Chapter 228 A Family
"Innocent?" Cheng Er's wife sneered. Although she didn't quite understand the cause and effect, for her, even if her son really did something wrong, what would it matter?
In the past, Cheng Yaozu relied on the fact that he was favored by others and did not take Cheng Putao seriously at all. He wanted to beat him to death.
Now that their status has gradually become equal, Cheng Yaozu himself can't bear it anymore and wants to go home again. After all, they are not his own children, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't raise them well.
"Your whole family are ungrateful, and you still have the nerve to say he's innocent? Cheng Yaozu, if you want to get out, just go ahead. You've wasted all the time I've taken care of you!"
She didn't bother to quarrel with Cheng Da's wife. Her son was still sick, so how could she waste her time on such meaningless trivial matters?
Doctor Zheng felt dizzy and was urged by Cheng's second daughter-in-law to see the child. His eyes were full of helplessness and he shook his head.
"The cold has entered his body, and he has been very weak. You should slowly replenish his body with medicine." After seeing the doctor, Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became more relaxed.
There are Western medicines that can be taken and work quickly, but they are like robbing Peter to pay Paul. Cheng Putao's physique does not allow him to do so. Even though Cheng Er's wife is almost dying of anxiety, she can only let him recover slowly.
When he came back in the evening, the second son of the Cheng family had heard what his eldest brother said and knew that the child had returned home. He felt complicated and had not yet figured out how to explain to Cheng Er's wife.
But first he heard his wife mumbling about everything that happened during the day, and complaining that Cheng Yaozu was an ungrateful person.
The conversation originally started in front of Cheng Putao's bed. The little guy's scattered thoughts were pulled back little by little by this thread. He opened his eyes wide, and there was still some confusion in his black pupils.
"Dad, Mom, I want to go find my brother. I was the one who bullied him first."
Cheng Putao said it softly.
He couldn't really remember what happened at the time, but his brother had been wronged, and he was the one who spoke without thinking at the beginning.
"Stop talking nonsense, silly child. Why do you take all the responsibility on yourself?" Cheng Er's wife gently wiped the sweat off Cheng Putao. Thinking of the ungrateful behavior of Cheng Putao, she felt like she was about to die of anger.
If Cheng Yaozu had said a few words and explained at that time, she would not have been so angry.
Cheng Yaozu has been raising her since she was born, but the child was not sensible enough after all. She would turn around and run away as soon as others gave her a little benefit, which wasted her efforts.
"It was my fault in the first place..." Cheng Putao told the story of what happened at that time in a halting manner, then lowered his head, looking particularly remorseful.
At this point, Cheng Er's wife, who was already furious, felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head.
They have been watching the changes in Cheng Yaozu during this period, but when they encountered these things, they chose to give up the child as soon as possible, as if they were certain that he would be a bad person.
"Mom, I know I was wrong. Let's go find Teacher Shen. She will definitely be able to help, okay?" Cheng Putao no longer cared about her own weakness. She took the initiative to grab her mother's hand and prayed softly.
All he wants now is for his family to be together in peace.
"Yes!" Cheng Er's wife immediately nodded in agreement and took Cheng Putao to find Chen Zhuyi.
The second son of the Cheng family watched from the side, pursed his lips, and was speechless for a moment. An injured child would definitely not bow his head so easily.
Moreover, although their family seems to be very happy now, conflicts have actually emerged. The Cheng family still wants Cheng Yaozu back.
For Cheng Yaozu, he may not be unaware of the plans of his grandmother and mother, but since he is the beneficiary, he will not think too much about it.
After learning their purpose, Chen Zhu scratched his head and said, "Shouldn't we ask the village chief for help with these trivial matters?"
After the two families separated, they became completely different.
If Cheng Yaozu is determined to return to his parents, even the law cannot make any strict demands on him.
"There's been a lot of conflict between the two kids because of this, and I was wondering... could you help mediate?"
"Teacher Shen, everyone believed in you before, and it's the same now."
Cheng Er's wife took the initiative to say nice things and almost put Chen Zhu there.
"There's nothing I can do. A minor conflict between children isn't worth a big fuss. Besides...instead of asking me to mediate, why don't you think about whether you can still return to your previous life?"
Chen Zhu frowned with concern. If Cheng Er's wife still wanted to win Cheng Yaozu back, she must first consider the harmonious coexistence of the two families.
For Grandma Cheng and Cheng Da's wife, Cheng Yaozu who returned home was a piece of fat meat in their mouths. Who would let this piece of meat fly away?
Cheng Er's wife was silent. She felt disgusted when she thought about her mother-in-law and sister-in-law plotting against her child together.
"Forget it, it's just a child. We have our own son to raise by our side. It doesn't matter whether we want those outside or not. If they don't follow us, who will suffer the loss?"
She thought for a long time, waved her hand indifferently, and wanted to pull Cheng Putao away.
But Cheng Putao was determined to stay. After all, he still had some energy. Cheng Er's wife felt aggrieved, but she had to agree.
"Teacher Shen, can you call my brother over? If I show up, grandma will definitely beat me out."
Cheng Putao placed all his hopes on Chen Zhuyi.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yaozu came over with a stern face. He bit his lower lip unhappily, his eyes were red, as if he was enduring something.
"Brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those hurtful words to you. Mom and Dad are very worried about you at home. Come home with me, okay?"
Cheng Putao trotted over and grabbed Cheng Yaozu's hand. His voice was full of guilt and self-blame. He was used to blaming himself for all the mistakes.
However, Cheng Yaozu didn't appreciate it. He pushed Cheng Putao out, his gloomy eyes revealing a hint of hatred: "Who cares about your family's pretense?"
What Mom said was right. This family seemed to like him on the surface, but in fact they hated him the most from the beginning.
In that case, there is no need for him to stay with these people.
After all, he has his own family.
Cheng Putao was too weak to react, and she sat down on the ground, looking up at her brother blankly: "We are a family..."
"I'm not from your family. You chase me away when you're angry, just like your mother. I hate you the most. You don't care about me, and I don't need a mother like you!"
He said a lot of things before turning around and leaving, as if he had heard everything Cheng Er's wife said.
