Shen Yicheng reminded him.
Lu Huaijiao frowned slightly.
Looking closely at Shen Yicheng, she wondered if she had ever known someone like him when she was in kindergarten.
She looked at it again and again, and came to a conclusion: it seemed there wasn't one.
Well, for Lu Huaijiao, people who weren't important didn't really matter to her. Especially people she'd met in kindergarten—she couldn't remember them at all.
"Actually, we went to the same elementary and middle schools."
Shen Yicheng spoke.
Lu Huaijiao nodded.
"Then you're practically invisible. We've been in the same school for so many years, and I've never seen you or heard of you."
Shen Yicheng: ...
Although it is true, Lu Huaijiao's directness is very hurtful.
"Comrade Lu Huaijiao..."
"Is there anything else?"
As she was about to leave, she glanced back at Shen Yicheng, wondering if he still had something to say.
Shen Yicheng looked at her, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.
"It's alright now."
"Oh, okay."
After saying that, Lu Huaijiao pushed open the door to the room where Daya and Erya lived and went inside.
Her arrival was perfectly timed; Da Ya and Er Ya had just woken up.
After they applied medicine, the pain subsided. When they opened their eyes and saw that it was getting late, Daya struggled to sit up, wanting to go home and cook.
"Da Ya, what are you doing?"
Lu Huaijiao quickly spoke up.
It was only then that the two sisters realized there was someone else in the room—their aunt.
"Auntie."
The two usually strong girls' eyes welled up with tears again when they saw Lu Huaijiao. They sniffled and tilted their heads back, trying hard not to let their tears fall.
It's heartbreaking to see this.
Lu Huaijiao placed the basket on the table to the side and reached out to pat their heads.
"It's alright. Your dad got a beating from Grandpa. He was beaten even worse than you two!" He said this just to comfort the little girls and let them know that someone was there to stand up for them.
However, the two sisters were clearly terrified of their mother's beatings, and they were still startled when they heard Lu Huaijiao's words.
"No...no...how can that be? Mother...she'll be angry."
Da Ya said she still wanted to leave.
Although Er Ya was also in pain, she still insisted on following her sister.
Seeing that Daya was about to leave, she naturally wanted to leave as well.
Lu Huaijiao definitely won't let them leave.
"You two are injured now, so stay at the clinic and don't go anywhere."
"But……"
They were worried that if they didn't go back, Liu Chun would be even angrier.
At the same time, I'm worried that if I don't go back now, I'll never be able to go back again.
Then they would become homeless children.
"Don't be afraid, that won't happen. Your grandparents and your uncle are here. They will protect you and won't leave you homeless."
Seeing that the two sisters were still afraid, she continued, "If you go back now, you'll be beaten to death. Do you want to be beaten to death by your mother?"
Da Ya and Er Ya shrank back, neither daring to speak.
They definitely didn't want to be beaten to death.
They were just afraid of not having a home, because that would be no different from being dead.
"You two can stay here peacefully until your uncle comes back and he handles this matter before you go back. I promise your mother won't beat you anymore then, okay?"
Lu Huaijiao rarely showed such patience towards people.
It was also because these two children looked so pitiful.
The children are about ten years old, so thin they're just skin and bones. The older sister probably weighs around 40 pounds, while the younger sister is even thinner, I don't know if she weighs around 30 pounds.
They were so thin that their eyes looked exceptionally large.
It's hard not to be moved when they look at you with those eyes.
Lu Huaijiao's words made them waver.
If they could have a slightly better life at home, they would definitely be willing. No one is born wanting to be beaten, not even Da Ya and Er Ya.
After calming them down, Lu Huaijiao took out lunchboxes and offered them food.
One lunchbox contains rice, and the other lunchbox contains vegetables.
When the lid of the lunchbox was opened and they saw the stewed pork with peanuts and a box full of white rice, the two sisters choked up again.
Lu Huaijiao sighed.
"Eat up, then go to sleep. Don't go anywhere tonight, understand?"
She stood up as she spoke, saying, "I need to go back for dinner too. I'll come back to pick up my lunchbox tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
"thank you."
The two sisters are still very polite.
If they had been born into a slightly better family, and their parents had raised them well and weren't so sexist, Lu Huaijiao felt that the two of them would definitely have been successful in the future.
But if it falls into the hands of Liu Chun and Gu Changshan, it's hard to say what the future holds.
Lu Huaijiao came out of the room.
Shen Yicheng had already prepared dinner. Seeing that it was getting late, he couldn't help but remind Lu Huaijiao to be careful on the road.
Lu Huaijiao thanked them and went home after leaving the health station.
It was getting dark, and the streets were deserted.
Lu Huaijiao had no choice but to quicken her pace.
Although with Gu Changzheng around, the village hooligans wouldn't dare to mess with her, Lu Huaijiao would never gamble with her own safety.
Try your best to avoid putting yourself in danger.
