Most of the villagers know each other, so if there's a strange old man, just tell your family in the evening.

The fishing village has developed very well in recent years. Everyone pays attention to every stranger, for fear that some bad people might come and cause trouble.

The main problem is the large number of human traffickers; we've heard too many stories about human trafficking.

So when Liu Xiaohua heard that Su Tiantian had met a stranger, she became more cautious.

Su Tiantian didn't take it to heart and quickly forgot about it.

She couldn't stay still, so she ate the peanuts that Liu Xiaohua had peeled, and then Su Xuemin and the others came home from school.

"Sweetie, come quick! Look what fun things your brother brought you."

As soon as Su Xueguang arrived at his doorstep, he shouted at the top of his lungs. Upon hearing the sound, Su Tiantian immediately ran out.

"Second brother, what did you bring for me?"

Su Xueguang often brought her strange and unusual things, and Su Tiantian was very curious about what he brought today.

Su Tiantian looked at Su Xueguang expectantly.

Su Xueguang tilted his head back and arrogantly pulled a 'frog' from his pocket, handing it to Su Tiantian with a proud look on his face: "Here, take it and play with it."

Liu Xiaohua stepped out the door and saw this scene. She was so angry that her eyes went blurry. She put her hands on her hips and roared, "Su Xueguang, you're not allowed to let Tiantian catch frogs to play with!"

Her sweet little darling is actually a dragon princess.

He spends his days playing with five-year-old Wang Jiao in the village, throwing mud at her.

These brats are such a handful, always bringing her frogs, dragonflies, beetles, or all sorts of random stones...

They've turned Little Sweetie into a wild boy.

Su Tiantian's eyes lit up when she saw the dark 'frog', but she was about to reach out when Liu Xiaohua stopped her.

When Su Xueguang saw Su Tiantian's eyes light up, he knew his sister really liked this. Without saying a word, he stuffed it into Su Tiantian's hand and said firmly, "Take it out to play with, Grandma, I'll take care of it!"

It's just a matter of getting beaten up by the cops; he can handle it.

Su Tiantian pinched the 'little frog' and happily ran out the door.

Su Xuekuo and Su Xuebo silently followed her out.

Liu Xiaohua, holding a bamboo stick, shouted: "Su Xueguang, you've gone too far!"

Su Xuemin grinned and stepped forward, hugging Liu Xiaohua's waist as he said, "Grandma, don't be angry. Second brother, quickly apologize to Grandma..."

"Grandma, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong... I'll never do it again..."

Su Tiantian has already run out to play, and Su Xueguang slid down and knelt down to admit his mistake.

The four brothers worked in perfect harmony: two held her back, while the other two took Su Tiantian out to play.

Liu Xiaohua looked helpless.

Dai Ping'an said with a smile, "Even a child knows he was wrong, so let it go."

Liu Xiaohua pointed fiercely at Su Xueguang and Su Xuemin: "You two better remember this, if there's a next time, I'll break your legs! Go do your homework right now."

Liu Xiaohua went back to the kitchen.

Su Xueguang raised an eyebrow at Su Xuemin: "Big brother, shall we go?"

Su Xuemin nodded, and the two looked at Dai Ping'an, clasping their hands together in prayer.

Dai Pingan chuckled, made a zipper gesture with his hand over his mouth, and then waved.

The two brothers exchanged a knowing smile and tiptoed out the door.

Right on the beach outside their house, they squatted down and watched the frogs escape.

"Oh my, you little kids are so cute."

An unfamiliar voice rang out, and the group of people who were engrossed in their game immediately turned to look at the speaker.

It was a strange old man, and the Su brothers immediately became alert, protecting Su Tiantian behind them.

Be wary of strangers; what if they are human traffickers?

Their younger sister is the cutest, prettiest, and sweetest. Zhao Jing still wants to bring her home. Su Xueguang, like a leopard poised to pounce, coldly stares at the old man not far away.

"Little girl, we just met."

The old man smiled and said to Su Tiantian.

Su Tiantian peeked out from behind Su Xueguang, looked at the old man, and said, "We've only met twice, we don't know you!"

She's a smart girl; we've just met and she doesn't recognize me. If we don't recognize each other, she's a stranger.

"You're such a funny little girl, whose doll are you?"

The old man was all smiles and looked kind and approachable.

"Let's go home."

Su Xueguang remained vigilant. He was unhappy that his game had been interrupted by a stranger, but it was indeed time to go home.

There were no adults on their beach, and this old man who suddenly appeared looked like a bad guy.

Su Tiantian didn't sense any malice, but she knew her brothers wouldn't hurt her, so when Su Xuebo and Su Xuekuo pulled her away first, she obediently followed.

Su Xueguang and Su Xuemin looked at the old man, who stood not far away without moving, just smiling at them.

Su Xueguang and Su Xuemin followed, and the group ran away with Su Tiantian.

Worried that Su Tiantian hadn't had enough fun, Su Xueguang told her, "Your second brother will take you horseback riding later."

Su Tiantian nodded with a smile. She liked playing with her brothers and found all kinds of games fun.

Because everyone loves her.

The old man watched them walk away before his kind smile faded. He muttered to himself, "She's really quick-witted. It's rare to see such attention on a young girl..."

The old man slowly left the beach with his hands behind his back.

Based on his observations that day, he found that the people in this village were quite united and their attitude towards children was different from that in other places.

Many families value girls highly, and during his walk around today, he barely heard any scolding or beatings.

The girls here are different, and even the families here are quite different.

The old man walked dejectedly through the village.

Suddenly, a string of curses was heard.

"You good-for-nothing! You can't even ask your dead mother for a little money. What's the point of raising you? All you do is eat, eat, eat! All you do all day is eat!"

"The eggs belong to your brother, you don't deserve to eat them! Crying and crying will make you lose all your good fortune, get out!"

The vicious curses ended, the door opened, and a crying girl ran out. After she ran away, no one else came out of the door.

The old man glanced in the direction the girl had run off to and slowly followed.

Zhao Qiuyue sat by the roadside, hugging her knees and silently shedding tears.

"Little girl, why are you crying?"

The old man gave a kind smile and comforted him.

Zhao Qiuyue wiped away her tears through her blurry eyes: "My dad has disappeared, my mom has been kicked out, my uncle treats me badly, and my grandparents hate me too. They all blame me for not being a lucky star!"

Zhao Qiuyue is already fourteen years old and understands how important the events of three years ago were to her family.

When her mother was alive, she was often scolded, but her mother only scolded her for not studying hard enough. She would never scold her for not sweeping the floor, not washing clothes, not washing dishes, and she would never scold her for not being a lucky star.

Some things are learned through blood and tears, but by then it's too late to regret.

"I want my mom to come back, but she won't come back. She doesn't want me anymore..."

As Zhao Qiuyue recalled the scene of her going to her mother to beg her to come home and being refused, tears welled up in her eyes again. She knew she was wrong, she already knew she was wrong, so why wouldn't her mother forgive her?
