The best peasant woman

Chapter 38
But when passing by the west end of the village, I heard the miserable cries of the second sister-in-law Li Chahua beating the little girl A Xing with a whip.

"Mother, I... I'm hurting... Please... Please don't hit me! I didn't see anything... Woohoo..." Ah Xing's cry floated from the courtyard of the tile house.

Zhang Axiu felt strange when she heard the miserable cries, and thought to herself, could it be that Mrs. Li is abusing A Xing again?So she spoke to stop the donkey cart.

The driver of the donkey cart was anxious to go home, so he said he had to leave quickly or pay the money and get off the cart.

Zhang Axiu frowned, paid a penny, and let the donkey cart driver go first. She thought that it was not too late, and it would only be an hour before she walked back.

"Oh, second sister-in-law, are you beating A Xing? If our mother-in-law finds out, what do you think she will do to you?" Zhang Axiu leaned against the door frame with a smile, and said without going in. This word.

Li Shi was startled at first, then she walked out of the yard with a tiger face, hands on hips, and sneered. "This is my family's housework and you have nothing to do with it. Besides, Ah Xing is my daughter. It's not too much for a mother to discipline a daughter. It's a matter of course. You are here to mess around with me." what?"

"Third Aunt, help me, my mother beat me so badly!" A Xing was terrified. She still remembered that her mother would beat herself with a whip when she was wronged by her grandmother. Let her be angry at the Chen family.

"A Xing, why are you trembling? Your mother said that you were beaten by her, that's a matter of course, I... I'm just your third aunt, I don't seem to care about it." Zhang Axiu saw A Xing's black and white pair When a trace of fear flashed across her eyes, she sighed in her heart. It wasn't that she didn't want to take care of it, but that she couldn't help her now.

"Third aunt, I want to follow you to grandma's place, please help me, I kowtow to you!" A Xing knelt down towards Zhang Axiu with a plop.

Zhang Axiu approached and took a closer look, why did this little girl have such heavy welts on her face?Not to mention some hideous welt marks on the dry body under the tattered clothes.

A Xing didn't say anything at this time, but looked at Zhang Axiu with her eyes that were red from crying. Zhang Axiu thought to herself, how can such a vicious biological mother beat a child who is only three years old like that?
Ah Xing is in a hurry.Why is the third aunt still unwilling to help herself, so she climbed to Zhang Axiu's heels step by step, grabbed Zhang Axiu's skirt with her thin and slender hands, and shouted tearfully, "Third aunt, help me, take me with you!" I'm leaving, take me to find my grandmother... woo woo..."

"You stinky girl, it's fine if you don't work, and you still want to get involved with the lowly people, I really have a white-eyed wolf!" Xu Shi Li's voice was too loud, and the neighbors around came out to watch.

The neighbors are already familiar with it. It is common for Mrs. Li to beat her daughter. Poor A Xing was abused at a young age and was skinny and short. It made people feel sympathetic. It's okay, naturally I won't bother with this matter, it's all for after-dinner conversation.

Li Shi's whip lashed towards A Xing's face in a hurry, and bright red blood came out of her nose.Chen Erlang just came back from work, and when he saw his wife beating his daughter, he didn't say a word, and let her beat her daughter. Such a family made Zhang Axiu feel sorry for her, and he especially cherished that little girl, A Xing.

A Xing knew that if she didn't leave with her third aunt, what was waiting for her would be whip after whip, because she saw the fight between her mother and a man naked on the bed in the back room. It's very strange, why did the mother whip herself like that when she saw her appear?

"Third Aunt, please take me away! Please!" A Xing was really afraid of her mother's whipping and insulting, no, she yelled at Zhang Axiu pitifully, and kowtowed nonstop.

"You really want to go with me?" Zhang Axiu hesitated for a moment. Although she sympathized with A Xing, she didn't dare to take A Xing away, after all her parents were still there.

"Wow..." Seeing Zhang Axiu's refusal, Ah Xing simply burst into tears.

"What's there to cry about! Go to work for me!" Shi Li reached out and squeezed A Xing's ear, telling A Xing to go to work.

A Xing was unwilling, so she was punched and kicked by Li Shi. A Xing grinned in pain, opened her mouth angrily, bit the back of Li Shi's hand with her sharp teeth, and Li Shi hurriedly pushed A Xing away. "I raised you for nothing, get out, get out of here! Erlang, what are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and help me!"

"Father, don't hit me!" A Xing looked at Chen Erlang with frightened eyes. Chen Erlang is a patriarchal thing, so he pretended not to see A Xing's pitiful eyes, and slapped A Xing on the face. A Xing was pushed far away like a rag, but fortunately Zhang Axiu caught her.

"You...Are you still A Xing's biological parents? The child is only three years old, you will beat her to death!" Zhang Axiu knew that there was no law to protect minors in this era, and the child was beaten by his parents. It is only right and proper.

"Third aunt, my parents don't want me anymore, can you take me in? Third aunt, I know you are a good person, please help me..." A Xing held Zhang Axiu's hand and refused to let go.

"A Xing, her third aunt, you should take A Xing back for a few days. If A Xing stays here today, she might really be beaten to death. This Li family's method is very vicious!" Among the neighbors, there was a special sympathy for Ah Xing. When Xing encountered something, he immediately helped A Xing and pleaded with Zhang Axiu.

"This is my own!" The corners of Zhang Axiu's lips twitched, she looked up to see that it was getting late, and it was time to go back, but she had no intention of taking Axing away.

"This is your housework. I can't take care of it, and I can't take care of it. After all, A Xing is your biological daughter. I hope you don't beat her. She is only a three-year-old child. What big mistakes can be made! You can do it yourself. I'll go back first." Zhang Axiu weighed it up, he really didn't need to take care of other people's housework.

So she finished speaking, turned and left.

After walking for a while, I found that child A Xing was walking tremblingly and following her behind her.

"A Xing?" Zhang Axiu was taken aback, "You...why don't you stay at home?"

"Third Aunt, my mother doesn't want me anymore, and my father only listens to my mother, huh..." Ah Xing's tears and snot were all mixed together.

"Why are you crying like a little cat? Come on, let me go to the small river ditch and wash your face with water!" Zhang Axiu sighed, and took A Xing home first, and let her mother-in-law Xu take care of it. .

After Ah Xing followed Zhang Axiu to wash her face, Zhang Axiu tied her hair again and made it into two small buns, with bangs on her forehead, which looked very flattering.

"Ah Xing, why didn't you tell your grandmother the truth last time, and helped your mother to lie to your grandmother, you are obviously covered with scars." Zhang Axiu asked puzzled.
