The next day, Li Xiyue and her mother got up early. She dressed her mother in clean and pretty new clothes and took her to the cooperative for breakfast.
The neighbors in the courtyard watched as Cheng Xiaohui's illness improved at a visible speed, and everyone praised her for being lucky.
I never imagined that in my old age I would have a cousin who is even better than my own daughter.
Li Xiyue found a seat for her mother first and let her sit and wait for her while she queued up to buy tofu pudding and candy.
She brought a small basket from home to hold the candies.
In those days, there were no plastic bags; everyone brought their own small basket or aluminum basin when buying fruit.
Although the lack of electricity affected Li Xiyue's superhuman eyesight and superhuman hearing, her hearing was still many times better than that of ordinary people.
She suddenly heard Li Yan's voice.
"Dad, I want to eat candy candies! They're fragrant, sweet, and crumbly, and they look delicious!"
Li Xiyue turned her head and saw Li Wenbo riding his bicycle, bringing Li Yan to have breakfast.
The system's voice echoed in the space, "Oh no, Li Wenbo and Li Yan are here. Li Wenbo knows Cheng Xiaohui! Why don't you take Cheng Xiaohui and leave quickly?"
Li Xiyue said, "Why should we leave?"
Most importantly, she didn't see Li Yin; only Li Yin knew her.
The chef who made the fried dough sticks put the candies into Li Xiyue's small basket.
Li Xiyue carried the candy to her mother's side and sat down. She tore the candy open, took a piece of candy from a piece of yellow paper, and handed it to her mother. "Mom, have some candy!"
Cheng Xiaohui took the candy and took a bite; her mouth and heart were filled with sweetness.
She smiled and said, "You should eat too, these candies taste better when they're warm!"
Li Xiyue said, "Okay, I'll eat too."
The mother and daughter ate sweets and drank tofu pudding together.
Li Wenbo walked into the breakfast section and immediately saw Cheng Xiaohui, as well as that girl he had only met once before.
His gaze fell on the girl's face again; in his memory, this girl looked exactly like Cheng Xiaohui when she was young.
When they met again, the girl resembled Cheng Xiaohui to an extent that exceeded his memory.
Standing beside her father, Li Yan urged, "Dad, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and buy some candy and wontons!"
His daughter's voice brought Li Wenbo back to his senses, and he stammered, "Oh, okay, I'll buy it right away."
He paid for the bamboo token at the counter, then asked Li Yan to find a seat while he went to queue for candy.
Li Yan found an empty seat and sat down, giving Cheng Xiaohui a sharp glare.
It's a pity her mother wasn't with her today, otherwise she could have given that shameless woman another dressing down!
Although she is young, she has one advantage: she is always very clear about her own abilities, no matter what.
Who is the girl sitting next to Cheng Xiaohui? Regardless of who that girl is, it's clear that she and Cheng Xiaohui have a very good relationship.
Now that she's all alone, she naturally can't fight against two adults!
However, her piercing gaze still caught Cheng Xiaohui's attention.
Cheng Xiaohui lowered her voice and said to Li Xiyue, "Whose child is that? How can someone so young have such a vicious look in their eyes, staring at us like that?"
Li Xiyue said, "Don't let his young age fool you, he's obviously not a good catch!"
She glared back at Li Yan and questioned, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever eaten this before, or never seen it before?"
"Doesn't your mom have money to buy you food? Be careful, she might see this and get hooked!"
Li Yan was surprised that Li Xiyue dared to curse her, and cursed her so rudely, as if she couldn't afford to eat breakfast!
Her face twitched slightly as she said, "Who doesn't have money for breakfast? My dad's buying me breakfast right now!"
Li Xiyue sneered and said, "Is that so? Then why were you just watching our breakfast?"
Are you that hungry? Why don't you beg me, and I'll throw you a piece!
Li Yan's face trembled with anger. Throw a piece? Is Li Xiyue feeding it to a dog?!
She said, "Keep it for yourself! Haha! Why sit with her of all people? Aren't you afraid of getting dirty?"
Li Xiyue slammed her hand on the table, stood up, walked over, pointed at Li Yan's nose, and asked, "Who are you calling filthy? Watch your mouth!"
Li Yan retorted, "Who doesn't know that the woman next to you is a dirty woman, a piece of trash! Hah, you do shameless things and you're afraid of what others will say?!"
Cheng Xiaohui originally chased after Li Xiyue to stop her, but unexpectedly Li Yan called her a piece of junk...
She froze on the spot, feeling everyone around her staring at her.
The shame came crashing down on her like buckets of dirty water being poured over her, water that she could never wash away!
Li Xiyue raised her hand and slapped Li Yan hard across the face!
A loud 'smack!' echoed throughout the breakfast section!
Everyone was shocked; they never expected Li Xiyue to actually hit someone!
Li Yan covered her slapped cheek with her hand, staring wide-eyed at Li Xiyue in disbelief, large tears streaming down her face.
It took her several seconds to realize that someone really dared to hit her!
From childhood to adulthood, her parents never laid a finger on her!
The next moment, she burst into tears, "Dad! That bad woman hit me! Dad, that bad woman hit me!"
The large pot for frying the dough sticks was placed at the entrance of the shop, and there were so many people queuing that the line stretched all the way outside the breakfast stall.
Li Wenbo had no idea what had happened at the breakfast shop until he heard his daughter crying, at which point he rushed in.
When Cheng Xiaohui saw Li Wenbo run in, she immediately realized who the girl in front of her was...
This must be the daughter from Li Wenbo's second marriage, as rumored...
Her legs buckled, and she staggered back a step!
Li Xiyue grabbed her mother's hand and said, "You haven't done anything to wrong Dad, so there's nothing to be ashamed of! If anyone dares to insult you, we'll fight them back!"
Li Wenbo pushed through the crowd and walked in. He looked at Cheng Xiaohui and the girl standing opposite Li Yan with surprise.
He hurriedly checked the injuries on Li Yan's face.
Li Yan pointed at Li Xiyue and said, "Dad, she hit me! These two bad women hit me!"
Li Xiyue said, "You're missing a father and mother, and no one is there to teach you! I'll educate you in place of your parents! You're welcome!"
Cheng Xiaohui wanted to explain something, but when she opened her mouth, a thousand words stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single one.
She hasn't seen Li Wenbo since she was sentenced...
Li Wenbo avoided Cheng Xiaohui's gaze and looked directly at Li Xiyue, demanding, "Why did you hit someone?!"
Li Xiyue said, "She's swearing! Since she has no parents to educate her, I'll teach your ill-mannered daughter a lesson!"
Li Yan jumped up from her chair, pointed at Cheng Xiaohui, and shouted, "Who swore? I didn't swore! I'm just stating the facts. She's a slut, a bad woman, a piece of trash!"
Li Wenbo slapped Li Yan's arm away and scolded, "Shut up!!"
Li Wenbo's voice was very loud, which startled Li Yan...
