Abstinence Master Sheng knocks on the door at night: Madam, please fulfill your obligations

Childhood, rainy day, pavilion by the lake.

The little girl's cheeks were swollen on both sides, and there were clear palm prints on her tender face.

She was still wearing ill-fitting singlet, with purple bruises faintly visible at the rolled-up cuffs.

Sheng Tingyuan felt a surge of pity in his heart: "Who hit you?"

"my mother."

"Why did she hit you?"

"The young lady pushed Little Lihua into the lake. After Little Lihua was rescued by an adult on the shore, she pushed the young lady into the lake again."

"What does this have to do with you?"

"My mother said it was my fault that I didn't protect the young lady. She also asked me to tell the lady that it was me who pushed Xiao Lihua, not the young lady. I refused to say it, so she kept beating me."

Sheng Tingyuan clenched his fists: "Come on, I'll take you to the police."

The little girl shook her head: "No, brother, I'm fine."

After a long time, Sheng Tingyuan asked her again: "Where are the clothes I gave you? The weather is getting colder, why don't you wear them?"

"The clothes were taken away by the young lady. She said I stole them and told my mother that I stole the clothes. I said you gave them to me, but she didn't believe me."

There was another long silence.

"Little Lotus, come with me!"

"Brother, where are you going?"

"Go to my house. You will live in my house from now on. Don't go home."

"No, brother. I can't go to your house and cause you trouble. Besides, I have to wait for my father to come home. He said before he left that as long as I am obedient, he will definitely come back."

Sheng Tingyuan took her hand and turned up her sleeves. Seeing the shocking bruises, he felt nervous: "If you continue to live at home, you will die."

The little girl gently covered his hand with her other hand: "Brother, your hands are so warm. I wish I really had a brother like you."

Sheng Tingyuan let her go, took off his coat, put it on her, and then held her hand again: "Come on, I'll take you to buy medicine."

The little girl didn't move. She lowered her head in embarrassment and shame: "Brother, I don't have any money."

Sheng Tingyuan touched her head: "It's okay, brother has it."

"Well, I'll give it back to my brother when I have money in the future."

"it is good."

Sheng Tingyuan held an umbrella, held her hand, and went to the drugstore to buy ointment. Then, under the eaves of the drugstore, he carefully applied it on her face and arms.

He put the remaining ointment and money into her pocket.

He reminded her: "Hide the medicine and money yourself, don't let anyone find them."

The little girl hastily refused: "No, brother, you gave me too much money, I can't pay it back."

"You don't have to pay me back now. When you grow up and can make money, you can pay me back slowly. Of course, you don't have to pay me back. I don't need money."

"No, you have to pay it back. Don't worry, brother. When I grow up, I will work hard to make money. Then I will give you a lot of money. Let's make a pinky promise!"

Sheng Tingyuan stretched out his finger and made a pinky promise with her: "Then I'll wait until you grow up."

The little girl was very excited: "I want to grow up quickly and make a lot of money!"

Sheng Tingyuan said in a light voice: "It's enough for you to grow up. You don't need to make a lot of money."

"No, you have to make a lot of money and spend it on your brother, dad, and Xiaolihua."

She counted so many people but didn't count herself. Sheng Tingyuan felt uncomfortable hearing that.

She held the ointment in her pocket like a treasure and asked him innocently, "Brother, the ointment is so expensive. Can you make a lot of money by making medicine?"

“Yeah, it does make money.”

"Then when I grow up, I'll sell medicine!"
