Chapter 72
Looking at the girl like this, Xuancao hesitated and asked, " By the way, I don't know what your name is?"
"I, my name is Chen Ting." The girl said, smiled, and then looked at the stove in front of her.
"Do you come here often?"
"Well, if I was beaten by my parents at home and there is no place to go, I will come here. We don't have many hunters here, so there are still few people here. Chen Ting said, still looking at the stove in front of her, as if she was focusing on boiling water. Looking at Chen Ting like this, Xuancao sighed and didn't know what to say.
After a while, the water boiled. She grabbed two tea-like things from somewhere, then put them in and boiled them for a while before giving them two to drink.
"I picked this tea by myself on the mountain and didn't make it much, but I think it tastes good. You can try it." As she said, there was some satisfaction on her face. Looking at her like this, Xuancao took the bowl and took a sip. The taste is not bad, so I nodded: "It tastes good. I think the things here are very complete. Are you all prepared?"
"No, some of them are already here. In the past, if it was said that after the heavy snow, there would be special hunters guarding here, but later no one cared about it, and no one came. After I found it, I saved some money from time to time and prepared something to put it in. She said with a little pride on her face. But when I saw the bowl held by Xuancao and Brother Xiaobai in their hands, I sighed a little: "Although that's right, I didn't expect to invite people here one day. I didn't prepare a teacup. I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter. This feeling is not bad." Xuancao said, then looked at her stomach and asked hesitantly, "Although I know it's not good to ask, your stomach... I don't think you look like the kind of person who makes trouble outside. How come?"
"I don't know who the child in my stomach is. The head of the family forced me to marry the mayor's stupid son, so I casually pulled a passer-by under this mountain and gave myself to him. But I didn't expect to be pregnant. I can't resist the family, but when the mayor hired me, my stomach was already big, which is also a big mouth for the mayor. As she said, there was really some joy in her eyes. Looking at her like this, Xuancao was stunned. She really didn't expect it to be like this. She thought she could still hear an affectionate story!
"The mayor lost face and was naturally unhappy. He asked me who the child was, and I said I didn't know. So, he was going to catch me and soak me in a pig cage. I'm not afraid. I have children with me, and I'm not afraid to go anywhere!" As she spoke, her eyes were extremely firm, and her hands touched her stomach from time to time. Xuancao looked at her like this, stunned, and then said, "Don't you think it will be very hard?"
"Hard work?" Chen Ting laughed.
"I have two younger brothers in my family. Since I was about four years old, I have been with my eldest brother, and then when I take my eldest brother, I have to be responsible for all the housework, washing dishes and clothes. Of course, cooking is not allowed. I was too young at that time. After I had two younger brothers at the age of six, cooking was also my business. Although it was not high enough, it was okay to pad bricks. Later, I grew up with my brothers, and when my brothers grew up, I had more work. Because I not only want my parents to be happy, but also to make my brothers happy, otherwise I will be beaten. Later, I will go out to do small work and keep working on embroidery. My parents said that I am losing money, so I will try to do more so that they can earn more money back.
Xuancao listened to Chen Ting's almost dull words, and her heart was like a knife cut.
"In the end, my parents found that I was quite good-looking and wanted to sell me. Just in time, the fool in the mayor's house met me and said he wanted me. The mayor paid a high price to buy it. The family and the mayor immediately got along with each other and began to combine the eight characters. They were ready to make a final order. After I knew about this, I began to resist. When she said this, she looked at Xuancao and seemed to want to see what Xuancao thought about her behavior.
"Don't you regret doing this?" Xuancao lasted for a long time, but finally only said such a sentence.
"Of course, I don't regret it. This is my own choice. And I absolutely didn't expect that God would give me such a baby this time. She spoke, stroking her stomach. Looking at her appearance, Xuancao sighed and didn't know what to say. This girl has been suppressed by her family for too long, and it is not surprising that she has done such a thing.
"The mayor wants to dip you in a pig cage. Did you say that your family didn't stop it?"
"Of course, they have stopped me. They think that even if I am pregnant, it is easy to find a second marriage. But the mayor felt ashamed and threw money to buy them my life, so my life was naturally bought. As she spoke, the smile on her face was very quiet.
Looking at her appearance, Xuancao didn't know what to say. Because no matter what she does, it seems that what awaits her is an unfortunate future. Although she doesn't know what will happen when she marries the mayor's stupid son, she will never get better. But she herself obviously chose a more bumpy road.
Thinking of this, Xuancao sighed.
At this time, Chen Ting smiled and said, "Do you want to ask why I don't run out? Even if someone in this town binds me and takes care of me, I can also run to other places!"
Xuancao was stunned when she heard Chen Ting's words. She did think about this problem.
"Our household registration is all in the town, and I'm still a woman. Although we are not far from the capital, there are still three or four hundred miles away, but the public security is reasonable. But there are people on the road, and I'm not sure that everyone I meet on the road is a good person. So in my heart, my current end is the best. Because you saved me and my children." As she spoke, she lowered her head and stroked her stomach, with tenderness in her eyes. Looking at this girl, Xuancao sighed, bit her lip or asked, "So what are you going to do in the future?"
"In the future?" Chen Ting obviously didn't think about it. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes and stroked her stomach, as if she was also very confused about her future. Looking at her, Xuancao nodded and said realistically, "What are you going to do after we leave? What will you do when your child grows up? Can you tell him that you gave birth to him in a moment of revenge?"
