Chapter 427 Su Xiaoxiao worries about Xiao Shitou's future

Su Xiaoxiao may not know martial arts, but she is quite strong and twisted the man's arm off.

The tall boy grimaced in pain and began to plead with Su Xiaoxiao.

"Let me go please!"

Su Xiaoxiao finally let him go, but the other boys didn't dare to come any closer. They felt that this girl was quite formidable in this place.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they are only a few years older than them; they seem like they are not to be trifled with.

The other boys quickly slunk away.

This time, they didn't hesitate at all. That's how it's always been. If they're here to bully others, they'll pick on the weak. If you provoke them, they won't be able to fight back, which will only embolden these people in the long run.

However, it seems that this easy target still has people coming to his aid, so they naturally have to let go and run away as soon as possible.

However, the boy whose arm Su Xiaoxiao had dislocated was powerless to fight back; all he could feel was pain. He rolled around on the ground in agony, and Su Xiaoxiao, seeing his pitiful state, went over and asked him, "Tell me, are you still bullying others?"

The boy quickly and obediently replied, "I'll never bully them again. I promise I'll behave well and never bully anyone again. Please help me, it hurts!"

Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. She walked over, grabbed the boy's arm, and immediately put his arm back in its original position.

The boy first cried out in pain, then he felt that the pain in his arm was gone. He moved it around a few times and found that the joint had returned to its original position.

At this moment, the boy was quite happy. He was very grateful to Su Xiaoxiao. Before leaving, he gave Xiao Shitou a meaningful look and then staggered away.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw Xiao Shitou, he remained silent, standing motionless in his original spot. For some reason, he was so stubborn.

This kid has been incredibly stubborn since he was little, Su Xiaoxiao noticed. She thought to herself, "I saw how badly this little stone was bullied earlier, but he still looked so stubborn. I guess they only came to collect protection money from him because of his stubbornness."

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and came to the little stone.

Little Stone kept his head down, but Su Xiaoxiao ignored her and said directly to him, "Little Stone, look up at me. I have something to say!"

Little Stone remained stubborn, even lowering his head further.

He liked it this way, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't do anything about this awkward boy.

But the moment the little stone looked up, it reminded Su Xiaoxiao of someone—Zhao Shi.

Sometimes when she was being unreasonable to Su Xiaoxiao, she would just give her a look like this.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao felt that they shouldn't be biological children, right?
Why do the two of them have such fierce and similar eyes?
Su Xiaoxiao noticed that Xiao Shitou had become very thin after not seeing him for several days, and there were still scars on his face that hadn't healed.

He's much thinner than before, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Su Xiaoxiao wasn't just overflowing with sympathy. Although she hadn't interacted much with Xiao Shitou, she knew that he wasn't exactly an outsider; he was a child of the Su family. While Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to acknowledge this kinship with the Su family, her husband still bore the surname Su, a fact she could never escape.

Just then, Su Xiaoxiao found some pastries she had bought in town on her carriage. She took a box of delicate pastries off the carriage, opened the box, and found eight different kinds of delicate pastries inside.

There are jujube cakes, rose-filled cakes, peanut and sesame-filled cakes, and all kinds of other flavored pastries, with a wonderfully fragrant aroma.

Let alone children, even adults would find it hard to resist the urge to eat such delicious pastries.

At this moment, although Little Stone had been resisting talking to Su Xiaoxiao, he really couldn't control his little hands.

In the end, he reached for the pastry and quickly stuffed his mouth full.

After finishing this piece, he immediately reached for another piece of pastry.

Su Xiaoxiao quickly stopped him, "Little Stone, you'll choke to death if you do that. You don't need to grab it, this whole box is for you."

As she spoke, Su Xiaoxiao handed the snack box directly to Xiao Shitou.

When Little Stone took the snack box, he was noticeably different. He looked very happy, and the corners of his mouth were almost too wide to suppress.

He took another pastry from the pastry box and took a big bite. In fact, children in rural areas might not get to eat such pastries even once a year, let alone once a year.

That's why Little Stone was so happy and gradually let his guard down.

Su Xiaoxiao came over and patted Xiao Shitou's head, then said to him, "Why do you always have to frown like that, looking so bitter and resentful?"

Little Stone looked up at Su Xiaoxiao, wanting to say something but not speaking.

"You little brat, I've already helped you twice in a heroic act, and you still treat me like this, with such a cold attitude."

Su Xiaoxiao had indeed helped Xiao Shitou twice. The last time was with Widow Bi, and this time she came to rescue him when she saw him being bullied.

After hearing this, Xiao Shitou lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then he looked up. This time, Su Xiaoxiao did not see any ruthlessness in his eyes. Instead, she saw a growing trust in him.

Su Xiaoxiao thought this time there was a chance, and who knew if she could use this opportunity to get Xiao Shitou to open up.

What we saw was that Little Stone ran away with the snack box, but before leaving, he bowed deeply to Su Xiaoxiao.

When Su Xiaoxiao talked to Zhao about this, she didn't mention giving him the snack box or wanting to have further conversations with Xiao Shitou.

She simply mentioned that Xiao Shitou was being bullied by other children in the village. Upon hearing this, Zhao Shi immediately flew into a rage and acted as if she wanted to fight those people to the death.

"Sister-in-law, don't get agitated. Since you don't know about this, it seems Xiao Shitou hasn't told you. You really should pay more attention to his upbringing. Think about it, if Xiao Shitou continues like this, he'll be bullied and he'll learn to fight back. In the long run, he'll learn bad habits from the kids who bullied him, becoming good-for-nothing and wasting his life idly. But sister-in-law, have you ever thought about sending Xiao Shitou to school?"
