YM778.TV Chapter 7 - 7 006: Final Awakening_1
A eunuch is a man without root.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Mu fell silent.
She had lived for so long, and it was her first time hearing about a real eunuch
Seeing Old Lady Mu silent, Li Shu continued: Mom, my cousin is also getting older. He is over fifty this year, which is somewhat older than Jinbao. What do you think about selling Yangyang over to him?
Li Shus words were intended to probe the position of Ni Yang in Mu Jinbaos and Old Lady Mus hearts.
Old Lady Mu said: We should sell! Of course, we should sell! Its 200 yuan! How could we miss this opportunity to fortune!
Mu Jinbao chipped in: Right, right, right! Mom is right. We cant miss this opportunity to fortune! Where is your cousin now? We have to send over this money-losing thing immediately! Its just wasting food at home every day and being an eyesore!
Compared with this money-losing thing and 200 yuan, of course, 200 yuan is more important!
What is a money-losing thing anyway?
Li Shu laughed and said: Alright, alright, alright, since you and Mom agree, Jinbao, we will visit my cousins house tomorrow. After all, its 200 yuan. My cousin will also come to see the person. Otherwise, he will not feel at ease.
Ni Yang squinted slightly.
I remember in my previous life, that old bachelor also came.
But at that time, Li Shu lied to her and said, this old bachelor was just visiting the family, and Ni Yang believed it.
She hated that she was not suspicious enough at that time.
Old Lady Mu chuckled: Its normal to check! Ill make that money-losing thing tidy up well tomorrow. We wont disappoint your cousin.
Li Shu nodded, Mom, youll have a lot of troubles then.
Old Lady Mu laughed: Whats there to worry about, Ashu, you are the one who has worked hard.
Li Shu followed, Mom, do you think Im really carrying a boy in my stomach?
Old Lady Mu replied: Of course its true! The immortal has said it. Would they be lying? Ashu, stay home and cultivate your fetus properly. Give birth to a boy for our Mu family as soon as possible!
Li Shu nodded shyly.
It had started raining outside unknowingly.
On Ni Cuihuas face, it was unclear whether the droplets were rain or tears.
She was deceived.
She was really deceived.
She was deceived so badly.
All these years, she served her in-laws and husband, took on the dirtiest and most tiring work at home, worked like an ox and a horse for the Mu family, did not resist against the beatings and never complained about anything.
Even if she was wearing the worst clothes and eating pig food, she never hated anyone!
But now, she was rewarded with such an outcome.
Boom
A thunderous sound echoed from the horizon, which was particularly terrifying.
Ni Cuihua looked up at the sky. Her body was so weak that she couldnt muster any strength.
What should she do?
What should she do now?
Her daughter is going to be sold.
Her husband betrayed her.
There is no place for her in this world.
Why is her life so sorrowful?
Ni Cuihua simply wanted to wail loudly.
Mom, are you okay? Ni Yang looked at Ni Cuihua, his clear and handsome face showed no expression, his calmness was beyond comprehension.
ImIm fine Ni Cuihua stuttered, biting her lower lip. Her face was terribly pale.
Ni Yang sighed, led Ni Cuihua to sit down under the firewood room, Mom, dont cry. A womans fate is in her own hands, crying wont solve anything.
Ni Cuihua hugged Ni Yang tightly and choked up: Yangyang, Im sorry, I failed you. Im not capable, I couldnt protect you! Im sorry, Im sorry!
Ni Cuihua cried her heart out.
Ni Yang patted Ni Cuihuas back gently, Mom, we cant stay in this home anymore, staying here only means death, lets get a divorce!
Divorce again.
But could she really get divorced?
She is a woman with two children. If she divorces, how will she live in the future?
And besides, a woman who divorces will be looked down upon.
After divorce, where would they go?
Ni Cuihua didnt know how to answer Ni Yang.
Without a man, how would they survive?
Even if it meant death, Ni Cuihua dared not divorce.
In this feudal era, convincing a woman to divorce is incredibly difficult.
Ni Yang continued, Mom, if you are unwilling to divorce, my younger sister will end up the same as me when she grows up. They will sell her to an eunuch. Afterward, Li Shu will be the mistress of this house, and there will be no place for us here, Mom, wake up!
An eunuch.
Her daughter would be sold to an eunuch.
Ni Cuihuas face turns pale.
This cannot happen.
She must protect her daughters, even at the cost of her own life, she must protect her two daughters.
Ni Cuihua stops crying, clutching a wooden stick tightly.
Looking at Ni Cuihuas emotional changes, Ni Yang sobbed, Mom, can I beg you? I really dont want to marry a eunuch, I really dont want to
Hearing Ni Yangs crying, Ni Cuihuas heart clenched painfully.
Yangyang, stop crying, stop crying. Ni Cuihua hugged Ni Yang, sobbing, Alright, Yangyang, Ill listen to you, Ill listen to you . . .
Hearing this, a faint smile appeared at the corners of Ni Yangs mouth, Mom, you must start to stand up from now on! Dont worry, I will take you and my younger sister away from here!
Under the night light, Ni Yangs attractive peach blossom eyes shone brightly, outshining all the stars in the sky.
It seemed like Ni Cuihua was seeing her daughter for the first time, and she nodded firmly.
**
With a crisp crowing of a rooster, the day broke in the blink of an eye.
The sun slowly rose from the east, and the air was filled with the fresh smell left after a rain.
Ni Cuihua was making breakfast in the kitchen.
This morning, the Mu family was not home, and the small kitchen was filled with the aroma of fried eggs in sesame oil, Yangyang.
Ni Cuihua waved at Ni Yang.
Mom. Ni Yang walked over.
Ni Cuihua scooped up two fried eggs from the pot, Eat these quickly.
After a night of thinking, Ni Cuihua had finally come to understand; she wouldnt be so foolish anymore.
Ni Yang smiled, Mom, what about you?
Ni Cuihua replied, Dont worry, Moms already eaten. These two are saved for you.
Although it was just two fried eggs, it was the most delicious thing Ni Cuihua had ever eaten. When she was with the Mu family, she could never even taste any meat.
Ni Yang nodded and ate both fried eggs.
After dinner, Ni Cuihua quickly washed the dishes, while Ni Yang went out.
Ni Cuihua was always honest and compliant, no one in the Mu family would ever find out that she had been eating eggs secretly.
Ni Yang didnt go out to play.
She had something much more important to do.
In her memory, a high-ranking official was visiting the countryside for inspection work with his secretary.
She could ask the official for help!
Ordinarily, Ni Yang should not remember the inspection work of such an official so vividly.
But because the official encountered bandits on the road, who ended up stabbing him a few times. Without immediate first aid, the official and his secretary died!
That incident created quite a commotion, causing panic among the people.
Ni Yang hurriedly walked down the path from her memory, and when she got to a dense thicket, she saw two figures sitting by the road.
There was a pool of blood on the ground.
One of them saw Ni Yang and weakly said, Little comrade, over here, over here!
