Chapter 229 Reliable
"Teacher Shen, please help me... I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those things and made my brother unhappy."
Cheng Putao started crying.
Hearing the noisy noise, Chen Zhuyi felt a headache.
It is easy to forget when a child throws a tantrum, but because the Cheng family's current composition is special and adults from two families are involved, it has become a problem.
"If you cry again, I will arrest you all and make you unable to cry!" Ye Xumei came back from get off work and warned with a stern face, then quickly walked over.
After exercising during this period of time, she has become a strong woman. She easily picked up the crying Cheng Putao as if she was picking up a chick.
"If you know you're wrong, find a way to apologize yourself instead of leaving the pressure on others. If you continue to make trouble in front of our house, I will let you know your mistake."
Ye Xumei warned, and Zhou Xingfan immediately waved his fist, as if he was completely obeying her words.
He doesn't care whether it's stupid or not, and he doesn't mind arguing with the child and losing face.
Cheng Putao had no choice but to leave crying.
Cheng Yaozu was not having a good time staying at the Cheng family either. After he came back, he was directly controlled and had no freedom at all.
Grandma and Mom wanted to take care of everything for him personally and never let him out of their sight.
"Yaozu, you're finally back. Mom will never let anyone bully you again. Sooner or later, I'll make a big fuss with them!"
Cheng Da's wife spoke in a ferocious tone, and there was a frost in the depths of her bright black eyes, which made people feel a little scared.
"Actually... I can do it all myself." Cheng Yaozu spoke cautiously, his eyes involuntarily looking outside.
He didn't want to stay here anymore and wanted to go back to his own home.
His parents and younger brother were waiting for him.
"They raised you very poorly. When you were at home, as long as you wanted something, Mom and Grandma would do their best to help you get it. They would never let you suffer this injustice!"
The eldest daughter-in-law Cheng kept complaining, as if the second daughter-in-law Cheng was deliberately abusing the child.
"Yes, whatever you want to eat now, grandma will make it for you right away." Old Mrs. Cheng also came over with a few eggs.
Only Cheng Yaozu has the right to eat the good things in the house.
Facing their enthusiasm, Cheng Yaozu hung his head and hesitated for a moment before saying weakly, "I want to go home..."
"This is your home!" Cheng Da's wife interrupted him rudely, tears rolling out of her eyes.
Seeing his mother's expression of grievance and pain, Cheng Yaozu's mouth seemed to be sewn shut by a needle, and he couldn't utter a word.
"Yaozu, don't make the people who truly love you sad. Those people just want to take revenge on you. Otherwise, how could you be hurt?"
Old Mrs. Cheng also gave some advice at this moment.
For the young Cheng Yaozu, he had no way to refute these words.
However, he didn't expect that grandma and mom would be so crazy that they even forgot about his schooling.
"Yaozu is so smart, just read some books at home. If you don't, we can help you."
"But I have friends at school. Even if I don't interact with Grape and the others, I still have other children to be around." Cheng Yaozu asked back with a confused look on his face.
Seeing the innocent confusion flashing in his eyes, Old Lady Cheng said firmly, "We who don't study have lived peacefully until now. What good will studying do you?"
"You say you're sensible, but you're not even in your right mind. You might as well not study. Wait two years and have someone find you a job at the factory. Wouldn't that way you'll never have to worry about food and clothing?"
She said it with confidence, as if that bright future was waving at Cheng Yaozu.
But Cheng Yaozu himself lowered his head with some concerns. He saw the news about conscription on TV. Even the soldiers who occasionally came to deliver things to Teacher Shen were very knowledgeable.
"Grandma, if I remain uneducated for my entire life, can you arrange for me to join the army?" Cheng Yaozu couldn't help but ask.
Old Lady Cheng didn't take it seriously at all. She waved her hand and said, "If you want to join the army, it's even easier. Just eat these things and get yourself healthy, and you can go."
A week passed, Cheng Yaozu just ate at home and didn't even go to school. Cheng Putao became more and more anxious, but his influence was insignificant. He was driven out just by being near Cheng's house.
Cheng's second wife and the second son of the Cheng family also tried to go over. They could hear Cheng's eldest wife's complaints from a distance. Thinking of the attitude of old lady Cheng, they had to give up the idea temporarily.
"Mom, will I never have a brother?" Cheng Putao couldn't help but ask, with some grievance in his voice.
"I shouldn't have said those harsh words to my brother. I'm such a beast!"
He slapped himself twice again, with quite a bit of force in his hands. Red marks immediately appeared on the little face that had finally gained some flesh, which made Cheng's second daughter-in-law feel extremely distressed.
But what can we do?
If Cheng Yaozu doesn't come out, can they go in and take the child away?
On this rare Sunday, Chen Zhuyi had already gotten over the worry about Huo Jinzhi's mission. She made herself a cup of tea, sat in the yard, looked at the withered yellow leaves, and sighed with satisfaction.
Steal a half day of leisure from this busy life.
Liu Kexin came over, a little fear still on her face, and walked to Chen Zhuyi's side: "Is everything going well recently?"
"Why are you here? Is everything okay at school lately?" Chen Zhuyi was also a little surprised, but shrugged nonchalantly: "I can't remember anything about the experimental research. I've been stuck recently. Have some tea."
She poured a glass for Liu Kexin.
The two chatted for a long time before Liu Kexin finally couldn't help but get to the point: "Recently, I don't know what happened. Cheng Yaozu went home, but he no longer comes to school."
The principal paid special attention to this matter. Every child must study, but he was busy with other things, so he let Liu Kexin come to practice.
Originally, it would be more reliable to leave this matter to Teacher Liu, but the future belongs to these young children.
Liu Kexin, who was given the task at a critical moment, did not ask her biological mother to accompany her into the dangerous place. Only then did she think of Chen Zhuyi. At least there was someone to accompany her.
After she told him her intention, there was still a hint of hesitation in Liu Kexin's eyes as she looked at her cautiously.
"It's okay to go and take a look. I thought the matter was resolved. Cheng Yaozu is a good kid, but he needs someone to lead him properly."
Chen Zhuyi nodded without hesitation. Neighbors are neighbors, and these things should be done.
What's more, Chen Zhuyi is still a teacher in the school, so he can take advantage of this opportunity to make a handover!
