Chapter 1
Zhiersniang, how can you continue working here? Your family had an accident, you havent come back yet.
Zhao Lan straightened her sore waist, but still hold the wheat seeds in her hands: Theres still a little work left. Ill go back as soon as I finish. What happened in our family?
You still want to work? Your daughter has been killed. Lets go and you take a look ah. Hu Changlin said with a worried face.
Zhao Lanwas stunned. But then, she quickly threw away the wheat seeds in her hands and come up to the terrain of the field: What did you just say?
Hu Changlinsighed: While you are working in the field, your mother-in-law and sister-in-law forcefully tied your daughter and planned to sell her to the sick son of Wu Family in the town. Your daughter refused, so she was beaten to death. When I heard shes not breathing, I came here to
Hu Changlinhasnt finished his words, butZhao Lanalready runs in a hurry.

There were many people outside the Bai Familys house, and these people continue whispering near their courtyard.
WhenZhao Lanrushed inside, she saw her daughter lying on the straw mat with no breath.
Zhao Lans legs soften, and she stumbled next to her daughters body. She took her cold hand and looked at her daughters wounded face.Zhao Lanwas heartbroken, she wanted to cry out loud, but she could only open her mouth, as her tears keep falling down.
The Bai Familys first daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, came out of the house and saw the third daughter-in-law of the family came back. She raised an eyebrow, as her grim face showed a dissatisfied look: How come you are here? Have you finished the work in the field? If not, then dont think about eating at night.
Zhao Lans eyes were red. Her face was full of anger. She turned her head and shouted to Mrs. Liu: Who made my daughter like this? Who is it?!
Mrs. Liu was shocked,Zhao Lanhas always been silent and allowed herself to be bullied. No matter how much she scolded and forced her to work, she never heard her complain, nor yell at her like this.
What are you yelling for? Its me andniang, so what? Huh? Who told her to be disobedient? The Bai Family had spent a lot of food to raise her to grow up this big. But she dared not listen to her grandmother and aunt?!
Mrs. Lius said with killing intent. In anger,Zhao Lancrawled up to ground and rushed toward Mrs. Liu. She then slapped her face with both hands again and again: I work like a horse all day long. But you still dare calculate my daughters food? Didnt we earn every meal you give us? There were several people in the family, but only I do the work. I work alone, but have you ever heard a single complain to my mouth?
She was only twelve! She was only twelve!
Mrs.Liu was beaten byZhao Lans every slap. She had been married into this family for a long time, but she was never been beaten like this. Especially, not in front of so many people in the village. Mrs. Liu sat down on the ground with her butt and shouted: Beat me, come on, beat me to death, come!
Seeing the lively show, the villagers outside the courtyard couldnt help but shook their head: To have such a sister-in-law and mother-in-law,Zhao Lanwas really unlucky.
Originally, the work in the field was done by the Bai familys three sons. But, when Old Bai and the third son died, the work fell to the youngest daughter-in-law. Say, regarding this matter, the second son also has a daughter, right? Which is a bit much older. So, why they didnt sell that child first?
The sick bully picked this child.
