Half an hour later, the woman prepared the meal and invited Su Xi into the dining shed to eat.

The rice is ordinary white rice, and there are two stir-fried dishes, one is plain stir-fried local vegetables, and the other is stir-fried mountain mushrooms using homemade bacon.

This should be considered a very sumptuous meal in the village.

When Su Xi saw that she was the only one eating, the woman was holding the child and watching beside her, and said warmly, "Come over and eat together!"

The woman immediately shook her head.

Probably because she was afraid that Su Xi wouldn't give her money if we ate together.

"I'll treat the children, come here!" Su Xi pushed the two plates of food toward the middle.

The woman then brought the child over, filled two more bowls of corn rice, and sat down at the table to eat together.

The boy took away a piece of bacon first, stuffed it into his mouth, and kept staring at the meat on the plate.

The girl has been eating vegetables and never touched meat, but occasionally she can't help but take a look.

Su Xi gave her a piece of meat. The girl looked at her mother and gave the meat to her brother.

The woman smiled at Su Xi and said, "My sister doesn't like eating meat."

Su Xi didn't say anything, just lowered her head and ate her food.

After eating, Su Xi gave the woman two pieces of money, and the woman happily accepted them.

However, before the smile on the woman's face disappeared, her expression changed and she turned around and said, "Amei, what are you doing?"

Su Xi turned around and saw that there was a piece of meat on the plate left by several people. The girl couldn't help but pinch it and put it in her mouth while washing the dishes.

When the woman shouted, the girl shivered in fright and dropped the meat in her hand to the ground. The boy next to her also started crying in fright.

The woman became even more angry, picked up the wooden stick nearby for making fire, and hit the girl randomly.

The first stick hit the girl on the neck. The girl did not dare to cry and just hid aside.

"Let you hide, make you greedy, and see if I don't beat you to death!"

She hit the girl with the stick indiscriminately, causing the girl to scream and beg for mercy, and there were blood marks on her arms and face.

Su Xi stepped forward to stop him, "Okay, it's just a piece of meat, don't beat the child!"

The girl hid under the table in fear, her eyes widened and her whole body was trembling.

The woman stopped panting, held the crying boy in her arms and comforted her, and glared at the girl with hatred, "I'll make you greedy again."

The girl hunched her shoulders, sobbed and cried.

Su Xi took her outside to the yard, found disinfectant water from her bag, and slowly rubbed it on the area where she was beaten. "You won't be able to hide when I hit you? Run away and hide!"

The girl was still sobbing, shaking her head and saying, "Run away, and I'll beat you even harder when you come back!"

Su Xi's hand that was applying the medicine on her paused, her heart felt a little heavy, she raised her head and said with a smile, "Then work hard to grow up, work hard to learn your skills, and stay away from here."

The girl nodded in understanding.

"Sister!" The girl looked at her timidly. With trembling little hands, she took something out of her pocket and handed it to Su Xi, "This is for you!"

In the girl's hand is a red ball that looks like leather.

Su Xi reached out to get it, and almost as soon as she got it, she pushed the girl in front of her out, and then threw the ball in her hand.

"Bang!"
