Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Little Pei put his hand through the hole in his clothes and could even touch his belly.

There were exactly four holes in the clothes.

It looked like it was caught by something, maybe a mouse.

why?

She doesn't know, she is just a little kid who knows nothing about this world!

There was also a mad adult around.

Liu Renben was really angry, but he didn't beat Pei Xiaohai because the rattan stick he bought was actually a heavy cane that he used for leaning on. If he used it to hit someone, he was afraid that he would beat her to death.

The people who were traveling with him pulled him aside and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just find the child."

He also advised Pei Xiao, "You must have suffered a lot outside. Now, admit your mistakes to your father and go home obediently."

Liu Renben glared at her and thought to himself: Since she calls me dad, I'll just give in.

Pei Xiaohai stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not wrong! Who told you to get me in the car? I won't go with you. Let me get off!"

Pei Xiaohai didn't have a donkey-like face, but she had a donkey-like temperament. After a brief moment of confusion, she immediately did what she wanted to do most, picked up the cat and was about to jump out of the car.

The five tied-up pigs grunted and squealed.

How heavy can a child and five pigs a few months old be after struggling a few times?

Anyway, Pei Xiaohai felt that if those people hadn't pulled her, the car would not have overturned into the ditch.

"Do you have anything to say?" Liu Renben looked at her with gritted teeth.

Pei Xiaohai wiped the mud off his face, thought for a moment, and said indignantly: "This is all your fault!"

"You are my second aunt, I will beat you to death!" It was the first time since Liu Renben became lame that he jumped so high, and he raised his cane to hit her.

Little Pei ran away, shouting as he ran: "That's right, who told you to arrest me? If you don't catch me, won't everything be fine?"

A few adults, as thick as mud, clenched their fists tightly, and no one said a word. Beat the child, or he will make a big fuss if he is not beaten.

Pei Xiaohai was beaten up severely and was tied up by Liu Renben and put next to the pigs.

She was crying and yelling, "Let me go! Who gave you permission to tie me up? I didn't agree!"

"I, your father, agree, you little bastard. What's wrong with tying you up? What can you do to me?" Liu Renben rubbed Pei Xiaohai's short hair fiercely.

Pei Xiaohai shouted: "I will hate you forever!"

"I hate you!" Liu Renben said nonchalantly, "How can you, little kid, know what hatred means?"

"Alright, alright, stop yelling," someone advised. "When you grow up, you'll realize your dad is doing this for your own good. You must be starving begging outside. Come on, have a bite of bread."

A fried pancake was taken off the oil paper covered with mud and brought to the mouth.

It is greasy, golden, and has a meaty aroma and a salty taste.

"You're the one begging for food!"

Pei Xiaohai raised his head and said something, then stared at the cake with a bitter and resentful look.

To eat or not to eat, that is the question?

"Hey, kid," the man who took the bread was really impressed, "you won't complain even if you starve to death. The food is right in front of your mouth, and you still have the mind to curse me. Do you want to eat it or not? If you don't, I will eat it."

Liu Renben: "Don't worry about her, let her starve to death. Bring the bread over and we'll divide it up."

Little Pei bit into it and muttered, "Why?! If you want me to starve to death, I'll starve to death. It's so delicious that your big nose is bubbling!"

Why is this child so hateful?

That Xiong Jiner is exactly like the brat at home!

The adults had complicated expressions.

Liu Renben pressed her head and said angrily, "If you were a boy, I would beat you eight times a day!"

Humph, who are you looking down on?

One beating from Master Jingchi is equivalent to eight beatings. She used to be beaten every day, but she was still alive and well.

If it were those boys in the village who were looking for monsters with runny noses, they would have cried for their parents long ago.

Even Pei Xiaohai didn't want to bother with him.

After eating the fried dough sticks, I was so tired that I fell asleep. I woke up once and was angry: "Did you drug me? Why am I so sleepy?!"

Liu Renben really wanted to beat her to death and even drugged her. She wanted to see what kind of mess she had made.

His hair was disheveled, and his face and arms were covered in bruises. What had bitten them? His clothes were torn, his shoes were broken, his hands were covered in scratches, and his legs were covered in bruises. He didn't know where he had been hit.

She's in such a state, it's impossible for her not to be tired or sleepy. At home, no one wakes her up to work, so she's so lazy that she wants to sleep until noon. How can she sleep outside?

Liu Renben's idea was generally correct, but there was still some error.

She did live a miserable life outside and had no proper food to eat, but Pei Xiaohai didn't feel miserable at all and slept well.

She liked everything about Shanshang Temple, so she didn't care about the physical harm.

To be more precise, she wanted to go back to the past, no matter what, but that was impossible.

She was tired because she smelled too much soul-soothing incense and did a lot of work.

Liu Renben took her home, and Pei Zhu and Cui Mei washed her clean.

The jingling thing was hung back on her.

Pei Zhu wanted to say something, but was too embarrassed to do so, so she could only keep busy and enthusiastically asked her if she wanted to eat, drink, or if she wanted him to coax her to sleep.

She said happily, "I'm glad you're back, dear child. All the things that happened before don't count anymore. Let's get along well from now on, okay?"

Most of the children here are very sensible, especially the girls. They can be raised casually at home. As long as they are not dead, they will grow up stumbling around. They live more carefully than boys, but they will still be disliked by their families for being ignorant from time to time. Some of them will never hear words like an apology in their entire lives.

This is true for all biological children, but adopted children will be more obedient if they have some sense, like Baifu.

Although Pei Zhu doesn't care whether the child is a boy or a girl, it doesn't mean that other people can treat them equally. The gossip of outsiders will affect her to a certain extent, so she lives a much more obedient life than her elder brothers.

She thought, if she encountered such a thing and her mother said such words to her, she would definitely give her mother a hug immediately. After all, this mother was much better than the previous one, so it didn't matter even if she scolded her or hit her a few times.

She was already content.

But Pei kid will never be content. I didn't want you to raise me, it was you who wanted to raise me, so you should like me, be nice to me, and let me be myself. If you do that, it doesn't matter if you hit me when I make mistakes, because I know you are just being nice to me.

But obviously they can't do that...right?

Pei Xiaohai: "I want my pig to sleep in the house."

"No!" Pei Zhu's patience was really limited. It was nothing. Little Pei didn't want to get up in the middle of the night to let them go to the bathroom. She just said it casually. She said she was wrong, so she had to do something, right?

She was just about to change her request to something more reliable.

But Pei Zhu continued: "Kid, I did do some bad things, but I have already admitted my mistakes to you. You also caused so much trouble and I didn't do anything to you, right?

I am not saying this to threaten me. If you continue like this, you can go wherever you want and no one will bother you.

Now, you just stay in the house quietly and come with us tomorrow morning to apologize to them. Everything else can be forgiven, but this is not right. You said something you shouldn't have said to those kids, and they were scared when they saw a ghost."

"That's what they deserve. I'm not wrong. I won't go," Pei Xiaohai said, hands on his hips. "They wanted to find monsters themselves. I don't know where the monsters are, so I can only tell them where the ghosts are. I helped them. What's wrong with that?"

"you……"

Pei Zhu really didn't know what was going on. At first glance, she thought there was nothing wrong with it, but this was not the case.

"Even if they asked you, you shouldn't have said anything. How old are those kids? How old are you? If they're naive, aren't you too? If you have the ability, you should be warning everyone not to go there. Why do you tell them the moment they ask? If someone asks you where to hang yourself, are you going to tell them?"

Pei, who is only eight years old, doesn't feel that he is much older than them.

She shouted, "Why not?!"

"Go stand in the corner and think for yourself. When you figure it out, that's it!"

Pei Zhu also got angry and yelled loudly.

The mother-daughter relationship that had barely lasted for a while was shattered in an instant.

Pei Zhu doesn't really want to raise Pei's child.

What she wanted was a child that was just what she wanted.

Is that possible?

Little Pei still wants a life that suits his heart.

Pei Zhu was afraid that she would not obey, so she threatened her: "If you dare to run away, I will sell all those pigs."
