After Ning Wan returned, Shen Fu thought about it alone for a very long time.
Wanwan's mother treated her badly, beating and scolding her every day.
Despite being so small, not even as tall as a broom, she was always forced to do a lot of work.
Since no one cares about Wanwan, then he will.
He wants to spoil Wanwan and make her the cutest little girl in the world!
After giving myself a pep talk, I couldn't sleep through the night.
He went out and collected a sack full of bottles, and also stole a few steel bars from the construction site.
While passing a stall with a pushcart, Shen Fu spotted a very pretty hair clip.
The hair clip was covered with pink flowers, which matched Ning Wan's dress perfectly today.
Shen Fu had a gut feeling that Ning Wan would definitely like it.
He felt his pocket and bought it with the only two yuan he had.
Imagining Ning Wan's happy face as she put the hair clip in her hair, Shen Fu couldn't wait to give it to her.
After hiding the items, Shen Fu jogged to Ning Wan's house.
Before they even got close, they heard a piercing cry coming from the house across the street.
Chen Fu paused, his face turning pale.
It felt like being thrown into the cold, deep sea, and the blood in my body instantly froze.
It's Wanwan! ...
...
Ning Wan's shrill voice echoed throughout the entire block.
The neighbors, not daring to be curious, all kept their doors and windows tightly shut. Everyone held the belief that it was better to avoid trouble and did not want to get involved.
This wasn't the first time that family had beaten their child, but today they seemed particularly ruthless.
The child has been crying for over an hour and hasn't stopped.
Those repeated apologies and pleas for mercy were heart-wrenching.
A woman, unable to contain herself, wanted to help, but was stopped by those around her: "This is their family matter, what can you do?"
"Are we just going to watch them beat the child to death?"
"Sigh, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes... How are we supposed to get involved in something like this?"
...
The small, dilapidated bungalow was in a terrible state.
The white paint on the wall was covered with mottled stains, and some wall plaster was falling off.
The room was a mess, with tables and chairs overturned all over the floor.
Ning Wan lay on the ground, clutching her head, and cried helplessly.
She kept repeating, "Mommy, I'm sorry, Mommy, I'm sorry... Wanwan didn't, Wanwan didn't steal anything..."
Ning You stood to the side, crying and trembling.
She wanted to plead for mercy, but when her gaze fell on Su Lin's face, staring at that hideous face, she was too frightened to utter a sound.
Su Lin was exhausted from playing and sat down in a chair to rest, panting.
Several broken bamboo strips were still lying on the ground.
Su Lin glared fiercely at the person on the ground, then turned her gaze to Ning You with a sinister look: "The candy last time, was it given to her by you?"
Ning You stiffened under Su Lin's gaze.
His tongue seemed frozen, unable to utter a single word.
She nodded vigorously, testifying for Ning Wan.
Su Lin kicked Ning Wan, who was lying on the ground, impatiently: "Then let me ask you, which store did you steal the clothes you're wearing from?"
"And this money!" Su Lin threw the money at her fiercely. "Did you steal this money from home?!"
Su Lin found the money under Ning Wan's pillow.
The amount inside is not large.
There are five yuan, ten yuan, and also 1 mao and 5 mao.
Su Lin suspected that this girl must be stealing money from the family. In order to avoid being discovered, she deliberately took only a little bit each time.
“Wanwan didn’t steal it…” Wanwan cried until her voice was hoarse, but she still insisted, “The dress was given to me by Brother Aman… Brother gave me the money too. Wanwan didn’t steal it…”
"You shameless hussy, still stubborn as a mule. Why should someone buy you clothes or give you money for no reason!"
"If you didn't steal it, then you must have sold it! Doing this kind of thing at such a young age, I'll beat you to death now so you won't embarrass me in the future!"
After saying that, Su Lin angrily picked up the bamboo strips from the ground again.
Seeing this, Ning You quickly stepped forward to stop them.
She knelt down with a thud, hugging Su Lin's legs and pleading desperately, "Mommy, please stop hitting her! You can't hit her anymore! Wanwan will really die!"
"Now even you, you brat, dare to defy me?" Su Lin's anger flared up: "Get out!"
She flung Ning You aside and raised the bamboo stick high, ready to lash Wanwan.
The next second, Shen Fu kicked open the wooden door.
Seeing the little girl lying on the ground covered in wounds, Shen Fu could hardly believe his eyes.
That's his little girl.
Just a few hours ago, she was wearing beautiful new clothes and dancing happily in front of me.
Why is he now curled up and lying there?
The skirt was torn in several places by the bamboo strips, and blood oozed from the wounds, staining the new clothes red.
Ning Wan lay there helplessly, motionless.
It was as if it had fallen silent.
The blood that had been congealed surged through his body, and all his hatred coalesced at his fingertips.
He clenched his fists tightly beneath the hem of his robe, making a cracking sound.
He was so angry that his teeth chattered and his whole body went numb.
Su Lin looked at the boy in front of her and instinctively sensed danger.
She yelled, "Who are you? Get out of here right now!"
With a flick of the bamboo stick, Chen Fu grabbed it tightly.
Su Lin tried to pull it back, but the bamboo strips didn't budge.
She strained again, but unexpectedly, Chen Fu suddenly let go. Su Lin, still attached to the bamboo strip, fell heavily to the ground.
She lay sprawled on the ground, clutching her injured waist and buttocks, yelling, "You just wait! I'm calling the police! I'm definitely calling the police to arrest you!!!"
Shen Fu ignored her.
He walked around Ning You and slowly went over to pick up Ning Wan from the ground.
She was so light, so very light.
Holding it in my arms, it feels like it has no weight at all.
Even so, Shen Fu still protected her carefully, as if she were a fragile glass doll.
"Wanwan, don't be afraid. Brother Aman is here."
Upon hearing Shen Fu's voice, Ning Wan slowly opened her eyes a crack.
She tried to give him a bright smile and said, "...Brother Aman, what brings you here?"
"I wanted to see Wanwan, so I came."
Shen Fu didn't want to cry in front of the little girl.
No matter how much abuse and grievance he suffered in the Shen family, he gritted his teeth and refused to cry.
For him, crying was a sign of weakness.
It is proof of one's own incompetence and one's compromise and begging for mercy from the other party.
But at this moment, his voice choked with sobs. Tears streamed uncontrollably down Ning Wan's face: "From now on, brother will protect Wan Wan, brother will love Wan Wan. Brother won't let anyone bully Wan Wan, okay?"
Ning Wan, tears streaming down her face, laughed and cried at the same time: "Okay..."
