and now that my aunt is in trouble, of course I want to help."
