She dared to break into Hejia Village alone, and now she has a smart and understanding little monkey to accompany her. What else does she have to be afraid of?

When Lin Wanxin was daydreaming, the little monkey pulled her trouser leg again. Lin Wanxin now knew that someone must be coming.

She took the little monkey's hand and hid behind the bushes.

Soon, two aunts in their 40s walked past them while chatting.

Originally, they just needed to hide and wait for them to pass before leaving.

But Lin Wanxin actually heard them talking about an important matter.

"Have you heard that the five-year-old girl adopted by He Tiejun's family couldn't stand the beatings and actually ran away to the mountains to hide?"

"How come I haven't heard about it? Now He Tiejun has mobilized the entire village to search for her whereabouts in the mountains."

"This little girl is so bold! She's not my biological daughter, yet she has such a bad temper. What's wrong with a few spankings from an adult? She even dared to run up the mountain! If this were my daughter, I'd definitely break her legs when I got back!"

"I think that little girl has been beaten to the point of being deaf. There's no point keeping her at home. Since He Tiejun's family has adopted a boy, it's better to just leave her in the mountains to fend for herself."

"You don't understand, do you? Although this little girl is young, she works very skillfully. He Tiejun and the villagers went to the mountains to look for her not because they liked her, but because his adopted son had violent tendencies and liked to beat people up at the slightest provocation."

The two aunts lowered their voices when they spoke here, but soon they remembered that there was no one else on this path, so they raised their voices again.

It was precisely because of their voices, which sometimes rose and sometimes fell, that Lin Wanxin was able to hear the whole thing clearly.

"You're right. No one can handle having a son like that. He beat his mother at such a young age!"

"You think his dad is having an easy time? I heard he bit his hands so many times that I don't even know how many pieces of flesh he bit off."

When the two of them said this, they both made clicking sounds.

"If it were me, since he is not my biological son, I would have sent him back long ago."

"Me too. I want a son, not an ancestor. Anyone who gets caught up with such a jerk will be in trouble for the rest of their lives."

The two aunts talked with gusto, but Lin Wanxin secretly clenched her fists and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Although she didn't know what the fourth child's name was now, nor did she know what she looked like.

But that didn't stop her from knowing that the poor little girl these two aunts were talking about was her fourth child!

It was her fourth daughter, whom she had never met and who was tortured to death by the little beast when she was less than eight years old.

Lin Wanxin had imagined the scene of mother and daughter meeting thousands of times, but she didn't expect to hear about her from someone else.

But she clearly remembered that the book said that the fourth child was deafened by a slap, which happened half a year later.

The time hasn't come yet, why has the tragedy already happened?

She thought she came early enough, but she was still a step late!

Lin Wanxin originally planned to let them go because they provided so much information.

But unexpectedly, they changed the subject and started insulting and hating her daughter again.

"That bitch never liked to talk, and now she's deaf. I'm afraid her life will be difficult in the future."

"I'm telling you, that bitch is too honest. Last time I met her on the street, I pushed her but she didn't dare to say a word."

"When you mentioned this, it reminded me of the time I pinched her butt. I heard it turned red, and she didn't even dare to fart."

"A little girl like her, without any parental love or support, is so easy to get angry on. She wouldn't dare to do anything anyway."
