Chapter 104 Liang Xiaoxia's Tragedy
She was 6 years old at the time, and her younger brother Liang Xiaohao was 5 years old.

By then, Liang Xiaohao had been spoiled rotten by her parents and had no affection for her older sister at all. She treated her like a servant and always ordered Liang Xiaoxia around. When she made mistakes, she would blame it on Liang Xiaoxia, causing her to be beaten by her parents a lot.

Five-year-old Liang Xiaohao became fascinated with playing with firecrackers.

His parents didn't stop him; at Liang Xiaohao's pleading, they would occasionally give him pocket money to buy things.

That day, she was sick with a fever and resting in bed when Liang Xiaohao came in with a string of firecrackers.

Then, Liang Xiaohao lit the firecrackers.

As if to wake her up, the firecrackers were thrown near her ears.

As a result, Liang Xiaoxia, who was ill, was suddenly awakened by the firecrackers and was injured in the explosion.

At that time, her ears were blown open and blood was flowing continuously.

At that moment, Liang Xiaoxia's world almost lost its sound.

When Liang Xiaohao saw her wake up, he wanted to laugh, but when he saw her bleeding ears, he realized the seriousness of the situation and ran away immediately.

Later, my parents, who had heard the commotion, ran in.

Did they take her to see it?

Yes, I took her to the clinic.

The clinic doctor could only give her simple external bandages; there was nothing they could do about the inside.

They said the eardrum was damaged and I need to get to a big hospital immediately for surgery; it can't be delayed.

Upon hearing that I would have to go to a large hospital and undergo surgery, I immediately hesitated.

That would definitely cost a lot of money.

But where would they get the money?

The little bit of savings I have from opening a breakfast shop is meant to be saved for my son's future wedding. How can I spend it now?
Borrowing money? That's even more out of the question.

So, after some discussion, they decided not to take Liang Xiaoxia with them.

Liang Xiaoxia, who was only 6 years old at the time, didn't really understand these things until she grew up.

Liang Xiaoxia was forced to drop out of school and start working when she was 12 years old. She thought that since her parents were unwilling to treat her, she would save money to treat her herself. Even if she couldn't be cured, it would be good to get a check-up first.

But every time she gets her salary, her parents always manage to take it away for various reasons.

Yes, they took advantage of her kindness and soft heart, leaving her almost penniless.

At the age of 16, she finally managed to get a checkup with several thousand yuan, but the final result was that due to the lack of timely treatment, there was no way to treat it anymore.

The doctor said that if surgery had been performed immediately after the explosion, there would have been a 100% chance of recovery. Even though the surgery would cost money, it wasn't a major procedure, and there was a very high probability of recovery.

Now, after 10 years, the best time for treatment has long passed, and there are still aftereffects from the initial bombing.

Therefore, even if surgery is performed now, there is no way to cure it.

At that moment, Liang Xiaoxia felt as if her world had collapsed.

There was no hope left.

Did Liang Xiaoxia ever resent her parents?

Perhaps there are some, but in the end, they can't overcome parental love.

Liang Xiaoxia remembered that her parents only beat Liang Xiaohao up and then let it go.

Having always been pampered by his parents and never been beaten, Leung Siu-ho came to hate her.

The hatred lasted for more than a decade.

However, Liang Xiaohao only got a beating, but she permanently lost her hearing.

However, Liang Xiaoxia never expected that even in her current state, her parents and Liang Xiaohao would still not let her go. She was only 19 years old, and suddenly they wanted her to marry someone—a mentally challenged man!
Liang Xiaoxia knew the reason.

It's all for Liang Xiaohao to get married.

Speaking of which, her younger brother was spoiled and never learned to behave well from a young age.

After graduating from junior high school, I refused to continue my studies or work. I spent my time idly outside, asking my parents for money whenever I needed it.

Not long ago, he suddenly came home and said that he had a girlfriend and that she was pregnant.

He said he wanted to marry her.

Her parents naturally agreed to their son's marriage.

They felt that since Liang Xiaohao was the only son in the family, he should get married as soon as possible and preferably have many sons to carry on the family line.

He was overjoyed when he heard that the woman was pregnant and carrying a boy.

They originally intended to take advantage of the woman's pregnancy, thinking they could marry her for free without paying a dowry.

But little did they expect that the woman and her parents were ruthless characters.

They bluntly stated that they demanded a dowry of 20 yuan plus a car, and if the daughter didn't agree, they would take her and have her abort the child.

When Liang Xiaohao and his parents heard about this plan, they immediately panicked.

Liang Xiaohao cried and made a scene, insisting on marrying this woman and begging his parents to find a way.

Although Liang's parents wanted to control him, they couldn't bear to part with their grandson.

But they simply can't afford the dowry of 20 yuan plus a car.

The couple ran a breakfast shop and started saving money after their son was born. They saved for nineteen years, but they only had a little over 100,000 yuan.

At most, it's just buying a car; where will the 20 yuan dowry come from?

"Why don't we marry Xiaoxia off?" Liang's mother suddenly suggested.

"Anyway, Xiaoxia is a girl, and she will definitely get married. Whether she gets married early or late, she will get married eventually. If she gets married early, maybe the other family will be willing to offer a higher dowry."

Liang Xiaoxia was only 19 years old, a time when girls are young and beautiful.

Although Liang Xiaoxia had hearing problems, it must be said that she had a pure and beautiful face.

“She’s the older sister. Now that her younger brother is having trouble getting married, she should do her part,” Liang’s mother said matter-of-factly.

Liang's mother's suggestion was quickly supported by Liang's father.

So they started spreading rumors, but they didn't inform or notify Liang Xiaoxia at all.

Of course, when they made the announcement, they also said that the bride price would be at least 30 yuan, and if they could afford that, the other conditions could be lowered.

Soon, people from the Wu family arrived, saying they hoped Liang Xiaoxia would become the wife of Wu's second son and offered a dowry of 30 yuan.

Of course, the second son of the Wu family also had some problems.

That's because I had a fever when I was little, and it damaged my brain.

After comparing various options, the Liang couple decided that the Wu family was a good choice.

Other families either offered too little dowry or looked down on Liang Xiaoxia because of her hearing problem.

The Wu family is good; they are wealthy. If Xiaoxia marries into the family, they will have another wealthy in-law, and Xiaohao will have another wealthy brother-in-law. They might even be able to help each other in the future.

As for the second son of the Wu family having intellectual disabilities? That's not a problem at all. Xiaoxia is also a disabled person with hearing problems.

So they excitedly told Liang Xiaoxia, but they never expected that Liang Xiaoxia would object so vehemently.

The Liang couple immediately berated her. After their beatings failed, Liang's mother tried a more gentle approach, patiently explaining the hardships her family and son faced, praising Liang Xiaoxia's kindness, and hoping she would soften her heart and agree.
