"Zhaonan, Zhaonan, could it be that those people are here?" Niu Niu poked Li Zhaonan beside her and asked guiltily.
Li Zhaonan smacked his lips in disbelief. "No way, no one would find them in such a remote place. They might have been eaten by wolves by now."
After saying that, she wiped the saliva off her face and Niu Niu took a half step away in disgust.
"Zhaonan, I think this dress looks better on you. Do you want to try it?" Niu Niu took off the clothes directly and changed back into her previous tattered clothes.
Li Zhaonan was a little excited because she had never worn pure cotton clothes in her life.
The clothes he wore every time were made of coarse cloth, which he picked up from other people.
The rough cloth pricked the flesh, making people want to scratch it all the time. That's how the blood scabs on her body came about.
But you have to wear it.
She was already a grown-up girl of eight or nine years old, and she couldn't walk around naked like those three or four-year-old kids.
"Niuniu, you are so nice. I will really wear it then."
Li Zhaonan couldn't wait to put on Si Ya's clothes.
Although Si Ya is only three years old, she is well-nourished and looks like she is four or five years old. Her clothes are also larger than those of her peers.
Her clothes made the skinny Li Zhaonan look like he was wearing a tight short top.
"This cotton dress is very comfortable, but it's too small. It makes me breathless."
"Try it on a little longer, it'll become more comfortable once it stretches out."
Seeing those people getting closer and closer, she said that she would not let Li Zhaonan take off his clothes no matter what.
…
"Si Ya, go and see which kid kidnapped you. Your uncle will seek justice for you."
Si Ya was held in Su Che's arms, her eyes sparkling like obsidian scanning the crowd.
Niu Niu lowered her head when she saw this, while Li Zhaonan was still feeling smug about wearing cotton clothes.
"Uncle, it's her."
Si Ya saw Zhao Nan wearing her vest at a glance.
The vest, which was originally as white as snow, was now covered with pitch-black handprints.
Li Zhaonan was dragged out by Su Che without any warning.
Seeing the villagers holding their weapons, Li Zhaonan realized what was happening and started yelling. "What are you doing? Are you trying to steal my child? Grandma, come and save me! Someone's trying to sell me off!"
An old woman with a pointed nose, small eyes, and hands like withered vines suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Who, who wants to sell my granddaughter?"
That was her biggest source of income in the future. She was reluctant to abandon it even after all the hardships of fleeing famine, so how could she allow anyone to touch it?
"Your granddaughter is really capable. Not only did she pick up my child and bring her food, she also tied her up and threw her on the mountain, stripping her clothes. Do you think people are stupid because they don't get angry?"
Old Mrs. Li looked at her granddaughter who lowered her head out of guilt, and understood.
When she saw the clothes on Li Zhaonan, her eyes flashed with light, and her first reaction was to go forward and touch the clothes Li Zhaonan was wearing.
Oh my goodness, this fabric is so comfortable, it's perfect for her soon-to-be-born grandson.
No, we can’t let these people take it back later.
"Don't talk nonsense here without any real reason. It's obvious that your child is too cunning and is crying thief."
Old Mrs. Li felt a little unhappy when she looked at the fair-skinned Si Ya. She didn't know what she ate to stay so well. She was just a little girl. What was so precious about her?
"How old is your child? How old is my child? Besides...what is there in your family that is worth us scheming against?" Su Che chuckled sarcastically.
Old Lady Li felt a chill down her spine and stammered for a long time, "I...I don't know, I've been here taking care of my daughter-in-law all day, how could I have the time to mess with a little brat?
Come, boy, I'll wash your clothes for you. Look at what you've done today. You've made your nice clothes dirty. Yes, my child is right here. You can beat or scold him as you like."
Old Mrs. Li pushed Li Zhaonan out and walked back happily with the clothes she had obtained.
Suddenly, a look of discomfort flashed across the naked Li Zhaonan's face, and she felt that all eyes around her were focused on her.
"Wait, the clothes you are holding are my child's."
Old Mrs. Li quickly stuffed the clothes into her chest and said, "My granddaughter said that this dress is something your child didn't want. If I picked it up, it will become mine. If you have the guts, take it back."
Old Mrs. Li leaned her upper body outward, causing Su Che to step back repeatedly.
Su Qingcai didn't tolerate these people, so he took a long thin stick and started beating them.
Li Zhaonan was hit several times without warning and then started running around.
"I didn't do it alone. There was also Niuniu, Taohua, and Sanyazi. What's your ability to beat me alone?"
In desperation, she confessed all her accomplices.
When Niu Niu heard her name, she unconsciously shrank back a few times and was seen by the sharp-eyed Old Lady Li.
"Yes, Niuniu is her. I was wondering why my granddaughter would harm others for no reason. It seems that she was picked up by a little bitch like you who has no parents.
Our villagers were so kind as to let you escape the famine with them, and this is how you repay us?"
As soon as Mrs. Li finished speaking, people from the other two families also started to blame Niu Niu.
The look in Niu Niu's eyes when she looked at these people was as if it was filled with poison, as if she wanted to eat them alive.
"I don't care who the mastermind is. I just want these kids to come forward and apologize to my daughter and her friends."
Seeing that Su Qing was determined not to give up, those people reluctantly pushed the child out.
