Chapter 27: Swearing to Stay Away from the Virgin Mother (3)
Liu Lan sighed, as if helpless, and put the shoe on him, then bent down and picked up the other one.
"Xiao Quan, although Auntie is usually a little strict with you, it's all for your own good. Now that she's being talked about like this by the villagers, Mommy feels bad. In the future, in addition to protecting Mommy, you also have to protect Auntie, understand?"
Mu Yan looked at Liu Lan with inquiring eyes. Sun Ying was bullied outside, and then he went home and beat the original owner with a willow branch. Was this for his own good?
I'm sorry he can't understand this kind of goodness.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Liu Lan reached out and touched his head, "Xiaoquan is a sensible and good child. He won't let his mother down, right?"
Muyan turned her head away to avoid her touch, cursed inwardly, "You're sick," and jumped out of bed to eat in the yard.
Liu Lan's empty hands hung in the air awkwardly, she sighed softly, and followed him to the yard.
At the dinner table, Sun Ying sat on a low stool, concentrating on eating the rice in the bowl. She didn't even dare to pick up a piece of pickled vegetable shreds in front of her with her chopsticks.
"Sister-in-law, isn't chicken stewed with mushrooms your favorite? Come and eat it," Liu Lan pushed the plate of chicken stewed with mushrooms slightly in front of Sun Ying.
Sun Ying hurriedly shook her head and said, "Give it to Xiaoquan, I don't want to eat it." Then she lowered her head to eat the rice in the bowl, fearing that she would displease Li Zheng who was beside her.
Mu Yan didn't bother to be polite with her. She picked up a chicken leg with her chopsticks and put it in the bowl, then lowered her head and started to eat it.
"Xiao Quan, what did your mother teach you?" Liu Lan put down her chopsticks and looked at Mu Yan unhappily.
Mu Yan, with an innocent face, looked up at Liu Lan timidly and put the half-eaten chicken leg in the bowl into Sun Ying's bowl.
"Auntie, please eat," he said, tears streaming down his face.
Sun Ying looked at the extra half chicken leg in the bowl and felt a burning pain in her back again.
She quickly put the chicken leg back into Muyan's bowl and said, "Xiaoquan, you eat it." Sun Ying wanted to strangle Liu Lan, the short-sighted person, to death.
"Mom, can I eat now?" Muyan asked softly.
"Eat it," Liu Lan said.
Muyan lowered her head and wolfed down the chicken leg with tears in her eyes. She ate too fast and choked, coughing continuously.
Liu Lan wanted to reach out and pat him on the back, but missed. She watched helplessly as Mu Yan was pulled into her mother-in-law's arms to help him calm down.
Mu Yan coughed enough and leaned on Wu Qin's shoulder with a wronged look.
Wanzi shuddered, "Can you please stop doing this and get hard?"
Mu Yan ignored him. This trick always worked. He didn't have to put in any effort. He just had to shed a few tears. Only a fool would do otherwise.
After dinner that day, Wu Qin began to observe Liu Lan intentionally or unintentionally. She suspected that Liu Lan was abusing her grandson behind her back. Otherwise, how could she explain why Mu Yan listened to her so much and felt so wronged, but she didn't dare to refute her.
Liu Lan didn't know that she had become the subject of her mother-in-law's observation. She was caught off guard by Mu Yan's sudden change recently.
He no longer listened to her like before, often turning a deaf ear to what she said, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Liu Lan was lost in thought when she heard a burst of crying coming from the door. When she came to her senses, she saw Li Qiang crying breathlessly and being led into the house by her mother-in-law.
"What's wrong with Xiaoqiang?" Liu Lan was wondering why Muyan suddenly changed a minute ago. When she saw Li Qiang crying, her mind suddenly cleared and she took two steps forward.
Wu Qin told her what happened. It turned out that Li Qiang went to play by the village river and was chased by the village children, who called him a bastard. They also took off his pants and threw him into the river.
Liu Lan took Li Qiang's hand distressedly and said, "These kids' parents don't care about them and let them say all kinds of nonsense."
Li Qiang threw himself into Liu Lan's arms and cried bitterly. Liu Lan's eyes turned red with heartache, and she kept patting his back to comfort him.
Mu Yan was lying on the bed, and when she heard the voices in the yard, she whispered, "Serves you right."
If he were there, I would strip him of his shirt and throw him into the river, letting him run naked around the village.
Wanzi nodded in agreement, "He relied on his strong physique to throw the original owner and the children in the village into the river many times. He only threw his clothes into the river, which was very easy for him.
Mu Yan chuckled, "You are getting better and better now."
Wanzi smiled shyly, "Don't you see who I'm hanging out with?"
Mu Yan was very pleased with his flattery and was about to praise him when she heard the door creak and was pushed open from the outside. She saw Liu Lan leading the crying Li Qiang in.
"Xiao Quan, when you go out to play in the future, ask your brother to come along. If someone bullies him, you have to protect him, okay?"
Mu Yan lay on the bed, glancing at Li Qiang, who was twice as thick as him, and then at Liu Lan, who was stroking Li Qiang's fat head with heartache.
He really couldn't understand her train of thought. When his own son was being chased and beaten by Li Qiang, she didn't say anything about protecting him.
Now let his skinny son protect Li Qiang, who is as strong as a bull.
Is this something a normal person can do?
"I have a stomachache and haven't felt like going out for the past half month," Mu Yan lay on the bed, and there was no sign of discomfort in her voice.
Liu Lan heard him say that he had a stomachache and was about to ask him where it hurt, but when she heard his last sentence, she instantly understood.
"Xiaoquan, what did your mother teach you? You and Xiaoqiang are brothers, you should help each other."
Mu Yan has never been so speechless. The prerequisite for mutual help is that there must be someone to help him.
Muyan inadvertently saw a flash of pride in Li Qiang's eyes, and was about to blurt out a rebuttal to Liu Lan, but swallowed it back.
"My stomach suddenly doesn't hurt anymore. Brother, let's go. I'll take you out to play," Muyan jumped up from the bed, took Li Qiang's hand, and walked out the door.
Seeing him like this, Liu Lan showed a satisfied smile in her eyes. Her son still listened to her as before. She was just imagining things before.
She felt as if a stone had fallen from her heart, and she felt a lot more relaxed.
Half an hour later, Li Qiang was walking in front with purple and blue marks all over his body, crying with his mouth wide open.
Muyan followed behind him, holding a piece of dogtail grass in her mouth, walking at a leisurely pace, with a somewhat nonchalant air.
Before he even entered the house, Li Qiang's crying attracted several adults in the yard to the door.
"What's wrong with you? Who hit you?" Sun Ying hurriedly walked forward to check the injuries on Li Qiang's face. Before her hand touched him, she was pushed by Li Qiang and staggered.
"It's all because of you. The kids in the village called me a bastard. It's all because of you..." Li Qiang's body straightened up, and he yelled at Sun Ying with all his strength.
Liu Lan supported Sun Ying who was about to fall, "Xiao Qiang, how can you say that about your mother? Anyone can say that about her, but you can't."
Li Qiang could no longer listen to her preaching and rushed towards Sun Ying headfirst, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Muyan stood at the door, her small body only reaching the keyhole, leaning against the door frame, with an expression of watching a show, which looked a bit funny.
