The 1960s: The Story of a Country Girl's Journey to the City

Bao Ya told her to wash her face first, then sit down and talk slowly.

Liu Ya was very anxious and wanted to pull Bao Ya away immediately, but Bao Ya sat back down to eat slowly. There was nothing she could do, so she washed her face and sat down to talk slowly.

"Ever since my second sister married into the Lu family, they have treated her badly. Last winter, she miscarried, and they said it was Lu Lao Er who aborted her. His sister-in-law and mother-in-law also joined in tormenting her."

Someone just came to tell me that the Lü family beat my second sister again, and she's still locked in the woodshed. They haven't even given her a sip of water yet, sob sob sob…”

Liu Ya started crying again as she spoke.

Bao Ya wasn't surprised at all. This wasn't something that had happened overnight; why was she only crying today?

"What's the explanation for your last miscarriage? Didn't your parents go to see a doctor?"

"My mother went to see him, and said that a barefoot doctor examined him."

Liu Ya bit her lip and said that she secretly resented her parents for being so useless, but what could she and her sister do with such parents?

Bao Ya frowned when she heard her mention barefoot doctors. They might be okay for minor ailments like headaches or fevers, but they couldn't handle miscarriages; you had to go to the hospital, and incomplete miscarriages could lead to long-term health problems.

"Liu Ya, it's not that I don't want to help you, but no matter what, your parents have to make the decision."

What's the point of me recklessly taking people there and beating them up?

They'll definitely retaliate even more severely against Er Ya later. Your parents might even blame me for meddling.

Let your parents make a decision first; it's for Er Ya's own good.

If you want to pull Er Ya out of that hellhole, you have to make them divorce and bring Er Ya back.

If you don't want to bring Er Ya back, you might as well leave her alone.

You two should discuss it and then have your father come to me in person.

"As long as they agree, I will definitely rescue Er Ya from that hellhole."

"Sister Baoya, how can I tell them? What if my parents don't agree?"

Liu Ya muttered softly, tears streaming down her face. She knew Bao Ya was right, but she couldn't persuade her parents.

"If they don't want to, just tell them that after you and Wuya get married, you'll never come back. As for your parents and brothers, just pretend they're all dead and don't expect them to come see you."

Lin Lao Er's youngest son is his weakness. They have fallen out with the eldest branch of the Lin family, but their relationship with Lin Lao San is still relatively good. However, the third branch has its own son, and if anything happens, they will definitely prioritize their own son.

He could only rely on his daughter to help his youngest son. If his daughter lost her affections and no one helped his youngest son, this was something Lin Lao Er could not accept.

Liu Ya stared blankly at Bao Ya, forgetting even to cry for a moment. Finally, she gritted her teeth and nodded heavily.

"Okay, I'll go tell them right away."

Liu Ya's voice was deep, as if she had made up her mind. After speaking, she turned around and ran into the field.

Bao Ya raised an eyebrow as she watched her retreating figure. The Lin family members all had a rebellious streak; it was hard to say about other things, but blind filial piety was absolutely out of the question.

Even Lin Lao Er, who had always pretended to be honest and simple, would seize the opportunity to break free from Lin Lao Han's grasp, and the next generation would surpass him even further.

"Sis, you really aren't going to help them?"

Seeing that Liu Ya had left, the monkey approached Bao Ya and said something.

"Yes, sis, we'll go with you to rescue them. We'll definitely be able to bring them back."

Zhang Kangmei was eager to try it out. Working every day was too boring, and finally something new was coming her way.

"It depends on what they say. By the way, did you bring back your red armbands?"

Bao Ya's red armband belongs to the neighborhood committee, but these little brats' red armbands are from the real Revolutionary Committee.

During that period of political movements, they each got one and wore it on their arms every day while patrolling the residential compound.

"We brought them, we even brought the uniforms. What, are we going to hold a big meeting for them today?"

The monkeys were unusually excited. In the past, they would follow others around and help maintain order when others held events. Now that they had a chance to go on stage, they would definitely not let it pass.

"Get ready first. After we leave, Grandpa Niu will drive the cart to take you there."

"Hey, sis, you haven't agreed to their proposal yet, so why are you telling us to prepare first? What if your second uncle doesn't agree?"

Ding Xiaopang shook his little head and asked, he had heard it clearly just now.

"My second uncle will definitely go. Everyone's in the fields right now, and Liuya will definitely be shouting it out so everyone knows."

Apart from the unreliable couple Lin Laosan and Su Ruyi, none of the Lin family members are fools; it's just a matter of their perspective.

Wu Ya and Liu Ya were raised by Er Ya, and their bond with Er Ya was even stronger than their bond with their parents.

Did Mr. and Mrs. Lin have any affection for their daughters? Yes, but not much. In their view, the daughters' main role was to help their son.

When such a thing comes to her door, Bao Ya can't ignore it. As long as she returns to the village, she has to take action.

Putting aside how much Wuya and Liuya took care of her when she first transmigrated, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing because they both shared the surname Lin.

Even if they aren't relatives, and the two families have fought so fiercely that they're no longer on friendly terms, as long as they still live in the same village, if one family dies, the other family still has to help.

When things are going well, you don't have to fawn over others, but when someone is down on their luck, you absolutely cannot kick them while they're down. When it's time to lend a hand, you should.

As they finished eating and were clearing the table, Lin Lao Er and Lin Lao San arrived at their doorstep with a group of people.

"Bao Ya, the Lü family beat Er Ya again. Let's go and bring Er Ya back together."

Before Lin Lao Er could speak, Lin Lao San rushed over and spoke to Bao Ya.

"Dad, don't worry, let me ask my second uncle a few questions first."

Bao Ya stopped her adoptive father from continuing, then turned to look at Lin Lao Er:

"Second Uncle, the Lü family beat Er Ya again. What do you plan to do? Continue to let Er Ya suffer in their house, or should we make them divorce and bring Er Ya back?"

Bao Ya stared at Lin Lao Er, letting him speak for himself. Back in the Lin family, when the three branches of the family were causing trouble, Lin Lao Er would always hide in the back pretending to be filial, only making a move when there was something to gain.

Bao Ya directly made it clear to him that he had to make a choice, which was to cut off his escape route.

"Divorce? What will happen to Er Ya if we get divorced? Maybe we should teach the Lü family a lesson..."

Lin Lao Er put on his honest and simple look again, rubbing his hands together as he spoke to Bao Ya.

"Hmm, what you said makes sense, but as a married woman, it's not appropriate for me to get involved in your family's affairs. I need a reason to teach them a lesson."

How about this: I'll help you get revenge, and you give me a hundred yuan. If you bring Er Ya back, fifty yuan will do; the remaining fifty yuan can be considered a subsidy for Er Ya. What do you think?

When Bao Ya said she wanted 100 yuan, Lin Lao Er stared at her with anger in his eyes and said something rude.

"Bao Ya, you and Er Ya are cousins, how can you expect money after you helped her get revenge? That's completely unreasonable!"

"Second Uncle, don't you know what kind of family tradition our Lin family has? What are cousins ​​compared to you? You, as their own father, could watch Er Ya die, so how can I not find a reason to complain?"

If I make a scene, what will people say about me behind my back?

Besides, Er Ya is a girl who is neither loved by her father nor her mother. She will die sooner or later. Why should I bother?

It would be better if she died sooner, so she could be reborn into a better life and not meet those heartless parents again.
