MTL - My Koi Sister is Three and a Half Years Old-Chapter 1 Sold for food and was struck by lightning
Chapter 1: Selling sons for food and getting struck by lightning
Da Viet Dynasty.
July, the twelfth year of Yongde.
The third year of drought.
The scorching sun was high in the sky, and the hot weather in July had cracked the land. Deep ravines had opened in the fields, and the streams had long since stopped flowing.
There was not even a hint of green on the trees.
The cicadas that could be seen everywhere in the past years are nowhere to be found.
"Mother, mother, you can't sell her. If you sell her, she will have no way of living!" The shrill cry was harsh and desperate.
“I’ve raised her for three years and I still can’t sell her? She’s just a loser!”
The sharp and mean voice was laced with greed.
"You're talking nonsense. You were obviously given money. You received a lot of money at that time, and you promised to support your sister! When your sister comes to my house, she is my biological sister!" The honest little boy was full of anger and angrily shouted at He rushed towards the old lady.
“Bah! It’s not your biological child, who is your sister?” the old lady spat, and kicked the little boy in the heart.
The old lady has her hands on her hips, her eyebrows are upturned, her lips are thin, her cheekbones are high, and her face has ridges and grooves.
A pair of eyes full of ridicule.
"Money? What money? What's the use of that little money? You can't even buy a bushel of rice now!" The old lady's eyes were full of eyes, as if she was looking at a piece of living meat.
The woman sitting on the ground was trembling all over. The money back then was enough for the whole family to have enough food and clothing.
What's more, feeding a milk baby.
That money was used to build a house for the Yan family and marry the third son a daughter-in-law. Suisui didn't spend a penny!
Ms. Lin is pale all over. Her mother-in-law took away her money. Her husband broke his leg while hunting. Now, the eldest son’s house is in ruins.
Mrs. Lin crawled forward with a pale face, tears falling down drop by drop: "Mom, please, Suisui is only three years old...she will be filial to you."
"Don't sell my sister, don't sell my sister. She has six daughters in her family. She has no good intentions...can't sell it!" The boy who was kicked to the ground was about twelve or thirteen years old. His face was yellow and skinny. Even so, he was still Crying and going up to **** my sister.
The man pointed at the daughters of the Li family, who were almost all skin and bones.
That family does not regard their daughter as a human being, and they are still willing to buy a child at this moment. They saw the old lady of the Li family swallowing secretly, as if she was extremely greedy.
The boy shuddered just thinking about it, his eyes filled with fear.
Three years of severe drought, and the family has no food...
No, no!
"Grandma, don't sell my sister. If you sell me, you sell me, you'll have a lot of meat..." The third brother rushed up while crying. The seven or eight-year-old child was so thin that a gust of wind could knock him over.
The Li family's cries were so loud that many people in the village opened their doors.
Some people frowned with disgust on their faces, while others felt a touch of nausea.
There were also people who looked at the child in Old Chen's hands, secretly swallowing.
She is so well-nourished, her skin is glowing white under the sun.
Delicate and cute.
Looks nothing like the Yan family.
It’s a pity that he is a fool.
When Old Chen saw everyone opening the door, he felt a bit angry in his heart and secretly gritted his teeth.
"Don't listen to this child's nonsense. This fool has been coming to my house for three years. He has raised her in vain. How can he be willing to harm her? He is here to enjoy the blessings of Aunt Li's house."
Everyone curled their lips in disdain. The six daughters of the Li family were timidly hiding behind the door, with injuries still visible on their bodies.
Come to her house to enjoy the happiness?
Her daughter is like an animal in her family.
Old Chen secretly glanced at the baby in her hand and pinched her neck tightly.
With just one mouthful to go, I died.
The Li family has no intention of buying a living one!
At this moment, no one noticed that the weak baby in her hand was slightly blinking her long and thick eyelashes.
The tips of his chubby fingers trembled slightly.
"You will suffer retribution. Suisui is a human being. She is a living person. You will suffer retribution if you sell her to Mrs. Li!" Mrs. Lin's face was covered with blood. She was trampled under her feet by her second younger brother and sister, and she screamed miserably. .
The second younger sibling, Xiao Chen, is the niece of the old woman’s natal family.
The baby in Old Chen's hand suddenly opened his eyes.
I saw the corners of her lips moving slightly.
Mrs. Li, who was carrying her, shivered suddenly.
A chill shot up from the soles of his feet to the sky, and all the hair on his body stood upside down, as if he was being stared at by something.
There was a sudden sound in the vast world, and no one had time to react.
"Boom..." A streak of lightning flashed across the clear sky.
Lightning and thunder seemed to split the heaven and earth into two halves.
Everyone watched helplessly as a huge lightning struck in the blue sky, as if it was going to pour out the anger of God, as if it was going to destroy all injustices in the world!
That thunder struck straight at the Li family!
…
A rumbling sound sounded, mixed with the panicked screams of everyone.
Thick black smoke suddenly rose from the roof of Li's house, and a huge fire swept across it instantly.
Little Milkman glanced briefly, and then fell asleep softly.
Hold him to death and pull him down.
“Come here, the Li family has been struck by lightning.”
The screams of the crowd echoed throughout the village.
The villagers ran out of the house crawling, some kneeling on the ground, and some running towards Li's house.
“The Li family is on fire, please come and put out the fire.”
“Oops, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yan were struck by lightning.”
Everyone rushed over in a hurry, shouting to put out the fire, but how could they save it?
The weather is so dry that it is almost impossible to draw water from the bottom of the well, let alone put out the fire?
The village chief could only barely rescue the people, and the Li family's house could only watch as it burned to the ground.
Nothing is left.
The six daughters of the Li family stood there blankly.
“Go and ask the old barefoot doctor from the village.”
“Oh, what a coincidence, it was struck by lightning. Didn’t it happen to hit both of them?” When everyone saw that everyone else was fine, they just struck down Mrs. Li and Mrs. Chen.
His hair was all singed, his body was pitch black, and his clothes were burned, like two fire sticks.
Ms. Lin and her two children got up in a hurry: "Suisui, Suisui..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as I picked up the child, I was startled.
Mother-in-law and Mrs. Li were chopped into firewood sticks, and Sui Sui was in their hands. At this moment, her lips were red and her teeth were white, but she was not affected at all.
I slept very sweetly, and I kept hitting my mouth, and it didn't look like I was struck by lightning.
Mr. Lin held the child in her arms and did not let outsiders see her.
“God has eyes, maybe even God can’t stand it anymore.”
“That is, people cannot be without conscience.”
“This is not conscienceless, this is called heartlessness.”
"Who doesn't know what will happen if you sell it to the Li family. I'm sorry for you, but God has opened my eyes."
“This child is very lucky...”
Lin pursed her lips and looked around cautiously.
Mrs. Lin hurriedly stood up with her child in her arms. Her two sons protected their mother. They wiped the blood from their faces with their hands and ran home staggeringly.
"San'er, you go to the village first and wait for your father. Tell him not to go back to his old house." Lin's eyes were red. Today, Boss Yan went to see his legs, but Chen just avoided them.
Selling her daughter and driving her out of the house were all calculated.
The years of disaster are difficult to endure, and the old house has abandoned them.
Asking for help is useless.
There was a dilapidated house at the end of the village, which could barely provide shelter from the wind and rain, so Lin and her children moved there.
Seeing the ruins of the wall, several people felt heavy-hearted.
“Have you stopped wanting us for a long time?” Lao San cried, clutching the corners of her mother’s clothes tightly, her eyes filled with fear.
"It's all because of the failure of my mother to live up to my expectations, and I can't protect you."
Back then, she insisted on following Yan Hansheng, but she had already lost contact with her natal family, and now she didn't even have a place to borrow food.
Who knows if the person lent out is the life of a family member?
Ms. Lin cried while holding her child.
With a destitute family, no money, and three years of severe drought, is it really the only way to die?
