It was also at this time that many people in the compound remembered why the little brother and sister always wore long sleeves and long pants every summer.
Coincidentally, the little girl died in the summer. When the police brought the body out, the white cloth covering the little girl was blown off by a gust of wind. The onlookers were not surprised to see the little girl's arms and legs exposed to the air. The legs were covered with bruises and bruises.
The old and the new are intertwined, making it invisible in people's eyes.
For a moment, everyone felt sad for the death of the little girl.
The little girl was abused and beaten to death by her stepmother for a long time. But just because the stepmother knew how to behave in front of others, the neighbors and people in the compound did not notice anything strange about her before the incident.
It goes to show that one knows people but not their hearts. If the brother who was one year older than the little girl hadn't sneaked out of the nearby police station in the compound, what might have happened next.
The stepmother was arrested by the police. However, the little girl’s lost life could never be recovered.
Ten years have passed since this incident. Even though the family has moved out of the compound, the people in the compound still can't help but chew their tongues when they are free.
Especially after hearing that Wen Siyuan got divorced and married a new man, and that Professor Luo, a widower, was about to get married for the second time.
Events from years ago are increasingly talked about by people.
The adults said it unintentionally, just expressing emotion, but what do the children know?
They listened to something here and there, and then talked to each other. It was not surprising that some of it reached the ears of sisters Wen Yue and Xiao Mingrui.
Jiang Li didn't have time to deal with the little girl Wen Yue at the moment. She picked up the cute baby Weiwei in one hand and held the milk dumpling Hanhan in the other. With a smile on her face and full of affinity, she said to the children who were looking at her: "My Weiwei This will be a bit unhappy, I’ll take her home first, and she’ll come play with you later!”
Some sensible children waved their little hands directly: "Aunt Fairy, please take Weiwei home, we are fine!"
"Goodbye Fairy Auntie!"
"Goodbye, Weiwei's mother!"
…
When Jiang Li saw this, the smile between her brows and eyes became gentler, and she curved her lips: "Goodbye, kids." Her eyes moved to Xiao Mingrui: "Ruirui, take Hanhan's other hand, let's go home! "
After Jiang Li and his children entered the courtyard, under the old banyan tree, the little boy of about seven or eight years old who was the first to talk to Jiang Li glared at Wen Yue and said:
"Yueyue, why do you have to emphasize in front of sister Weiwei that her mother is your stepmother? This is wrong of you. Weiwei likes her mother very much, and Weiwei is right. Her mother is very beautiful, like someone from heaven. Just like a fairy girl.”
"Wenyue, you should apologize to Weiwei!"
This was said by another boy, who looked to be six or seven years old.
"My sister was right, why did she apologize?"
Five-year-old Wenyi helps her sister Wenyue speak.
"Wenyi, I think you and your sister are jealous. You are jealous that Weiwei's mother is better than the mother in your family. That's why you said that in front of Weiwei."
"Be careful!"
"That's right, Wenyue and Wenyi, you are all petty!"
Wenyi: "We are not! That woman in our family is not our mother, she is a stepmother, a bad woman!"
Miss Wenyi's sister, Wenyue, was one year old. Naturally, like her elder sister, she knew that they had a biological mother. She knew that their biological mother had left them, and then their father married a bad woman into the family to be their sisters' stepmother.
Under the influence of her elder sister Wenyue, Wenyi also disliked the stepmother at home.
