Chapter 122 You are my sister


Chapter 122 You are my sister

Today Erya felt that dad came back very late and it was getting dark.

"What's wrong? Have you all eaten?"

When dad came back, mom was bringing out a bowl of egg custard from the kitchen.

The two men's eyes met, and the father nodded silently, and then the mother's eyes lit up.

My mother put the egg custard on the table and touched the head of her little son who had been waiting at the table for a long time.

“We have eaten, but your son keeps making noises about eating eggs, so there is nothing we can do.” My mother looked helpless.

Dad wiped his hands cheerfully, slapped his brother lightly on the head and said, "This brat is a mess."

He looked at it Erya, Sanya, and Siya stood outside the candlelight, but their eyes were particularly bright, staring eagerly at the bowl of egg custard.

“Come and eat too, one spoonful each.”

Erya immediately squeezed over excitedly and rested her head against the two sisters.

My mother glanced at her and handed her the spoon: "Erya, you are the oldest, you eat first."

The eldest sister has already married Wang Wucheng from the next village. So Erya became the eldest girl in the family.

Erya carefully scooped up a small spoonful and put it into his mouth. The egg was so smooth and tender that it slipped into his stomach before he even tasted it.

Erya reluctantly handed the spoon to Sanya, who also took a small spoonful.

Si Ya was bolder and ate a full spoonful, but was immediately scolded by her mother: "Glutty."

In the end, more than half of the bowl was left, and it went into her brother's stomach.

Wu Ya was just born and couldn’t eat these things.

After eating the egg custard, it’s time to go to bed.

Candles should not be lit for too long, it is too luxurious.

Erya lay down on her little bed, still savoring the taste of egg custard.

For her who drank porridge every night until she was dizzy with hunger, egg custard was indeed a rare delicacy.

After sleeping for a while, Erya woke up hungry again.

For some reason, she has been feeling hungry lately. She put the arm of Siya, who was sleeping next to her, on her stomach to make her stomach feel less hungry.

Erya didn’t know that she was getting hungry easily because she was growing taller.

Suddenly she heard her parents sighing.

"Erya is still young..." Dad's voice was helpless.

“You’re not young anymore. I was only two years older than her when I got married to you.”

“And I just want Erya to go live there first, so there’s no rush. Let’s get married and consummate the marriage when we are older.”

The words my mother said made Erya feel like she had fallen into an ice cave.

Although she is young, children from poor families mature early, so she is no longer a child who doesn't understand anything.

A small hand reached out and squeezed her cold and trembling hand.

It’s Siya.

"And what's the situation in other people's families, what's the situation in our family? It's better for Erya to be well-fed and well-dressed than to be with us and not even have enough to eat, right?"

"Alas... …”

"Besides, Brother Chun is going to school, where does the money come from?"

"Brother Zheng is also going to take the county examination. If he really wins, I heard later that he will hire a famous teacher, and the money will come from Where did it come from?”

“Oh, yes, yes.”

That’s it for Erya.

Siya gently hugged her body and trembled with her.

Maybe she understood it, maybe she didn't, but Erya herself was shaking badly.

Erya felt that the pillow was a little wet, so she turned over.

I turned it over several times in one night, like making pancakes, and I couldn’t sleep at all.

After staying up until morning, she ran out without eating breakfast.

We arrived at the creek where we saw the little fairy yesterday and stood there for a long time.

"You girl, why are you running around?" Erya's father came after him panting. Shiniu Village was not big, and Erya couldn't run anywhere.

“Dad?” Erya was surprised. Doesn’t dad usually go to work in the fields early in the morning? "Go home quickly, pack up for you, and go somewhere."

"I...I don't want to go..." Erya understood what her father meant.

“Be obedient, you are my sister, you cannot be willful.”

Erya is most afraid of her father's stern face. Every time his father looks like this, he will be beaten in pain for several days.

And she has heard this sentence countless times.

She is the elder sister, so she cannot compete with her younger siblings for the egg custard.

She is the older sister, so the toys have to be given to her younger siblings.

She is the older sister, so she has to share more of the dirty work.

Finally one day, she felt, why?

“I don’t!” Erya shouted, turned around and ran away.

But after running a few steps, he was caught and held in mid-air.

Erya kicked her calves and cried, but she was too weak, how could she resist her father?

Just like that, she was caught and brought home.

I was held down by my mother, took a shower, and changed into relatively clean clothes.

This was a new dress that her mother gave her during the Chinese New Year last year, using her eldest sister’s clothes. She was reluctant to take them off even while wearing them.

Then, crying so weakly, she was tied with a rope by her parents, her mouth sealed, and sent to a carriage parked at the door.

"Well, she's not an ugly girl." The old grandma pinched her little face that was red from crying and looked at it carefully.

My parents didn’t dare to speak and smiled cowardly.

"Here, take the money."

"From now on, she will be the distinguished young lady of our family and the niece of our wife, so you understand, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, We understand that we will not go to see the young mistress."

The old woman got on the carriage, without looking at Erya, and only gave instructions to the coachman.

Erya was very quiet along the way.

The car stopped after walking for a while, and Erya was pushed out of the car by the old nanny.

Unexpectedly, the old grandma is quite old, but she is very strong.

Getting off the carriage, Erya discovered that in front of her was not the high-rise compound she imagined, but a dark cave.

Grandma held Erya in one hand and the fire folding piece in the other, and walked towards the cave.

When we walked to a guarded stone gate, it was finally lit up because of the torches on both sides.

After blowing out the fire, the old woman threw Erya on the ground and respectfully asked the two men guarding the door.

"Young master, are you awake?"

"Yes, there is a commotion going on." A man whispered.

"The child you brought this time doesn't cry or make noises. Is there something wrong with his brain?" Another man asked.

He saw Erya lying on the ground, not struggling, just looking at a point in front of him, his eyes burning, and his heart was hairy.

Didn't you see something unclean?

"The young master doesn't like girls with brain problems."

"There must be no problem!" The old woman quickly assured her, "I'm just disheartened by being sold by my parents. . That’s good, it saves a lot of trouble.”< br>
At this time, the stone door opened, and a beautiful maid came out and said to the two men: "That's all, go in and clean up."

Turn to the old lady and say: "You go first Wait.”

"Yes, yes, but it depends on the girl's orders." The old woman's attitude towards the maid was even more respectful, and her face was full of flattery.

Soon after the two men guarding the gate came in, they came out dragging a cloth bag.

The cloth bags were not big, but they were bulging and oozing with blood. They were piled aside casually.

It turned out that the bag was not placed properly. Because the bottom was uneven, the bag fell to the side, and the mouth of the bag was open.

Erya, who was lying on the ground, was facing the mouth of the bag.

Under the weak firelight, she saw a pale face deep in the dark bag, with a pair of bright eyes looking at her.
