The little girl stood pitifully alone in the corner of the study. She felt abandoned by her whole family, with no one caring about her or speaking up for her.
She really didn't mean it, okay? Her mother really said she wasn't afraid of snakes.
She's lying; she's clearly scared but won't admit it.
After tidying up the guest room, Zhao Xiaoyu, who had been staying there for the past two days, was still quite shaken by her own room.
Yuanbao felt sorry for his mother and promised to sleep with her for a few days.
Dad went to take the exam, and he accompanied Mom. My little sister is too naughty; I'll have to teach her a lesson tomorrow.
"Father, Mother, Grandpa, you should all go to sleep. It's getting late. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Zhao Dashu opened his mouth and asked in a very low voice, "Where's Xibao? Children shouldn't stay up late."
I'll go check on her in a bit.
Zhao Dashu wanted to say something more, but Song Shi tugged at his sleeve, "Lei Zi is steady in his work and loves Xi Bao. He will handle things accordingly."
Fine, if his wife doesn't want him to interfere, then he won't.
"Xiaoyu, go to sleep. A good night's sleep will make everything better."
That's bullshit! She'll probably be terrified of snakes like her grandma from now on.
The little girl doesn't know why, but she can attract all sorts of strange things.
She just couldn't handle the parrot at home.
"Drink the calming soup, take a nap, and you'll feel better."
The doctor prescribed the calming decoction.
After Zhao Xiaoyu fell asleep, Xiao Lei went to the study to check on his daughter.
The daughter-in-law has her son in her arms, so she shouldn't wake up.
The little girl was still standing inside. Not used to staying up late, she kept her eyes closed, her little head nodding, her body swaying, and she looked like she was about to fall over.
Xiao Lei sighed, stepped forward, and gently picked her up.
The little girl opened her eyes groggily, saw that it was her father, her mouth trembled, and tears of grievance rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed softly, "Father... Xiaoqi didn't mean it... I thought Mother would be happy to see the snake."
She didn't understand why everyone disliked snakes, which were so cute, even more so than the bad birds in her house.
Father killed them all.
"Dad, do you and Mom not like Xiaoqi anymore? Does Grandpa not like me anymore either?"
Xiao Lei sat on the chair holding his daughter, looking at her sternly, "Didn't your father tell you not to cause trouble for your mother? Did you listen to me?"
The child said aggrievedly, "I heard that, but I didn't put any worms in my mother's mouth."
Xiao Lei frowned; his daughter seemed a bit difficult to teach.
"You can't put snakes in her bed, you can't disturb her when she's sleeping, and you can't bring any living creatures into the house."
After thinking about it, I was still worried. "Dead ones won't do either. You can only use the toys we usually make for you. If you don't behave, you're not allowed in our room anymore."
Yuanbao sleeps alone, so you can sleep alone too. Or you can find a girl you like to sleep with you.
The little girl buried her face in her father's neck, crying even louder, "Xiao Qi knows she was wrong... Waaah... Qi Xi wants to play with Mommy... They're very well-behaved, they don't bite..."
I want to sleep with my parents. Father, you can't send me away, you can't abandon me.
Now that she's gone, her parents will all be her older brother's responsibility. Will they forget about her in the future?
She had seen beggars in the city; her grandfather said they were all pitiful creatures without parents. They had no food to eat, no decent clothes to wear, and their houses leaked when it rained.
She didn't want to be a pitiful creature; she would starve to death if she didn't have meat to eat.
Xiao Lei's heart ached as his daughter cried. In the past, he would have coaxed her to surrender long ago, but not today.
My wife is right. If we don't discipline this child properly, he'll go astray. My wife is already exhausted from managing the household; we can't add another little devil to her worries.
He softened his tone and gently patted her back, "How could your father and mother abandon you? You are our precious daughter. It's just that you did something wrong and must be punished so that you will remember your lesson."
"Think about it, if a snake bit Mother tonight, and she got hurt, or even became ill from the fright, wouldn't you feel sad?"
The little girl nodded, sobbing, remembering her mother's screams and pale face, "It will be sad... Xiao Qi will be so sad she'll die..."
"So loving someone doesn't mean forcing your own preferences on them, but rather thinking about what's best for them."
Although Mom isn't afraid of snakes, she doesn't like having a snake crawling on her while she sleeps, right?
"Hmm... Mother was scared, she turned pale with fright..." The little girl's voice became even softer as she recalled her mother's appearance.
