Three Women in the Cage

Listening to their mother's words, the three children lowered their heads. They understood, and had always understood, that they had to share the burden with their mother, but they just felt a little aggrieved!

They are just children, and they also want to be able to accept New Year's red envelopes without any scruples and buy what they want like other children!

But they can't, they can't be so ignorant! That will only make their mother angry!

They could only nod and try to comfort themselves to be good children!

Two days later, a car stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and Yang Ming and Ma Mei got out of the car.

Yang Yu had packed the luggage of the two children long ago. When he heard the sound of the car, he urged the two children to follow quickly!

Yang Ming looked at the children pushed out by Yang Yu, stepped forward to help carry their luggage, put it in the trunk, and then pulled the two children into the car!

Yang Yu stepped forward and said with some concern, "Hanhuan, Yaya, you must listen carefully to your aunt and uncle when you go over there! Got it?"

Knowing that his elder sister was worried, Yang Ming comforted her, "Don't worry, elder sister! I'll be watching over them. I'll bring them back to you safely as soon as the holiday is over!"

Ma Mei also echoed, "That's right, Sister Yu'er, you're still worried about Yang Ming! I will definitely send it back to you intact!"

Yang Yu smiled with relief and said, "Don't worry! Of course I don't worry! I have you guys taking care of me! I'm completely relieved!"

Ma Mei waved to Yang Yu, stepped on the accelerator, and the car slowly disappeared from Yang Yu's sight!

Yang Yu stood there, staring at the direction where the car disappeared, stunned for a long time. This was the first time for the two children to go on a long journey, the first time to leave home and leave him!

I thought the two children would be the first to have difficulty adapting, but I didn't expect that I would be the first to have difficulty adapting! All along, the three children have depended on me for survival. Although life is hard, it is also lively and warm!

Looking at the quiet and empty house, Yang Yu felt mixed emotions. He walked towards the house dejectedly, but caught a glimpse of Xinxin in the corner, who was also looking at the car disappearing.

She looked longingly in that direction. She knew her sister was going to work to earn money! She knew she couldn't go and cause trouble! She knew she still needed her to accompany her mother at home!

However, she also felt empty inside. She really wanted to go to the big city with her sisters. She also wanted to see what the big city looked like. She also wanted to fly out of this mountain village, even if it was just for a while!

After her sisters left, she felt as if she was abandoned here. Everything here made her feel cold. The eyes of the people here were cold, and their smiles were cold too.

She didn't dare to get close to anyone here and could only hide in the house alone. Even Zhang Jin, who once looked for her, gradually stopped looking for her!

She didn't know when, but her only friend was also getting farther and farther away from her! She didn't understand why these people were staying away from her!

She obviously only had her sisters to accompany her, so she kept everything she had been holding back all day long and would only share it with her sisters at night.

When I am happy, they are happy with me. When I am sad, they patiently enlighten and comfort me!

But now even my sisters are gone, and I have no one to talk to!

No one will listen to me when I am happy anymore, and no one will patiently comfort me when I am sad anymore!

This winter vacation, she felt the bone-chilling cold!

"Xinxin! Why are you standing there like an idiot? Go and drive the ducks out to the fields!" Yang Yu suddenly interrupted Xinxin's daze!

She had recently bought a flock of ducklings, hoping that raising them would not only help with the family income but also give the children some extra pocket money. They were still growing, and they couldn't afford to go hungry at school like they used to. She had to give them lunch at least. While it wasn't a good meal or filling, it was enough to give them a taste and keep them from starving too much! Especially since Huanhuan was about to start middle school, her weekly living expenses were a significant expense, and all of this required a lot of money!

Considering Xinxin the youngest, Yang Yu gave her the job of herding the ducks. Every day, she only had to drive the ducklings to the fields after the autumn harvest, where they would play and frolic in the few empty plots. Xinxin only had to watch over them; she didn't have to do anything complicated. Yang Yu thought this job was perfect for Xinxin!

Huanhuan has been delicate since she was young. She is not as quick and flexible as Yaya in doing things, so she was arranged to cook and do housework at home!

Yaya was strong and quick, so Yang Yu dragged her to the fields to work! Farm work outside was always hard, exposed to the wind and sun year-round. Especially during the autumn harvest, they often endured the scorching sun. After finally carrying a thick stack of rice, they had to carry a heavy load of corn. After carrying the heavy corn, they had to carry the even heavier sweet potatoes without stopping!

She was either harvesting in the fields or carrying things back and forth! The tiredness, thirst, and sunburn finally made Yaya feel tired!

She also wants to cool down at home and do housework! She loves cooking the most, especially cutting vegetables into various shapes and arranging them on beautiful plates!

She also likes to go to the vegetable garden, pick various vegetables, wash them in the ditch, and then go home to cook a table full of delicious meals. Those are her favorite things to do!

She knew she was the best person to do housework at home, and her eldest sister Huanhuan's cooking was terrible. She didn't understand why her mother always had to drag her to the fields to do those hard and tiring farm work!

She didn't want to do the farm work at all. It was too tiring. She didn't like it, not at all!

She never understood why her mother wouldn't let her do what she liked. Her mother never listened to her ideas and always forced and tyrannically arranged things for her!

When she was most tired, she even thought, "It would be nice if she could go herd ducks!" She could find a cool shade under a tree, lie down and rest for a while, which would be nice too!

But her mother always tricked her, telling her to hurry up, urging her to finish clearing a piece of land so she could play. But when she finished clearing one piece of land, there was another one waiting for her. Her mother always tricked her, endlessly, and she could never see the moment she finished clearing!

Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at her mother with dissatisfaction and confusion, "Why do you always drag me to do farm work? I don't want to do farm work! I want to do housework, I want to cook, I want to make dishes! Why don't you let me switch with my eldest sister or my third sister? Why do you always favor them?"

Yaya had never dared to say it, but at this moment, she said it uncomfortably. She didn't understand, and she wanted to know if her mother was biased!
