A large group of educated youth went up the mountain today. Shen Lu and Xu Shiqing followed them. The foot of the mountain had already been cleaned up by the children.

Everyone had no choice but to move forward. Xu Shiqing pulled Shen Lu along the way, and as they walked, they gradually distanced themselves from the main group.

"Xiao Shen, you are here to collect firewood too."

Shen Lu, who was looking for treasure with her head down, raised her head. It was Li Xiujuan. She looked even more haggard than in the past few days, and her whole face was gray. But she still forced a smile even though she was looking at Shen Lu. Shen Lu looked at her colorless and dry lips, which seemed about to crack. She was still a pregnant woman.

Shen Lu pretended to take out a bottle of Kouzi oil and two pieces of White Rabbit from her pocket and stuffed them into her hands.

"If your mouth is cracked it will hurt. Apply this and it will feel better."

Shen Lu was a little at a loss when she saw Li Xiujuan suddenly crying. If you were unreasonable, she would be knocked down immediately, but she couldn't stand such a gentle elder sister watching you cry.

Xu Shiqing, who heard the noise, pulled the two of them to a place sheltered from the wind, took out the water cup she was carrying and put it in Li Xiujuan's hand.

"Drink some sugar water. It's good for the baby in your belly."

Li Xiujuan didn't come to ask for anything. She just saw the young educated youth who protected her last time coming over to say hello. She didn't expect that the young educated youth's words "it hurts" would directly make her burst into tears.

For how long has it been since anyone told her that she would feel pain too? Her mother-in-law scolds her every day, saying all kinds of nasty things, but her husband always just endures it.

She thought she was taking life lightly and living one day at a time, but suddenly a ray of sunshine shone on her and told her that you are a human being and you will feel pain.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. It's windy here and it's going to break."

Shen Lu took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped her tears.

"I'm sorry for scaring you. I'm fine. Take this back and eat it. Eat more so you can grow taller."

How could she have the nerve to take a little girl's candy? She stuffed the candy in her hand into Shen Lu's pocket. She hadn't eaten candy in several years and almost forgot what it tasted like, but she couldn't take this candy.

"Look, I still have some in my pocket. You look so bad. Why are you wearing so little in such a cold day?"

Shen Lu had no choice but to show her the sugar dew in her pocket. She touched Li Xiujuan's hand, which was like ice. Xu Shiqing put the water glass to her mouth and forced her to drink a few sips.

After a while, her complexion looked much better. Shen Lu stuffed another piece of candy into her mouth. The sweet and sticky feeling washed away the bitter taste in her mouth.

"I'm fine. You two should be careful when you go up the mountain. Don't take the side roads. Li Hongjun's father fell off the mountain and died."

Li Xiujuan is like an older sister, giving instructions to her two younger sisters who know nothing.

The hard life did not wear away her kindness, so when she saw Shen Lu fall into the water, she held her belly and ran to call for help.

"Are you going to keep going like this? Even if you can endure this hardship, what about your children?"

Li Xiujuan touched her belly. It wasn’t obvious yet, but her child was there. If this was the family’s situation, should she (he) come?

If it was a boy, it might be okay, but if it was a girl, she couldn't even imagine what kind of life she would have lived since childhood.

"But I have nowhere to go. The Li family is the only place I can live."

"Everything will be fine in the future, as long as you don't give up on yourself"
