It was late at night and everything was quiet, as most people had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Zhu Yue took out a small flashlight from the space and began to read the letters.

"Good fellow, he hid himself well enough, and turned out to be a thief who sold out."

"The couple must have known about each other. You can tell from the tacit cooperation they showed in covering up for each other today. Regardless of whether the eldest and second sons knew about it or not, they are not innocent for spending dirty money, haha."

The original owner was really so pitiful.

Zhu Yue turned off the flashlight, put the letter away, and waited for a while. When she heard no movement outside, she lay down with peace of mind.

She originally thought that no matter how dishonest this family was, they were just stealing things from the factory and selling them. If she couldn't find any evidence, she would wait for an opportunity to secretly investigate the factory. If she could find evidence, she would report them directly.

I really didn't expect this family to be so bold and dare to do anything.

It is not easy to report this kind of crime directly.

Killing a thousand enemies would also involve herself, after all, Zhu Yue is undoubtedly the youngest daughter of this family in name.

He could only cut ties with this family in the eyes of outsiders first, for example, by letting everyone know that the original owner had been abused all these years and was completely different from them, and then he could expose the matter without implicating himself and causing any suspicion.

It requires careful planning.

Zhu Yue lay down in bed feeling a little irritable, wanting to communicate with the system that she would rather become an orphan in future missions than get involved in such a complicated family and relationships.

Her mission was clearly only to die a natural death, and did not include revenge for the original owner or punishing evil and promoting good. However, what was happening before her eyes was related to survival, so she had to resolve them one by one.

This is really, in my mother's words, unpaid overtime.

Really tired!

Be sure to mention this suggestion after contacting headquarters.

Zhu Yue fell asleep while thinking.

The next day, he got up earlier than the chickens and was scolded to make breakfast for the family. After the meal, everyone left, leaving Zhu Yue with a pile of dirty dishes and clothes.

Zhu Yue did not rush to clean up, but listened to the noise next door. She happened to walk out the door and bumped into Aunt Yang, the women's director. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted. Of course, she lifted her sleeves to make sure people could clearly see the old scars on the original owner's body.

The injuries included whip marks and cigarette burns, none of which were caused recently, at least two or three years ago. However, because they were too frequent or because the injuries were too severe at the time, they still looked shocking now.

At least Zhu Yue heard Aunt Yang's panicked scream instantly.

"Oh my god, Xiaoyue, you have injuries on your body. Oh my god, boss, come out quickly. Xiaoyue has fainted. Please help and take her to the hospital!"

Hearing the noise, everyone nearby who had not yet gone to work gathered around. Naturally, they all noticed Zhu Yue's thin, blue face and the horrific scars on his body.

When Zhu Yue looked through the original owner's memories, she fast-forwarded through the memories of that period and didn't dare to look at them.

It's too awful.

She suspected that Zhu's father had become mentally abnormal because of the long-term repression of doing that thing. If Zhu's mother only suppressed her with words and slapped her with the soles of her shoes, then Zhu's father was even more cruel. He burned her arms and legs with hot cigarette butts and beat her with a whip dipped in salt water. These happened when the original owner was about ten years old and lasted for two years intermittently until the Yang family moved in next door. This kind of thing stopped. After that year, the original owner did not dare to show her arms and legs even on the hottest days. She even did not dare to look up and look people in the eye. Gradually, she became unable to say a word in front of outsiders except when dealing with Zhu's parents at home.

It was also intentional by Zhu's parents, who deliberately made others think that their younger daughter was withdrawn and ignorant. Of course, they were open-minded parents who treated both their son and daughter equally and sent them to school.

Since ancient times, violence within families has been the least likely to be detected.

This incident quickly became a hot topic, and after the Zhu family got off work at noon, they discovered that the neighbors were looking at them strangely.

It was clearly the look one uses to look at scum.

Father Zhu's eyes turned cold at first. Could it be that someone had discovered that?

No, if he was discovered, he would not be able to stand here like this and would have been arrested long ago.

The Xu family, who live next door to the Zhu family, often quarrel. It is well known that they favor boys over girls. Xu's mother, who has been gossiped about, becomes excited instantly when she sees them.

Compared with such parents, she felt that she was not bad to her daughter. At least she never hit her daughter. At most, she was partial to her son and wanted to give all the good things to him.

"Zhu Guozhu and Fu Mei are really something. I never realized you were this kind of people after all these years. You are simply beasts in human form. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so how can you be so cruel to your own daughter? It's said that my Xu family values ​​sons over daughters—"

"I think you guys are the ones who really favor sons over daughters. You don't even treat your daughter as a human being!"

After Xu's mother spoke first, the voices of condemnation immediately increased.

Few people would approve of this kind of behavior.

Especially the Yang family who faced this incident head on.

"I'm not saying anything, Old Zhu. We've known each other for so many years. I thought we knew each other. Tell us, what happened to your little daughter's injuries? Who did it? And why?"

"It must have been done by Zhu Guozhu and his wife. The wound is so obvious. It was there two or three years ago. I remember that it was at that time that the old Zhu family suddenly said that their daughter kept her head down and didn't greet anyone she met. She was ignorant. It turned out that this was intentional. They even plotted against their own daughter."

"That's right. I knew they were not good people a long time ago. They pretended to be good people outside and were good at slandering and abusing people."

"Who else did it besides them?"

"It must be them. Why are you asking? We should definitely contact the Women's Federation. Is there anyone who can control these people? They are so shameless!"

Yang's mother, who had just returned from the hospital, was the director of the Women's Federation in this area. She looked very unhappy at the moment and glared at the two couples whose faces turned red and who were unable to find words to defend themselves.

"Director Yang is here. Let's hear what Director Yang has to say."

The crowd made way for a passage.

Director Yang walked over, frowned, and said unhappily, "The doctor said that Zhu Yue is very weak due to long-term hunger and malnutrition. She may not be able to survive a minor illness like a fever. She must be hospitalized for observation and will have to stay in the hospital for at least half a month with intravenous drips. And more!"

"The doctor saw all the injuries on Xiaoyue's body when he examined her. If you weren't father and daughter, you would be locked up if we called the police. Zhu Guozhu, the organization will now give you and Comrade Fu Mei a major public criticism. You must write a letter of guarantee and never do this again, otherwise..."

Director Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at them threateningly.

Zhu's father nodded quickly, and he and his mother lowered their heads with red faces. "Thank you, Director. I'm sorry, we were so foolish. We won't make the same mistake again. I'll write a letter of guarantee right away. And the mother of the child—"

"Go get the money and give it to Director Yang, and go to the hospital to pay the bill to see your daughter."

Zhu's mother nodded repeatedly in response.

The crowd of onlookers stopped trying to stop them after seeing this. After all, paying for medical treatment was important, and it would not be easy for Zhu Guozhu and his wife to abuse their daughter again in the future, as all the neighbors were watching them.

People gradually dispersed.

Zhu's father sent his two sons to buy something to eat and then go to work. After he returned to the house, his face suddenly became ferocious.
