The news spread quickly throughout the compound.

"The two children of Captain Lu are so amazing! One of them was able to skip from the first grade of elementary school to junior high school at such a young age, and the other little Duoduo is only in the kindergarten, but she can already participate in the painting competition!"

"I heard that the painting competition is very prestigious. From the local competition, candidates will be selected to compete in the provincial competition, and then to the national competition. I heard that if you win a prize in the national competition, you can also enter the National Painting Association! It's amazing!"

"Yes, all the good kids belong to other people's families! I don't know how other people's kids are raised!"

"How come Shen Li is so amazing! The children she taught are all the best. And that little An An, even though she is young, less than one year old, she is also very smart. Looking at her big eyes, you can tell that she is not an ordinary kid. I estimate that she will be very great in the future!"

After the story of Duoduo and Lu Minghui spread throughout the island, the sisters-in-law all came to Shen Li to ask for advice on how to educate their children.

Suddenly, Shen Li's reputation on the island became even higher, and she became the goddess loved by everyone in the compound.

Shen Li is very busy facing these sisters-in-law who ask for advice from her every day.

Being too popular is also a kind of trouble.

The two children were on summer vacation, and then Shen Li and Lu Jingchuan started to get busy.

They want to transfer Lu Minghui's academic record to a junior high school.

Dongji Primary School also has a junior high school department, called Dongji No. 1 Middle School.

But Dongji No. 1 Middle School is quite far from the island, and also quite far from Duoduo's kindergarten.

Duoduo will participate in the competition during the summer vacation and needs to live in the district. Therefore, Shen Li discussed with Lu Jingchuan that for the sake of the growth of the two children, they plan to buy a larger house in Haikou.

As they said, Shen Li and Lu Jingchuan have been looking for houses in the district these days, looking at more and comparing more.

Duoduo is going to participate in a painting competition, so beautiful clothes are essential. In addition to some children's clothing under the Jiaoyan brand, Shen Li also takes Duoduo to the mall. As long as it is a pretty little skirt, pretty little shoes, pretty little hairbands, pretty little hairpins, and pretty little bags, Shen Li buys them all for Duoduo.

Shopping every day, Duoduo's hands are already tired just from unpacking these skirts and shoes.

Duoduo had apparently been dressed up by Shen Li like the most exquisite doll in the cabinet.

…

Distant mountains.

"Song Baoer! You only cut such a little pig grass today?" At this time, a woman in coarse cloth walked up to the thin Song Baoer, and saw such a small amount of pig grass in the basket she put on the ground. She was so angry that she grabbed Song Baoer's ears and twisted them around.

"Ah! Don't squeeze it, it hurts..." Song Baoer struggled, her little face was a waxy yellow color, she was very thin, and looked severely malnourished. As she struggled, she coughed violently -

Since she knelt down in the heavy rain to kowtow to Shen Li a few days ago, she had a fever and then developed pneumonia.

At first, there was no money to treat her illness, so she kept coughing and never got better. It left a root of the disease and even burned her brain.

Song Baoer often feels that her brain is not responsive enough. When someone says something to her, she always takes a while to react and needs several seconds to figure out what is going on.

"Do you still feel the pain? You sickly thing! You just slack off all day long! What's the point of buying you back? You can't even do a little work, it's useless!" The woman said, raising her hand and slapping Song Baoer several times.

After all, Song Baoer was only five years old, and her face was already covered with slap marks, her ears were buzzing, and her mouth was bleeding.

She fell to the ground with a dazed look in her eyes, unable to move.

"Get up! Stop pretending to be dead!" The woman kicked her hard, causing Song Baoer to curl up. "The pigs at home haven't been fed yet! The cows haven't been fed yet! The chickens in the chicken coop haven't been fed either. You've been lazy all day long. Go and work for me!"

"If you don't finish your work, you won't be allowed to eat!"

The woman shouted ferociously.

Song Baoer felt terrible pain all over her body, and her stomach was growling with hunger.

She hadn't eaten for two days and two nights. If she didn't eat, she would get sick from hunger.

In order to survive, she had to work hard and try to please the family so that she could have enough to eat.

Song Baoer wiped the blood off her face and dragged her thin body towards the pigpen step by step.

By the time she managed to finish the work, an hour had passed.

Song Baoer returned to the house, and there was only a little soup and some porridge left on the table.

Not even a bun.

Looking at the soup with barely any vegetable leaves left, Song Baoer felt a pang of sourness in her heart.

My elder sister is spoiled like a little princess by Shen Li, so there is no delicious food she wants to eat.

I ate sea cucumbers, abalones and bird's nests, drank the best freshly squeezed juice, and wore imported skirts. But now, I can't even have a hot meal.

"I shouldn't have bought such a sickly thing! It's useless!" The woman glared at Song Baoer impatiently while eating melon and watching TV.

"Don't worry, wait until she grows up and can give birth, then let her give birth to eight or ten children for our family line! She will be of no use then." A fat man said with a low laugh.

Song Baoer shuddered all over, her scalp felt numb, as if she had fallen into an icy cave.

When she grows up, won't she become a reproductive machine for this family?

Song Baoer has already thought about her future. She will be forced to have children over and over again. She will be forced to get pregnant before her period ends. She will have to have children over and over again until she can no longer have children and her reproductive value is drained away...

She hated it! She hated it!

It was Shen Mengyue and Song Qingshan who ruined his life!

She couldn't sit there and wait for death any longer, she wanted to escape!

…

After Song Baoer had eaten her fill, she took advantage of the dark and windy night and waited until everyone in the family fell asleep before she began to think about escaping.

She rummaged through the money at home, holding her breath and moving furtively for fear of being discovered, and finally found ten yuan.

Afterwards, Song Baoer packed a small bag with some dry food and started to run away with the ten yuan.

But Song Baoer overestimated her body.

After all, she was only a five-year-old child, and her body was still weak. By the time she ran out of the small village, it was already early the next morning. She had exhausted all her strength, was tired and thirsty, and kept coughing on the road.

Until the roosters crowed, the lights in every house in the village lit up one by one——

After Iron Cow's mother woke up, she shouted as before, "Song Baoer, come and pour me a glass of water! I'm thirsty!"

But this time no one responded to her.

Iron Cow's mother was a little puzzled, "Where have you been, you little bitch? If you dare to be lazy again, I will starve you for three days and three nights, do you know that?!"

She began to search the whole house for Song Baoer. After searching the whole house, Tieniu Ma screamed and shouted, "Master, it's bad! That little bitch ran away!"
