Zhou's mother took Panpan back home as quickly as possible.

As she approached the door of her home, Zhou's mother subconsciously slowed down her pace.

I dared not even breathe.

Now, whenever she stepped into the courtyard, she felt suffocated.

Panpan looked at Zhou's mother in confusion.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou's mother looked at Panpan and couldn't bear it.

I thought that although Zhang San was a beast without any humanity, he wouldn't bully a little girl!

If that's the case, then they are worse than animals.

She took a deep breath, held Panpan's hand, and walked into the house.

The house was quiet and Zhang San seemed not to be there.

Mother Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly took Panpan to Zhou Ying's room.

Walk to the door and gently push it open.

The room was dark and messy.

The curtains completely blocked out the sunlight.

Not a single ray of light can get in.

Panpan walked into the house with a frown on her face.

After my eyes adjusted to the dim light for a while, I found a woman with messy hair and a swollen and bruised face in the corner of the room.

The woman was skinny and huddled in a corner, her eyes hollow and lifeless.

Panpan's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Zhou Ying, who was curled up in the corner, in disbelief.

She walked over carefully and stopped in front of Zhou Ying.

With a trembling voice, he shouted, "Mom."

Zhou Ying's numb expression suddenly showed a hint of emotion.

The empty eyes gradually focused on Panpan.

When I saw who was coming, I was panicked for a moment.

"Panpan." Zhou Ying's voice was hoarse, with a heavy nasal tone after crying.

"Mom, how did you become like this? Who beat you? Why are you so thin?"

Panpan's eyes turned red, she squatted down, and touched Zhou Ying's face with heartache.

"Mom, does it hurt?"

Zhou Ying burst into tears instantly.

She never thought that one day she would feel happy under the comfort of her daughter.

Even at this moment, Zhou Ying felt that she had lived enough.

Even if I die, I will have no regrets.

After all, her daughter still loves her.

This life has not been lived in vain.

Suddenly, Zhou Ying came to his senses.

She pushed Panpan away and yelled, "Go away! Who asked you to come here?"

Panpan was pushed to the ground unexpectedly and burst into tears.

"Mom." Panpan wanted to hug Zhou Ying.

Once again, he was ruthlessly pushed away by Zhou Ying.

"Go! I told you to go quickly!"

"Bang."

There was a loud noise at the door.

Zhang San stood there with a gloomy face.

His eyes fell on Panpan.

There was a glimmer of cruelty in his eyes.

He walked forward, grabbed Panpan's hair and pulled it back.

Zhou Ying was terrified.

He rushed over and hugged Zhang San's legs, begging, "Please don't hurt her. You can hit me or scold me, but please don't hurt her."

Hearing this, Zhang San became even angrier.

He said viciously, "This is your daughter, right? Humph, you gave birth to four little bastards for others. Why can't you lay eggs for me when you are so fertile?"

“Pah.”

Zhang San slapped Pan Pan in the face in a rage and yelled, "You are a piece of shit that has been played with by others. I am going to beat you to death today, you little bastard. If you don't leave me with offspring, I won't let you have any offspring either."

“Pah.”

Zhang San slapped Panpan on the face again.

Suddenly, the little girl's cheeks became completely red and swollen.

Panpan never expected this to happen.

Who is this person in front of me?

Why did you hit her?

Why would you say such vicious words to your mother?

Panpan was so stunned that she couldn't even cry.

Zhou Ying was scared to death.

If Panpan had an accident today, Xu Zhengyang would kill her!

Zhou Ying pleaded helplessly, "Please let her go! She is just a child! If you hurt her, her father will kill you."

Zhou Ying originally wanted to scare Zhang San.

But unexpectedly, this became the fuse for his violence.

Zhang San kicked Zhou Ying away.

He grabbed Panpan's hair and slammed her against the wall.

Suddenly, the little girl's head was bleeding.

After venting his anger, he threw the man to the ground like a dead dog.

“Pan Pan.”

Zhou Ying crawled towards the little man on the ground like a madman.

His thin body lay on Panpan, bearing Zhang San's punches and kicks for her.

Zhou's mother and father stood by helplessly.

I was so anxious that I almost fainted.

Zhou's mother kept looking outside the courtyard gate.

I was screaming in my heart, why hasn’t Xu Zhengyang come yet, why hasn’t he come yet!

If something really happened to Panpan today, she would not be able to survive!

Here at Xu's house.

After Zhou's mother left, Shen Jiaojiao went back.

In the yard, there was a bag of brown sugar left by Zhou's mother.

She frowned, but finally put the brown sugar at the door of the main room.

Wait for my eldest brother to come back and then tell him in detail what happened when Zhou's mother came over just now.

This time Shen Jiaojiao learned her lesson.

To prevent anyone from running into the house to cause trouble again, she simply locked the gate.

After locking the gate, Shen Jiaojiao carried Ping An back to the house.

The boy's eyes were still rolling around, and he had no idea what had just happened.

Shen Jiaojiao put the person on the kang, looked at the watch on her wrist, and it was time for the little guy to drink milk.

I mixed maltose with spring water and gave it to the kid to drink.

Time flies by while taking care of children.

It's almost noon.

There was a knock on the door outside the yard.

At this time, the boy had fallen asleep.

Shen Jiaojiao walked out of the room, walked to the gate of the courtyard and opened it.

They are a group of little penguins coming back from school.

Shen Jiaojiao counted them one by one, "One, two, three, four, five, six?"

"Why didn't Panpan come back?"

In the past, this group of young guys always went home together.

Wait said, "Sister and grandma went home."

Shen Jiaojiao was suddenly confused.

It was like something exploded in my head.

Zhou's mother took Panpan away.

Then why did she come to find Ping An before?

Shen Jiaojiao suddenly understood.

When Zhou's mother came here today, she really wanted to take Ping An away.

But she failed, and finally went to find Panpan.

What on earth does she want to do?

Shen Jiaojiao suddenly had a bad feeling.

She asked, "Wait, did you ask your sister what she was doing at grandma's house?"

Wait shook his head and said, "My sister wanted me to go with her, but I didn't like going to my grandma's house, so I ran away.

Oh, my sister said that mom misses us."

Shen Jiaojiao felt that things were not that simple.

The Zhou family must have some plans for the child, which is why they took the child away again and again.

"No, we have to go find Panpan. We can't let her go to Zhou's house alone."

Shen Jiaojiao was feeling very nervous.

She looked around outside the gate.

The adults at home haven't come back yet.

Shen Jiaojiao said to Yijin, "Yijin, go to the mountain to find your uncle and third uncle, tell them that I went to Zhou's house, and ask them to find me there as soon as possible."

Yijin nodded and ran away quickly.

Shen Jiaojiao then gave instructions to the other children at home.

"After I leave, you must lock the gate and go to grandma's room to keep watch. If a stranger knocks on the door, don't open it. Got it?"

The kids were smart and nodded without asking any more questions.

Shen Jiaojiao gave instructions and watched the guys lock the gate before running to Zhou's house.
