Chapter 48 It's a skill for others to have meat to eat (Seeking monthly votes)
As soon as Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he received a solid slap across the face.
Lu Ting, unable to bear it any longer, attacked Wang Xiaohu.
With his hands tied behind his back, Wang Xiaohu was unable to fight back. He angrily cursed Lu Ting, saying that both his father and mother had died.
He swore at everything he could think of.
Lu Ting punched Wang Xiaohu in the stomach a few more times, making Wang Xiaohu cry.
Even as she cried, she kept cursing Lu Ting for being an orphan.
The sinking of the river separated the two. Wang Xiaohu cried his eyes out, and Cai Qinqin felt heartbroken.
Pointing his finger at Lu Ting's nose, he cursed, "You heartless bastard, what right do you have to hit my son?"
"Wang Xiaohu has no right to insult my parents! He has no right!" Lu Ting's eyes reddened, he gritted his teeth, and tears of grievance welled up in his eyes.
Cai Qinqin was a little embarrassed, but seeing the slap mark on Wang Xiaohu's face, she immediately got angry again.
“Xiao Hu is still young, he doesn’t understand anything. He didn’t mean to scold you. It’s wrong of you to hit him,” Cai Qinqin said, then raised her hand to hit Lu Ting to vent her anger. “You hit my son, so I’ll hit you.”
Cai Qinqin slapped Lu Ting's face, but Wang Jing pulled Lu Ting to her side, and Cai Qinqin's hand missed.
Enraged, Wang Jing retorted to Cai Qinqin, "Lu Ting's parents were martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country. Their children enjoy high-level protection and cannot be beaten at will."
Cai Qinqin was embarrassed, and everyone pointed fingers at her, saying that she had caused a big disaster.
Feeling guilty, she whispered, "Xiaohu was also beaten. Can you give me back my child now?"
"Apologize!" Xu Qingmo still refused to release the person.
Wang Xiaohu was beaten black and blue, but he still clenched his teeth and refused to give in.
Xu Qingmo walked to Wang Xiaohu's side, put her hand on his shoulder, and reminded him again, "Apologize!"
A look of pain appeared on Wang Xiaohu's face, and after a moment he began to apologize.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I know I was wrong, I'll never take your things again. Please let me go, it's hot, it's hot..."
Xu Qingmo withdrew her hand and let Cai Qinqin take the person away.
Fearing they might change their minds, Cai Qinqin took Wang Xiaohu away without even untying the ropes.
The onlookers finally got their revenge.
Someone noticed the blackfish and wild rabbit, and their eyes lit up. "Chenjiang, now that he has a wife and daughter, his meals have improved. It's truly enviable."
"It's not easy for this old bachelor to find a beautiful wife, so he'll definitely take good care of her."
“I remember it clearly. Half a year ago, someone wanted to introduce Shen Jiang to a potential partner. He said he wasn’t thinking about marriage and wanted to focus on his work first. It turns out he already had someone in mind.”
"Alright, stop teasing me. It's getting late, everyone should go home." Shen Jiang was a little embarrassed by what they said.
On the battlefield, he could face the enemy without even flinching, but in the family compound, he would still feel embarrassed when teased by familiar people.
Everyone went home and started preparing dinner.
A few hungry people circled around halfway and then peered through Shen Jiang's window, waiting to smell the aroma of meat.
Shen Jiang cleaned the blackfish and prepared to stew fish soup for Xu Qingmo and the others. He also cleaned the rabbit and, after confirming that Xu Qingmo and Lu Ting could handle spicy food, stir-fried the rabbit meat with chili peppers.
He also made some steamed buns and corn porridge. Lu Ting went into the kitchen as if nothing had happened and helped carry the bowls and chopsticks.
The enticing aroma wafting from the house tempted the children outside the window.
They licked their lips and swallowed hard.
When Company Commander Wang brought Wang Xiaohu over, he happened to see several children peering out the window and asked sternly, "Why aren't you home at night? What are you doing here?"
The children were frightened and ran away, reluctant to leave.
Before leaving, he deliberately took a deep sniff of the meaty aroma.
Wang Xiaohu suddenly smelled the aroma of meat and became alert. "Meat, it smells like meat! Dad, I told you, Uncle Shen's family is having meat tonight. You didn't believe me and even threatened to spank me. I'm so upset!"
Wang Xiaohu's buttocks had already been slapped several times by Company Commander Wang, and they were still burning with pain.
He was already wearing very little clothing in the summer, and Company Commander Wang pulled down his pants and beat him. Now, his butt hurts with every step he takes.
But Wang Xiaohu dared not cry, and could only sob softly.
“It’s Shenjiang’s family’s ability to eat meat, what’s it to you? You’ve caused such a big commotion today, if Shenjiang doesn’t forgive you, I’m done with you.”
Wang Xiaohu was initially scared, but then he thought that he might be abandoned by the Shenjiang family. Xu Qingmo was so good at catching fish and wild rabbits, so he would also have meat to eat in the future.
He immediately became happy again.
"Dad, just leave me here. Uncle Shen definitely won't let me go hungry."
"What, did I starve you at home?"
"You didn't let me go hungry, but the food at home isn't as good as Uncle Shen's." Wang Xiaohu was already dreaming of staying at Shen Jiang's house.
Company Commander Wang dragged him through the door by the ear, and as they walked, Wang Shuncai spoke to Shen Jiang and the others inside.
"Commander Shen, I've brought the disobedient Xiao Hu. You can punish him however you like. This kid is quite resilient now and needs to be taught a lesson." Wang Shun pushed Wang Xiao Hu into the house.
Wang Xiaohu was initially a little scared, but when he looked up and saw the food on the table, he swallowed hard, his mouth watering.
"Uncle Chen, your food smells so good! Can I eat at your house?" Wang Xiaohu asked earnestly.
Lu Ting said, "There are no bowls or chopsticks for you here, so you can't eat."
Wang Xiaohu: "It's okay, I can go home and get the bowls and chopsticks."
"Wang Xiaohu!" Wang Shuncai saw Wang Xiaohu turn around and go home, and flicked him on the head with force. Wang Xiaohu immediately covered his head and pouted.
"They won't even let me eat a bite now, I might as well just starve to death." Wang Xiaohu plopped down on the ground and started thrashing about.
Shen Jiang looked displeased. "If you want to disturb our family's meal, you can go back now."
Wang Shuncai quickly said no, grabbed Wang Xiaohu by the ear and made him stand up, and warned him not to cry.
Wang Xiaohu glanced at the meat and vegetables on the table and cautiously asked Wang Shuncai, "Dad, can I eat if I behave?"
"Eat at home."
"Wah..." Wang Xiaohu pouted and started crying again.
Xu Qingmo picked at her ears in disgust. "It's so noisy, I don't even want to eat."
Wang Jing reminded Wang Shuncai, "Excuse me, we're having lunch right now. We've already dealt with the issues that needed to be resolved during the day, and there's nothing else to do. You can go now."
Wang Shuncai wanted to say something more, but Shen Jiang also gave him the order to leave.
Wang Shuncai apologized to Lu Ting, "I'm so sorry, Xiao Hu said something he shouldn't have. I've already disciplined him when I got home, and he won't say hurtful things again."
"What hurtful things did you say? I was telling the truth, Lu Ting..."
With a "slap," Wang Shuncai slapped Wang Xiaohu and dragged him away from Shenjiang's house by the ear.
