The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven
Chapter 122 You Are My Sister
Chapter 122 You Are My Sister
Today, Erya felt that her father came back very late, and it was already dark.
"What's wrong? Have you all eaten?"
When Dad came back, Mom was bringing out a bowl of egg custard from the kitchen.
Their eyes met, Dad nodded silently, and then Mom's eyes lit up.
Mother put the egg custard on the table and touched the head of her little son who was sitting at the table waiting for her.
"We've eaten the meal, but your son keeps asking for eggs. There's nothing we can do." Mother looked quite helpless.
Daddy wiped his hands cheerfully, and slapped his brother's hair on the head with a slapstick comb: "This little brat is always making trouble."
He saw Erya, Sanya and Siya standing outside the candlelight, but their eyes were particularly bright, and they were staring at the bowl of egg custard eagerly.
"You guys can come and eat, one spoon each."
Erya immediately squeezed over excitedly and leaned her head against her two sisters.
Her mother glanced at her and handed her the spoon: "Erya, you are the oldest, you eat first."
The eldest sister had married Wang Wu from the next village, so Erya became the eldest girl in the family.
Erya carefully scooped a small spoonful and put it into her mouth. The egg was smooth and tender, and it slipped into her stomach before she could even taste it.
Erya reluctantly handed the spoon to Sanya, and Sanya also ate a small spoonful.
Si Ya was a bit bolder and ate a full spoonful, but her mother immediately scolded her: "Greedy ghost."
In the end, there was still more than half a bowl left, which all went into my brother's stomach.
Wu Ya was just born and can’t eat these yet.
After eating the egg custard, it’s time to go to bed.
Candles cannot be lit for too long, that would be too much of a luxury.
Erya lay on her little bed, still savoring the taste of the egg custard.
For her, who had to eat porridge every night and felt dizzy and hungry, egg custard was indeed a rare delicacy.
After a drowsy sleep for a while, Erya woke up hungry again.
She didn't know why, but she had been feeling hungry lately. She put Si Ya's arm, who was sleeping next to her, on her stomach to make her stomach flatter so that she would not feel so hungry.
Erya didn’t know that she was in the growing period and of course she would get hungry easily.
Suddenly she heard her parents sighing.
"Erya is still young..." There was helplessness in Dad's voice.
"Not young anymore. When I married you, I was only two years older than her."
"Besides, they just want Erya to live there first. They are not in a hurry to get married. They said they will consummate the marriage when she is older."
These words from her mother made Erya feel like she was falling into an ice cave.
Although she was young, children from poor families matured precociously and she was no longer a child who knew nothing.
A small hand reached out and held her cold and trembling hand tightly.
It’s Si Ya.
"Besides, what's the situation of their family? What's the situation of our family? If Erya marries there, she'll have good food and clothes, which is better than not having enough food to eat when she stays with us, right?"
"Ugh……"
"Besides, Chun-ge'er is going to school, where will the money come from?"
"Zheng Ge'er is also going to take the county exam. If he passes, I heard he will hire a famous teacher. Where will the money come from?"
"Oh, yes, yes."
That’s how Arya’s matter was settled.
Si Ya hugged her gently and trembled with her.
Maybe she understood it, or maybe she didn’t, but Arya herself was shaking violently.
Arya felt the pillow was a little wet, so she turned it over.
I tossed and turned several times throughout the night, like a pancake, and couldn't sleep at all.
When morning came, she ran out without even having breakfast.
I arrived at the stream where I saw the fairy yesterday and stood there for a long time.
"Girl, why are you running around?" Erya's father chased after her, panting. Shiniu Village was not big, and Erya couldn't run far.
"Dad?" Erya was surprised. Didn't Dad usually go to work in the fields early in the morning? "Go home quickly. I'll pack up for you and go somewhere."
"I...I don't want to go..." Erya understood what her father meant.
"Be obedient, you are my sister, you can't be willful."
Erya was most afraid of her father’s stern face. Every time her father was like this, she would be beaten and in pain for several days.
She had heard this sentence countless times.
She is the older sister, so she can't snatch the egg custard from her younger brothers and sisters.
She is the older sister, so she has to give all her toys to her younger brothers and sisters.
She is the elder sister, so she has to share more of the dirty and tiring work.
Finally one day, she thought, why?
"I won't!" Arya shouted and turned and ran.
But after running a few steps, he was caught and held in mid-air.
Erya kicked her legs and cried, but she was too weak to fight against her father.
And just like that, she was caught and taken home.
My mother forced me to take a bath and change into relatively clean clothes.
This is the new dress her mother made for her using her eldest sister's clothes during the Chinese New Year last year. She was reluctant to take it off when she wore it.
Then, she, crying weakly, was tied up with ropes and her mouth sealed by her parents and sent to a carriage parked at the door.
"Well, she's not an ugly girl." The old nanny pinched her red face and looked at her carefully.
My parents didn't dare to say anything and just smiled timidly.
"Here, take the silver."
"From now on, she will be our family's honorable young mistress, and the niece of our wife, so you understand, right?"
"Yes, yes, we understand. We won't go looking for the young mistress."
The old nanny got on the carriage without even looking at Arya, and just gave an order to the coachman.
Erya was very quiet along the way.
The car stopped after driving for a while, and Erya was dragged out of the car by the old nanny.
I didn’t expect that the old lady was quite old, but still very strong.
After getting off the carriage, Arya found that what was in front of her was not the tall mansion she had imagined, but a dark cave.
The old lady held Erya in one hand and a fire starter in the other and walked into the cave.
When we arrived at a stone gate guarded by someone, the view finally became brighter thanks to the torches on both sides.
After blowing out the fire stick, the old nanny threw Arya to the ground and asked the two men guarding the gate respectfully.
"Is the young master awake?"
"Yes, it's going on right now." A man whispered.
"The child you brought this time didn't cry or make a fuss. Could there be something wrong with his brain?" asked another man.
He saw Erya lying on the ground, not struggling, just looking at a dot in front of her with burning eyes, and feeling uneasy in his heart.
Did you see something unclean?
"Master doesn't like girls with mental problems."
"It's definitely okay!" The old lady assured him hastily, "It's just that my parents sold me out, and I'm disheartened. It's good this way, and I don't have to worry about anything."
At this time, the stone door opened, and a beautiful maid came out and said to the two men, "Okay, go in and clean up."
He turned to the old lady and said, "Wait a minute."
"Yes, yes, it's up to you, young lady." The old nanny was even more respectful to the maid, and her old face was full of flattery.
Soon after the two men guarding the gate went in, they came out dragging a cloth bag.
The cloth bag was not big, but it was bulging with blood and was piled up casually aside.
As a result, the cloth bag was not placed properly, and it fell to the side due to its uneven bottom, with the mouth of the bag open.
Erya, lying on the ground, had her face facing the opening of the bag.
In the dim light of the fire, she saw a pale face and a pair of glowing eyes deep in the dark bag, looking at her.
