Chapter 264 On the way to pull soybeans
Zhan Mengyan was lying on the donkey cart, listening to the chirping of birds in the trees, biting grass leaves in her mouth, crossing her legs, humming a little tune, feeling so leisurely...
"Zhan Mengyan, you haven't been home for so long. Why don't you give your sister any news? Don't you miss home or your sister at all?" Zhan Yingying asked.
Zhan Mengyan sat up and said, "I started to miss home the day I ran away. How could I not miss my sister? Early in the morning of the day I left, I went to see my sister who was sleeping soundly. Along the way, I remembered when we were little, we returned to Heilongjiang from my uncle's house in Liaoning to find my father and mother. We were almost sold by human traffickers... This time I left home to go to high school in the county town. I was about to give up, but when I thought about how we were so young at that time and it was difficult to overcome difficulties and travel more than 3,000 miles to get home, my courage doubled, and I finally persisted for nearly two months. I waited until my father and mother agreed to let me go to school..."
Zhan Yingying cracked the whip, making a "crack" sound, and the donkey ran forward happily. Zhan Yingying said sadly: "Zhan Mengyan, you still miss the days when we shared hardships together when we were young. Why didn't you tell your sister when you ran away from home? Why don't you believe that your sister will help you as always? You would rather believe outsiders than your sister? How can you trust Zhang Xincheng so much and give yourself to him? Aren't you worried that he will betray you?"
Zhan Mengyan was so surprised by the question that she opened her mouth wide. After a long while, she spoke: "I...I...how could I not believe my sister? How did you know that it was Zhang Xincheng who helped her escape from home? Did he tell you?"
"So it was really Zhang Xincheng who helped you dig a hole and sneak out of our house through the back door. I looked for Zhang Xincheng several times to inquire about you, but he kept his mouth shut and refused to say a word. He insisted that he didn't know anything and that whether you went to school or not had nothing to do with him. Wait until you come back for the holiday at the end of the month and see how I deal with Zhang Xincheng!" Zhan Yingying said angrily.
"Zhan Yingying, you dare to blackmail me?" Zhan Mengyan said as she tickled Zhan Yingying.
"Stop it, stop it, be careful not to make the donkey hairy." Zhan Yingying dodged quickly and put away the whip and said, "Zhan Mengyan, I know you too well. With your courage, if no one gives you advice and helps you escape, you will definitely not be able to do it by yourself. Zhan Zixun is a selfish and cowardly person. He only wants to go to school and won't care about you. Those brothers are all taking care of their own families and have no time and energy to take care of you. I guess only Zhang Xincheng can help you. He always comes to our house during the summer vacation. I guess he is thinking about how to rescue you to go to school. I told him a long time ago that our family can't afford your schooling. Tell him not to do it first. Let me tell you, I saw that he looked very sad, as if you were his biological sister, so I guessed that he would make plans for you, but I didn’t expect that he would sneak you away. This method is too extreme! I asked him, but he still had a dead pig’s face and refused to admit it. I am your biological sister, can I betray my own sister? When I asked about your schooling, he not only made excuses and said that he didn’t know, but also advised me not to worry about you, saying that you have grown up and are independent and capable, and don’t need others to take care of you. I wanted to go to the county high school to inquire about you, but he also advised me not to go, saying that the best help I could give you was not to bother you and to prevent your parents from going to school to bother you.
