Chapter 81 Catastrophic Typhoon?

"Xiaohua, why are you here?" Su Ranran was a little surprised.

Zhang Xiaohua didn't seem to expect that she would come to the vegetable field at this time, and was immediately startled, with a somewhat panicked expression on her face.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just here to take a look at the vegetable garden."

Knowing that she grew up in a bad environment, Su Ranran tried to soften her voice as much as possible every time she spoke to her.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaohua's face was no longer so tense.

"I...I watered my aunt's vegetables."

Looking at her face that was red from the sun, Su Ranran felt helpless.

"Auntie, you can do it by yourself. The sun is too strong today. You should go back early to avoid getting a heat stroke."

But when Zhang Xiaohua heard this, the light in his eyes dimmed a little.

"I...I will be careful...not to spoil your food."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at her eagerly, with a look of fear on her face that showed she was afraid of being rejected.

Su Ranran felt a little strange, and after a pause, she asked calmly: "Who asked you to help Auntie water the pot?"

For fear of scaring her, Su Ranran spoke softer.

But Zhang Xiaohua pursed her lips tightly and refused to say anything no matter how she asked.

Although she didn't want to say who asked her to come, she insisted on helping her water the plants.

Su Ranran was not clear about this. It was probably her mother who asked her to come.

Although Su Ranran didn't know Wang Chunmei, it was not difficult to guess from the words of other military wives that she was the kind of person who would do such a thing.

Thinking of this, she patted the boy's shoulder gently and continued, "I am very happy that you can help me, but the sun is too strong now, so you should go back first. Come to my house next morning and call me, and we can come together, okay?"

Su Ranran did not reject her directly, but chose a roundabout way.

For a child who has been criticized and denied for a long time, she refused. She would probably think about it for a long time after returning home, wondering if she had done something wrong again.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua's expression relaxed again.

With a face flushed by the sun, her voice was a little excited.

"Then I'll go find my aunt tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll wait for you tomorrow. You go back first." Su Ranran urged again.

The hat on her head couldn't be given away to anyone casually, but there were no wild grasses or trees nearby that could make a straw hat for her, so she had no choice but to urge Zhang Xiaohua to leave the vegetable field quickly.

Even she herself didn't plan to stay any longer.

She just came to see how her vegetables were growing, and then went to the South Island base to water the sweet potato seedlings.

After Su Ranran's persuasion, Zhang Xiaohua agreed to go back.

Su Ranran smiled, and using her pocket as a cover, she took out some dried fruits and put them in her pocket before saying, "Go ahead."

Zhang Xiaohua walked a long way before he carefully reached into his pocket and searched.

There is a handful of dried fruits in the palm of my hand. They look ordinary in color, but they smell sweet and fragrant.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help swallowing.

Just as I was about to put it in my mouth, I suddenly saw a group of children walking towards me not far away.

Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were filled with fear, and the blood in her body seemed to be frozen. She stood there motionless.

"Look, it's that morning glory." The leading child pointed at her and said with a smile.

The others also laughed so hard that they fell over.

"Hey, Morning Glory, are you waiting for me here?"

The little boy had already walked up to her, and as he spoke, he reached out and pulled her braid.

Zhang Xiaohua was so frightened that she dared not resist.

She looked around in panic, but apart from the laughing child, who else was there?

The fear of being bullied once again dominated her, and Zhang Xiaohua was shaking violently.

"Look, she has food in her hand." Suddenly, someone shouted.

When they heard that she had food, no one cared what she had and they just grabbed it.

Zhang Xiaohua's small body couldn't even handle a little boy, let alone a group of them.

In a short while, her hair was pulled into a mess and her pockets were emptied!

But she didn't even dare to cry.

Afraid of being beaten again!

In the midst of the chaos, she suddenly heard a loud shout!

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked up and saw several other little boys glaring at the child who had stolen things with anger on their faces.

"Master, why do I need to tell you what I am doing?"

I don't know where the kid learned those words, but he acted like a complete gangster.

But Huzi has been fearless since he was young, and the whole family compound has been harmed by him. How could he be afraid of these little wild kids?

In just a moment, both sides were on the verge of a fight, as if they were about to start fighting in the next second.

How could Zhang Xiaohua, who had finally been ignored, dare to stay there any longer?

Without caring whether the two groups would fight, she ran towards the family compound.

Sure enough, she hadn't run far when she heard a fight behind her.

Zhang Xiaomei was so frightened that her mind went blank and she just ran away without caring about anything else.

Just after she rushed into the family compound, she suddenly thought of something and walked towards the sentry on guard with trepidation...

Wang Chunmei was washing things at home. The pot in her hand had been polished to a shine.

But she still didn't put it down. Instead, she rinsed it repeatedly with water several times before she was satisfied.

But there was not much water left in the jar.

Wang Chunmei picked up the shoulder pole on the corner with familiarity, picked up the bucket and prepared to go out to fetch water, just as she did every day.

She is the one who fetches water for the house, in the morning and in the afternoon.

But just as she walked to the door, she ran into Zhang Xiaohua, who looked panic-stricken.

Seeing her, Wang Chunmei couldn't help but frown.

"Why are you back? Didn't I ask you to help Aunt Su with cooking? How can you be so lazy as a girl? Why is it so difficult to get you to do some work?"

Hearing her scolding, Zhang Xiaohua shuddered subconsciously?

Seeing her like this, Wang Chunmei became even angrier.

"How dare you look at me? If you don't work hard, we'll both be sent back home!"

When Zhang Xiaohua heard that he was going to be sent back to his hometown, his already pale face turned even paler!

"I'm working, don't send me back!"

When she thought about her hometown where she had nothing to eat or wear and was beaten all the time, she couldn't stop shaking.

Seeing that she was obedient, Wang Chunmei was satisfied.

"Now that you know it, why don't you go pick up two bundles of firewood? Cook the rice later. After I fetch water, I have to go plant sweet potatoes."

After saying that, Wang Chunmei went out again carrying the bucket.

Only after she walked away did Zhang Xiaohua look down at his bleeding hand.

On the other side, Su Ranran, who had just finished watering the sweet potato field, suddenly remembered something very important.

I saw something online in my previous life that seemed to have been a catastrophic typhoon along the southeastern coast in the 1970s?
