My eldest uncle touched the muscles of his arm and stopped us with a fierce look on his face.

Shen Bi looked at my grandmother in a bit of a panic.

My grandmother turned her head and looked like she couldn't see anything.

As for my aunt, she laughed arrogantly.

"Grandpa knows that my uncle does this?" My voice trembled a little with anger, but my eldest uncle heard it with fear.

He grinned smugly, "It doesn't matter if you know it anymore, now give you a minute, you can figure out what to do for yourself." ”

"Is my uncle really going to beat us two children in the hospital?" I deliberately bit the word "child".

My eldest uncle was not happy, "You can't give money?" ”

"Give money?" I smiled, "Not to mention that the two of us never bring money when we go out, even if we want to take the money, we have to ask my mother's permission, after all, it's all my mother's money." ”

"Don't coax me, I already knew that your family's money is earned by you, your mother must have the ability to make money, and your father can still dump her?" My eldest uncle smiled disdainfully.

When I heard this, I felt a sigh in my heart, and hurriedly asked, "Who is the eldest uncle listening to, and where will I make money as a child." ”

"Of course your dad and your stepmom said it." My eldest uncle said openly.

I froze in my heart, and some things that I had been thinking of unclearly before seemed to be suddenly connected.

At this moment, the door of the ward was quickly pushed open, and my father and Widow Zhang appeared in the aisle with food.

"Dad......" Shen Bi shouted with a crying voice.

After all, he was a child, and he was probably frightened by my uncle's sudden actions.

My dad didn't pay attention to Shen Bi, but turned his head to look at my eldest uncle, and said with a solemn face, "Dechang, what are you doing?" ”

"What? These two little girls have harmed Guomei like this, and it costs a lot of money to be hospitalized for several days, so someone has to come out. My eldest uncle grinned, "Or, big brother, you come out?" ”

My dad jumped back as if he had been stung by a scorpion and said loudly, "What's the business with me?" ”

My eldest uncle smiled disdainfully.

I laughed too.

No wonder my eldest uncle dared to ask me for money in the hospital, because he knew that my father would not protect us at all.

He won't protect us at all!

Shen Bi behind me seemed to have figured out this joint, stubbornly wiped away the tears on her face, and said loudly, "We won't give you money, we won't give you a cent." ”

"You, Stinky Nizi!" My eldest uncle clenched his fists and was about to hit us with a gloomy face.

I took Shen Bi's hand, and I caught a glimpse of a box of leftover vegetable soup on the table next to me, and my heart moved, and I picked up the vegetable soup with lightning speed, and smashed it directly into my eldest uncle's face.

The eldest uncle subconsciously closed his eyes and hid to the side.

I took the opportunity to pull Shen Bi, split my father and Widow Zhang, and ran directly to the outside of the ward.

"These two stinky girls, I'm going to kill you." In the ward, my eldest uncle yelled angrily and turned around and was about to rush out and beat me.

I was not afraid, standing in the aisle where people came and went, and said coldly, "Fight, my uncle can beat hard, let the people around you see, how you bully the two children, I see if your Ma family is still cheeky." ”

The mention of the cheek was like a mantra that fixed my uncle at the door of the ward.

"Dechang, you fight, kill the two of them, teach them a good lesson!" My aunt was still yelling in the house.

My eldest uncle's face was very hideous, and he could see that he was also a little entangled.

At this moment, a few well-dressed young men passed by in the aisle, saw our confrontational lineup, and took a surprised look at it several times.

After leaving, they exchanged a few words of discussion.

My eldest uncle probably heard something, blushed and lowered his hand, and spat at me, "Good luck for you this time." ”

After saying that, he entered the house in disgust and closed the door.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and my heart, which was hanging in mid-air, finally fell back.

"Sister." Shen Bi looked at me aggrievedly, with a crying voice.

"Xiaobi is not afraid." I touched her head, "Let's go, let's go home." ”

Shen Bi nodded tearfully.

However, at this time, the door of the ward, which had just been closed for a short time, was opened again.

I turned my head warily, only to see my dad walking out alone.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't protect us, he was his own father and would never harm us.

"Xiao Jiang, you wait a minute...... "My dad called out to us, and said a little slurred, "Xiao Jiang...... That one...... When are you and Xiaobi coming back for a few days...... Dad misses you a little. ”

Shen Bi and I turned our heads at the same time and stared at my dad in surprise, unable to believe that he would say such a thing.

My dad didn't seem to get used to it, coughed twice, and lowered his head.

"Forget Dad, my mother can't do business alone, and Shen Bi and I can't do it yet." I pursed my lips and politely declined.

"No, you have to come back and stay for a while." My dad quickly raised his head again, staring at me with burning eyes, "It's really not okay to let Xiaobi accompany your mother, Xiaojiang will come back to live for a while." ”

I frowned and stared at my dad intensely, and the speculations that had come to mind in the ward at the heart of my eldest uncle's words came back to me.

Why did my dad insist that I go back to live?

Could it be......

I lowered my eyelashes and said tentatively, "It's not easy for my mother to make money alone every day, and I really don't feel at ease about leaving her." ”

"She's selling something there, what's the hard work." My dad was a little dismissive.

"Of course it's hard work." I said seriously, "We have only been making fruit bowls for two days, and some people around us have imitated them, and now the ice porridge is gradually being imitated, and we are almost out of business." ”

"Impossible." Before I finished speaking, my dad became anxious, "Didn't you say that no one could imitate that ice porridge recipe?" Many people don't taste like that, how can they be imitated so quickly! If this is really imitated......"

"If this is really imitated, Dad, it won't be useful if you want this recipe, right?" I endured the anger in my heart and deliberately asked my dad around the corner.

My dad nodded in amazement and sighed regretfully.

I held back the anger in my heart, clenched my hands into fists, restrained the urge to smash my fists, gritted my teeth and said, "Dad, don't worry, in fact, the taste they imitate is not right, and the most authentic ice porridge is still sold by our family." ”

"Ah, that's good...... That's good......" My dad breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Jiang, you have to protect this recipe and don't reveal it to others." ”

"Thank you dad for caring about me and mom." I smiled, "This recipe is indeed very important, don't worry, I won't reveal it to anyone, even if it's my own father, I won't reveal it!" ”

After speaking, I took Shen Bi's hand and left here.

Leaving my dad alone, he stood there in astonishment.

As I was descending the stairs, I glanced down the straight corridor and happened to see Widow Zhang open the door and come up to my father, whispering something.

What can I say, it's nothing more than pleading my dad and continuing to ask for this recipe.

And my dad really came over and asked for the ice porridge recipe we relied on for our lives.

Oh, what kind of father at least won't hurt us!

It's all bullshit!

As I went down the stairs, I thought hatefully, fake, it's all fake.

Because I was so sad and angry in my heart, I didn't notice my feet for a while, but I stepped on the air and threw myself forward.

Shen Bi screamed behind me, but she couldn't pull my clothes.

I glanced at the stairs with seven or eight steps left, closed my eyes, and prepared to be attacked by pain.

After a few moments, a faint smell of soap wafted into my nostrils, and I felt no pain, only a pair of burning palms, which were ...... It's resting on my ass.

"Ah, rascal!" I screamed, grabbed the handrail next to the stairs, and took two quick steps back.

The owner of the big burning hands frowned, withdrew his hand with some disgust, and then slowly took out a small handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully wiped the gap between his fingers.

They disliked me very much.

My mind was so dizzy that I didn't even see the man's face clearly, and I only vaguely felt that his clothes were somewhat familiar.

"Sister......" Shen Bi gently tugged at my sleeve behind me, "This person helped you, otherwise you would have fallen down the stairs." ”

Of course I knew that he had saved me, so even if I was touched on the ass, I could only sulk and not yell at them.

"Thank you...... Thank you. After a few moments, I bowed my head and thanked me.

However, no one responded to me.

I jerked my head up and realized that the man was gone.

"Sister, he seems to be in a hurry, and he is walking fast." Shen Bi whispered behind me.

I pursed my lips and didn't speak, but when I went downstairs next, my pace was much more steady.

When I got home from the hospital, I didn't recover for a long time.

It's not just the panic of almost falling, it's more of a chill for my dad.

I can imagine that on the day Widow Zhang and my father got married, or even earlier, they began to premeditate and ask for the ice porridge recipe, which is why Widow Zhang invited me back to live.

As for what my dad said about not paying child support, it may be a trick, or it is to kill two birds with one stone.

Either way, it's enough to chill my heart.

The next day, I regained some of my spirits and told my mother when she was selling ice porridge that she couldn't pass on the recipe for ice porridge no matter what, and I couldn't tell anyone, not even my father or my grandfather.

My mom nodded vigorously.

That's how I put my heart back in my stomach.

I know Widow Zhang and my dad won't give up, but I won't let them get their wish!

Fortunately, my dad seemed to understand my sarcasm that day, and he didn't appear in front of me again for more than half a month.

And my grandparents also returned to the countryside after my aunt was discharged from the hospital, and life seems to have returned to the same calm as before.

Until one day, I waited at the intersection for Shen Bi, whose hair was messy and her clothes were messy.
