Chapter 30 Powerless
During the whole process, Tian Xiaohua remained numb, occasionally shivering because of the temperature of the water and the wounds on her body.

After bathing her, Jiang Yan went to find a set of Jiang Yu's childhood clothes to change for the child, and then carried the little girl to the warm kang.

The two sisters served the meal, and the family gathered at the dining table to finish the meal. They also served a bowl of sweet potato porridge for the girl, and stuffed a small piece of steamed bun into her hand. They usually soak the steamed bun in the porridge. Eat, easy to swallow.

Tian Xiaohua must have been freezing outside for a long time, and the child was so thin that his ribs could be seen, holding the cornbread at this time, he looked at Sister Jiang Yan timidly, and then lowered his head like a little leopard. Head gobbled it up.

Jiang Yu took pity on her, poured her a glass of warm water, and softly persuaded her to eat slowly.

It is absolutely impossible to keep her overnight at night, and she has to be sent back to Tian's house.

She still has parents, no matter what, she really can't watch this child starve to death, otherwise she will be reported and the adults of the Tian family will have to go to jail.

Jiang Yan usually cooks a lot of food, which is enough for three people in the family to eat. Tonight, with this extra child, both Jiang Yu and Jiang Yan are half full. Fortunately, it is at night, so eating less will not affect the body.

After dinner, Jiang Yan looked at the little girl in front of her and said to her, "Come on, put on your clothes, and my sister will take you home."

Tian Xiaohua's whole body trembled a few times, and she shrank into the kang resistively, but after a few seconds, she still obediently moved to the side of the kang.

She knew it wasn't her words, so she couldn't stay here, but today, because she was so hungry, she secretly took a piece of raw sweet potato from home and gnawed on it. Grandma saw her, and then she was beaten severely. She couldn't resist, she ran out of the house in a mess, and she could hear grandma yelling and scolding all the way.

The little girl thought, she would definitely go back home, anyway, the two older sisters of the Jiang family gave her a full meal, and she would definitely be able to bear it if she was beaten again this time, after all, she was used to it, right?

Jiang Yan wanted to send Tian Xiaohua back alone, but Jiang Yu was not at ease. She had been in Hexi Commune for half a year, and she knew the Tian family's style and comments very well. The villagers kept cooking leftovers only thinking about the Tian family, because the old lady of the Tian family kept scolding 365 days a year.

Her elder sister is a gentle girl who doesn't like gossip, if the old lady of the Tian family really picks a fault, her elder sister can't handle it.

In this day and age, the child protection law does not exist yet, and it will not be enacted until more than ten years later. Therefore, even if parents beat their children, as long as they can’t be beaten to death, the neighbors and villagers will be fine. What is pursued these days is stick education. But this "stick" mostly greets girls.

Jiang Yu wanted to use the law to restrain Mrs. Tian from beating her granddaughter, but it was obviously not feasible.

Holding Tian Xiaohua's hand, which was rough like a six-year-old child, she was quite emotional, it is not easy to fill her stomach now, and the world is unstable, who has the energy to take care of this little girl.

"Little Hua!" She looked down at the small figure beside her in the dark wind and snow, "In the future when your parents and grandma beat you, you should stay away, and maybe you won't have to be beaten when their anger subsides. Little girl has a bad temper. You have to learn to be gentle, and don't hold on when it's time to cry..."

She was chatting with the little girl, and she didn't know if she could understand it or listen to it, but she always felt that the little girl was a little precocious, and she could understand a lot of things, but she didn't like to respond to others. .

Looking at the door of Tian's house from a distance, you can still see the faint light inside.

In the countryside in the 70s, almost no lighting was used, even in the county towns, there were very few people who could use lighting. This was not popularized until the 80s, and there was always a power cut from time to time, usually at a fixed point for you broken.

Nowadays, every household lights oil lamps, which is also economical. Therefore, there is almost no entertainment at night in the countryside, and the only thing left is to turn off the lights and have children. Unless they are not in good health, every household has at least two or three children, and there are many. Eight or nine.

Regarding the situation in the Hexi Commune, Jiang Yu had nothing to do before, and the average family had four children, and the Tian family was on this average.

If Tian's daughter-in-law hadn't injured her body when she gave birth to her son, she might have continued to give birth.

Sending the little girl to the door, Jiang Yan let her in with a gentle voice.

Tian Xiaohua stood at the door for half a minute before stepping forward to open the door and go in.

Jiang Yan and Jiang Yu saw the door closed in front of them and heard the sound of the latch inside, so they turned and went home in peace.

At night, the wind and snow are even stronger, blowing on people's faces like knives, the icy cold is accompanied by snowflakes, and the cut cheeks hurt, it is better to go home quickly.

For Tian Xiaohua, Jiang Yu was already helping Tian Xiaohua to the maximum extent, and she couldn't do anything more.

The Tian family didn't offend her own family, so she naturally wouldn't get involved in it, and if she tried to intervene in this matter, it would be unreasonable in the eyes of others. After all, no one else has the right to interfere when beating her own child. The consensus of many people in this era.

In particular, their family only had enough food and clothing at present, so they couldn't afford to support one more child. Moreover, Tian Xiaohua was not an orphan.

The little girl will definitely be beaten when she returns home. The two sisters know this very well, but because they know it, they are even more helpless.

Jiang Yu only hoped that Tian Xiaohua could listen to what she said just now, as time went on, she would be beaten less, and it was almost impossible not to be beaten at all.

She found out that when many parents in the commune feel uncomfortable, they can always use the harshest attitude to find the thorns in the children at home, in order to find a reason to beat the children, so as to vent their inner anger.

The vast majority of those who were beaten were girls.

Seeing the messy wounds on Tian Xiaohua's body before, she even wanted the little girl to go home and give that old lady Tian a knife.

Even if the little girl has no father or mother, it is better than being reincarnated into this animal-like parents.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Yan asked with a sigh of relief when her sister was not seen speaking halfway.

"I was thinking, when Xiaohua returns home, a beating is unavoidable, but outsiders can't do anything about it." Jiang Yu blew two breaths forcefully, "The leader said that women can hold up half the sky, but this year's appointment, the girl still can't help it." It is taken seriously. Our commune is considered good, at least there is no mutilation of female infants, I heard that many remote mountainous areas are even more insane, and all girls will be killed directly after birth."

Think about Tian Xiaohua, even though she was born, she is living in hell, she really doesn't know when she will end up.

If she was reborn on Tian Xiaohua's body, she would definitely make the Tian family couple and Mrs. Tian cry, and if she didn't toss the three of them out of their insanity, she would be considered a loser.
