| Chapter 34 Suffering little feet. | |
| Jianguo felt very guilty. His mother had said before that Sister Sisi was the little princess in the family and had never suffered hardship, but now she had suffered so much for the sake of the three brothers. Jianguo was very moved, but he also felt closer to Tian Sisi in his heart. Unknowingly, Tian Sisi gained three loyal little brothers. | |
| Tian Sisi was pulled by Jianguo and staggered forward. She didn't know how much time had passed. It felt like several hours had passed. "Why hasn't dad come yet?" Tears rolled in Tian Sisi's eye sockets, but because there was Jianguo next to her, she could not hold back from crying. | |
| A car bell rang in front of her, like the sound of nature, "Daddy, I'm here. Daddy, why did you come here? Oh, my feet are broken." When Tian Sisi saw the familiar figure in front of her, she couldn't hold it back and shed tears. | |
| At this moment, one of Tian Sisi's pigtails came loose, her face was red from the cold, and there was a lot of mud on her clothes. She was crying and in a state of embarrassment. Poor grandma, how could she have suffered such a crime? Tian Manyin's heart felt like a large piece of it had been cut with a knife, and the pain was tight. He hurriedly put cotton jackets on Tian Sisi and Jianguo. The two children had suffered a lot. | |
| "My dear, it's daddy's fault. Let's go home quickly and take a bath in the hot water. Jianguo, too. We've walked a long way, so don't get hurt." Tian Manyin hurriedly carried Tian Sisi to the front bumper of the car and Shou Jianguo to the back seat of the car. After they sat firmly, they got on the car and drove back. Ai Qing, the mother of the family, didn't know how anxious they were. | |
| Weiguo and Baoguo timidly followed Tian Xinhua into the yard, but did not dare to go in when they reached the door of the house. They had been here several times. Grandma was very good to them, and so were their uncles and aunts. They would give them food to eat, but grandpa did not like them and always refused to let them and their mother into the house. Every time their mother came back from here, she would cry until midnight. | |
| Children who have been discriminated against since childhood are always more sensitive, especially Wei Guo, who is an emotionally fragile boy. He is holding the hand of his younger brother Bao Guo tightly, looking at the old lady Zhao who came out of the room, and called out "Grandma" in a low voice. The old lady Zhao was worried that her granddaughter would come out to take a look after hearing the noise, but unexpectedly she met her two grandsons. | |
| "Weiguo, Baoguo, why are you here? Where are your mother and eldest brother? Xinhua, did something happen to Grandma and your sister-in-law?" Mrs. Zhao was taken aback and asked a bunch of questions. She thought something happened to her little daughter's family, and Grandma also had an accident. | |
| "No, nothing happened. Madam, please don't worry. Let us go inside and have a drink of water. I'll talk about it later." Tian Xinhua pedaled hard all the way, and smoke was coming out of his mouth. | |
| "Oh, look at how stupid you are, my dear, come in and have a sip of hot water." Once Mrs. Zhao heard that nothing happened to her granddaughter and daughter, she felt relieved and returned to her usual cheerfulness, and asked the three of them to go into the house to warm up. | |
| When Wei Guo and Bao Guo saw their kind grandmother, they were no longer as afraid of life as they were at first. They followed Tian Xinhua into the house, where Tian Bajin and his family were also present. After Tian Xinhua drank two bowls of water, he picked out the important things and talked about the sister-in-law and three cousins. My younger brother is bullied every day, and my sister-in-law's family has nothing to eat, and she wears extremely thin clothes. When Tian Xinhua said these words, the faces of everyone in the room changed. Although they knew that Tian Manlan's life was hard, they didn't know that it could be so miserable. | |
| Mrs. Zhao and Li Yuedi reached out and touched the cotton-padded jackets of Wei Guo and Jianguo, and tears came down. "What a sin, my poor grandson. It's all your fault for your ignorant mother. She insists on marrying your second-rate father. She has harmed herself and you three children!" | |
| Mrs. Zhao burst into tears, not only feeling sorry for the suffering of her daughter and grandson, but also resenting that Tian Manlan wanted to marry that bastard Shou Jizu back then. The old man frowned, stopped his wife's crying, and asked, "Where are A'nan and Jianguo?" | |
| Tian Xinhua was interrupted by Mrs. Zhao just now, and now he added: "Ana was worried that my cousin would freeze at night, so she left all the food given by her aunts to my sister-in-law, and took her cousin down the mountain. I rode back with Weiguo and Baoguo first, and A'nan and Jianguo followed on foot. My fourth uncle has already gone to pick him up, and he should be here soon." | |
| When Mrs. Zhao heard that her precious granddaughter had walked dozens of miles of mountainous roads, she couldn't stop crying. The palms of her hands were flesh, and the backs of her hands were also flesh. She felt bad for her granddaughter's suffering, and she also felt bad for her grandson's suffering. What evil had been done! | |
| At this time, Zhu Aiqing had already found Tsinghua's clothes from the room, and Zhu Qingping also found Niu Niu's clothes, asking Weiguo and Baoguo to put them on quickly. Women's hearts were soft, and their eyes were red when they saw the two children's cracked ears and hands. | |
| Tian Bajin smoked a bag of hookah and said to the old man: "Brother, no matter how old Manlan is, she is still a girl from our Tian family, but the gang of bastards from the Xingshou family did nothing to harm her. We didn't know it before, but now that we know it, we can't just stand by and watch. Tomorrow I will ask the three brothers Mantu, Manmu, and Manyin to go to Huangkeng Village and ask for justice for Manlan. Otherwise, Huangkeng Village will think that our Tian family has no one." | |
| "Yes, I'm going to go too, beat these bastards to death." Tian Jinhua interrupted bitterly, changing his usual dull tone. Although he and Tian Manlan were aunts and nephews, they were only five or six years apart in age. Tian Manlan had taken him to play with him since he was a child, and they had a particularly good relationship. | |
| Tian Bajin looked at his eldest son with relief and nodded. The old man pondered for a long time, and finally said in a low voice, "I don't care about this, you can make your own arrangements, it has nothing to do with me." Tian Bajin smiled and said nothing. The eldest brother was afraid of losing face. After all, he said that "I won't care about her even if I die in front of him." | |
| Old Mrs. Zhao cried with joy, and the old man finally relented. She had been in the old man's way all these years, and even if she wanted to help Man Lan, she could only do so secretly. Otherwise, how could she not know that Man Lan and her children had suffered so much? If A'nan and Xinhua hadn't found out this time, her Man Lan would have been tortured to death by those bastards! | |
| There was a sound of braking outside, and Tian Xinhua ran out first. Tian Manyin walked in with Tian Sisi in his arms, and Jianguo followed. Zhu Aiqing had already changed Donghua's cotton-padded jacket for Jianguo. Tian Xinhua's cotton-padded jacket was too big, while Donghua's cotton-padded jacket was just right for Jianguo, but a little too big. Although Donghua was one year younger than Jianguo, he was much stronger than Jianguo. Jianguo was dark and thin, and he looked like he had never had a full meal. | |
| Mrs. Zhao no longer cared about Jianguo. She hurriedly looked at Tian Sisi in her son's arms and saw that she was just asleep. She was relieved. Tian Manyin asked Zhu Aiqing to quickly bring two basins of hot water to boil the two children's feet. Zhu Aiqing sighed and hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare hot water. Zhu Qingping followed behind to help. After the last lesson, Zhu Qingping has indeed improved a lot, and his eyes are clearer. | |
| Tian Manyin took off Tian Sisi's cotton shoes. As soon as he took off his socks, Tian Sisi said "hmm" and shrank her feet. Jin Wanming looked carefully at the side and saw that the blood on her feet had covered the socks. She hurriedly asked Tian Manyin not to take them off, took the scissors from the sewing basket, cut off the socks on Tian Sisi's feet, and took them off. | |
| The socks came off to reveal Tian Sisi's little feet covered with blood blisters. Several of the blood blisters burst and stuck to the socks. There was no other way. Jin Wanming had to grit her teeth. The long-term pain was worse than the short-term pain. She used force to tear off the sticky socks. Tian Sisi woke up with an "ouch" in pain. | |
| Mrs. Zhao kept crying while hugging Tian Sisi, and kept shouting, "My mother-in-law has suffered a lot! It's all your sister-in-law's fault. You are a stupid girl who is ignorant and harms others and herself!" | |
| Others felt uncomfortable when they saw it. Tian Manyin's eyes were red, and his feet were connected to his heart. Grandma was in so much pain! Those bastards, I will beat you to death tomorrow. Although Tian Manyin also blames his little sister, what he hates the most is the Shou family. In his opinion, without the Shou family to teach his little sister, how could Grandma suffer this? Tian Manyin's anger was directed at Shou's family. | |
