"Here, take it and share it among you." She handed all the potato chips wrapped in oil paper to the little girl who had just looked up at her slightly.
"Thank you." The voice was as low as a mosquito's buzzing. If Shen Qingli didn't have good hearing, he really wouldn't have been able to hear it.
"You're welcome. Go ahead."
The other two little girls seemed to be relieved and ran away. Before Shen Qingli could stop smiling, she saw the little boy staring at her fiercely. When he saw Shen Qingli looking over, he turned his eyes and fixed his gaze on the potato chips held by his sister.
"Give me the money-losing stuff!"
Hearing the words he cursed at his sister, Shen Qingli opened her eyes wide in shock.
...This...is this the kind of thing a four or five-year-old kid can say?
She was about to say something, but what happened next made her frown and shut her mouth.
"All for you." Then the little girl offered the potato chips with both hands. The little boy reached out and grabbed the potato chips, looked at Shen Qingli proudly, and ran back to the house. The three little girls stared at the potato chips with greedy eyes, unwilling to move away, but no one chased after him. Shen Qingli may have understood something at this time. Four big words emerged in her mind:
Preferring sons over daughters.
It must be that the adults in the family have always favored boys over girls, which is why they didn't even know to take back their things when they were stolen. They could have shared the food among the four of them, but he gave it all to himself.
Then... the little girl's eyes returned to Shen Qingli again, and the desire in her eyes could not be hidden.
"I don't have any more. I gave you the things, so you should protect them. If you give them to others, there's no reason for you to ask me for them again."
She wanted to tell them that they should protect their own things.
"Mom and grandma said that we girls are money-losing goods. My younger brother will be our support in the future, so the good things should be given to him."
The bolder girl said to Shen Qingli.
What kind of shitty thinking! ?
Shen Qingli didn't expect to feel the preference for boys over girls so directly for the first time.
She turned and went into the yard, not wanting to talk. She knew that it was useless to say anything. It was impossible for her to change other people's deeply rooted ideas with just a few words, especially for children aged seven or eight, five or six, who would not understand what she said.
She is not someone who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, let alone other people's family affairs.
Respect the fate of others. Everyone has his own destiny. No matter how much others say, it will be useless if you don’t stand up for yourself.
She felt that she shouldn't have been so compassionate and that this incident had made her so angry and upset.
"What's wrong? You're pouting so hard you could hang a bottle of oil on it. Did Meng Xiao make you mad? Where is he? I'm going to poke him with a knitting needle!"
Ye Qiu walked towards them, knitting a sweater.
"It's okay. Mom, is the family next door quite patriarchal?" Shen Qingli couldn't help but ask.
"Did you run into those kids? Or did you run into the adults next door?"
As soon as Ye Qiu heard it, he knew it was related to the neighbors.
"Those kids, I saw the little girl was wearing thin and worn clothes in the middle of winter, and felt a little sorry for them, so I gave them the snacks in my hand. Then."
"And then they gave the things to my brother? They even wanted to ask you for them, and said that you are a girl and shouldn't eat good things?" Ye Qiu continued her words.
The corners of Shen Qingli's mouth twitched: "Mom, you really understand, have you given it too?"
Ye Qiu knitted without stopping: "Stay away from them from now on. They've always been like this. People pity them and give them some food, but they just give it back and then act pitiful and ask for more. Do you believe that if you give them something today, they'll hang around our door for the next three days?
In fact, we can't blame them. We can only say that they have been instilled with the idea of favoring boys over girls since childhood. To put it bluntly, they all think that the shit pooped by their younger brother Yaozu smells good.
I have never seen anything like this next door. Their three daughters have to ask for food all day long to take back for their son. It's really speechless. Everyone feels sorry for them and gives them something to eat from time to time.
I did the same, but one time I gave them three buns and told them to eat them before leaving. Unexpectedly, they stole two of them when they left. Since then, I have never given them anything again."
Ye Qiu thought of something after he finished speaking, and then continued:
"Stay away from their children in the future, especially their son Yaozu. He has been a bad boy since he was young. He will stare at you viciously if he doesn't like you, and beat you up if he's not happy. He once beat another child so hard that blood was drawn.
He often beats his own family members, and I feel like he's abnormal. I often hear him cursing and smashing things at home. He once kicked your father's military vehicle, and your father scolded him. I still remember his sinister look.
She pouted and whispered.
Shen Qingli frowned as she listened to her grandmother's words, recalling the little boy. The more she thought about it, the more alarmed she became. She hadn't noticed at the time, but his face, combined with what her grandmother had said, resembled the "super male syndrome" she had seen online.
It is said that all super heroes have strong antisocial personalities, but she was not sure. She lowered her head and immersed her consciousness in the space to start looking up information.
"Okay, I understand. I'll pay more attention next time."
"What are you paying attention to?" Meng Xiao walked over and put his hand on her shoulder.
"I asked Qingli to keep an eye on Yaozu next door. That kid isn't normal." As Ye Qiu spoke, he had already started to untie the small hat in his hand.
"That child's eyes and appearance are indeed different from those of ordinary children." Meng Xiao had seen him twice and had some impression of him.
"Chao Xiong'er! He might be Chao Xiong's child." Shen Qingli was a little shocked. She didn't expect that there was such a child next door to the Meng family.
