Chapter 175 Lin Panpan's Experience
When Lin Panpan's maternal grandfather learned of this, he also felt some sympathy for his niece and her mother.
Because their daughter had just passed away, leaving behind a five-year-old granddaughter, the siblings decided to let Sun Hao and her mother stay with them...
Lin Panpan's cousin's daughter, Zhao Cuicui, was a year older than her. Perhaps because she was not favored at home, she was not only dark-skinned but also not good-looking.
So, after the mother and daughter settled in, they were initially treated well, but after a while, this aunt and her father started sleeping together.
When Lin Panpan's maternal grandfather noticed something was amiss, his cousin Sun Hao was already three months pregnant.
Although Lin Panpan's maternal grandfather was angry, he was also reluctant to marry someone else, considering that his daughter had passed away and his son-in-law was in his prime.
So he went to his sister and asked her to give his niece, Sun Hao, to him. His sister had no reason to disagree.
As a token of gratitude, they even gave his family a shop.
The day of the adoption was also the wedding day of Lin Panpan's father and that cousin...
The following year, Lin Panpan's stepmother gave birth to a son for her father.
Thus began her tragic life; she fell seriously ill when her younger brother turned one month old.
And so, for some reason, rumors started circulating that she had a bad fate and would bring misfortune to her relatives, especially her younger siblings.
Upon hearing this news, Lin's maternal grandfather also believed those nonsense stories. He said, "No wonder her mother didn't have any more children after giving birth to her; otherwise, her daughter wouldn't have had this accident when she went to burn incense to pray for a child."
Because of this, my grandfather hated her.
On her father's side, she was even worse off; from then on, she was sent to a village in the countryside near Linjia Township.
When she was fourteen, news came from her family that the Feng family, with whom she had been engaged, wanted to marry Zhao Cuicui, the daughter brought by her stepmother.
That won't do. All these years of forbearance were for the purpose of leaving the Lin family once the marriage agreement with the Feng family was finalized.
Before she could even get home and demand an explanation, she was sold—that's what Du Wanru witnessed.
She was also drugged for several days before waking up, only to learn that she had been sold into that filthy place.
How could she not make a scene?
As Jun Wenhui listened to their stories, tears streamed down her face.
Looking at their thin clothes and the whip marks on their bodies, not a single patch of undamaged flesh, I could see the danger.
The hands and feet were red and swollen from the cold, with dark purple bruises under the nails.
Lin Panpan cried uncontrollably, watching them stare at her and Du Wanru's fingernails, and said, "These were all caused by those people using tweezers. They even used needles as thin as hair to prick into the nails."
Jun Wenhui was trembling with rage: "Vicious! How could those people be so vicious!"
Dongfang Jin...
How can I remind her of the scene when Rong Momo pricked Ziwei with needles?
Her body trembled involuntarily. She was most afraid of pain; her fingers were connected to her heart, and that must hurt terribly.
As Aunt Hui helped her put on her cotton-padded coat, Dongfang Jin stopped her, saying, "Aunt Hui, just put their undergarments on them. When Grandpa Xu comes to examine them and gives them medicine, we'll need to apply it to their wounds."
"Okay, how can those people be so cruel? Don't they have any children?"
Dongfang Jin...
Who are you talking to about these things?
Haven't you heard that actors are heartless and prostitutes are unrighteous?
She glanced outside and, seeing that no one had arrived yet, quietly recounted where the women had been rescued from.
Jun Wenhui held Dongfang Jin's small hand and said with admiration, "You did a great job. This matter can't be mentioned again, or they probably won't be able to go home."
We'll settle this score later, but they can't use their original names; they have to start over.
In a little while, I'll have Rui Ge'er and Xiao Jun go to the county government office and give each of them a contract of indenture.
Or you could ask the county magistrate to write their names down in a notebook, proving that they will be your household servants from now on.
By making things official, it will not only be good for them, but others will also be less likely to bully them, and those people will not be allowed to come looking for them again.
"Then, you'll have this notebook, and it will be convincing proof that you bought them."
"However, you should write down their backgrounds and send them to the magistrate."
I think he can handle these things, and even if he doesn't handle them well, he can still send you information about their families.
Dongfang Jin didn't understand any of this. Hearing her say that, he looked at Du Wanru and Lin Panpan and asked, "What do you think?"
Lin Panpan and Du Wanru both agreed and said they would follow their arrangements.
When Jun Qixian and Gu Yumei brought in the five children, they saw their abnormally fair and delicate little faces.
Seeing their red eyes again, Jun Wenhui covered her mouth and cried.
These children, how could their families be so heartless? A girl, how much food can she possibly eat?
Take good care of them, and when they come of age, find them a good family. If they don't like it, they can marry someone from a far away place. Why sell them? Can't you tolerate them?
At this moment, Grandpa Xu walked into the courtyard carrying his medicine box, followed by Aunt Gu and Yang Zhu, who both looked anxious.
The group entered the house and greeted each other. Aunt Gu and Yang Zhu, seeing this, wisely refrained from asking any further questions and simply stood quietly to one side.
Dongfang Jin gestured to Grandpa Xu to show the younger ones first, because she could already hear a series of "gurgling" sounds.
After examining each of the younger children, Grandpa Xu pointed at Yang Hui and said, "This child has been given a drug to make her mute, but the poison isn't very strong; two doses of medicine should be enough to alleviate the symptoms."
They're all fine, just a bit weak from being hungry for so long. They'll recover with some food.
Give him more soft, mushy foods, and less meat. He's still young, good job.
Yang Hui bowed to Grandpa Xu and said, choking back tears, "I managed to vomit some out in time."
Yes, after those people forced her to drink the medicine, she vomited some of it when they weren't looking.
Grandpa Xu nodded and said gently, "After taking these two doses of medicine, you'll be fine. Don't worry."
He felt a pang of pity for these children. Although he didn't know where Cheng Lin's family had gotten these children from, he had at least saved their lives.
After hearing this, Dongfang Jin asked Jun Qixian to take the five of them to the kitchen for dinner.
After they left, Dongfang Jin and Jun Wenhui got up, revealing the two people lying on the kang (a heated brick bed).
When Grandpa Xu saw this, he paused for a moment, asked nothing, and then walked over to quietly examine their bodies.
After the inspection, Xu A hesitated for a moment, looked at the people in the room, and then looked at Dongfang Jin with complicated feelings.
He sighed deeply: "Xiao Jin, I'm afraid those two are..."
Dongfang Jin interrupted him in time, and said with a smile, "Uncle Xu, please speak freely, since they have come to our house."
Although they are servants, they are still family. Please use whatever medicine is appropriate.
She bit the "servant" very hard, which was also to tell them that this was someone she had bought, someone who belonged to her family.
How could Grandpa Xu not understand her unspoken meaning: "Alas, apart from external injuries, they don't have any serious internal injuries."
After speaking, he considered it again and again, and finally sighed: "It's just that the two of them were probably given a special safflower soup that is unique to brothels, and not just once."
It seems these children were rescued from that kind of place; it's just a pity...
When Grandpa Xu said this, Aunt Gu, Yang Zhu, and Gu Yumei didn't understand, but Jun Wenhui did, and she was shocked more than once.
In brothels, there's a special soup made with safflower, prepared specifically to prevent women from getting pregnant after entertaining customers.
It could be said that what they were given was a drug that would prevent them from having children; this method was incredibly insidious.
Even if this woman is redeemed, it will be difficult for her to have children.
One bowl of this medicine can render a woman infertile for life, and this has happened more than once.
This is going to completely ruin them both.
