"This is Mrs. Zhang's granddaughter. Mingzhu is also a pitiful child." Aunt Song had already guessed some of the reasons. What Mrs. Zhang did was really unnatural.

There were still vegetables cooking in the kitchen, and the two of them watched it for a while and then went back to cooking.

Zhang Mingzhu was coaxed by Jiang Tuge, and after a long time she said timidly, "Aunt, I...I'm fine."

Jiang Tuge was not a fool. The look of this child from head to toe told her that Granny Zhang had beaten her.

She sighed and pulled Zhang Mingzhu towards her yard, "Mingzhu, don't be afraid. My aunt is here today, just tell me if you need anything."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingzhu lowered her eyes and kept picking at the corners of her clothes with her two little hands, "Aunt, I'm really fine. I... I just fell down."

Hearing this, Jiang Tuge could only shake his head helplessly. The abuse this child received on a daily basis was beyond what she could endure at her age, so her temperament became cowardly.

Si Shuo and Si Jin stood aside and watched, looking at this younger sister, not knowing how to comfort her.

Jiang Tuge tightened his eyes. Since Zhang Mingzhu didn't dare to tell him directly, he had to find another way, "Mingzhu, have you eaten?"

"Grandma Song and Aunt Yan Shu are also here today. Can you stay at my house for dinner?"

Zhang Mingzhu raised her eyelids, and the smell of meat was indeed filling the air. Growing up, she had eaten only a handful of meat. Even if her grandparents had meat, they would not give it to her.

Zhang Mingzhu wanted to nod, but when she thought of her grandma's eyes at home, she quickly shook her head, "Aunt, I'm not hungry. I... I'd better go home!"

"I've been out for a long time. Grandma will be anxious if she can't find me."

After that, Zhang Mingzhu turned around and left Si's house.

Jiang Tuge stepped forward quickly, knelt down and looked into her eyes, and said, "Mingzhu, do you miss your father and mother?"

"Yeah, I think so!" Zhang Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded.

Her parents would only come back for a while during the Chinese New Year, but they would leave after just one look. It's not like she never cried and wanted to leave with her parents, but every time she got a vicious beating from her grandma.

After that, she didn't dare to mention it again. In her memory, the appearance of her father and mother was already very blurry.

Jiang Tuge looked at the tears in the corners of Zhang Mingzhu's eyes and said softly, "Mingzhu, last time I saw your mother. She even asked me for news about you. You have to believe that no mother doesn't love her child. "

Hearing this, a flash of surprise flashed across Zhang Mingzhu's face. Although she is young, her grandma has often told her over the years that her parents don't want her anymore.

She looked at Jiang Tuge and asked cautiously, "Auntie, are you telling the truth? Mother...did she really ask me?"

"Of course it's true!" Jiang Tuge comforted Zhang Mingzhu, reaching out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Your mother is a gentle person, but she is not feeling well and is recovering."

"You trust aunt, she will come back to you soon."

Zhang Mingzhu nodded, with a sweet smile on his face, "Yes, I know. My mother and father will be back for a while during the Chinese New Year. I will grow up well and wait for my mother."

Jiang Tuge rubbed her head and said, "It won't be until the Chinese New Year. I believe Auntie will be back soon. However, you need to do Auntie a favor. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

Zhang Mingzhu quickly replied, "I am willing, aunt, I am." "Really? Mingzhu, you have to think about it. This method will allow you to return to your parents, but you will inevitably have to endure some hardships."

"How about you think about it carefully?" Jiang Tuge tightened his eyes. If this method was used, Zhang Mingzhu would naturally be wronged.

Zhang Mingzhu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but soon she looked at Jiang Tuge like a young adult, "Auntie, I'm not afraid."

"Okay!" Jiang Tuge nodded, then held Zhang Mingzhu in his arms and whispered.

Si Jin looked very curious. He wanted to know what his mother said to Zhang Mingzhu. With a roll of his eyes, he was ready to step forward.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Si Shuo as soon as he took a step, "Si Jin, it's just a little secret between mother and Mingzhu. You can't go and eavesdrop."

Si Jin shook his head and insisted on going forward to listen, "No, I want to listen."

Just when the two brothers were at loggerheads, Aunt Song and Yan Shu came out with the dishes. They looked at the two children and said with a smile, "Si Jin, your brother is right. We are men. It's a little secret of the girl's family." Don’t eavesdrop.”

"Come on, Grandma Song and your Aunt Yan have made a lot of delicious food. Come and have a taste, you two greedy cats."

Hearing this, Si Jin's eyes were quickly attracted by the plates of dishes. He pulled Si Shuo and ran towards the food. As for the little secret between Zhang Mingzhu and his mother, he had already forgotten about it.

Si Jin stood at the table and looked at it for a long time, and then said, "Grandma Song, the food you cook is so delicious! Although it is not as good as my father's, it is much better than my mother's."

Hearing this, Aunt Song's face flashed with embarrassment. After all, he is a child, so he has no worries about what he says.

Jiang Tuge turned to look at Si Jin and said, "Si Jin, you can't be so rude. Grandma Song has already worked hard to cook, and we have to thank you. You are so picky, and we don't know what to do." Anyway."

Si Jin pouted after listening to Jiang Tuge's words, "Mom, this dish is really not as good as daddy. I didn't tell lies, I told the truth."

Jiang Tuge sighed, this child was too down-to-earth. She let go of Zhang Mingzhu and walked towards Si Jin. She must remember it today.

Aunt Song saw that Jiang Tuge's expression was wrong, so she quickly protected Si Jin behind her and said, "Okay Tuge, what the child said is also true."

"It would be wrong to learn to lie at such a young age."

Hearing this, Jiang Tuge smiled awkwardly, "Auntie, I'm so sorry. Fortunately, you don't have the same experience as him, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see you."

Aunt Song waved her hand, "What are you talking about? How old is he and how old I am. Don't worry, Auntie knows who you are."

Soon, this incident was forgotten by everyone. Aunt Song invited everyone to sit down and eat, and Zhang Mingzhu also sat down at Jiang Tuge's insistence.

Zhang Mingzhu ate this meal very slowly. She just picked up a few pieces of vegetables. After all, meat was not something she could eat.

Jiang Tuge noticed something was wrong with her and put a few pieces of meat into Zhang Mingzhu's bowl. Looking at the meat in the bowl, Zhang Mingzhu raised her head and looked at Jiang Tuge, stunned, "Aunt, I..."

"It's okay, just eat it. But you have to chew it slowly, otherwise it will be bad for your stomach." Jiang Tuge smiled softly, and her smile was like a ray of light to Zhang Mingzhu.
