Standing on the road, Chen Lina clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth as she left angrily, "I should really kick that little bitch harder to vent my anger! How dare she ask me to apologize to Li Sang after I raised her for years!"
At the same time, Li Shu was carried by the villagers to Doctor Xie’s house. Seeing his sister’s swollen eyes and purple bruises all over her face, Shitou’s face turned pale and his eyes turned red. He was held by his grandma and looked around, finding that the faces of the villagers were solemn.
He grabbed his grandma’s clothes and buried his head in his grandma’s neck. Suddenly, he heard a whisper coming from beside him, "This Chen Lina is really hard-hearted. Look how badly she beat her daughter. It seems that this time, it will be difficult for Da Niu to survive."
Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at the villagers who were discussing in a low voice. He wanted to refute their words, but he didn’t know what to refute.
He was used to seeing his mother beating his sister and thought it was normal. But today, after hearing his grandma’s words, he suddenly realized that what he thought was normal was actually wrong!
Thinking of his sister’s care for him and when she was always giving him all the delicious food she found, Shitou finally burst into tears. He doesn’t want his sister to die!
"Waaa… Sister! Shitou doesn’t want you to die!"
Aunt Li was startled by her grandson’s sudden cry and quickly comforted him, "Shitou, your sister will not die. Don’t worry, okay?"
Shitou looked at his grandma hopefully, but seeing the worry in his grandma’s eyes, he cried again, "Waaa! Grandma is lying to Shitou. My mother beat my sister so many times, my sister will die!"
After hearing his words, surprise flashed in the villagers’s eyes. It turns out that this is not the first time that Chen Lina has treated her daughter like this. Looking at the unconscious girl, the villagers sighed in pity. It was her bad luck for being born as that cruel woman’s daughter.
Seeing that Shitou was frightened, Lu Jueyu put her hand into her sleeve as a cover and took out a small package wrapped in oil paper from the space. When she opened the package, the villagers’ mouths watered at the sight of the colorful fruit slices and the fragrance wafting in the air.
Lu Jueyu took an apple slice, handed it to Shitou, and said, "Shitou, be good. If you stop crying, Aunt Li will give you this piece of fruit."
Hearing that there were snacks to eat, Shitou opened his red and swollen eyes and said between hiccups, "Aunt... Aunt Li, Shitou won’t cry."
Lu Jueyu smiled at him, wiped away his tears, handed him the apple slices and small package, and said, "Good."
Seeing that her grandson finally stopped crying, Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Jueyu, it’s us who have always caused trouble for you. How about you go back first? Otherwise, your husband will be worried if he won’t be able to find you at home."
