Chapter 185 Chapter 185 Hearing

After dinner, several children pestered Lin Yue, begging her to make a phone call. Lin Yue was pestered so much that she had no choice but to follow them out.

The family compound was very quiet in the afternoon. The only noise came from the south, where the soldiers and their wives who were building the house were talking and laughing.

Lin Yue stayed at home with Wang Tingting today and did not go to help with the work. At this time, they should have finished their meal and were resting.

On the contrary, because everyone has the habit of taking a nap, there are almost no people in the courtyard of my old home, and only a few chickens can be heard occasionally.

Lin Yue and his group walked on the empty street. Several children chattered and gave Lin Yue advice on what to say when she made the phone call. Lin Yue listened to their ideas and found them more and more outrageous. She quickly put her finger to her lips and said sternly, "If you really want Little Stone to stay for a few more days, then from now on, no one is allowed to speak!"

Several children quickly covered their mouths. Even Little Mushroom and Little Sisi followed their older brothers and sisters' example and covered their mouths with their chubby little hands.

Little Stone looked at Lin Yue with the only pair of eyes that were exposed, his eyes were filled with hope.

Lin Yue sighed and asked softly, "Little Stone, tell Auntie, do you not want to go home and stay at Auntie's house forever?"

Seeing the look of loss and hurt in the child's eyes, she quickly added: "Auntie doesn't mean you are not welcome to live here, she just wants to hear your thoughts."

Little Stone's eyes immediately lit up again. He twisted his hands and began to hesitate again: "Auntie, I like this place. I want to play with Lingling and Wanli all the time, but I also miss my parents, grandma, and my younger brother and sister..."

Lin Yue nodded in understanding. She touched the boy's head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this is your uncle's home. You can come here anytime you want."

Little Stone seemed to have taken a tranquilizer. He no longer felt upset and followed his aunt happily towards the office building.

Not long after walking, Lin Yue heard a faint voice coming from the front. She recognized it as Kong Jianguo's voice, who was angrily accusing someone of something, and his words were particularly unpleasant.

She didn't want the children to hear it, so she was about to change the route when she heard Lingling say, "Mom, I heard Kong Jianping crying!"

Kong Jianping and Lingling were about the same age and were classmates. When the kids heard the sound, they ran towards the source of the sound. Lin Yue quickly stopped them and whispered, "What are you doing running over there? What if Kong Jianping did something wrong and his mother is scolding him? Wouldn't it embarrass him if you go over there?"

The children looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Mom, what should we do now? Kong Jianping gave us some dried meat a few days ago!"

Some time ago, the two children still had money and food coupons in their hands. The children could not control themselves and spent money lavishly. It seemed that the two of them bought a lot of snacks to share with their classmates and friends.

"Yes, he was very generous some time ago, often bringing delicious food to the Yuhong class, but I don't know what happened recently, he often doesn't come to school. A few days ago, there was a big hole in his clothes, but he didn't change it or sew it, and just wore it for several days. Moreover, he smells bad, even worse than Xiao Pang who never takes a bath!"

Here, several children were still talking about Kong Jianping, and on the other side, Kong Jianping stood beside his brother, howling and listening to his brother and Tang Sisi talking.

Lin Yue also heard the conversation and was shocked.

"Aunt Tang, the method you mentioned is not very effective. My mother often doesn't give us food. As long as we don't obey, she will ignore us. No matter how I scold her and belittle her, it doesn't work."

"Your mother shouldn't do this. Isn't it her fault that you are having such a hard time now? Moreover, as a mother, how can she be so cruel as to not let you eat? Even if you made mistakes, she should have taught you a lesson instead of just not giving you food!"

Kong Jianguo's angry voice came: "That's it! But others actually think she is right. That Auntie Tao even complained that she was too coquettish to us and asked her to discipline us properly!"

Tang Sisi's voice came slowly, "Tao Laixiang, her personality is quite... Anyway, you are not her children, she will only stand by your mother and will not care about your life or death."

"Aunt Tang, what should we do now? My father is not here, and there is no one to protect us..."

"What are you afraid of? Isn't Aunt Tang still here? So, you should go back and admit your mistakes. After all, she is your mother and she will not ignore you. You should listen to her in the future. She will never starve you no matter what happens."

Kong Jianguo said angrily, "She doesn't care about us at all! Ever since she came back from the hospital, she has become a different person. Not to mention cooking, she doesn't even wash our clothes! As long as we make her unhappy, she will kick us out of the house and won't even give us a bite of food! What kind of biological mother is she? She is worse than your stepmother!"

After an awkward silence, Kong Jianguo said hastily: "Aunt Tang, that's not what I meant. I mean that there are too few good mothers like you. It's a pity that you didn't marry my father, otherwise we wouldn't have such a mother of feudal, capitalist and revisionist background and live such a life..."

Tang Sisi sighed and said, "Don't say such things in the future. It's not good for others to hear it. Your mother has had a hard time. She used to be a delicate lady. She didn't really want to marry... Hey, you are all children. Why should I say this to you? Anyway, remember, if you have any problems, come to Aunt Tang. I will protect you. In a few days, I will teach you how to get along with your mother so that she can become the mother who cares for you in every possible way."

The distance between the two sides was actually quite far, and in order to avoid bumping into others, Tang Sisi even found a secluded place. In this way, not only could others not see them, but the three of them could not see others either.

Lin Yue's hearing was far superior to that of an ordinary person, and he could easily hear the other party's conversation. Even Lingling and the others could vaguely hear Kong Jianping's crying, but the three people over there didn't pay any attention to what was happening here, and they didn't expect that their conversation was heard by others.

Lin Yue didn't expect that Kong Jianguo and Tang Sisi had such a connection. He just didn't know what kind of grudge Tang Sisi had with Wang Fang that she actually instigated someone else's son.

But it's not all Tang Sisi's fault for instigating. Kong Jianguo's words were full of disgust and contempt for Wang Fang, as if she was not his mother but a stain. Having such a son, Wang Fang was really in dire straits.

Lin Yue really didn't want to care about the two brothers' affairs anymore. In fact, deep down she didn't want the children to get too close to them. She just didn't say much because she didn't want to interfere too much with the children's friendships.

She recently told a few children about various types of people and the art of language, thinking that if they heard more, they would be able to hear some of the twists and turns in the stories when they met similar people in the future. Unfortunately, the children were still too young and just listened to the stories without taking them seriously.

While listening to what was happening over there, she comforted the children: "There are adults there, why are you worried? Besides, this is a military camp, don't worry, there won't be any danger. Come on, let's go make a phone call, otherwise we'll be late and you'll be late for school!"

Just as the group was about to leave, Lin Yue heard her name coming from the other side.

"The method Auntie Tang taught me is very useful. Every time I pretend to be very pitiful, the adults can't bear it and sometimes they even apologize to me. But it doesn't work every time. Last time, the new Auntie Lin was not fooled by me and was very fierce to me. She must be really angry. Auntie Tang, why is that?"

Tang Sisi's voice was filled with laughter: "Little bastard, I teach you this so that you won't be bullied, not for you to use it to deceive others!

And if you only use the same words, there will of course be times when they are useless. You need to first understand the other person's personality, and then speak to them in a targeted manner. There is a lot of knowledge involved, and there is still a lot for you to learn!

But as for Lin Yue... I've been busy with work and haven't seen her very often. I'll meet her properly next time and tell you how to handle her!"

Lin Yue sneered in his heart and left with the children.

The one who answered the phone was his eldest sister-in-law Pan Hongzhu. She was a straightforward person, so Lin Yue didn't bother to be polite with her. He simply discussed with her, "Sister-in-law, the children have a good relationship with each other and are reluctant to let Xiao Shi go. I think it would be better if we send him back home on Sunday and let him stay at home for a while. We will pick him up again after a while."

Mrs. Pan laughed and scolded her son: "That rascal, I told you that he has become wild living in your house and doesn't miss home at all! You should not indulge him so much, he is just a child, it would be terrible if he listens to everything! You don't have to go through so much trouble, I will ask your eldest brother to go over there on Sunday and bring this little bastard back."

"That's not the case, sister-in-law. Little Shitou misses home too. He told me that he misses his parents, grandma, and his little sister. What a good kid. He is very well behaved and sensible here. This is my idea. Anyway, the children haven't started primary school yet, so why not let them spend more time with each other now? When the children go to primary school next year, they won't be able to play like this anymore."

Mrs. Pan said nonchalantly, "You are just a little kid, why are you in such a hurry to go to school?"

Luohe Brigade does not have any educational facilities such as kindergarten or red-school classes, let alone primary schools. The nearest primary school is in a neighboring village three miles away.

It’s okay for children to go to school in the summer, but it’s really inconvenient when it snows in the winter, so no one is willing to let children who are too young go to school. At the very least, they should be at least ten years old.

Lin Yue knew about this situation, but there was nothing she could do about it. She wanted to ask Xiao Shitou to come here and go to elementary school with Ling Ling Wanli, but she couldn't bring this up herself, at least not over the phone, so she just smiled and said, "Then let's make a deal. Let Xiao Shitou go back on the weekend, and let him come to my house to play after a while!"

The phone is precious, Mrs. Pan responded promptly and hung up.
