Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 142 Qian Jin's Tragic Childhood

Speaking of her tragic childhood, Wang Yao couldn't help laughing bitterly:

"At that time, I was only six years old, and the prostitute locked me in a small dark room. There were many rats in it, and my red eyes looked particularly creepy in the dark."

"No matter how much I cry, it's useless. They throw me a rotten steamed bun every day. That's my food for a day. However, before I eat it, the rats swarm in and snatch it away."

"Later, after three days without food, I was starved and fainted. I thought I was going to die, but a sharp pain woke me up. I saw densely packed mice crawling on my feet, gnawing on my toes!"

Speaking of this, Wang Yao was trembling all over.

"I screamed desperately and beat those damn mice hard. Finally, I killed them all. However, my little toe was still eaten by them."

Wang Yao's face was as pale as paper, her face was covered with tears, and her lips were trembling.

Seeing Wang Yao's appearance like this, Lin Xiao was shocked.

She didn't expect that a noble and elegant prime minister like Wang Yao would have such a miserable childhood, and she couldn't help feeling pity for her.

She patted Wang Yao's shoulder and said softly:

"it's already over."

"Has it passed? My feet will never pass!"

Wang Yao's eyes revealed a kind of madness, her fists were clenched tightly, her nails were deep in her flesh but she didn't realize it, she wished that all those who harmed her would be torn to pieces.

Even though they had already died by her hands, it was still not enough to vent their anger!

"Later, cousin Zhao Xiao found me. He was only in his teens at the time. After being discovered by Yamaozi's thugs, they beat and kicked him. He held me tightly in his arms. Fist landed on his back, and he didn't say a word."

"It wasn't until the toothmaid's thugs left that he fell down. His body was covered in blood, as were his legs. He had lost consciousness and was lying in a pool of blood..."

Wang Yao choked with sobs, her eyes were already filled with tears, but she resisted not to shed them.

"I hate traffickers too!"

"Have you been kidnapped before?"

Lin Xiao shook his head:
"Although I have never been trafficked, I hate their evil deeds!"

How many beautiful families have been torn apart by human traffickers?
How many women who should have had a good life have lost themselves because of them and become tools to carry on the family line?
How many young people with strong bodies lost their organs because of them, and were finally discarded in the corner like garbage?
The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the more excited she became. She clenched her fists, and hatred shot out of her eyes.

If possible, after Li Yuxuan comes back, she must persuade him to advise the emperor and promulgate a law specifically targeting human traffickers:
"Anyone who participates in the trading of human beings and those who do not report the knowledge will be implicated in the nine clans and will be killed without mercy!"

When they came to Ai Lu Shi, Lin Xiao and Wang Yao learned from Xiao Cai, the guy who took care of Zhang Yue, that Zuixiang Building was completely burned down!
"what!?"

Lin Xiao and Wang Yao's eyes widened after hearing Xiao Cai's description, and they looked at Xiao Cai in disbelief and asked:

"You mean, you saw those people burned to ashes with your own eyes?"

"Yeah, I thought that the eldest lady was sold to Zuixiang Tower, so I went there to find out."

Xiao Cai nodded quickly, looked at Lin Xiao and Wang Yao with lingering fear and said:
"I saw that not long after you came out, the Zuixiang Building caught fire, and no one escaped!"

While talking, Xiao Cai wiped the forehead of Zhang Yue, who was already fainting from crying:

"I don't know where the eldest lady has gone, so far there is no letter!"

Seeing that Zhang Yue's face was covered with scars and still unconscious, Lin Xiao and Wang Yao couldn't help sighing.

At this time, a guard ran over with a serious expression:

"Miss, a letter from the governor, saying that a girl's body was found in the moat..."

"what!?"

Hearing what the guards said, Lin Xiao and Wang Yao's expressions darkened.

"Zhouzhou! My child!"

Not knowing whether it was telepathy or some other reason, Zhang Yue, who was originally in a coma, suddenly woke up and opened her eyes.

She sat up from the bed at once, with tears in her eyes, and the shadow of Xiao Zhouzhou appeared in her mind.

Her tears could not be stopped again.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao felt a little uncomfortable:
"Sister Xiaoyue, the governor said that a girl's body was found in the moat..."

"what!?"

Zhang Yue suddenly grabbed Lin Xiao's arm, and said with tears in his eyes:
"You take me there, take me there!"

Seeing Zhang Yue's appearance, Lin Xiao couldn't help feeling very uncomfortable. She stretched out her hand to help Zhang Yue wipe away the tears from his face, and said softly:
"Sister Xiaoyue, don't worry, I believe it's not Xiao Zhouzhou, she is blessed with great fortune..."

Before Lin Xiao could finish her comforting words, Zhang Yue ran towards the moat without even wearing shoes!
Lin Xiao looked at Zhang Yue's anxious back, and followed closely behind.

She wants to accompany Zhang Yue, she really can't worry about her!

The same is true for Wang Yao, her speed is no slower than Zhang Yue, and she is closely behind.

The three of them galloped all the way and soon arrived at the moat.

"Miss, this is it!"

The guard pointed to the moat not far away and said.

There were three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounded by crowds of onlookers.

The governor and government servants were among the crowd.

Seeing Wang Yao and others coming, he quickly separated the crowd and left a way.

Fu Yin stepped forward and bowed his hands to Wang Yao:

"Miss, I have sent someone to salvage the girl, please follow me."

On the bank of the moat, under a white cloth lay a small corpse.

Seeing the corpse, Zhang Yue opened his mouth, but didn't shout out, but the tears fell uncontrollably!

She rushed forward, but hesitated to lift the white cloth.

"Sister Xiaoyue, how about I come."

Seeing Zhang Yue's appearance, Lin Xiao felt very uncomfortable.

"No need! I brought Zhou Zhou to this world, and I should send her away with my own hands."

Zhang Yue stopped Lin Xiao, then stretched out her jade hand tremblingly and lifted the white cloth.

When she saw the face of the corpse, her hanging heart fell instantly, she sat down on the ground, and kept muttering to herself:
"Great, it's not Xiao Zhouzhou...not Xiao Zhouzhou..."

But soon she was overwhelmed by grief again.

Although the girl lying under the white cloth was not Xiao Zhouzhou, she was about the same age as Xiao Zhouzhou. She died at a young age. How sad her parents should be!
A young woman rushed in from the crowd, lifted the white cloth, and after seeing the girl's face clearly, she lay on the girl's body and cried loudly:

"My son! Why did you leave your mother so cruelly! How will you let your mother live in the future!"

Everyone just watched the woman's heartbroken weeping quietly.

At this moment, everyone present felt equally heavy.
