Chapter 14 is heartbreaking.
Lu Mingyue was holding a small package, which was a gift she had bought for the two children with the spare change she had on her.
When meeting for the first time, as an elder, one should always show some courtesy.
I don't know if this gift will suit their taste, but I hope they will like it.
Lu Mingyue prepared a surprise for the two children, but little did she know that the two children had also prepared a surprise for her.
Family compound.
"You little brat, get down here right now!"
A middle-aged woman with a pointed face and monkey-like features stood under the tree, pointing at the people above and cursing them.
Yao Yao glanced down at the tree and accidentally met the other person's fierce eyes. She shrank back in fright and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother, what do we do? Will Dog-Sheng's mother climb up and grab us?"
Leilei took out two pieces of cotton from his pocket and reassured his sister, "She can't climb trees, she only dares to shout from below. I'll plug your ears so you won't hear her."
Yao Yao looked at her brother with admiration, "Brother is so smart."
Leilei thoughtfully stuffed the cotton into her mouth, took out a piece of candy from his pocket and put it in his sister's mouth. The two siblings swung their little feet and were very comfortable.
Gou Sheng's mother was shouting so hard her throat was practically burning, and seeing the two of them acting like this made her so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
"You just wait, if you're so capable, don't come home."
Lei Lei made a face at her, "You bad woman, bullying them while Dad's not home. When Dad comes back, I'll make her pay!"
At a young age, Leilei already understands the importance of having a powerful backer. In his eyes, his father is the most powerful person in the family compound, and many of his uncles are his defeated opponents.
Gousheng bullies them, and Gousheng's mother bullies them too. If their father finds out, he will be angry, and the consequences will be severe!
Seeing that the two people wouldn't come down, Gou Sheng's mother put her hands on her hips and left, cursing.
"I need to find someone and have a serious talk with them. How does the Huo family raise their children? Children without parents are really ill-mannered."
Dog's mother left, muttering to herself.
Seeing the danger in the yard, the two children climbed down from the tree.
"Brother, where are we going now?"
Lei Lei pursed his lips and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Let's go home."
Uncle Qin said that his father was coming back today and would bring that person with him. Thinking of what the aunts said about stepmothers and stepfathers, a trace of sadness flashed in Lei Lei's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
My father wasn't that kind of person. The words of my aunts seemed to seep into my ears, every single one of them penetrating every nook and cranny.
"What's wrong with my brother?"
Yao Yao noticed that her brother's expression was off, as if he was about to cry, so she quickly grabbed his hand and asked him with concern.
"It's alright, let's go."
They were located inside the family compound, but it was still about ten minutes away from the residential area.
Before the brother and sister even reached their doorstep, they were caught by Gou Sheng's mother, who was lying in wait.
"How about that? I caught you after all."
"Gousheng, hurry up and go find Director Wang."
As family members, if you couldn't teach the two children a lesson privately, surely you could teach them a lesson publicly?
Wang Lixia had barely settled into her office when Gou Sheng dragged her outside.
"What's wrong with Gou Sheng?"
"Grandma Wang, Leilei and his sister throw poop into my house."
"What?"
Wang Lixia felt she was about to lose the ability to understand the words, so she hurriedly followed behind Gou Sheng.
On the way, they asked Gousheng what had happened. Gousheng scratched his head and shook it, saying, "I don't know what happened either."
At first, Gousheng thought it was his fault that his mother went to settle accounts with Leilei.
After all, he had been beaten up by Leilei a couple of days ago.
He only managed to beat Leilei after losing seven or eight times. Now that his mother is making a scene, won't his reputation for victory be ruined?
But after Leilei started throwing manure into his house, he realized it wasn't because of him.
Unfortunately, his little brain had limited capacity; he sensed something was wrong, but he didn't know why.
Wang Lixia saw the scene of one large and two small people facing off from afar.
"Cuifen, what are you doing here?" Wang Lixia asked, puzzled.
It's ridiculous for such a grown man to be arguing with two children. Doesn't he care what others think?
Li Cuifen looked aggrieved. "Director Wang, you don't know, these two kids are so naughty. Not only did they throw manure into my house, but it also landed right on my head. Who would believe that it wasn't intentional?"
After saying that, she pursed her lips, as if she could smell the stench of feces, and a wave of nausea rose from her stomach, almost making her vomit.
Today, I must make those two brats kowtow and admit their mistakes. Otherwise, how can I, Li Cuifen, be bullied by these two little kids?
"You big bad guy, it was you who spoke ill of Daddy."
Yao Yao's face flushed red, and she glared at Li Cuifen with fiery eyes.
“You little brat, you’re so young and you’re talking nonsense. Which ear of yours heard me say anything bad about your dad? Your dad is so powerful, who would dare to say anything bad about him?”
That's true. Huo Zheng's fighting ability is among the best in the eyes of his family. There are very few people who have beaten him.
Despite Li Cuifen's tough demeanor, she might not be able to utter a single word when actually standing in front of Huo Zheng.
Her voice was shrill, and when it reached Wang Lixia's ears, it gave her a headache. "Alright, let's talk things out slowly."
She turned to Grandma and asked, "Yaoyao, can you tell Grandma what happened?"
Yao Yao is only three years old this year and her ability to express herself is not strong. She looked at her older brother for help.
"Grandma Wang, I was wrong about this. I apologize to my aunt."
Li Cuifen, who was just about to have a big fight, deflated like a punctured balloon upon hearing this.
How can one person perform a one-man show?
She was even prepared to have the Huo family pay back the money they spent on her soiled clothes. Now that he has apologized, will she forgive him or not?
Li Cuifen was caught in a dilemma.
Wang Lixia patted his head and said softly, "Grandma is here to uphold justice. If you have been wronged, tell Grandma so that we can help you resolve the issue."
Based on her understanding of the two children and Li Cuifen, the two children didn't seem like the type to cause trouble for no reason.
Li Cuifen is a gossip, and she has had many conflicts with other family members because of her mouth.
When Gousheng went to see her, she had a bad feeling, but she never expected that Gousheng would get into a fight with the two children this time.
Leilei stubbornly shook his head, "No, Grandma Wang was wrong, punish me instead."
"Director Wang, you heard it with your own ears. I didn't wrong him, did I? At such a young age, he's not learning good things and is doing such annoying things. He's really bringing shame to Comrade Huo. If I were Comrade Huo, I would have left them long ago."
Li Cuifen said gloatingly.
“Li Cuifen!” Wang Lixia’s voice was stern, signaling her to stop.
Li Cuifen seemed oblivious to everything, still muttering to herself.
Yao Yao's eyes reddened, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "I want my daddy, waaaaah..."
Leilei's little head drooped, clearly also affected by Li Cuifen's words.
"Leilei, Yaoyao, Daddy's home."
Lei Lei's ears twitched. Did he hear his father's voice?
Oh dear, look at these two poor little ones crying, it's so heartbreaking.
