Meng Yiming held the bowl of rice with mixed feelings, and even felt sorry for Erni.
Having no clothes to wear and no food to eat, and not even daring to cry when being beaten, is this a human life?
Erni's brother was full. After putting down the bowl, he took out some candy from his pocket.
Meng Yiming saw that the candy was the one he had just given to Erni.
Looking at Erni again, she was so envious when she saw her brother eating candy.
"Eat quickly!" Erni's grandmother picked up a piece of stir-fried cabbage and meat for Meng Yiming with chopsticks.
Meng Yiming looked at the bowl of rice and couldn't bear to eat it.
Eat one bowl less and you will have one less bowl.
He put the bowl down and said, "I've eaten at home. I'm going home."
Meng Yiming's grandmother hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't be anxious. Sit down for a moment. Grandma has something to tell you."
It was so hard to get a chance to meet someone from the Meng family, and Erni's grandmother went straight to the point.
"Yiming, I heard that you will graduate from junior high school soon and can start working. Look, my daughter Dani is twelve years old this year and will be able to get married in two or three years..."
"Shut up!" Meng Yiming was furious and interrupted her, "I don't have such an idea!"
He stood up angrily and left. Erni's parents quickly stood up to see him off, and Erni's grandmother also followed him out.
"If you don't like Da Ni, Er Ni is fine too. Although she's still a little younger, there's nothing to be afraid of. Let's settle this matter first..."
Meng Yiming quickened his pace, almost fleeing from Erni's house.
It was already very late when he got home, and his family was still waiting for him to have the New Year's Eve dinner.
His father thought he had run out to play and gave him another beating.
"I thought I didn't want to beat you up during the New Year, but you've been so unreasonable. The whole family has been waiting for us, and the food has gone cold!"
Meng Yiming didn't dare tell anyone that he went to Erni's house, otherwise it would expose the fact that Erni ate his meals every day.
