Chapter 539: The Poor Woman Whose Child Was Sacrificed on the Road to Escape (1)
[Okay! ] Tuanzi responded.
Soon, a ragged, thin woman appeared in front of Su Li.
The woman was covered in mud and looked blankly at the vague white surroundings. She looked at Su Li and said, "Girl, where is this? Why am I here?"
"This is a dream-fulfilling space. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can tell me and I will help you fulfill them. Then you can be reincarnated." Su Li said to her softly.
"Dream-fulfilling space? Then can you save my child? My child was killed by them! They are so cruel, they actually..." The woman couldn't continue, her voice choked with sobs.
The black energy around her increased, and her eyes became somewhat lost.
Obviously, her child has become her obsession and her heart knot.
Su Li sighed, and a wisp of spiritual energy dispelled some of the dark energy on her body, "Don't worry, just talk slowly."
The woman calmed down for a moment and choked up again, "My children, they were sacrificed by them. Can you save them and let them live well? And those beasts who killed us, let them get the retribution they deserve, okay?"
"Of course, but I need to make a copy of your memory." Su Li nodded.
After the woman agreed, Su Li extracted her memory and began to read it.
The woman's name was Song Qiuyue, and she was born and raised in a farming family.
Because he was diligent and capable since childhood, he was noticed by the Ma family in the same village.
Ma's father was an old scholar. When he grew older, he worked as a private school teacher in the village, teaching the children in the village to read and write.
He had an only son, who passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the age of sixteen and was the pride of the village.
Song Qiuyue married Ma Decai, a young scholar who was praised by everyone in the village.
However, after getting married, she did not win Ma Decai's favor.
It was just because, in Ma Decai's eyes, she was just a peasant and was not worthy of him, a scholar.
Later, it was his accidental drunkenness that led to the birth of twins, a boy and a girl.
Ma Decai was very disgusted with the twin boy and girl and was unwilling to even hold them.
Song Qiuyue, who had been influenced by her environment since childhood, knew that scholars were noble, and at first she thought that she was indeed marrying above her station.
Therefore, she worked hard to improve herself. In addition to working, she often went to her father-in-law's private school to audit and learn calligraphy.
Gradually, she learned some words.
Later, she used the copper coins she had saved to buy a book from the market to learn how to read.
Perhaps the bookseller tricked her by selling her a book of unofficial history.
However, she learned a lot from the storybook.
I learned that women can be independent and self-reliant and pursue true love.
She secretly made up her mind to find an opportunity to break away from the Ma family.
From then on, she worked even harder, collecting firewood, gathering herbs, doing housework, etc., and quietly saved a lot of copper coins.
She didn't dare to keep the copper coins at the Ma family, and put them all in a remote place in the village.
And so she waited for her chance to leave.
In the fifth year after the child was born, the opportunity finally came and Ma Decai passed the imperial examination.
Suddenly, the entire Ma family's attitude towards Song Qiuyue changed!
Even the boy among the twins was disliked by the old couple of the Ma family.
Until one day, she accidentally heard Ma Decai say to his parents, "Dad, Mom, the county magistrate's daughter has taken a fancy to me and plans to marry me. Let's get rid of Song!"
"But if we drive the Song family away, there will be no one to work for us!" Old Mrs. Ma said hesitantly.
Ever since they brought Song Qiuyue home, the Ma couple and Ma Decai have never worked again.
It's the kind of thing that never involves any effort.
"Mother, when I marry the county magistrate's daughter, she has servants at home, so how can there be no one to work?" Ma Decai retorted.
Listening to what the Ma family said, Song Qiuyue knew that it was time for her to leave.
Sure enough, the next day, Ma Decai sent her and her two children out of the Ma family with a letter of divorce.
Before leaving, Old Mrs. Ma searched the three mothers thoroughly, fearing that they would take away some valuables from the Ma family.
In the end, they were not even allowed to take away a change of clothes.
Fortunately, she was well prepared and after leaving, she went to take out the copper coins that she had hidden long ago.
Song Qiuyue took her two children to find the village head and rented a relatively intact house in the village to live in.
As for why she didn't go back to her parents' home in the same village, it was because her parents' home was also a tiger's den.
The reason why she had a reputation for being hardworking was because she had no choice.
Her parents are partial to each other, and her brother is supposed to bring honor to the family, so he can't work.
Even though he was not good at studying, his parents made him go to a private school every day.
Her younger sister, who is one year younger than her, is a mischievous girl. Her little mouth can make her parents fall in love with her.
Therefore, all the work at home and outside fell on her.
If it weren't for the fact that she was favored by the Ma family and the Song family could tie the land to the Ma family's name to reduce taxes, the Song family would never let her get married easily.
Now that she has been divorced by the Ma family, if she goes back with her child, her fate will definitely not be good.
Either she was immediately found a home, or the two children were sold.
How could she bear to do that?
So, she decided to live there alone with her child and make plans later.
The head of the village told her that if she did not want to return to her parents' home, she could set up a female household with her child, and then she could buy a few acres of cheap land in the village to plant crops.
Of course Song Qiuyue was willing, so she established a female household, bought a few acres of land, and raised her child to support the family.
When Mrs. Ma learned that she still had money to buy land, she came to her house and made a big fuss, accusing her of stealing the Ma family's money.
She argued that she had searched the house when she left and did not know when she had stolen anything from the Ma family.
However, Old Mrs. Ma didn't care and insisted that she had stolen the Ma family's money.
"If you make such a fuss and ruin your son's reputation, will the county magistrate's daughter still marry him?"
In order to stop Old Lady Ma from making a fuss, she threatened directly, "If you make a fuss again, I will file a complaint at the county government office, saying that Ma Decai abandoned his wife and children for wealth and fame. Do you think his career will be smooth?"
Old Mrs. Ma and Old Man Ma, who had been silent, were shocked.
They originally thought that Song Qiuyue's father was a peasant woman and was very difficult to control.
But I didn't expect her to be able to say these words, and she suddenly lost her previous arrogance.
Afterwards, the village head arrived and the two of them went back to the Ma family along the stairs.
In the following days, her mother and her brother and sister-in-law persuaded her to go back, saying that they would find a good family for her.
She rejected them all.
Not long after, the Ma family married the daughter of County Magistrate Luo in great ceremony.
However, things did not turn out as the Ma family had expected.
The people that Miss Luo brought with her as a dowry were only willing to serve her and were unwilling to work like a slave for the Ma family.
