Chapter 1847 Keep it from them for as long as possible
"Sister Qiuyu, you can sleep in my room." Er Ya looked at Qiuyu and explained with a smile, "I haven't seen my eldest sister in a long time, I have something to say to her tonight."
Qiu Yu couldn't wait to sleep alone and hated sharing a bed with others, so she immediately agreed.
After turning off the light and getting into bed, Er Ya moved closer to Daya, pressing herself against her tightly before stopping. In the darkness, she suddenly spoke: "Big sister, I had a dream a few days ago that Mom died."
Daya: "...Oh"
Er Ya waited for a long time but didn't hear her say anything, so she reached out and pushed her, "Is this all you're going to do?"
Da Ya chuckled, "You're just having a dream, what am I supposed to say?"
This time, it was Arya's turn to remain silent.
Daya realized something was wrong and stared at Erya in the moonlight. "Why would I dream of her dying for no reason? Did she come looking for you? Does she want to rely on you and have you take care of her in her old age? Does she want to come looking for us?"
Er Ya: "Big sister, I've thought about this for a long time, and I don't intend to hide it from you." So she recounted what happened on the cruise ship during her trip abroad with Zhang Ran, downplaying the important parts.
The most important reason she chose to tell Daya was that her father had tried to assault her, but she caught him in the act.
She killed her father, and Daya wanted to take the blame for her. In the end, she asked Xiaoyue for help, and the three of them conspired to dispose of her father's body.
After listening, Daya remained silent for a long time. "You don't need to feel guilty. You didn't kill her. It was all her own fault. Luckily, Xiaoyue was smart. If she hadn't been there, the two of them would have sold you..." She couldn't even imagine the consequences of Erya being sold. "That man is a gambler. If he could sell you and Xiaoyue this time, next time it would definitely be me, Sanya, and Siya. Now that she has been killed by that man, the people on the ship have called the police, and that man will go to jail too."
Er Ya did not tell Daya what happened next.
“I don’t feel guilty,” Er Ya corrected. “She sold me to human traffickers for a man. She didn’t treat me like a daughter, and I’ll treat her like I don’t have a mother. It’s just that she’s been killed by her stepfather, and I don’t know how to tell San Ya and Si Ya.”
Daya remained silent for a while, unsure how to tell her two younger sisters.
A mother sold her own daughter to human traffickers to raise money for her husband's gambling and pay off his debts. The truth is so cruel, how could she say it?
Just like when her father died, she still didn't dare tell Sanya and Siya.
Er Ya: "You were busy during the day, so I deliberately told San Ya and Si Ya that I had a dream that Mom died."
Daya: "...What did they say?" It's amazing that she could come up with such an excuse, it's absolutely brilliant.
Er Ya recounted their reactions, "...They seemed indifferent, but since I was talking about a dream, they didn't take it seriously, so naturally they didn't care, since it was a false premise."
Daya sighed deeply, "Let's leave it at that for now, keep it from them for as long as we can." Just like keeping her father's death a secret for so many years, she might keep it a secret forever.
"It's better to be safe than sorry." Er Ya thought about how Zhang Ran was already being watched. What if the other party investigated her and then investigated her as well? What about her father's death back then...? "Xiao Yue's business is growing bigger and bigger, and many people are jealous and deliberately frame her. If one day someone investigates what happened back then, I hope Xiao Yue won't be involved."
