After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 189, Episode 0196: A Great Woman (Part 1)

"teacher LIN."

Li Yuanbin was shocked to see Lin Yuexi. He didn't expect his teacher to come to see him, but at the same time he felt like he had no one to see.

Ms. Lin is their undisputed goddess, and everyone is doing their best to get more of her attention and recognition.

Instead of what he is like now, where the teacher is paying special attention to him, he doesn't want to be the one getting special attention when he's at his most embarrassing.

Lin Yuexi didn't pay attention to what the boy, whom she considered a child, was thinking. She stepped forward, checked his injuries, and frowned slightly.

"Very badly injured?"

With his head wrapped up so tightly, like an Indian's, you couldn't tell how serious his injury was at all.

Yang Chunhua, who was following behind, replied with heartache and guilt: "The wound is as long as a finger, and the bone is exposed."

At this point, it wasn't appropriate to say anything, and considering the proper separation of men and women, Lin Yuexi could only tell Li Yuanbin to rest more, and after sitting for a while, she left the room.

Yang Chunhua was very hospitable to her benefactor, and insisted on keeping Lin Yuexi from leaving immediately, at least asking her to stay for a cup of tea.

Lin Yuexi was deeply touched by the hospitality of the people from Northeast China. They really weren't just being polite; they would treat any guest who came to their home, unless they were unwelcome, to the best of their ability. If you were polite to them, they would feel that you were being distant or even that you were looking down on them.

So Lin Yuexi didn't struggle and followed Yang Chunhua's lead into the main room.

She also happened to have some things she wanted to talk about with Aunt Chunhua.

Yang Chunhua brewed two cups of cloyingly sweet syrup, served a platter of six or seven kinds of nuts, and then sat down with her.

"Teacher Lin, come on, have some water. Little darling, have some water too. And these fruits and melons, I brought them from the mountains, don't be picky."

She forced a somewhat humble and ingratiating smile on her face.

At that moment, Lin Yuexi only saw in her the weariness of life, as if she were being crushed by its weight.

For some reason, my eyes suddenly felt a little sore.

But Lin Yuexi blinked, shaking off the feeling in her heart. She first gently pushed the cup in front of the little guy to indicate that he could drink it, and then she picked up the sugar water herself and took a sip.

"Can I know why Li Yuanbin was so badly injured?"

Yang Chunhua's smile froze instantly, and a moment later she suddenly covered her face and burst into tears.

"It's because of me, it's because I was obsessed that I ruined them both."

Lin Yuexi didn't try to persuade her, but simply hugged the somewhat frightened little one and waited quietly for her to vent.

Originally, she didn't want to get involved in these matters, but when she saw Yang Chunhua, her psychic abilities immediately told her that she had already decided to die and that her life force was disappearing.

She could call it meddling, but Li Yuanxiang was risking his life to protect his country. If she hadn't seen it, that would have been one thing, but since she had seen it and was able to help, if she let his mother give up her life, she felt she was being a bit of a scoundrel.

Yang Chunhua had been holding back her bitterness for far too long, and with Lin Yuexi's deliberate encouragement, she could no longer hold back and finally poured out her grievances.

“I am the eldest in my family. My mother died early, after giving birth to my fourth sister. The following year, my father remarried a widow.”

“My stepmother had two sons, the younger one of whom was my father’s biological son. After having a son, my mother passed away. In my father’s eyes, the four of us daughters were nothing.” “My stepmother was heartless. If we sisters didn’t work, we wouldn’t have anything to eat. My fourth sister was less than a year old at the time, and she wouldn’t even leave us a bowl of rice gruel. When I took my fourth sister to the village, I knelt down and begged from house to house, begging for a bite here and a bite there. Finally, I managed to keep my fourth sister alive.”

That year, Yang Chunhua herself was only seven years old.

She has three younger sisters: two are five-year-old twins, and one is only seven months old.

"The following year, one day I went home and couldn't find my second and third sisters. I asked my father and stepmother, but they both said they hadn't seen them. I searched everywhere, but they scolded me for being nosy, saying that my two good-for-nothing sisters were gone."

Yang Chunhua pounded her chest in pain, "Teacher Lin, it hurts here, it hurts so much just thinking about it. They sold my two younger sisters, he's my own father!"

Lin Yuexi gently grasped her hand, with just enough strength to stop her from punishing herself without hurting her.

Yang Chunhua was lost in her memories and didn't notice any of this, continuing to talk about her own story.

“From then on, I was afraid. I was afraid they would sell my fourth sister too.”

So Yang Chunhua took Yang Simei with her wherever she went, even though she was such a small child, and she also went around inquiring about the whereabouts of her other two younger sisters.

Some villagers, seeing her pitiful state, secretly told her that they had seen the people who came to take her two younger sisters away.

Coincidentally, it was the former Yang Brigade, where the entire brigade was buried a while ago; back then it was called Dagazi Village.

Dagazi Village is remote and poor. The villagers, who favor sons over daughters, don't want girls at birth. And no girls from outside are willing to marry them. Over time, it has become increasingly difficult for the men in the village to find wives.

Therefore, they could only buy one wife.

But grown-up girls are expensive, and poor people can't afford them; so many people set their sights on little girls, some even buying one for just a pound or two of rice. They can work when they're young and have children when they grow up.

Therefore, Dagazi Village has a bad reputation in the area, but the villagers are very united and also very ruthless. It is said that they used to be bandits, and the people around them dare not offend them.

When people scare their children, especially girls, they always say, "If you don't behave, I'll marry you off/sell you to Dagazi Village."

Yang Chunhua had been frightened like this by her stepmother many times, and Dagazi Village was a deep abyss to her.

Upon hearing that her two younger sisters had been sold to Dagazi Village, Yang Chunhua, a young girl, carried one of her sisters on her back and walked for six whole days. When she was hungry, she would find something to eat in the mountains, and when she was thirsty, she would drink river water. She persevered and made her way to Dagazi Village with her short and thin legs.

Fortunately, she was lucky; before she even entered the village, an old woman saw her. The old woman was a kind person and stopped her from entering, telling her to run away quickly.

Yang Chunhua asked her about her sister's whereabouts, and the old lady told her that she had run away. The two girls were clever and ran away halfway.

“I don’t really remember what Grandma told me. I only remember that I was very scared at the time. I carried my fourth sister on my back and ran away. I even fell down a hillside and fainted on the way. I don’t know how I managed to run back to the village.”

Yang Chunhua and her fourth sister have been missing for nearly ten days, but her biological father and stepmother have not said they are looking for her, nor have they even asked about her outside.

The old village chief and the others couldn't stand by and watch, and were also afraid that the couple would sell Yang Chunhua and Yang Simei again, so they simply made the decision to separate the two of them from their father. From then on, Yang Chunhua raised Yang Simei on her own.

A little girl who is not even ten years old has to support her younger sister who is not even two years old. You can imagine how difficult her life is, even though she occasionally receives help from kind-hearted people in the village.

But the hemp rope always breaks at the thinnest part, and Yang Simei died of a high fever when she was seven years old.

"It's my fault, it's all my fault. I slept too soundly. My sister is still sick. How could I sleep? I deserve to die. I couldn't even save one of my three sisters."

"Why won't God take my life? It's all because I'm their nemesis."
