On the third and fourth days of the Lunar New Year, the couple prepared to pack up and go home. Xia Ruzheng was in one room, while Wen Zhichao was chatting with someone in another room.
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching cry came from outside. Xia Ruzheng's heart skipped a beat. It was the cry of a baby! He quickly dropped what he was doing and ran out.
I saw the baby lying in the mud, crying loudly.
Xia Ruzheng said, "Baby, get up quickly. If you fall, you must get up on your own. Otherwise, your clothes will only get dirtier. Remember?"
The baby stopped crying and climbed up using his hands and feet. Xia Ruzheng felt distressed. The child had never cried like this in his life. His face was covered with mud and he cried like a little kitten.
Xia Ruzheng held the baby in his arms and wiped the dirt off his face: "Baby, don't cry. Did you fall accidentally?"
A nearby child, perhaps because Xia Ruzheng had given them a good impression these days, bravely came forward to testify, "Wen Lingling pushed her down!"
Several children nearby nodded and said yes!
Wen Lingling immediately retorted: "It wasn't me, she fell down by herself!"
There is no sign of lying, and he covered it up very well. He is worthy of being called the disciple who is better than the master.
Xia Ruzheng believed those children because they were relatively innocent. Only Wen Lingling learned a bad temper from her second sister-in-law. She had long noticed that the little girl was very jealous. As soon as the baby came, she stole all her limelight. The baby had good grades, was pretty, and could talk. Of course, he was much more likable than Wen Lingling.
Moreover, there are no stones or potholes on this ground. How could a baby who walks steadily suddenly fall down?
The man who was talking inside also came out. Wen Zhichao asked, "What's going on?"
Xia Ruzheng said, "It's nothing serious. The kids were having a fight and the baby fell. Lingling, apologize to the baby and we'll forgive you, okay?"
It was Chinese New Year, and it would be bad to make a big fuss. The baby just got it dirty, it wasn't a big deal, and Xia Ruzheng didn't intend to pursue it, so he just wanted her to apologize. Even the baby nodded, but Wen Lingling refused to accept it: "It wasn't me, why should I apologize?"
The second sister-in-law also rushed out: "What? What? Just because rich people can bully us, right?"
Xia Ruzheng was really angry at the mother and daughter and was speechless.
"Bully you? Do I have to bully you? Is my baby uglier than Lingling or does he have poor grades? The baby is young and knows that he should apologize and admit his mistakes when he does something wrong. You adults don't know this? Besides, it wasn't me who said that, nor was it the baby who said that. It was the other children who said that it was Lingling who pushed the baby. Did they collude to bully your eldest child, Lingling? You are so shameless! Don't be shameless!" ◎ Baidu search
When it comes to matters involving children, Xia Ruzheng doesn't want to give in.
Wen Zhichao walked over and picked up a porcelain shard from the ground. Xia Ruzheng was startled. This was where the baby had fallen. If he hadn't been careful, the shard would have scratched his face. How painful would it have been? He might even have left a scar! What a vicious and cruel person! At such a young age!
Xia Ruzheng glared at her angrily, and Wen Lingling was immediately frightened, and her arrogance disappeared.
Wen Zhichao threw away the porcelain shards, glanced at his second sister-in-law and Wen Lingling, and said, "You're so ungrateful and vicious at such a young age. Who knows what you'll be like when you grow up! Zhengzheng, take the baby to get washed. Wen Lingling, apologize to the baby tonight!"
No one stood up to speak at this time, even the second sister-in-law was speechless. Wen Zhichao has been a boss for so many years, and the pressure from the superior is not something that ordinary people can withstand!
Xia Ruzheng held the baby in his arms and comforted him, then took him back to his room to wash and change clothes. Wen Zhichao said, "I just said it before, anyone who works honestly, takes money for work, and repays kindness will certainly enjoy endless benefits. If anyone dares to repay kindness with hatred, I won't let them go!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone trembled. They believed that this white-haired man had such strength! And Wen Lingling, who was hiding in the arms of her second sister-in-law, burst into tears!
