People of this era generally do not understand the law, but they are very afraid when the law and the government are mentioned.

The scumbag mother's face turned pale in an instant, but she still tried to remain strong.

"My girl just feels uncomfortable and needs two days off. What's wrong with that? I didn't stop her from going to school. She even went to school yesterday!"

At this point, Xiao Yun had completely seen through what kind of family Shi Li lived in. She did not argue with the bad mother, but said gently: "Well, since Shi Li is fine now, she should be able to go to school as usual tomorrow. If she still doesn't come to school tomorrow, I will talk to the principal and the village chief about this situation."

The scumbag mother looked at the ground guiltily and stopped talking.

Xiao Yun ignored her, looked at Shi Li who was standing quietly, and reached out to touch her head tenderly.

"Come to school early tomorrow. I'll wait for you in the classroom."

Shi Li didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

Xiao Yun then turned and left, and Shi Li followed her and sent her out of the house.

After crossing the threshold, Xiao Yun stopped and looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping herself. In the end, she just smiled and said, "See you tomorrow. Teacher is leaving first."

"Goodbye, teacher." Shi Li was still well-behaved. She watched her walk out of her sight before closing the door again and continued to wash diapers in the yard.

She didn't dare to enter the house at this time, otherwise her mother would definitely vent her anger on her.

After quickly washing and wrung out all the diapers, Shi Li carried the basin into the house and prepared to hang the diapers one by one on the clothesline specially set up in the house.

The weather is still very cold now, so the washed items can only be hung indoors. If they are hung outside, they will freeze and will not dry.

The bad mother hugged her Yaozu, looked up at Shi Li, and wanted to find some fault in her to beat and scold her.

Shi Li saw what she was thinking and said quickly, "Mom! I'll go chop wood after I finish hanging up my brother's diapers. I'll go to the river after school tomorrow and catch two small fish to make fish soup for you."

The scumbag mother's anger subsided a little, and she just snorted and stopped talking.

But Shi Li secretly regretted it in her heart. She spoke too quickly and only wanted to say something to please him. Now she realized it was too late.

Although she didn't really believe that there were water ghosts in the river, she thought that she should stay away from them.

Once words are spoken, they are like water poured out. It is impossible to take them back now.

Forget it, just take it one step at a time.

Shi Li experienced another day of working until very late. Then she got up sleepily the next day, did all the work she could do, and then rushed out to school in a hurry.

She didn't meet anyone else on the way here; she left home too late.

Shi Li jogged all the way to school and arrived at the classroom just one second before class started.

Xiao Yun was sitting in front of the podium. When she saw her appearing outside the door breathlessly, she immediately turned around and smiled, "Come in first and attend the class."

When the get out of class was over, Xiao Yun didn't say anything else, just said that she had something to tell her and called her to the office again.

There was no one else in the office. After Shi Li followed her in, Xiao Yun closed the door with her backhand and took out a piece of rabbit candy from her pocket like a magic trick.

"You are my squad leader. This is for you. Try it and see if it tastes good." Xiao Yun was afraid that she would feel embarrassed, so she peeled off the candy wrapper for her and put it in her mouth.

Although this is just an ordinary piece of candy, the taste is indeed different when you put it in your mouth.

Even though Shi Li was not a naive twelve-year-old girl at heart, she still felt her nose turn red at this kindness.

"It's okay, just study hard and everything will be fine in the future."

Xiao Yun looked at her red eyes, held her hand and comforted her gently, "It is our fate that I know you. If you have any problems in the future, come to me. I am your teacher."

Shi Li held the candy in her mouth and nodded heavily.

She really needed Xiao Yun's help, but she couldn't rely on Xiao Yun for everything.

After finishing most of the day's school, Shi Li resigned herself to going to the river to see how to catch a fish to report back.

Xiaohua caught up with her and wanted to go with her, but was surprised when she heard that she was going to the river. Then she looked around to see that there was no one, and approached her and whispered, "But there are water ghosts by the river. We don't dare to go there now, so you shouldn't go either!"

Shi Li: ...

She really didn't want to go, but the "ghost" at home might be scarier than a water ghost.

Seeing this, Xiaohua had no choice but to part ways with her.

Shi Li walked to the river alone.

Sure enough, the riverside, which is usually very lively, is now deserted.

The weather has begun to show signs of warming, and the ice on the river surface is visibly thinner than before.

Shi Li found a sharp stone nearby and dug a hole in the ice in a few strokes. For safety reasons, she did not step on the ice, but stood on the shore, carefully observing the stream.

Ripples appeared in the water, vaguely revealing a person behind her!
