Chapter 047 Beating the Child on a Rainy Day

At around two o'clock in the morning, Shi Yue and his group finally returned to the slum.

The police van stopped at the gate of the compound. Everyone got out of the car yawning. Ma Yulan pulled Niu Xiaobei and thanked everyone.

"Thank you all for running around with me all night. Well, it's getting late, everyone should go home and get some rest."

It was too late now. Even if she wanted to thank everyone, it was not convenient. She could only do it tomorrow.

Everyone was so sleepy at this moment that they couldn't wait to go home. They didn't care whether Ma Yulan thanked them or not. They all walked into the yard with heavy steps.

"Are you back? Where's Xiaobei? Have you found Xiaobei?" Old Mrs. Yang was worried about something and hadn't fallen asleep yet. When she heard the noise outside, she immediately put on her clothes and came out.

Shi Yue yawned again: "I found it, it's right behind."

Ma Yulan just happened to be dragging Niu Xiaobei into the courtyard. When Niu Xiaobei heard this, he raised his hand and said, "Aunt Yang, I'm back."

Old Lady Yang squinted her eyes and glanced at him. "Xiaobei is back. I'm glad he's back. I'm glad he's okay."

Ma Yulan frowned and slapped Niu Xiaobei, saying, "Look, the trouble you caused today has made everyone in the hospital worried."

Niu Xiaobei felt guilty and chuckled as he touched the back of his head. He said nothing. However, Ma Yulan turned around and said to Old Lady Yang, "Don't worry, Old Yang. He's fine. Go get some rest."

Old Lady Yang nodded. Seeing Niu Xiaobei's exhausted face, she didn't dare to ask what Niu Xiaobei had been doing so late. She just said to Shi Yue, "Shi Xiao, I saw that you guys hadn't come back yet, and Xiao Qiu was sleepy again, so I let Xiao Qiu sleep at my house."

Shi Yue: "Aunt Yang, please take care of Xiaoqiu. I'll take her back."

Shi Qiu Shui is a restless sleeper who loves to do yoga. She sleeps with Old Lady Yang, which really puts a strain on her health.

"Oh, okay, Xiaoshi, please follow me in." Old Mrs. Yang led Shi Yue into the house.

As soon as Shi Yue entered the room, he saw Shi Qiu Shui lying sprawled on the kang, occupying half of Old Lady Yang's bed. He smiled apologetically at Old Lady Yang.

Old Mrs. Yang didn't say anything, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shi Yue pick up Shi Qiu Shui and leave.

To be honest, sleeping with Shi Qiushui was really torturous. She hadn't fallen asleep in the first half of the night. Besides being worried about Niu Xiaobei, Shi Qiushui's sleeping posture was also one of the reasons.

Shi Qiushui slept soundly and didn't wake up until Shi Yue brought her home. When Shi Yue put her on the bed, she just hummed twice, rubbed the pillow, and continued to snore.

Shi Yue chuckled softly and sighed, "What a little pig."

After poking Shi Qiu Shui's chubby cheeks and putting the summer quilt on her belly, Shi Yue tiptoed out of Shi Qiu Shui's bedroom. He closed the door, wiped his face briefly, and lay down on his bed.

After a day of work and running around in the evening, he was exhausted. He fell asleep in less than five minutes after lying on the bed.

He only remembered that when he was half asleep and half awake, he seemed to hear a faint cry. He frowned impatiently and distinguished that the sound came from the direction of Ma Yulan's house.

Oh, it was passed down from Ma Yulan’s family, so that’s not surprising.

It must be Aunt Ma who was beating Niu Xiaobei. Just now in the car, he saw Aunt Ma's hands clenched into fists, ready to make a move.

This is what Niu Xiaobei deserves. It was his fault for skipping school and taking his female classmates so far away.

He turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

Like him, the other residents in the courtyard all went to bed after a simple wash. After all, it was really late. Soon, only the lights in Ma Yulan's house were still on.

Ma Yulan held the broomstick in her hand, staring at Niu Xiaobei with anger.

Because it was too late and everyone else was asleep, she suppressed her anger and said, "Niu Xiaobei, tell me again, what did you do wrong today?"

Niu Xiaobei scratched his head and said in confusion, "Mom, I know, I was wrong. I shouldn't have missed the last bus and stayed out so late, making you, Dad, and the people in the compound worry."

Ma Yulan unconsciously raised her voice: "Do you think your mistake was that you shouldn't have missed the last bus?"

She raised the broomstick and lashed at Niu Xiaobei fiercely: "Should I still say that you're doing well to reflect on your actions? If you had just caught the last bus, you could have gone home on time and we wouldn't have discovered you skipping school?"

"Ah--" Niu Xiaobei cried out in pain.

Ma Yulan: "Others are asleep, please keep your voice down!"

Niu Xiaobei immediately shut his mouth and looked at his mother begging for mercy, hoping that his mother would let him go, but unfortunately, Ma Yulan did not show him mercy.

Ma Yulan waved her hand mercilessly, and the broomstick fell on Niu Xiaobei's butt like raindrops.

Although she beat the child, Ma Yulan cared about the child's health, so she only spanked the child's buttocks. After all, the buttocks had thick flesh and would not be damaged.

However, although his butt was not broken, it was really painful. Niu Xiaobei screamed like a ghost and shouted to other people in the room with tears in his eyes.

"Ah! It hurts so much! Big brother, big sister, second sister, help me, mom is going to beat me to death!"

The fire in Ma Yulan's heart burned even more fiercely. She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Huh, you said I was going to beat you to death, right? Fine, I'll show you what beating you to death means!"

Pa pa pa, she hit him hard.

Niu Xiaobei's brothers and sisters could only look at him with sympathy.

When mom gets angry, they don’t dare to persuade her!

Accompanied by Niu Xiaobei's wailing, the residents of the compound slept soundly that night, but Niu Xiaobei, whose bottom was bruised, felt sorry for him. Even more heartbreaking for Niu Xiaobei was the beating he received in the middle of the night. The next morning, when he opened his eyes, he saw his mother again, holding a broom. Before he could even say a word, his mother slapped him mercilessly.

His scream of "Ah" pierced the sky, serving as an early alarm clock, waking everyone up.

Shi Yue suddenly woke up, sat up, and opened the curtains in confusion.

What's going on?

He leaned on the window and watched for a while, and found that the noise came from Ma Yulan's house again.

Ma Yulan is beating Niu Xiaobei again.

He scratched his head. Didn't he just beat him up last night? Why did he wake up again this morning...

Could it be that Aunt Ma has nothing to do?

He was happy. It happened to be raining outside, so he could really beat his child on a rainy day. He had nothing to do anyway.

Shi Yue laughed enough, got up, dressed and got out of bed. He came out of his bedroom, walked to Shi Qiushui's door, knocked on the door, and shouted: "Xiaoqiu, it's time to get up!"

"Dad, I know!" Shi Qiu Shui's soft, sleepy voice came out.

Soon, Shi Qiushui changed her clothes and opened the door to come out. She rubbed her eyes and asked, still a little confused, "Hey, Dad, didn't I sleep at Grandma Yang's house last night?"

"Yes, you fell asleep at Grandma Yang's house. I came back at night and brought you back." Shi Yue pinched Shi Qiu Shui's little nose and said, "How dare you say that, you little pig? You were sleeping so soundly that you didn't even wake up when I brought you back."

Shi Qiushui snorted and pouted in dissatisfaction: "If I am a little pig, then you are the pig father, the big pig!"

She snorted and didn't want to pay attention to Shi Yue at first, but she couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, "Dad, when did you get back yesterday?"

Shi Yue: "A little after two o'clock."

Shi Qiushui was slightly surprised: "So late!"

Shi Yue: "That's right, we drove all the way to Xishanli yesterday before we found him."

Shi Qiushui held up his chubby little chin and asked curiously, "Brother Xiaobei, why did you run so far?"

Shi Yue corrected him: "You shouldn't call him brother, you should call him Uncle Xiaobei. He and I are of the same generation. If you call him brother, there's a generation gap."

Shi Qiushui: "Oh, okay, okay, Uncle Xiaobei. Then why did Uncle Xiaobei run so far?"

Shi Yue: "He said he made an appointment with a female classmate to burn incense and pray for good academic performance."

Shi Qiushui smelled gossip and his eyes lit up instantly: "Female classmate?"

Shi Yue immediately saw what the little guy was thinking. He tapped Shi Qiushui's head and said, "Yeah, a female classmate!"

He pinched Shi Qiushui's little face in warning and said, "Don't go out and talk nonsense. Don't forget, you are still a six-year-old child."

Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that Niu Xiaobei definitely had a special relationship with his so-called female classmate, Shi Qiushui, as a six-year-old child, shouldn't have understood so much.

Shi Qiushui curled his lips and said, "Dad, you underestimate children!"

The kids in their kindergarten know a lot. Little Taozi was gossiping with her yesterday, saying that the PE teacher seemed to like Teacher Kobayashi!

Shi Yue: "Alright, alright, go wash up, don't forget, you still have to go to school today!"

Shi Qiu Shui's little face fell instantly. Going to school is really the most painful thing in life!

It was raining outside, a drizzle, not too heavy, so it wouldn't be a problem even without an umbrella. No one in the yard had an umbrella, and they were washing by the pool as usual. When Shi Yue brought his daughter over, Yao Dazui was chattering about Niu Xiaobei's gossip.

Shi Yue and Shi Qiu Shui did not find it strange to see Yao Dazui, a man from the backyard, appear in the front yard to wash up. After all, Yao Dazui would go wherever there was fun.

Shi Qiu Shui pricked up his ears and listened to the gossip with bright eyes.

Yao Dazui said, "Hey, do you know why Lao Ma beat the kids so early in the morning? Tsk, I just leaned over and listened. Tsk, tsk, Xiaobei is really disobedient. The college entrance examination is in two days, and he's actually dating a classmate. If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with dating, but the problem is that he's not only dating, but he's also thinking about going to another place to take the exam with his classmates. Tsk, what's he thinking? So many people from other places want to take the exam in our city, but they can't get in. Why does he want to go to another place?"

It turned out that Niu Xiaobei was beaten this morning because of the pile of letters that Fang Xiaoke found.

Yesterday, Ma Yulan was busy looking for her child and didn't have time to read the content of the letter. She only remembered it when she woke up this morning. When she flipped through it, she was shocked. The corny words in the letter made her, a middle-aged woman, blush. Her face was red and blue, she was embarrassed and angry that her child was in love too early.

It wasn't until she turned to the last letter that she finally couldn't hold it in any longer. On the last letter, written in Niu Xiaobei's handwriting, was a message: "Lili, don't worry. If you can't get into our local university, I will apply to a university outside of our city with you. I will never be apart from you. Wherever you go, I will go."

She immediately got furious. You little bastard, just have a premature love affair, and now you have to go to another city to take an exam for it. You should know that now the household registration follows the university. If you go to a university in another city, your household registration will be registered with the university!

Niu Xiaobei is a person with a local hukou. If he wants to become a resident of another place, he is really playing with his future!

Ma Yulan was both furious and furious. She grabbed Niu Xiaobei without caring that he had just been beaten last night.

Because they were so angry and excited, the noise was quite loud, so Yao Dazui heard every word they said.

Yao Dazui, like Ma Yulan, did not understand or agree, and even could not figure out Niu Xiaobei's thoughts.

What is Sijiucheng? It's the capital! The center of the country!

A household registration in the capital is so valuable!

Why did Niu Xiaobei lose his mind and insist on going to another place with his girlfriend?

Let’s not talk about Niu Xiaobei, let’s just talk about his girlfriend. How could his girlfriend agree to go out of town with Niu Xiaobei?
