Li Guifang leaned back comfortably on the rattan chair, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan that made a whirring sound.

She squinted her eyes and crunched melon seeds in her mouth, feeling so happy.

You little bastard, I've raised you up so much, I know what you're going to fart about even when you stick your butt out! Why are you still acting so high and mighty?

Oh, what the hell? A bully who only cares about the weak and the strong. He really thinks he's a piece of cake!

Today, her shortcomings were exposed in public, and I guess I won’t dare to provoke her again in the short term.

"Humph, Li Mingyuan has such little courage," she spat on a melon seed shell.

"I scolded you like a quail today. I'm afraid you'll have to avoid me next time you see me."

But then she thought again and frowned. Li Mingyuan would never give up until he achieved his goal.

She glanced at her husband Li Jianghai, who was pretending to read a newspaper by the window. This honest old man was likely to be pestered by Li Mingyuan.

"Old man," she suddenly said, "When you walk on the main road to and from get off work these days, remember to avoid Li Mingyuan if you see him."

Li Jianghai peeked out from above the newspaper: "What's the matter? He still dares to come?"

"What's wrong?" Li Guifang threw the melon seeds into the tin candy box. "Do you still want to understand? I ridiculed him so much today, he doesn't dare to come to me, so he will definitely come to you to make amends. After all, you are his good father!"

Seeing that her husband was still confused, she counted on her fingers.

"Old man, please think about this carefully!

Back then, that kid Li Mingyuan said he wanted five yuan to buy a homework book—what kind of book cost five yuan? One covered in gold foil? What happened? He turned around and secretly asked you for the money!

Li Jianghai pushed up his reading glasses, which had slipped to the tip of his nose. A mosquito-like humming sound came from behind the newspaper: "That's... the child needs to study..."

"Learn nothing!" Li Guifang ripped down his newspaper. "Later, I found three comic books of 'Shaolin Temple' in his schoolbag!

Also! When he married Lin Yaqin a few years ago, I disagreed with giving him such a large dowry. Did he brainwash you? Don't you have any idea of ​​your own son's character?

Li Jianghai pushed his reading glasses and said slowly, "So many years have passed..."

Li Guifang became even more angry when she heard this. She slammed her palm-leaf fan on the table and said, "Go ahead? Go ahead! A dog will always eat shit!"

She counted on her fingers and continued, "Last winter, I told you we weren't running low on coal and asked you to stop sending it to our sons. But what happened? You took advantage of me going to market and secretly carried half a bag for our eldest son!"

Li Jianghai shrank his neck and muttered softly, "That's just... seeing my grandson stamping his feet out of the cold..."

"Freezing? Frozen his legs!" Li Guifang slapped her thigh in anger. "Later, when I went to his house, I saw the coal piled up in the yard, exposed to the rain! That spendthrift Lin Yaqin refused to bring the coal into the house because it was dirty!"

Li Jianghai shrank his neck, looking like a quail caught in the rain.

He knew clearly in his heart that these kids were indeed unreliable.

But how could a father really ignore his children? Especially Li Mingyuan, who had always been a student since childhood, and everyone in the neighborhood praised him. What if... he meant what if... could he really be counted on in the future?

Well, now he even feels uneasy about this "what if" thing.

"You!" Li Guifang looked at her husband's cowardly look, wanting to say something but not being able to, and slapped her thigh in anger.

"It's just like that old radio we have at home—all it does is whirr and whirr, and it can't produce any hard words!"

She suddenly stood up, put her hands on her hips and announced: "I'm telling you this! If that guy dares to come to you again, you'll..."

She picked up the feather duster and stuffed it into Li Jianghai's hand, "Hit him! Let him know how many eyes the Horse King has!"

Li Jianghai held the feather duster as if he had caught a grenade.

He stole a glance at his furious wife and swallowed.

Well, the old woman is getting more and more aggressive as she gets older. If he dares to say anything, he will definitely be the next one to be beaten!

"What are you standing there for?" Li Guifang had already climbed onto the bed. "Hurry up! Go to sleep quickly. There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow.

If you can't handle these little bastards, I, Li Guifang, will write the three words "Li Guifang" backwards!" Before he could finish his words, he was already snoring!

. . . . .

The next morning, before daybreak, Li Guifang kicked open Li Mingyu's door and said, "Sleep, sleep, sleep, it's already late, but you're still sleeping! Hurry and get up!"

She clutched two freshly-cooked corn tortillas in her hands and thrust them directly into Li Mingyu's arms. "Eat them while they're hot. I'll go to the hospital with Public Security Xu to verify my identity later!"

Li Mingyu dazedly emerged from the bed, his face still stained by the mat marks. "Mom, what time is it..."

"What time? If you delay any longer, you'll be a father!"

I'm telling you, even if the king of heaven comes today, he will have to clean up this dirty thing of yours!"

After saying that, he went out to have breakfast in a hurry.

After a while, Li Guifang's cursing voice could be heard from the alley: "What are you dawdling about for? You're acting like a woman!"

Li Guifang grabbed Li Mingyu's arm and dragged him out. "What did Public Security Xu say yesterday? This matter can't be delayed!"

Li Mingyu felt like he was walking on lead. Seeing that they were almost at the police station, he suddenly shook off his mother's hand and said, "Mom! Can we not go there? I'll talk to Wang Shanshan about it."

Last night, he tossed and turned thinking about it all night. As a grown man, he felt really embarrassed to have his pants pulled down and have his private parts checked!

He wanted to discuss it with Wang Shanshan and help her find out who the father of the child was. What if she agreed? Then it would be none of his business!

He really doesn't want to have his pants taken off!

When Li Guifang heard Li Mingyu's wild idea, she exploded. She picked up her hand and slapped Li Mingyu on the butt: "Discuss? Discuss for nothing!"
