Chapter 520 Let's become sisters
"Home? Stop pretending, get out of here. I don't want to see the Cheng family." Guo Miaomiao's eyes showed nothing but disgust and resentment.
Du Mingxian could see clearly that this girl had absolutely no feelings for the Cheng family.
"Miaomiao, I'm doing this for your own good. Please listen to my advice."
Guo Miaomiao simply closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to see it and be bothered by it.
Madam Cheng spoke at length, but received no response. Seeing that Madam Cheng was not responding, Du Mingxian could only step forward and advise, "Go back first, the child doesn't want to listen to you."
Madam Cheng's tears streamed down her face again. "May I have my mother come?"
Du Mingxian hesitated for a moment, "This..."
If everyone were to go into the jail for a quick look, wouldn't that cause chaos? Besides, Ling Silang plans to use torture today. If all these people's attempts to persuade him are ineffective, it would be faster to just use torture.
"Madam, I beg you, my mother is very worried about her."
"Alright then, I'll only give you half an hour. Go back and pick her up now. I'll wait for you here. If it's still no use when she arrives, you'll have to give up."
"Alright, I'll head back right away." Madam Cheng left in a hurry.
Du Mingxian sat directly outside the cell, as if waiting for someone.
Guo Miaomiao, on the other hand, was quite curious about Du Mingxian. She had been incredibly bored since coming in, and now that she saw someone willing to sit down, she didn't care about the other person's status and just wanted to chat for a bit.
"You actually agreed to let the old man come? It's pointless for him to come. How could I possibly listen to them?"
"Resentment? Angry that they abandoned you in the countryside for so many years?"
"Of course, I could have been a prostitute in the county, but they insisted on sending me to the countryside. Do they know what kind of life I had in the countryside?"
Guo Miaomiao laughed as she spoke, “Before I had the ability to resist, I ate the least and did the most every day, and I was often beaten and scolded by them.”
“I’m clearly a member of the Guo family, so why did they send me away? Every time I go back for holidays, my cousins laugh at me, saying I’m a wild country girl and don’t deserve to eat with them.”
“They could have ignored me, but they insisted on pretending to be kind and saying they loved me, and made me grow up in the countryside. They were so hypocritical, so incredibly hypocritical.”
Seeing that she was on the verge of a breakdown, Du Mingxian thought of herself and felt a pang of sympathy.
“You have lost your parents, and the love others have for you is always limited. Your grandmother is not just your grandmother; she also has other grandchildren.”
“Your maternal grandmother also has her own grandchildren, so no one is anyone else’s only one; only one’s own parents are.”
"But I'm different. Even though I have a biological father, it would be better if I didn't."
Upon hearing this, Guo Miaomiao got excited and immediately stood up from the ground, looking at Du Mingxian with great interest, "Tell me about it."
“I am the girl in the family. My mother was injured when she gave birth to me, so my father treats my cousin much better than me. He said that he will rely on my cousin to take care of him in his old age.”
“Even my cousin receives more of my father’s favor than I do.”
“When we got married, my father didn’t give me anything, but he secretly gave my cousin two taels of silver, fearing that she would suffer losses and be wronged after marriage.”
"So you're much luckier than me."
When Guo Miaomiao heard that someone was even worse off than her, she felt inexplicably pleased, and even a little bit of superiority. "You're really pitiful, but you're doing pretty well now."
“Great, my life is so good now. My husband treats me well, but in public everyone knows that we are very loving, but in private he beats and scolds me.”
"Then you should divorce him."
"I dare not. What can a woman like me do? He is still an official. What kind of person can I find if I leave him? It's just that I met him when we were both nobody. Otherwise, I wouldn't be the wife of him."
Guo Miaomiao sighed deeply, feeling very sympathetic. "You are so pitiful. Although I am also unhappy, my maternal grandmother's family dares not go too far. My grandmother will give them money, and they are afraid that I will complain."
"Yes, at least you still have someone who cares about you. My grandma... wishes I were dead, so she could make way for my cousin and have him adopted by my dad."
"You're not their biological child?"
“Absolutely the real deal.” Du Mingxian sighed. “You are luckier than me. A biased father, a sick mother, a vicious grandmother, a scheming grandfather, a stupid uncle, a selfish aunt, a pretending cousin, a stupid and wicked older cousin, a vicious younger cousin, and poor me.”
"Let's become sworn sisters. I'll protect you and make sure you don't suffer."
Du Mingxian was dumbfounded. "What did you say? Sworn sisters, and you're supposed to protect me? You're still in jail yourself, how can you protect me?"
"You're not trying to trick me into protecting you, are you? Let me tell you, I don't have the guts. My family gets really fierce when they're angry. I'm scared, and I wouldn't dare let you go."
"Don't worry, I won't let you let me go. Look at you, you coward."
Du Mingxian wasn't angry at all when she was disliked; instead, she acted even more timid.
Guo Miaomiao said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I think they will definitely rescue me. I may not be good at much else, but I have a good eye for people."
"Are you kidding me? Because of those people, you're in jail now, and you still say you have a good eye for people? You've got a serious problem, okay?"
Guo Miaomiao was unwilling to admit it, "Don't worry, I think they will definitely find a way to save me. They are very powerful, with money and status."
"Alright, don't tell me these things. I'm still the wife of the county magistrate. If you tell me these things, I won't be able to help but tell the officials."
"Isn't that a bit much? Aren't we sisters? Are you going to betray me?"
"When did we become sisters?"
"Just now."
This is far too hasty.
"Your grandma will be here soon."
"Let her come. The old lady will just cry a few words. Let her cry. She cries every time she sees me anyway, crying about her dead son and saying I look like her son."
"Sigh, the old lady doesn't really care about me. If she did, she wouldn't have let me grow up in the countryside. I guess it's just my aunt's wishful thinking. The old lady won't come."
Du Mingxian had a feeling the old lady would come, after all, she was the only bloodline left by her son. "Let's wait a little longer, I feel she will come."
"Then let's wait. But we sisters have to agree on this: if she doesn't come, you have to prepare a good meal for me. I haven't been eating well lately. If she does come, I'll have her prepare it for me."
"Okay, I'll prepare it for you."
"thank you."
"Just don't try to trap me."
"No, I'm thinking that since the situation is unclear, I should eat something good if I can. What if... what if they kill me because of what I'm involved in? If I don't get anything good to eat, I might not be able to rest in peace even as a ghost."
