Even Ning Jing, who was usually very calm, couldn't help but gasp.
Ning Jing's heart stirred, and she reached out to pull open the patched-up coat that Xiao Feng was wearing over her clothes.
Beneath her clothes, her thin, bony body was covered in bruises that were almost healed. Some of the bruises were new, with red spots under the skin that hadn't yet changed color, a truly shocking sight.
"Who hit me?"
Ning Jing's voice trembled slightly, clearly from anger.
Xiao Feng bit her lower lip, then shook her head without saying anything.
Xiao Ying, with a fruit candy in her mouth, glanced at her older sister and then at Ning Jing.
Then, somewhat indistinctly, he said, "My parents beat me."
Ning Jing had guessed what was going on when she saw that Xiao Feng was unwilling to talk about it.
Now that Xiao Ying had seen through it, he thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
However, the world she lived in now is not the same era as it was back then.
Even in her time, it wasn't uncommon for parents to hit or scold their children unless it went too far.
After all, many people think that if parents hit their children, it must be because the children are disobedient and don't know any better!
Of course, there are quite a few disobedient and naughty children.
But Ning Jing believes that there are no bad kids in the world, only bad parents.
If the parents hadn't had problems with their parenting, would the child have been so unruly?
In this time and space, under the current circumstances.
Ning Jing couldn't find a good way to help Xiao Feng and her two sisters.
The parents of the three sisters are all alive. Even if she wanted to adopt these three children, there's nothing she can do if their parents don't agree.
It is also very likely that Fu Xiuye and her husband will use these three sisters to blackmail them for benefits.
The only way is to find a solution that satisfies both sides.
But where can you find such an easy solution?
Ning Jing frowned, but her hands kept moving as she dressed Xiao Feng.
She asked softly, "You must not have eaten lunch, right? Your aunt will go and cook for you first. You two sit still and behave yourselves!"
After saying that, Ning Jing ran into the kitchen, poured out some flour, cracked in some eggs, chopped some scallions, and made a few scallion pancakes.
After the three children finished eating, they were taken to the Zhao family's house next door to play with the twins.
He hurriedly headed towards the coal mine.
Whether it's Fu Xiuye's scheming against her second sister or the beating of the three children, this matter should be discussed with Fu Hongxing.
Even if he had to step in, no one could gossip about Fu Hongxing, as his uncle, taking the lead.
After all, in the countryside, there's a saying: "Thunder in the sky, maternal uncle on the ground."
To put it bluntly, even if Xiaofeng and the other two were to get married, they should at least inform Fu Hongxing so that he could consider their options.
If he doesn't like it, the marriage is very likely to fall through.
Even for matters like dividing the family property for elder care, they would call their uncle to act as a notary.
Previously, because of Fu Xiuye, Fu Hongxing was unwilling to get involved in the Zhang family's affairs.
In his heart, no matter what, Xiaofeng and the others were still Zhang family children.
As for Fu Xiuye and Zhang Dagen, as their biological parents, they would never be so cruel to their children.
When Ning Jing arrived at the coal mine, she found Fu Hongxing and called him to the tree outside. She then told Fu Hongxing everything that Xiao Feng and the other two had told her that day, including the injuries on Xiao Feng's body and head.
Fu Hongxing clenched his fists in anger, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he punched the tree trunk next to him with all his might.
