C15 Broken Heart

"Father, I want mother! Open door... "Open the door …" Xiao Xiao Ni was really persistent and was not afraid of her father's threats at all. She knocked on the door even louder.

"This child has been spoiled by her. If she doesn't listen, we'll beat her!" Lee Huazhen, the mother-in-law, had already gotten up from the ground and stood not far from the father and daughter pair, watching them coldly.

She had called her daughter-in-law today, yet she had the audacity to hang up on her and refused to hand over the raincoat to her sister-in-law. The daughter-in-law who had always been as easy to deal with as dough had changed her appearance and dared to challenge her authority.

This time, she was going to urge her son to take care of her and see if she dared to disobey her next time.

"Grandmother is a scoundrel! Woo … Woo … "Scoundrel!"

Even though Xiao Xiaoyi was only six years old, she understood that her mother was beaten up by her father and driven out of the family.

She stopped patting the door and looked back at her grandmother, her small eyes filled with anger and resentment.

"You child, you …" Lee Huazhen was so angry that she trembled while pointing a finger at her granddaughter.

Seeing that his mom was angry, Xiao Shengchun pulled his daughter up and pushed her against the door. Then, he smacked her butt with his big hands.

"Wah …" "Ah …

"Let's see if you still dare to spout nonsense!"

Xiao Xiao Ni was both angry and pained, but she refused to admit defeat.

"I didn't... Nonsense! No... "Nonsense …"

"Shengchun!" Shengchun! Nini! "Nini!"

Xiao Shengchun's palm didn't seem to land on Nini's butt, but on Hee Xiaochu's chest.

Hearing her daughter crying inside, she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. All she could do was call out to her and continue knocking on the door.

Lee Huazhen was relieved when she saw one of them crying inside while the other one was shouting outside.

"Open the door, you're not allowed to hit her!"

"Scram!" You're the one who taught the child how to talk back to his granny. Scram! "

Xiao Shengchun shouted towards the door, then turned around to deal with his daughter.

"Go to my room and sleep!"

Then, ignoring his daughter's cries, he picked her up and dragged her back into the room, then closed the door and held it there.

"Mommy! Mom! "Mom!"

Over and over again, Xiao Xiaoyi's calls carried faintly into Hee Xiaochu's ears. As if her heart had been wrung, she kept knocking on the door, calling her husband and sometimes her daughter.

"Sleep!" Father Xiao, who had been silent all this time, said two words in a low voice before returning to his room. Lee Huazhen also followed him.

No matter how much Hee Xiaochu shouted and how much she patted, the people inside just ignored her.

As the night wore on and she was afraid of making a racket that might upset her neighbors, she stopped.

It was still raining outside and she had nowhere to go. Even if she had a place to go, she was worried that her daughter wouldn't dare to leave.

She slumped against the door, waiting for Xiao Shengchun to let her in to coax her daughter.

However, Xiao Shengchun went back to his room and slept soundly on his bed.

After an unknown period of time, Xiao Xiao Ni heard that everyone had fallen asleep and stealthily slipped out of her room to the door.

"Mom!" she whispered.

"Mom, are you there?"

"Here!" "Yes!" She was both excited and relieved to hear her daughter's voice.

"Darling, go back to your room and sleep. Mom will stay here with you. I'll send you to school tomorrow."

"Mom, if you don't tell me a story, Nini won't be able to sleep."

Nini's small face fell, thinking that she wouldn't be able to see her mother and was about to cry again.

"Mom will tell you a story and you can go to sleep, okay?"

Her heart was aching. She secretly wiped away her tears as she gently comforted her daughter.

"Alright!"

Nini leaned against the door, trying to put her ear close to the door to listen to her mother's story.

Hee Xiaochu searched her mind for a story that would make Nini happy. She hoped that Nini could distract her attention and stop feeling sad over this matter.

"Once upon a time, there was a big family …"
