However, he and Old Lady Shen had persuaded Guan Haifeng and his wife many times, telling them to be nicer to their daughter, saying that she was a caring little cotton-padded jacket. Unfortunately, it was of no use. As soon as they said it, they were scolded. They said that she was their girl, they could do whatever they wanted and the Shen family had no right to interfere.
So Old Man Shen was helpless. Seeing that Guan Xiaorui was really pitiful, he took out two candies and quietly stuffed them into her hands. "I say... baby, you are unlucky to have parents like that! But don't be afraid or discouraged. When you grow up, go out to work and stay away from your parents! If you work harder, you will definitely have a bright future!"
"Well...thank you Grandpa Fubao." Guan Xiaorui felt so sad to be cared for by someone who was not even her biological grandfather, and her tears fell down.
She has grown up so much, and only the Shen family will treat her well.
Mrs. Shen would give her some food if she saw she had nothing to eat. Fubao would also share some of the snacks her parents bought for her with her, and even gave her two beautiful skirts.
However, before the skirt was even worn, Guan Haifeng took it to the town to sell it. He used the money from the sale to play cards and lost it all in an instant.
After that, Guan Xiaorui never dared to ask for anything from the Shen family again.
Only when he was extremely hungry would he accept the food given by Old Lady Shen.
Guan Haifeng was very angry when he saw that she couldn't get anything from the Shen family, and he called her a waste and a money-loser every day.
When Li Chunhua was annoyed by the noise, she would beat her to vent her anger.
Guan Xiaorui still felt pain in her body because she was severely beaten by Li Chunhua two days ago when she said she wanted to go to school.
While beating her, he also said that there was no point for a girl to go to school. It was useless to study because she would get married sooner or later and live with someone else. It was a waste of money to let her go to school!
Therefore, she could only wait for Fubao's elder brother Shen Zhishu to come back and secretly ask him to teach her how to read.
Guan Xiaorui hid the two candies in the pocket of her worn shirt, and glanced at Huo Jinxi who was standing there as handsome as a legendary fairy boy. Seeing that he never looked at her, she bit her lip with red eyes, turned around and ran back to the house with her brother on her back.
Old Man Shen looked at her pitifully thin figure and sighed helplessly.
What a sin!
Guan Haifeng and his wife will get retribution sooner or later for treating their daughter like this!
Old man Shen turned around and was stunned to see Huo Jinxi talking to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai was lying on the Huo family boy's shoulder at the moment. He glanced at it and spoke in an imposing tone like an adult, "Do you remember what I just said?"
"Awoo awoo!" Xiaobai called out happily, as if he agreed.
A pair of golden eyes looked at him sparklingly, and she wanted to lick him, but Huo Jinxi pushed her away with a look of disgust on her face.
"Ah..." Xiaobai was pushed to the ground by him, looking up at him aggrievedly. His little appearance was so pitiful.
Old man Shen was a little surprised. Could it be that this little thing knew the child from the Huo family?
"Kid, what did you say to it just now?" Old Man Shen was very curious.
"I asked it to protect Fubao. If it can't do it, I will cut it."
"It... understood?"
Huo Jinxi did not answer, but instead cast a threatening look at Xiaobai.
Xiaobai hurriedly yelled "Awoo" twice, as if to say "I understand, I understand!"
"..." Old man Shen finally opened his eyes.
This world is truly full of wonders. He has lived for decades, but this is the first time he has seen such a human-like little creature!
