Chapter 1173: Chapter 372: You’re Not My Mother_3

Si Nier was not particularly striking in appearance, so the trafficker sold her to a wealthy household in Yongzhou as a maid. Originally, this was not a bad situation, at least she wouldn’t starve to death, but the household had many people and many rules. Young Si Nier, with no connections and coming from the wild, could only be the lowest-ranking fire-tending maid.

However, the infighting within the household was so intense that somehow it spread to the kitchen, and Si Nier, confused, was pushed out as the scapegoat. Being young and timid, she could never commit the wicked deed of poisoning someone. Nevertheless, to quell the situation, the family had her beaten with ten boards and sold her off.

A six-year-old child, after being beaten with ten boards, almost lost half her life. Barely recovering, she was immediately sold by the trafficker to another. After being passed around five or six times, Si Nier was brought to Jing City by the trafficker and sold to a textile mill.

The textile mill employed men and women, adults and children alike. At first, Si Nier was too young to do heavy labor, so she was responsible for cleaning. But unexpectedly, there was a very perverted man inside who took pleasure in molesting little girls.

Si Nier was not the prettiest, but she was delicate and charming, and caught the eye of that perverted man. She was no fool and knew a girl’s body should not be touched randomly. When the pervert cornered her and tried to take off her pants, she picked up a rock from the ground and smashed his head in.

Blood was everywhere, the man’s howls of pain and his vile curses and threats stimulated Si Nier’s fragile heart. That time, she was hugely traumatized, and later, when the mill’s manager punished her, she was locked up in a pitch-dark room for three days and nights without seeing anyone, eating a grain of rice, or drinking a drop of water. The fear and terror she bore during those days almost crushed her.

The perverted man, having suffered a serious loss, refused to let Si Nier go. Taking advantage of his relation to the manager, he found various excuses to beat and humiliate her every day. For a child not yet ten years old, those years were like hell on Earth.

From that time on, Si Nier became a different person entirely, no longer acting like a child. She was wary of everyone and constantly thought of escaping. Finally, on a day of heavy snowfall last year, she managed to flee from that demon cave. Perhaps God took pity on her, allowing her to luckily encounter Little Black on his way home, who then brought her back.

Xue Tuanzi sympathized with Si Nier’s ordeal and sighed, "Those past experiences were too tragic. It’s a wonder how this little girl survived! She harbors resentment in her heart, and that’s why she won’t acknowledge her biological mother."

Mo Yan listened, her heart also aching. What kind of extremities had this timid child endured to be so completely transformed? Such experiences would likely cause any child to resent their closest kin, blaming them for giving her life but failing to protect her and leaving her to be tormented and humiliated, worse than death, when she was defenseless.

Seeing that Mo Yan’s face didn’t look too good, Xue Tuanzi comforted her, "Don’t worry. Even though the little girl’s resentment towards the Wu family is real, her memory confusion still left her with recollections of her mother and elder sister. It shows they are still in her heart, she just needs time, that’s all. They’re bound to be reunited one day."

Mo Yan shook her head, "It’s not that I’m worried about. Si Nier’s mindset is clearly not right, and I’m afraid it will affect her future life. Moreover, if Aunt Wu finds out about these experiences, I fear she won’t be able to handle it..."

"These are not issues you can solve just by worrying!" Xue Tuanzi was indifferent, "After suffering so much, it’s right for her biological mother to know, so she will cherish her more in the future! Besides, Wu is not as fragile as you think. Even if the little girl spills everything, Wu may be upset but won’t do anything foolish."

Mo Yan nodded, acknowledging Xue Tuanzi’s words. If Si Nier wanted to recognize her mother and return to the Wu family, everyone would be overjoyed. But if she didn’t, Mo Yan had no place to persuade her otherwise.

San Ni’s criticism of Si Nier continued, but throughout, Si Nier didn’t so much as blink, as if it wasn’t her who was being accused of heartlessness and cruelty.

"San Ni, Little Yu is your sister. The hardships she’s endured these past years are beyond what you can imagine. You can’t accuse her like this!" Lixiu couldn’t stand the accusations any longer, tightly grasping Si Nier’s hand, stepping forward to argue.
