Chapter 42
Being pointed at and scolded, and even involving her parents, Jiang Huihan's temper was not good enough to be so good, and her face turned cold on the spot.
"Please clarify. It was your son who first tried to snatch my brother's things, and my brother fought back. Legally, this is called self-defense, and there is nothing wrong with it. I know you are not well-educated and don't understand the laws of our country. I forgive your ignorance. If you don't believe it, you can go ask someone."
Jiang Suihan stopped Jiang Leyun who wanted to rush forward. The child was like a little beast ready to pounce, his eyes red with anger. No one could say that he had no manners or insult his parents.
After comforting her good brother, Jiang Suihan looked at Wang Liying coldly: "As the saying goes, like mother, like son. Your son speaks harshly and disrespects others. He must have learned it from you, a mother. It is said that parents are the first teachers in their children's lives. They have the greatest influence on their children's growth through words and deeds. You must have said bad things about others at home. Your child has heard so much at home that he naturally learned to speak bad words, be arrogant and unreasonable, and have no manners. You set a very bad example for your son."
Jiang Suihan naturally dislikes the child Li Zili, but she can't say she hates him either. Children are like a blank sheet of paper and don't know anything. Many times they learn from the people closest to them. Their color mainly depends on their parents.
Li Zilii would say things like "burden, freeloader" or even more vicious words like "your parents must be dead". He must have heard similar words from people around him. Sometimes children are kind and innocent, but sometimes they can become very vicious.
Wang Liying's face turned extremely ugly. She only went to elementary school for three years and had no idea about what Jiang Huihan was talking about self-defense, and couldn't tell whether it was true or not.
She refused to bow her head, her neck stiff, "Don't beat around the bush. I'm not as educated as you. My son said he just wanted to borrow your brother's tank to have a look. Children are curious, so what's wrong with that? It was your brother who was stingy and refused to lend it, so my son said a few words to him. Who knew your brother would have such a bad temper at such a young age? He couldn't stand a few jokes and just rushed over to hit people."
"Bah, you still call yourself a scholar. I've only seen tutors like you. You beat someone up but don't apologize. Instead, you ask the person who was beaten to apologize to you. Is there any justice? Don't say I'm wronging you. You must apologize and compensate our family for the losses. My son was scratched by your brother and punched in the stomach several times. He may have internal injuries. You must pay for it."
You beat her son and expect to get away with it. That’s wishful thinking!
If she doesn't apologize or pay compensation, she will sit at the door of Xu's house and cry. She doesn't believe that the Xu family can afford to lose face like this.
Jiang Leyun said loudly, "No, it was Li Zili who stole my little tank. I refused to give it to him, and then he scolded me, saying that I was a burden and a freeloader. He also said that my sister was a traitor and my brother-in-law was a sucker. Li Zili, how dare you say that you didn't say these things?"
He didn't say anything more unpleasant in front of everyone present. He really couldn't say it, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
Being stared at by everyone, Li Zili hid behind Wang Liying with a guilty conscience and whispered, "I, I did say that, but I overheard it. I heard it from my mother at home. It has nothing to do with me."
Wang Liying is a gossiper and sometimes she secretly talks bad about others at home for fun. Li Zilii heard it so many times at home that he naturally remembered it. Children learn from their parents and don't think these words are hurtful.
This unlucky child!
Wang Liying was embarrassed when her son revealed her secret in front of her. She felt lacking in confidence and opened her mouth, trying to defend herself.
At this moment, Wu Guihua rushed over and glared at Wang Liying angrily: "I said you are not good at being a mother. You have corrupted a good child. I will find time to talk to Captain Li later. If you don't pay attention to teach the child well, he will learn bad things in the future. You and your wife will suffer."
She was cooking at home when Zhao Xiaojun ran home covered in mud and sweat, saying that Li Zili bullied Jiang Leyun and he couldn't stand it so he beat him up.
She knew that this naughty child could not be at peace for a moment, and could not help but say a few words to her younger son. She was worried that Wang Liying would go and cause trouble for Xiao Jiang. Xiao Jiang was only a 20-year-old girl, and Xu Zhao was not at home. Wang Liying was a person who would not give in even if she was right, so she would definitely suffer.
Wu Guihua quickly turned off the engine and rushed to Xu's house. She saw Wang Liying at Xu's house. She was indeed here to look for Xiao Jiang. Fortunately, she came. She couldn't let Xiao Jiang suffer alone. After all, her youngest son was also in trouble.
What Wang Liying was most worried about was that Li Hongjun would find out. He was such a straightforward person and could not tolerate any sand in his eyes. If he knew about this, his son would definitely be treated to a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots when he got home. It was very likely that she and her son would be forced to apologize.
The thought of it made her suffocate. She didn't want to apologize to Jiang Huihan. It was too embarrassing.
Wang Liying took a deep breath and told herself that a little impatience would ruin a great plan and that a wise man should know when to act. Now the situation has changed. There is one more fighting force on the opposite side and the situation has changed instantly.
Before she had the chance to settle the score with Wu Guihua, Wu Guihua came to her door directly. She was holding a grudge in her heart, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't vent it out.
"You came just in time. I was going to your house to look for you. Your Zhao Xiaojun is too barbaric. He just beat up my Zili alone. Is there any way to fight like this? My son's arms and legs are covered with bruises, and some parts of his body are purple. If you two families don't give us an explanation today, I will go to the army to sue you. No one will have a good life."
The son cried and told her with great grievance that Zhao Xiaojun hugged him and called other children to beat him. He could not move and could only be beaten. In the end, he himself did not know which children beat him.
Is there anyone who bullies others like this? ?
Zhao Xiaojun was a well-known mischievous child in the family compound. Her son was too honest, which was why he fell into Zhao Xiaojun's trap.
Zhao Xiaojun curled his lips, put his hands on his hips, raised his chin, and said arrogantly: "You are a rude person. If you didn't steal Lele's small tank and curse at me, I wouldn't bother to beat you up."
Jiang Huihan nodded in agreement: "That's right, the one who teases first is the slut, who else should I beat if not you?"
He dared to say that in front of her, and didn't know how to bully her son in private. Wang Liying quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab Zhao Xiaojun.
The child was very agile, and when he saw that something was not right, he turned around and ran away, still shouting in an infuriating way, "I can't catch you."
Wang Liying was so angry that she immediately pointed the finger at Wu Guihua: "Look at your son. He said my son is ill-mannered. Does your son look like a well-mannered one? He jumps around the family compound all day long, causing trouble. He either breaks the glass of one family or makes the children of another family cry. Your Zhao Xiaojun is a troublemaker."
If that brat hadn't run so fast, she would have caught him and given him a beating.
Your son is allowed to steal other people's things, but others are not allowed to fight back. I guess your family has learned the logic of a robber.
Wu Guihua couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Wang Liying: "No matter how uneducated he is, he is better than your son. Your son is educated for stealing things from others? Why don't you look in the mirror and let others tell you what kind of moral character you have? I'm going to say this here today. My son beat your son. He was brave and helpful. You can apologize first, and then we'll consider whether to apologize or not."
Even if the incident was reported to the army, she was not afraid. A fight between children is not a big deal and there is no need to make a big deal out of it. Do you really think she was scared?
Jiang Suihan pursed her lips and smiled. She said that Wu Guihua was a very nice person in the family compound. She had her own set of standards for doing things and was a good person.
Now it seems that she has good vision.
Wang Liying's voice became high-pitched and piercing: "Why should we apologize? It was my son who was beaten by your son and that Jiang kid. You are the ones who should apologize. If we don't apologize, I will go to the army and sue you for ganging up to bully others."
Jiang Suihan crossed her arms and said calmly, "You've said this no less than three times. Since you want to go to the army to complain so much, then go ahead. I'll wait for the army to come find me."
After a pause, she looked at Wang Liying sincerely and said, "I wish you success."
With a "puff" sound.
Wu Guihua couldn't help but laugh. She never realized that Xiao Jiang was quite humorous and spoke in such a sarcastic way.
She also smiled and chimed in, "I wish you success, too."
Wang Liying's face turned pale, then blue, and then blue, then pale.
If such a small matter as a fight between children was reported to the army, not to mention how the soldiers would look at her, if it affected Li Hongjun's career, it would really be a loss, and she would become the sinner of the Li family.
Thinking about this clearly, how could Wang Liying dare to make a big deal out of it? She was just talking and wanted to scare Jiang Suhan, but she didn't expect that the girl named Jiang was not fooled at all and was just waiting for her to make trouble and watch the show.
Wang Lijuan sighed secretly and glanced at her disappointing second sister. She didn't approve of making trouble at the Xu's house in the first place. Children's affairs should be solved by children themselves. Adult intervention would only make things more complicated. After all, it was Li Zili who provoked first, and it was not excessive for Jiang Leyun to fight back. As for Zhao Xiaojun, it was normal for him to help when he saw his friend being bullied.
Besides, there were not only these three children fighting, there were other children as well. If we want to make a serious fuss about it, it would be hard to explain.
The reason why Wang Lijuan followed here was not only because she was worried about her second sister, but also because of her own little thoughts. She wanted to come to the Xu family to see Jiang Suihan and wanted to know what kind of woman Xu Zhao liked looked like.
After seeing Jiang Huihan up close, she felt a little disappointed. She was indeed beautiful. It turned out that Xu Zhao liked people like her. But she soon cheered up. So what if she was beautiful? She would not die soon. Xu Zhao would definitely be hers in the end.
Sensing a strong gaze, Jiang Suihan raised her eyes and looked around, and happened to meet Wang Lijuan's gaze.
It was her, the girl who made her feel a little strange.
Jiang Suihan didn’t know Wang Lijuan, and she didn’t understand the way she looked at her. It was very complicated, jealousy, disdain, and pity?
Why should I pity her?
It's really strange.
I can’t figure it out. Jiang Suhan is too lazy to think about it anymore. He is just an irrelevant person.
Wang Lijuan's heart was pounding wildly. She looked away in panic and stopped staring at Jiang Huihan.
She reached out and tugged at Wang Li's clothes, and whispered, "Second sister, why don't we just forget about it? The other two are so strong. I'm afraid we won't get any good results. If we really bring the incident to the army, others will think we are ignorant and think that our second brother-in-law can't even handle such a small matter at home. They will doubt his leadership ability and what should we do if we don't promote him?"
She knew very well that her second sister valued her second brother-in-law the most and dreamed of becoming an officer's wife. As long as she persuaded her second sister to think in this direction, she would go back.
The issue of the army's primary school teachers has not been settled yet, and we must not allow any problems to arise at this critical juncture, otherwise all our previous efforts will be wasted.
Wang Liying was unwilling to give up. She had come to the door to make trouble, and it was not her style to go back in disgrace. If other people in the family compound knew about it, they would definitely laugh at her, and she could not afford to lose face.
"My son was beaten. As a mother, I didn't seek justice for him. Those people in the family compound thought I was incompetent and laughed at me in private. They just let Wu Guihua and the little girl surnamed Jiang go. I can't swallow this anger."
She was bullied to the point of being wronged. She felt unhappy and always wanted to get some benefits in return.
Wang Lijuan was a little annoyed, but she didn't want to lose her temper with her second sister. She had no job now and still had to rely on her second sister.
He pulled the corners of his mouth and tried to speak calmly, "They refuse to apologize, so what can you do? You can't just beat them up or cry and make a scene at their doorstep. This is not our hometown. The tricks of crying, making a scene, and threatening to commit suicide won't work here. It will make people laugh at you for no reason and affect my second brother-in-law's career. Let's go home first and think about it."
Wang Liying thought about it and realized that neither side was willing to give in and staying deadlocked was not a solution. What her younger sister said was indeed right, so she could only go back and think of a good solution.
Before leaving, she said harshly: "Anyway, this matter is not over yet, just wait for me."
Wu Guihua put her hands on her hips and looked like a good neighbor: "Okay, I'll wait. You're going back so soon, don't you want to stay and chat?"
Wang Liying couldn't stand Wu Guihua's arrogant look, so she bit her back teeth and said something like, "Who wants to chat with you? Seeing your face makes me upset."
Wu Guihua shrugged indifferently: "Same, I get annoyed when I see your big face, I even eat half a bowl less."
I'm so angry!
Wang Liying glared at Wu Guihua angrily. She had been here for such a long time, but only today did she realize that Wu Guihua was so sharp-tongued and what she said could make people angry to death.
Wang Lijuan grabbed Wang Liying and tried to pull her away. She couldn't beat her up no matter how hard she tried, so why did she stay at Xu's house if she didn't leave?
Jiang Suihan poured Wu Guihua a glass of water to moisten her throat and gave her a thumbs up: "Sister-in-law, you were so domineering just now. I was stunned. Fortunately, you were here, otherwise this matter would have been a pain today."
She was not afraid of Wang Liying, she just simply didn't like arguing with others. It was a waste of time. She would rather read a book or write something with that free time.
I thought Wang Liying would be difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect her fighting ability to be average. I was first confronted by her, and then mocked by Wu Guihua. I left in shame.
After jogging all the way and talking so much, Wu Guihua gulped down the water and handed the quilt back: "Wang Liying is just a paper tiger. Don't be afraid of her. Just grasp her weakness. Don't be afraid that she will not give in. Every child fights. Only she takes this little thing seriously. She just bullies you because you are young. Once she scares you, you will listen to her."
Even though those family members are not well educated, they have lived for decades and are all smart people. Everyone can see through Wang Liying's little thoughts, but few people can expose her and they all laugh at her.
Last year, Wang Liying's son had a fight with another kid. They were both trying to steal something, but he was beaten because he was not strong enough. Wang Liying went to the kid's house to argue, probably wanting to ask for some compensation. She never expected that the kid's mother was indeed a soft-hearted person, but the kid's grandmother was not a pushover. Not only did she kick Wang Liying out with a rolling pin, she also chased her for a long distance, shocking the eyes of a group of people in the family compound. They all came out with their bowls in hand to watch the fun.
This incident made Wang Liying a laughing stock in the family compound for a long time. Today, she used the same trick again. She thought that Jiang Suihan was the new daughter-in-law, young and thin-skinned, so she would be safe this time. However, she didn't expect to be wrong again.
This is not a small delicate flower, it is clearly a queen of flowers.
Jiang Huihan smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm not afraid of her. We are right. We are not afraid of anything as long as we are right. What can she do if she jumps around? The army is not a place where people are unreasonable."
Two children were playing in the yard. Jiang Leyun took out some candies and shared them with Zhao Xiaojun, one for each of them. The two brothers had a very good relationship. Children's happiness was simple, and they had long forgotten the tension just now.
Wu Guihua followed Jiang Suihan's line of sight and said a little embarrassedly, "This child, since he started playing with your Lele, he has eaten more candy in the past few days than in the past month. Tell Lele not to give him candy in the future. He can't eat it every day."
There is no child who doesn't like to eat candy. Her family is not well off, and the children don't often have candy to eat. Every day after going out to play, the youngest son comes back and says that Jiang Leyun has given him candy again. Wu Guihua feels sad and guilty. The family has no money to buy candy for the children, and it is because they, as parents, are incompetent. She tells her youngest son not to take Jiang Leyun's candy and not to always take advantage of others.
The child nodded and agreed to what I said last night, but he forgot it in the blink of an eye today. I really don’t know what to say to him.
Jiang Suihan does not restrict Jiang Leyun from making friends. Once the candy is given to him, it is his. Whether he wants to eat it himself or share it with his friends is his business. It is up to the child to decide and she will not interfere.
You can't interfere in everything; children also need their own space.
She thinks Zhao Xiaojun is a good and loyal kid. After playing with Zhao Xiaojun these days, Jiang Leyun has become much more cheerful and lively.
Jiang Suihan: "It's just a few candies. As long as the kids are happy, that's fine. Xiaojun even helped with a fight yesterday. I think this kid is very nice. Lele likes playing with Xiaojun very much. They have a good relationship."
After chatting for a while, Wu Guihua wanted to go home to cook. Jiang Suihan gave her some food and asked her to take it back, but she refused. After Jiang Suihan persuaded her, she accepted it and said that he was too polite and would bring some to Jiang Suihan when the new pickles were ready.
Xu Zhao was covered in mud, and there were a few mud marks on his face. He washed his face first: "Have you been bullied today?"
On the way, he met a sister-in-law who stopped him and said that someone had gone to her house to cause trouble at noon. Upon hearing this, Xu Zhao thanked the sister-in-law and quickened his pace to go home.
He looked Jiang Huihan up and down inconspicuously, and found no wounds. There was nothing wrong with her expression, and she looked very calm. It seemed that there was no big problem, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Suihan glanced at Xu Zhao and said, "You know? It's nothing serious, just a fight between kids. It's about the sister-in-law Wang Liying I told you about last time. Her son wanted to take away the small tank you made for Lele, but Lele refused to give it to him. The boy got angry and said some ugly words. Lele got angry, and the two started fighting. Sister-in-law Wu's youngest son Zhao Xiaojun was there at the time and rushed over to help Lele fight."
"Then Wang Liying found out her son was beaten and came to me to ask for an explanation. I explained to her the whole story and said she would apologize, but her child had to apologize first. Otherwise, no deal. Mrs. Wu also said the same thing. If the children fought, both of them were at fault. If we really wanted to talk about it, it was her son who started to grab things and curse first."
After hearing what happened, Xu Zhao was a little surprised that Jiang Leyun actually fought with someone: "Le Le won?"
After such a long speech, Jiang Huihan didn't expect that his focus was here. Shouldn't he advise her to maintain peace and unite her family?
"It started with two people fighting, then three people, and finally a group of kids fighting, so I think they won."
She asked Jiang Leyun, and he was not injured. Neither was Zhao Xiaojun. Wang Liying was furious and wanted to settle the score with her instead of taking her son to the hospital right away. It seemed that he was not seriously injured. At noon, she heard her son say that Zhao Xiaojun hugged him and asked other children to beat him. It was this child who should have suffered.
You know what, Zhao Xiaojun is a very smart kid.
Xu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will wake Lele up every morning and take him running."
Jiang Leyun is still a little thin. I'll take him running together for exercise in the future. The child will be stronger and when he fights with others, he won't be knocked to the ground by other children with one punch. Even if he can't win, he can just turn around and run away.
Jiang Huihan mourned for a second for her brother who didn't know he would suffer tomorrow: "You are a thoughtful brother-in-law, and you think long-term."
It is better for me to have a dead friend than for myself. Anyway, she is not the one who goes jogging in the morning every day, so she has no objection.
Xu Zhao asked her: "Do you want to come together?"
After taking care of her for a few days, she looks better than before, but still thin. It would be better if she could gain some weight. However, given her habit of sleeping in, asking her to get up early every day to run would probably cost her half her life. This idea is unlikely to be implemented.
Jiang Suihan's face immediately changed, and she took a half step back, with an expression that said, "I refuse such a good thing." "Please forgive me. I only have one hobby in my life, which is sleeping in. No one and nothing can separate me from my beloved bed."
She didn't know when Xu Zhao got up and went out in the morning. He was busy dating Zhou Gong every morning and would not get up until he woke up naturally.
She admired Xu Zhao's perseverance from the bottom of her heart. He insisted on getting up early every day and never stayed in bed. If a man like him didn't succeed, who else could? But asking her to do the same as him was a joke.
Wouldn't it be nice to be a lazy person who does not pose a threat to society but also does not just live a life of idleness and wait for death?
Xu Zhao shook his head and laughed, knowing that she was unwilling.
Still have your favorite bed?
It seemed that he had to re-evaluate the status of the bed in her home.
He can't even beat a bed, right?
