Suman's family already had a lot of food, and with some donated by the villagers, it was more than enough for them to eat.
Zhou Pingping had a high fever and was unconscious. Grandma Zhou fed her some rice soup, but she ate half a bowl and started vomiting.
Zhou Pingping, who was unconscious from the burn, muttered to herself, "Help... Don't come over, don't kill me..."
Seeing her like this, Grandma Zhou couldn't eat anymore. "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. Grandma said so much but you refused to listen. Now you're suffering. Sigh."
Grandma Zhou wiped her tears and wiped her hands, feet and forehead with the boiled herbal soup.
Zhou Pingping woke up just before dawn. She had been having nightmares all night long. Sweat stuck to her hair. She kept shaking her head, "Let me go! Let me go!"
Grandma Zhou was a very light sleeper. After being woken up by Zhou Pingping, she quickly hugged her and comforted her, "Pingping, it's grandma, grandma is..."
Zhou Pingping slowly opened her eyes and looked around in confusion. Was she back?
Yes, my aunt rescued her.
"Where's my aunt? She's in the fire, she's hurt!"
"No, no, that was Pingping's nightmare. It's okay."
With Grandma Zhou's comfort, Zhou Pingping gradually regained consciousness. She looked around and made sure that she had left that hellish place. She buried herself in Grandma Zhou's arms and cried bitterly.
"Grandma, Pingping is so scared. Pingping thought she would never come back..."
Grandma Zhou was both distressed and angry. Zhou Pingping was trembling all over and had a fever. It was not appropriate to say anything to her at this time, so she could only comfort her, "It's okay, it's all over."
Zhou Pingping cried until she fell asleep again. Although she would still wake up from nightmares, fortunately her high fever subsided little by little.
...
Zhou Pingping's injuries were not clear, but children recover quickly and her skin and flesh began to heal within a few days.
After a visit to the bandit's lair, Zhou Pingping spoke less and knew how to help.
Grandma Zhou was very pleased and felt that Zhou Pingping had finally grown up.
However, Zhou Anan's attitude towards Zhou Pingping has become much colder. After so many things that happened, he has become disappointed with his sister and no longer takes care of her as he used to.
If it were the Zhou Pingping of the past, she would definitely make a fuss about this, but instead of losing her temper, the Zhou Pingping now just quietly did her job.
We passed by a small river that day, and after drawing water, everyone started washing and scrubbing.
Su Man and Zhao Yuru were washing clothes when suddenly someone appeared next to them.
Zhou Pingping sat down without saying a word, took out a piece of clothing from the pile of clothes behind Su Man and rubbed it like Su Man did.
It was a thick long gown, which became much heavier after being soaked in water. Zhou Pingping had a very difficult time washing it, struggling with the clothes with all her strength.
Su Man looked at it with amusement. This little troublemaker started to work?
Zhao Yuru was also amused, "Pingping, those clothes are almost as heavy as you, let me wash them."
"don't want."
Zhou Pingping became stubborn again. When she couldn't wash it, she rubbed it a little bit at a time and washed it away piece by piece. It always got clean.
Seeing that she insisted, Suman didn't care and let her go.
During dinner time, Zhou Pingping helped Grandma Zhou serve the rice. She served a bowl to everyone else and only had half a bowl for herself.
After dinner, he went to clean up the dishes before Zhao Yuru, and carried them to the river to wash them with great effort.
Zhou Anan frowned, "Don't be so stubborn. If you break all the bowls again, we won't be able to use them anymore."
It's no wonder Zhou Anan said that. Zhou Pingping used to do more harm than good. It's good enough that she can take care of herself, so why do you want her to take care of others?
Zhou Pingping's eyes immediately turned red when she heard Zhou Anan's words. She knew they all hated her and despised her, but she didn't cry. She pouted and said, "I can do it."
After saying that, she picked up the pots and pans and walked towards the river tremblingly.
At this time, many villagers were washing pots and pans by the river, and they were amazed to see Zhou Pingping.
"Isn't that Pingping from the Zhou family? Why is she washing dishes here by herself? She looks so well behaved."
"What's so good about her? She has no conscience. Her aunt rescued her from the bandits before, but she was not only ungrateful, but also called her a bad woman. She has no manners at all."
"Yes, if she was more sensible, her aunt would have less to worry about. If it weren't for her, why would her aunt go to that bandit's den?"
"Exactly. If it were me, I would have abandoned her long ago. I'm not her biological parent, so why would I care whether she lives or dies?"
"Who says it's not true? Tsk tsk, this kid is just impossible to tame."
“…”
The villagers remember Suman's kindness and feel sorry for her.
Zhou Pingping listened and secretly shed tears while washing dishes.
It turns out that in everyone's eyes, she is an ungrateful bad kid. What right does she have to call her aunt a bad woman? She is obviously a hundred times worse than her aunt.
Now everyone hates her and her brother doesn't talk to her anymore. She really regrets it.
Zhou Pingping wiped her tears with her sleeve. She couldn't cry. She had to perform well and let everyone see her changes.
Zhou Pingping washed the dishes carefully and ran into Widow Song when she was carrying them back.
Without Wang Xiuxiu's support, Widow Song's family could only flatter and borrow potatoes from one family and a handful of wild vegetables from another.
After borrowing so many times, the villagers are no longer willing to borrow.
No one has enough food, so who would be willing to be taken advantage of if someone borrows something without returning it?
Widow Song went around in circles today but couldn't borrow any food. She cursed these stingy villagers in her heart.
And that little bitch Wang Man, if she hadn't instigated things, she wouldn't have broken up with Wang Xiuxiu.
