The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Li Tian went over and helped Liu Xiang up.

"Aunt Liu, we'll take you home."

Liu Xiang looked at Li Tian with a complicated expression.

He glanced at Kong Man a few steps away.

She also glanced at the man who was still lying on the ground cursing incessantly.

Her mind was in turmoil, like a tangled mess.

"Thank you, but... I'd better not trouble you any further."

Saving lives is the right thing to do.

But Li Tian didn't want to cause trouble for her grandfather, after all, she didn't have the ability to meddle in other people's business.

Li Tian didn't ask Liu Xiang what had happened, but she made a point of remembering the car's license plate.

Having a license plate means you know who it is.

"Aunt Liu, let's leave here first."

Kong Man didn't ask any questions and went over to help him up.

"Let's go, this place is too remote, we can't leave you here alone."

Liu Xiang bit her lip and thanked her.

Kongman started the car, and the jeep quickly drove away.

As for the two people still lying on the ground, they won't die.

Kong Man glanced at Liu Xiang in the passenger seat.

"Comrade, do you need me to accompany you to report the crime?"

"We can testify for you."

Liu Xiang looked out the window, bewildered.

The night was very dark, and the surrounding scenery was a blur.

The road was only visible where the headlights illuminated, but once the car passed, it immediately disappeared back into the pitch-black night.

It was just like her life.

A brief moment of light can't change anything.

After a while, Liu Xiang slowly said, "No, not for now. I can't afford to offend those people."

Kong Man did not try to dissuade her.

Each has its own difficulties and concerns.

"Then be careful and try not to be alone."

"Thank you, thank you. Will this cause you any trouble?"

Kong Man's lips curled slightly.

If Liu Xiang hadn't been kind-hearted, she wouldn't have let Li Tian lend a hand.

"It's alright, don't worry about us."

"Please drop me off at the roadside. I can get back by myself. Thank you."

Driving someone to pick them up won't take up much time.

To do a good deed to the end, one should see it through to the end.

When they reached the roadside, Kongman did not stop the car.

"I'll take you back, no need to be polite. I'm not familiar with the route, so I'll need your directions."

Liu Xiang expressed her gratitude once again.

Li Tian had already fallen asleep in the back seat after getting on the bus.

Kong Man was a man of few words, and no one spoke much on the way.

It took about half an hour to get to Liu Xiang's neighborhood.

Kong Man asked for directions again, then bid farewell to Liu Xiang and returned to the main road.

This pause caused Li Tian to suddenly wake up.

Once she woke up, she couldn't fall back asleep, so she leaned over and started talking to Kong Man.

"Master, what's Aunt Liu's relationship with those two people?"

"have no idea."

"Take a guess, I have a feeling they know each other."

"Yeah, they must have been tricked into coming here."

"But he doesn't seem like a normal suitor either."

Kong Man used her free right hand to pat Li Tian.

"You're just a kid, how dare you have such aspirations!"

"I understand. I played a part in getting my aunt and Uncle Zheng together. By the way, I should think about asking Uncle Zheng for some benefits another day."

Kong Man pursed her lips.

"You have no idea what kind of jerk my aunt used to like..."

Li Tian started talking.

He recounted the story of Li Siwen and Zhang Qizhe as if it were a story.

Kong Man listened quietly; she had seen far more darkness than anyone else.

There's nothing to be surprised about.

That's just human nature.

"Do you think Aunt Liu has caught the eye of some high-ranking official's son?"

Kong Man sighed softly.

"Being too conspicuous inevitably attracts trouble; there are always people you can't afford to offend."

"In the end, ordinary people basically have no choice but to submit."

Li Tian shook her head firmly.

"No, it's better to die a glorious death than to live a life of dishonor."

"If you know you can't stand that kind of grievance, you shouldn't have endured it in the first place. Why wait until you can't bear it anymore before you explode?"

Kong Man immediately thought of her aunt who had endured her whole life.

Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

It's so frustrating.

"People always have illusions, thinking that they can get through it if they just endure it."

"Actually, it's not that the matter is over, it's just that we've become more and more numb from enduring it."

Li Tian nodded, expressing her strong agreement.

Having lived to my master's age, and with his extraordinary experience, he is now worldly-wise and clear-headed.

This isn't just empty rhetoric; it's a genuine and clear-headed understanding.

This traditional concept of forbearance, instilled in generations from childhood, actually stems from a severe lack of self-awareness.

Self-love is self-love, not selfishness.

The matter concerning Liu Xiang.

Others can only lend a helping hand, but if she doesn't stand up for herself, no one can help her.

There are many powerful figures, but no one can control everything.

It all comes down to whether you want to live a numb, kneeling life or stand up and fight until you're bloodied and bruised.

Without strength, there is no more courage.

What can we do?

When Li Tian and his apprentice arrived home, the family had already eaten dinner.

Knowing they were still hungry, Aunt Zhang immediately went to the kitchen.

Li Shengli poured Li Tian a glass of water, and Li Zilong brought over a box of snacks.

Li Siwen greeted Kong Man.

Ye Zhao felt sorry for Li Tian as she ate the snacks with gusto.

"Why are we here at this hour? You must be starving."

Li Tian's mouth was stuffed full, and her speech was a little unclear.

"Filming went very smoothly today; we finished shooting all three scenes in no time."

Seeing that half a cup of water had been emptied, Li Shengli quickly refilled it.

"There's no need to rush."

"It's alright to rush off; there's no need to go to the scene anymore."

Seeing that Li Tian had finished eating a piece of jujube paste pastry and was about to get another, Ye Zhao stopped her.

"Just a little something to tide you over, we can eat right away."

Grandma was only trying to help her, so Li Tian didn't insist and picked up her water glass to drink a few more sips.

After drinking the water, I went back to change my clothes and washed my face.

When she came out again, steaming hot wontons were already on the table.

The wontons are round and plump, with seaweed and dried shrimp floating in the soup.

Just looking at it makes me want to eat.

After finishing her meal, Kong Man cleared away the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash, without asking Zhang Sao for help.

While her memory was still clear, Li Tian went back inside and wrote down the license plate number.

She had no way to find out, so she had to rely on the old man.

Asking Li Shengli for help naturally requires explaining things clearly.

After listening to Li Tian's story, Li Shengli didn't say anything, but simply accepted the paper.

If he accepted it, Li Tian knew that her grandfather would help with the investigation.

After discussing the filming set, everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.

After resting for one night, Zhao Qingping came again the next day.

This time, I'm picking up Li Tian to go record.

But Li Tian couldn't go.

I don't know if it's because I'm tired or because I was exposed to the cold wind last night.

Li Tian had a slight cold, but it wasn't serious.

Although it's not serious and doesn't even require medication, a sore throat makes it impossible to record songs.

There's no use in being anxious about a child like this.

Zhao Qingping gave a few instructions and then left.

Because she was afraid that Li Tian would catch a cold and infect other children, Ye Zhao didn't let Li Tian go to school.

So, Li Tian stayed home for another two days.

Eating, sleeping, reading.

No one told Li Zilong that Li Tian planned to skip grades, but Li Zilong himself knew about Li Tian's ambition.

My younger sister actually wants to skip a grade and be in the same class as him.

This had a profound impact on the young boy's heart.
