Chapter 127 Investigation

When Daya woke up again, she could smell the familiar disinfectant. She knew she had come to where she was meant to be.

Her head and other burned areas were already wrapped in gauze. When the old lady in the next bed saw that she was awake, she quickly went to call for help.

A short while later, all the familiar doctors in white coats came over and, after conducting a series of examinations on her, turned to her and said something.

"Little girl, it's a miracle that your body has been so badly damaged and you've managed to hold on until now. All your organs were failing, yet you were still saved. Now the whole hospital is talking about the impossible you've done. It's just that the burns on your face are quite severe, and you'll probably get scars. Given your special circumstances, we'll have to observe you for a few more days." What if it's just a temporary resurgence of life before death? Wouldn't all their efforts have been in vain?

Only Da Ya herself knew that it was her arrival that regulated the body's balance.

"Where is this?" As soon as she spoke, Da Ya was stunned. Was that really her voice that was so hoarse?

"Go and get your little girl a glass of water. Look at how dry she is."

The nurse ran out, while the doctor patiently explained to her.

"Don't be afraid, it's just from the smoke. You didn't know, did you? Your house caught fire. Luckily, your woodshed is far away. If the woodshed had caught fire while you were unconscious, the consequences would have been much more serious."

Upon hearing this, Daya was eager to know the result, "How are my parents?"

"Hmph, after abusing you like this, why are you still worried about that heartless couple? You should take better care of yourself!"

The nurse brought in water; the doctor had already left the ward. She grabbed the nurse's hand, desperately squeezing tears from her eyes.

"Sister... my parents,"

The nurse sighed upon hearing this. "They were sleeping too soundly. The chubby boy is alright, just a few blisters. Your father, who was sleeping on the outermost side, got burned on his leg. Your mother lost her hair and is disfigured. They're both very injured; it's unclear whether they'll survive. Don't worry, people from your village brought you to the county hospital. The burns were too severe; the local clinic wouldn't admit you. You're lucky."

"How, how could it catch fire?" She coughed heavily because of her anxiety, and the nurse quickly fed her a few more sips of water.

"We're not entirely sure either, but your village has already reported it to the police, so there should be a result soon. Don't worry,"

I'm not worried, why would I be worried? I'm just angry that the couple is so lucky to have survived!

She was a beast in human form; if Gong Honghong hadn't kept a close watch on her, she might have been harmed long ago.

The other one was vicious and cruel; if it weren't for the fact that she needed to carry on Niu Dabao's family line, he would have either beaten her to death or crippled her.

Gong Honghong brutally murdered Daya. She acted on behalf of Heaven and destroyed everything they had. Let's see what they have left to be arrogant about!

As for her...

She remembered a little person telling her that on New Year's Eve, the sisters of Peach Blossom Village would help her escape.

Since there's nowhere else to go, let's go see why those two sisters took her away.

She knew that Daya wasn't the family's biological daughter, otherwise they wouldn't have abused her so cruelly.

Now, apart from that chubby kid, no one in this family is complete.

If she recovers, she might help the chubby boy pay off the couple's medical debts. If they are still alive, she might even have to take care of them. She doesn't want to be that sucker.

To prevent the sisters from going to Niujia Village to wait for her again, Daya had a plan in mind.

What she didn't expect was that even though the distance was so far, the news of the fire in Niujia Village still spread to the nearby villages.

This family's composition was so peculiar. Despite being so poor, they still had a chubby little boy. During the day, Niu Tie Niu's wife beat the child bride almost to death and poured hot water on her, causing severe burns. Unexpectedly, their house was burgled that night, and the burglars even set fire to their house as revenge. This couple was truly audacious; even though the chubby boy woke up and screamed in pain from the huge fire, the two of them showed no signs of waking up at all. If the villagers hadn't gone to help, the result might not have been severe burns, but rather death.

And so, the news spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and not only reached Xihe Village, but also Taoyuan Village.

When the sisters heard about Daya and the child bride, they couldn't contain themselves. The group first went to Niujia Village and then finally arrived at the county hospital.

And so, Cuihua and her two sisters, along with the Tao family elders and Xiaojiu, suddenly appeared in front of Daya, who was wrapped in gauze.

Seeing her like this, the three Cuihua sisters started to cry. Xiaojiu also felt bad. How long has it been? She's already like this.

After Cuihua explained Daya's background, Daya finally understood why these sisters looked so familiar. They were actually her biological sisters who had lived in the same house as the original owner of this body!

As for the little girl who gave her two eggs, Daya gazed at her thoughtfully.

The five- or six-year-old girl's eyes were clear, filled with worry, and seemed to carry a hint of self-blame, which warmed her heart.

And the three sisters in front of me, although they cried for a long time, they were genuinely worried about her. Especially when the police and villagers came to ask questions as usual, they clenched their fists in anger because of Daya's statement.

Da Ya is not the same Da Ya as before. She revealed everything that men and women had done to her, including how the little fat boy used her as a horse and spied on her while she was bathing. She said that since she was in such a terrible state, she could not get married anyway, so what did she need her reputation for?

When the villagers found out that Da Ya had really been burned and beaten by Gong Honghong, they cursed her for deserving it, but were also glad that she was unconscious. Otherwise, given the intensity of the fire that night, who knows what kind of burns she would have suffered!

"How exactly did the fire start?"

With Da Ya's situation laid bare, no one would suspect that she started the fire. After all, the Niu family's house was not only on fire, but also had lost grain. Even if the fire had destroyed everything, there should have been traces left. However, when they went to the scene, they found that not only was there no grain in the west wing, but they also couldn't find any vegetables or sweet potatoes in the cellar.

"Based on the current evidence, it was likely the thief who did it. They were sleeping so soundly that we initially thought they had been drugged, but the fat man is fine. Further tests are needed."

"Test my ass. Just from what the police said, you know this matter will just fizzle out in the end. The only ones who will suffer are Niu Tieniu's family. The neighbors aren't affected, and they still have a healthy baby. They won't waste a lot of manpower and resources on something that won't benefit them."

The police's ambiguous answer left the villagers dumbfounded, because the family's enormous medical expenses were beyond the village's means to afford.

The village chief borrowed money from everyone, and that money has to be repaid!
