"Mother, mother..."

A soft and sticky cry drifted to Shu He's ears. The terrified call was helpless and desperate. The drowsy woman felt a sour and anxious feeling in her heart. She wanted to open her eyes, but her body felt like it was not her own and she couldn't control it no matter what...

"Mom, wake up, wake up, I'm scared..."

The little girl, covered in mud, was skinny and had messy hair. Her fleshless face was filled with fear and helplessness. She gently shook the woman in front of her whose face was covered in blood, and there was a hint of sluggishness in her big eyes.

The little girl's cries made Shu He's heart ache. She suddenly opened her eyes, and a white mist flashed before her eyes. Gradually, in addition to the little girl's cries, a group of chattering sounds also surged towards her.

"You bitch! Get up now! Stop pretending to be dead! There's work in the village waiting for you to do!"

A sharp and vicious voice sounded above Shu He's head, and then she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She was kicked hard, and she was caught off guard and felt that her internal organs were displaced by the kick!

"Don't hit my mother, ma'am, please, don't hit my mother, it hurts..."

Shu He curled up, clutching her belly. Her eyes were red and sore. She didn't know if it was from the pain or the little girl's crying. She wanted to get up, but her body was completely out of control...

"And you, you little bitch! I'm so grateful that I can tolerate your shameless mother taking you with her! But how are you repaying me? You dare to seduce the master just because you have some looks! What? You want to climb over my head and become my mistress, so you can be a lady from a noble family?!"

The poor little guy couldn't understand the woman's vicious words at all. He only knew to do his best to protect the woman who was beaten and covered in blood and unable to move.

"Madam, please don't hit me. I can work. I will work for you..."

The girl's miserable cries were heard outside the courtyard gate, where a group of onlookers stopped and watched: "Is this old lady Chen torturing us again?"

"That's right. Look, he's been beaten until his head is covered in blood. I don't know if he can survive..."

"Poor little girl, she looks like she's less than three years old. She's so thin that she can't even walk steadily..."

"Mrs. Chen is so cruel! How could she treat a child like this..."

Overhearing the discussions outside, Mrs. Chen immediately lost her composure. She placed her hands on her hips and shouted at the crowd outside the backyard gate, "What do you all know? This little bitch gave birth to a bastard child of unknown origin before she even got married. Do you think she's from a good family?"

"Not only did she give birth to a bastard, she even tried to seduce the head of my family!! If I gave this restless little bitch to your family, would you give her a hard time?"

After the woman finished speaking, a young girl wearing a bright and thick coat came out from beside her and echoed with a look of dissatisfaction, "That's right! My mother has done me a great favor by taking these mother and daughter in, and you actually say bad things about her! I think you are just blinded by greed and blinded by sesame seeds! You are blind in heart and eyes!"

Everyone smirked and said nothing more. They all knew that the Chen family mother and daughter were not to be trifled with, and they didn't want to be the first to meddle in other people's business, lest they end up getting into trouble instead of getting caught!

"Why are you crying? No one has died in my family yet! Is it your turn to mourn?!"

Mrs. Chen was very annoyed by the girl's crying and subconsciously kicked the little girl.

The little girl's frail frame was already weak, and the kick sent her flying over half a meter. Her exhausted body stiffened, and even her cries were inaudible. Her eyes, once fluttering, now struggled feebly, and large tears fell drop by drop...

"Mother, mother..."

"Cry, cry, cry, you're so noisy! If you cry again, I'll throw you into the mountains to feed the wild dogs!!" the woman cursed angrily, her eyes full of disgust and impatience.

If it weren't for this farm, she would have gotten rid of the mother and daughter long ago!

Shu He's vision cleared at this moment, and what came into view was the dying appearance of the little girl. A surge of anger and hatred surged in her heart, but she was helpless and still couldn't control her body. At this moment, countless memories flooded into her mind, causing her brain to shut down...

"Ouch!!"

"You! How could you be so cruel to a child..."

When the people outside the door saw this scene, they were heartbroken by the girl's miserable appearance. After all, she was just a little girl of a few years old. If it was their own child, they would be heartbroken!

"Why are you so anxious? This is my farm, and my servants. My mother can treat them however she wants! You bunch of gossipers, shut up!"

Chen Xiaohe's sarcastic and mean look seemed like a replica of that woman.

"No matter what, those are two lives. Mrs. Chen, if you really don't like them, just send them away. Why do you have to take their lives?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman in simple clothes. She was carrying a basket in her hand and had a look of pity on her face.

"I can do whatever I want! Once you enter the Chen family and become a slave, your life belongs to the Chen family! I'm teaching my own slaves a lesson, so do you have the right to point fingers at me?!"

……

The noise was still going on inside and outside the door, but Shu He was already fully awake.

She has come back!

After 30 years, she is finally back!!

Her sight fell on the dying little girl not far away, and her eyes trembled: "Yier!"

She wanted to stand up and pick up the little girl, but her knees gave way and she fell to the ground again. She stumbled and stumbled, and finally regained full control of her body. She held the dying girl in her arms, her heart breaking. "Xiao Yi'er? Wake up, mother is here, mother is here!"

The little girl's thin body looked so light that she probably weighed only a dozen pounds.

Xiao Yi'er was gently patted on the face, and as if she felt the unique warmth of her mother, she tried hard to open her eyes. It was her mother!

"Mom, don't cry..." The girl reached out her hand, wanting to wipe the blood and tears from her mother's cheeks, but her hand wouldn't obey her. It felt so heavy...

Shu He's throat felt sore and her vision was hazy. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if someone was clutching it tightly. This feeling made her feel a little breathless...

"Don't cry, mother. I'm not in pain..." The girl's voice was as soft as a mosquito's. After she finished speaking, she completely fainted...

"Xiao Yi'er!!"

Shu He was terrified, her heart skipping a beat, as if someone very important was about to leave her. She frantically grabbed Xiao Yi'er's wrist and carefully felt her pulse.

"Mom, look, the little hoof is awake!"

Shu He's voice startled Chen Xiaohe. She tugged at Mrs. Chen's sleeve and gestured to her.

When Mrs. Chen saw Shu He wake up, her sharp triangular eyes instantly widened. She quickly walked over to Shu He, her eyes filled with bitterness, "You bitch, I knew you were pretending to be dead! Why don't you get up and work?! Do you really think that the food in my Chen family is free?!"

Mrs. Chen was holding a rough wooden stick as thick as her wrist, and was about to hit Shu He, but the next second, a hand covered with frostbite and cracks firmly grabbed the stick.

"You bitch, you still want..." Seeing that the originally weak and vulnerable woman dared to resist, Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows and was about to scold her again, but she inadvertently met a pair of cold and sharp eyes. At that moment, she seemed to see a ferocious beast opening its bloody mouth towards her, and was about to swallow her in the next second.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Chen Xiaohe saw that Mrs. Chen was stunned. She had always been jealous of Shu He's appearance and pushed Mrs. Chen again, wanting her to hit Shu He harder, preferably to death! After all, she was a dead person now, so it was just right to make the lie become reality!

Mrs. Chen was brought back to her senses by her daughter. She looked again and realized there was no ferocious beast there. She was simply frightened by the woman's eyes! She suddenly felt a little frustrated. It had been a year, and how could she still be frightened by her?

"You actually dared to resist! Do you know what 'rebellion' means? I'll sell you out! Sell that little bitch along with you, to save the Chen family from wasting their food!"

Mrs. Chen moved her hands, trying to pull the stick out of her hand, but she couldn't move it after trying several times. She was a little surprised for a moment.

But before she could think too much, she heard a voice as cold as ice, "Tell me, who is the master? Who is the servant?"
