Pei Xiaohai felt that he was right in his argument, but no one cared at all.

The villagers all felt sorry for Widow Mu and her son, and gathered around to comfort them.

Pei Xiaohai and Waiya were pushed aside.

Widow Zhao even pushed Waiya, who was standing there crying, aside and said perfunctorily, "Okay, stop crying and go home."

Then he said to Pei Xiaohai, "Miss, I know you've been wronged, but your Aunt Mu and Brother Dalang didn't mean it. They're pitiful enough, even more wronged than you. After all, death is the greatest thing. You shouldn't make a fuss in the mourning hall. Go home, and don't tell your parents about this. Don't let them worry about it."

A woman who still hadn't figured out what was going on chimed in, "Yes, Miss, you're a good person. Don't say anything when you get home. Have you forgotten that when you were a child, you followed the nuns to the village, and the old Mu family also gave you a handful of rice..."

When you eat food from hundreds of families, you must remember their kindness, even if it is just a handful of rice that you forget.

Pei Xiaohai wanted to ignore it, but she mentioned the old nuns.

Okay, she accepted it, it would be best if they didn't do anything else to provoke her!

"Wai Ya, let's go."

Pei Xiaohai pulled Waiya up and left. When he returned to the shack, he felt something was wrong. She had just said she would report it to the Liu family, but now she was told not to say anything. Doesn't that mean they were also in the wrong?

"What kind of thing is this? I shouldn't have gone if I had known!"

Pei Xiaohai's mood was as bad as the weather outside.

Waiya said, "Mu Dalang's mother is just like him. When I throw stones at him later, I'll throw his mother too!"

"Let's not do it," Pei Xiaohai suddenly retreated. "A good man never suffers a loss in front of him. What if she really complains?"

Waiya knew without thinking that the old man was not good at anything else but beating his daughter. If someone really came to complain, he would definitely beat her to death.

Little Pei knew without even thinking: "By then, they will definitely not let us play together."

Being scolded and beaten will pass, but there are some things that Pei Xiaohai can't do anything about. If the Liu family is determined not to let her play with Waiya, she will definitely not be able to leave the house.

Waiya wiped her nose with her sleeve and said unwillingly, "They got it for free."

Pei Xiaohai was a little disgusted by her sparkling sleeves, but she didn't dislike this person, so she said without moving an eye:

"Let's talk about it later..."

They had no other choice but to go back to their homes as it was getting darker.

Pei Zhu was particularly dissatisfied when she saw Pei Xiaohai coming back so late and covered in dirt: "Look at you, you don't look like a girl at all, Cuimei, wash her well. I tell you, no matter when you go out in the future, you have to come back before the sun sets, otherwise you will never be able to go out to play again."

Pei Zhu poked Pei Xiaohai's forehead and handed her to Cuimei.

Cuimei cleaned her up, tucked her into bed, and was about to leave with the basin in her hand. Pei Xiaohai, who had a sore throat, pulled her aside and said, "I want to eat stewed pears."

"It's too late, it's not good to bother making it. You'll disturb the old man and the old lady, and you'll get scolded. I'll make it for you tomorrow morning," Cuimei said, feeling a little lazy. She put her hand back and said, "If you're hungry, there's some leftovers. I'll heat them up and bring them to you."

Pei Xiaohai: "Forget it, I'm not hungry."

"If you're not hungry, go to sleep," Cuimei yawned, and halfway through carrying the basin, she said, "I'd better bring it to you, otherwise you'll have to call me when you're hungry at night."

Little Pei has never called anyone at night.

She wanted to take Pei Xiaohai but didn't say anything. She hadn't eaten dinner, but she wasn't too hungry. But she saw that both of Pumpkin's bowls were empty.

He lifted the quilt and ran down to add some water to Pumpkin. Pumpkin drank it up with a gulp, then scratched the door to go out. As soon as Pei opened the door, it disappeared. After a while, it ran back and scratched the door to come in, probably to go to the toilet.

Cuimei came back very quickly. Pei Xiaohai put the pumpkin in and lay back in bed. Just as she was getting a little warm, she came back.

The bowl on the tray was steaming, but when I ate it I found that the middle was still cold.

Pei Xiaohai asked her, "Did you feed her pig blood and pumpkin?"

"Oh my! Look at my brain. I only remember the chickens, ducks, geese and pigs, but forgot about the cat!" Cuimei slapped her forehead in annoyance. "But Miss, you have to tell me next time. You usually feed those animals at home. You suddenly left them alone. I have to clean the house and shovel manure. How can I remember? There is no extra food here. How about letting it go out and catch a mouse or something?"

It's so cold, why doesn't she go catch mice?

Pei Xiaohai: "I'll give it half."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first, Miss. When you're done, just put the bowl on the table. Keep it safe with something to prevent the cat from knocking it over. I broke a corner of the bowl last month, and I'm afraid it'll scratch my mouth when I use it."

Cuimei closed the door and left while complaining.

Little Pei mixed the food in the bowl together and gave half to Pei Nangua. He then took out a stolen egg from the bag in the corner of the closet, cracked it open and poured it into Pei Nangua's bowl.

"Eat quickly, I will come back earlier next time."

Pei Xiaohai put on his clothes, carefully opened the door, went to the pigpen to look at the pig blood, and fed it with egg shells.

The trough was also clean. Pei poured some wheat bran into it and broke off a few cabbage petals.

Pei Pig eats a lot of blood but grows very slowly, so the Liu family no longer wants to feed it well.

Even if it is a very beautiful pig and smiles at people every day, it is useless. In the eyes of the Liu family, it is just a big and useless burden.

Just keep it as it is and kill it during the New Year.

There is no need to worry about the chickens, ducks and geese. Pei Xiaohai went to take a look and found that they were still as fat and strong as ever.

Eat well, lay eggs well, grow meat well, and wait to be eaten well.

Pei Xiaohai's half-dry hair froze in the cold night. It was hard and brittle when he grabbed it, making a crackling sound.

She touched Pei Zhuxue's pig head and sighed with emotion: "Pig blood, can you be sad?"

Pei Pig Blood: ...

Ignoring her didn't seem right, so it whined and told her, "Don't be so hypocritical. I'm a pig. If death is my fate, it would be better if you could feed me a few more mouthfuls of food. Don't always give special treatment to the hairy one in the house. Its belly is so fat that it's almost touching the ground. If you have those good eggs, give me two too."

Little Pei slapped it on the head and said, "Shh, stop humming. It's too unpleasant. If you wake people up, I'll be in trouble again."

Pei Pig Blood: ...

It would probably be sad. Every time this happened, it would miss its brothers and sisters. If they were all there, it would never be the one to get beaten.

A little moonlight penetrated the clouds and fell on Pig Blood.

Little Pei saw it... seemed to be eating... light?

"How cold must I be? Am I hallucinating?"

She shook her head in disbelief and went back into the house.

After lying down for a while, his hands and feet warmed up, and he sat up again, put on his clothes and walked out.

No, this is very wrong!
