Falling into the mortal world

Before Lan's parents could say anything more, Lan Qingqing interrupted them and changed the subject.

"Little one, you've been here for so long and I haven't heard you say a word. Call me 'sister,' I have something delicious here." Lan Xiaoyu said timidly, "Sister."

Lan Qingqing smiled and took out a pastry box from the table, took out a piece from it, and handed it over.

Lan Xiaoyu timidly took the pastry, put it in her mouth and took a small bite. It was so delicious that Lan Xiaoyu couldn't bear to finish it. She took a small bite and chewed it back and forth, reluctant to swallow it.

Lan Qingqing couldn't calm down after seeing this scene.

Looking at her younger brother, who was so thin he was just skin and bones, Lan Qingqing felt nothing but heartache.

Before she was ten years old, her stepmother dared not openly mistreat the family out of consideration for her grandmother. But after her grandmother passed away, her stepmother's true nature was fully revealed.

My grandmother has three sons and one daughter. She has some money to spare, and who she gives it to depends on her mood.

The stepmother coveted her grandmother's money, so she didn't dare to go too far.

After Grandmother passed away, Grandpa became completely subservient to his stepmother. From then on, their family never had a single good day.

Over the years, she will collect these debts from them one by one.

Lan Qingqing glanced at the time outside; it was almost noon. She then rose to take her leave. Lan's mother wanted her to stay for lunch, but remembering that they only had some wild vegetables at home, she swallowed her words.

Lan Xiaotian looked at the things on the table, his heart filled with complex emotions.

These things were a godsend for his family.

He wanted to refuse but couldn't bring himself to say it. Lan Xiaotian vowed in his heart that one day, when he was able, he would definitely repay the girl's great kindness.

Lan's parents, along with their two sons, escorted Lan Qingqing all the way to the door.

When Lan Qingqing saw her parents, they were still planning to see her off.

He then said, "Uncle and Aunt, you can stop here and go back now!"

Mother Lan said, "Xiao Yu and Xiao Tian, ​​you two take this to Qingqing. When you get to the east end of the village, take Old Li's oxcart to the town."

Lan Xiaoyu and Lan Xiaotian said in unison, "Yes, Mother."

Lan Qingqing didn't refuse her mother's kindness; she could sense her mother's reluctance. Even after Lan Qingqing and the others had disappeared from sight on the path, her mother still refused to enter the courtyard.

Mr. Lan said, "Mother, the children have gone far away, let's go back too!"

With red eyes, Mother Lan said, "Looking at this girl reminds me of my poor eldest daughter. When I saw her at birth, I was overjoyed when she smiled at me. My eldest son was all wrinkled and shriveled when he was born."

When Daya was born, she was so pink and tender that you couldn't help but want to pinch her little cheeks. When she pouted in anger, she was just as adorable. She rarely cried, and when she smiled, she looked like a little fairy from heaven.

Mr. Lan said remorsefully, "It's my fault for being useless. My child is in that kind of place, and I can't do anything about it. I've been going there often these past few years, but I haven't even seen my daughter once."

Lan's mother said, "If it weren't for the old house selling my daughter, my eldest daughter wouldn't have suffered like this. I will never forgive that family in this lifetime." The hatred in Lan's mother's eyes was undisguised.

Mr. Lan sighed and went back inside.

Lan Qingqing and her companions arrived at Old Li's place at the east end of the village. They had just returned from town and were about to go home for dinner.

Lan Xiaoyu stepped forward and called out: Uncle Li, could you please make another trip to town?

Old Li sat on the oxcart, now all the villagers had left, leaving the cart empty.

Old Li noticed two girls and a young boy standing next to Lan Xiaoyu and asked curiously, "Xiaoyu, are these your relatives?"

Uncle Li, this is my second brother. My second brother is back. These two sisters are my second brother's benefactors, and therefore my family's benefactors.

"Oh," the old man said with a knowing look.

Lan Qingqing said: Uncle, could you please make a trip for me? Consider this a private car service, and I'll charge you whatever it costs.

Old Li thought for a moment and said, "My cart can seat twelve people, and it costs two coins per person. So, twenty coins will do."

Lan Qingqing said, "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle," and then she and Feng Caidie got onto the oxcart.

When Lan Xiaotian and Lan Xiaoyu returned home, they saw their mother excitedly saying, "Son, we've met a benefactor!"

Lan Xiaotian was completely baffled by what his mother was saying. What was wrong with his mother?

Blue's mother excitedly stretched out her hands, which trembled with emotion.

When Lan Xiaotian saw Lan's mother open her palm, he saw ten taels of silver in her hand. They were small pieces of silver, each weighing one tael.

Lan Xiaotian was also shocked; how could there be such a good person in this world?

When Lan's mother returned, she tidied up the things on the table and found ten small pieces of silver under the cloth.

Lan Xiaotian said: Mother, you can keep this. Tomorrow, go and buy some grain. I saw that you spent several dozen taels of silver to buy this cloth.

Keep this safe and don't let the girl's kindness go to waste.

Mother Lan acknowledged. There was also a bag of scraps of cloth. Mother Lan planned to make two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes for her eldest son, and ask someone to deliver them to her son at the border.

Your sister's birthday is in a couple of days, and in previous years Mom hasn't had anything decent to send her. I'll hurry up and make a few pretty dresses for your sister so your dad can take them. I'll also make two dresses each for you, your younger sister, and your younger brother.

Mother Lan counted them with a look of delight.

Lan Xiaotian didn't speak, his eyes slowly reddening. He knew his mother couldn't let go of his sister. Otherwise, her hair wouldn't have turned white overnight.

When Lan Qingqing arrived in town, she first found an inn to stay at, as she now had very little money left.

Lan Qingqing counted the money in her hand and found that she only had twenty-nine taels of silver left.

Now I have to find a way to make money; I've never worried about money before.

She never counted how much money she had. The money given to her by customers was always casually placed in the cabinet.

She didn't want to use that money, so she left without taking any with her.

The two went to a noodle shop next to the inn and ordered two bowls of noodles.

Girl, where are we going next?

Lan Qingqing glanced in the direction of Wangjia Village. "If some people are giving up a good life, then I'll grant them their wish."

"Oh," Feng Caidie nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

That evening, Lan Qingqing arrived at Wangjia Village. In her memory, her second aunt's family members were not good people.

Back then, when I was sold to this second aunt's family, they also put in a lot of effort.

Lan Qingqing glanced at the low mud wall in front of her. With a swift movement, she entered the courtyard. Moving through the night, Lan Qingqing was like a silent ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

Wang Dashan's adobe house is divided into three rooms. The main room is where Wang Laotou and Wang Laotai, a married couple, live, while Wang Dabao and Wang Daniu live on the east and west sides respectively.

Wang Erbao lived in the inner room of the kitchen. Lan Qingqing first checked where Lan Xiaoya was.

Lan Qingqing checked every room, but there was no sign of Lan Xiaoya.

Finally, Lan Qingqing saw Lan Xiaoya's figure by the stove. The little girl was curled up in a ball, covering herself with some grass to keep warm.

Lan Qingqing first entered Wang Dabao's room. She lit a sleeping potion, then severed Wang Dabao's Achilles tendon. Then, Lan Qingqing slashed Wang Dabao's face.

Having dealt with Wang Dabao and his wife, Lan Qingqing went to the old man and his wife's house. She followed the same method. The only people Lan Qingqing didn't target were the family's second son and youngest daughter.

The couple responsible for contacting the human traffickers in the prefectural city back then were Wang Dabao and his wife.

The people who gave her stepmother advice were the old couple, Mr. and Mrs. Wang.

Afterwards, her stepmother gave the old couple ten taels of silver.

If I hadn't completely lost consciousness, I wouldn't have known who the people who harmed me were.
