Chapter 17 Do you have the right to educate your children?
There is only one quota for studying in Beijing among the battalion commanders. Everyone knows that whoever goes to study will have the greatest chance of promotion.
Obviously, her husband is older than Gu Huai and has more experience than him, but the superiors arranged for Gu Huai to study.
But when the arrangements were made by the higher-ups, Gu Huai got divorced.
She originally thought that she couldn't take care of four children at home, so he definitely wouldn't have the chance to go, and it was a foregone conclusion that her son, Mr. Huang, would go to study.
Unexpectedly, Captain Gu quickly married another wife, and the one who went to Beijing to study in the end was still him, Gu Huai.
Liu Qin felt unhappy, always feeling that Gu Huai had snatched away her man's opportunity.
It is inevitable to make some sarcastic remarks and laugh at the Gu family.
Yu Hui just watched everyone blaming her quietly, not panicking at all.
Seeing that she was not panicking, everyone just thought she was a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"Director Sun is here." Someone said this, and the people blocking the hospital gate all made way.
After Sun Tieying came in, he first looked at the situation and finally set his eyes on Yu Hui.
He frowned and said, "Xiao Yu, I thought you had changed this morning and would treat the children well, but I didn't expect you to return to your old ways in the afternoon..."
"Director Sun, what idioms are you talking about with Xiaoyu? She doesn't understand." Liu Qin interrupted Director Sun.
Gu Huai is a battalion commander, but he married a wife who can't even read. It's really hilarious.
In her opinion, Gu Huai married such an illiterate wife to take care of the children at home just to go to Beijing to study.
Yu Hui glanced at Liu Qin coldly, but did not miss the sarcasm in her eyes.
"Mama~Mama~" Beibei was crying and hiccuping. His body leaned towards Yu Hui and he opened his arms for her to hold him.
Yu Hui stood up to hug Beibei, but she turned her body to the side and looked at her with a bad look, not daring to give Beibei to her.
"Mah~" Beibei cried in a shrill voice, his voice hoarse.
"Mom..." Gu Xixi let go of Zhao Chunhong's hand, walked to her stepmother and hugged her legs.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.
Someone whispered, "If this child gets beaten by Xiao Yu, can he still find Xiao Yu?"
“…”
Anyway, if I hit or scold my child, he will definitely stay away from me.
"Give it to me." Yu Hui said to Zhao Chunhong.
Zhao Chunhong glanced at Beibei who was struggling in her arms, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed her over to Yu Hui.
"Wow, mommy..." As soon as Beibei was in Yu Hui's arms, he hugged her neck tightly, with his wet little face pressed against her neck.
Yu Hui used the bib pinned to Beibei's collar to wipe the tears and snot from her face, and while wiping, she coaxed her softly, "Oh, oh, Beibei, be good. It's okay, it's okay. Mommy is here."
"Woo..." Beibei felt safe and sobbed twice in her stepmother's arms, then stopped crying.
Seeing that Beibei stopped crying in Yu Hui's arms, Director Sun and the others fell silent.
"Xiao Yu, what you did today was too much. How can you hit a child? Since I, the director of the Women's Department, refuse to listen to you, I have no choice but to report to the leaders of the military region and let them handle it." Director Sun looked at Yu Hui sternly.
Yu Hui shook her head and chuckled.
"Director Sun, look..." Liu Qin pointed at Yu Hui, "She's still smiling. It's clear that she doesn't take you seriously, nor does she take the leadership of our military region seriously."
Director Sun was very angry, "Xiao Yu, your attitude is very problematic!"
"Is it my attitude that's the problem?" Yu Hui sneered, "It's obviously your attitude in handling things that's the problem, Director Sun."
Sun Tieying frowned, looking as if saying, "How could there be a problem with my attitude in handling things?"
"In the old society, officials would also ask about the cause and effect when sentencing someone. But what about you? Have you ever asked about the cause and effect? Have you ever asked me what happened? Have you ever asked the children..."
"Do you even need to ask?" Wang Tiaohua said, spreading her hands. "Isn't this obvious? The children are crying like this, and the brothers Gu Dong and Gu Nan are both shouting, 'Are you going to kill someone?'"
"Did I beat them to death?" Yu Hui pointed at Gu Dong and Gu Nan.
Liu Qin said: "If we hadn't arrived in time, there would be no guarantee."
"Xixi, why are you crying?" Yu Hui lowered her head and asked Gu Xixi, who had wiped the tears from her face.
Gu Xixi sniffed, "I can't coax Beibei, and mom beats big brother. I don't know what to do. I'm scared and I'm crying."
Hearing this, an unnatural look flashed across Liu Qin's face. She had just said that it was Yu Hui, the stepmother, who did something to the child, and that was why the child was crying.
"Why is Beibei crying?"
Beibei, who was being close to his stepmother, looked up at his mother and said incoherently: "Pa pa..."
Gu Xixi thought her stepmother was asking her, "Beibei was frightened and cried by her mother's scream."
"Then why did mom scream?" Yu Hui continued to ask.
Since they believed the children more, she let the children tell them what happened.
"Mom..." Gu Xixi glanced at her eldest brother, then at her mother. She remembered what her father had said: children should be honest. Still, under her second brother's warning eyes, she closed her eyes and said, "Mom was scared by the dead snake that my eldest brother put in the quilt, so she cried."
Dead snake?
Everyone looked at Gu Dong.
Gu Dong lowered his head with a red face. He knew he couldn't deny the responsibility of this matter. After all, the dead snake was still on the bed.
"Gu Dong, did you put a dead snake in your stepmother's bed?" Zhao Chunhong asked with a frown.
Gu Dong did not admit it, but he did not deny it either, which was considered as his tacit agreement.
Zhao Chunhong's face turned red. She felt very embarrassed when she thought of her misunderstanding of Xiao Yu and her attitude towards her just now.
The matter was clear, and those who had accused Yu Hui all looked a little embarrassed.
The most embarrassed person was Sun Tieying.
"Director Sun, I just want to ask you one question. As Gu Huai's wife and Gu Dong's stepmother, if Gu Huai is not at home and the children do something wrong, do I, as their stepmother, have the right to educate them?"
Sun Tieying's lips moved, "Yes."
Stepmothers and biological mothers are both mothers. As long as they are mothers, they can educate children.
"If that's the case, shouldn't I teach him a lesson if he put a snake in my bed?"
"He used to put bugs in my bed all the time, and I ignored him. But today he put a dead snake in my bed. If I don't teach him a lesson, won't he put a live snake in my bed tomorrow?"
Gu Dong looked up and glared at his stepmother. He would never release a live snake. Live snakes would bite people, and he might be bitten too.
Sun Tieying took a deep breath and said, "Gu Dong did something wrong today. He deserves a beating, but you have to know when to stop."
Yu Hui spread out her right hand and said, "I spanked Gu Dong with this hand. I didn't even use a feather duster. I just slapped him with my bare hands. My palm didn't even turn red."
"Seeing is believing, why don't you pull down Gu Dong's pants and see how cruel I, as his stepmother, am and how badly I beat him."
Wang Tiaohua: “…”
This is my point.
