Chapter 280
As soon as Shen Shun returned home, Chen Guifeng noticed the wound on his forehead.
"How did you get the wound on your forehead?" Chen Guifeng grabbed Shen Shun and asked sternly.
Shen Shun subconsciously raised his hand to touch it, and he hissed in pain. "Liang Tianxiong saw Fan Hua and I eating sugar-roasted chestnuts and asked me to give him some. When I refused, he threw stones at me. This injury was caused by him throwing stones."
Shen Shun rolled up his sleeves again and showed Chen Guifeng the scratches on his arms: "These wounds were also caused by him."
Shen Yao said coldly: "You can't even beat a little brat?"
"It's not that I can't beat him! I just think he's young and it's not right to argue with him. If I really hit him hard, people will say I'm bullying a child!" Shen Shun defended himself.
He really thought so. Otherwise, if he were to fight a real fight with a little brat like Leung Tin-hung, Leung Tin-hung would not be his opponent.
"If he wants to eat, just give him a few." Shen Kang said.
"Brother, you don't know how annoying Liang Tianxiong is! He told me in an imperative tone that he wanted to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts and asked me to give them to him. If his tone had been a little better, I would definitely have given him a few. I don't owe him anything, so what right does he have to order me to share the sugar-roasted chestnuts with him?" Shen Shun said.
Ye Fuyue nodded: "That's right. We don't need these sugar-roasted chestnuts, but the other party's tone makes me unhappy. Why should I give it to him?"
Chen Shun looked at Ye Fuyue, as if he had found a soulmate, and nodded rapidly.
"Brother, you might not know this, but Liang Tianxiong is truly annoying. There's no other kid in this compound who's more annoying than him," Ye Fuyue said. "He even threw stones at me before and wiped his snot on Wu Zhenzhen's clothes. He's bullied and teased anyone in this compound who looks kind, whether they're adults or children. His family never cares about him and thinks we adults shouldn't bother with a child."
Although Shen Kang had been back from the countryside for more than half a year, he didn't interact much with the people in the compound. He had heard that Liang Tianxiong was not a likable kid, but he didn't know that Liang Tianxiong could be so unlikable.
Chen Guifeng was distressed and angry, and pulled Shen Shun and said, "Let's go find your Aunt Liang and ask for an explanation! It's unreasonable to rob someone without giving them something!"
Shen Shun was reluctant to go: “Mom, it’s just a small matter, Liang Tianxiong is still a little kid, you come forward for me, do I still have face.”
"If you want to save face, don't let a little brat hurt you! Look at the wound on your forehead, it's red and swollen, and there are bloodstains. Liang Tianxiong robbed my family's things, why should my family members be hurt by him. If he didn't hurt you, I could really let it go. But he hurt you, even if the other party is a little brat, I want justice!" Chen Guifeng said.
"Mom, I'll go with you. Except for Cui Li, everyone in Aunt Liang's family is unreasonable." Ye Fuyue said.
She was afraid that Chen Guifeng would suffer a loss, and having more people would make them more powerful.
Seeing Ye Fuyue say this, Shen Shun could only follow her reluctantly.
A group of three came to the Liang family and knocked on the door. It was Cui Li who opened the door.
Cui Li was stunned when she saw Chen Guifeng, who looked unhappy. She asked, "Aunt Chen, Fu Yue, what's going on?"
"Cui Li, are your mother-in-law and Liang Tianxiong at home? Ask them to come out, I have something to say to them." Chen Guifeng was not talking about the person, but the matter. When facing Cui Li, her tone was still somewhat gentle.
At this time, Liang's father and Liang Nan were also at home, and the family was having lunch.
After hearing what Chen Guifeng said, Aunt Liang came out and said in a gloomy tone, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Chen Guifeng saw Aunt Liang and pulled over Shen Shun, who was hiding at the back. Pointing at the wound on Shen Shun's forehead, she said to Aunt Liang, "Are you so poor that you don't even have money to buy sugar-roasted chestnuts for your grandson? Liang Tianxiong saw Shen Shun eating sugar-roasted chestnuts and asked for some. When Shen Shun refused, he threw a stone at Shen Shun, leaving his forehead like this. Shen Shun knew he was just a child and didn't argue with him, but as a mother, I don't care whether the other party is a child or not. I only know that my child is sensible and reasonable, but he was injured by an unreasonable child."
Aunt Liang stared blankly at the wound on Shen Shun's forehead, feeling something was wrong.
Cui Li was the first to react and said, "Tianxiong said that Chen Shun gave him sugar-roasted chestnuts. He even brought the sugar-roasted chestnuts back and shared them with my mother-in-law."
"Auntie, I didn't give Liang Tianxiong sugar-roasted chestnuts to eat. When I didn't give them to him, he snatched them away and kicked and scratched me. When he didn't get them, he threw stones at me." Shen Shun said.
"Tianxiong, come here--" Cui Li shouted.
Liang Tianxiong was reluctant to go over and just sat in his chair without moving.
Cui Li asked him loudly, "Who gave you the sugar-roasted chestnuts you brought back?"
Liang Nan and his father also knew about the sugar-roasted chestnuts because when they came home from work, Liang Tianxiong was sharing the sugar-roasted chestnuts with Aunt Liang.
Liang Nan and Liang's father asked Liang Tianxiong where the sugar-roasted chestnuts came from, and Liang Tianxiong said that Shen Shun gave them to him. Hearing this, Liang Nan and Liang's father said nothing more.
At this moment, Shen Shun denied it himself.
Liang Nan asked Liang Tianxiong sharply: "Where did the sugar-roasted chestnuts come from?"
Liang Tianxiong lowered his head and picked at the rice grains without saying a word.
"Did you steal money from home again and buy sugar-roasted chestnuts?" Liang Nan only thought of this possibility.
Liang Tianxiong remained silent.
Liang Nan was furious. In his opinion, Liang Tianxiong's silence meant that he agreed.
He threw the chopsticks at Liang Tianxiong's face and said angrily, "Did I not beat you enough last time? You are still so dirty! You stole money from home again. Are you going to have less food or clothes at home?"
After Liang Nan finished cursing, he slapped Liang Tianxiong in the face.
Liang Tianxiong was slapped so hard that his body swayed left and right and he almost fell off his chair.
He cried loudly, frightened by Liang Nan's slap, and said, "I didn't steal the money!"
"If you didn't steal the money, where did the sugar-roasted chestnuts come from? Are you trying to lie again?" Liang Nan's face was full of anger, and his voice was terribly gloomy.
Liang Tianxiong shrank back and could only tell the truth: "Grandpa Chen bought it for me!"
After that, the room was silent.
Cui Li suddenly realized what was going on, but said anxiously, "You're lying again, aren't you? Stop lying!"
Liang Tianxiong stared at Cui Li with tears on his face: "I didn't lie, it was Grandpa Chen who bought it for me! He saw Shen Shun bullying me, so he took me to buy sugar-roasted chestnuts!"
"When did I bully you? It was you who stole my sugar-roasted chestnuts first." Shen Shun retorted quickly.
However, the Liang family now had no intention of listening to what he was saying, because this matter was no longer the point.
