Xiao Li smiled when he heard the displeasure in his tone. He put Dong Huang down, handed the bamboo basket to Dong Li, and said, "Your sister is here to bring you food."
After saying that, he leaned over and said, "Xiao Huang, if you are bullied again, come to me. I live in the east near the river."
Dong Huang remembered it in her heart and smiled, "Thank you, uncle."
After Xiao Li left and the two were alone, Dong Li checked on his sister. When he saw his sister’s bruised face and body, he frowned and asked, "Who did it?"
If he hadn’t asked, Dong Huang might have forgotten about it. But when she heard her brother’s words, she felt aggrieved. She cried loudly, hugged her brother, and complained, "Waaa, brother! A terrible aunt pinches Xiao Huang. It hurts!"
Dong Li felt heartbroken when he saw her crying so sadly. He patted her back and said, "Xiao Huang, I’m sorry for not protecting you well. Tell your brother who did it. Brother will definitely avenge you."
Dong Huang slowly stopped crying and hiccupped as she said, "It... it’s that Auntie who likes Uncle Li."
There are many aunts who like Uncle Li. So, Dong Li asked again, "Which one?"
After thinking for a while, Dong Huang said, "The person who made Aunt Li and Uncle Li quarrel before."
Hearing her sister’s words, Dong Li’s eyes darkened and he said coldly, "So it’s her. Xiao Huang, stop crying. Eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold."
Thinking about the food, she said with her head lowered, "Brother, the food fell on the floor and is dirty."
Dong Li opened the bamboo basket and said, "Aunt Li wrapped it in oil paper so the food is not dirty."
He led his sister to sit under the tree and took out the food. When he opens the oil paper, he sees scallion pancakes, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks. Then he opened the bamboo tube and smelled the fragrance of soy milk. He handed the bamboo tube to his sister and said, "Here, drink it. Stop crying."
He wiped his sister’s tears and snots with his clothes and began to eat. After they finished the food, they went to catch insects. Since hitting someone would land him in jail, he would give the woman a gift. Even if they get caught, they can say it was a prank. After all, they are still children, and children are naughty.
