"This family is so shameless. These eggs of mine were reserved for my son's health, but she stole them. Since her parents said they would give me this girl as compensation, she is mine. Is it wrong for me to take her away? Your Cheng An stopped me from taking her away. Tell me, what do you mean by the Gu family?"

Shen Lianxin looked at Gu Chengan. Gu Chengan pursed his lips, looked at his mother, lowered his head, then raised his head again, and then his eyes became firm.

"Mom, Xiaohui didn't steal anything. I gave the eggs to Xiaohui. I trust her. Xiaohui's parents don't want her anymore. Aunt Zhao wants to take Xiaohui to the city to sell her. Mom, please help Xiaohui."

After saying that, Gu Chengan knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow to Shen Lianxin.

Shen Lianxin pulled him up and glanced at the little girl behind her, who was timid and crying softly.

Gu Chengan must value Xiaohui very much in his heart. He has stood up for her several times and is willing to share what he has with her.

The relationship between childhood sweethearts is great.

Since Gu Chengan believes in her, Shen Lianxin is also willing to believe her.

"Isn't it a bit too serious to sell people just for a few eggs?" Shen Lianxin asked tentatively.

Aunt Zhao was unhappy when she heard this. "What do you mean by a few eggs? Those are four eggs. Food is so precious now, and eggs are so hard to come by. No one wants this money-losing commodity even if I give it away for free. I may not even be able to sell it for the money of four eggs if I take it to the city."

"I, I didn't steal the eggs. My eggs were given to me by Xiao An. They are not yours." The little girl raised her head and said stubbornly.

"You said you didn't steal it, so you didn't steal it? My eggs were lost, and when I went out, I saw you holding the eggs. Who else could it be but you? Your mother has admitted it, and you are still stubborn."

"She, she is not my mother." Xiaohui spoke in a low voice, but her voice was steady and powerful, as if she had suppressed a lot of emotions.

"How can she not be your mother? Your father married her, so she is your mother. A stepmother is also a mother." Aunt Zhao shouted loudly.

Shen Lianxin couldn't bear to watch it, "It's just four eggs, I'll compensate you. Why make things difficult for a little girl."

After hearing what Shen Lianxin said, "If you want to compensate, you have to compensate 5. I have wasted so much energy in making such a big fuss. I have to get an extra egg to make up for it."

Shen Lianxin didn't need an egg, but she was a little angry and laughed, "There are only four, take it or leave it, you can't take the person away today, if it doesn't work, we will report to the police, you said Xiaohui stole your eggs, what evidence do you have, you lost the eggs, and if you see someone holding them, they must be yours?"

Shen Lianxin snorted coldly, "I just came back from a long distance and don't want to cause any trouble. You either take the four eggs or I will drink and accompany you to the government office. However, I will sue you for slander and the crime of selling other people's children."

When Aunt Zhao heard this, she was startled. Rural people were used to quarreling in the village, and if they saw the official, it would be a big deal. Whether they were right or not, they would be beaten with 10 boards.

For a few eggs, I was beaten up again, and I might not win the lawsuit. I immediately felt guilty.

"What are you talking about? I didn't slander her. She just stole my eggs. Although I didn't catch her in the act, I saw her eating them. The government officials are so busy all day long. There's no need to see an official for such a small matter."

The people around also understood what was going on. After arguing for a long time, it turned out that they were accusing the little girl of stealing things without any evidence.

"Aunt Zhao, you haven't caught anyone stealing anything yet. I don't think it was Xiaohui who stole it."

"That's right. Everyone knows how honest Xiaohui is. How could she have the guts to steal something?"

"That's right, that's right. How much can a few eggs be worth? They even sold the little girl. The child is pitiful enough. It's really a sin."

When Aunt Zhao heard that the public was not in the right direction, her face turned green and red, and she quickly said, "I don't want the compensation, just four eggs, give them to me. Forget about this matter."

Shen Lianxin was a little tired and really didn't want to argue with her any more.

I bought two pounds of eggs from the space mall, put them in a backpack, then pretended to take out four eggs from the basket and handed them to Aunt Zhao.

"I just bought some eggs."

Aunt Zhao took the egg, snorted, turned around and left.

The crowd also dispersed.

Shen Lianxin took the children home, and Xiaohui followed.

After being away for half a month, I finally returned home. Although it was just a broken thatched house, there is no place like home, but my own doghouse is worse than any other.

Back to my own place, both my body and mind are relaxed.

Shen Lianxin first fetched some water to wash herself, then changed into a set of clean and refreshing clothes. She seemed to be alive again.

Several children stood motionless in the yard, watching Shen Lianxin finish washing up.

Shen Lianxin missed her rocking chair and snuggled in, feeling very comfortable. Then she discovered that there was a rocking chair and a few new stools in the yard.

I thought that Carpenter Li must have made the remaining stools.

Looking at the newly added little stool, which is exquisite and cute, I feel good.

I couldn't help but smile.

Seeing that his mother was in a good mood, Gu Chengan took a step forward and said, "Mom, I..."

Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows and felt sorry for the children who looked like they had done something wrong.

"Xiaozhen, come here."

When Gu Chengzhen heard her mother calling her, she immediately rushed over and said, "Mom, I miss you so much!" As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes.

Shen Lianxin wiped her tears and comforted her, "Don't cry, mother misses you too. Now that you are back, don't cry."

Seeing this scene, Gu Chengjing and Gu Chengxin also gathered around.

Shen Lianxin touched everyone's head one by one, and Gu Chengan also came over but didn't say anything.

Shen Lianxin pulled over the backpack and took out a box of snacks from it, "This is the snacks that mother brought for you. Wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Several children jumped for joy, and the momentary tense atmosphere turned into the joy of reunion after a long separation.

Everyone went to fetch water to wash their hands and prepare to eat, only Gu Chengan was still standing there.

Shen Lianxin was puzzled, "Xiao An, do you have something to say to mother?"

Gu Chengan said, "Mom, thank you for today. I, I won't cause trouble for you again in the future."

Gu Chengan felt that he had caused trouble for his mother again, and he also gave her four eggs as compensation. Eggs are very precious, and they were reluctant to eat even one in a year.

If he hadn't insisted on protecting Xiaohui, my mother wouldn't have to give four eggs as compensation.

Xiaohui also stepped forward and said, "Aunt, I, I didn't steal anything." She pursed her lips and crossed her hands.

I wanted to say thank you, but this is what I said instead.

"I know!" Shen Lianxin smiled gently.

Xiaohui looked up in surprise. Aunt Gu, do you believe her?

She said she knew, she didn't think she was a bad kid, she knew she didn't steal anything.
