Day by day in the infinite game
195. The silent truth (36)
[Silent truth five: We grow up in the sun, bathed in the spring breeze, enjoy the mutual love from family and friends, read books, watch TV dramas, raise flowers, walk the dog, go shopping, buy, buy, eat... this is probably
This is the common and ordinary happiness of ordinary girls.
In remote mountainous areas that we rarely know about, there is such a group. They have to be self-reliant since they were young, and they have to be sensible and independent early on. Either because their parents go out to work, they become left-behind children, or because their parents favor sons over daughters, they are often beaten, scolded and neglected.
Most of them live in difficult situations and are in an embarrassing situation, and it is difficult to get normal opportunities to study. They have to step into the society at a young age, learn to observe people's emotions, and imitate adults to earn three meals a day and save for tuition.
In this complicated environment of society, even adults can be accidentally hurt and cry, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, let alone children who are as simple as paper.
Then there are evil people who extend their evil claws to the ignorant ones, using small sweetness to lure the innocent lambs into the abyss step by step, and the young buds are maliciously knocked off the branches before they bloom.
The good and evil of human nature are often reflected in a single thought. One thought is heaven, the other is hell.
When you are trapped in a quagmire and embarrassed all over, should you look up at the stars, hide your strength, bide your time and fight back, or should you close your eyes, give up, and go with the flow?]
When Tang Qinqin opened his eyes, what he saw was the roof of a dark, damp and low house.
Blinking, she began to look around. She only saw a narrow "window" less than half a meter on one wall, which was sparsely sealed by a wooden fence, leaving only a few long and narrow windows.
The gaps let in sunlight and air.
Then he lowered his head and looked at his current situation. He was wearing dirty clothes with a strong smell, a tattered bedding full of stains, and heavy iron chains dragging on his feet. The slightest movement would make a dull "clang, dang, rang"
sound.
At first glance, it looks like a prison where criminals were imprisoned in ancient times.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cage. This is a cellar commonly used in some rural areas to store crops and other items. It was later used for other purposes and was slightly repaired.
And this "other use" is a cage used by people with ulterior motives to hide their dirty and sinful thoughts.
Tang Qinqin looked at the hands of the body at this time. The surface of the skin was dry and rough, and it was very dark. It was unclear whether it was skin color or age stains. The slightly long nails were embedded with mud, and the bare feet also looked the same.
.
She realized that she was probably someone who was illegally imprisoned, but she didn't know the specific circumstances and had to wait for someone to come to get more clues.
I licked my dry and flaky lips, and felt my dry and uncomfortable throat. It seemed that the treatment of my "prisoner" was not good, and I couldn't even get enough water.
Because he planned to hang out here for a few days to get effective clues, Tang Qinqin resisted the urge to look in the mirror in the companion space. As a girl who loves beauty and cleanliness, if he saw himself wearing a mask before leaving,
His big black face, how terrible it is, it’s better to stay out of sight.
It cannot affect the mood of the task.
From the dim light until nightfall, she finally waited for someone to come here.
As the door opened, two figures, one tall and one short, walked in.
Tang Qinqin smelled the food, and when the taller figure came up and handed over a rice bowl, she saw a fist-sized steamed bun and a bowl of stir-fried cabbage.
I really wanted to have the guts to roll my eyes and reject this "food that came to me", but it was shameful to waste food. Tang Qinqin, who always cherished food, couldn't knock it over.
She took it obediently.
The taller figure suddenly stretched out his hand and held her wrist tightly: "Meizi, I'm telling you, we have two children, so you should live a good life with me, and don't think about the past anymore. Give me a few more in the future.
Baby, it’s best to have a boy baby, I will be good to you.”
This sudden action and words made Tang Qinqin get goosebumps all over his body.
So the original owner is an unknown person with an unforgettable "past" who is bound to the house of the person in front of her as a daughter-in-law. To be precise, she is used as a "reproductive tool"?
Already have a baby?
This time, she is a good young man who has just fallen in love and has zero business experience.
It seems it's time to show off my acting skills again.
The short man who had been silent until now saw that Tang Qinqin had not responded, so he took a few steps forward and was about to slap him.
"Mom, don't touch her. It'll hurt her face." The man quickly stopped her.
"Can you be obedient without being beaten? Have you forgotten what happened to the new daughter-in-law of Li Zi's family in the village..." The suspected "mother-in-law" said bitterly.
"When you enter the house, you become a member of our family. You have to give birth to a grandson for me. What can you do if you give birth to a girl? Don't be one who can't lay eggs..."
"Mom, I'm still young. Don't be impatient about boys. There will always be more babies."
"Son, it's not what my mother told you. My mother-in-law can't get used to it. The money-losing guy is already one year old. Please hurry up and get me pregnant with a boy."
Tang Qinqin felt his palms itching as he listened to the mother and son singing together.
What the hell?
Not only illegal imprisonment, restriction of personal freedom, "domestic violence", but also the practice of favoring boys over girls?
Looking at their conditions, it doesn't look like they have a throne to inherit.
This "mother-in-law" is also a woman herself, so why bother to embarrass her own people.
Confused, confused!
No one heard Tang Qinqin's inner complaints. The two of them probably had other things to do, so they stayed for a while and then left, leaving her to eat in the dark.
But before leaving, Tang Qinqin heard her "mother-in-law" say something to the man, asking him to find a good buyer.
An idea flashed through her, and she somehow subconsciously felt that they were talking about finding a buyer to sell what they called "a money-losing product". The original owner's daughter was only one year old.
She had heard that in some areas, boys were so favored over girls that they would drown them, sell them, or throw them away after they gave birth to girls. Combined with the few words just mentioned, she believed they could do such a thing.
Tang Qinqin, who had originally wanted to continue sleeping for two days, could no longer sit still.
She can wait, but a child cannot afford to wait. Once it is sold, the chance of getting it back is very low.
She has seen many missing persons notices for children on the street, and has also watched large-scale family searching programs. Only a few can go through hardships and return to their relatives, and they have spent most of their lives like this.
Most of the time, the two places are separated from each other, and even yin and yang are separated.
The next evening, the opportunity Tang Qinqin had been waiting for came.
The man himself came to deliver the meal. When he came in, he closed the door, put the rice bowl aside and began to take off his clothes quickly.
Tang Qinqin, who had never seen such a battle before, opened his eyes wide and was stunned for two seconds before he reacted. He only felt a surge of "murderous intent" coming from the soles of his feet.
The man who had just taken off his shirt and was about to touch the waist of his trousers was unprepared for the fact that he was spinning around. When the confusion in front of him finally receded, he was lying on his back in a "big" position on the tattered and dirty bedding, looking at the roof, with his feet fastened by iron chains.
Tie tightly.
He sat up in a panic and looked for his "wife" in the dim light.
At this time, Tang Qinqin, who had successfully escaped, was adapting to his body that had become heavy and weak after being inactive for a long time, while looking for the figure of the cheap "mother-in-law" in the dark.
How poor is the living condition of this family that they are not even willing to light a light?
