Song Xianglan: "Yuena gave birth?"

"She had a boy."

Xiao Yan clenched her teeth, making a grinding sound.

"Sister Yuena had just given birth at the small clinic when the man's wife, along with several other women, stormed into the clinic. They snatched the baby away and beat Sister Yuena up."

"That damned woman dragged Sister Yuena off the bed and kicked her in the stomach and there with the toe of her high heels."

They say that Sister Yuena, at such a young age, has gone astray and stolen her man.

Some people in the small clinic couldn't stand it and were stopped by those people. They beat her for half an hour and even took off her clothes and took pictures.

They told Yue Na to get out of Guangzhou immediately and never come looking for the child again.

Those photos could be developed anytime and sent to men all over the country to enjoy; he even said he would send them back to his hometown.

Song Xianglan's face darkened.

When did this happen?

"Just in the middle of last month."

Xiao Yan blew her nose.

"I received a call from the village and closed my shop to rush to Guangzhou. At that time, Sister Yuena attempted suicide but was rescued. The police found the address Sister Yuena gave them and called the village committee."

"I can't let Sister Yuena be bullied."

"Third Aunt, I can't swallow this. I went to the factory where Sister Yuena works to inquire, and found out that the couple deliberately found a woman with no one to rely on to have a child."

I paid a sum of money to tie them up and beat them for an hour. I also took their photos.

"I demanded that they give me Sister Yuena's photos and negatives. I also demanded that they take back Sister Yuena's child. Sister Yuena can raise that child, or she can abandon him in an orphanage, but we can't give him to them."

Xiao Yan's eyes revealed a ruthless glint.

She's completely different from the timid girl she used to be.

Song Xianglan felt a pang in her heart as she listened.

This era.

Countless naive young women have been tricked into working, even in industries they dislike.

If you dare disobey, you'll get a beating.

"That bastard couple can't have any more children; they only care about their son. I'll make sure they have no hope for the future and cut off their family line. I'd rather borrow money to get revenge."

As Xiao Yan spoke, her eyes dimmed.

"I didn't initially intend to be this ruthless. But later, I had my uncle's men investigate. They said that Sister Yuena was already the third victim; the previous two girls had given birth to daughters."

They got beaten up and told the two girls to take their daughters and get out. Even the factory owner's wife was no good.

I had some people beat her up too, and they painted red paint on the factory gate saying she seduced girls.

A hint of ferocity flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes. "That scoundrel's wife even pretended to be his cousin to take care of Sister Yuena when she was pregnant. I won't let anyone bully Sister Yuena."

Song Xianglan realized for the first time how deep the sisterly bond was between Tang Yuena and Xiao Yan.

"Does Zhao Feng know?"

"It's none of his business. My mother-in-law heard from somewhere that Sister Yuena must have been a mistress to raise a child alone, and that her husband didn't want her. So she gave birth to the child herself."

"The mother-in-law started causing trouble at home. Zhao Feng pretended not to hear and tried to smooth things over."

Song Xianglan went back into the house and took out a thick red envelope.

I also picked out a box of bird's nest, two cans of imported milk powder, and some high-quality fish maw.

"Let me go with you to see Yuena."

"People should always look forward; those who are not afraid of death are not afraid of facing gossip."

She followed Xiaoyan to the clothing store.

The clothing store is in a great location.

The first floor is a storefront facing the street.

The second floor has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, which is spacious enough to accommodate several people.

Push open the wooden door to the inner room on the second floor.

Tang Yuena leaned against the headboard, her face sallow.

Hearing the door open and seeing a stranger, she instinctively lowered her head.

The swearing and gossip from Grandma Xiaoyan downstairs, coupled with the pointing fingers and whispers from the villagers, made her afraid to see outsiders.

Song Xianglan stepped forward and placed the net bag in her hand on the bedside table.

She pulled over a stool and sat down.

He stuffed a red envelope and a pair of shiny silver bracelets into the child next to Tang Yuena.

"The little guy looks quite energetic."

"Your complexion is a bit yellow. You must eat well during your postpartum period. Order a pork kidney every day and cook it with rice wine and sesame oil. Buy more codonopsis root; you can use it to steam pork ribs or fish. Buy a few red crabs; they're very nourishing."

Song Xianglan recounted many details.

Tang Yuena: ...

I didn't get the scolding I expected.

On the contrary, they all showed concern.

"It's not your fault that you're pretty. For a young woman to come out of Guangzhou alone, a place that eats people alive, is a blessing from heaven."

There was not a hint of contempt in Song Xianglan's words.

"Xiao Yan used to talk about you every day. She wrote you letters and called you. I've always kept your name in my heart. She really hopes you'll come and see her."

Tang Yuena's shoulder twitched.

Two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.

"It's all fate."

She hugged the sleeping boy. "Back then, I also came here to find Xiaoyan, but I got into the wrong black cab on the way. As soon as the door closed, a whole carload of men and women were taken directly to an underground black factory in Guangzhou. We worked there for more than half a year without being able to leave. Later, we were sold to other clothing factories."

She raised the back of her hand and wiped her face hard.

The more I wiped away the tears, the more they flowed.

"I'll pay them back a few months' worth of the money I earned after switching factories."

"Later, the factory owner's mother introduced me to a guy. He was a few years older than me and seemed reliable. I thought I was getting old enough to settle down and start a family."

Tang Yuena bit her lower lip until it left a white mark. "We dated for a month, had a wedding banquet, and got our marriage certificate. But right after I gave birth to him, that man's wife came with several women to snatch the child."

Tang Yuena's eyes were filled with terror.

"They pointed their fingers at me and called me a piece of trash who deliberately caused trouble. My child was taken away, and that woman, wearing high-heeled hard leather shoes, kicked me hard in the stomach. But that woman had previously claimed to be his cousin and had taken care of me during my pregnancy."

Tang Yuena's crying became hoarse.

The baby boy in her arms was frightened and started crying loudly.

Xiao Yan's eyes were red.

He quickly stepped forward, took the child from him, and held him in his arms, patting and comforting him.

"Auntie, I'm not a bad woman. I really am not... Waaah..."

"I don't want to bring shame to my deceased mother. Nor do I want Xiaoyan to think of me as a bad woman one day."

The only two people Tang Yuena cared about were her deceased mother and her mother.

And then there's Xiao Yan.

"Don't be afraid of those ignorant village women outside spouting nonsense. The fault lies with the liars and the human traffickers. You, the victim, are hiding here feeling ashamed?"

Song Xianglan had sharp eyes.

"Anyone who dares to be rude, just slap them. When it comes to cursing, you should learn from Xiao Yan; she's finally graduated."

Tang Yuena kept hiccuping as she cried.

"I want to move out. I can't live here anymore, Xiaoyan can't stand it."

Song Xianglan glanced at her sideways.

"The moment you step out of this door, Xiao Yan will dare to drag Zhao Feng to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce."

Tang Yuena was stunned.

Xiao Yan turned her back while holding the child, saying, "Sister, you are more important to me than anyone else."

Song Xianglan looked at the astonished Tang Yuena.

sigh:

"You are the person Xiaoyan cherishes in her heart. You used to protect her, and you feel guilty for not being able to protect her after she came back. You are both good girls, so don't always think of running away when something happens."

Tang Yuena couldn't resist the words "good girl".

She sobbed.

Song Xianglan let her cry and turned to look at Xiao Yan.

"The old house next to Zhang Haiyan's is currently empty. Everyone who moved there has prospered. If you don't mind the strong sea breeze, you can have Yuena move there."

Song Xianglan raised her voice, "This will also teach those gossipy old women in the village a lesson. Anyone who dares to gossip about living in my house, Song Xianglan's house, should ask me first if I'll allow it!"
