Chapter 252 Asking for help
Listening to Li Danniu's pitiful hawking voice, the people in front of her were indeed a little interested. Their mouths moved, but no action was taken. Their eyes seemed to fall on the person standing in the middle, as if waiting for someone to express his opinion.
Until the one who looked the most imposing said, "I've been walking all day and I'm a little thirsty. I've bought everything. Let's help this girl."
"Ah, Sister Xiao is really kind-hearted. She feels sorry for this little girl and is willing to help her."
"Little girl, you are so lucky. How much is this cucumber..."
When the others heard this, they hurriedly flattered her or offered money. It seemed that this Sister Xiao in front of them was an extraordinary person and the leader of this group. Lan was filled with admiration.
The Sister Xiao in front of her is what Lan Xin wants to become in the future. Just thinking about the day when a bunch of people will flock to her when she waves her hand is a beautiful thing.
Li Danniu named a price, took the money, and looked eagerly at the woman standing in the middle, saying, "Thank you, beautiful auntie."
The woman looked at Li Danniu, who was so skinny and malnourished that she looked like she could be blown down by the wind. She couldn't help but frowned and asked, "How old are you? Why doesn't your family let you go to school?"
Thinking of what she had just said, the woman's face darkened. As a woman, she was even more unwilling to see other women suffer, not to mention that she also had a daughter.
Seeing a girl of the same age as her daughter having no education and being forced by her family to sell things, Sister Xiao couldn't help but feel angry.
"What about what you just said about your family beating you to death?"
Li Danniu raised her head, and her thin face had a pair of big, dark, shiny eyes looking at people. "My name is Li Danniu. My father is gone and my mother ran away. My grandparents dislike my sister and I for not being boys. They don't give us food to eat or education. They let me sell cucumbers to make money and my sister does farm work at home. They say we have to take care of them in their old age."
"How ridiculous!" Not only was the woman angry, but the group of people with her also became angry.
They had never heard of such a thing, a 10-year-old child was asked to take care of an adult in his old age. Did the adult have broken arms and legs? The food and drink for the whole family was earned by this little girl?
Lan Xin, who was not far away, also showed an angry expression on her face. She had witnessed how shameless those two old people were. With their outrageous actions, they let two granddaughters who were less than ten years old take care of them in their old age. This was definitely something they could do.
Everyone already thought this was outrageous, but Li Danniu's next sentence made them all furious.
"Auntie, why don't you buy me? I eat very little and can do a lot of things. I can cook, wash clothes, sweep the floor, mop the floor, plant rice, harvest rice, and sell things. Please buy me. My grandparents said they want to sell me to Grandpa Niu in the village as a daughter-in-law!"
Li Danniu raised her head, tears falling down her young face. She looked particularly helpless with tears on her face. The words that came out of her mouth made people feel heartbroken.
The area within a few meters where Li Dani's words were heard suddenly became quiet. People had dull expressions on their faces. In the distance, shouting and laughter mixed together, as if everything had nothing to do with the scene before their eyes.
What did they just hear? Who dared to imagine that this was something that could happen in the new era?
This time, before Sister Xiao could speak, a young man passing by could not help but said quickly: "This is simply too outrageous!"
"It's a new era now. Great men have said that women hold up half the sky and children are the flowers of the future of the motherland. How dare they do this? This is a slap in the face of us modern people. They are the remnants of the old society and the cancer of the new society!"
There was a flame of anger in the young man's eyes, and the others were equally furious.
Everyone felt unbelievable about what happened to Li Danniu.
What are her family members thinking? Li Da Niu is still a child, yet they want to marry her off? This is not marrying, this is selling!
Especially since she called that man "grandpa", it was obvious that he was an old bachelor.
This time, Sister Xiao could no longer remain calm. The aura around her was so overwhelming that Li Danniu dared not speak, and even her breathing became much weaker.
Seeing Li Da Niu like this, Sister Xiao restrained her aura and asked softly, "Dan Niu, tell me, which village are you from and where is your home?"
Li Danniu's eyes were filled with endless fear for her 'family'. She quickly shook her head and refused: "Auntie, do you want to send me home and tell them about this? No, I can't tell them, they will beat me to death!"
"No, I will help you and will never let you suffer any injustice."
When Sister Xiao thought of the little girl's family, her eyes sharpened. It would have been fine if this had not happened in front of her.
But now that Li Da Nv had come to her begging for help, she had to do something about it. She couldn't just watch this little girl, who was the same age as her daughter, being sold by her family.
Of course, Sister Xiao would not just listen to Li Danniu's one-sided statement. She would also investigate on her own. Thinking of this, she looked at Li Danniu with a gentle expression:
"Can you tell me what happened first? I'll go home with you and talk to your elders. Don't worry, I will protect you and your sister. They will never dare to hit you again. I will also pay for your schooling and living expenses."
Sister Xiao's words broke the dark barrier in Li Danniu's heart and lit up a light in her world. She nodded slightly and said "hmm".
Lan Xin, who was standing behind the tree, watched silently as Li Danniu and Xiao Jie and the others went down the mountain. She turned sideways and used the thick tree to shield her face so that no one could see clearly.
Li Da Nv and Sister Xiao and a few others walked past her. Li Da Nv looked at Lan Xin curiously.
Xiao Jie and the others planned to go to the village with Li Danniu, but she did not forget to arrange her own affairs. She left two people behind and instructed:
"Go and do what I just said. The location over there is great, but the land down this little mountain road is also great. Go along it and check out the situation."
Lan Xin leaned against a tree, her eyes complicated and her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She thought to herself that she had not underestimated this Li Da Nv. She was really courageous and smart. Finding a backer for herself was not something a child could do.
How could a child who grew up in a family like the Li family, a family of actors who blackmail people everywhere, not have any ideas in his mind?
Before, Lan Xin saw the two sisters being tortured by their family and was worried about them. Now, Li Danniu has found a place to stay for herself and her sister with her own abilities. It is simply amazing.
Judging from the demeanor of Sister Xiao and the look of the people following her, she doesn't look simple.
Whether she took in Li Danniu and her sisters or stepped forward to intimidate the cadres of Lijia Village and make them treat Li Danniu and her sisters well, it would be a good origin and a good future for them.
