Duan Xiaoxi quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, I can work. I can earn ten centimeters by myself. Don't look at me as thin, but I'm actually very strong. I can also work in the fields."
Li Zheng pushed up his glasses and said, "If an outsider suddenly comes to the village, they definitely won't agree to it."
Upon hearing that there was no hope, Duan Xiaoxi's eyes welled up with tears like waves crashing in the sea.
Seeing this, He Wan quickly said, "It's so early in the morning, let's not talk about these things. Don't worry, you can stay here for a few days, I can take care of the food, don't worry."
However, the village head knows about this matter, so I still need to inform him.
Zhang Deping breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in agreement with He Wan, saying, "Yes."
Seeing that Duan Xiaoxi was about to say something, Zhang Deping quickly said that he was about to have dinner and had to leave.
He Wan's place also returned to a brief period of calm.
After the meal was ready, Duan Xiaoxi remained silent, meekly taking only a small piece of steamed bun and a small spoonful of millet porridge.
Seeing this, He Wan laughed and said, "You don't even eat as much as my cat. I already told you, I have enough food here, so you don't need to be stingy with me."
As He Wan spoke, she filled the bowl of porridge for her and stuffed the other half of the steamed bun into her mouth: "Eat up, don't be shy. Besides, Comrade Zhang just brought some grain over."
Duan Xiaoxi didn't say anything, but took a sip of millet porridge and a bite of steamed bun.
My eyes started watering again.
"Hey, what's wrong with you now?"
"Comrade He, you are so kind."
"Hey, we're all women out in the world, it's normal for us to help each other out. I'm only helping because I have the ability to. If I didn't have the ability, I wouldn't be able to help even if I wanted to."
Duan Xiaoxi suddenly chuckled, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said, "Actually, I envy you. Even though you're away from home, at least you have a place to go, you can earn work points, and support yourselves. But me, I don't even have a place to go right now."
When I ran away, I thought that even if I was arrested by the police station and locked up as a vagrant, at least I wouldn't be beaten or go hungry every day.
What you just said has made me think. I don't want to put you in a difficult position. I'll leave once this snow melts, and go far away. If the police catch me, they won't have time to bring me back, so I can be re-educated as a vagrant, at least I'll have a place to stay.
He Wan stared at her for a long time, unable to understand how much courage it took for a girl to refuse to go home even after being locked up.
"Is your family treating you very badly?"
Duan Xiaoxi nodded: "Don't laugh at me, but I've never had enough to eat since I was a child. I slept in my family's thatched hut, which used to be a pigsty."
In winter, I only had one quilt. When it was cold, I would use straw to keep warm. My straw hut was filled with straw all winter long. I looked like a rabbit, wrapped in straw from head to toe. The hut was also full of straw. Only in this way could I avoid freezing to death in winter.
There are clearly enough rooms in my house, but they've all been given to my younger brother and sister.
I was never liked by my parents from childhood to adulthood. I spent my days being beaten and scolded, and I had endless chores to do from morning till night.
The people in my village say that I've lived this long because God has been watching over me.
He Wan frowned as she listened. At this point, you can say that people favor boys over girls, but there are clearly two girls in the family, yet they treat one girl very well while treating the other like an enemy or a slave.
There are generally two possibilities when encountering this situation.
Firstly, some people believe in superstitions and think that this child is bad luck for them, so they dislike him.
Second, he is not her biological child.
