Three Women in the Cage

As a last resort, she lifted the handle of the kitchen knife with both hands, and smashed it against the chopping board with all her strength, along with the sweet potato stuck in it.

With a "snap", the sweet potato, which had been forcibly split, split into two and fell to the ground! Xinxin looked at the only vegetable scattered on the ground, feeling anxious and helpless. She wanted to cry. Why was it so difficult?

Normally, it wasn't this hard to look after my older sister. Why was it so difficult for me? She felt so helpless. She missed her sisters and wondered how they were doing over there. Has anyone else suddenly grown up like me, suddenly accepting things they've never accepted before? And then, these sudden changes left them feeling flustered and powerless?

Xinxin walked down dejectedly, picked up the two pieces of sweet potato on the ground, washed them helplessly, and then raised her foot again to try to cut the two pieces of sweet potato into sections!

Finally, after much effort, a plate of sweet potatoes of various shapes was brought down! I came to the wok and fumbled with the food, reluctant to add more oil to the wok, stirring it dryly with a spatula. After a while, because of the uneven stirring, a burning smell hit me. Looking at the raw, cooked, and burnt vegetables in the wok, I was completely discouraged!

She randomly picked up the dishes and placed them aside. Xinxin touched her rumbling stomach and missed her mother and sisters so much!

She stood in front of the gate, looking at the pitch-black night outside, feeling sad and depressed!

"Mom? When will you come home?"

"Sister, sister, I miss you so much. When will you come back..."

Xinxin started crying quietly in front of the door. What should she do? She felt so lonely, so cold, and so scared!

She had never felt so helpless alone...

The pigs in the pigsty were roaring wildly again. They were extremely hungry. The ducks in the fence were also chirping and noisy. They were hungry too!

But I couldn't even cook properly for people, so how could I have the energy to cook for pigs? The pigs ate a pile of sweet potatoes taken from the cellar, which I had to chop up and put into the pot to cook.

I can't even cut sweet potatoes for cooking, so how can I cut this pile of pig food? And the ducks in the fence, I've already scooped out food for them, but they still quack! It seems they sense their owner's loneliness, or maybe the usually bustling house seems so cold and desolate, which makes them panic!

In short, there was a lot of noise everywhere, and Xinxin was devastated. She was already miserable, and now these damned animals had to bother her even more. She was so tired, so exhausted, so miserable. She wanted to cry loudly, but she didn't dare. She was afraid that the neighbors would hear her and make fun of her family!

She covered her mouth and sobbed softly, trying to find an outlet!

But the two pigs, perhaps because it was too late today and they were extremely hungry, roared and yelled but no one paid attention to them, then they violently attacked the gate.

There was a sound of "crackling", Xinxin didn't want to pay attention to it. But another "crackling" sound came, as if the door frame was about to break!

Xinxin suddenly panicked. What if the two pigs broke through the fence and escaped? Or rushed out of the door into the darkness?

She couldn't bear to think about how she would find the two starving pigs if they ran away. She couldn't lose the two pigs. They were worth a lot of money. How could she let these profitable livestock be thrown away when her family was so short of money?

Xinxin was so scared that she quickly ran to the pigpen. The fence in front of the pigpen was covered with pig manure, and the manure pit under the pigpen was overflowing because there was no time to clean it out.

At this moment, the front of the pigpen was covered in sticky pig manure and mud. Xinxin really didn't want to step into it. Facing the stinky pigs that were still banging their heads against the fence, Xinxin stood a meter away and growled anxiously and angrily, "Stop banging the fence! Please, Brother Pig, be good, okay?"

Xinxin had no choice but to try to comfort the grumpy pig!

But the extremely hungry pig ignored Xinxin's coaxing and continued to smash the gate. Seeing that the pig was about to break out of the door, Xinxin cried anxiously. She didn't care about the pig manure or mud in front of her, and took a quick step forward to block the broken gate with her body.

I tried to push the stinky pigs that had already stuck their heads out, blocking the exit while pushing them in. I kept crying and coaxing them, "Brother Pig, please don't come out, please go in, okay? You can't come out..."

Xinxin cried out, she was already devastated enough, and these stinky pigs came to mess with her! She was really wronged and couldn't control herself anymore and burst into tears!

Hearing Xinxin's crying, the two pigs seemed to be stimulated. Not only did they not stop rushing out, but they pushed Xinxin even harder!

Before Xinxin could finish venting her emotions through crying, the two pigs suddenly gathered their strength and slammed open the precarious fence, pushing Xinxin back and making her stagger!

Xinxin's feet were covered in pig shit, but she didn't have time to clean it up. She watched the stinking pig, now free, run madly towards the door.

Xinxin was panicked, "We can't let them run away!"

She couldn't bear the consequences of running away. When her mother came back and found out that the pig was lost, she would give her a good beating! !

Thinking of this, Xinxin opened her legs and ran over with all her strength. She didn't know where she got the speed from. Anyway, she quickly closed the door just before chasing the stinky pig away!

The stinky pigs that fled in panic were locked in the inner room! Looking at the door that was suddenly closed, the two stinky pigs suddenly turned their heads and directed their anger at Xinxin.

They lowered their heads, roared, and attacked Xinxin, forcing Xinxin to dodge to the sides.

The stinky pig's attack failed, and when it saw that it couldn't attack Xinxin, it began to run around in the kitchen and other rooms, smashing things wherever it went, and suddenly there was a "crackling" sound everywhere!

Facing the madness of these two stinky pigs, Xinxin complained with hatred and grievance, "Even you two beasts come to bully me? Why do you come out to make trouble when I am alone at home? Why do you come out to cause trouble for me when I am not used to these things? Why do you also bully me?..."

Xinxin sat at the door of the inner room and burst into tears, "Mom, please come back soon... I really can't hold on any longer, I really don't know what to do..."

Everything that happened today was too much for her to handle, and before she had time to process it all, she felt overwhelmed!

At this moment, she felt so powerless. She wanted to grow up... Would growing up allow her to handle these things with ease? Would growing up allow her to possess a golden finger and no longer have to worry about these trivial matters?
