However, when it came to their three older children, Chen Lanlan, Chen Tingting, and Chen Zhaozhao, who could already do chores, they were not ready to let them go, unwilling to let them leave.
Of course, their desire to keep these three children wasn't out of pity for them, but rather they wanted these older kids to continue to contribute their light and heat to the Chen Family.
In time, as they grew up, they could be sold off for some money, squeezing out the last bit of their residual value.
Hu Xiaomei sneered, "Why can't I take my children with me? If I don't, am I supposed to leave them here to continue being abused by you? Villagers, look, look at the injuries on my children..."
After saying this with a face full of anger, Hu Xiaomei lifted the clothes of her eldest and second daughters. The sight of Chen Lanlan and Chen Tingting covered in whip marks and purple bruises was shocking to see.
The bystanders began to denounce the Chen Family in a buzz of voices.
