"I'm talking to you. What do you want with Xiaohu?" Cai Qinqin questioned.
Wang Shuncai went straight to the room. The blankets were bulging, clearly indicating that someone was hiding inside.
Wang Shuncai snorted, "So you do have moments of fear. That's really something."
Cai Qinqin followed and also found that Wang Xiaohu had hidden under the covers. She walked to the bedside and reached out to stop Wang Shuncai.
"You're such a grown man, why are you arguing with a child?"
"Wang Xiaohu, get out of bed. I have a few questions for you. If you behave well, I can pretend this never happened. But if you don't behave well, I don't mind giving you a good beating right now."
Wang Xiaohu then pulled the blanket off himself, feeling guilty and not daring to look at Wang Shuncai.
What do you want to know?
"Are you going to take your pants off and pee at Xu Qingmo's house?"
"Yes, that's true, but there's a reason for it. Xu Qingmo's family had good food but wouldn't let me eat it, so of course I had to punish her," Wang Xiaohu said confidently.
Wang Shuncai was immediately enraged. "You brat, who taught you to do this? If they don't give you food, you'll piss on them. What's the difference between you and a bandit!"
Wang Shuncai shouted, and Wang Xiaohu lowered his head guiltily, deliberately hiding behind Cai Qinqin.
Although Cai Qinqin also felt that Wang Xiaohu was wrong, Xu Qingmo's family had so much food, and she always brought home so many good things for the cooks, so it wouldn't hurt to share some with Wang Xiaohu.
They just wouldn't agree to split up, and Wang Xiaohu's extreme behaviors could be forgiven.
"Your words are too hurtful. After all, he is our son, and you are a soldier. How could your son be a bandit?"
“Wang Xiaohu has been spoiled by you to this extent. Now I feel ashamed to go out.” Wang Shuncai blurted out.
Tsai Chin-chin immediately became displeased, "What do you mean by that? What do you mean by spoiling him? Is it wrong for me to be good to my son?"
“It’s okay to be good, but he can’t be spoiled. Look at what kind of person he’s become. Not many kids in the whole compound want to play with him.”
"If no one's playing with you, then play by yourself. Nobody says that not playing with other kids makes you a freak. Don't yell so loudly. Xiaohu has to go to school tomorrow. If you scare him, how will he go to school tomorrow?"
“If someone doesn’t know manners and rules like this, they’ve wasted their time going to school. Get out of my way, I’m going to teach this kid a lesson today.”
Wang Xiaohu was also scared, and reached out to grab Cai Qinqin's clothes, "Mom, please don't leave, Dad will beat me to death."
Tsai Chin-Chin comforted him, "Little Tiger, don't be afraid, I won't let you get beaten up."
Wang Shun called out several times, but Cai Qinqin wouldn't budge. Furious, he pushed Cai Qinqin away, grabbed Wang Xiaohu's arm, pinned him to his lap, pulled down his pants, and slapped his buttocks hard.
The slap was so loud it almost drowned out Wang Xiaohu's sobs.
"Didn't you want to take off your pants to pee? I'll beat your ass until it's ripped off and see if you dare to take off your pants in front of people again."
"Dad, all I wanted was a mouthful of food. If Mom had cooked for me, I wouldn't have gone out to find food because I was hungry, and my cotton pants wouldn't have been burned. Actually, this is also Mom's fault, not just mine."
Cai Qinqin stood there, stunned. Every word Wang Xiaohu said seemed to blame her for something.
According to him, she was also the one who sparked the whole thing.
She now feels like a joke, having always protected Wang Xiaohu, only to be betrayed by him in the end.
"Don't try to pin all the blame on your mother. I know you're up to no good. Your mother stayed by your side when you were in the hospital. You're not blind, you know."
"I was so young, wasn't it only right that my mom visit me in the hospital?"
"Who should be obligated? Nobody should be obligated. We only take care of you because we consider you family. You're not only ungrateful, but you even said such things. I have to teach you a lesson today."
The slaps came incessantly, and Wang Xiaohu was eventually beaten so badly that he didn't dare to lie flat.
He lay on the bed sobbing, shouting at Cai Qinqin, who was standing there in a daze, "Didn't you say you wouldn't let my dad hit me? Why did my dad still hit me? He's definitely not my real mother, all he does is say he's good to me."
Tsai Chin-chin finally reacted; the words "not her biological mother" felt like a thorn stuck in her heart.
She stepped forward, raised her hand, and slapped Wang Xiaohu's buttocks hard several times.
Wang Xiaohu let out another wail.
Cai Qinqin's hands trembled as she hit the phone. She had always been incredibly kind to Wang Xiaohu, but unexpectedly, she ended up being seen as a bad person.
Tsai Chin-Chin closed her eyes, refusing to see how miserable Wang Xiao-Hu was.
Having made up her mind, she left the room.
...
For the next two days, Tsai Chin-Chin ignored Wang Xiao-Hu.
She ignored whatever Wang Xiaohu wanted to eat.
Having no other options, Wang Xiaohu began to complain in the family compound that Cai Qinqin was deliberately abusing him, not giving him enough to eat, not washing his clothes, and even beating his buttocks until they were swollen.
In no time, everyone in the family compound knew that Cai Qinqin's stepmother's true colors had been revealed.
All the good things I did before were a facade.
Hong Lanlan also heard about this gossip in front of everyone. Because of Zhang Ziqian's matter, she and Cai Qinqin had a complete falling out.
Hong Lanlan deliberately waited for Cai Qinqin to come out, and intentionally threw a snowball at her. The snowball hit Cai Qinqin's neck, and the shattered snowflakes got into her clothes, feeling cold and icy.
Hong Lanlan looked at Cai Qinqin triumphantly and said sarcastically, "I've seen a lot of stupid people, but this is the first time I've seen someone as stupid as you. Everyone else is dodging snowballs, but you deliberately used your neck to catch them. That's really interesting."
Cai Qinqin looked up and glared fiercely at Hong Lanlan.
Hong Lanlan was not afraid at all, and teased her in her direction, "What's wrong? Now that everyone has seen your true colors as a stepmother, you don't dare to speak anymore, afraid that others will find out that you've shown your true colors again?"
“Hong Lanlan, you’re really shameless. You seduced my man to give you money. Do you dare tell anyone else about this?” Cai Qinqin still remembers this incident.
She was still seething with anger and felt incredibly frustrated.
As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers immediately perked up.
They gathered together and started gossiping.
"How much truth is there to Tsai Chin-chin's claim that Hung Lan-lan seduced her man to get money?"
"Anyway, there must be a reason why the two of them suddenly fell out."
"Wang Shuncai usually seems quite honest; he shouldn't do something like that."
“Tsai Chin-chin herself said that this kind of thing is quite shameful, so why did she say it on purpose? Doesn’t she feel ashamed?”
"Perhaps he felt wronged and decided he couldn't bear it anymore, so he put many things on the table and said them."
As these rumors grew increasingly outrageous, Hong Lanlan immediately stopped them, shouting, "All of you, shut up!"
