Chapter 416 Oddities
She didn't want Zhang Weihong to overthink things, so she told her the whole story. Anyway, that's how it was. It was a bit strange, but there was nothing she could do. She never expected the two children to be so persistent. They even went to Zhang Weihong's yard to wait for her.
That's pretty bizarre.
After hearing this, Zhang Weihong thought it was quite normal.
She calmly said, "Children are all normal. They are just full of curiosity about the world. Wang Xiaojian asked me the same question. I told him that I picked him up from the cesspool, and he actually believed it. For a while, I felt like he was always wandering around outside the cesspool, just trying to see if there were any children inside. It was hilarious."
Shen Zhixia: "..."
I don't know what to say.
Zhang Weihong continued, "But one day, he suddenly had a whimsical idea and wanted to go into the cesspool to see what it was like inside. We were speechless and stopped him."
“Otherwise, I don’t want to see him covered in dung; it’s a rare treat for me to clean him up.”
Shen Zhixia said, "He was probably joking. No normal person would go into a cesspool."
That place was filthy and smelly; no normal person would go in to take a look.
Even if Wang Xiaojian really said such a thing, Shen Zhixia thought he was joking and it couldn't possibly be true.
Zhang Weihong said with a serious expression, "No, he really is capable of doing such a thing. You don't know, if I hadn't stopped him, he would have jumped in."
Shen Zhixia: "?"
She still felt it was unlikely.
Would anyone actually go to a place like that?
Zhang Weihong spat and said, "You don't know, Wang Xiaojian is capable of doing such things. I used to suspect that he might have an IQ problem, but he behaves normally in other things, so his IQ should be fine. But sometimes the things he does are just incomprehensible."
She then went on to recount a bunch of the awful things Wang Xiaojian had done.
“Back then, he stole ten yuan from me to buy candy. I kept my money in a mess at the time and didn’t notice at all. After he bought the candy, he had a bunch of change left over, so he put that bunch of change back into my wallet. When I saw that I had so much change, I naturally became suspicious. After asking him, I found out that he had stolen my money.”
Zhang Weihong felt both angry and amused: "So look at what he did, isn't it hilarious? If he wanted to steal money, then he should have just stolen it all. Why did he have to return so much? He was exposed right away."
“This child has never been very bright, so his grades aren’t very good right now. I’m really worried about his grades. But when I asked his teacher, the teacher said that he is quite smart, but he just doesn’t put his mind to his studies.”
Zhang Weihong complained a lot about Wang Xiaojian, her tone full of disdain. During this process, Shen Zhixia just listened and occasionally gave some responses, but she didn't say a word of disdain for Wang Xiaojian. On the contrary, Shen Zhixia would occasionally praise Wang Xiaojian.
After all, Zhang Weihong could freely criticize Wang Xiaojian, but as an outsider, she couldn't. If she also disliked Wang Xiaojian, it would definitely make Zhang Weihong feel uncomfortable.
So naturally, she wouldn't do something like that.
Zhang Weihong said a lot, and felt relieved: "Sister, you can rest assured that your two children are playing in my yard. They are safe here and nothing will happen to them. I will take good care of them."
Shen Zhixia nodded and said, "I am very relieved that they are with you. I feel very lucky to have you helping me take care of the children. It is also a lucky thing to have met you."
Zhang Weihong blushed as she listened: "Sister, you're too kind. I think you're a very nice person, and it's a pleasure to know you."
The two chatted for a while longer before Zhang Weihong left.
Shen Zhixia originally thought this was just a small matter. Since they couldn't see any children even if they stayed in the yard, they should just give up.
But she never expected that the two children would cause even bigger trouble.
"Da Bao, Xiao Bao, we haven't seen you these past few days!" Several children came looking for them.
They were already well-acquainted in this circle, and because they were Huo Chenzhou's children, the parents all let their children play with the two children. In short, the two children had a pretty high status.
She's quite popular in the family compound.
Da Bao said seriously, "We're doing something big, you wouldn't understand."
Xiao Bao looked at them and said, "Do you know how you got out?"
"I know, I found it in a ditch."
"No, no, my mother said she found me by the pond."
"No, my dad said he found me in a tree."
Everyone was talking at once, since they had all been found anyway.
Da Bao sneered and said, "No, we found it in the yard."
"ah?"
Da Bao said, "When you have your own house and yard in the future, you can find children and become parents."
“You can find at least two children in the yard.”
Because they were two children, their mother just happened to find them.
They really wanted to have their own yard, but they had nothing, so they could only look at other people's yards.
"So we've been keeping an eye on one child for the past few days."
Upon hearing this, everyone became excited: "Wherever there are children, I want to pick one up too!"
They were excited at the mere thought of finding a child.
"If we go back to our own yard, can we find a child there too?"
"What should I do? My house doesn't have a yard."
Da Bao said, "No, it has to be a yard without children. If there are already children in a yard, then we can't wait. So we have to go to a yard without children now."
Xiao Bao nodded and said, "Then let's set off now. Let's go to the yard where there are no children."
The children thought it made sense, and since someone was leading them, they went door to door.
Although the adults didn't know what they were going to do, they all opened the door.
The children did nothing but play in their yard.
They were quite polite and didn't make a mess of the yard.
However, this behavior is very puzzling.
