Seeing this, Zhang Sen quickly snatched the torn certificate from Sun Xiaohao's hands, and took the initiative to tell his cousin Zhao Ming about it. He also sincerely apologized to his cousin, saying that it was because he failed to take good care of his younger cousin.
Although Zhao Ming felt sorry for his certificate, he had no intention of holding his two younger cousins accountable.
Fortunately, he thought, it was only torn in two pieces. If he glued it together, it would still be a symbol of his glory.
The matter was supposed to have passed like this, but Sun Xiaohao started to cause trouble again.
When he saw Zhang Sen going to Zhao Ming with a torn certificate, he knew that Zhang Sen must be going to file a complaint against him.
He simply took the initiative. Before Zhang Sen and Zhao Ming finished speaking, he quickly ran to find his aunt, second aunt and mother who were busy in the kitchen, and described another version of the certificate incident in front of the adults.
According to Sun Xiaohao, the culprit who tore up the certificate was Zhang Sen, because he himself did not win the certificate.
The words spoken by the three-year-old child did not cause any big waves. The adults even laughed and said that he had learned to complain at such a young age.
However, when the meal was almost ready, Yuan Jie's second sister Yuan Fang wiped her hands and asked her son Zhang Sen if this was true.
From the old couple to the brothers and sisters, the Yuan family attaches great importance to the education of their children, especially the education of their moral character.
Yuan Fang was worried that her son was really jealous of Zhao Ming who received the certificate, just as Sun Xiaohao said.
Seeing Zhang Sen and Zhao Ming just gluing the torn certificate back together, Yuan Fang walked over and asked with a smile, "Mingming, why is the certificate torn? Was it Sen Sen who broke it?"
Zhang Sen was about to explain to his mother when Zhao Ming spoke first, "Second Aunt, please don't wrongly accuse my brother. It was Xiaohao who just broke the certificate. If Sen Sen hadn't been so quick to save it, I'm afraid it would have died heroically!"
As Zhao Ming spoke, he shook the certificate in his hand, which had been glued tightly shut.
He just saw Sun Xiaohao go to the kitchen, and not long after, Second Aunt came straight to find Sen Sen. Although he didn't hear what that little brat Sun Xiaohao said in person, he had already guessed it roughly.
Especially when the second aunt asked if it was Zhang Sen who broke the certificate, he confirmed his guess that it must be Sun Xiaohao who was the villain and went to complain first.
How could he be so sensitive to things related to Sun Xiaohao? The reason was simply because he had been tricked by Sun Xiaohao not long ago.
Logically speaking, eight-year-old Zhao Ming shouldn't be so petty with three-year-old Sun Xiaohao, and he is not such a petty person, but this little brat is really hateful.
The most recent meeting was also at his home. Sun Xiaohao was attracted by a car model on Zhao Ming's desk, which was a birthday gift from Zhao Ming.
Seeing that Sun Xiaohao liked it very much, he agreed to let him play with it for a while, and told Sun Xiaohao to take good care of his toys and not break them.
But Sun Xiaohao couldn't bear to let go of the car once he picked it up, wanting to keep it for himself. After Zhao Ming clearly refused, Sun Xiaohao got angry and threw the car heavily to the ground. Not only that, he also lay on the ground and started to throw a tantrum, screaming and yelling.
At that time, Sun Xiaohao was the youngest child of the third generation of the Yuan family, so he was usually spoiled by the adults. When they heard the crying, the adults hurried to Zhao Ming's room.
When Sun Xiaohao saw that his backer had arrived, he cried even harder. While crying, he accused Zhao Ming of wrongdoing, saying that Zhao Ming didn't let him play with his toys and even pushed him down.
Because of this, Zhao Ming was beaten up for no reason.
Didn't Zhao Ming have a mouth? Didn't he have any explanation? Of course he had to defend himself, but his words were useless. Who would believe that a child under three years old would frame someone?
Seeing that Sun Xiaohao described the matter in such a convincing manner, if Zhao Ming himself was not the person involved, he would have almost believed what Sun Xiaohao said.
Fortunately, the aunt did not take sides to protect her child. She was spanked a few times by her mother, but was pulled away by her aunt in time. She also apologized to her for Sun Xiaohao breaking the toy.
Although the incident passed, Zhao Ming still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. He even described the cause and effect of the incident to Zhang Sen, who was one year younger than him, so that he could learn from it.
But Zhang Sen was so stupid that he took the initiative to get close to Sun Xiaohao. If he didn't trust Zhang Sen's character and had personally experienced the feeling of being distorted and slandered by Sun Xiaohao, I'm afraid Zhang Sen would have suffered as well.
In order to make Zhang Sen remember this lesson, Zhao Ming planned to perform a small play.
"Aunt, please don't talk for a while!" Zhao Ming greeted Yuan Fang in advance.
Although Yuan Fang didn't know what he was going to do, she thought the children were very interesting and wanted to join in the fun.
Zhao Ming walked up to Yuan Rui with the certificate in hand and said aggrievedly, "Mom, the certificate I received before winter break was just torn up by Sen Sen!"
While busy setting the table, Yuan Rui casually said, "Sen Sen didn't mean it. Just be more careful next time, right, Sen Sen?"
"Aunt, I didn't break the certificate, it was~"
Before he could say the word "Xiaohao", Sun Xiaohao, who was eating candy on the sofa, could no longer sit still and immediately came out to identify the "culprit" Zhang Sen.
After all, Zhang Sen was also a child, and there were only two of them present at the time, while he would have to go and complain in front of several adults.
Compared to offending a child, losing the trust of adults is more of a crisis for Sun Xiaohao.
Zhang Sen was completely overwhelmed by the oncoming thunder of injustice. No, he was still so young, how could he have mastered the skill of telling lies with open eyes?
Thinking of what his cousin Zhao Ming had told him not long ago, he thought his cousin was making a fuss out of nothing. It seemed that he didn't feel the pain unless the knife stabbed him!
He was about to make a few more excuses for himself, but Zhao Ming grabbed his shoulder and dragged him into the bedroom, while deliberately shouting: "My dear brother, be careful next time, I don't blame you!"
Looking at the backs of the two little brothers arm in arm, the adults laughed. Only the tiny Sun Xiaohao felt a little nervous and resentful.
Where did this resentment come from? Wasn't it from the last time he wronged Zhao Ming, when Zhao Ming caught him alone with Sun Xiaohao, and pinched his thigh several times, and threatened him not to do it again.
Sun Xiaohao still has tears in his eyes when he thinks about that feeling ~ it was so painful!
If it weren't for the grudge they made that time, he wouldn't have thought of tearing up Zhao Ming's certificate.
It was just the right time for Zhang Sen to become the scapegoat that gave him the impulsive idea.
However, he couldn't understand why Zhao Ming was so generous to Zhang Sen, but so cruel to his youngest brother?
