94. Chapter 94: Trapped Beast Fighting

"Sister Chunmiao, I have a way, you do this..." Jiang Xiaoxiao whispered in Chunmiao's ear.

With the words, Chunmiao's eyes gradually widened.

She looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao incredibly: "Th-this, can it work?"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Jiang Xiaoxiao blinked at her cunningly.

Chunmiao bit her lip, looked at Chunya, who was lowering her head and beating eggs silently to the side, made up her mind, and looked determined.

At night, she didn't go to the kitchen to grind knives and boil medicine as usual, but shook Zhao Dasao awake.

"What's wrong, Chunmiao?" Zhao Dasao thought she had something, and sat up all at once.

After three meals of safflower medicine soup every day for the past few days, her body was much better, the bruises from the beating were gone, and her legs and feet had strength.

"Mom, Dad... snatched the safflower herbs Xiaoxiao gave me..." Chunmiao cried and wiped her tears, "Can you help me ask for them back."

Zhao Dasao heard this and subconsciously looked at the empty bed on the side. Zhao the Scoundrel hadn't been home for a few days.

Where did he go at night... She naturally heard the rumors in the village.

But she thought that as long as no one saw it with their own eyes, it wouldn't be true.

After covering her ears for a long time, sometimes she really deceived herself—the villagers were all talking nonsense, and Zhao the Scoundrel wouldn't cheat outside no matter how mixed he was.

Now going to find Zhao the Scoundrel, there is no doubt that she has to face the fact that she doesn't want to face.

"Okay, I'll go with you." After a long silence, Zhao Dasao finally nodded.

The mother and daughter left the courtyard lightly.

After the door closed, eight-year-old Chunya slowly opened her eyes. She looked out the window, and the figures of the two were walking toward Widow Xu's house.

These days, Zhao the Scoundrel stayed at Widow Xu's place, and his lower body was so happy that he forgot his fear when he first came to Widow Xu.

Widow Xu was thinking about the wages of Zhao the Scoundrel's two daughters, thinking that she would take advantage of these few days to blow the pillow wind, and trick Zhao the Scoundrel into giving half of the money to herself, so she used all her skills to serve Zhao the Scoundrel these days.

"Brother Zhao, when are you going to ask for the wages of your daughters at Jiang's house?" Widow Xu lay in Zhao the Scoundrel's arms like a bird, using her fingers to tease Zhao the Scoundrel's withered chest.

"What's the rush, wait for a few days." Zhao the Scoundrel grabbed her hand and reached under his body.

Widow Xu endured the nausea and continued: "Then if you get the money, will you give it to the one at home..."

"Give it to that yellow-faced woman?" Zhao the Scoundrel spat, "Is that yellow-faced woman worthy! I feel sick when I see her face, and I can't sleep. Even if I give it to you, I won't give it to that yellow-faced woman!"

Widow Xu, who heard this, was very proud, but still pretended to be worried: "But the wages were earned by her two daughters after all. If you don't give it to her, what if she doesn't give it to you..."

"She dares!" Zhao the Scoundrel sneered, "Just two dead girls, if they dare not give me money, I will find a human trafficker to sell them, and see if she dares not listen to me!"

"Brother Zhao, you really love me..."

Groans began to come out of the room intermittently.

Zhao Dasao, who had been standing outside the house for I don't know how long, had a pale face.

Chunmiao, who was beside her, clenched her fists tightly. Although she had expected to hear some unpleasant words in her heart, she didn't expect Zhao the Scoundrel to be so shameless!

Not only did he covet the wages of her and her sister, but he also wanted to sell them to human traffickers!

Chunmiao took a deep breath, barely suppressing the anger in her heart. She turned to look at her mother, thinking that now you should be completely dead to Zhao the Scoundrel, right?

This is the method Jiang Xiaoxiao gave.

To make her mother completely dead, she took her to listen to the corner of Zhao the Scoundrel and Widow Xu, breaking the last line of defense and delusion in her mother's heart, and letting her see clearly how Zhao the Scoundrel viewed her!

Zhao Dasao's face was as white as paper. She stood there blankly, never speaking, her eyes lost, looking ahead, not knowing what she was thinking.

Chunmiao looked at her like this, feeling a bit distressed, and couldn't bear to say anything in the end.

Until this moment, the bloody fact was in front of her. Witnessing the two cheating, she didn't know if her mother would be completely dead to Zhao the Scoundrel, but she must be very uncomfortable in her heart.

"Mom, let's go." Chunmiao pulled the dazed Zhao Dasao home.

Zhao Dasao didn't resist, letting her pull her along, like a puppet without a soul, the whole person was confused.

However, when they arrived home, they found that Chunya was gone!

Zhao Dasao's hollow eyes gradually had some emotions. She shouted Chunya's name like crazy. The mother and daughter searched the house from top to bottom, but couldn't find Chunya.

"My Chunya... where did she go?" Zhao Dasao knelt on the ground crying, the successive blows made her completely collapse, and she cried out.

Chunmiao bit her lip in self-blame. If she hadn't pulled her mother out in the middle of the night, Chunya wouldn't have disappeared...

Just when the two were heartbroken, Chunya returned.

Seeing that small figure, Zhao Dasao rushed up and hugged her crying: "Chunya, where did you go, you scared Mom to death..."

Chunya was rarely silent and didn't speak, letting her mother hug her and cry.

But Chunmiao found that Chunya was very dirty, her small face was stained with something, like pot ash, black, and the two hands hanging on her side were also dirty and black.

"Chunya, you..."

Before Chunmiao could ask, a scream suddenly came from afar, breaking the silent night.

"Fire! Come quickly—"

The smell of gunpowder smoke came from the cool night air.

Fire ignited in the direction not far away. The fire was very bright, almost illuminating that piece of night.

The neighbors all came out of the house, saw the smoke and fire that reached the sky, were startled, and hurriedly carried their own water buckets to save the fire.

Chunmiao had sharp eyes. She saw the direction everyone rushed to, which was the direction they had just returned from.

—Widow Xu's house.

"Chunya, y-you, what are these on your body?" Zhao Dasao also reacted at this time, looking at the smoke ash on Chunya's small face, and asked with a trembling voice: "D-did you set that fire?"

Chunya still didn't speak, just lowered her head.

But this appearance was obviously acquiescence.

"Slap!"

This slap sound was exceptionally crisp and loud in the night.

Chunya was beaten and her head tilted to one side. She looked at Zhao Dasao, whose eyes were red, and wow, she cried out.

"Why did Dad treat us like that... Mom, tell me... Why did Dad treat us like that... Did Sister and I do something wrong? I tried hard to be hungry every day and didn't eat, just hoping Dad could treat us better, but why did he go outside to find other women..."

Chunya's crying was heartbreaking.

But it didn't seem so conspicuous in the noisy middle of the night.
