Because he felt that since he helped his older son raise his child, he should help his younger son raise his child as well. This was only fair.
But, grandpa raised them back then because they had no parents left, only grandpa, and he was still in good health at that time.
But it’s not possible now. My grandfather is over ten years old and is disabled, which brings all kinds of difficulties.
He could support his grandson, but he really didn't have the ability to pick him up and drop him off every thirty miles, so he could only arrange for him to transfer to another school.
Principal Liu's face turned green after hearing this, and he turned to look at Xie Zhili.
Xie Zhili's face turned pale and he was stared at by the principal, unable to speak a word.
"Is that so?"
“This…this…” He stuttered.
"Humph, Xie Zhili, Xie teacher. As teachers, we cannot be without basic morals. You take advantage of me? I am an orphan and my grandfather raised me. You take advantage of me. What kind of teacher are you? How can you teach and educate people with your ideological awareness?"
As the saying goes, there is always someone stronger than you. Chief Liu scolded Xie Zhili with a dark face, but Xie Zhili didn't dare to say a word.
Normally, he would have jumped up long ago.
"Principal, I am wrong. I will go and get Xiaowen back right away."
"Humph, not only do you want to bring the child back, you also have to support the old man. Whoever takes care of the grandson has to take care of him in his old age, that's bullshit. He raised you when you were a child, and you take care of him when he's old. You're repaying him for the kindness he showed you when you were a child, not for the kindness he showed you when he didn't take care of your child. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I will definitely change."
"Hmph, write a 3,000-word self-review."
"Yes, I'll write it when I get back."
This attitude of admitting mistakes is extremely good.
Xie Zhili thought that was enough.
At this time, Xie Linan said, "Principal Liu, I'm afraid Xiaowen is not willing."
Um?
"What do you mean?"
"The child was beaten and chased away by them. When he came to our house, his body was covered with bruises."
Um?
Principal Liu stared at Xie Zhili.
Xie Zhili began to sweat coldly, and he took off his glasses and wiped them.
Xie Linan said, "How about this? I'll go get Xiaowen and Principal Liu will listen to the child's opinion."
Principal Liu nodded and said, "That's fine. I'll arrange a car for you."
"No, no, I'll drive quickly."
On this road at that time, motorcycles were indeed more convenient and faster than four-wheeled vehicles. In just over an hour, Xie Linan picked up Xie Wen.
When Xie Zhili saw him, he quickly opened his arms to hug him.
However, Xie Wen took a few steps back and hid behind Xie Lin'an.
Xie Zhili was anxious and sad. "Xiao Wen, what are you doing? How come you have been playing at Grandpa's house for more than a month and you are already unfamiliar with your father? Come here quickly, I will take you to the classroom for class."
Xie Wen shook his head and said, "I'm not going. I'm here to transfer to another school."
Xie Zhili: “…”
"Which school are you transferring to, kid? Wangxiang Primary School is the best primary school here."
"You said you wouldn't love me anymore, so you told me to go with Grandpa. If you don't love me anymore, I won't love you anymore."
"I..." Xie Zhili said angrily, "Nonsense, why would Dad not love you? Dad was just saying that in anger, just joking."
"I'm not saying this in anger, I'm serious."
Xie Zhili: “…”
"Anyway, I won't follow you guys anymore. I'm with Grandpa and I'm transferring to another school."
Xie Linan looked at Principal Liu helplessly.
See? It's not that I don't agree, it's that the kid himself doesn't agree to stay.
Xie Zhili was furious. "You stupid kid, you're not listening anymore, are you? I think you're asking for a beating."
Xie Wen quickly hid behind Xie Lin'an.
Principal Liu watched half of the show and shouted, "Thank you, teacher. That's enough."
When Xie Zhili heard the principal's words, he was like a mouse hearing a cat and dared not say a word.
"Xiao Wen, tell me what happened. Tell me the truth. If it is indeed your father who is wrong, I will help you transfer to another school."
The child is afraid of the teacher and the principal. He dare not keep silent or lie in front of the principal.
Xie Wen revealed everything that Xie Linan and the others had never been able to find out in front of the principal.
It turned out that Xie Zhili and his wife were talking about harvesting wheat. Li Mei wanted to be thick-skinned and went to help them harvest the wheat so that she could carry two bags of flour when she left.
But Xie Zhili felt that he might be working in vain and getting nothing in return, so he was unwilling to do it.
Li Mei complained to him that there was no rice at home. She didn't get any rice last year, and she didn't get any noodles either. As a result, she had to buy rice and noodles herself all year round.
What do you mean by half-grown boy, eating up the old man? There are two half-grown boys in their family, and one of her meals is not even enough to cover their meal.
The food coupons at home were all gone, and the money was expensive to buy, so there was no way to save any money.
What can they do with their little money? Even if they buy a big house, they don't know when it will happen.
What if I don't buy it?
The eldest son has already said that when he gets married in a few years, where will he live?
Do I have to live in the upper and lower floors with my wife?
Li Mei complained about various problems for a while, and then the two of them started arguing.
After the quarrel, the two of them decided to let their brothers go with their grandfather.
It is said that a grandfather should not be partial to one child over another. Since Lin Xinghua brought up Xie Linan and the others, he should be responsible for bringing up Xie Linchuan and Xie Wen as well.
Xie Linchuan has grown up and knows that no one in his hometown likes him. Besides, it is almost the busy farming season and there is a lot of work to do in his hometown. Would such a strong man like him be allowed to play when he goes there?
He must be doing the same job as Xie Linli and Xie Linqi, but he was unwilling to go, saying that he would study at home and strive to get into a good school and find a good job with an apartment in the future.
He can no longer rely on his parents to improve his housing, he has to rely on himself.
The couple thought it made sense. Their eldest son was about to enter the third year of junior high school, which was a heavy burden.
So he set his sights on his youngest son.
When the younger son saw that his elder brothers were not going, he also decided not to go.
Xie Zhili and the other man tried to persuade him to go with all kinds of nice words.
He refused to listen and accused them of taking advantage of others.
It is wrong to say that they do not provide support for their grandfather and are even relying on him for support.
At his age, the school had just taught a lot of stories about respecting the elderly and loving the young and being grateful.
When he got home, he found that nothing about his parents matched.
He used examples from the book to criticize Xie Zhili and Li Mei.
This irritated Xie Zhili and his wife, and they escalated into a quarrel. They beat the child, said some cruel words after the beating, and kicked him out.
Xie Wen then left home crying and went all the way to his hometown in the countryside to look for Lin Xinghua and the others.
After hearing what he said, the principal was very angry.
"I didn't even know that there were people like you with corrupt morals in our school. You are unworthy of being a teacher, a father, and a son."
Xie Zhili was terrified, "Principal, Principal, you can't trust what children say. It's not like that."
"Oh, it's not like this, then what is it like?"
"This... this..."
"Can he still frame you with such a big kid?"
The principal knew very well that Xie Wen would not dare to lie in front of him.
