Chapter 15: Raising an Army to Punish the Crime
In the second house, the ground was covered with broken fruit pulp covered with dirty soil, creating a mess.
But the family felt a little strange.
It was not the kind of numb silence that one would normally have when being bullied.
Cen Dahai opened his mouth slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of shock in his eyes.
Li pursed her lips tightly, but the corners of her lips were clearly curved. She didn't have such an opportunity in the past. Even if she was angry, she could still get some advantage.
As for Cen Yang, who had always been afraid of and disliked his stepsister, his eyes were bright and he looked at Cen Yan with admiration and love.
Obviously, she made the other party unhappy and the family was in disharmony, but this time, the second wife did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. Instead, she was in a very happy mood.
It turns out that when someone bullies you and you fight back, it feels so good...
Cen Yan picked up a broom and swept up the remains of the Naiguo fruit while speaking in a normal tone, "There are plenty of these fruits in the mountains. I still have some left from what I picked last time. I'll get them for you later."
"Sister, where did you pick the fruits? I'll go with you next time!" Cen Yang clenched his little fists, and his little head tilted back, turning left and right as she moved, looking very cute.
There were still traces of tears on his face.
His food and toys that originally belonged to him were snatched away by his cousins from the first and third wives, and his younger sister-in-law. Normally, he could only cry and his grandmother would scold him for being useless. He would cry over the smallest things, and no one knew how sad he was. No one would seek justice for him, but today, his sister did it!
Although Cen Yang is young, he already has a very clear sense of right and wrong towards his grandparents, the first wife, the third wife, and the younger sister-in-law.
Children have simpler ideas.
They don't like themselves and they don't like them.
Now, he hoped that when they bullied himself and his parents again in the future, his sister would stand up for the whole family like she did just now!
Undoubtedly, Cen Yan has risen from a disliked person to a heroic figure in Cen Yang's heart!
From now on, he is the hero's little follower!
This way, when he grows up, he can be a hero and protect his family!
At this moment, when Cen Yan heard him say this and saw his expectant and admiring eyes, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up, and at the same time she felt a little melancholy in her heart.
Why is it that even the youngest brother understands the benefits of resisting oppression better than his parents?
It can be seen that it is a terrible and sad thing when adults become numb to the current situation.
“Yangyang, these fruit trees are in the mountains, and the roads on the mountain are not easy to walk on. You are still too young. If you go there, your sister will have to take care of you and be careful on the road. That won’t work. What you have to do now is to eat more and grow up quickly. When you grow as tall as me, your sister will take you to pick fruits in the mountains. You can help your sister pick the fruits that are tall on the trees and that your sister can’t reach, okay?” Cen Yan touched her brother’s head and coaxed him with a smile.
When Cen Yang heard that he couldn't go, his face fell.
But soon, he clenched his fist and said to Cen Yan solemnly: "Sister, I understand! From today on, I will eat more and grow taller as soon as possible! I want to be taller than cousin Lin and cousin Han!"
"That's right, Yangyang is so well behaved and smart!" Cen Yan praised with a smile.
Seeing this scene, Li also secretly clenched his palms.
It was the first time she saw her son so happy!
It can be seen that what Yan'er said was right. We should resist and separate the family earlier!
A child’s happy face is much more comforting to look at than his usual angry and depressed face!
Being a mother makes you strong.
For the sake of her son, she has to fight!
Cen Yan was quietly changing Li's mind.
But when she glanced at Cen Dahai, he had recovered from his shock and was still silent, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
At this moment, there was a "thump" and the door was kicked open.
The family turned around and saw Yu from the third room leading Cen Shuang, and accompanied by her younger aunt Cen Ying, who had just left here vomiting. The three of them walked into the house arrogantly.
"Where are the fruits? Where are the fruits that your second room stole that I bought at the market?" As soon as Yu entered the room, her eyes were full of brilliance, and she moved back and forth in the house looking for something.
"I don't understand why Third Aunt is accusing me of something. We have fruits in the second room, but they were just taken away by our aunt-in-law. The problem is, we don't have any of the fruits you bought at the market!" As soon as Cen Yan saw their posture, she knew that Yu was up to something evil, and she said it clearly.
"Humph, the eldest sister-in-law just left here empty-handed. Don't try to shift the blame of stealing the fruit onto someone else!" Cen Ying sneered and said with certainty, "You, the second branch, hid the fruit bought by the third sister-in-law. Do you still want to deny it?"
"That's right, Li, how did you teach your children? Yesterday, my mother said that you taught the children bad things, but I didn't believe it. Now I know that you specially taught our children in the Cen family to become thieves!
Yu blabbered and said a lot, "Cen Yan, tell me the truth, was it Li who instigated you to steal? I'm telling you, you haven't even married yet, if this gets out and the Wei family knows that you have such a corrupt character, they will definitely cancel the engagement! Be careful that you won't be able to get married, because you'll fall into the vicious schemes of some treacherous people!"
When Cen Yan heard this, he sneered in his heart.
Will the Wei man cancel the engagement because of this?
If that were true, she would love it!
However, she would not be so stupid as to memorize the charge of stealing!
Li, who was standing by, felt angry and annoyed when she heard this.
She treated Cen Yan wholeheartedly, but how come in the mouth of the third wife, she became an unforgivable sinner?
Just as she was about to retort angrily, Cen Yan stopped her.
"Aunt San, no one knows whether you bought fruits at the market a few days ago, but I can say for sure that these fruits for our second room were picked by me on the mountain. They have nothing to do with your third room! My mother is kind-hearted and has never instigated me to steal!" Cen Yan said in a firm tone.
"Oh, Li gave you a love potion? You don't want to admit it, right? Well, then you stole it on your own, so come with me! Let's go see your grandmother and seek justice! I will make you spit out the fruit you stole from our third room!" When Yu heard that Cen Yan would not cooperate with her to slander Li this time, she felt embarrassed and raised her hand to pull Cen Yan to the main room.
Normally, when they saw her like this, the people from the second room would panic and beg for mercy.
But today, no one from the second house moved, let alone begging for mercy.
"Aunt San wants to ask grandma for justice? Well, it's time to make things clear. Let's go." Cen Yan took a step back, avoiding her hand that was holding him.
After saying this, he took the lead and walked towards the main room.
