Chapter 98: Every Family Has Its Own Problems (I)
The next morning, when Lu Xiaoxiao got up, she saw that Zhang Xu and the others were no longer at home. If she hadn't seen a pile of washed dishes on the kang table, she would have thought she had dreamed yesterday.
When she picked up the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to put them into the kitchen, she saw a stack of money and bills under the bowl. She did not look at the amount of money and bills, but directly put them into the space together with the money Zhang Xu had given her before.
Then she couldn't help but think in her heart that Zhang Xu really thought this was a hotel.
Zhang Xu, who was far away in the secret base, suddenly sneezed. He touched his nose and thought: Could it be that the little girl missed him?
Lu Xiaoxiao was sweating profusely after practicing her martial arts. She entered the space, took a shower, ate a bowl of wonton soup, and then left the space. Then she picked up the backpack and walked towards the place where grass was cut for pigs in the back mountain. Today, she had an appointment with Liu Ermei to cut grass for pigs there together.
When she was about to reach the place where grass was cut for pigs, she saw a figure busy there from afar. She didn't expect Liu Ermei to come so early, so she hurriedly quickened her pace and walked towards Liu Ermei.
After Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the place where grass was cut for pigs and put down the backpack, she greeted Liu Ermei with a smile.
After hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, Liu Ermei did not raise her head, but just responded in a low voice.
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw Liu Ermei's look, she thought she was shy, so she didn't take it too seriously.
But after that, no matter what she said to her, Liu Ermei would respond to her, but she never raised her head.
Liu Ermei's strange behavior quickly caught her attention, so she shouted loudly: "Ermei, there is a snake."
Liu Ermei was frightened when she heard the snake, so she immediately raised her head and looked around, without noticing Lu Xiaoxiao who was standing motionless beside her.
Liu Ermei looked around for a long time but didn't find any snake. She seemed to have noticed something and quickly lowered her head, then held the corner of her clothes tightly with both hands.
To be honest, Lu Xiaoxiao was shocked when she saw Liu Ermei's swollen face. Who would be so cruel to be so cruel to a child? But then she thought that Liu Ermei was injured and still had to come to cut grass for pigs, so this matter was probably related to Liu Ermei's family.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked up to Liu Ermei, then lifted her head with her hand and said to her, "Ermei, if you still consider me a friend, tell me what happened."
She waited for a long time but Liu Ermei didn't speak, so she turned around and prepared to leave. But the moment she turned around, her hand was grabbed by someone, and then she heard a very soft voice: "I'll tell you."
Lu Xiaoxiao sat on the ground and listened to Liu Ermei talk for more than ten minutes, and finally understood what was going on.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ermei’s beating had something to do with her. It should be said that the cause of this incident was the two candies she gave to Liu Ermei.
Before she parted with Liu Ermei yesterday, she gave Liu Ermei two candies. Liu Ermei was reluctant to eat them and took the candies home to give to her two younger sisters.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ermei's two younger sisters were seen eating candy by the youngest son of Liu Ermei's uncle. So the youngest son went to Liu Ermei's grandmother to complain that Liu Ermei's two younger sisters were eating candy secretly.
When the old lady heard this, she became furious and rushed into the yard to beat Liu Ermei's younger sister. In order to protect her two younger sisters from being beaten, Liu Ermei revealed that she had given the candy to her two younger sisters.
Liu Ermei's grandmother asked her where the candy came from, but she was afraid that her grandmother would come to trouble her so she refused to tell her, and was slapped a few times by her grandmother.
Logically speaking, the old lady shouldn't beat her granddaughter like that just for a few candies. When she had any questions, she just asked directly.
When Liu Ermei heard Lu Xiaoxiao's question, she smiled bitterly, and then began to speak slowly.
More than half an hour later, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Ermei and didn't know whether she should sympathize with her or feel disappointed with her.
