Since last year's wax moon, her stepmother has become more and more harsh towards her, under the pretext that she should learn to help the family when she grows up, and push all kinds of things on her, washing clothes, lighting fires, and cooking are common things, and she also has to help take her younger brother and serve her stepmother to eat and wash.

As the saying goes, "if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather", and the Chunhua family responded to this sentence.

Since her stepmother gave birth to the only boy in their family, she thinks she is a great hero, she doesn't do any work at home, and she goes out to gossip and play with others all day long, not even her son, only to Chunhua and her grandmother.

And Chunhua's family treats her brother as a baby, holding it in her mouth for fear of melting, holding it in her hand for fear of falling, lest he be unhappy and uncomfortable if he is not taken care of.

Her younger brother has no shortage of food or clothing, his family holds it in the palm of his hand every day, and he holds it more than he falls asleep in a day, and his two-year-old child can't even walk, and he has to be held wherever he goes.

When the family has something to do, Chunhua becomes her brother's exclusive "car", but she is an eight-year-old girl who can't eat enough on weekdays, how can she have this strength? Her younger brother eats for nothing and is fat, and he is the strongest among the children of the same age in Peach Blossom Village, and Chunhua has already exerted all his strength in holding it.

That day, as usual, she went out to play with her younger brother in her arms, and when she walked out of the house, the younger brother in her arms struggled and cried to find her grandmother, she carefully guarded and patiently told him that her grandmother was not free now.

But how can a spoiled child care about this? When the temper came, he struggled to get off the ground, regardless of whether he could walk. Chunhua was even more anxious, she was almost broken free by him several times, and her strength gradually ran out, so she couldn't hold it anymore, so she hurriedly coaxed while looking for a place to sit down.

Before she could find a place to sit down, her brother suddenly struggled violently, she was unstable, and even the two of them fell to the ground hard, although she protected him hard at the moment of falling, he was still injured, and a swollen bag immediately appeared on his forehead, and the pain and fear made him cry.

This scene happened to be seen by her stepmother, who had just come back from playing at someone else's house, and her stepmother immediately went up and slapped her a few times, making her head buzz, and she came home in a daze, and was beaten by her own father.

Since then, beatings have become commonplace, and the family often "forgets" to keep food for her. At the time of the Chinese New Year, she was covered in unbearable scars and pain, and she was afraid that others would know about this, so she hid silently, so Bai Mingxuan couldn't see her.

After saying this, Chunhua's mood was a little low, but there was no trace of sadness and dissatisfaction on her face, and her eyes were full of habit.

Looking at her thin and sallow cheeks, Bai Mingxuan only saw the word "numbness" in it, and her heart suddenly felt uncontrollable distress, and then hugged her.

"Spring Flower ......" Bai Mingxuan was distressed, her eyes were quickly blurred with tears, and her throat seemed to be blocked, unable to speak.

Chunhua was stunned for a moment, then patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Mingxuan, I'm fine." Although I was beaten a lot, I still had food, a place to sleep, and clothes to wear......"

Bai Mingxuan let go of her, looked into her eyes, and said with a firm expression: "Chunhua, I want to help you find a way." ”

"No, no, I'm fine now, really!" Chunhua's face was surprised, and she waved her hand again and again, lest she bring any trouble to Bai Mingxuan, "Besides, there is nothing to do now......"

One sentence disintegrated the firmness on Bai Mingxuan's face.

Yes, in this feudal rural clan society, what can two children come up with?

It's just an adult, as long as she is separated from the family, she is nothing, let alone a child? In the final analysis, these are their household affairs, and outsiders have no qualifications and positions to take care of them, at most they will secretly accuse a few words, and more will be gone.

Bai Mingxuan opened her mouth weakly, wanting to comfort her, but she couldn't speak.

Chunhua laughed, smiling brightly, "Mingxuan, I know you care about me, I don't want you to worry so I won't tell you." Actually, I'm really good, I have food and shelter. I thought about it, when I grew up, I would marry farther away and not associate with them. ”

"I'll be fine when I'm older."

Is it good to really grow up? Bai Mingxuan's eyes flashed hesitation, but she only nodded, and echoed with a smile: "Well, it's good to grow up." ”

After talking to Chunhua, Bai Mingxuan was depressed in her heart, wanting to do something, but she was surrounded by an invisible and deep sense of powerlessness.
