Chapter 11: Sneaky
Han Changping's second mother was a chatterbox. She didn't even give her a chance to ask any more questions and just ran away.
"Xiao Si,"
After finishing his meal, Wang Zhilin took his big teacup, drank water, and looked at Han Changping very strangely.
"Everyone in the village said you kissed that girl Cui Jinfeng today. Is that true?"
Seeing him like this, Han Changping immediately recalled the hateful memories he had left behind, and his tone inexplicably became bad.
"You said you're a teacher, you don't know about artificial respiration, do you?"
If his mother and grandfather had not been at home, Han Changping would have been unable to resist calling Wang Zhilin dirty.
"Artificial respiration?"
Wang Zhilin looked at Han Changping in shock, his eyes looking as if he had seen an alien, and he began to examine him.
"Xiao Si, who told you all this? Now that you've been beaten to a pulp, do you think you've become a genius?"
"That day when you took me to the hospital, I saw the doctor saving people, and that's what he said."
“Xiao Si, eat, don’t listen to your brother-in-law’s nonsense.
What does a village teacher know? How is the water? Is it full?
Han Changping ignored his father and walked into the house.
The dishes on the table were simple: chive sauce, a handful of green onions, and a few radishes.
It is still two kinds of rice. The two kinds of rice mentioned here are not rice mixed with millet seeds.
Instead, most of the grits are mixed with rice to make two kinds of rice.
In the 1980s, there was still a severe shortage of supplies, especially in remote rural areas like this.
It's already very good to be able to eat this kind of mixture.
"Uncle."
When the little witch saw her silly uncle coming back, she ran towards him. In the past few days, this little thing had been trained by Han Changping and was very afraid of him.
But this little witch has been a smart child since she was young, and she can read people's faces.
When she saw that her silly uncle could cure her, she naturally began to please him.
At this time, Han Changping also cooperated and picked her up, and kissed her little face.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"No, Mom said to wait for my uncle, so Dad ate."
"Your brother-in-law has to prepare lessons and grade students' homework, so I let him eat first."
At this moment, Mr. Wang came in after feeding the cows outside.
"Master, it's time to eat."
"Okay, eat, eat,"
Mr. Wang is a very kind person. Although Han Yuemei married Wang Zhilin and had a silly brother,
But the old man said nothing, and said that the child was pitiful and he would never forget this little fool if there was anything delicious.
"Xiao Si, I heard you filled the fields with water?"
Old Master Wang sat down and took the bowl of rice handed to him by Han Yuemei.
Han Changping looked at Han Yuemei's big belly, hurriedly put the little witch in his arms on the edge of the kang, and took the bowl to get rice.
"Yeah, it's full. It should last a few days."
"Okay, okay, okay, Xiao Si has grown up and can work for the family."
After dinner, Han Yuemei still wanted to clean up the dishes, but Han Changping hurriedly pushed her down on the edge of the kang.
I poured her a basin of hot water for soaking her feet and finished all the work myself.
Thinking back to how their mother had worked hard throughout her life, their father Wang Zhilin didn't understand, and they, as children, didn't understand either.
My mother worried about them all her life, until she could no longer leave.
Han Changping finally realized what he had lost. Tormented by pain and guilt, he couldn't sleep night after night.
Now that he finally has a chance to start over, Han Changping will certainly not miss this opportunity given to him by God to atone for his sins.
"Brother-in-law, are you done?"
Wang Zhilin, who was sitting in a chair in a daze, looked at Han Changping and asked,
"Xiao Si, what's wrong?"
"Second brother-in-law, when you are done with your work, I want to talk to you about something."
Wang Zhilin's eyes looked at Han Changping more and more strangely, a little strange.
But he was more cautious, perhaps because he was keenly aware that something had changed.
"Oh, I'm done. Okay, let's chat, let's chat."
"Xiao Si, your second brother-in-law is busy, what are you talking about with him? You're tired all day, go to sleep quickly."
"Second sister, you should go to sleep first. There are some things I don't understand. Ask my second brother-in-law."
"Ha, my little fourth has grown up too. Okay, go ahead and have a good chat. If you don't understand anything, just ask your second brother-in-law."
"Um,"
Seeing that Wang Zhilin was still hesitating, Han Changping turned around and went outside before him.
He walked to a bench he had nailed under the fence in the backyard and stood in front of it.
"Sit down,"
Wang Zhilin stretched out his hand, but he really didn't dare to sit down. He still stared at his silly brother-in-law for a long time with his eyes as a teacher looks at a student.
"Xiao Si, if you have anything to say, please say it quickly. Brother-in-law has to go to work tomorrow."
Han Changping laughed when he heard this.
"Brother-in-law, is the village school going to change its principal?"
"Haven't you heard?"
Wang Zhilin was honest enough not to understand the meaning of these words.
"Xiao Si, what did you hear?"
"What did you hear? What? If my second brother-in-law changes principals, will it be your turn?"
"Hey, kid, how come you speak differently now that your brain is working properly?"
As he spoke, Wang Zhilin finally sat down.
"Brother-in-law, I've been thinking about something all day, and I feel it's necessary to talk to you about it."
Indeed, while lying under the shade of the tree for the entire afternoon, Han Changping was thinking about how to correct Wang Zhilin's sneaky and deceitful habits.
After thinking about it, I decided to have a face-to-face talk with him first.
"Hey, Xiao Si, I noticed that now that you're feeling better, why are you speaking so elegantly?"
Han Changping sneered in his heart and said all the words he had prepared.
"Look, brother-in-law, my second sister is pregnant again. She's already six months old and will give birth in a few months.
You, my dear second brother-in-law, for the sake of your ever saying that you once loved this woman,
Can you spare some time to help this woman who gave birth to your child with some housework, please?"
"Xiao Si, it's not me..."
"Brother-in-law, don't tell me you're busy at school. Aren't you just an elementary school teacher?
You've even taught elementary school stuff in a roundabout way, right?"
Han Changping didn't give Wang Zhilin any chance to defend himself because he knew this man's tricks too well.
I'm really afraid that I won't be able to control myself and punch him twice.
"Your wife is your own, you are her man, if you don't love her, who will?
As a man, Wang Zhilin, you can't even take care of your own woman. I really despise you."
Wang Zhilin opened and closed his mouth as he looked at him. Han Changping's eyes were filled with fear.
He would never have thought that one day his silly brother-in-law would actually say such words.
"If you can't take care of my second sister, tell me earlier and I can take them away."
Wang Zhilin's cheeks flushed after hearing this, and he hurriedly explained,
"Xiao Si is not like that. Don't you know what kind of person your second brother-in-law is?"
"Okay, okay, don't tell me this,"
Han Changping interrupted Wang Zhilin's defense impatiently.
"If you really want to be good to my second sister, then show us through your actions."
Seeing Han Changping walking away, Wang Zhilin, feeling a little guilty, hurriedly chased after him.
"Hey, Xiao Si, wait a minute..."
