Chapter 268 Su Xiaoxiao saves the bullied person

One of the taller boys came over first and attacked Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao kicked him directly in the stomach, and he rolled on the ground in pain.

The other boys swarmed around Su Xiaoxiao, surrounding her.

The boy lying on the ground was probably the leader of the group; he pointed at Su Xiaoxiao with a trembling hand.

"You must arrest her immediately and avenge me."

Su Xiaoxiao really didn't take these boys seriously. They didn't know any martial arts, and their techniques were chaotic. In just a few rounds, Su Xiaoxiao had knocked them all to the ground.

The perpetrators slunk away, while the boy who had been beaten lay curled up on the ground.

His clothes were soaked by the mud and water on the snow, and he was shivering from the cold. Su Xiaoxiao went over and helped him up. She gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid, they're gone."

The boy was still shivering.

With Su Xiaoxiao's help, he slowly got up from the ground and said, "Thank you."

"What's your name? Why are those boys bullying you?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the thin boy, who was so thin he was almost skin and bones, and he was only a few years older than Da Bao.

If a strong wind were to blow at this time, it could easily blow him away.

Su Xiaoxiao took out fifty coins from her pocket and a piece of pastry, which she planned to eat when she got hungry at noon.

The boy's eyes widened instantly when he saw the pastry.

But he still forced himself to refuse.

"No, you keep it."

Su Xiaoxiao offered the delicate pastry forward again, but when he still refused to take it, Su Xiaoxiao laughed.

The child must be having a huge internal struggle, thinking, "It's okay, take it. What's your name?"

"My name is Li Taibai."

The name sounded familiar, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but scrutinize the boy in front of her. "Your name is Li Taibai? That's a pretty nice name."

"You're so thin, have some. Here, take the pastries and the money."

At this moment, Li Taibai took the pastries and money that Su Xiaoxiao handed him. It felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds. He felt very uneasy and couldn't help but bow deeply to Su Xiaoxiao.

The feeling was very sincere, and Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said to him, "Hurry up and go home."

"Thank you."

Li Taibai bowed deeply to Su Xiaoxiao, then turned and quickly left with the pastries and money in his hands, the pastries seeming to weigh a ton as if they were a heavy burden.

Su Xiaoxiao had never seen anyone cherish a piece of pastry so much, and she couldn't help but sigh.

There are indeed quite a few pitiful people in this world.

Su Xiuer urged Su Xiaoxiao from behind, "Cousin, let's hurry up, or I'll be late."

Su Xiaoxiao turned to Su Xiuer and said, "What's wrong with being late? I'm the boss, and I haven't said anything. What are you afraid of?"

Su Xiaoxiao watched Li Taibai's retreating figure with great worry, fearing that something might happen to this thin and frail child, and that the bullies might go back and take all the things away again.

Su Xiaoxiao followed the boy until he stopped in front of a very dilapidated house.

This must be the boy's home. Su Xiaoxiao felt a pang of sadness when she saw it. This was hardly a home; it was more like a shack.

"Dad, look."

Li Bai took the pastries and money back to his father.

He carefully handed these things to his father, Li Shun, whose eyes were filled with surprise.

"Where did you get this?"

"Father, quickly give this to Mother!" Li Shun's eyes were full of surprise, but he immediately shouted sternly at Li Taibai, "Tell me, who gave you these things? And with money too?"

"Tell me quickly, these pastries are so expensive, how could a family like ours possibly afford them?"

Li Taibai's body trembled slightly. He bit his lip and stubbornly said to his father, Li Shun, "Father, I didn't steal anything."

"Where did all of these come from?"

“It was given to me by an older sister. She saw me being bullied and rescued me, and she also gave me these food items.”

At this moment, Li Shun's face showed very complicated emotions. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed.

It wasn't until Li Bai's mother, inside the house, weakly asked, "Has Taibai returned?"

Then came a series of piercing coughs. At this moment, Li Taibai quickly grabbed the pastries and rushed into the room.

"Mom, these are delicious pastries, have some."

"Your mother doesn't want to eat, you eat. Look how thin you are, you need to eat more."

The person lying on the bed was Li Bai's mother, and she looked at Li Bai with loving eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to listen any longer outside the door. Why was this family so pitiful?

This dilapidated courtyard was almost deserted, with no other houses nearby, except for this one family.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Li Bai."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Li Shun and said, "I'm the older sister who just gave Li Taibai the things and money."

Li Shun looked like an ordinary farmer, dark-skinned, thin, and not very tall.

Li Shun had pretty much guessed it, so he quickly got up and let Su Xiaoxiao into the house.

"Please come in quickly. If you don't come and explain, I'll think Li Bai went out to steal something."

"No, Taibai is a very good child."

Hearing Su Xiaoxiao say that, Li Shun's eyes lit up with joy. He was naturally very happy to hear someone praise his child.

But his happiness was short-lived; soon his face showed a deep sadness.

"It's all my fault, I've made my child suffer."

Su Xiaoxiao saw sadness in Li Shun's eyes, but since Su Xiaoxiao was an outsider, he couldn't say too much to her.

"Young lady, let me pour you a cup of tea."

As he spoke, Li poured Su Xiaoxiao a cup of tea. The teacup looked very old, with chips on it.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao didn't seem disgusted. Instead, she politely said that she wasn't thirsty.

The room was basically sparsely furnished, and the walls were dilapidated.

"Who's here? The baby's father?"

Su Xiaoxiao heard the woman inside the room asking Li Shun a question.

At this moment, Li Shun walked in from outside and said to her, "The benefactor who helped Taibai just now has come over."

Su Xiaoxiao walked to the woman's room and looked at the woman lying on the bed, who looked sickly. She quickly asked, "Taibai, is your mother sick?"

When Li Taibai saw that it was Su Xiaoxiao, a look of great surprise appeared on his face.

He pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "Father, Mother, this is my savior."
