"Dad, please be obedient..."

Qi Li was so scared when he saw his father losing control that he dared not make any more trouble.

Qi's mother, who was standing at the door watching this scene, ran over and pulled Qi Li back home, saying mercilessly, "Are you going to force your father to death? Don't you think your mother hasn't hurt him badly enough?

What exactly does our Qi family owe you and your daughter? They are harming us one by one..."

She couldn't remember what her grandmother cursed at her afterwards, it was just the same words her aunt repeated over and over again.

She never asked her father to take her away again.

Her father's kneeling destroyed her courage to escape and save herself.

Kneeling made her unable to sleep at night and she was in great pain, and she woke up from her dreams several times with guilt and regret.

Even every time when his aunt asked his father to take him away, Qi Li was extremely worried and scared.

She was afraid that her father would kneel in front of her and slap her, begging her to be obedient.

She was even more timid and cautious. She didn't dare to speak, make any noise, or even pick up food at home.

The family cooked dumplings, and she wanted to eat them so much. She knew there was no portion for her, so when Qi Xiufen turned to go into the kitchen, she watched her back warily, then quickly grabbed one and put it into her mouth, not caring about the heat or chewing, and swallowed it in two seconds.

But because of this dumpling, she got slapped again, and her mother was dragged out and scolded. She regretted it so much. Why was she so greedy?

She didn't dare touch anything in the house, because if she wasn't careful, Qi Xiufen would bring up her mother's past. She didn't want to be scolded for causing her mother's death, nor did she want to be humiliated by Qi Xiufen.

Sometimes she also wondered, what is the purpose of a person's life?

I heard that there are ghosts in the world. If she died, I wonder if she would become a ghost and see her mother.

If she turned into a ghost, she would definitely scare Qi Xiufen to death.

There shouldn't be a ghost, otherwise her mother would have been scared to death seeing Qi Xiufen bullying her like this.

Qiao Jiangxin was dragging the day's vegetables past Mengquan Middle School when she saw Qi Li squatting at the door.

She pushed the cart towards the other party, and with her carefulness, she happened to scrape Qi Li.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Qiao Jiangxin looked apologetic.

Qi Li Mo nodded and shrank his feet into the corner, leaving his toes exposed.

Qiao Jiangxin looked at the other person's trouser legs that were much shorter, and then at his thin ankles that were cracked and scabbed from the cold, and his heart inexplicably softened.

In her previous life, she met Ali when she was three years old. She had the impression that she was always silent and seldom spoke. Only when she was with Qiao Jiangxin would she occasionally chat with him.

"It's already class time, why don't you go in?" Qiao Jiangxin asked softly.

Qi Li lowered his head and said nothing.

Qiao Jiangxin said patiently, "Go in, or you won't be able to listen to the teacher's teachings. It will be difficult to enter the society without education. I didn't have the chance to study before. I only read three volumes, that is, I went home after finishing the first volume of the second grade."

Qi Li looked up at Qiao Jiangxin, his eyes numb and his sallow face expressionless.

The voice was dry and so soft that Qiao Jiangxin almost couldn't hear it.

"I don't want to study at all. No matter how difficult it is to enter the society, can it be as difficult as it is now..."

Qiao Jiangxin was stunned for a moment.

Qi Li turned his head and looked into the distance.

I really want to grow up quickly.

When Qi Li tilted her head, Qiao Jiangxin could see the scars on her face. The bruises were extremely eye-catching on her sallow and thin face, which showed how much strength the person who had done it had used.

"You, your face, what's wrong?"

Qi Li quickly pushed his hair down and lowered his head, "Nothing."

Qiao Jiangxin wanted to hold her hand, but she shrank back to the corner defensively.

Qiao Jiangxin pushed the cart away.

Soon she came back with a tube of ointment and an oil-paper bag containing meat buns.
