Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Chapter 64 Father and daughter talk

However, the eldest sister, who was so gentle in nature, did not end up well. Instead, she was sold by Old Lady Lin to a notorious family in the next village for only one tael of silver.

"Dad, have you visited the eldest sister? Do you know what kind of life she led after getting married? The second sister went to visit secretly. She saw that the eldest sister was treated like an animal by that family. Not only did she have endless work to do every day, but she also had to endure beatings and scolding from that family at any time. Although she was alive, she looked like she was dying. She was so thin that she was out of shape. After the second sister came back, she secretly hid and cried for a long time. If I hadn't accidentally seen it, none of us would have known.

My eldest sister is living in purgatory alone, with no one to help her, no one to save her, and she is living a life worse than death, forever drowning in darkness without seeing the light. Dad, my eldest sister is a lesson for us. You don't agree with my approach, but can you bear to watch our family fall apart?

Dad, I know you are a filial person at heart. You also hope that we can be filial to grandpa and grandma, and be friendly and respectful to the uncles and cousins ​​in the old house. However, you treat them as family members, but do they treat us as family members? "

Lin Xiaoyue paused, as if trying to suppress her inner excitement, but in fact she was secretly observing Old Man Lin's reaction with the corner of her eye.

When talking about his eldest daughter, Old Man Lin couldn't help but clench his hands hanging at his sides into fists, and as Lin Xiaoyue's accusations continued, the veins in his fists tightened little by little, and they became visible.

Lin Xiaoyue could sense the unrest in Old Man Lin's heart, so her next words would be more likely to ease Old Man Lin's heart knot.

In the eyes of the people in the old house, we are just free servants they can use, and they can beat and scold us at will. You have experienced what we lived like before the separation, but can you change it? Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about the future. In the future, we may have to face the road of fleeing famine, climbing mountains and wading through rivers. If we still live like before, under the arbitrary beatings and scoldings of those people in the old house, any food in our family will definitely be looted, and how much can they leave for us to eat?

It wouldn't matter if mother, my second sister and I all died, but the fourth and fifth children are still so young, they haven't grown up yet, can you bear to let them suffer and die at such a young age?

Dad, please think about this carefully.

Let's talk about our current life. Although we have food to eat and even clothes to wear, I risked my life to get it.

Yesterday, my second sister, the fourth and fifth children and I were in the mountains. We encountered not only a big brown bear, but also a tiger. If we had been less lucky, you might have lost several of us children yesterday. How could you have the leisure to talk here?

However, if the previous marriage cannot be broken off, it would be better to die in the mouth of a wild beast than in the hands of those people in the old house. It would be more straightforward and clean. "

Lin Xiaoyue's words shocked Lin Laosan, as if he was struck by lightning.

He didn't expect that besides the second girl, the usually taciturn third girl also thought so. Did Miao and the fourth and fifth girls have the same idea?

Thinking of this, Old Man Lin couldn't help but feel flustered.

Lin Xiaoyue sniffed and choked, laughed at herself, held her head high and stubbornly refused to let the tears fall from the corners of her eyes, raised her hand and wiped them roughly with her sleeve.

Oscar●Lin Xiaoyue was in full acting form, devoting herself wholeheartedly to an unprecedented passionate performance.

Life is like a play and it all depends on your acting skills..., she has it so hard!

"Dad, the people over there in the old house are all healthy and strong. As long as they are willing to work, their labor force is many times stronger than ours. Why would they cling to us like leeches and suck our last drop of blood to survive?

We are not saying that filial piety is wrong, nor are we trying to stop you from doing so, but we also want to live!

We just hope that while you are fulfilling your filial duties, you can also consider mother and us sisters, okay?

Do you, like my grandparents, think that because we are all girls, we are born with an inferior fate and deserve to be sold?

Dad, we are your children too! We are your and mom’s own flesh and blood!

Can you take a look at us?

Besides, if you want to be filial, that's fine, but the premise is that we, mother and daughter, are alive and well, and there is still enough food at home. We should be filial to our grandparents! But I don't think we have the obligation to be filial to our uncles. That's the obligation of my cousins. Do you think what I said is right?"

After listening to Lin Xiaoyue's words, Old Man Lin became distraught. He lowered his head weakly, drooped his thin shoulders, covered his face with his hands, and fell into a long silence.

Finally, Father Lin raised his head, sighed deeply, turned around, and said to Lin Xiaoyue sadly, "Sanya, it was Daddy's fault before!"

For the first time, the father and daughter sat down to discuss the breakup. They sat in the backyard for a long time and talked a lot. Until noon, Lin's mother and the little girls in the front yard became more and more uneasy. The straightforward Lin Zhaodi almost couldn't help but run to the backyard to peek.

In the end, it was Lin's mother who suppressed the impulsive Lin Zhaodi and dragged a few maids to the table. After a long time of coaxing and tricking them, they finally sat down. However, no one picked up their chopsticks, and breakfast was delayed until lunch. Everyone's stomach was growling with hunger, but no one had the appetite to eat.

Finally, after hearing loud protests from Lin Xiaoyue's stomach, Old Man Lin finally regained his focus, patted his legs, stood up with difficulty using his crutches, and limped back to the front yard.

Just when Lin Xiaoyue was freed from the gloomy atmosphere and was about to wipe the non-existent cold sweat from her forehead, Father Lin paused and said in a low voice, "Girl, let's go see your elder sister together!"

Lin Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses, smiled and stepped forward to support Lin Lao's arm and responded, "Okay, Dad, we will go together then, and call my second sister too."

……

The father and daughter returned to the front yard peacefully, which made the mother and daughter who were waiting in the front yard, as anxious as ants on a hot pan, finally put their minds at ease.

While Old Man Lin wasn't paying attention, Lin Xiaoyue quietly winked at Mother Lin and Lin Zhaodi, and used her mouth to signal to them that everything was fine. Only then did Mother Lin and her sisters breathe a sigh of relief.

After relaxing, everyone's stomachs began to protest louder and louder. Mother Lin blushed and hurriedly turned into the kitchen to bring out the breakfast that was warm on the stove.

Old Man Lin pursed his lips, then followed Mother Lin into the kitchen.

Lin Zhaodi and the two little kids wanted to go in to help, but were stopped by Lin Xiaoyue.
