In a village before, a child gave him food, but when the adults in his family found out, they scolded him as a liar and a bad child, and wouldn't let that little brother play with him.
They also said they would send him to the police station to hand him over to the police, and he ran away scared.
Is it going to be like this again now?
Can't he even live in that broken house anymore?
Little Liu Zi treated him well, and this sister also treated him well, but can't other people help but dislike him?
Perhaps they would give him a steamed bun now, but in the end, they would still dislike him and want him to leave.
Little Tree thought sadly, waiting for this family's final verdict on him.
Su Xiao Tian was thinking about how to help this pitiful child, not noticing Little Tree's emotional changes.
Meanwhile, Little Liu was also thinking about how to tell his uncle and aunt to let Little Liu live at home temporarily.
He had already thought that when his parents returned, he would let Little Liu live in their house.
The young child didn't know what a burden it was for adults to have an extra child in the family.
At this time, Shen Zi Zhen and a few others returned.
Seeing the three children, two big and two small, playing under the tree, especially seeing Little Tree, Shen Zi Zhen couldn't help but sigh.
This child is truly ill-fated.
Su Xiao Tian saw them return and stopped playing with Little Tree and Little Liu Zi, going to Shen Zi Zhen and the others to inquire about the situation.
Li Gui Hua, the mother and daughter-in-law busy in the kitchen, also came out.
Seeing the heavy expressions on the three people's faces, Li Gui Hua's heart sank.
The news they had inquired about was probably not good!
"Rong Xue, how did the inquiry go?" Grandma An asked.
At this time, the mother and daughter-in-law were also discussing this child.
Li Gui Hua knew a little bit, and Grandma An knew that the child's parents were very good people in their early years, kind to others, and did many good deeds. But who knew that good people didn't live long and were gone just like that, leaving only this one child.
Especially, Little Tree's father drowned while rescuing collective property.
Who knew that the descendants of such people were now wandering and begging for a living everywhere.
An Rong Xue said hatefully, "We went to Nanhe Village to inquire. We didn't say we met Little Tree at the time, only that we were distant relatives of Little Tree's mother's family, coming to see Little Tree."
He quickly told the rest of the family what had happened.
The villagers in Nanhe Village still had no idea that Little Tree was lost.
They even heard that there were still people from Little Tree's mother's family who would come to see Little Tree.
However, thinking about it again, it didn't seem strange. Although it seemed that no one from Little Tree's mother's family had ever come before.
But just because no one had come before didn't mean there was no one.
They enthusiastically pointed the way for the few people, and also mentioned that Little Tree had been sick for many days.
Shen Zi Zhen and An Rong Xue were very surprised. Little Tree was clearly not there, so why would these people say that Little Tree had been sick for many days?
They thought of something and asked a few more questions.
These villagers didn't suspect the few people, but directly explained the reason. It was nothing more than that they hadn't seen Little Tree these days, and some people in the village were curious and asked why Little Tree wasn't coming out.
Little Tree's uncle and aunt had always said that Little Tree had been unwell recently and was lying on the kang.
As they said this, the two of them also sighed, saying that Little Tree's body was too weak, and after they had taken care of him for so long, he still hadn't gotten better.
The villagers really believed that Little Tree was unwell.
The few people also tricked them into telling the truth, and the villagers hadn't seen Little Tree for a month.
They naturally guessed that Little Tree had probably been wandering outside for a month.
However, this news was strictly hidden by Little Tree's uncle and aunt.
The few people guessed that this was intentional by Little Tree's uncle and aunt.
"I think they are just stalling for time."
An Rong Xue expressed his guess, which clearly meant they didn't intend for the child to be found.
"Little Tree, being so small, if they had found him the next day and searched, they would have found him quickly."
Su San Gong also nodded in agreement with An Rong Xue's words.
"They are just stalling for time. If a long time passes and the person is completely lost, they can legitimately occupy Little Tree's house and property."
Shen Zi Zhen's face was cold, and he remained silent.
Obviously, he thought the same.
Shen Zi Zhen's emotions fluctuated greatly at this time.
Shen Zi Zhen was a scientific talent and was not very adept at human relationships.
But he knew the principle of being kind to others.
As far as he was concerned, he really couldn't imagine that people's hearts could be so malicious.
Although it was not his own child, it was still the bloodline left by his younger brother.
It was understandable about Little Tree's aunt, as Little Tree had no blood relation to her.
But Little Tree's uncle was also so heartless.
Was he human?
Su Xiao Tian had already understood most of it from Little Tree, and by combining this information, she could roughly reconstruct the truth of the matter.
"Why didn't you just punch those heartless things a few times?" Grandma An said hatefully.
In her old age, she had never known that people could be so cruel. It was just a child, let alone a relative, even without any relationship, one shouldn't treat them like this!
"When we arrived at their house and wanted to see Little Tree, they insisted that Little Tree was recuperating and refused to let us see him. They also said that it was not easy for them to raise Little Tree, and that we, as relatives, should at least bring some food for Little Tree."
They really wanted to beat them up, but they hadn't revealed their identities, and besides, beating someone without reason was really not justifiable.
Shameless, truly shameless!
This also made them truly understand what it meant to be shameless.
Su Xiao Tian was also greatly shocked. Could these two have gone this far?
The child was long gone, and when relatives came to visit, they could still ask for food and money without hesitation?
Were they not afraid of retribution?
Li Gui Hua couldn't help but shed tears when she realized how pitiful Little Tree was.
What a good child, if his parents were still alive, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Why is this child so pitiful?" Li Gui Hua said, wiping her tears.
"We must help this child. His uncle and aunt are truly terrifying."
Grandma An, who had raised her children by herself and whose daughter even had a job, showed that she was quite capable. At this time, she indeed showed some decisiveness.
"Mother, this is not a matter in our town. We can't just go to the next town to help Little Tree stand up for himself."
Everyone fell silent. This was indeed a problem. No matter who they were, they were not Little Tree's relatives, and they had no way to help Little Tree stand up for himself.
"What kind of person is Little Tree's uncle?" Su Xiao Tian suddenly asked.
