"Later on, Qiu Ning had grown up a bit and finally wasn't as clingy as before.
And since he had grown too big, it became inconvenient for me to take him to the mining veins, so I could only let him wait obediently at home for me."
"Qiu Ning would still sit obediently at the front door, just like before, waiting for me to come back."
"If it hadn't been for that day, perhaps this situation would have continued for a very long time," said Qiu Shiyin, a strange emotion surfacing on her face.
"What happened?" Ji Chuan sharply sensed something was amiss.
"That day, I finished my tasks early and when I returned home, I saw a group of children at my doorstep, surrounding Qiu Ning and beating him on the ground, muttering something about a great hero."
Qiu Shiyin tugged at the corner of her mouth and said deliberately, "These children, they treated Qiu Ning as an evil demon, thinking whoever beat him up brutally was the brave hero who slayed demons and eradicated evil."
