The world is broken, the cubs mend it

Yuanyuan thought his father was going to fight back, so he ran away immediately, but he tripped over his left foot and fell flat on his face.

Fortunately, the land was relatively flat, winter had just passed, and she was wearing thick pants, so she didn't get hurt much from the fall.

Chen Jiahe lowered his head and patted the water on his clothes. Water droplets flowed down his eye sockets. He raised his hand and smoothed his hair behind his head, revealing his delicate eyebrows.

When I raised my eyes to look for the child, I caught a glimpse of the little guy sitting on the ground at some point.

After their eyes met, Yuanyuan got up from the ground, patted her butt and ran away without saying anything.

She wanted to cry, but she was the one who splashed water on her father first. She felt embarrassed to cry because she fell, and her father didn't show any intention of helping her.

"..."

Seeing that the child left without saying a word, Chen Jiahe thought it was no big deal, so she sat down and continued washing clothes.

After school started, there were fewer children in the village, so Yuanyuan went to find Yingying to play with her as if she was familiar with the place.

Wang Yingying was helping to dry the quilts at home. She was standing under a bamboo pole and pulling the corners of the quilts. When she saw her coming, she quickly came over to greet him.

"Mom, I'm going to play!"

"Go and come back early!"

Yingying's facial features were gentle, but her face was covered with many wrinkles and her head had a lot of white hair.

The two little guys held hands and went to the river to pick thatch grass sprouts, which are also called thatch needles. The thatch grass sprouts in this season are the most delicious and sweetest.

Yuanyuan followed Yingying and found one that looked similar, then pulled it off and showed it to her.

"Why did you come to play with me by yourself?"

Yingying gave half of the cattail needles in her hand to her. Usually, Lele and I would go to play with her, and she rarely came to visit us on her own initiative.

“I fell!”

"You're not hurt, are you?"

"no!"

"What does this have to do with you coming to see me?"

"I fell down, but my dad didn't care about me."

Yuanyuan pouted and complained, peeling a reed needle and putting it in her mouth to chew.

"Why? Why didn't I take care of you?"

Wang Yingying looked at her in confusion. Uncle Jiahe was usually very nice to her, so why did he just ignore her after she fell?

"Dad just took a look, and he didn't even come to help me."

"Does it hurt when you fell?"

"Emm..." Yuanyuan touched his chin and pondered for a moment, then nodded firmly: "It hurts!"

After walking for half a day, she had long forgotten whether it hurt or not. Anyway, it would definitely hurt if she fell.

"You fell and got hurt, but you didn't help me? Why is Uncle Jiahe like this?"

Wang Yingying had a serious face. Her brother was so distressed when she fell that he would immediately pull her up.

"you do not say!"

Seeing her speaking up for her, Yuanyuan quickly nodded vigorously.

It is well known that children cannot lie, but they can tell lies.

"Uncle Jiahe is usually so nice to you, why is he suddenly so mean to you? Does he have a baby outside?"

Wang Yingying thought all this was very unusual, and she began to speculate.

"What?"

Yuanyuan widened her eyes. Daddy has another baby on his back besides her?

"What?"

007 also pricked up his ears and asked it to listen to what was going on.

The nonsense of the little brat sounds more interesting than the gossip in the village.

"Look, Uncle Jiahe usually loves you so much, why would he treat you so badly all of a sudden? He must have given his good things to others!"

"Really?"

"That's how I feel. I heard Uncle Ma Zi say that love doesn't disappear, it just shifts, and the same is definitely true for family love.

There is also Uncle Erzhu at the head of the village. He fell in love with a widow from Liujia Village, so he is not nice to his wife anymore. "

Wang Yingying’s analysis was very logical. She felt that this must be the case, but where did Uncle Jiahe hide the baby?

"What you said makes sense, so what should I do?"

Yuanyuan pouted in grievance. Her father had a baby outside, so what should she do?

Thinking of this, she was so sad that she could hardly control herself. She completely forgot to get up and ran away without even giving her father a chance to greet her.

"This... I don't know, why don't you go back and ask?"

Wang Yingying scratched her head. She had no experience with this kind of thing.

"Will the kids outside bully me?"

Yuanyuan's mouth almost drooped to the ground, she couldn't beat anyone.

"Not only will they bully you, they will also steal your father, sleep in your bed, and eat your food."

Wang Yingying stood up, hugged her, and patted her little head gently, feeling that she was so pitiful.

"What?"

Yuanyuan's little brain was not enough and she was dizzy from what was said. She sniffed and managed not to cry.

"I'm going to go back and ask my dad."

"She lied to you and fooled you."

007 looked at her weak, helpless and desolate back and couldn't help but remind her.

"Sister Yingying wouldn't lie to me..."

On the way back, Yuanyuan finally couldn't hold back her tears and wiped them away as she walked.

Aunt Chen, who was working in the fields, ran into her and greeted her with a smile: "Yuanyuan, why are you here alone? Where is your father?"

"At home..."

Yuanyuan lowered her head, sniffed, and walked forward silently.

"What's going on? Who bullied you again?"

Seeing that she looked sick, Aunt Chen quickly squatted down and put her hands on her shoulders.

This was a shocking sight: the child's face was covered with tear marks.

"What's going on? Why are you crying like this?"

"Aunt, my dad has a baby outside, wuwuwu..."

When people are upset, they can't stand being asked. Yuanyuan listened to her aunt's gentle voice and couldn't help crying.

"What? Who told you that?"

Aunt Chen wiped the tears from her face and asked where she had heard this gossip.

"Sister Yingying told me that the kid outside wanted to steal my dad, sleep in my bed, and eat my food."

Yuanyuan threw herself into Aunt Chen's arms and burst into tears, completely immersed in sadness and unable to extricate herself.

"What? Tell me slowly, I'll take you back."

Aunt Chen picked up the little girl and listened to her crying as she told him what had happened.

From the child's intermittent voice, she roughly understood that all this was speculated by the little girl Yingying.

"This might be true. Yingying was just guessing, and guesses are always false!"

"Is it fake?"

Yuanyuan looked at her uncertainly, and Rabbit also said it was fake.

"Of course! Think about how good your father is to you, why would he hide a doll outside? Besides, people are not objects, so how can they be hidden?"

Aunt Chen was amused by her. How could this silly child believe everything?

After sending the person home, Chen Jiahe had just finished washing the sheets and was hanging them on the clothesline.

Seeing the child being brought back by the village head's wife, he straightened the sheets and quickly went forward to greet the child. Seeing the child's eyes were red from crying, he asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Aunt Chen told him the whole story from beginning to end, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She handed the child to him and said, "Hurry up and talk to the child. He has been crying all the way."

"Okay, thank you, auntie!"

Chen Jiahe took the child and patted him gently twice, feeling both distressed and amused.
