She just kept shaking her head, unable to say anything at all. So everyone guessed that she must have been harmed by someone. Poor thing, and nobody knows who could be so lacking in conscience, and the mute girl probably doesn't even know who that person is…"
Li Mingxi's whole body jolted!
The village chief's wife didn't notice that anything was wrong with Li Mingxi.
"You know, after something like that happened to the mute girl, there were bound to be rumors. Lots of people laugh at her, bully her. So now whenever she sees anyone, she hides."
Li Mingxi forced herself to speak: "How old is she now?"
"I think she's about seventeen."
"Why didn't her family take her to the hospital?"
"She's a pitiful child. Her parents died long ago. At home she only has a grandmother in her seventies, and her eyesight isn't good—everything she sees is blurry. The family's poor besides; who's going to take her to the hospital?" the village chief's wife said, full of pity.
