Chapter 228: Abuse of children of martyrs leads to imprisonment in the cowshed
Chen Tang didn't have time to listen to them talking about these things, so he asked directly: "Where is Dai Yao?"
Liu Aihua rushed to speak: "He is still cutting grass on the mountain. This shameless Zhang Tiancao abuses Dai Yao all day long. My poor nephew doesn't have enough food to eat every day and is beaten. It's so pitiful."
"Liu Aihua, if you keep talking nonsense I'm going to tear your mouth apart!" Zhang Tiancao was so angry that her facial features were distorted. When did she hit the child?
At most, I would just tap his hand with chopsticks!
The crowd standing outside the yard watching the show suddenly made way for them, and a half-grown child came in carrying a backpack that was almost as tall as him.
"Dai Yao is back."
Chen Tang and Su Xiaoxiao looked back and saw a thin and handsome little boy.
He didn't seem to understand why so many people gathered at his house. Being timid and cowardly, he shrank back.
The little person was wearing clothes that had been patched up for years, and his shoes were straw sandals. He was so thin that one could almost see his bones.
Chen Tang stood up at once.
Everyone was shocked, and Zhang Tiancao quickly explained: "This child is just obedient. I usually don't let him go to cut grass for the pigs, but he insists on helping with housework. I don't abuse him. Sometimes the child plays too late and doesn't come home, so I always leave food for him."
She went up to put down the backpack on Dai Yao's back and smiled: "Yaoyao is back, go eat quickly, your aunt left some food for you."
Seeing everyone looking into their yard, Zhang Tiancao yelled, "What are you looking at? You keep looking into other people's yards, or you might end up with your heads cut off."
Everyone wanted to spit at her, but they also knew Zhang Tiancao's temper. When she got angry, that vicious bitch would hit people directly, so they immediately retreated cursing.
Dai Yao was led into the house by his uncle. He was completely confused. He didn't know why his uncle, who usually had no expression towards him, was so nice to him today.
He even left him a steamed bun!
He was so hungry that he picked it up and ate it, but the steamed corn bread was so dry that he almost choked and rolled his eyes.
Uncle Dai was still beside him and said with a smile: "He just loves to eat wowotou. The child doesn't eat much, so one is enough for him."
Dai Yao did not refute. On ordinary days, he could not even have a piece of steamed bread to eat. If his grandmother had not helped him, he would have starved to death.
But after grandpa passed away, grandma's life was not very good, and she didn't have much food left for him.
"Like a starving man."
Zhang Tiancao cursed softly, thinking that Shen Tang and Su Xiaoxiao couldn't hear it.
But Su Xiaoxiao had sharp ears and grabbed her clothes on the spot: "Say it again?"
"I, I didn't say anything." Zhang Tiancao avoided her gaze and lowered his head in fear under Su Xiaoxiao's cold eyes.
Chen Tang took the steamed bread from the child. Dai Yao subconsciously looked up, and when he saw that it was not someone from his family, he shook his shoulders in fear.
She said to Zhang Tiancao, "Take out the candies and malted milk I just bought."
Zhang Tiancao didn't want to agree, but Liu Aihua heard this and said on the spot that she would go and get it herself.
Before the family split up, she knew where Zhang Tiancao hid his things.
Zhang Tiancao hurried to stop her, but although Liu Aihua was small, she was very strong and pushed her away. When she opened the door, she saw the cabinet that had not been locked yet.
The cabinet was filled with a wide variety of candies, malted milk, as well as clam oil and brown sugar eggs bought by Zhang Tiancao himself.
Liu Aihua took all the things away without any hesitation.
Zhang Tianai was furious when she saw this and rushed up to fight with her.
Chen Tang took advantage of this opportunity to take out a few candies from his pocket and stuffed them into Dai Yao's hand to fill his stomach.
He couldn't even chew the steamed bun, and it would choke him to death if he ate it. Dai Yao was obviously very hungry, and he didn't know how uncomfortable his stomach would be if he ate it directly.
Dai Yao glanced at Chen Tang tremblingly, his black pupils full of confusion.
He carefully stuffed a candy into his mouth, puffed up his little face and stuffed the board, then looked up at Shen Tang again, as if to confirm whether she would hit him.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't stand the chaos, so she picked up the two grown men, one in each hand, and threw them out. Then she kicked Zhang Tiancao away and snatched the things from Liu Aihua.
Seeing that she didn't grab the eggs and brown sugar, Liu Aihua stuffed them directly into her pants, and walked into the main room with her hands in her pockets, pretending she knew nothing.
There was no hot water in the thermos, so Chen Tang simply made a bowl of warm malted milk, took out the red shrimp crisps and placed them in front of Dai Yao: "You eat first, and I'll talk to you while you eat."
Dai Yao subconsciously looked back at his cousins, and seeing that they were not coming to snatch his food, he picked up a piece of red shrimp crisps and started eating.
"Damn it, that's mine!"
Su Xiaoxiao: "If you keep making noise, I'll send you to the police and sue you for child abuse!"
Zhang Tiancao shut up immediately.
Old Madam Dai, who was sitting on top, wiped away her tears with her hands tremblingly: "It's my fault. If I hadn't been biased back then, Yaoyao wouldn't have had such a hard life."
She stood up, bent her legs towards Chen Tang and was about to kneel down, but was supported by Chen Tang.
"I'm sorry San'er, female soldier comrade, please take Yaoyao away. He won't grow up if he stays here."
"What nonsense are you talking about, old woman!" Zhang Tiancao cursed.
Dai Yao turned back in horror, thinking that his grandmother was going to sell him off: "Grandma, don't sell him off."
Chen Tang touched his head: "Don't be afraid, we are not going to sell you out, we are your father's friends."
When Dai Yao heard that it was his father's friend, his little head was a little confused because he didn't remember that he had a father and a mother.
Zhang Tiancao over there was still cursing.
The eldest son of the Dai family said angrily, "That's enough, stop howling."
He lit a cigarette with his calloused hands, squatted at the door and asked, "Are you going to take Dai Yao away?"
Dai Yao is a gold nugget. When Dai Sheng's friends come to visit him, they will dress Dai Yao in good clothes and then teach him that the Dai family treats him very well. Dai Sheng's comrades will send him some money from time to time.
Besides, they were able to build such a big house with his father's pension.
What would happen to the pension if he was taken away?
They've spent half of it.
Chen Tang said, "Of course we have to take him away. Dai Yao is the son of a martyr, but you don't even give him food to eat. At such a young age, he has to do all kinds of housework and go up the mountain to cut grass. Do you treat him as your nephew?"
"You took the pension but didn't raise the child properly. If it's reported, it will be enough to put you in the bullpen!"
Zhang Tiancao was so frightened by her words that his legs went limp and he sat down on the ground without noticing.
Uncle Dai was not easy to ignore. He stared at Chen Tang fiercely and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, Yaoyao? Tell him, did your uncle abuse you?"
Chen Tang interrupted him: "Let me remind you, you are threatening an ignorant child, and a child of a martyr, you have made a mistake!"
Uncle Dai's eyes were filled with panic. Those who usually came to see Dai Yao would feel relieved when they heard Dai Yao say good things about him. Why was this woman so aggressive!
Seeing someone looking outside, Chen Tang asked loudly, "Aunts, could you please help me call the village chief over?"
There were many people who disliked the Dai family, especially since Dai Yao was just a child. The aunt of Dai's neighbor immediately went to call the village chief.
The villagers who were watching secretly just now didn't even hide, and just lay on the wall to watch the show.
