Chapter 287 The Little Deaf-Mute of the Era 3
Chapter 287 The Little Deaf-Mute of the Era 3
How did the original owner get lost? Because of a child's curiosity, there are no entertainment activities in the current life.
Children love three things the most: the Lunar New Year, movies when the projectionist comes down to show them, and weddings. These are either lively events or not only lively but also have delicious food. In another ten or twenty years, we'll add the construction of a house and the raising of the main beam.
The original owner's three older siblings couldn't watch the blind date of his uncle's matchmaking, so they were extremely anxious. Thirteen-year-old Liu Yushan ordered his two servants to take the fourth brother to dig for wild vegetables. He secretly ran back home, but didn't dare to go straight home. So he followed the other children and peeked out from outside the yard to watch.
When the second sister, Liu Yumei, saw that her eldest brother had run away, and considering there was still the third brother, she made arrangements for the next brother, asking Liu Yuhe to look after the fourth brother, and then she ran back home.
The third brother was left alone, and he became even more anxious. But he remembered that his grandmother had said not to let his sister go home. What should he do? He came up with a good idea: he took his sister to a field of wild vegetables and taught her how to dig them.
Seeing how focused his sister was on digging, he thought, "I'll just go back and take a look, then come back to check on my sister later. I definitely can't let things get delayed."
But watching the excitement wasn't just about watching; the children gathered with their usual playmates, chatting and watching the spectacle, and before they knew it, time had passed.
The original owner was young, and she got tired after digging for a short while. She had been to this place with her older brother and sister before, so she didn't see them and wasn't afraid.
After resting for a while, she ran to another patch of wild vegetables. She dug and ran around like this until she left the original spot and entered the woods.
Her brother-in-law's blind date didn't work out in the end. Although Zhang Dani had carefully selected the date, Liu Xiaozhu still couldn't get over his mental block when it came down to it.
At this time of year, if both parties are interested in a blind date, the man is expected to invite the matchmaker and the girl to have lunch at his home. Zhang Dani couldn't persuade her son otherwise, so she politely saw the matchmaker and the girl off.
She was already in a bad mood, and while she was seeing people off, she saw those three adopted grandchildren among the group of children outside. After she finished seeing them off and caught the three of them, she found out that they had abandoned their youngest child at the foot of the mountain.
Now, Zhang Dani couldn't care less about being angry and scolding anyone. She quickly ran back to the yard, called Liu Xiaozhu, and asked Liu Yumei and Liu Yuhe to watch the house. The two of them took Liu Yushan and ran down the mountain.
When they arrived, they saw a basket lying on the ground with some wild vegetables, but there was no sign of anyone. The group panicked and searched the vicinity, but after a while they still couldn't find anyone, Zhang Dani asked Liu Xiaozhu to go to the field to call for help.
Yes, apart from the parties involved and the child, the rest of the Liu family members were still working normally in the fields for food and money.
At this moment, Liu Yushan was so scared that he cried. If the fourth brother were lost, his grandfather and father would beat him to death, since he was the eldest brother!
Zhang Dani wasn't in the mood to pay attention to her either. She was still looking for someone nearby. Lao Si couldn't hear her, so even if she called for help, no one would listen to her.
Meanwhile, the original owner of this body had been digging for wild vegetables in the woods for a while when she became tired and hungry. She wanted to go home, but with the trees providing cover, she couldn't find her way.
He walked down the mountain in a daze, but everyone knows that going uphill is easier than going downhill, especially for a tired and hungry three-headed man like him. He tripped and fell down the mountain, hitting his head on a rock and passing out.
The place where the original owner fainted was in a direction far from where they went up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables.
In the original storyline, the Liu family searched all afternoon along the direction they had taken to dig for wild vegetables up the mountain, but they couldn't find the original owner. They had no choice but to go back to the village and ask the villagers for help in the search, since their family was too small for such a large mountain.
It wasn't until nightfall that the original owner woke up, her whole body aching, and she cried out in fear, which attracted the attention of the nearby villagers.
Yes, the original owner could speak. She was two years old when she had a fever, and her family had taught her some simple words. Later, she lost her hearing and stopped speaking for a long time. Gradually, she forgot what she had learned before and could no longer speak.
When the original owner was found and brought home, she was covered in injuries and sent to the clinic again. Her three older siblings were all severely beaten. Later, her mother, Niu Xiaolan, was worried and took her with her everywhere she went after the original owner recovered.
She followed her mother around and learned how to do chores, so the original owner had no problem living on her own and had mastered basic life skills.
However, she couldn't go to school, and later she even forgot how to speak. She faced many inconveniences in her life, but at least she was able to survive. But she didn't understand many things, especially interpersonal relationships, because she had never received such information or education.
Later, her uncle got married and had children, and her older brother and sister also got married and had children. When she reached the appropriate age, it was impossible for her to stay at home and be raised. In the countryside, a young woman who was deaf, mute, and quite good-looking could easily get into trouble if not kept in check.
So, despite the difficulties, her family decided to find her a husband.
After searching high and low, they finally found a polio patient of the same age in the town. The family was relatively well-off, with both parents working. The son was the youngest child in the family, and the parents said they would live with their youngest son and take care of them.
When the Liu family saw that this was a family with good conditions, they agreed. They thought that once the in-laws helped raise the child, Liu Yuxi would have someone to rely on.
But who knew that the son-in-law was short-tempered? During the wedding night, because the original owner didn't understand and didn't cooperate, she was beaten for the first time after the marriage. She tried to run away, but the door to the room was locked.
Since the original owner could only make "ah, ah" sounds, and with the cover-up by her in-laws, no one else in the neighborhood noticed anything unusual.
And so, the original owner began living under domestic violence. Did the Liu family know? At that time, the market opened up, and every time Niu Xiaolan came to town to sell vegetables and buy things, she would often come to see her daughter.
However, because the original owner couldn't speak, her husband would hit her body when he hit her, and her mother-in-law was always there with her, so Niu Xiaolan never found out about this.
The Liu family only found out about this when the original owner gave birth. At that time, Niu Xiaolan was worried about her daughter, so she came over every day to help take care of her. That's when she discovered the injuries on the original owner's back, which meant that the original owner was still being beaten while she was pregnant.
But by this time, the original owner had already given birth to a child, and if she divorced now and started looking for a new husband, what kind of good family could her daughter find? So, Niu Xiaolan made a scene at her son-in-law's house and called the Liu family to beat up her son-in-law, but she still allowed the original owner to live in her husband's house.
The original owner's first child was a daughter. At that time, the one-child policy required that only one child be born. If it weren't for the fear that it would be difficult for the son to find another partner after a divorce, they would actually want the two of them to divorce. Now, they can only try to find a way to let the original owner have another child secretly.
