Li Dan raised his head and looked at the stars in the night sky, and told himself in his heart not to cry. What was there to cry about? If others don’t care about you, then they don’t care about you, and you shouldn’t care about others either.
From now on, you will have friends and family, and Tiedan and his friends will be your family.
Although he warned himself again and again, he couldn't stop his tears from flowing. The cold wind was blowing, and he curled up in the haystack.
From time to time, laughter and his mother Qian Maizi's extremely flattering voice could be heard from the courtyard separated by a wall.
His head hurt so much that he fell asleep in a daze. Perhaps his desire to survive was too strong, and he woke up in a daze in the middle of the night.
Winter nights were extremely cold, and families who feared cold would keep their kangs heated all night. It was a miracle that a child like him did not freeze to death. Li Dan shivered as he struggled to climb up the haystack.
He felt like he was dying. He was so scared that his heart was beating fast.
Death... He thought of his father and his grandmother.
Is he going to die too?
But he didn't want to die at all. Tiedan was so kind to him.
Not only did she help me with the work, she also taught me how to write, and so did Baoya.
He had bullied Baoya before and snatched her food. He didn't want to do that, but he was too hungry. However, the little girl not only did not bear a grudge, but also saved all the food for him.
Hu Zi always talked to him while helping him with work and stuffing food into his mouth.
And Shi Tou is the most annoying. What he says is always so infuriating. Yesterday he said that he was as dark as a blind bear, and he hasn't figured out how to respond yet!
No, he doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to die!
He has to live, he must live!!!
He climbed hard, climbed hard,
The haystack was damp inside because of the rain, but it was also quite hot.
The next day, Xie Sanwan and Qian Maizi did not notice that Li Dan had not returned. Even if they noticed, they thought that he had gone out to play early in the morning. They did not pay attention to Li Dan's condition yesterday, or whether he could not get up.
He woke up again in the evening. His mind was clear for a moment. He struggled to get up and headed towards Su Li's house.
I stumbled along the way, confused and didn't meet anyone along the way.
The cold wind was biting, and he could not feel the snowflakes falling on him. He was exhausted when he almost reached the door. He struggled to crawl to the door, and he no longer had the strength to call for help or knock on the door.
After falling down again, I fell asleep without any time to think.
This sleep made me completely unconscious.
That was all he could remember...
The three of them fell silent after hearing this. Li Waishan could never have imagined that it would be like this. Moreover, Xie Sanwan shamelessly tried to blackmail Xie Zhengchuan yesterday. How could he have the nerve to do that? How could he have the nerve to do that!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He raised his hand and punched the wall.
With a "bang" sound, Li Dan was frightened.
Su Li quickly stood up and patted him.
Li Waishan: "Child, I scared you, don't be afraid, I will definitely seek justice for you."
Although Su Li was patting Li Dan gently, the anger in her heart was about to burn her whole body.
How could they bear to do that to such a naive child?
If she came back later today, he looked at Li Dan, this child might...
Thinking that the cause of Li Dan's injury was just an apple and a few candies,
"Li Dan, my aunt has candy and apples at home. If you lose what you have, it's gone. Those things are not as important as you. If you do something wrong, no matter how many things you have, you can't get them back. Do you understand?"
Li Dan said quickly, "It's important, Auntie. That's what Baoya left for me. Tiedan and the others had food, but they didn't eat it themselves and left it for me. You are all too mean to me."
Su Li felt a little anxious. Look, so many little kids.
Li Waishan glanced at Su Li and said to Li Dan, "Kid, tell me what you want. I will definitely teach Xie Sanwan and your mother a lesson."
Xie Zhengchuan didn't say anything. He will be the chief of the police station next year. Now that a child abuse incident has occurred under his nose, he can't just ignore it. "Village chief, there is something I didn't tell you before. I thought we are all in the same village, and I was afraid that someone would say I was being high-profile. Now I will tell you! I will be the chief of the county police station next year. Although the Li Dan incident did not occur during my tenure, I can't just ignore it. Xie Sanwan and Qian Maizi's behavior has violated the law. I will notify the police station to arrest them."
Li Waishan was surprised for a moment, but didn't say much. Xie Zhengchuan was a capable man, and even if he retired from the army, it was impossible for him to farm and work like them.
Xie Sanwan should be made to suffer for his behavior.
Li Dan heard this and said, "Uncle Zhengchuan, I don't want to go back to that home anymore. I don't want them to go to jail. I want to live on my own. Just let them let me live on my own."
"Silly child, how are you going to live? No one lives in your Li family's house now. It has fallen into disrepair after so many years. How can anyone live there now? You have no money and no money, and you are so young. How are you going to live in the future?"
Li Dan insisted: "If I can't survive, I won't go back."
"You...Ah!"
Xie Zhengchuan said, "If you want to live on your own, that's not impossible, as long as you have a guardian you recognize."
Li Dan's eyes moved but he said nothing. Of course he wanted Su Li to be his guardian, but his aunt was already very kind to him and he couldn't do anything to burden her.
Su Li glanced at Xie Zhengchuan, and the two looked at each other. Xie Zhengchuan nodded, and Su Li said, "Uncle Waishan, Li Dan is a child of the Li family. He should be compensated for the suffering he endured in Xie Sanwan's home! And Xie Zhengchuan said he wanted to arrest him, so he must be arrested, otherwise he will not learn his lesson. As for Li Dan's guardian, I am willing to be one."
Li Dan opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Auntie~"
Su Li patted his hands, "Uncle Waishan, you can be a witness. I don't want a penny of the compensation that Xie Sanwan will give me for the old house of Li Dan's family. You can sign a receipt. I will also cover all his future expenses. He is a child, and we can't just watch him go to a dead end!"
After hearing this, Li Dan burst into tears and hiccuped.
Li Waishan was also very surprised. He did not expect Su Li to have such a high level of awareness now. However, he agreed in his heart. After all, he knew Zhengchuan very well. He was afraid that Li Dan would have to eat coarse food with Su Li and would not be willing to go back to his biological mother Qian Maizi.
Li Waishan: "What does Zhengchuan mean?"
"I'll listen to Su Li. Li Dan is indeed a child. We don't want him to change his last name. He can call us whatever he wants. But I will definitely investigate the matter of Xie Sanwan to the end."
"What about Li Dan, are you willing?"
Li Dan looked at Su Li and then at Xie Zhengchuan. He thought they were really too kind, so kind that he didn't know how to repay them.
As he thought about it, tears started to flow again and he quickly raised his sleeves to wipe his eyes.
Then he nodded towards Li Waishan, "Master, I am willing, I am willing."
Li Waishan nodded, "Hey, Zhengchuan! Not only you will be the one to investigate this matter, I will not let him go either. I will go back to the village first. Since you all have no objection, leave this matter to me."
