Chapter 2: Da Ya's identity cannot be investigated

The little child's eyes were wide open.

In the weightlessness of the fall, the memories that were once deeply buried surged out.

She remembered.

The summer of the year she was four and a half years old, her mother had pushed her off the cliff on the way back to her grandmother's house.

She still couldn't understand why.

Mom had promised that after visiting her grandmother. Mom would bring her and her brother to the city to find their father so that she could go to kindergarten like her brother.

But her mother didn't want her anymore.

She fell into the river below the cliff. She didn't die, but her head was hit.

When she struggled back home in the Daqu village, no one was there.

No one was waiting for her.

...

Tears fell from the child's eyes and shattered in the air as she was falling.

The little girl closed her eyes and did not see a strange wind suddenly rolling over from the cliff, carrying her.

She also didn't see that the woman who was still grinning on the cliff was also swept down the cliff by the strange wind. The ferocity and brutality on her mean face were shattered, and she became terrified.

Before she fell unconscious, the little child heard a strange sound in her head again.

--- [Di di di! Warning! Warning!]

--- [The mainframe has detected that the system uses essential energy without permission. It is against the rules! Beginning punishment!]

The teenager sneered, his voice lazy and perverse. [What the hell are you punishing? Am I a system? I'm your father!]

Amid the noise of electric currents, the little child completely fainted.

The wind carried the little child and did not let her fall into the river at the foot of the mountain. Instead, it gently placed her on the soft green shore.

Not far from the riverbank was a winding stone path. The chains of the bicycle clicked as it approached from afar.

"Jianhe, look over there. Isn't there a little kid lying on the ground?" On the back seat of the bicycle, the old woman squinted her eyes and looked carefully. She hurriedly patted the middle-aged man on the bike.

Chen Jianhe also saw the strange situation over there. "Auntie, I'll go down and take a look. You wait up there. The road down there is too narrow. You don't have to come down."

"Hey, hurry up and go!"

...

On the other hand, Ma Chunlan wasn't so lucky.

She was swept to the other side of the cliff by the wind. When she fell, she hit a rock, broke a tree trunk, slid for a while, and was scratched by the rough sand and stones. Her new clothes were torn in several places.

Even when she rolled down the mountain and lay on the ground, she still could not recover from the fear.

When she was at the top of the mountain, her body seemed to be controlled by something invisible, and she couldn't move at all.

It was simply too evil!

At this time, she thought of those old words, "Sinners will be punished by heaven, evils will be punished."

The sun was high in the sky, but Ma Chunlan shuddered. She couldn't care less about the pain and embarrassment all over her body. She got up, found her bicycle parked at the foot of the mountain, and fled.

In order to avoid the attention of others and throw away the little brat, Ma Chunlan had deliberately taken a long detour.

By the time she returned to Daqu Village, it was already evening, and it happened to cover her disheveled appearance without being noticed by the villagers.

The Tian family had three spacious and stylish brick houses in the South of the village.

When Ma Chunlan arrived home, Mrs. Tian had already had dinner with her precious grandson.

Seeing that she had only returned at this time, and Da Ya was nowhere to be seen, Mrs. Tian frowned and asked. "What happened? Where's Da Ya?"

"Mom, don't ask anymore. Could you hurry up and pack your things? We're going to Hui City to find Xiaohu's father now." Ma Chunlan put her bicycle in the living room. The bright strip of light on the wall illuminated her pale face, exposing her terrible state.

Mrs. Tian's heart skipped a beat, and her intuition told her that something was wrong.

"Tell me everything clearly, don't try to play dumb!"

Seeing that her mother-in-law's face had turned stern, Ma Chunlan's heart was also in a panic. She carried her son to the long bench and turned on the TV for him to watch. Then, she entered the room with Mrs. Tian, closed the door, and told her what had happened.

"Mom, Da Ya fell down the mountain. I'm afraid she won't be able to come back in the future."

Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Tian's slap landed on her face. It was a ruthless and harsh slap.

Mrs. Tian pointed at her nose and trembled with anger.

"You idiot! What did I tell you? In the future, there might be a need for her at home. I've already said that you'd better bear with it no matter how unwilling you are! You agreed to it in front of me, but then you took her to the mountains and killed her?"

Ma Chunlan's words had been modified, but Mrs. Tian knew her character well and guessed it correctly after thinking for a while.

"Where did you leave her? Go out and find someone to help you. Go up the mountain and find her!"

"We can't!" Ma Chunlan covered her burning cheek and said anxiously, "Mother, if people find out about this, let's not talk about whether they can find her. Whether she's dead or alive, the police will be alerted!"

"Mom, Da Ya's identity cannot be investigated."

Seeing the old hag's expression change because of this, Ma Chunlan's eyes flashed with hidden pleasure.

In the past, this old woman had always been arrogant in front of her because of her status, and today she had finally made her speak no more.

In short, she and the old lady were in the same boat in some matters.

If she weren't well, the old woman wouldn't be able to live comfortably either.

Ma Chunlan's voice softened, "Besides, Fumin has been working in the factory for many years. He has already secured his job. What use can that little brat be? If he continued to raise her, the money he would have to spend for years or even decades would not be a small sum. Also, we're about to enter the city. Mom, do you dare to bring her along? That little brat's face doesn't look like Fumin's or mine. I just don't know who she resembles."

Mrs. Tian's expression was increasingly stern.

How could she not understand the intention behind Ma Chunlan's explanation.

However, the older the girl grows, the more she looks like that person. It made Mrs. Tian not dare to take the risk.

If it aroused suspicion, the Tian family would be wiped out.

Moreover, the reason why she kept Da Ya was to prevent the Tian family from falling into a desperate situation again. She might be of use then.

She had no choice.

That night, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law packed their things and took the precious boy to the town overnight. They took the night bus to Hui City.

The fact that the little kid who had fallen off the cliff was already left behind by the two.
