Chapter 6 Mother's Past (Part [-])
Four updates today, two updates in the afternoon

Yi Xue also has a little memory of Da Ya in her mind. It seems that she treats this mother very badly because of her birth. Forget it, let's take care of her herself.

"Mother, we will take care of you too, mother must be well," Sanya said timidly.

"Okay, okay, they are all my mother's good daughters." Mrs. Zhang hugged the three children, crying with joy.

"Mother, come with me." Seeing that it was getting dark, Yi Xue took Mrs. Zhang to the kitchen and told the two younger sisters to go to bed.

"Mother, we will help each other in the future, can you tell me what's going on?" Yi Xue asked seriously.

Mrs. Zhang didn't understand what Yi Xue meant by helping each other in times of trouble, but she understood that Da Ya was doing it for her own good, and she really cared about herself.After sighing, Mrs. Zhang spoke eloquently.

It turned out that the ancestors of the Zhang family were officials. What kind of official was it? I was too young at that time, so I don’t remember it anymore. I only know that my grandfather’s house was ransacked and the whole family was sent to prison. Sent as slaves, all women were sold into official kilns.

The official kiln is a special institution in this world, which is responsible for the severe criminal laws of the guilty officials. In this place, life is almost worse than death.

At that time, Mrs. Zhang was seven years old. She was sold to a brothel along with her mother. Her mother was born in a scholarly family. She refused to obey her, and finally committed suicide, leaving Mrs. Zhang alone.The brothel saw that Mrs. Zhang was too young, so she sold her to someone else, and was sold to another family as a maid until she was 13 years old.

Although Mrs. Zhang had enough to eat in that family, the hostess was jealous. When she saw a slightly prettier adult girl or maid, she resolutely refused to stay at home.So Zhang was sold to a brothel again.

But Mrs. Zhang's life should not be lost. On the way to see her son off, she was robbed by a group of robbers, and escaped in disorder, and then went all the way to Huawang Village hungry.

There was an idler named Yaosi in Huawang Village, who happened to see the helpless Mrs. Zhang, so he coaxed her back home and became his wife.Mrs. Zhang thought at the time that as long as she had a place to live and was well fed and warm, she would be able to live her life with care.

But when Yaosi knew from Mrs. Zhang that he was selling to a brothel, he was rude to Mrs. Zhang. He usually greeted Mrs. Zhang when he got angry, and spent all the family's money indiscriminately.

The family didn't have much money at first, so Yaosi had no money to spend, so he came back to beat Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang begged for mercy. After more than ten years, when Sanya was born, Yaosi said that he went to the south with his friends to do business. Go and never come back.

At that time, Mrs. Zhang was simple-minded, and after telling the story of her being sold to a brothel, Yao Si boasted in front of others that she had found a top card in a brothel.It made everyone in the village know that there was such a shameless woman in the village.

So no one in the village looked down on Mrs. Zhang, and even the children saw Mrs. Zhang and said, bastards.

After Yaosi left, the Zhang family became even more difficult.The villagers despise their family even more. The original two mu of land was sold by Yao Si, and there is no source of income.Even those who sympathized with Zhang's family did not dare to help openly.

The head of the Wang family once suggested that the Zhang family should be kicked out, otherwise the atmosphere of Huawang Village would be ruined.But for the sake of the four children, he couldn't bear to be too heartless, so he still let him stay.Although they were allowed to stay, the people in the village did not have a good face, and everyone looked down on them.

Listening to Mrs. Zhang talking intermittently, tears could not stop streaming down.Yi Xue was very sympathetic, but the gossip and rumors were even more ruthless.People say it's really scary.

The Zhang family is actually from a scholarly family, which surprised Yi Xue a bit. She didn't expect that although she was born in a poor family, her status was not bad. No wonder Erya and Sanya were well-bred.

"Mother, everything will be fine." Yi Xue didn't know how to comfort her, and could only work hard to change this situation in the future.

"Okay, big girl, go to bed early, tomorrow morning I have to help out and dig wild vegetables," said Zhang, wiping away tears.

The four of them squeezed onto the bed without speaking. Mrs. Zhang was tired, and she fell asleep quickly after a busy day. Erya and Sanya were pure-hearted, and the child was sleepy a lot, so she fell asleep quickly.
