At noon that day, Li Mingxi and Ermao had just picked up their lunch and returned to the classroom door when they heard a burst of laughter from a distance.
"You little bitch, you've become so fat, and you still eat every day. Give me the food, quickly."
"That's right, Brother Champion, we can't even afford to eat, and this guy can still eat so much?"
"No way, doesn't her father work in a state-owned restaurant?" As he said that, he snatched the bowl from the girl's hand.
"Hey, what is this? It's not as good as mine!"
"What are you doing? Don't bully others." Li Mingxi saw this scene as soon as he entered the room.
Yang Guanjun looked up and saw that it was the youngest girl in the class. He laughed evilly and said, "None of your business, kid. I advise you to mind your own business!"
Wang Dagang echoed, "That's right, be careful or I'll beat you up!"
At this time, Ermao came in and shouted, "What did you say? You dare to hit her? Go and see!"
Yang Guanjun knew Ermao, and when he saw it was him, his expression changed immediately, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."
Ermao snorted coldly, "Why don't you let her go quickly? What's the point of bullying a girl?"
"Let's go now," Yang Guanjun said and led Wang Dagang out of the classroom. Before leaving, he glared at Dong Sisi fiercely.
Wang Dagang couldn't believe it. "No, Brother Guanjun, are we leaving now?"
Yang Guanjun slapped Wang Dagang on the head and said, "What do you know? This Ermao is from the brigade next door. He's really good at fighting. No one in our area dares to mess with him."
It turned out that when Ermao was a child, he went fishing and happened to meet the children from the Red Flag Brigade. In order to fight for territory, the two sides fought a fierce battle. Ermao became famous because of that fight.
Later, when the people from the Hongqi Brigade met Ermao and his group while fishing, they would take the initiative to give up their seats. Yang Guanjun happened to be one of the children from the Hongqi Commune at that time, so he was deeply impressed by Ermao.
As soon as Yang Guanjun and Wang Dagang left, Li Mingxi hurried forward and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, thank you."
Li Mingxi was puzzled. "They bullied you, why didn't you resist?"
Dong Sisi said timidly, "It's okay, I'm used to it. Besides, what they said is not wrong."
"Then why didn't you tell your teacher or parents?"
"My grandma said my dad is too busy at work and I can't waste his time every day," Dong Sisi said in a mosquito-like voice.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he spoke again, "You shouldn't have helped me. Anyone who helps me will be in trouble."
Li Mingxi felt a little uncomfortable listening to the girl's words, "No, I've had the best luck since I was a child. If you don't believe me, ask my brother Ermao!"
"That's right, our Xiaoxi has been lucky since he was young!"
Looking at the timid girl in front of him, Li Mingxi wanted to help her and said directly: "Let's be friends!"
Dong Sisi kept shaking her head, "No, you can't do this! You'll be in trouble!"
Li Mingxi said nonchalantly, "How can you know if you don't try? It's settled. I declare that from now on you are my good friend!"
From that day on, Li Mingxi gained her first friend in this world, and Dong Sisi also gradually became bolder under Li Mingxi's guidance.
Through their time together, Li Mingxi also learned that Dong Sisi's biological mother used to work at the county textile factory. She later died trying to save the goods after the factory caught fire. Afterward, her father was introduced to Wang Fang, who also had a child. A few years ago, her stepmother gave birth to a younger brother. She said her stepmother treated her well, but Li Mingxi disagreed, wondering why she wouldn't allow Dong Sisi to go to school in the county.
That day, Li Mingxi met an old lady with gray hair at the school gate. She asked everyone she met if they knew Dong Sisi. She thought that this person must be Dong Sisi's relative, so she walked up to her.
"Grandma, I know her. Are you her relative?"
The old lady grabbed Li Mingxi's arm and said, "You know her. Come on, take me to find her."
Although the old lady was old, her grip was quite strong. She scratched her arm until it turned red. Li Mingxi grimaced in pain, "Grandma, you hurt me!"
Hearing this, the old lady smiled awkwardly, "I'm so sorry, where is that girl Sisi?"
"He should be in class now!"
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the classroom, I saw Dong Sisi reading a book in her seat.
As soon as the old lady saw Dong Sisi, she immediately let go of Li Mingxi's arm and said, "Sisi, grandma is happy to see you!"
Dong Sisi was a little surprised to see Mrs. Chen. "Grandma, why are you here? What's going on? Why didn't you go home?"
Mrs. Chen pretended to wipe away her tears, "Why would I go home? Your stepmother is here, how could I dare to go in?"
Dong Sisi looked embarrassed, "Grandma, don't say that, she's fine!"
Mrs. Chen snorted, "Bullshit! If it were good, you wouldn't be taking up your mother's job at the textile factory!"
At this time, some people had already entered the class. Seeing that everyone was looking over here, Dong Sisi hurriedly pulled Mrs. Chen outside.
Mrs. Chen was puzzled. "Why are you pulling me outside?"
Dong Sisi whispered, "It's not good for others to hear this."
Mrs. Chen scolded, "What's wrong with that? I don't know who you look like. Why did your mother, who has such a bad temper, give birth to a softie like you?"
Dong Sisi hadn't heard this so many times that she was used to it. She asked, "Grandma, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"I can't look for you if there's nothing wrong, right? Look at what you're saying, girl? By the way, why are you different now than before? You talk so much more?" Mrs. Chen looked at Dong Sisi in confusion.
"Nothing, just made a friend."
Mrs. Chen nodded and said, "It's good to make friends, it's good to make friends, but don't listen to your stepmother. She said that whoever gets close to you will be unlucky. She's lying to you!"
Dong Sisi looked at Mrs. Chen helplessly, "Grandma, what's the matter? Tell me quickly, I have to go to class soon!"
Mrs. Chen patted her hands and said, "It's your uncle who found a partner and insisted on having a job. Where can we get one for our family? He thought your mother's job is currently occupied by that woman, so why not give it back to her and give it to you later?"
"But I can't make the decision, Grandma. You know Aunt Wang is doing that job right now. Will she agree?"
Mrs. Chen snorted coldly, "Even if she doesn't want to, she has to agree. That's what your mother left for you, not hers. I'll go and talk to her together."
At this time, the class bell rang, and seeing that the teacher was about to enter the classroom, Dong Sisi had no choice but to agree, "Okay, then I will go to class first."
Li Mingxi was a little surprised to see Dong Sisi entering the classroom with a heavy heart, but because the class was about to start and the teacher had already entered the classroom, she didn't ask too much. It was not until the get out of class was over that she found out why Mrs. Chen came to see her.
Li Mingxi asked, "So what are you going to do? The job is in her hands now."
Dong Sisi shook her head. "I don't know either. I think she'll listen to my grandma's advice, even though she's doing it for my uncle!"
