Chapter 142: The Little Peasant Girl Who Was Betrayed After the Disaster (6)
Let’s talk about Su Li.
After she left with the girl transformed from chicken essence, she took back her spiritual power, turned it into a chicken again, and put it into the companion space.
Afterwards, her figure appeared in the dilapidated house at the east end of Qinjia Village.
"Xiao Yu, come out quickly! Come out quickly!" He's mother's voice came from the door.
Su Li frowned slightly, opened the door, and looked at the bruises on the other person's face, "What are you doing?"
"Xiao Yu, come back with your mother! There is nothing here. Can I take you back?" He's mother looked at her pleadingly with tears in her eyes.
"Go back? Will I be sold by you again if I go back?" Su Li raised his eyebrows, closed the door, walked past her and went to the headman's house.
After staying in the town for seven days, the household registration documents should have come down, and she was going to the village head's house to get the female household registration documents.
As for the He family, there is no way she can go back!
When they were halfway along the road and there was no one around, Su Li took out a rabbit from the companion space, tied it up with a straw rope and held it in his hand.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, you're here, why are you bringing something with you?" The headman's wife saw Su Li knocking on the door and quickly opened the door to welcome her in. "Are you here to pick up the documents? You just arrived this morning, and I was thinking of sending it to you!"
"No need, I can get it myself! Where's the village head?" Su Li asked softly, and handed the rabbit in her hand to her, "I caught it in the mountains, you can have it as a snack."
"Oh, it seems like your He family is making a fuss again. Someone called him over!" The headman's wife sighed, "Your grandmother has a strong personality. She still won't calm down even after someone got hurt! Oh!"
She took out Su Li's document from the room and handed it to the other party, "Take it! It's good for you to leave the He family. Your grandmother and your two aunts are not easy to deal with!"
Su Li took the document, said thank you and turned to leave.
Then, she came to the He family's yard in stealth.
He's mother stood in the corner of the yard with tears on her face. He's second daughter-in-law was cursing, "You are all lazy! I have been at my mother's house for a few days, and I haven't even had a hot meal? When I was not at home, my mother and sister-in-law were injured, and the food and money at home were gone!"
The head of the village stood there, quietly listening to the cursing of He Laoer's wife and smoking his pipe without trying to stop the fight.
Boss He leaned against the wall dejectedly, holding his lower back. He had fallen at Su Li's place before. Although his injury was not as serious as that of Boss He, he still could not work for at least half a month.
"Sister-in-law, I, I also want to work, but I also have to take care of my husband and two children, I..." Mother He grabbed her clothes, not knowing what to say.
"You can't even cook a meal just to take care of two children? Look at mother and little sister lying on the bed. How can you bear it?" He Laoer's wife pointed at He's mother's nose and scolded.
"Home, there is no food to cook! We have been making some wild vegetables to survive these days!" He's mother defended in a low voice.
"I don't care. As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. You are responsible for our family's food! I don't care what method you use. Mother, younger sister, and us cannot starve." He Laoer's wife said forcefully.
"Mr. Lizheng." Mother He looked at him aggrievedly, "Why don't you let Xiaoyu come back? Without her, I can't do anything with the child."
"No! Xiaoyu has already severed her engagement with you, and the money for the severance has been given to you! Just think of her as someone you sold, and don't think of taking advantage of her in the future!" The head of the village flatly refused.
"But..." Mother He was tangled, "But she wasn't bought by someone, she lives in the village. We are her biological parents. Is she going to just ignore us and be unfilial to us?"
"How dare you say you are her biological parents?" Aunt Qin from next door sneered, "Has Xiaoyu ever enjoyed your blessing for a single day? Since she was a child, I have watched her wash clothes, cook, and feed pigs by herself. She is busy like a top in your He family all day long! In the end, her grandmother wanted to sell her for money. As a mother, have you ever said a word for her?"
"Aren't you thinking that she will find a husband in a wealthy family in the future, and maybe become a concubine and enjoy a good life?" He's mother retorted.
"Then you know that after selling herself, she will become a slave, and the power of life and death will be in the hands of others! Have you ever asked Xiaoyu if she is willing?" Aunt Qin pressed on step by step.
"If Xiaoyu was willing, she wouldn't have jumped into the river to commit suicide! I think it's good now. Xiaoyu is alone, which is better than working like a slave in the He family!" someone on the side interrupted.
"So you're saying, Xiaoyu has finally escaped from the sea of suffering, how could she possibly come back to serve your whole family? Don't dream on!" Aunt Qin laughed.
"I, I..." He's mother looked aggrieved and unable to refute.
"Okay, take care of your own household chores. If you don't have food, find a way to get it in the river at the foot of the mountain. I have a lot of things to do and don't have time to listen to you arguing about trivial matters!" The head of the village put away his pipe, turned around and left.
"Sister-in-law, did you hear me? Go and get some food. Are you planning to starve mother and younger sister to death?" After yelling at He's mother with full force, He Laoer's wife went back to her room.
The crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed, and she looked at her man helplessly, "Husband, where can I get food?"
"Hey, you carry one and put the other next to me. Go to the foot of the mountain and see if there are any mushrooms, wild fruits or anything like that!"
Boss He sighed, "My sister-in-law is right. Mom is injured, and we need to support the family. When I get better and can work, our life won't be so difficult!"
"But, I, I..." Mother He was usually timid and never dared to go to the foot of the mountain alone. "How about I get some wild vegetables from the fields nearby?"
"Wild vegetables are not nutritious. My little sister has lost too much blood and needs to be replenished." Father He sighed, "Forget it, you stay at home and look after the child. I'll go to the mountains to find something to eat!"
He held his waist, slowly stood up, found a sickle, and walked outside with difficulty.
"Husband, be careful!" He's mother warned in a low voice.
Seeing this, Su Li returned to the east end of the village where he lived.
[Host, this system has detected a group of wild boars on the mountain. Do you want to go take a look? Wild boar meat should be delicious! ]
The system suddenly made a sound.
"Wild boar?" Su Li raised an eyebrow. "Are you trying to tell me that Boss He encountered a herd of wild boars?"
[Yes! What are you going to do? ] The system asked in a low voice.
"It's OK! I'm not his daughter." Su Li curled her lips, "The client's wish is to let them fend for themselves, so let it be!"
