Pei Nian held a stick of ice cream in his mouth and climbed directly from the wall into No. 106 Wangjiacun.
"I was so exhausted. Those little brats were so hard to coax. I bought them all the snacks we agreed to buy. In the end, everyone even blackmailed me into Ultraman." He sighed, "I have this problem. I brought five hundred yuan in cash and gave it all to the shop owner."
When Zhu Mengyuan saw him, she first reflexively hid behind Chu Yao, and then timidly stuck out half of her head.
"Is Ultraman so expensive now?" Chu Yao blinked. Didn't she remember that these small toys cost tens of dollars each?
"It's not a matter of whether Ultraman is expensive or not, it's that they usually have debts at the small shops and let me, the scapegoat, pay them back." Pei Nian said angrily.
He raised the plastic bag in his hand and said, "I snatched these two from the jaws of a tiger. Eat them."
Chu Yao first picked a chocolate one and handed it to Zhu Mengyuan. Zhu Mengyuan hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.
"Is this the little girl?" Pei Nian handed her the ice cream, "Little girl, each person can only eat one ice cream a day. If you eat too much, you will have diarrhea. Can you help your brothers and sisters share the burden?"
Zhu Mengyuan vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she had not yet realized the dangers of society and did not know that some people could turn black into white just by talking.
So, she took the ice cream and carefully tore open the plastic bag.
Pei Nian ruffled her hair and said, "That's right. When I was a kid, I could eat three big buckets of ice cream in a row."
"Did you have diarrhea later?" Chu Yao asked with a smile.
"People's physiques are different. Of course I don't have diarrhea!" Pei Nian touched his nose guiltily.
After eating the ice cream, Zhu Mengyuan said in a soft voice: "Thank you."
She pointed to her arm, "Just now, it was cool here. My aunt used to know it, and it didn't hurt anymore when it was cool."
"Aunt?" Pei Nian asked, "What does the aunt you are talking about look like? Does she wear black clothes, have her hair tied up, and is a little shorter than this sister?"
Zhu Mengyuan shook her head blankly and said, "No, my aunt's hair is down and she is wearing brown clothes. She is very tall, even taller than my brother."
Pei Nian's chin almost dropped to the ground. He was almost 1.9 meters tall. His aunt, who was taller than him, was not 2 meters tall.
Could it be some kind of giant aunt?
After a moment of silence, Pei Nian said, "What Xiao Mengyuan said should be imaginary friends."
Imaginary friends refer to preschool children who will imagine a non-existent friend and talk and play with her.
This is a normal phenomenon, and it makes sense that Zhu Mengyuan still has imaginary friends at the age of eight because she has never gone to school and lacks social interaction.
"Do you remember an aunt named Zhang who often played with you?" Pei Nian said cautiously, "She has a red rose brooch on her chest."
Zhu Mengyuan bit her lower lip, but she still couldn't control her sadness, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Remember," she said tremblingly.
Chu Yao took out a tissue, wiped her tears, and asked: "What does Aunt Zhang usually do with you? What did you eat when you lived with her?"
"The amusement park... there are also bookstores, naughty castles, and bicycle rides..." Zhu Mengyuan whimpered, "I can... I can cook for me, and take me to eat KFC, Pizza Hut, and cherries and strawberries. ,cake……"
In an instant, Chu Yao saw Zhang Tianen holding Xiao Mengyuan's hand, and the two were talking and laughing.
She took Xiao Mengyuan to a place she had never been before. It was the first time Xiao Mengyuan knew what the carousel in the picture book was, the first time she knew that cakes could be made sweet but not greasy, and the first time someone taught her how to make them. She reads and writes, makes paper cranes and paper boats, swims, and flies kites...
She never went to school for a day until she was eight years old. She stayed at home every day and was illiterate. She always had low self-esteem.
Just in time, someone appears. She is like Prozac to Xiao Mengyuan, who can take away all her worries and sorrows.
Zhang Tianen's salary is not high, but when Xiao Mengyuan saw the fruit shop on the roadside with longing eyes, she would still buy cherries worth a hundred yuan a pound without hesitation.
For a frugal person like her, who would even save twenty yuan on face cream, how could she not know that there are cheaper cherries?
However, for Xiao Mengyuan, what she wanted was the cherry she saw at that moment.
What Zhang Tianen wanted was a smile on Xiao Mengyuan's face.
She is not the mother who gave her genes, nor is she the child born from her belly.
Who can decide that two people who are not related by blood cannot become family members?
A child's memory cannot lie. Neither Chu Yao nor Pei Nian had ever met Zhang Tianen, but after comparing with Wang Xueping, they could judge.
Zhang Tianen would never be the person who wanted to abduct or abuse Xiao Mengyuan.
On the contrary, she always wanted to save Xiao Mengyuan from hell.
However, a good person like her was sentenced as a criminal. Wang Xueping's prosecution did not affect her. Instead, a post took away her life.
What’s even more ridiculous is that the post was full of loopholes and was able to pass the administrator’s review.
Seeing Xiao Mengyuan's body softening and about to fall backwards, Chu Yao immediately reached out to support her.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Pei Nian was also startled. He was fine just now, why did he suddenly faint?
Chu Yao checked her pulse and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm just too tired."
I don't know how much housework Xiao Mengyuan has to do every day. Now that the weather is so hot and she is emotionally excited because of thinking about Zhang Tianen, her body can no longer support it.
However, even in her dream, Xiao Mengyuan was still murmuring softly.
Pei Nian turned her ear and listened carefully. What she read was two words.
"Mother."
He couldn't help but clenched his fists and said angrily: "Is this what he calls justice? If this can also be called justice, then there is no justice in the world! Does he think he is a hero who saves the world? Wait until he is caught He, I must let him see with his own eyes what he did to an innocent child!"
After saying that, the hairs on Pei Nian's back suddenly stood up as if someone had poured a large bucket of ice cubes on him.
"Bind!"
Chu Yao played a talisman and fixed the thing behind him in place.
He slowly turned around and finally saw the "giant aunt" that Xiao Mengyuan said was taller than him.
