"Mom, I'm back!" The little girl shouted at Xing Zhaozhao as soon as she entered the door; it was Hongling.
The little girl's cheeks were puffed out, and she looked angry.
Xing Zhaozhao glanced at her and asked curiously, "Who made you angry again?"
"Who else could it be but that little fat Gu?" Hongling said angrily. When she saw Qin Shi, she greeted him politely and called him "Brother Xiaoshi." Then she went over to help him move things. The little girl had inherited Xing Zhaozhao's strength and moved things very quickly, soon cleaning up the crowded living room.
Gu Xiaopang is the grandson of General Gu in the compound. He was chubby since he was a child and got the nickname "Little Fatty". However, now that he is older, he has grown up and is no longer fat. On the contrary, he is quite good-looking. Only Hongling keeps calling him "Little Fatty".
Gu Xiaopang and Hong Ling are the same age. Ever since they learned to speak, they have been at odds and often get together to fight. They have been fighting since they were little, and Gu Xiaopang has never won against Hong Ling. This feud has become very deep.
"What did Gu Xiaopang do to you this time?" Xing Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.
Hongling immediately moved closer to Xing Zhaozhao and said, "Mom, let me tell you, that Gu Xiaopang is really bad. He bullied me."
Xing Zhaozhao looked surprised. Things had gone awry; her Hongling had actually been bullied by Gu Xiaopang.
"How did he bully you?" Xing Zhaozhao asked with great interest.
Seeing Xing Zhaozhao's happy expression, Hongling pouted, displeased: "Mom, I've been bullied, why are you still laughing so happily?"
"Really? Did I laugh? Sorry." Xing Zhaozhao patted her face, quickly suppressing her laughter, and looked at Hongling with feigned seriousness, asking again, "How did he bully you?"
Hongling: "..." I could tell she was just pretending.
“He…” Hongling couldn’t hold back any longer and decided to have a good talk with her mother about that scoundrel, Gu Xiaopang.
Just then, Hongfei and Lingze walked out together.
Ling Ze is the same age as Hong Fei. Like Hong Fei, he took the college entrance examination last year and was admitted to Beijing University. They even studied the same major and lived in the same dormitory.
Before Hongfei even came in, he heard Hongling ranting to her mother about it. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "You beat Gu Xiaopang up like a panda, how come it's him bullying you?"
Hongfei and Lingze returned one after the other, just as Gu Xiaopang, who had been punched in the eye and was fuming about going home, had dark circles under his eyes. They asked him with concern what had happened.
As a result, he was rebuffed by the chubby guy: "Go back and ask your Gao Hongling." After saying that, he even spared Ling Ze, giving Ling Ze a fierce glare, leaving Ling Ze completely confused. Could it be that he was involved in this?
Xing Zhaozhao became even more curious and asked Hongling, "How exactly did Little Fatty bully you?"
Hongling ran to Lingze's side and took his arm: "He said bad things about Brother Aze."
Ling Ze was stunned. So he really was involved in this.
Hongfei chuckled and asked, "How does it become bullying you if he speaks ill of Aze?" He couldn't understand the logic behind it.
Xing Zhaozhao looked at Hong Ling with a curious expression.
Hongling, with her neck stiff, said righteously, "Brother Aze is my childhood sweetheart. If he says bad things about Brother Aze, isn't that the same as saying bad things about me? Isn't that bullying me?"
Xing Zhaozhao: "..."
Qin Shi: "..."
Ling Ze: "..."
Hongfei: "..."
Xing Zhaozhao looked at her daughter's serious expression and was both amused and exasperated.
This story begins last year when Ling Ze was admitted to university. Ling Xiao and Jing Sa, the couple, brought their son to Beijing to attend university and took the opportunity to travel.
At that time, the two families were having dinner together. Ling Xiao had a few drinks and got a little tipsy. He brought up the strange things Ling Ze had done when he was a child, and casually mentioned that Ling Ze had said he wanted to come to the Gao family to be Hong Ling's childhood sweetheart.
What was said in jest was taken seriously by Hongling, who immediately began to spread the word about her childhood sweetheart.
Those in the compound who loved watching the drama unfold praised Hongling, saying that the young girl had foresight, that a husband should be raised from childhood and trained to suit one's own taste.
The little girl became even more smug.
Xing Zhaozhao didn't mind. The little girl was still young. When she grew up, she would probably forget all those childish words she said when she was little.
She never expected that even after a year, she would still be thinking about it.
Xing Zhaozhao looked at Hongling helplessly and asked, "What bad things did he say about your brother Aze?"
Beside them, Qin Shi, Hong Fei, and even Ling Ze himself all pricked up their ears with great interest, listening intently.
Hongling put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "He said that Brother Aze was my childhood sweetheart, that he was a freeloader, that he had no ambition, and that he wasn't a man."
Everyone around couldn't help but laugh, including Ling Ze, who had been called a gigolo, a good-for-nothing, and not a real man.
"He's so mean, slandering Brother Aze like that. I only gave him two punches, which was already letting him off easy," Hongling said, angrily waving her little fist in front of Xing Zhaozhao.
Xing Zhaozhao smiled and grabbed her daughter's little fist: "Alright, since you've already disciplined him, let's consider this matter over and not be angry anymore."
Hongling snorted, but her anger subsided somewhat after being comforted by her mother.
Ling Ze smiled and patted Hong Ling's head, asking, "If I really become a spineless, good-for-nothing man, will Hong Ling leave me?"
Hongling patted her chest and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of you when I grow up. You just need to be good to me."
Xing Zhaozhao was both amused and annoyed. She tapped her little head and said, "Mom has raised you to this age with great difficulty, and all you think about is someone else, not your mom? Don't you want to support Mom?"
Hongling took her mother's hand: "Mom, raise one too."
"What about me?" Hongfei asked with a smile, joining in.
"Me too," Qin Shi chimed in, joining in the fun.
With a wave of her small hand, Hong Ling exuded an air of power and dominance: "Raise them all."
"Let's see how much you can earn by then. You're making such a big promise to raise so many people." Xing Zhaozhao said irritably, patting her bottom. "Go back to your room and pack your things. Pack everything you can and can't take with you. Dad will take them to the courtyard house when he comes back later."
"Okay," Hongling replied, and quickly disappeared in a flash.
After seeing her daughter off, Xing Zhaozhao turned to Hongfei and Ling Ze and asked, "Where have you two been these past few days? You only came back today. You didn't come back specifically to help me pack, did you?"
Hongfei chuckled sheepishly, scratched his head, and said, "Although we didn't come back specifically to help, we can still help, but before that..."
Hongfei paused, looked at Xing Zhaozhao seriously, and said, "Mom, we have something we want to talk to you about."
