Let’s split up if we want to. I have a system, so who should I be afraid of?

From a distance, I could hear the crying voices of a little girl and a little boy running towards me.

Tracing back the memories of the original owners, this should be the eight-year-old third son Qin Xiao and the five-year-old fourth daughter Qin Yueyue.

Both children looked pale and thin, and it was obvious that they were not getting enough nutrition.

The gray coarse cloth clothes were obviously not the right size for the two children, and they were covered in patches here and there. Their shoes were also patched cloth shoes, stained with mud.

Su Panpan felt distressed when she saw this.

She quickly squatted forward, put her left and right arms around the two children's shoulders, patted them gently, and said distressedly: "Don't worry, mother will go over and take a look first. You just stay in the house, it's cold outside."

The third son and fourth daughter still had traces of tears on their faces.

"Okay, Mom, you go and see big brother. I'll stay here and not cause any trouble for Mom." The five-year-old daughter responded in a baby voice.

"Yueyue is so good. Xiaoxiao and her sister are in the room. Mom will be back soon." The third son nodded obediently.

After saying that, she hurried to the yard. On the right side of her house, the wall was piled with chopped firewood.

The thirteen-year-old eldest son Qin Mu was squatting beside him, and the eleven-year-old second daughter Qin Xiaoxiao was bandaging her brother.

There was a lot of blood on the ground.

Su Panpan's heart tightened.

"Mom, my brother hurt his hand." When Xiaoxiao saw her coming, she quickly made room, stood up and moved to the other side, turned her head away, tears welling up in her eyes.

Su Panpan squatted down and gently picked up Qin Mu's arm.

The bandage was not professional enough, so she untied it again and looked at the wound carefully. Fortunately, no important parts were injured, but the wound was a little deep. A lot of blood had just flowed out, but the bleeding has basically stopped now.

"Just bear with it for now." Su Panpan no longer cared about Qin Mu's pain.

She asked her second daughter to fetch a basin of clean water and kept rinsing the wound.

After rinsing the wound, he asked his second daughter to go to the kitchen and secretly dig out some salt, dilute it with cold boiled water to make salt water, and rinse the wound again.

He also asked his second daughter to go back to the house and find a piece of clean cloth to bandage the wound.

She had always treated outdoor injuries this way, but she had previously used iodine and disinfectant. There was no tetanus shot available here.

All we can do is let Qin Mu have a good rest and get better soon.

Just as he finished his work here, the eldest son, despite the pain, looked at Su Panpan with a guilty and apologetic look, then lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Mom, I'm sorry, it was my fault. When I was about to carry the firewood, the axe next to me fell down. I wanted to catch it, but I didn't expect to hit my arm. I can't work recently, and I'm going to cause Mom to be scolded by grandma again."

Hearing this, Su Panpan felt very uncomfortable. He was so sensible at such a young age.

When she was 13 years old, she was still playing skipping rope, hopscotch, cat's tuck, throwing stones, throwing sandbags, playing badminton, playing marbles and playing cards with boys with her classmates. Apart from studying, she was playing all kinds of games.

Whoever loves this life will live it up. They work themselves to death every day, don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and have to face the ridicule and abuse of this vicious mother-in-law every day, and even beatings.

Su Panpan straightened his shoulders and looked at him seriously: "Qin Mu, do you want to live a life like this, starving, cold, and being scolded everywhere? Answer truthfully."

"Mom, I don't want to."

Qin Mu looked at Su Panpan in front of him, and suddenly felt that his mother seemed a little different today. His mother in the past felt sorry for him and would only cry, accept his fate and complain about her miserable life, and never asked him such questions.

He seemed to see hope and his eyes became expectant.

"But, mother, we don't want to live like this, but there is no other way."

The second daughter next door didn't want to live like this anymore. She had to get up every day to fetch water, boil water, and empty the toilet for them. She was also forced to pull weeds and plant beans in the fields. She was really fed up with it.

A bold idea flashed through my mind: it would be better to split up than to be bullied every day.

"Mu'er, Xiaoxiao, do you believe in your mother?"

The two children were silent. They looked at each other, then simultaneously lowered their little faces, and secretly observed their mother's expression with their peripheral vision, unable to figure out what her mother was planning.

It’s not that they don’t want to believe their mother, but their mother has always endured it in the past. Every time she was bullied, even if the eldest son wanted to resist, she asked him to endure it.

Su Panpan looked at their expressions and roughly guessed most of their concerns.

"Don't worry, mom will never let you be bullied again." She squatted in front of the two children.

Although she is not a real mother, she has no relatives here when she first arrived, and these children are so well-behaved and sensible that it is hard not to feel pity for them.

Su Panpan silently made a great decision in her heart: let me protect you from now on!

His eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.

He asked his second daughter to go into the house and pull out a long piece of cloth, which she then wrapped around her entire arm.

The injury looks more serious, no different from the wounded soldiers on the battlefield.

After finishing all this, he picked up the axe next to him and asked his second daughter to go back to the house where she lived to take care of his third son and fourth daughter, and told her to close the door, although it didn't make much difference whether it was closed or not.

They lived in a side room and usually shared the kitchen with their mother-in-law, while their mother-in-law and the first and second wives lived in the mud houses that were newly built a few years ago.

As she stepped into the hall, she could clearly feel that this room was much warmer than her shabby room.

My mother-in-law and the first and second wives are having breakfast.

Mother-in-law Zhao had changed her clothes and sat in the main seat. The eldest wife's Qin Youqian and Fang sat on the right, the second wife's Qin Youwen and Shen sat on the left, and several children were holding bowls and sitting on the low stools nearby. They drank porridge from the bowl in one hand and stuffed the bread into their mouths in the other hand.

On the table was a plate of pickled beans, a few cakes, and a bowl of black wild vegetable porridge.

There were no dishes or chopsticks from the three rooms on the table.

They look like a family, quite harmonious.

"Oh, it tastes delicious!"

Su Panpan chopped the dining table with an axe, and the pickled vegetables and beans were shaken out.

The first and second wives were both shocked. How could they have ever seen Su Panpan in such a state? They stared blankly at the scene in front of them.

Seeing Su Panpan coming over with an axe in her hand, her mother-in-law Zhao had already put down her bowl and chopsticks and walked out from the corner of the hall with a hammer.

"Su Panpan, what do you want to do?" In view of what happened in the morning, the mother-in-law did not dare to act rashly and just took a hammer to protect herself.

"I don't want to do anything. I just want to have breakfast and come here to ask for some medical expenses."

After saying that, he picked up a piece of cake from the table and gave it to his eldest son. The eldest son didn't dare to eat it and put it in his pocket.

Then she picked up another piece of cake and put it in her mouth. After chewing it for a few times, she said, "Pooh...Pooh...Pooh, what is this? Why is it so disgusting? It's dry and tasteless, like chewing wax, and it's hard to swallow."

She spat out the cake, her face showing an unconcealable disgust.

Her action was like a bomb suddenly dropped on a calm lake.

Everyone present was shocked by this sudden behavior.
