In Yang Qiu’s room
After the family left, Wang Xiangxiang no longer just sat back, but was helped by Yang Qiu to lie down in bed, as she was truly too weak.
Yang Qiu sat beside her and started to chat with Wang Xiangxiang, "Sister, just lie there, I’ll tell you about my past."
"Okay." Wang Xiangxiang thought Yang Qiu was going to talk about so interesting experiences she had had, so she agreed.
But unexpectedly, Yang Qiu talked about her tragic past. The young girl recounted how she had been bullied, starved, and beaten at her in-laws’ house from a young age.
Hearing this, Wang Xiangxiang’s tears began to swirl. This young girl had really lived a miserable life, enduring torture, and had almost died.
"But, in the end, I finally made it until my family ca to save ."
"Sister, I don’t know what you’ve been through, but I want to say, I survived such a life without ever thinking of suicide, and if I could make it through, you can definitely make it through too."
This statent made Wang Xiangxiang’s tears finally fall. The young girl actually revealed her scars, sharing her tragic past just to persuade her not to seek death.
Nobody would want to speak of such things again, she probably hadn’t even told her own family, but she did it for her, the young girl actually spoke up.
How could such an action not move Wang Xiangxiang? She reassured the young girl with comforting words, "Xiaoqiu, I’ve had a change of heart, I won’t seek death anymore."
Now that she had so many family mbers worried about her, she must live well. Living wasn’t necessarily just about getting married, there were lots and lots of things to do; she wanted to raise her younger brother and run the Cloth Shop well.
Hearing Wang Xiangxiang had gained a new perspective, Yang Qiu was very happy, feeling relieved her words hadn’t been in vain, "Sister, I’m glad you’ve seen things differently."
She had never ntioned these matters to anyone before, but now that she had spoken, she found her heart felt much more at ease; keeping things to oneself could indeed be suffocating.
She felt like she had found soone with whom she could share her troubles, and she beca more talkative, "Sister, actually when I first ca to this family, I was really upset, always feeling that my past ant my life was over."
Listening to Yang Qiu’s words, Wang Xiangxiang didn’t know how to console her since their situations were not much different.
"But now, I’ve moved on. My sister-in-law said, I can still find soone who truly cares for , and now I am full of hope for the future."
Wang Xiangxiang had heard Xiaoxiao say similar things; could it really be true? She was skeptical, but the young girl in front of her seed to believe it.
"My sister-in-law said, if I take a liking to soone, I can pursue them actively."
"Do you have soone you like?" Wang Xiangxiang was surprised, as Xiaoqiu seed quiet and calm, yet Xiaoxiao had bravely encouraged her in this matter.
The young girl pouted, "Not yet, because I haven’t had the chance to go out."
"You want to go out?"
"Yeah, I’ve never been out of Yang Family Village."
The village was already sparsely populated, providing little opportunity for Xiaoqiu. Seeing Xiaoqiu’s hopeful eyes about the future, Wang Xiangxiang really wanted to help this poor young girl, "Sister will take you out."
Yang Qiu just found soone she could confide in, hence she voiced her thoughts. Unexpectedly when she ntioned taking her out, she felt a mix of anticipation and hesitation, "Sister, I haven’t dared to tell my family about these thoughts."
"No worries, when the ti cos I’ll just say you’re helping out at the Cloth Shop."
