Chapter 167 How to Help
Lin Yiwan's mother looked at Wen Xi and Lin Yiwan deeply, "You two must remember her lesson. Don't do anything with a man before you get a marriage certificate, otherwise you will suffer. Men can be afraid to leave, but women can't."
Lin Yiwan traveled from the 21st century. She didn't care about this kind of thing, but she didn't want to argue with her traditional mother, so she nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry! I won't have anything to do with the other party before we get married."
Wen Xi also nodded gratefully, "Thank you for the reminder, Auntie. I will learn from the lesson and protect myself in the future."
This society is more harsh on women. Both men and women can commit the same crime, but only women are blamed and never men. In the end, the bitter consequences are borne by women alone.
Qian Chenggong married someone else and had four children, both a son and a daughter. Nothing happened to him. He probably has long forgotten the woman who gave birth to a daughter for him.
However, Donghua's mother was separated from her daughter. After she got married, people would find out on her wedding night that her daughter was not the original one. After all, people who had given birth to children were a little different, and men could tell. Maybe her husband would dislike her and beat and scold her at every turn, or maybe her husband would take revenge on her and find someone else outside...
All these misfortunes were caused by the fact that when she was dating Qian Chenggong, before they got married, she gave herself to him and gave birth to a child.
Times have changed and people’s thoughts are different. No one in this era can accept such a thing.
"Aunt, thank you. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first." After having a brief understanding of Donghua's situation, Wen Xi bid farewell to Lin Yiwan and her mother.
Besides, everyone has finished work and will be back for dinner soon. She can't stay at Lin Yiwan's house!
When they arrived at the door of the house, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue had just returned, and then the three of them went in together.
While eating, seeing Wen Xi looking worried, Shen Jiaojiao asked worriedly, "Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Wen Xi shook her head and lowered her head to eat. She didn't say much about Donghua because she hadn't thought of a good solution yet.
It would be fine if she hadn't encountered it, but she happened to encounter it, and it was the system that asked her to save Donghua, so she naturally couldn't ignore it.
As for how to take care of her, she hasn't figured it out yet. As for adopting Donghua, forget it. She is still a child herself, and she has too many secrets. She is not suitable to live with others.
Now that there are no bamboo shoots to break, Wen Xi asks Shen Jiaojiao, Jiang Yue, Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui to pick snails for her. However, snails have more shells than meat, and only one pound of meat can be produced from five pounds of snails. If they are dried, only half a pound will be left, so the price of snails is two cents per pound.
Although the price is low, the quantity is large, so the four of them can still make money.
Picking up snails in rice fields and canals every day would certainly seem strange to everyone, so Wenxi asked them to tell others that they were picking up snails to feed the chickens. After all, their family raised chickens and their demand for food was quite large, so it made sense to crush the snails and feed them to the chickens.
Anyway, just don't tell the truth to everyone.
It was already very hot at noon and not suitable to go out, so Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue did not go out at noon, but went out to pick snails in the morning and evening.
But Wen Xi was worried about Dong Hua who was alone in the mountains, so when Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue went back to their room to rest, she slipped into the system kitchen, cooked a pot of rice porridge, took out a portion in a lunch box, peeled an egg and put it in, stirring the egg evenly with a spoon. In this way, a bowl of egg porridge was ready.
There is a time difference between the system kitchen and the outside world, so when Wen Xi goes in for a few minutes, a long time has passed inside.
After that, Wenxi went out with the basket.
When I arrived at the place where I met Donghua, I saw that Donghua was still leaning there, but her condition was much better than before, and she was no longer as lifeless as before.
Wen Xi handed the egg porridge and a spoon to Donghua. Donghua must have never had a full meal before, and she was almost starving to death just now. Now she couldn't eat anything else but rice porridge.
Moreover, rice porridge is not a good thing that every family can eat!
Wenxi doesn't know how to help Donghua now, because she lives with her grandparents now, and her father and stepmother don't care about her. If Wenxi gives her something, it will definitely fall into the hands of Donghua's grandparents, or her half-brothers and sisters. Those people have nothing to do with Wenxi, and Wenxi doesn't want to provide them with any help.
"Donghua, I heard that you live with your grandparents now. Do you want to live with them in the future?" If anyone wants to help Donghua, she must leave that family, otherwise it will be useless for anyone to help her.
Because whether it is supplies or food, they will be taken away by her family and it will not be her turn.
Looking at Donghua's skinny appearance, you can tell that she can't even get enough coarse grains at home, let alone enough water to eat. Generally, no matter how poor a family is, everyone can get enough water to eat.
When Donghua heard this, her hands holding the spoon began to tremble, and her eyes soon filled with tears. "Sister, I don't want to go home. My grandfather always stares at me with scary eyes. When my grandmother is a little unhappy, she beats me with a broom and scolds me. She doesn't give me food and only lets me eat one small sweet potato a day. They also make me sleep on the floor of the woodshed and don't give me a bath..."
Wen Xi lifted up Dong Hua's tattered sleeves in surprise, and saw black and blue spots on her arms. A strong anger flashed in her eyes, and she wished she could torture the old couple to death.
They are a family that is not worthy of being human beings.
The mother had already given birth to the child, but they insisted on separating them. Now they are treating the child like this. Since they can't accept her, why didn't they let the mother raise the child herself?
If a child lives with his mother, even if life is hard, he will not suffer these pains. Even if he has to go out to beg, it is still better than living with his grandparents, father and stepmother who have no feelings for him!
Wen Xi sighed helplessly, "Donghua, you still have to go back tonight. Otherwise, they will be even angrier when they see you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and they will definitely beat you even harder. If you go back today and they beat you, run to Captain Qian's house and tell Captain Qian everything they did to you..."
"After you finish eating, hide the lunch box in the grass. I will come to get it tomorrow. Wait for me under the big tree at the entrance of the village before dawn tomorrow morning." Wen Xi said this and turned and left.
