In the book, I was fed by my sister

"Mother-in-law, it hurts."

As soon as the two of them walked to the door of Damai's house, they heard Damai's crying voice.

"You know it hurts, but you still put rice grains in your hair. I might as well pull out all your hair and save me a lot of trouble." A hoarse and harsh voice accompanied by Barley's sobbing came from the yard.

"No, no, Damai doesn't want to be a monk! Grandma is so mean!"

Song Li was about to push the door open, but was gently pulled back by Li Zi who was standing beside her.

"Don't you need to go in?"

Li Zi leaned close to Song Li's ear and whispered, "That's Da Mai's grandmother. We can't go in now. If we go in now, she'll scold us too.

Song Li nodded, and the two of them quietly crouched in the corner.

In the yard, the washed sheets exuded a clean soapy smell in the sunlight.

The old man with a head full of silver hair stood hunched in the sun, squinting his eyes as he picked out the rice grains stuck to his hair bit by bit. "I don't have many years left to live anyway, so I can't care if I get as dirty as a mud monkey in the future."

Zhou Huixin cleaned the rice grains off Damai's head and began to take off Damai's clothes. Maybe Damai's skin was too tender, or maybe his hands were too strong from farm work, but after taking off a piece of clothing, Damai's skin turned red.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!" Da Mai struggled continuously in pain, and his strength was so great that Zhou Huixin fell down.

Zhou Huixin got up and slapped Damai hard to make her calm down.

When she took off her skirt, Zhou Huixin saw the spots on Damai's body. After a while, she sighed and said as if to comfort herself: "Anyway, you are a child who can't lay eggs. The medicine your mother gave you before she left didn't take you away. Instead, it made you live longer, so that you won't have to suffer the pain of having children in your life."

She said this cruelly, but her eyes were wet. Through her tearful eyes, she saw the similarities between Da Mai's eyebrows and her daughter's, and she couldn't help but shed tears. "God couldn't take your life three times in a row. You were born to suffer."

She wiped her tears and laughed, "What can I say to you, a fool? You don't understand anything. As long as I am here, I can still give you clean clothes and hot meals. But you still have to live for a long, long time. If I am gone..." She sighed, "It would be better if I die. If I die, I will be free."

Da Mai didn't understand why the person in front of her started crying while talking. She reached out and rubbed the person's head: "Good boy, don't cry."

Outside the yard, Li Zi wiped away her tears.

"why are you crying?"

"I don't know. I'm just a little sad."

When Barley touched the water, he started screaming and shouting, and no one knew how long the noise went on in the yard.

Song Li and the other person squatted in a narrow alley, and the moss on the stone foundation at the base of the wall collapsed under their weight.

Li Zi pulled at his collar several times to let in some cool air.

Finally, the gate was pushed open, the door knocker made a crisp sound, and the sound of footsteps became farther and farther away.

Li Zi poked his little head out, and seeing that there was no one around, he stood up, rubbed his numb legs, and opened the door with ease.

"Barley! Look what delicious food I brought you." Chestnut shouted.

"Li Zi!" Da Mai in the yard was blowing off the wounds on his body. When he saw Li Zi, he forgot the pain and ran towards Li Zi and the other man with a grin.

She threw the chestnut up and put it down again, and at the same time she noticed Song Li behind the chestnut and reached out her hand to Song Li.

"No! No!" Song Li quickly refused.

"Fly high!"

Song Li was lifted up, helplessness written all over her face.

Her body didn't have the strength to resist an adult.

"Is the little hero unhappy?" Da Mai asked with his head tilted when he saw that Song Li did not giggle like Li Zi.

Song Li was afraid that the big guy would pick her up and throw her away again, so she forced a smile.

"Look, Barley, what delicious food I brought you." Li Zi took out an oil-paper bag from his arms.

"Oh! Delicious!" Da Mai's eyes lit up, and he opened the oil paper bag and spread it in his palm. He sniffed it like a puppy, and then buried his face in his palm.

"Look, I eat it so cleanly." Barley unfolded the oil paper and licked all the remaining soup clean.

"I also want to be like you and lick the bowl clean, so that I don't have to wash the dishes." Li Zi said with a serious expression.

Song Li held her forehead with her hand, wondering what kind of person she was making friends with.

"Barley, come hang out with us today."

"Will the hero play with us?"

The "hero" that Damai mentioned was obviously referring to Song Li. Song Li had been hiding from them for the past few days, and Damai shrank back into the yard like a frightened quail.

When she saw Song Li today, her eyes lit up. With this protective shield, she was no longer afraid of being bullied.

"Together!" Li Zi said loudly, holding Song Li's hand.

The three of them went out and walked along the country road, the summer sun shining sparsely on them through the leaves.

"You are not allowed to go any further!" Li Rongrong jumped out from nowhere and stopped them.

Now that Li Zi had someone to back him up, he became more assertive. "This road isn't yours! Why do you say no?"

Li Rongrong looked at Li Zi, then at Song Li: "It's fine if you don't listen to me, but don't cry and embarrass us girls later!"

Li Zi made a face and said, "You are the one who loves to cry the most!"

Li Rongrong was angry and left.

This little incident did not stop Li Zi from being happy. She held Song Li's hand with one hand and Da Mai with the other.

"Snapped!"

A black, smelly ball of mud flew over and hit the clothes that Da Mai had just put on.

"My mother-in-law is going to scold me." Damai touched the mud stains on his body, pouted and said in a crying voice.

Song Li looked in the direction where the mud ball came from, and saw several heads sticking out from behind a big rock.

The leader, Li Guan, stood up, weighed the mud ball in his hand and smiled, "Does it smell good? It contains Grandpa's essence."

Song Li frowned. There was still a lingering smell of urine in the air. She immediately understood what Li Guan meant by "essence".

They really don’t find it disgusting to play with their own pee. I don’t know if these little brats are just playing with themselves, or...

"Brothers! Smash it! Let that shorty Song learn a lesson."

Li Zi, a four-year-old girl, had never seen such a fight before. It seemed as if countless mud balls were thrown at her. She was so shocked that she stood there in a daze.

Song Li was not afraid of this smell. She could remain calm even in the worst corpse odor in July, let alone this little urine smell.

She was about to rush behind the rock when a big hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed her.

"barley?"

Song Li was a little shocked and looked up at the barley that surrounded her and Li Zi.

Damai was a moron, and everything she said and did was like that of a child. At this moment, she closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and used her body to block all the mud balls that flew towards her.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!" The mud ball kept hitting the flesh and making sounds.

The sound stopped after about a dozen times, and Da Mai was still holding the two people tightly and refused to let go.

Song Li pried open Da Mai's arms and stuck her head out.

"You didn't expect that your grandfather still had a trick up his sleeve!" When Li Guan saw Song Li sticking her head out, he threw the mud ball in his hand towards Song Li's face.

Song Li reached out and grabbed the flying mud ball, and the wet mud flowed down her arm.

"Hahahaha!" Seeing Song Li's embarrassing look, a group of boys burst into laughter.

Li Guan laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

“Hahaha! I told you to be so arrogant. From now on, when you see me, your grandpa, you must take a detour! Otherwise… well…”

Song Li aimed at Li Guan's screaming mouth and threw the mud ball in his hand back with force.

Li Guan's mouth and nose were full of smelly mud, which choked him and made him cry.
