Chapter 52: The daughter who was sold became rich I (Part 1)

Li Hehua was bowing to the host she was serving: “I’m sorry, I’ve caused you so much trouble, I can only give up halfway.”

“It’s okay, thank you for your honesty, otherwise it would be troublesome when the group of people from your husband’s family blocked my door.” The hostess said: “This is a bonus for you, don’t think it’s too little.”

Li Hehua looked at the stack of money, didn’t dare to take it, but bowed to the hostess: “I’m sorry to cause you trouble, how dare I take this money.”

The hostess forcefully stuffed the money into Li Hehua’s hand: “Sister-in-law Li, this money is not much, just a little thought from me. I have used so many live-in nannies, and you are the one who pleases me the most. To be honest, if it weren’t for the things in your family, I want to keep you.”

The hostess felt sorry for her. Li Hehua was very hardworking and never had time to rest. The house was cleaned up.

The most important thing was that she was very kind. Her daughter wants to eat salt-baked shrimp, but Li Hehua doesn’t know how to make it, so she goes to school. Many people in the community wanted to snatch her nanny away. The hostess wanted to curse and say that they could snatch her husband, but couldn’t snatch her nanny!

But the hostess had to give up such a nanny because of her bad family affairs.

Li Hehua’s family was very poor. As the eldest sister, she was nagged every day to help the family, so she has taken care of her younger brothers and sisters since she was a child. When she grew up, she did most of the work for the family.

Li Hehua, who worked for the Li Family, didn’t get married until she was 30 years old. The man she married was not from a wealthy family. He was a lame man over 40 years old. She married him only because his family used all their money to marry a daughter-in-law.

Not long after getting married, Li Hehua became pregnant.

As a result, her husband favored boys over girls and sold her daughter when she was in confinement.

Li Hehua had a severe postpartum hemorrhage and could not move at all. When she was able to move, the child had been sold for several days. She forced herself to go back to her parent’s home, hoping that her family would seek justice for her and mobilize all their strength to find the child, but her family did not stand by her side.

Father Li knocked the table with his pipe and said disapprovingly: “For a girl, it’s not necessary, to live a good life. Since you like children, take care of your body and have another one.”

Mother Li also said: “If you lose the child, you can have another one. Hehua, you also said that your life is hard. What’s the point of having another girl as the eldest child in the family and living such a hard life with you?”

Li Hehua’s body trembled. She didn’t want her child to live the same life as she did, but she always felt that this was a bit wrong. Would it be better if her daughter was sold?

“Dad, Mom, let my sister stay here first.” The younger brother said: “My sister hasn’t finished her confinement yet.”

The younger brother also winked at Li Hehua, and when there was no one around, he said: “Don’t worry, sister, I’m on your side, just stay at home with peace of mind.”

Li Hehua felt that it was good that she took out all her money to help her younger brother get married, at least her younger brother had a conscience, but she didn’t expect that when she got up that same night, she heard what her younger brother and his parents said.

“Divorce is okay. The eldest sister has given birth to a child, proving that she is fertile. You remember the coal boss in our town. His wife can’t give birth. I know his wife. His wife wants to find someone to help her give birth to a few children, they will pay for each child. The eldest sister is not good-looking, so it’s a good opportunity to do this. There’s no need to worry about the coal boss falling in love with someone else. As long as she is still the coal boss’s wife in her heart, it’s fine.”

Mother Li said: “What? This, this is too embarrassing. Let your sister be a mistress without a name or status?”

Father Li said: “Don’t interrupt, I’ll talk to Xu’er.”

Father Li took a puff of dry tobacco, then said: “Xu’er, is this okay? At that time, your eldest brother-in-law’s family gave a betrothal gift of 200,000 yuan. Now they have just been married for a year, and they will divorce. They will ask for money. That money is spent for you to marry a wife, so there’s not much left.”

“They sold their child, which is abduction and trafficking! It’s illegal. Do they still want us to give them a dowry? If they dare to ask, we’ll sue them! With this threat, I don’t believe they dare to ask us for a dowry.” The younger brother’s voice was a little excited.

He added: “After the elder sister got divorced and stayed at home, letslet’ssuade her again. Maybe she would agree. That’s money. I won’t forget her for doing this. When she gets old, I will take care of her.”

Li Hehua shuddered. She had paid so much for her younger brother, but her younger brother wanted to suck her out of her and make her a person who can’t stand up to the public. She would die with shame.

That night, Li Hehua took her things and left home.

Li Hehua was not well-educated. She started out working in a factory, but there were too many fellow villagers in the factory. Once, Li Hehua saw her husband coming from afar, so she immediately gave up her salary for that month and ran away.

After this time, she didn’t dare to enter the factory. The factory was a small society, which was organized according to the hometowns. This time, a fellow villager told her about her lame husband. What should she do next time?

She was not well-educated, and she did odd jobs for others, such as cleaning, removing manure, painting walls, and carrying. She did all these and finally found the most suitable career for her – nanny.

Li Hehua started working as like nanny in the Li Family at the age of seven. She was very hardworking and found a suitable career track. Her salary soared all the way, and the host family had a very high evaluation. Li Hehua worked as a nanny for more than ten years and accumulated a small amount of wealth. She even bought herself a small house when the house price was relatively low. She had no children and a marriage certificate, but couldn’t find someone to marry, so she planned to use this house to support herself in her old age.

Li Hehua had planned everything well, but in the highly developed modern society, she saw a short video on Doudou. Someone nearby filmed himself and uploaded it to the Internet. What made her shudder was that in the comment section, there was a person named [The Lame Man Whose Wife Ran Away] who claimed to be her husband and asked the person who posted the short video about the specific situation.

She clicked on the account [The Lame Man Whose Wife Ran Away], and saw a man in his sixties filming videos, with songs that middle-aged and elderly people like.

Looked at the corresponding information again, and the person was indeed her lame husband.

It turns out that after Li Hehua ran away, he never gave up looking for her. The lame man also saw Li Hehua at the factory, because he couldn’t run fast due to his lame legs, otherwise he would have caught up with Li Hehua.

In the short video, the lame man sighed and said that if there was any news about Li Hehua, he would tie her up with a rope and take her home.

The lame man felt that he spent money to marry a wife, but his wife ran away. The whole family waited at the door of the Li Family and asked the Li Family to raise the lame man.

Of course, the Li Family refused. They wanted to sue the lame man for selling their daughter, but there was no evidence to prove that it was the lame man who sold the child. The two families argued for a while, and finally, the Li Family gave part of the money.

For this reason, the Li Family also wanted to find their daughter who ran away, and they hoped that Li Hehua would make up for the money.
