Chapter 400 Nanxing has a toothache
Zhiqi bought toys for Lezhi and Nanxing. On the way home, Nanxing kept asking for candy.
But Zhiqi still remembers what his mother said: that his younger siblings are teething and they can't have too much candy; they can only have a sweet treat once in a while.
Nanxing has already eaten one candy today, so of course he can't let Nanxing eat any more.
As a result, the kid started throwing a tantrum.
Lezhi was also influenced by her brother. The little girl suddenly squatted down, covered her face, and pretended to cry, saying, "Brother, Zhizhi wants to eat too."
In the end, Zhiqi had no choice but to take out some money from his pocket and hand it to Nanxing. "You can only buy one. You and your sister can each have one. If you dare to secretly hide any, I'll tell Mom when I get home!"
In Jiang Ting's eyes, this scene became the image of Jiang Ning's biological child bullying Zhiqi, the adopted child.
She immediately decided to observe it carefully.
For several days in a row, Zhiqi secretly bought candy for his younger siblings.
But he didn't know that Nanxing was a very clever little guy. Not only did he eat the candy he bought, but he also hid the candy and ate it secretly after everyone in the family had fallen asleep.
Since Zhiqi was off work on Saturday, Jiang Ning didn't take the two little ones to the hospital with her.
As soon as Jiang Ning and Shen Mo stepped through the gate of their courtyard, Zhiqi ran over and grabbed Jiang Ning's hand, "Mom, Nan Nan has a toothache, you have to go and see her."
Jiang Ning frowned and quickly followed him into the house.
At this moment, Nanxing, who had been in the room, ran out, hugged Jiang Ning's leg, and looked up at her with a pitiful expression, his little face swollen on one side, and said, "Mommy, my tooth hurts."
Seeing this, Jiang Ning immediately squatted down, "Nan Nan, open your mouth and let Mommy see."
"Ah—" Nanxing obediently opened her mouth.
Jiang Ning carefully examined his mouth and saw that his gums were swollen. After a while, she sternly asked, "Shen Nanxing, did you secretly eat candy?"
Shen Nanxing, who was in so much pain that he wanted to hug her mother's leg for help, immediately let go when his mother suddenly called him by his full name.
He instinctively looked at his father, wanting to ask him for help.
Then I saw Dad hand Mom a small bamboo stick.
At this moment, Zhiqi pursed his lips and lowered his head. He said, "Mom, I was wrong. Hit me."
He had just finished apologizing when Jiang Ting, who was walking out of Li's house across the street, overheard him.
She looked up and saw Jiang Ning holding a small bamboo stick in her hand in the courtyard across the street, as if she were disciplining someone.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ning's adopted son was hanging his head, looking like he was being scolded and beaten.
She knew it; no one would be completely impartial towards their own children.
Now that Jiang Ning has two biological children, how good can she be to this adopted son?
Moreover, Jiang Ning is so rich, yet she doesn't buy her adopted son any nice clothes.
This adopted son is stupid; he has so much money of his own, yet he gives it all to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning might have adopted Huo Zhiqi just for the compensation money he received!
Jiang Ting wanted to continue listening, but then Aunt Li came out of the house. Because of her eldest daughter's matter, her tone and attitude were not very good, "Didn't you leave? What are you still standing here for?"
Jiang Ting ignored Sister Li and turned to leave.
As I left, I glanced back at Jiang Ning's yard.
I have a plan in mind.
Zhiqi suddenly apologized, and Jiang Ning turned to look at him.
Zhiqi immediately spilled the beans, telling everyone how he had secretly bought candy for his younger siblings.
Hearing that both kids had eaten candy, Jiang Ning also observed Lezhi's gums.
Lezhi's gums are still fine, so Shen Nanxing must have eaten more than one candy every day.
Jiang Ning knew how good these two little ones were at charming people. Not to mention Zhiqi, sometimes even military families on the street would give them candy because of their sweet words.
Zhiqi must have been driven to desperation by the two of them, which is why he bought them candy.
Jiang Ning looked at Zhiqi's outstretched palm and suddenly reached out her hand.
Zhiqi instinctively closed his eyes.
After being adopted by his parents, he always behaved very well and never made any mistakes.
This was the first time he had made a mistake.
If he hadn't bought candy for his younger brother, his brother's face wouldn't have swelled up.
However, the next second, he felt a warm hand land in his palm and gently pat it.
A gentle voice rang out, "Zhiqi, Mom knows you care about your younger siblings, so I'll just consider this a punishment."
Huo Zhiqi raised his little face and met Jiang Ning's gentle face. He had made such a big mistake, but his mother wouldn't punish him?
Seeing that Zhiqi's worry and self-blame hadn't disappeared, Jiang Ning reached out and rubbed Zhiqi's head. "Don't worry, your brother is fine. He just ate too much candy. He not only ate the candy you gave him, but he also secretly hid some candy to eat, which caused his toothache."
Zhiqi blinked hard. "I will definitely keep a close eye on my younger siblings from now on and not let them eat candy secretly."
Nanxing had gingivitis, so Jiang Ning gave him some herbal water to drink, and the swelling in his inflamed gums subsided overnight.
Children only learn from pain once.
Nanxing had been in pain for several hours due to gum inflammation. After the swelling subsided, Jiang Ning put candy in front of him, but he refused it.
*
After some time, the rumors in the family compound finally subsided.
Seeing that no one was gossiping about what Jiang Ning had said that day, Jiang Ting's mood improved.
However, his good mood was ruined on the way to the camp.
She was walking home when suddenly a bird fell from the sky and hit her on the head.
Jiang Ting looked at the sparrow struggling on the ground.
Before she could even figure out how the bird had hit her so precisely on the head, a little radish-head suddenly appeared right under her nose.
Upon seeing Shen Nanxing, her face instantly turned ugly.
Shen Nanxing, holding a slingshot, ran over with his short legs and picked up the bird from the ground.
This is the bird he just shot down.
Jiang Ting looked at the slingshot in his hand and remembered the last time this brat hit her with a slingshot.
Suddenly, Jiang Ting's anger flared up.
She looked around and, seeing no one was around, reached out and grabbed the little boy's arm.
She held onto Shen Nanxing tightly, and he, being so small, was no match for the strength of an adult.
He was like a little chick in Jiang Ting's hands.
Jiang Ting looked at the adorable baby in front of her, whose features resembled Jiang Ning's by a significant margin, and felt a surge of anger. She reached out and pinched Nanxing's fair and tender little face hard.
He applied a little force, and Nanxing burst into tears from the pain.
Jiang Ting reached out and covered Nanxing's mouth, "Why are you crying? Don't cry!"
Just then, a hand suddenly grabbed Jiang Ting's wrist.
Jiang Ting turned around and immediately saw who had grabbed her.
Zhiqi practices boxing with Shen Mo every day and is very strong.
He raised his fist, only to see Jiang Ting's protruding belly.
Jiang Ting was instinctively frightened when she saw his fist, but she quickly recovered.
The other person was just a child, what did she have to be afraid of? Besides, she wasn't afraid of the other person's fist coming down on her.
She's pregnant now, and this is still in the military camp. If Huo Zhiqi dares to hit her, she dares to sue.
Since the child hit someone, Jiang Ning is naturally the one who should take responsibility.
She was happy to see it happen.
Jiang Ting raised an eyebrow and said, "What, you want to hit me?"
