"I came here and saw my grandson lying at the door of Captain Ye's house with his head bruised and battered." Old Mrs. Wang pointed at the bloodstains on the ground.
"If no one pushed him or scared him, how could such a cute child of his have his head broken and bleeding?"
Old Mrs. Wang is not stupid. How could a child fall so hard while playing?
"I didn't fall by myself. Someone scared me, so I fell." Wang Xiaodou was not afraid at this time, because he remembered that he was scared.
When everyone heard Wang Xiaodou's words, their eyes turned to Ye Jibai and the other two.
"Who scared you?" Xia Jinghe looked at Wang Xiaodou and took a closer look. There was no bleeding on his head at this moment. A closer look showed that it was just a minor skin scrape.
"I don't know, it sounds like a woman." Wang Xiaodou shook his head and put the candy in his pocket.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Weiwan. Only Zhao Hongmei, who was standing behind the crowd, took a step back subconsciously.
Normally, these kids were naughty and running around, so when she saw two of them trying to climb the wall, she would yell at them. She really didn't expect to scare the kids, and she didn't mean to do that.
If anyone is to blame, it can only be Captain Ye's family. The 꺶 family all eats coarse food, but they make a special stew. This is not her fault.
"We didn't know either. We were cooking in the kitchen at the time. It was only when Aunt Wang knocked on the door that we learned that Xiaodouzi had fallen." Hu Xiaopang quickly clarified.
"Then I don't care. If it weren't for your stewed meat, my grandson wouldn't have run to your door and fallen down." Old Mrs. Wang was unreasonable. Her grandson couldn't kowtow in vain.
"Okay, everyone go home and cook and eat." Xia Jinghe said to the people around her.
Turning to look at Old Lady Wang, "Auntie Wang, I won't say much else. You don't want to come to Captain Ye's house for this matter. If you don't want to do this, I will go to your Captain Wang Zhiyuan to talk it out."
Xia Jinghe really had no way to deal with this old lady Wang. She always did this kind of thing, talking about this family today and that family tomorrow.
There's chaos at home, but she's Captain Wang's mother.
No matter what happens, the son is filial and will cover it, which only gives the guys a headache.
"What's wrong with me? I stole something, my grandson was injured and I can't say anything. Who is the shameless person who scared my grandson to stand up for me?"
Naturally, Old Lady Wang refused to give in and kept shouting at the people on the road.
"Let's go back." Lin Weiwan said to Ye Ji and the white-bearded fat boy.
In this matter, the three of them really didn't know what happened at the door.
"No, you can't leave. If it weren't for your stew, my grandson wouldn't have been injured. You have to take responsibility. Even if you didn't push my grandson, you still bear half the responsibility."
Old Lady Wang suddenly grabbed Lin Weiwan, who looked the thinnest, and pushed him to the ground, where he sat down.
"Ah... we're moving to a new house and the hot pot is blocking you." Fat Hu was amused by Old Lady Wang's logic.
"Okay, just tell me what compensation you want." Lin Weiwan looked at Old Lady Wang and said.
Ye Jibai walked over, pulled away Old Lady Wang's hand and put his wife behind him.
"The child fell because of the stew you made. Just give us the meat."
Old Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and directly put forward the conditions. It was the other party who asked her to say this.
Looking at the busy people with contemptuous expressions, I think that sooner or later, Captain Wang will ruin my mother's future.
"Okay, let your Captain Wang come and get it." Ye Jibai said in a cold voice.
"It doesn't matter if I take it myself. Go and bring it to me." Old Mrs. Wang jumped up from the ground.
"You can't, let your son come and get it and I'll give it to you." Ye Jibai said and looked at Old Lady Wang deeply before taking the two of them back to her own courtyard.
Old Mrs. Wang was once again frightened by Ye Jibai's eyes and didn't know which way was north, south, south, or east. Does this... does this kid look like he wants to kill me?
As if she was frightened, Old Lady Wang twisted her neck and snorted, "Go home."
As he said this, he took Wang Xiaodou home and waited for his son to come back.
The crowd dispersed, the courtyard gate became quiet, and Lin Weiwan quickly heated up the food.
After cooking some fried black fungus, fried eggs and stir-fried meat, the three of them took their seats with rice.
Lin Weiwan looked at Ye Jibai, "What is the origin of this Captain Wang? Why is his mother so rampant?"
Ye Jibai picked up a piece of meat for Lin Weiwan and put it in the bowl, "Captain Wang is ten years older than me and is an experienced captain. He has made several contributions.
He is a brave and good leader of troops, with his own set of skills. He is one of the two wolves and one tiger in the army.
He is very filial to my mother, as for the specific details…" Ye Jibai shook his head, not understanding why his mother was allowed to be like this. Every time, it was Captain Wang who apologized to others and went back to comfort his mother.
“I know this. It is said that… uh…” Fat Hu swallowed the meat in his mouth and cleared his throat.
"When her husband died, Mrs. Wang raised Captain Wang and his brother.
Back then, I was driven out by my husband’s family, and my mother and I almost froze to death in the snow…” Hu Xiaopang said vividly.
Lin Weiwan and Ye Jibai looked at Hu Xiaopang in amazement as he talked endlessly about the Wang family's gossip.
"How do you know all this?" Lin Weiwan couldn't help but ask Hu Xiaopang.
"This... hehe, this is gossip that Old Lady Wang told others herself."
Lin Weiwan had an admiring look on his face, and Ye Jibai couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Captain Wang had worked so hard.
After the three of them had their meal, they took out seeds and planted the tilled vegetable fields.
Peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, Chinese cabbage, beans, cowpeas... Lin Weiwan arranged the positions bit by bit.
One good thing about Yun City is that it is spring all year round and you can grow vegetables at any time.
The three of them planted a good vegetable garden and sat under the eaves. Lin Weiwan made some tea and the three of them drank it quietly while watching the sunset.
In the Wang family's house, Old Lady Wang looked at the dish that hadn't been prepared yet and pointed at her daughter-in-law and started scolding her.
"Look at what you can do. I've been out for so long and you haven't even cooked a dish."
Old Mrs. Wang was already in a bad mood, and when she saw that her daughter-in-law hadn't cooked yet, she got angry.
Wang Xiaodou went to the inner room. When Du Ya came out with the dishes, she saw the blood on her son's head and was so scared that she almost dropped the dish.
"Bean, what's wrong with you?"
"Mom, I fell down."
"What do you mean by falling? It was the captain's family that caused the trouble that night. They stewed meat for no reason and attracted a bunch of kids to run over. Only our little kid got hurt."
"Mom, who did you say was injured?" Wang Zhiyuan heard the last word of injury as soon as he entered the room.
"Oh, son, you better come back. You know how badly we were bullied today. Look at how broken Xiaodouzi's head is."
As he said this, he pulled his grandson's arm and dragged Wang Xiaodou in front of Wang Zhiyuan.
Wang Xiaodou was so scared that he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at his father. He looked around but didn't dare to raise his head.
"Tell me, what's going on." Wang Zhiyuan sat on the chair and looked at his youngest son.
Wang Xiaodou was so frightened that he stole a glance at his father.
