Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 202 202. The silent truth (43)
In order to support herself and her grandmother, it was not enough to rely only on the meager "work money" she received every year. At a young age, she learned to plant the fields with a hoe and go up to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. For this reason, she delayed going to school. Other people of the same age in the village The child has started studying, and she hasn't even touched the school gate.

Later, her parents came back less and less often, and their attitude towards her every time they came back was very perfunctory. It was like coming back once, giving them a year's living expenses for their grandparents and then leaving home, unwilling to even stay for one night.

Li Chunhong, who has been very sensible since she was a child, has no complaints. She just silently envies her younger brother who has never met but is accompanied by her parents, and her friends of the same age who are already studying in school.

When she was eight years old, her grandma took out the tuition fees she had saved for a long time to let her go to school.

Xiao Chunhong was extremely happy to get the hard-won opportunity to study that she had longed for for a long time.

But she was worried that her grandmother, who had bad eyesight, could not take care of herself at home, so Xiao Chunhong was hesitant.

How could grandma not understand what her granddaughter thinks when she spends time with her day and night?
On the one hand, she was very worried. Although her son and daughter-in-law were busy with work and rarely came back to see her, her granddaughter who was by her side was very sensible and considerate. On the other hand, she felt very guilty. If she hadn't been like this, how could she have delayed her granddaughter? until now?
Although she is an old lady from a mountain village and has not seen much of the world, she knows the importance of reading.Only by studying can you have the opportunity to go out and see the bigger world. It was under her supervision that her son finished high school and went out to work, so he had the opportunity to stay and work hard outside.

"Honghong, grandma knows what you are worried about. Grandma's eyesight is not very good, but there is no problem in daily life. Studying is very important. You go to school and study hard. Grandma is waiting for you to grow up, go to college and make money. I’m healing grandma’s eyes.”

Li Chunhong began her reading career.

Just a few years passed like this. Although the grandfather and grandson lived in poverty, they saw hope and had hope, and they were very satisfied.

But the good times didn't last long. When Li Chunhong was about to enter junior high school, something happened that changed her life.

During the holidays, in order to make money for her grandma's eyesight and to save for school fees, Li Chunhong walked to and from the village and town every day to sell home-grown vegetables and bamboo shoots and mushrooms dug from the mountains. At such a young age, she was willing to endure hardships and worked hard from dawn to dusk in order to make more money.

If she hadn't been too young and the other helpers didn't want anyone, she originally planned to work part-time in the town, so she could earn more.

It is said that children of poor people become masters early, and this is indeed true for Li Chunhong. At only 13 years old, she can basically handle the work at home and in the fields.

If she continues to live like this, although she will suffer a lot in life, there are many possibilities in the future.

Something that changed the course of her life happened one evening.

It usually gets dark slowly at night in summer, but this day was a bit cloudy, and it was already dark before six o'clock.

Li Chunhong, who sold out the local goods that day, hurried home without an umbrella.

From a distance, she seemed to see her grandma standing at the door with a stick, waiting for her to come home.

Her heart warmed, and when she was about to hurry up, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Grandpa Li from the same village.

It seems that most of the people in their village have the surname Li. After all, the conditions are more difficult and there are very few outsiders.

Xiao Chunhong, who has always been sensible and well-behaved, said hello to her grandpa and then planned to continue on her way, so as to tell her grandma not to wait in a hurry.

But Old Man Li, who was coming towards her, obviously didn't intend to let her go: "Little girl, can you do Grandpa a favor?"

The kind and simple little girl didn't know how to refuse an old man's request. Although she was anxious to go home and worried about her grandma, she was also afraid that her grandpa might have something urgent. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

In her opinion, respecting the elderly and caring for the young are the basic virtues of a good child. What's more, Grandpa Li and she are from the same village. When she sees them, the children are always smiling and amiable. Now the grandpa is asking for help when he encounters difficulties. , I cannot turn a blind eye.

She didn't see the "grandpa" who she thought was kind and kind. At this time, his cloudy eyes were constantly looking at her young but faintly beautiful face, with greedy and disgusting looks in his eyes...

With a heart that helps others, she followed Grandpa Li into his home who pretended to be unwell and needed help. She stayed there until very late, until it started to drizzle heavily in the sky, and her face was filled with tears. With a dazed expression, Lai Hen staggered back home.

Hearing the noise, grandma, who had been awake and anxious for a long time, fumbled for a light and walked towards the door.

"Honghong? Is it Honghong?" Grandma's voice was full of urgency.

"You girl, why are you so late today? Are you wet? Didn't I tell you to go home when it gets dark? Are you hungry? I've left some food for you..."

Xiaochunhong's face was mixed with rain and tears, and her mouth was filled with the smell of rust from bitten lips. At this time, listening to her grandma's loving and caring voice, her panic-filled heart finally found a stop. She cried loudly and went to bed. I hugged my grandma...

Through her granddaughter's intermittent cries, the grandma learned the truth about this painful incident. She gritted her teeth and spat on the ground hatefully: "Damn you old thing! You were not serious when you were young, and you are still like this when you are old. Come to harm my family Honghong, I, I..."

She wanted to fight him desperately to avenge her granddaughter, but her eyes were broken and it was difficult to even go out. How could she find that heartless scum and chop him up to vent her anger on her granddaughter?

She didn't think about reporting the crime. After all, it was related to her granddaughter's reputation. Even though there were few people in the village, the old people who lacked after-dinner entertainment liked to gossip the most. The east and west families were short of family. Whenever there was any trouble in the village, rumors would fly everywhere. She didn't want to Let my granddaughter be criticized by people in the village and unable to hold her head high as a human being.

Can you bear this tone?How could she do it?
When she thought of her little and well-behaved granddaughter being bullied by an old villain, who was still an acquaintance in the village, she felt a suffocation in her chest and wished she could cut him into pieces!

……

Li Chunhong has always been busy making a living since she was a child, and she was withdrawn and had no friends to play with. She always kept to herself. It was only when she went to school that she made a few friends. She lacked the warmth of her parents and felt the warmth of friendship. I cherish these "friends" very much.

Li Gou is one of them.

Back then, he was still a boy who liked to have a snotty nose, a fat face, and was always dirty. He always liked to tease girls.He is also a left-behind child. His parents are too busy at work to take care of him, so they leave him to be taken care of by his grandparents. However, he can receive a large amount of living expenses every month, and his conditions are actually much better than most people in the village.
