Chapter 359 Accept, but do not forgive
"Don't even think about leaving if you don't apologize today!" Lele grabbed Zhao Rui's arm. Zhao Rui didn't know why a five-year-old child was so strong.
"Ah! Let me go first." Zhao Rui was grabbed by the arms by two people and immediately struggled, "My hand hurts."
"Let my sister go first." Zhao Chi became anxious when he saw Zhao Rui crying out in pain.
"My sister is still in pain. Look at what happened to her hand?" An An held Ning Ning's hand and came out. There were several red marks on her white and tender hand, which was already swollen. "And on her legs."
Zhao Chi looked at the little girl in front of him with tears on her face and was speechless, "Zhao Rui, apologize!"
Zhao Rui was spoiled when she grew up at home. In addition, she has a brother who is a leader among children. She is almost the default leader among the girls.
It would be too embarrassing to apologize in front of so many kids now. How would I be able to get along with my friends in the future?
Zhao Rui refused to apologize, and Lele was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. When the two groups were about to fight, they heard a clear voice.
"Where's Lele?"
"Mom!" Ningning, who had stopped crying, burst into tears when she heard Lin Xia's voice.
The crowd made way, and Lin Xia saw Ningning's tearful face. Not only was her skirt covered in dust, but her two white and tender hands had red scratches from abrasions, and her two knees were covered in dust, with two blood marks on them.
"How did this happen?" Lin Xia touched the little guy's head with heartache, looked at An An and asked.
An An felt very guilty for not taking good care of her sister. She pointed her finger at Zhao Rui and told her what had happened.
Only then did Lin Xia see that Lele was still holding onto Zhao Rui. She was cooking upstairs when she suddenly heard Xiaojun calling her and saying that there was a fight downstairs. She thought it was Lele fighting with someone, but when she went downstairs she saw a group of children gathered together.
Lin Xia comforted Ningning in her arms and was about to speak when she suddenly heard several shouts from upstairs.
“It’s time to eat!”
It turned out to be time for dinner. When they shouted, all the children around ran away immediately.
"They are playing games, why are you pulling the rope?" Lin Xia looked at Zhao Rui and asked softly since there were few people around.
The woman's voice was very gentle. Zhao Rui bit her lip and didn't want to talk.
"You can only leave if you apologize to my daughter."
"Auntie, I apologize to this child on behalf of my sister." Zhao Chi stood in front of Zhao Rui and bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry."
Ningning leaned against Lin Xia, her little hands were in so much pain that she couldn't even hold her mother's hands. She turned her head away when her older brother apologized.
Ningning is a sensible child. She is unwilling to accept someone else's apology on her behalf. Lin Xia will not force a child to forgive her. "As an adult, I am embarrassed to embarrass you. We accept your apology, but we do not forgive you."
Lin Xia looked at the boy in front of her. She was the only parent there, so she couldn't let the children fight. The boy in front of her did understand the reason, but the person who did something wrong was Zhao Rui. She was not her parent, and she didn't want to take care of someone else's child.
Zhao Chi's face flushed red and he felt extremely embarrassed. He turned to look at his sister behind him, and saw that she still didn't feel that she was wrong, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, I will teach her when I get back." Zhao Chi apologized embarrassedly.
At this time, a group of people walked into the yard. They were the men who had returned home from the camp to eat.
Lu Yuxiu spotted his wife not far away and strode over. Seeing the confrontation between the two people, he asked in a gentle voice, "What's wrong?"
"Dad! Someone is bullying Ningning!" Lele saw his father and was the first to complain.
Seeing the traces of tears on Ningning's little face, Lu Yuxiu frowned and squatted down to hug his daughter.
"Daddy, wuwuwu..." Ningning's emotions had originally stabilized, but when she saw someone feeling distressed, she couldn't help but started crying again.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yuxiu asked Lin Xia while holding his daughter. However, the matter had just been resolved, but it was not resolved yet. Lin Xia did not want the two adults to embarrass the child here, so she winked at Lu Yuxiu and said, "The meal is ready at home, let's go home and eat."
After that, he looked at the three brothers and sisters of Da Jun and said, "You can also come to our house for dinner with us."
Xiaojun was tempted, but Dajun was already a grown-up boy and knew how to save face, so he politely refused, "Thank you, Aunt Lin. My mother has prepared dinner at home. We'll go back first." After that, he trotted home with his younger brother and sister.
Lin Xia looked at the Zhao brothers and sisters again, "You should go home and have dinner too."
Although the other party did not make things difficult for him, Zhao Chi still felt embarrassed. He reached out and pulled his sister, who was unwilling to apologize, towards home.
Zhao Rui felt her brother's rude strength and cried out in pain, "Brother, go slower, it hurts."
Now Zhao Chi just wants to take his sister back home and give her a good lesson.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Lin Xia told the whole story and then comforted the little one who was still sobbing, "Ningning, be brave. If there is anything you want to eat, mom will make it for you, okay?"
"An An and Le Le both protect their sister. They are great and brave. Mommy will do the same for you." Lin Xia held An An's hand with one hand and Le Le's with the other, and gently comforted them.
"Give it all to my sister!" An An was feeling a little depressed. Thinking of Zhao Rui who had never apologized, she secretly made a note of this.
"Tell mom what you want to eat?" Lin Xia looked at her pitiful little daughter.
Ningning sobbed and her little body was still shaking. She said softly, "I want to eat braised pork!"
"Okay! I'll make braised pork tomorrow!" Lin Xia agreed immediately. The little guy wiped his tears with satisfaction. The dust on his hands had not been wiped clean yet, and he immediately turned into a little cat.
When they got home, Lu Yuxiu took over cooking while Lin Xia treated the little guy's wounds, wiped off the dust on his body, changed his clothes, and then applied medicine on his hands.
Fortunately, he was short and only had a small scratch on his face when he fell to the ground. The wound had begun to scab over and no blood was oozing out.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, right?" Lin Xia blew gently a few times and applied some iodine on the child.
After dinner, the three children went to their rooms. Lin Xia then told Lu Yuxiu what had just happened. "I don't know whose child it was, but the little girl just refused to admit it. I can't be an adult bullying a child."
The most important thing is that the little boy knew the truth and apologized proactively. If both of them were the same, she would still go to his house.
Lin Xia had to comfort herself that it was normal for children to bump into things while playing, and she had fallen down in the family quarters before, but she just fell down when she was playing.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuxiu was thinking about who else with the surname Zhao. He had just arrived here and his comrades all knew him, but he couldn't figure out whose family the children in the family compound belonged to. Thinking about the two children just walking towards the building where Song Yu lived, he thought about asking Song Yu later if he knew.
Adults cannot argue with children, but it is much easier for adults to talk to each other.
Zhao Chi took his sister home. There was no one at home, so he waited for his father to come home.
Hearing the noise coming from the door, Zhao Chi stood up and went over to greet him, "Zhao Rui got into trouble outside today."
Captain Zhao put down the lunch box in his hand, thinking that his daughter had broken someone else's things again. "The money is in the drawer. You can take whatever you want to pay."
Hearing these familiar words, Zhao Chi was filled with disappointment and stared at his father without saying a word.
