"Dani, didn't I give you a lot of clothes last time? Why didn't you wear them? Where are your shoes?"

Xu Dani's ears turned red and she seemed at a loss, "Aunt Mingzhu, I'm not cold."

Although winter has just entered a few days, the highest temperature today is only about ten degrees, and Shen Mingzhu feels chilly even wearing a cashmere coat.

Looking at Xu Dani, her upper body was wearing an old coarse cloth gown with holes in it, her trousers were a lot too short, and her feet were not old straw sandals.

The skin exposed to the air turned blue-white, the lips were purple, and he kept sniffing, and his thin body kept shaking in the cold wind.

Touching the back of your hand is like touching an ice cube.

Shen Mingzhu hurriedly took out the old coat in the car and said, "Put it on first."

The soft and thick old coat, with a blue floral cloth cover and a muslin lining, was nice and warm, but Xu Dani avoided it as if she was encountering a thorn.

"No, Aunt Mingzhu, I don't want it."

"Why not? Do you dislike patches on your clothes?"

"no!"

Xu Dani shook her head hurriedly, her face showing anxiety, as if she was afraid of being misunderstood by Shen Mingzhu.

She never dreamed of rejecting such a beautiful cotton-padded jacket.

Shen Mingzhu handed the coat over, "Why don't you just put it on? I specially found it for you from Aunt Feng. She has a daughter who is a few years older than you. She will be in the first grade of junior high school next year. If it weren't for Aunt Feng's daughter If you can’t wear it anymore, you won’t be able to get this coat.”

Xu Dani bit her lip, her eye circles gradually turning red, "Aunt Mingzhu, I'm afraid..."

"Put your clothes on first, and then we'll talk slowly."

Unable to resist the temptation of warmth, Xu Dani took the cotton-padded jacket and put it on carefully, as if she was afraid of getting the jacket dirty or damaged.

After Xu Dani put on her cotton-padded jacket, Shen Mingzhu led her to the noodle shop from last time.

It's still hot lamb noodles, but this time there's an extra bowl of lamb blood soup.

After eating the noodles and drinking the soup, Xu Dani's face and lips finally looked rosy.

"Tell me what's going on. Don't worry, I'll make the decision for you."

Hearing this, Xu Dani's eyes turned red...

Xu Dani has a cousin named Xu Liang, who is about the same age as Xu Dani. He is also studying in a primary school in the town and is in the second grade this year.

The clothes and shoes given by Shen Mingzhu would be snatched away by Xu Liang as soon as Xu Dani wore them to school.

To city people, those old clothes are worthless, but to rural children they are as rare as treasures.

Especially white sneakers, not many people in the whole school wear them, most children wear their own cloth shoes.

Xu Dani did not dare to accept the cotton-padded jacket because she was worried that Xu Liang would snatch it away again.

"Besides clothes, has he taken anything else from you? Does he usually bully you?"

Xu Dani sniffed, "He also stole my pen and notebook."

"Then have you told the teacher?"

"As I said, the teacher asked him to return the pen and notebook to me. He returned them, but would take them away again after school."

It is difficult for an upright official to take care of household affairs. Teachers can take care of things in school, but not after school.

As for Zeng Fengxian, she wished that Xu Dani would not go to school, so she would not stand up for Xu Daxian.

……

Shen Mingzhu parked the car at the entrance of the town, the only way for children to go to school.

Not long after, Xu Liang and two children of the same age walked towards the town laughing and joking.

Shen Mingzhu recognized Xu Liang at a glance. Among the group of children, he was the only one wearing white sneakers.

Probably because of not taking care of them, the white sneakers were covered with a layer of dust and turned into gray sneakers.

"is it him?"

Xu Dani nodded.

"Get out of the car, walk up to him, and ask him to give you back what he took."

Xu Dani looked at her with confusion and confusion in her eyes, "What if he doesn't return the favor?"

Shen Mingzhu looked at her and said word by word, "Courtesy first, then attack. If he doesn't want to give it back, then you don't have to be polite. Just as he took your things away, you can take them back."

"Dani, you are barefoot now, so you don't need to be afraid of people wearing shoes. The more afraid you are, the more they will bully you. The only way to deal with evil people is to fight back, and fight back hard."

Xu Dani clenched her hands, "I'm afraid I can't beat him..." "You haven't even fought, how do you know you can't beat him? The worst result is to lose, but even if you lose, you have to let him know that you are not good. Bullying. Whoever bullies you, you have to peel off a layer of his skin and let him know the pain."

"Look at a bee, you can crush it to death with two fingers, but everyone is afraid of it. Why? Because although it is weak, its stings are itchy and painful. Even if it stings people, it will die, but it Just to let people know that it is not something to be trifled with.”

With Shen Mingzhu's enlightenment and encouragement, the timidity in Xu Dani's eyes was gradually replaced by determination and courage.

Before getting off the bus, Xu Dani took off her cotton-padded jacket.

It's not that I'm afraid of being snatched away by Xu Liang again, but that I'm afraid of getting it dirty.

……

"Xu Liang, give me back my shoes and clothes!"

Looking at Xu Dani who came to the door, Xu Liang raised his fist in contempt and protested: "Get out of the way, or I will beat you."

Xu Dani was instinctively afraid of Xu Liang, who was half a head taller than her and domineering.

But soon, she thought of bees.

She also wants to be like a bee and let Xu Liang know that she is not someone to be bullied!

"I'll ask you again, won't you pay it back?"

"Why don't you respond? Bite me. Come and bite me. Come on..."

Along with Xu Liang's shouting, the people around burst into laughter, and they all looked at Xu Dani as if they were watching a good show.

"Okay, you said it yourself."

Xu Dani clenched her hands and hit Xu Liang like a cannonball!

Xu Liang was unprepared and was knocked to the ground. He raised his hand to beat Xu Dani, but Xu Dani bit her hand severely.

"what--"

A howl like a killing pig sounded.

When Xu Dani finished biting it, it wasn't enough. She raised her fist to greet Xu Liang's head and body like a drum.

Although she is thin, she is very strong. After all, she has been doing all kinds of farm and housework since she was a child. She can hold a baby weighing 20 pounds and walk for half an hour without taking a breath.

For a moment, Xu Liang was suppressed by Xu Dani and was unable to fight.

The friends watching the excitement were all shocked.

The bean sprout-like Xu Dani actually beat the strong Xu Liang until his teeth were all over the floor.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, I'll give it back to you, I'll give it back to you!"

Hearing Xu Liang's begging for mercy, Xu Dani stopped, stood up from the ground, and looked at Xu Liang moaning on the ground, her chest rising and falling violently.

Incredibly, she actually won.

She turned back to look at Shen Mingzhu not far away.

After seeing Shen Mingzhu smiling and giving her a thumbs up, she also smiled.

Not a shy smile, but a bright smile showing eight teeth.

Just like the wild daisies swaying by the roadside, they are beautiful and unyielding, not afraid of wind and frost.

"Take off your sneakers and give them back to me!"

Xu Liang was not convinced, but was afraid of Xu Dani's momentum, so he reluctantly took off his shoes and threw them at Xu Dani's feet.

The sneakers were smelly and dirty, but Xu Dani didn't dislike them at all. She picked them up and held them in her arms like a treasure.

For her who walks forty miles every day, such a pair of sneakers is really needed.

"What about others?"

"at home."

"Go back and get it now."

Xu Liang was impatient, "I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

Xu Dani had a tough attitude, "No, right now, I'll wait for you here."

Xu Liang stared at her for a while, and seeing that Xu Dani showed no sign of giving in, he had to get up and walk back.

After half an hour.

Xu Liang came back, but behind him were two adults. (End of chapter)
