Ding Chunlan's father failed to survive a month in prison, and he died of illness in prison before he even waited for the trial. Ding's mother called Ding Chunlan to go back to attend the funeral.

"It's ridiculous, I still have the face to ask me to go back. I refused and said that I would never jump into the house again in the future."

That weekend, Ding Chunlan came over to find Tang Xiaonan for afternoon tea. Xu Jinfeng was also at home. She came yesterday and suddenly ran back. When she went there, she said she would live in her hometown until after the New Year. But she came back after only one month. Xu Jinfeng said she missed the children, but Tang Xiaonan guessed that there should be something else.

I guess I was quarreling with her father. The older the couple grew older, the more they became, and they couldn't stop thinking about it. They were quarreling again and again, just like children.

"Your mother is really, are you your mother's biological child?" Tang Xiaonan asked curiously.

No matter how you look at it, you feel that what Ding’s parents did is not like their biological parents, otherwise how could they be so cruel?

Ding Chunlan sneered, "I hope it's not my biological parents, but they were born, their biological parents."

"They are really cruel, too." Tang Xiaonan sighed.

I really can't understand such parents, which is unprecedented.

Xu Jinfeng didn't know about this, but Tang Xiaonan told her, which scared her and kept chanting "Amitabha".

"Blessed by the Bodhisattva, I am back without any danger. It's better if my parents don't recognize you. Chunlan, don't go back to your hometown, and settle down in Songcheng from now on." Xu Jinfeng comforted.

Ding Chunlan nodded, "I won't go back. Actually, I don't feel uncomfortable. This kind of thing is particularly common in our side. In our place, women are animals and can be beaten and scolded at will, and no one cares if they are beaten to death. There are many husbands beating their wives and fathers beating their daughters."

"It's still like this now?" Tang Xiaonan frowned, feeling uncomfortable.

Ding Chunlan nodded with a wry smile, "Yes, it's still the case. You may not believe it when you say it. Our place is so ignorant. Like my father's case this time, all of us pleaded for my father, saying that he did not commit a crime, and that it is natural to be a father's lesson, and the law cannot control it. In their ignorant consciousness, this is a very normal thing. I am the one who is ruthless."

"It's so ignorant. Do your daughters rarely go to school?" Tang Xiaonan asked.

"There are very few, and I only went to school for one or two years. Some of them didn't go to school for a day, and the government couldn't control it, and they didn't engage in family planning. Many of them gave birth to four or five. They sold their daughters until they were four or five years old, and exchanged a bride price to build a house for their son and married a wife. The biggest role of their daughter in our place is to work like animals, and sell them for money when they are old."

Ding Chunlan smiled self-deprecatingly, "I was almost sold at the beginning. Fortunately, I fought for death and met my mentor again. He paid for me to go to school and found the local government. I could only read it. But our village has only one woman, and no other women have come out. They get married and have children early. Several girls who grew up with me have died."

"They are about the same age as you. They are in their early forties, so how can they die?" Tang Xiaonan felt incredible. Is the average life expectancy there so low?

Ding Chunlan looked heartbroken and sighed: "I probably checked it out in the past two days. One was beaten to death by her husband, the other died of dysfunction, and the other died of drinking pesticides because she could not bear the abuse of her husband and mother-in-law. These three grew up with me and were all dead."
