Three Women in the Cage

Yang Qing was the daughter Tian Yun adopted from her ex-husband after she got married. She was already over three years old when she was adopted. Fearing that her parents might be unhappy, they changed her surname to Yang.

Later, because she changed her surname to Yang, her parents treated her like their granddaughter. Yang Qing had always been good at judging people's faces. When she lived with her father, she often had no food to eat and was beaten by her father when he got drunk and went crazy!

She once saw her mother trying to escape with a big belly, and she begged her mother to take her with her. But at that time, Tian Yun could hardly protect herself, so how could she care about her!

Yang Qing was left behind like that. Her father often beat and scolded her because her mother ran away. He didn't like girls himself, so he disliked her even more!

At a young age, she was ordered to do all kinds of housework. If she didn't do it well, she would be beaten. Therefore, she learned to read her father's face early on. Later, Tian Yun couldn't bear to see her suffer over there, so after she settled down, she took her home. In a completely unfamiliar environment and in front of strangers, she learned to read the expressions and behave well!

Fortunately, Yang Yi and his parents treated her sincerely, and she later came to truly consider this place her home, always sensibly and attentively helping with household chores. On the one hand, she knew she wasn't a biological child, and she was afraid of being kicked out and sent back to her biological father's side. On the other hand, she truly wanted a family, and now that these people were so kind to her, she cherished this hard-earned friendship! So, she tried hard to act nice and be a good child!

As a result, just as she wished, Yang's parents liked her very much. They always praised her for being sensible and hardworking in front of outsiders, and they also felt a little bit sorry for her.

This is also the reason why no matter how Yang Yu persuaded them, the two elders were unwilling to send them back!

Hearing Tian Yun's voice, Yang Qing immediately put down the burden on her shoulders and walked towards them. When she got closer, she first glanced at Yang Yi, then tentatively asked, "Old man? Can I help you go into the inner room and lie down?"

She was a little timid towards this stepfather, not because Yang Yi treated her badly, but because Yang Yi was usually serious and gave people a very serious feeling. He was not good at speaking and had a sense of alienation!

Therefore, she seldom gets close to him, but she truly regards him as her father in her heart. Compared with her own father, this stepfather provides her with a place to live, food and clothing, and treats her mother and brother well. It is reasonable for her to respect him!

Seeing how sensible and cautious she was, Yang Yi couldn't bear to say anything to her. Although he wanted to talk about Yang's father again, he had to let Yang Qing help him into the house.

He was so weak that he almost fainted in the field at first. After what happened to Yang's father just now, he was so excited that he couldn't bear it anymore. He even had difficulty breathing and had to go in to catch his breath!

After Yang Yi, supported by Yang Qing, entered the inner room, Yang Yu said to Tian Yun with red eyes, "Sister-in-law, my brother is so sick, why are you still letting him work? Isn't this going to kill him?"

Tian Yun choked up and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm crazy. Want to kill my own man? There's nothing I can do. What can I do? If you say that, then just take my life first!"

Yang Yu didn't want to argue with her. If they started arguing at this time, she was afraid that her brother would get angry again. So she turned her face away and calmed down!

At this moment, a shout came from outside, "Mom! I'm back!"

I saw a boy of six or seven years old walking towards the cowshed while holding the cow rope.

Tian Yun was feeling worried when she heard someone shouting. She said impatiently to the outside, "Why are you yelling? Just come back. Why would I come to greet you? I have a lot of troubles, and you come to bother me again."

The boy listened to Tian Yun's voice and could only smack his lips, shaking his head as he tied the cow into the cowshed!

Suddenly seeing Yang Yu's figure, he leaned over and yelled at Yang Yu, "Aunt? Why are you here?"

The boy was Tian Yun's ex-husband's child, born here after she married. Perhaps he inherited his father's nature, the boy was carefree and had a bit of a gangster vibe.

Ever since Yang's parents were no longer there to discipline him, and Tian Yun had no time to take care of him, the boy became more and more naughty. Not only did he slack off all day, he also always got into fights and caused trouble outside!

Tian Yun has given up on disciplining him and there is nothing she can do about him!

As soon as Yang Yu saw the boy's appearance, he naturally felt disgusted. He always felt that his nature was hard to change and he couldn't lose his old man's lazy and gluttonous nature! He was afraid that he would drag down his own nephew in the future!

So, facing his playful smile, she said unhappily, "Why? I can't come yet! Don't you see that your husband is not in good health? I have to come to see him. Looking at you like this, I can only say that you are old enough and should help share more of the family burden. Otherwise, if your husband's health collapses, how can you still be so at ease?"

The boy said indifferently, "I'm helping to herd cattle. Besides, the old man hasn't been sick for just one or two days. Aunt, why do you say this to me as soon as you come?"

Yang Yu was afraid of saying something bad and embarrassing the child! After all, the child was born here, and he didn't know that he had another father. Since no one said it out loud, he didn't want to say it out loud either!

I could only sigh and say, "Okay, I won't talk about you anymore! Go see your old man!"

She didn't have the heart to pay attention to the boy now. Thinking that he was also a burden to her elder brother, she felt even more annoyed. She had no choice but to send him away. Out of sight, out of mind!

After calming down, Yang Yu thought about his elder brother again. He was still worried about him. After calming down, he came to Tian Yun to discuss it.

She walked up to Tian Yun and said tentatively, "Sister-in-law, I'm not here to argue today. Let's discuss sending brother to the hospital. His condition is already so serious. I'm afraid if we delay any longer, he'll get angry later!"

Seeing that she was kind enough to discuss this with her, Tian Yun didn't want to lose face, so she said kindly, "I want to take him to the hospital, but I don't have any money! The money your third brother gave me before was all spent by the children! Otherwise, I can also pick up some medicine for him!"

Before Yang Yu came, he had already brought all his savings with him. He didn't want to take them out because he and his children would need money everywhere!

But how could she bear to watch her elder brother being exhausted to death like this? So after much deliberation, she gritted her teeth and took out the money!

He stuffed a handful into Tian Yun's hand and instructed, "I don't have much more, this is all. Take it to take big brother to see a doctor! No matter what, health is the most important thing. You must take care of big brother's health first, and then do those farm work! Otherwise, if his health collapses, you won't be able to cry!"

Tian Yun was embarrassed to accept it at first, but after hearing Yang Yu's constant emphasis, she thought that it was time to take care of her husband's health! So, she stopped refusing, took the money, and said politely, "Then I'll take it! Don't worry, I will definitely cure your eldest brother's illness. Our family still depends on him for survival!"
