Grade 3, Class 1, Teacher’s Office.
"Teacher, my schoolbag is missing and I can't find it anywhere. We even looked for it in the toilet, but we still can't find it. What should I do? Teacher, I'm going to get beaten when I get home."
A little fat boy with snot and tears said to a female teacher.
"Why is it you again, Yuan Yuan? How many times has this happened to you? Why is it always you who loses things? Today you lost your schoolbag, yesterday you lost your Chinese textbook, and the day before yesterday you lost your homework. What's going on with you?"
"Teacher, I don't know either." The little fat boy was also confused.
"Then think about it, have you done anything bad today?"
"I, I, I pulled my deskmate Lu Xiaoyan's braids out of place, and I also threw her schoolbag outside the classroom door, with the books scattered all over the floor."
"You forgot, as long as you do something bad, you will lose things, and you still don't learn your lesson." The female teacher looked at the little fat boy with disappointment.
The little fat boy looked aggrieved and said to the teacher, "Teacher, I will remember this. Please help me find my schoolbag, otherwise my dad will beat me when I get home. Woo woo woo."
"Okay, let's go look for it. You, really."
Several people went to look for it separately. Based on past experience, the thing must be in the school half an hour later.
"Teacher, here, here, I found Yuan Yuan's schoolbag."
Everyone came to a big elm tree in the yard and looked up. Oh my god, the schoolbag was hanging on the top of the tree. It was so high that no one could reach it.
"Quickly find Zhou Honghui. He knows Kung Fu. He can jump up from this height in one go."
"He left, and his sister had a stomachache so she took him home first."
"Quickly find a bamboo pole and knock it down."
After a lot of trouble, the schoolbag finally landed.
The instigator of this incident, Zhou Hongnuan, was walking home with his brother.
"Sister, you hid Pangdun's schoolbag again? You." Zhou Honghui looked at Zhou Hongnuan helplessly.
"It's the fat boy's fault for always bullying Lu Xiaoyan. I've told him many times but he just won't listen. Humph, I'm going to deal with him in the name of justice." After saying this, he waved his fist.
"Woo woo woo, I'm hungry, mom, mom, where are you, mom, I'm hungry."
The brother and sister were talking about the schoolbag when they heard a child lying against the wall at the entrance of an alley they were passing.
Zhou Hongnuan hurried over to see what was going on.
Zhou Honghui had no choice but to follow. His sister was always so kind and helped passers-by, often giving food and clothes to the elderly and children they met on the road.
"Little sister, little sister, what's wrong with you? Come, sister will help you sit up."
Zhou Honghui ran over to see a little girl. Her hair was yellow and frizzy, scattered on her head, and her arms and legs were covered with scars. She was so thin that only skin and bones were left.
Poor child.
"Sister, I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat? I haven't eaten in two days. When I'm hungry, I drink water. I couldn't stand it just now and ate my brother's eggs. Then my stepmother beat me and kicked me out."
After saying these words in a halting manner, the little girl was already sweating profusely.
"Little sister, please stop talking. I'll give you a bag of milk to drink first, and then you can eat some bread."
The little girl took the milk and bread and wolfed them down. She ate so fast that her neck stretched out.
Zhou Hongnuan quickly patted her back to calm her down.
Through chatting, Zhou Honghui and his sister learned about the little girl's past.
The little girl is called Xu Lifan, she is 8 years old this year. When she was 5, her mother died of illness, so her father married a stepmother. At first, things were fine; she had enough food and warm clothes.
Later, her stepmother gave birth to a younger brother, and her life never went well again.
They were not well fed, not well clothed, and often beaten.
Even her 5-year-old brother often beat her.
Zhou Hongnuan was furious when he heard this. "Punishment, must punish! Otherwise there will be no justice in this world."
"Xu Lifan, don't be afraid. If your stepmother hits you, just cry out loudly and run out of the yard, shouting as you run. Then go to the Women's Federation and report her. Got it?"
Xu Lifan nodded, her eyes sparkling. "Okay, I see. Thank you."
"Xu Lifan, come here at this time every day and I'll bring you food."
"Also, ask your father to take you to school. If he doesn't, go to the neighborhood office and complain."
Xu Lifan nodded firmly and replied, "Okay, I understand. Thank you."
A week later, Zhou Honghui and his sister saw Xu Lifan in the first grade at the same school.
Xu Lifan's clothes were old but clean. Seeing them, she said happily, "Thank you for helping me. Let me tell you, my stepmother has been very quiet these days. She doesn't talk much anymore, doesn't scold me, doesn't hit me anymore, and even gives me the same food they eat. My brother doesn't hit me anymore either. It's so strange."
Zhou Honghui said, "There's nothing strange about that. Your stepmother will be afraid of you if you become strong. So you have to fight for your own life and make your own decisions! Study hard and get into a good university. Your future will be better."
Xu Lifan bowed to thank them.
Turning around, Zhou Honghui looked at Zhou Hongnuan and asked, "Tell me, what did you do?"
"Hahaha, brother, don't be so serious."
She hugged Zhou Honghui's arm and shook it, acting coquettishly.
"You, what if others find out? Sister, you must keep your secret. People's hearts are unpredictable."
"Yes, brother. I will be obedient and protect myself. Hehe."
"Tell your brother quickly what you did to make Xu Lifan's stepmother change her attitude towards her."
"I gave Xu Lifan's stepmother a suggestive nightmare. She will suffer double the evil she did to Xu Lifan in hell. The nightmare must have been terrifying, and it scared her."
"Is this still possible? How long will this nightmare last?"
"Don't worry, she won't dare do anything bad in her life, otherwise she will have nightmares."
"Hahaha, okay."
The brother and sister returned home while talking.
