The last time Qin Xiaoxiao and Hu Qingqing met was on Mrs. Miao's birthday in early March.

At that time, Hu Qingqing was as thin as she is now, but she was happy. She enthusiastically shared with Qin Xiaoxiao the joy of having a younger brother or younger sister. She also said that her grandparents and father did not beat and scold her at will like before. She said that she

I really like the baby in my mother’s belly and will try my best to be a good sister.

Under the influence of Hu Qingqing, Qin Xiaoxiao, who originally had no feelings for her little aunt's belly, also has a little more hope for the unborn baby. She hopes that this little guy can bring more to her little cousin after he comes to this world.

of happiness.

Although everything was fine, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't figure out why her little cousin was beaten like this and had to lie on the bed to talk to her. She held her little cousin's hand tightly, and unexpectedly found that her little cousin's hand was also injured.

"Sister Qingqing, what's going on?"

Regardless of Hu Qingqing's stop, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly opened the clothes covering her body, and all the hideous and terrifying scars came into view. An indescribable and unfamiliar emotion filled her heart, making her whole body feel like it was going to explode.

Same: "Sister Qingqing, were your grandparents the one who beat you?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's words touched the fear deep in Hu Qingqing's heart. Her dry eyes shed tears again, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her incoherent words revealed deep despair: "... wu wu, they

Beat me, hit me with a bamboo stick, it hurts... I begged them, begged grandpa, begged grandma, begged dad... They all hit me, they all hit me, grandpa's bamboo stick broke, and grandma

They pinched my face with their hands and slapped my mouth with their shoe soles, which made me bleed. There was a lot of blood. Oooh, it hurts so much..."

Hu Qingqing's crying made Mrs. Miao Lin Qiuniang and others shed tears again. Qin Guihua even collapsed on the ground and her tears never stopped: "Qingqing, it's my mother who is useless. It's my mother who didn't protect you. Mother."

I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you..."

These words of self-blame were like a needle pricking Qin Xiaoxiao's heart.

When she was three years old, she was loved and pampered by her whole family. It could be said that she had never felt any grievance, and no one would make her feel angry. She didn't know what this emotion was. She only knew that she felt very uncomfortable.

It was like a fire, as if it would burst out at any time and destroy everything, destroying everyone who had hurt the little cousin.

The anger in her heart could not be released. For a moment, she forgot that she was a niece and a junior. Stimulated by her little cousin's injuries, she cried and asked Qin Guihua: "Little aunt, you are sister Qingqing's mother, you

Why can't you protect her?"

Qin Guihua was already very sad, and her niece's questioning made her even more embarrassed: "Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, it's my aunt's fault. It's all my aunt's fault..."

Qin Xiaoxiao became even more angry, her chest heaved violently, and her voice was so sharp for the first time: "It was Sister Qingqing who was beaten, it was Sister Qingqing who was hurt, it was Sister Qingqing who you did not protect, you should tell Sister Qingqing

'Sorry', not with me!"

"Xiaoxiao, why are you talking to your little aunt? Quickly apologize to my little aunt!" Lin Qiuniang grabbed her daughter and scolded her in a low voice.

Qin Xiaoxiao cried with tears all over her face and her little face collapsed tightly. She didn't feel that she was at fault and refused to apologize to Qin Guihua.

Lin Qiuniang had a headache, so she had to apologize to her sister-in-law on behalf of her daughter: "Osmanthus, I didn't teach Hao Xiaoxiao, don't be angry if she said such things."

Qin Guihua had a miserable look on her face: "Sister-in-law, Xiaoxiao is right, I am too useless and did not protect Qingqing..."

Lin Qiuniang was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer the question.

To be honest, she also felt that her sister-in-law was too weak. If she met an evil father-in-law and mother-in-law who dared to bully her daughter, she would not let her daughter receive even a finger even if she risked her life.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at her little aunt who could only cry. She was very disappointed with her and felt even more sorry for her little cousin.

Niuniu next door was also beaten by her grandparents. Niuniu's mother dared to fight with her grandparents to protect Niuniu from being bullied by her grandparents. Why can't the little aunt?

Many people in the village say that Niu Niu's mother is bad and unfilial to her elders. Is it because the little aunt is also afraid of being said bad, so she doesn't dare to help cousin Qingqing fight with them? The little aunt is afraid of this and that, so what should sister Qingqing do? She

He will be beaten to death by those two bad guys!

No, she can't let Sister Qingqing be beaten to death by the big bad guy, she has to protect Sister Qingqing!

Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly had an idea and stretched out her little hand to wipe Hu Qingqing's tears: "Sister Qingqing, don't cry. Those two bad guys won't dare to hit you again in the future."

"Really, really?" Hu Qingqing thought about beating her grandparents to death, and deep fear flashed in her eyes.

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded heavily, clenching her fists tightly: "Don't dare, as long as they dare to hit you, they will also be beaten!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Mrs. Miao, Mrs. Lin Qiu, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law changed. They looked at each other and wondered whether they should let their granddaughter (daughter) continue talking.

Qin Xiaoxiao said nothing more. She lay on the bed and carefully breathed on Hu Qingqing's injured area: "Sister Qingqing, does it hurt? Let me breathe on you!"

"It doesn't hurt. Sister Xiaoxiao is so awesome!" There was no part of Hu Qingqing's body that didn't hurt, but when she looked at her little cousin who puffed up her cheeks and gave her a hug, she felt it didn't hurt that much anymore.

Qin Xiaoxiao believed it to be true, and purred her little cousin harder and harder. After a while, her cheeks hurt, and even her head became dizzy.

I don't know if it was because of Qin Xiaoxiao's presence. Hu Qingqing, who was originally frightened and didn't even dare to blink her eyes, gradually relaxed under Qin Xiaoxiao's breathing, and soon became sleepy.

Qin Xiaoxiao discovered it and skillfully coaxed Hu Qingqing to sleep just like he coaxed Sanbao.

But in her sleep, Hu Qingqing still held on to Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, as if it was the only hope to rescue her from the quagmire, so that even if she fell asleep, she would not dare to let go easily.

Qin Xiaoxiao still had "big things" to do, and she couldn't stay in the room to sleep with Hu Qingqing. So when Hu Qingqing was completely asleep, she quietly took back her hand and ran to the yard with full of anger.

Find Mr. Qin and the others.

Mr. Qin and others already know the cause and effect of the matter, and they are no less angry with the Hu family and feel sorry for Hu Qingqing than Qin Xiaoxiao.

But when he heard Qin Xiaoxiao's plea, Mr. Qin frowned fiercely and did not respond to her for the first time: "Xiaoxiao, it's not that grandpa doesn't love your cousin, it's that we have no reason to go to the Hu family to beat someone.

"

Qin Xiaoxiao said anxiously: "Why? Why doesn't it make sense? It's obviously the two bad guys who are wrong, why can't you beat them? As long as you scare them, they won't dare to beat Sister Qingqing again."

Qin Xiaoxiao thought very simply. Someone bullied Er Bao before. When Dabao found out, he pushed that person to the ground and beat him severely. After the man was beaten, he never dared to look for Er Bao again.

Trouble, every time I see Dabao, he runs faster than a rabbit.

So in Qin Xiaoxiao's view, as long as more powerful people defeat the two bad guys of the Hu family, they will never dare to beat her sister Qingqing again. And in her heart, no one is better than her grandfather, father and

The second uncle is even more powerful, and they are the only ones she can turn to.

But she never expected that her grandfather, who had always been responsive to her requests, would actually refuse to stand up for her little cousin. This made her disappointed and puzzled, and she felt very sad.

Looking at his little granddaughter who was in tears, Mr. Qin felt very uncomfortable.

He sighed, pulled his little granddaughter to him, and explained patiently: "Xiaoxiao, grandpa knows that you and Qingqing are in a relationship and wants to stand up for her. But Qingqing's surname is Hu, and the person who hit her is also surnamed Hu. Our surname is Qin.

It’s unreasonable for outsiders to interfere in the Hu family’s household affairs!”

The whole village of Hujia Village has the surname Hu, and they worship one ancestor. Once the Qin family comes to the door, it will be a provocation not only to the Hu family, but also to the Hu clan. If they really face off against the entire Hu clan, they have no chance of winning.

.

If their family suffers from this, the Qin family in Qingshan Village will definitely not stand idly by, and there may be a big melee between Qingshan Village and Hu Village. If anything happens then, it will be the fault of the Qin family.

You must know that during drought years, two families in different villages fighting for a scoop of water can intensify conflicts between the two villages and cause life-threatening incidents.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at his grandfather blankly, not quite understanding the complicated relationship.

Just when Mr. Qin thought it would be difficult to explain to his little granddaughter, she suddenly burst into tears and was out of breath: "What should we do? Sister Qingqing is in so much pain. The bad guy will beat her to death."

Yes, ow ow ow——"

She had originally thought that if grandpa and the others were like her little aunt, afraid that others would say they were bad and unwilling to go, she would take Dahuang and Bieme there. Dahuang and Bieme were also very powerful, and they would definitely be able to help Sister Qingqing fight back.

She is not afraid of others saying she is bad, and Dahuang and Meie are not afraid if they cannot understand people's words!

But now grandpa tells her that she can't go to Hu's house to fight the big bad guys, because they are outsiders, and the big bad guys are the relatives of Sister Qingqing, and outsiders can't control them.

What should Sister Qingqing do? Is there no one who can help Sister Qingqing? She doesn’t want Sister Qingqing to be beaten to death by the bad guy!

Qin Xiaoxiao's crying almost made several grown men cry, and they almost agreed to go to Hu's house to seek justice for Hu Qingqing.

In the end, Mr. Qin comforted her: "Qingqing's injuries are severe and she needs to rest for a while before she can recover. Grandpa will leave her at home. This way, she won't be afraid of her grandparents beating her again."

Hu Qingqing does not deserve the attention of the Hu family. The Hu family will not care at all whether she returns to the Hu family. If Hu Qingqing is left behind, the Hu family will only be happy to save food rations and will not forcefully go to the Qin family to take Hu Qingqing away, so Mr. Qin

Only then did we make this decision.

Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't think of a better way. After hearing what his grandfather said, he wiped his tears and said eagerly: "Then let Sister Qingqing live here forever. When Sister Qingqing grows up, those two bad guys will beat her.

She can escape on her own."

The granddaughter's innocence made Mr. Qin couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he nodded and agreed: "Okay, as long as Qingqing doesn't want to go back to the Hu family, she will always live in our house."

Qin Xiaoxiao finally had a smile on her face, but she couldn't let the big bad guy get punished. She was still sad in her heart, secretly thinking about how to avenge her little cousin!

After a boring lunch, Qin Guihua will go back to Hu's house.

Originally, she wanted to take Hu Qingqing away with her, but Mr. Qin refused. In front of everyone, he said that he would leave Hu Qingqing at home to recuperate, and that he would send her back when she wanted to return to the Hu family.

If it was Mr. Qin's decision alone, Qin Chuan and Zhao Cao'er would still murmur a few words, but with Qin Xiaoxiao's strong support, they no longer had any objections. They were optimistic and wanted to have one more person to eat, so they treated it as one more person.

Got to work.

"Dad, I..." Qin Guihua was moved and felt guilty, holding her waist and trying to kneel down to Mr. Qin.

She knew very well that her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and even her husband disliked their mother and daughter. Whenever they were angry outside, they would always find excuses to teach them a lesson. That was all she could do. She was pregnant at the moment and they did not dare to do what they did before.

It was too much, but her daughter had to bear her share of the sin.

On the way to her parents' house in the morning, Qin Guihua had thought about leaving Hu Qingqing at Qin's house, but she was embarrassed to say it. Now that her parents' house had taken the initiative to bring it up, she didn't know what to say other than being grateful.

"Get up." Mr. Qin did not let Qin Guihua kneel down, but his face was very ugly: "You have to understand that in the Hu family, Qingqing and the child in your belly can only be protected by your mother. If you can't stand up

, what Qingqing suffered today will not be the last time."

Qin Guihua said eagerly: "No, no, this baby will definitely be a boy. For the sake of this child, they will never be like this again."

Mr. Qin lowered his eyelids. He couldn't say he was disappointed or something else: "You have to remember that it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. Can you guarantee that the baby in your belly will definitely be a boy?"
