Xie Xinghua thought Erya was still worried about the compensation, so she comforted her again while cleaning up the dishes, telling her that justice was on their side and she didn't need to worry.

However, Erya's silence and sudden questioning made Xie Xinghua realize that her daughter's heart knot was far more than that.

"Where was Daya sold to?"

Erya's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting Xie Xinghua's heart.

It turned out that this was the reason why she was frowning.

Xie Xinghua hurriedly explained that Shen Qiang's words were pure fabrication. Daya was working for a wealthy family in Mucheng, and she promised to bring Erya to visit her sister next time.

These words were like a reassurance, finally letting Erya feel at ease.

Su Yu noticed that after experiencing today's series of events, Xier was tired of crying and soon fell asleep under her coaxing. Her occasional sobs were heartbreaking to hear.

She knew very well that the communication barriers between her and Xier could not continue, especially when faced with hurt and injustice, the unspeakable pain would be their common burden.

It was late at night, and Xie Xinghua looked at Erya who was sleeping soundly, feeling mixed emotions.

She realized that protecting the children was not only material satisfaction but also spiritual comfort.

The road ahead is still long. They need to be stronger and find ways to solve communication problems to make this home more warm and harmonious.

Jiang Ziling gently asked Su Yu about Daya's recent situation, his eyes full of concern.

Su Yu told him truthfully and in detail everything about Daya's recent life, including her subtle mood changes and small difficulties in life, without any reservation.

After hearing this, Jiang Ziling's brows flashed with a hint of contemplation, but he didn't say much.

His silence reflects his deep understanding of the current situation and his secret planning for the future.

He noticed the worry that inadvertently revealed between Su Yu's brows, and that faint sadness seemed to be eroding her usually gentle smile bit by bit.

So he moved gently and sat next to Su Yu, put his arms around her, and gave her silent support and comfort.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you afraid that Miao Qiaohua will cause trouble for us again?"

There was an imperceptible warmth in his words, like a spring breeze, trying to blow away the haze in Su Yu's heart.

Miao Qiaohua, the mother of Shen Qiang and Shen Kang, had already given Su Yu a preliminary impression of her from just a few words at the dinner table - a fierce and unreasonable person.

But this is not what Su Yu is really worried about. Everyone already has a plan on how to deal with San Ya's problem.

Su Yu snuggled in Jiang Ziling's arms, her eyes sparkling with maternal radiance. She whispered, "What I'm most worried about is Xier. She can neither speak nor communicate with us smoothly. This is not a long-term solution. I want to hire a teacher to teach her sign language, and we both have to learn it, so that we can enter her world."

These words reveal a mother's deep love and responsibility for her daughter.

After hearing this, Jiang Ziling's eyes flashed with approval. He tightened the hug to show his full support for this idea.

"What a great idea."

His voice was firm and warm. Although he had had this idea before, under the pressure of poverty and survival, it had to take priority.

Moreover, with so many people like us, where to find a teacher who knows sign language and whether they are willing to teach are all difficult problems.

The village they live in is closed and backward. The prosperity of the outside world seems incompatible with them. The lack of information makes this seemingly simple wish extremely distant.

Su Yu gently patted Jiang Ziling's hand, with a look of determination in her eyes: "I already have some ideas about the candidate, it's the mute grandmother I mentioned to you before. Her family communicates with her through sign language. Next time I find a chance to ask her, maybe she can give me some advice."

Jiang Ziling thought about it and suggested, "It would be best if we could find someone who is willing to teach us. It would be even better if we could invite him to our home to teach us in person."

But then, he frowned slightly, "The environment at home may not be suitable for teaching. Accommodation space is already tight. Although my sister-in-law's new house is about to be completed, it is difficult to provide a suitable teaching environment after the kitchen is vacated. Sign language teachers are different from ordinary workers. If I don't treat guests well, I am afraid I will be impolite to others."

Su Yu nodded in agreement, feeling helpless.

Given the current reality, it is impossible for the whole family to study away from home, and someone must stay at home to take care of the child.

Faced with the dilemma, she could only comfort herself: "Don't worry, this matter needs to be considered in the long run. I will go and check out the situation first."

Jiang Ziling stroked her hair and said gently, "Okay, everything is up to you."

At the same time, Shen Qiang and Shen Kang returned home and exaggerated their description of San Ya to the extreme.

When Miao Qiaohua saw her two sons with bruised faces and noses, she felt distressed and furious.

"This is really too bullying! Come with me, let's go and settle the score with her. How did Xie Xinghua educate her daughter? I must make her give an explanation!"

She ignored the crying baby in her arms and wanted to take the two children to find San Ya to argue, but was stopped in time by her husband Shen Wanfa.

Shen Wanfa is a clear-headed man. He knows the temperaments of his two sons very well, and he is also well aware of Miao Qiaohua's impulsiveness.

"What else do you want to say? Don't you know what kind of character your son is?"

He scolded, "They are lucky not to get into trouble. How could they be beaten for no reason? Besides, two grown boys can't even beat a girl, and you still have the nerve to come and complain? If you are not afraid of being embarrassed, just stay at home and don't go anywhere."

Shen Wanfa knew that if the quarrel continued, the feud between the two families would inevitably deepen.

Nowadays, Jiang Ziling's wife Su Yu has a good reputation in the village. The story of how she saved Aunt Li's life has long been spread among the neighbors, demonstrating her superb medical skills.

What's more, the sisters-in-law have been getting along well with each other recently. If they offend Xie Xinghua, it would be equivalent to losing Su Yu's favor, which would be an unwise move.

Although Miao Qiaohua has a hot temper, she also knows how to follow her husband's opinions.

She directed her anger at her sons, berating them for their incompetence.

"Look at your abilities. You can't even handle a little girl!"

In the past, these two boys always bullied others. They never expected that they would be in such a miserable state today. They were beaten and ran home crying, which made the two brothers feel very unwilling.

Shen Kang is still young and timid. He usually just blindly follows his brother in making trouble. Today he has learned a lesson. I am afraid he will stay away from San Ya in the future.

But Shen Qiang was different. He was born naughty and no one in the village had dared to confront him head-on. But today he suffered his first defeat, especially in front of his companions, he lost face.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would win back the next time he met San Ya.

The next morning, Su Yu invited Xie Xinghua to go up the mountain to pick wild fruits.
