The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.

As Ya Ya stared at the large mirror, lost in thought, she suddenly heard soft footsteps coming from the tall, gray stone house next door, and the motion-activated lights in the hallway turned on.

Ya Ya dragged the stroller a little further and looked back.

In the dim light, a young woman with red eyes and a red nose walked down, carrying a bunch of things, mostly in pairs: cups, toothbrushes, and slippers.

The young woman lowered her head and threw everything into the trash can. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a pair of small round shoes with two little hearts on the Velcro closure.

She looked up and realized that there was a very small child standing next to the mirror she had lost, wearing a brand-new red lamb wool coat and holding a small black stroller.

She quickly lowered her voice, "Little friend, why are you here all alone? This mirror is broken, and the edges are very sharp. Don't touch it, or you'll cut your hand."

Hearing the older girl's reminder, Ya Ya obediently took a small step to the side. "Sister, is this big mirror yours?"

The young woman nodded. "Yes, that's bad, I don't want it anymore."

"Oh." Ya Ya nodded in agreement, looked in the mirror, then at the older girl, her little brows furrowing slightly.

"Sister, are you very sad?"

Hearing the child's soft, sweet question and seeing the undisguised concern in her clear eyes, Lin Xiaoxiao, who had been holding back, couldn't hold back any longer, and tears streamed down her face again.

When Ya Ya saw her crying so hard, she panicked and nervously rubbed her little hands together. "Sister, don't cry, don't cry. Are you sad because the big mirror is broken? Ya Ya has money, you can go buy a new one. Don't be sad."

As she spoke, Ya Ya took out a red bill from her small cloth bag.

"But you have to pay it back. This money doesn't just belong to Ya Ya; it's money that everyone in the village earned together."

Lin Xiaoxiao cried even louder, and she squatted down and buried her head in her knees.

"My boyfriend ran off with my best friend, it's so awful! They treat me like I'm stupid... Waaaaah..."

She was crying and wanted to curse, but then she realized that the person in front of her was a tiny little child, so she quickly stopped herself.

It wasn't because of the mirror after all.

Ya Ya took back the red bill, thought for a moment, then leaned over and gently patted her sister's head, just like her mother-in-law would comfort her.

She got scammed by bad people. No wonder, if she were scammed, she would also secretly shed tears.

"Little friend, you should go back now. It's so late, it's not safe outside. I'm fine now." Lin Xiaoxiao cried for a while, then calmed down a bit, wiped her face with her sleeve, and stood up.

Ya Ya looked up at her for a while, and Lin Xiaoxiao gave her a rather awkward smile.

Once she was sure she was feeling better, Ya Ya turned around to push her stroller. But when she saw the big mirror, she stopped and turned back. The girl was still there.

Ya Ya thought for a moment, then spoke earnestly, her voice soft and gentle: "Sister, a broken mirror will prick your hand, so you should throw it away and get a new one. It's the same when a person breaks down. Don't be sad because of a broken person; we can get a new one, something even better."

Lin Xiaoxiao stood frozen in place.

She always felt that she wasn't good enough, that she couldn't keep people, and that she was too stupid and easily fooled.

But in this child's eyes, things were so simple.

It's not that she's bad, it's those people who are bad, it's that the relationship is bad.

A cracked mirror will hurt your hand, so you should throw it away and get a new one.

If someone is bad, they will hurt others. You should let go of them completely and stop punishing yourself for other people's problems.

It turns out she was never wrong.

The ones who are wrong are those who don't cherish her, hurt her, and deceive her.

The pent-up frustration that had been building up inside me for so long suddenly dissipated, the bittersweet resentment faded considerably, and I felt much more relaxed.

She looked towards the alley entrance, where the small figure had already disappeared. She silently said thank you in her heart.

Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, and when she exhaled, her eyes were much clearer and brighter.

She wiped away the tears on her face, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and turned to go upstairs with light steps.

The voice-activated lights lit up one layer at a time as she walked, and then dimmed one layer at a time.

No one noticed that at the other end of the alley, a small figure quietly peeked out, half its head sticking out.

It's a bud.

She still couldn't bear to part with that big mirror.

Seeing the young lady go upstairs and go back, Ya Ya waited for a while before pushing her stroller back quietly to the mirror.

The little purse also began to feel warm, and Ya Ya's little hands touched the thick black rim of the mirror.

I think I can take it back with me, right?

Little purse, you need to live up to expectations!

……

Lotus Village.

Grandma Liu sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) with some trepidation, her hands busy weaving a small basket.

She only realized when she went to dry the grass that she had brought along a pair of unfinished straw sandals. She wondered if people would think that Ya Ya was being inconsiderate...

Just then, a small red shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, followed by a huge mirror with a black border.

It's Ya Ya who's back.

Grandma Liu hurriedly dropped what she was doing, her heart clenching in shock. This thing was so big! Good heavens, how did she bring it back?

Luckily, Ya Ya went over to the table before she did, otherwise she would have had nowhere to lean against the mirror that was taller than herself.

Grandma Liu quickly went forward to support it, and only when she got closer did she realize that there was a support behind the mirror, which was holding it up and preventing it from falling over.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led Ya Ya's toy car and Ya Ya to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). She took Ya Ya's little hand, gently rubbed it, and then turned it over to look at her palm.

Seeing that there were no red marks or scratches, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once she calmed down a bit, she noticed that her daughter had changed into a completely new outfit from head to toe.

She remembered that the fairy sister wanted to buy new clothes for Nannan, and she was mentally prepared, but she hadn't made such a big preparation.

This soft, bright red fuzzy coat has two little corners on the hood, with two different colored pom-poms hanging from the corners. The pants have also been changed to clean, thick, tapered trousers, and the shoes on the feet are white, making the person look energetic.

"Oh my... this outfit looks so good on our little girl..." Grandma Liu exclaimed, delighted.

Ya Ya puffed out her little chest, "Sister He Miao bought these, they're pretty clothes!"

As he spoke, he went to look at himself in the mirror again.

They even pulled Grandma Liu along.

"My mother-in-law saw the big mirror I picked up."

"Found it?" Granny Liu's eyes widened. How could anyone be willing to throw away such a large, clear glass mirror?

Ya Ya nodded. "It was a little sister who didn't want it anymore. Ya Ya asked her. It's broken here. The sister said it would prick your hands. But I think it's such a waste! Such a big mirror, so I asked Little Purse to bring it back for me!"

Grandma Liu looked in the direction Ya Ya pointed and discovered a slanted crack under the large mirror.

This is a dangerous thing.

Grandma Liu looked at the big thing; it wouldn't be good to keep it inside. She told Ya Ya to sit still and not touch it, then the old lady quickly went outside: "Lin's family, come and take a look, help me move this outside!"
