Her hair was always disheveled and messy. Her hair was yellow and her face was sallow, unlike Fubao's fair and pink complexion. Guan Xiaorui felt that she was ugly and felt even more inferior. She also envied Fubao even more.
She was watching intently when Li Chunhua happened to walk out of the house.
When she saw the family next door going out, especially when she saw Fubao being surrounded in the middle, Li Chunhua snorted with disdain.
The money-loser was wearing a silk scarf, right? What's wrong with this family? They cut up such a good silk scarf and used it as a headpiece?
What a waste, I might as well give it to her!
Besides, the Shen family really didn't know how to behave. They went to the county town and bought so many things, but there was no share for her family. They didn't even give her a silk scarf. Li Chunhua got angry when she thought about it.
She turned around and saw Guan Xiaorui staring at Fubao blankly. She became even angrier and slapped her hard on the back of her head. "What are you looking at? Are you envious of other people's families? Then go be someone else's daughter. If you keep looking, I'll beat you to death!"
Guan Xiaorui staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Her eyes instantly turned red and she whimpered, "Mom..."
"What mom? You mean your mom? I didn't want to give birth to a money-losing thing like you. Go to hell! I get annoyed when I see you!" Li Chunhua cursed angrily, and then grabbed her hair and slapped her a few times.
Normally, if the Shen family saw Li Chunhua beating and scolding the child like this, they would definitely stop it, and Guan Xiaorui also placed her hopes on them. However, the Shen family had already gone far away, and no one helped her.
Guan Xiaorui was stunned by the beating. Her face felt burning with pain. She dared not breathe and could only cry silently.
The little boy next to her saw his sister being beaten and scolded, but instead of helping, he laughed out loud, "Ka, ka, ka!" as if he had seen something funny.
He was young and didn't know what it meant to favor boys over girls, but he had always been influenced by the actions of Li Chunhua and Guan Haifeng, and subconsciously felt that his sister deserved to be beaten.
So even when he saw Guan Xiaorui being beaten to the ground, or even injured and bleeding, he didn't feel anything. He would even join his parents in beating her, cursing at the same time, occasionally saying a vicious word or using rough language, which he learned from his parents.
"Bang!" Li Chunhua knocked Guan Xiaorui to the ground with one last blow, then pulled up the little boy's hand.
When facing her son, her attitude changed instantly, and her voice became much gentler. "Son, I don't count on this money-loser. I will count on you in the future. You have to be more capable, make money for me when you grow up, and take care of me in my old age, understand?"
The little boy just smiled foolishly at the embarrassed Guan Xiaorui. He didn't take his mother's words to heart, and he didn't understand them either.
Seeing Li Chunhua pulling her brother into the house and speaking softly to him, Guan Xiaorui felt even more wronged. In addition, her scalp and face hurt a lot, especially her face, which must have been swollen again. She felt extremely wronged and tears fell down in big drops.
Why is it that Fubao and I are both girls, but she can live so well? As for me, I am beaten and scolded every day, and I am not even as good as the animals raised in other people's homes!
Living in such an environment since childhood forced Guan Xiaorui to mature early. She sat on the ground, looking at Li Chunhua's back angrily, not caring about her swollen face and bleeding mouth, and her hands dug into the ground tightly...
…
Not long after, the Shen family arrived at the old village chief's house.
