Grandma Qin felt deeply sorry for her granddaughter.
Her mother abandoned her when she was a child, her father remarried, so she had to live with her elderly grandparents.
She thought that her granddaughter lived a good life here, but it turned out that it was all on the surface!
Only today, did she find out that this poor little girl had been bullied so badly.
“Cui Lan, what on earth have you done to my little Qin Xue? It’s wrong for you, as an adult, to bully her like this,” Grandma Qin was really angry! Usually, when their daughter Qiuqiu comes over to play with Qin Xue.
They always bring out the best food and toys for her!
But now, they not only hit Qin Xue, but also cruelly hurt her feelings!
What wrong did this little one do to deserve such treatment?
“Auntie, if not for Qin Xue biting my daughter Qiuqiu, I wouldn’t have interfered!
I couldn’t just stand by and watch her keep biting, could I?”
Fat Auntie was fond of Qin Xue’s father and often tried to please Grandma Qin.
But since they’re both already married with no hope for the future; Why does she still have to please them? It’s totally impossible.
“A little squabbling among the kids is normal. It is a common thing.
But for you, an adult, to meddle in it, that’s not right, is it?” said Grandma Qin, holding Qin Xue’s hand.
“What’s wrong with that? Even though she’s a child,
if she is biting my Qiuqiu, do you expect me, as a parent, to just stand by and watch?
Should I let her continue to bite?” said Fat Auntie, sounding neither just nor assertive.
Seeing her grandma come, Qin Xue cried even harder
“Grandma, it hurts,” Qin Xue erupted in sobs.
“Where does it hurt, Qin Xue? Show it to Grandma,” Grandma Qin wanted to check Qin Xue’s injuries.
Considering that they were outside, and Qin Xue, though still a child, was now over five years old, so she gradually needed to learn about personal privacy.
“Cui Lan, you better cross your fingers hoping that my Qin Xue is alright.
Otherwise, don’t blame this old lady for not giving you face.” Grandma Qin just wanted to check Qin Xue’s injuries now, and see how badly she was hurt. Grandma Qin quickly led Qin Xue home.
They left behind a crowd of people looking at each other.
“Cui Lan went too far this time!” said someone in the crowd.
“Yes, we should better watch our own children from now on, so they don’t get mistreated. What if we can’t make our case clear when it happens?” The others responded in echoes.
As they walked away arguing, Fat Auntie and Jia Qiu were left standing there, staring at each other.
“Qin Xue, come, show grandma where you’re hurt,” said Grandma Qin after she brought Qin Xue home and directly entered the bedroom.
“Grandma, many parts of my body hurt.” Qin Xue rolled up her sleeve to reveal her arm, purple and black in places.
Then she touched her hair and pointed to her head, saying, “Grandma, it hurts here too.” This broke Grandma Qin’s heart!
Damn this Cui Lan, for being so rough with a child just over five years old, isn’t she afraid of retribution?
“Be a good girl, Qin Xue. Stay here and wait. Grandma will go get some ointment for you,” cooed Grandma Qin soothingly.
“Okay, Grandma. I got it!” The sensible little Qin Xue nodded obediently and waited for her grandma.
After Grandma Qin had applied medication to all the wounds, Qin Xue, exhausted from crying, had fallen asleep.
Grandma Qin carried Qin Xue to the bed and gently stroked her face, saying
“Qin Xue, there are people who love you. Your grandpa and grandma love you. Sleep well darling.”
After tucking Qin Xue in, Grandma Qin headed to the kitchen to make Qin Xue i s favorite peach pastries.
After preparing the pastries, she wanted to check if Qin Xue had awoken?
Upon entering the bedroom, she found that the little Qin Xue lying on the bed had a very unusual complexion.
She touched her forehead and found out that she was running a fever..
