Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Kan Zherui’s Childhood Thoughts…
"In ancient times, there was a child whose parents had died. He lived with his brother and sister-in-law. His brother and sister-in-law treated him very badly. They fed him leftovers, dressed him in tattered clothes, and didn't even let him sleep in a bed. He had to sleep in the cowshed with the cows at night."
"He herded cattle every day and had a good relationship with them, so people called him Cowherd."
"Year after year passed, and Niulang grew up and reached marriageable age. However, his brother and sister-in-law seized the family property and only gave Niulang a small amount, which was not enough for him to marry."
The old cow spoke, saying that tomorrow evening a group of fairies would be bathing in the lake on the right mountain. It asked the cowherd to steal the fairies' pink gauze skirts that were left on the grass. That way, the fairies would not be able to fly to the sky and would have to become the cowherd's wife.
"The next day, Cowherd did as he was told. Sure enough, the fairy lost her powers and couldn't return home. It turned out that the fairy was the Queen Mother's granddaughter, and she had secretly come to the mortal world while the Queen Mother was drunk. The Weaver Girl asked Cowherd if he had seen her clothes. Cowherd said no, and suggested that since she couldn't return to heaven anyway, she might as well return to his home, where he would take her in..."
Kan Zhao paused and flipped back a few pages. There were probably still a few thousand words to read.
The night is short, I don't really want to waste time here.
"And then, uncle?" The child blinked his eyes, not feeling sleepy at all.
"When the Weaver Girl refused, the Cowherd forcibly abducted her. Later, at the instigation of the old cow, he wanted to enter the bridal chamber with the Weaver Girl. Fortunately, when the Weaver Girl couldn't find her gauze dress, the other fairies who had traveled with her went back to ask the Queen Mother for help."
"Just as the Cowherd was about to commit adultery with the Weaver Girl, the Queen Mother immediately unleashed her magical powers and cast him into the Eighteen Levels of Hell. She then plucked the jade hairpin from her head and drew it backwards, which transformed into the Milky Way, blocking the Cowherd's path to the human world, ensuring his eternal rebirth."
"What about the old cow?"
"Skin it, remove the bones, and cook it."
"Oh... okay."
After a while, I noticed that Kan Zhao didn't say anything and was about to put away his books and leave. Kan Zherui belatedly asked, "And then, uncle?"
"What then?"
"It's a long story, 'The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl'. Have you finished telling it?"
"That's all."
"How is that possible? There are so many pages, and my uncle only talked about it for a while." Kan Zherui clearly remembered that there was a lot of content. Just by thinking with his toes, he knew that it was impossible to finish it in three minutes.
"The cowherd said he was taking women in, but in reality he was trafficking women and committing adultery." Kan Zhao bent down and covered Kan Zherui with the quilt that he had kicked off.
"What's so interesting about this story? Go to sleep."
"Bad uncle." Kan Zherui protested.
Kan Zhao disagreed, "You are not a good nephew either."
I left a night light on for him.
"Go to bed early."

The next afternoon, Lin Qingxu drew a few sketches and sent them to the client for screening.
While waiting for a reply, a call came from an unknown number.
"Hello, are you the parent of Kan Zherui?"
"Yes."
"Okay. The situation here is this..."
Simply put, Kan Zherui had a fight in kindergarten and asked Lin Qingxu to go to school.
The teacher hung up the phone in a hurry without explaining much and went on to notify other parents.
When Lin Qingxu arrived at the kindergarten, the other two parents also came over. They met with the head teacher at the school gate.
Shen Qing was in a meeting when she received the call. The head teacher had given her a quick notice and only asked her to go to school once, without giving any reason.
There is nothing wrong with Chen Huai being asked to bring his parents to school.
but……
"Teacher, you said Chen Huai was fighting?" Shen Qing was extremely unbelievable.
According to Chen Huai's personality, it's already very good for him to chat with others, let alone fight.
What's more, how could Chen Huai fight in that condition? He could only use his head to hit someone who couldn't walk?
"No, no, that's not the case with Chen Huai's parents." The head teacher quickly explained. Then, thinking of something, he sighed and said, "Forget it, just follow me."
From a distance away, I could hear some wailing.
The voice doesn't sound like Kan Zherui's.
Lin Qingxu followed the head teacher into the office and saw three children standing in a row in the corner.
One had a purple face and was crying indignantly, one had his head down and was staring at his toes, not knowing what he was thinking, and one was sitting in a wheelchair and yawning.
The man beside him took two or three steps forward and without saying anything, he went up and spanked his son twice on the buttocks, "You bully me every day!"
"Wang Tianba, I told you to be quiet this week. You were called to the parents' office the day before yesterday, and today you're bullying me again."
After hitting him a few times, he still didn't feel satisfied, so he slapped the fat boy on the butt a few more times.
Wang Tianba's sobs lingered in his throat.
"I don't have it, I don't have it!" The little fat boy was spinning around in his elbow and making a fuss.
"No, no. When did you ever say no?"
The head teacher quickly stepped forward to dissuade him, "Wang Tianba's parents, please don't hit your child. Don't do this."
Although this situation is not uncommon and has happened to this father and son many times in kindergarten, she still has to fulfill her responsibilities.
"Okay, this won't happen again." The man put his son down.
Seeing that Kan Zherui, Shen Huai, and the other two children were probably not seriously injured, he felt that this matter would be easier to handle. He smiled sheepishly at Lin Qingxu and the others and said, "Well, I'm sorry. The children are used to being wild. I will reimburse the medical expenses and other losses."
"Dad Wang Tianba, I think you may have misunderstood." The head teacher quickly explained.
"The one being bullied this time is Wang Tianba."
"Here's what happened..."
Because of the football incident, Chen Huai unilaterally went into a cold war with Kan Zherui.
During the lunch break, the children who had finished their lunch moved their small stools outside to bask in the sun under the teacher's arrangement, and Chen Huai was also pushed out in a wheelchair by the teacher.
Kan Zherui took out a comic book and told stories to Chen Huai in the middle of the meeting to cheer him up, hoping to reconcile.
But when he came back, he found Chen Huai "fallen" on the dirty ground, and his wheelchair was occupied by Tianba, the bully from the next class who always took pleasure in bullying children.
In a fit of rage, Kan Zherui punched Wang Tianba in the face, who was "laughing wildly", with such force that he knocked him and his wheelchair down.
But in fact, Wang Tianba saw Chen Huai was alone and she looked quite funny sitting in a wheelchair.
He was in the class next door, so naturally, he hadn't heard of Chen Huai's reputation for being unkind. He also noticed how pretty she was, and since pretty people are generally kindhearted, he asked if he could borrow Chen Huai's wheelchair. Seeing his silly look, which resembled someone else's, Chen Huai kept the words of refusal on his lips, but finally, he reluctantly agreed. Unexpectedly, this idiot was quite strong, and he dragged him out of the wheelchair, then had a good time playing alone.
idiot.
The head teacher said, "This is roughly what happened."
Wang Tianba’s father: “…”
Lin Qingxu: "..."
Shen Qing: "..."
"Wow!" The explosive sound of crying pierced the air, like the steam from boiling water suddenly pushing open the lid of a kettle.
The sound was so loud that it could scare away the birds sitting on the power lines above.
Little Wang Tianba felt very aggrieved after being beaten by Kan Zherui. He waited for a long time and was about to complain to his father so that Kan Zherui would also have a lesson by being taught a lesson by eating barbecued bamboo shoots. However, he got a second beating from his own father instead.

When I came out of school, the sun had set a few degrees, dyeing the sky orange and red.
Kan Zherui, who is usually talkative, was very quiet in the back seat.
Lin Qingxu looked through the rearview mirror and saw that he had his head down, which was different from Kan Zhao who was beaten by Kan's father when they had a fight as children.
The latter was heroic and unrepentant.
This one looks more like a poor puppy caught in the rain.
"Sister Qingxu, have I become a bad kid?"
Lin Qingxu held the steering wheel and looked at the road ahead: "Why do you say that?"
"Because I hit someone, and fighting is a bad behavior."
"Fighting is indeed bad." Lin Qingxu said, "So as a punishment, you won't have any caramel pudding for the next week."
Kan Zherui lowered his head even more.
"What reward does Rarity want?"
"Huh?"
"Fighting violence with violence is certainly wrong. But Ruirui's starting point was to protect her classmates, and that's worthy of praise. But next time, don't be impulsive. If you encounter such a situation, always seek help from a teacher first."
"So what reward does kind and brave Rarity want?"
The depressed look disappeared immediately, and Kan Zherui said, "I want caramel pudding!"

Drive into the mall's underground parking lot.
Holding Kan Zherui's hand, we went to the dessert shop on the first floor.
Following the waiter's guidance, we found a table and sat down, and asked Kan Zherui to take the tablet on the table and order whatever he wanted.
It wasn't peak season, so there weren't many people in the store.
Desserts came out quickly.
Kan Zherui bit the spoon for a long time but couldn't finish half the pudding.
He hesitated.
"Sister Qingxu, can you please not tell my uncle about this..." Her face looked red with shame.
Lin Qingxu was a little amused: "Can you tell me the reason?"
Kan Zherui clenched his hands and twisted them together: "He knows he will laugh at me..."
"I see..."
"But your uncle already knew about it. The teacher called him first. If he hadn't been in a meeting at the time, it would have been your uncle who came to the school."
Kan Zherui's heart finally settled down.
It looks so pitiful.
Lin Qingxu didn't mind revealing some negative information about Kan Zhao to comfort him: "But your uncle won't laugh at you, because he also often fought when he was a child."
He added: "Super naughty."
"Huh?" Kan Zherui's eyes were filled with curiosity: "Did he ever bully Sister Qingxu?"
Lin Qingxu nodded.
"How terrible!" Kan Zherui was filled with indignation.
"I also complained to my mother at that time. But my mother didn't care much, saying that Kan Zhao was teasing me because he liked me, and that all boys are like that."
"How could it be! It's obviously not right to do this." Kan Zherui expressed his opinion at the right time.
Lin Qingxu agreed: "So he was the kid I hated the most back then."
My thoughts drifted back to the distant past: "Then a little boy followed his example and pulled my pigtails."
"Kan Zhao beat him up, saying that Lin Xiaoxiao was the only one he could bully."
"In a sense, it protected me once."
"Then Sister Qingxu fell in love with uncle?" Kan Zherui asked.
Lin Qingxu told the truth: "No."
"I hate him even more."
I just think they are birds of a feather.
Even Kan Zhao was more arrogant and domineering.
You want to bully her, but you also don't allow others to bully her.
