Wang Ruizhen was so angry that she cried for several days while holding Pei Tiantian, who was less than two years old.

"Tell me, did I do something wrong? Did Zhisheng really disown us? He just left without saying anything and hasn't replied to us in several years."

Wang Ruizhen said bitterly.

Looking back now, Pei Zhisheng was probably immersed in resentment every day after his marriage. He resented himself for not allowing him to go to college and forcing him to stay in this small village.

"Mom, my fourth brother is just having a hard time thinking it through. Maybe in two years he'll come around and come back!"

Pei Zhiwen said with difficulty.

"It's okay for him to blame me, but he can't just ignore Tiantian. Tiantian is his biological daughter. How can a father like him ignore his daughter for so many years?"

Wang Ruizhen said through gritted teeth.

In order to prevent rumors from spreading and affecting Pei Tiantian, they could only tell others that Pei Zhisheng was too busy working outside and could not come back. Every year they would pretend to go to the post office to pick up Pei Zhisheng's letters, but in fact there were no letters at all.

Just to prevent others from knowing, Pei Zhisheng abandoned his daughter and ran away, never to return.

Pei Zhiwen remained silent.

Everyone was at fault in this matter back then. It was a complete mess and no one could sort it out.

…

Early in the morning, Pei Tiantian got up refreshed. Wang Ruizhen wrung out a small towel and wiped her little face and hands. After washing up, she sat at the small table and ate corn cakes.

Wang Ruizhen sat on a stool beside her and peeled an egg for her, putting a white, tender and smooth egg into her small bowl.

The sweet and soft corn pancakes whetted Pei Tiantian's appetite, but her body had a small appetite. After eating a bun, an egg, and drinking some porridge, she was already too full.

Pei Tiantian touched her bulging belly, swung her short legs, and said to Wang Ruizhen, "Grandma, I still have to go play with Brother Gu Rong today!"

Wang Ruizhen gave her a strange look, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Gu Rong and I have become good friends! We have agreed that I will play with him more often in the future!"

Pei Tiantian lied without changing her expression.

"Really? I heard from your uncle that Gu Rong doesn't like us very much. I guess he's still angry about what happened before. Are you sure he wants to see you now?"

Wang Ruizhen glanced at her and said.

"No, grandma, you misunderstood Brother Gu Rong. He is not such a petty person. We have apologized and he will not be angry anymore. Besides, I think he still likes me very much!"

Pei Tiantian said shamelessly.

"Yeah?"

Wang Ruizhen was a little skeptical.

She felt sympathy for Gu Rong, but she had also heard from villagers that Gu Rong was a gloomy boy with a bad temper and a penchant for stealing.

So Wang Ruizhen was a little worried that Pei Tiantian would be bullied.

But Wang Ruizhen quickly thought about it and remembered that Gu Rong had jumped into the river to save Tiantian without hesitation.

A child who is so brave and righteous can't be that bad.

So Wang Ruizhen put a White Rabbit candy into Pei Tiantian's pocket as usual and nodded, "Then go ahead."

Pei Tiantian touched her little pocket and said, "Grandma, I won't eat candy today. Brother Gu Rong is my good friend. I want to bring this candy to him!"

"good."

Wang Ruizhen was quite pleased.

In the past, if anyone wanted to eat Pei Tiantian’s food, she would cry and make a fuss like a hen guarding her food.

Wang Ruizhen was also worried that Pei Tiantian's dominant personality would cause conflicts with her classmates in the future. Now it seems that her worry was completely unnecessary.

Tiantian is becoming more and more sensible and will actively share with others.

Pei Tiantian ran to Gu Rong's house again with her short legs, panting.

The eggs, pork and other things that were piled up in the yard yesterday have disappeared. I guess they were moved into the kitchen by Gu Rong. The familiar bacon and sausages are already hanging on the eaves of the kitchen door.

Pei Tiantian grinned.

Isn’t this what she took from the space?

Sure enough, the villain boss accepted it.

Pei Tiantian saw that the main door was wide open. She shouted a few times inside, but found no one there.

It seems that Gu Rong is not at home.

There was a cold wind blowing outside and Pei Tiantian couldn't help sneezing. She hurried into the main room, turned her back, rubbed her two little hands together, and then she felt a little warmer.

But it was still a bit cold in this empty main room, after all, there was not even a brazier.

It’s not the coldest time of winter yet, but it’s already so cold. If it were the coldest time, I don’t know how Gu Rong would survive the winter.

Thinking of this, Pei Tiantian walked into the house, turned a corner and entered Gu Rong's bedroom.

Unexpectedly, the window in Gu Rong's bedroom was broken. It was just covered with a few layers of old newspapers, but the cold wind still came in from outside through the gaps in the newspapers.

Pei Tiantian walked to Gu Rong's bed and saw the thin quilt on the bed. It didn't look warm at all. It was an old quilt that had been washed so much that it turned pale. Even the edges of the quilt were a little black and yellow.

Pei Tiantian lifted a small corner of the quilt and saw that there was only a layer of coarse straw and a mat under Gu Rong's bed.

She was stunned.

The villain's living environment is too harsh. It would be freezing to death if he slept there.

Pei Tiantian felt a surge of sympathy.

No wonder the villain was always afraid of the cold, had cold hands and feet all year round, and especially liked to drink the cold-proof soup made by the heroine herself. This was probably a disease he had since childhood.

Seeing that no one came in, Pei Tiantian took prompt action and took out a fluffy and elastic thick cotton quilt, a pillow core, and a brand new bedding set, including pillowcases, sheets, and quilt covers, and placed them on Gu Rong's bed.

There are no modern patterns on the bed sets, just a few big red flowers, which doesn’t look too weird.

Then Pei Tiantian sat in Gu Rong's room waiting for Gu Rong.

Pei Tiantian didn't know how much time had passed, but Gu Rong still hadn't come back. She sighed and was about to leave when she saw an old-looking Chinese textbook for the sixth grade on Gu Rong's bedside table.

Pei Tiantian picked up the book from the cabinet and opened it casually. She saw a lot of handwriting on it. Some of the handwriting was old, and some of it was obviously new, but it was written very carefully and the handwriting was very beautiful.

It's obvious that this is a second-hand book that has been used by someone else.

Gu Rong is eight years old this year. Logically, he should be in the second grade of primary school, but he is only in the sixth grade through self-study.

Pei Tiantian sighed in her heart.

The villain is worthy of being a villain. No matter how miserable his life is, his IQ is higher than that of ordinary people.

Pei Tiantian recalled the plot of the novel. Gu Rong dropped out of school after the first grade of elementary school.

No matter how the team leader tried to persuade him, he was unwilling to go back to school.
