Luo Weijia, who had been standing below with a dark expression, took a step and stood on the stage.
Without saying a word, he kicked out with almost all his might, but he also chose the safest spot: the thigh.
Luo Yuejin was kicked by Luo Weijia and staggered to the ground.
The crowd, who had been loudly criticizing the children for pointing fingers, fell silent and looked at Luo Weijia and Luo Yuejin, who had just gotten up.
Luo Weijia's face was as black as hell; at this moment, he really wanted to strangle that idiot Luo Yuejin.
However, no matter what, they were all his children, and he couldn't bear to see them suffer. He had to protect them and not let others bully them.
He suppressed his reluctance and said fiercely, "Tell me, where did you get the key? Who gave it to you?"
Luo Weijia was certain that he hadn't given the key to the child, and he had never encouraged his son to steal anything; he still pinned his hopes on this son.
He felt a surge of resentment, wondering who it was that was so vicious, trying to drag him down with them.
Standing under the platform, he couldn't figure out who was deliberately leading everyone, but he secretly vowed not to let them know who it was, or else they'd better watch out.
Let's deal with this brat first.
He rushed over and kicked Luo Yuejin again, this time in the buttocks. Even with great force, it wouldn't break the skin.
"I told you to steal, and now you've gotten bold, huh? You've even learned to steal? Where did you get the key?"
At this point, it's impossible to shift the blame to someone else. All the children have pointed the finger at Luo Yuejin, and no one will believe him if he tries to point the finger at someone else.
Luo Yuejin, you can't escape this beating.
Luo Weijia hardened his heart and kicked again and again, looking particularly vicious, but Song Lili knew that Luo Yuejin was actually not seriously injured.
It looks like the injury was quite severe, but it only hurts for a few days. Once the pain subsides, everything will be fine.
It seems that Luo Weijia is ruthless and vengeful towards outsiders, but he truly loves his own children.
Finally, I've discovered one redeeming quality in him.
Even if she discovers it, Song Lili will not let Luo Weijia off the hook.
A leopard can't change its spots. Luo Weijia is only good to his own family. He won't be good to others, and he certainly won't be good to her.
Therefore, Luo Weijia must step down.
Luo Yuejin, who was being beaten by Luo Weijia and was crying out in pain, finally couldn't help but say, "I stole it. I stole the key when you weren't paying attention."
He suddenly heard from others that grain tastes good when cooked, and since he didn't dare to steal from his own, he thought of stealing from the warehouse.
As long as no one finds out, everything will be fine. Who knew we'd be so unlucky as to get caught?
When Luo Yuejin shouted this out loud, Luo Weijia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't rest easy.
It's always better to pick out some thorns yourself than to have someone else do it.
He grabbed Luo Yuejin by the back of his collar and demanded, "Tell me, how many times did you steal this?"
"Just once, just this once, and it was discovered."
Luo Yuejin noticed that Luo Weijia's expression was really bad, so he didn't dare to lie and answered whatever Luo Weijia asked.
When the other children heard this question, they shouted in fear, "Just this once, we'll steal it just this once!"
They were afraid of being blamed again, fearing they had been wrongly accused of stealing many times, and they all rushed to defend themselves.
After so many children spoke, Luo Weijia finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that even if he was punished, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Because adults are generally lenient with children; as long as the mistake isn't too serious, they'll punish them lightly.
Sure enough, once the children finished speaking, the villagers quieted down; they were all willing to believe the children.
Some soft-hearted people began to plead, "Secretary, let it go. They probably just thought it was funny. Let's teach them a lesson today so they won't dare to do it again."
"Yes, Secretary, they're just kids, they don't know any better yet. Just call them a few times and they won't do it again."
"Yes, we'll keep a closer eye on the warehouse from now on, and these kids won't dare to do it again."
Some people feel that the children shouldn't be let off so easily, but they also don't want to punish them too severely.
"Secretary, these naughty kids should be taught a lesson and made to return the stolen grain."
"Yes, yes, return the grain, give them a good beating, they definitely won't dare to do it again."
Many people joined in trying to persuade Li Weiguo, and the parents of the children were especially enthusiastic.
In fact, Li Weiguo had never thought about how to punish the children. Like everyone else, he had an exceptionally tolerant heart towards them.
He remained silent, simply observing Luo Weijia's reaction.
Seeing that everyone was pleading for him, he had no choice but to speak up.
"Since everyone says so, then..."
"Who knows if this is their first time stealing? They have the key, so they can't be identified once they're inside the warehouse."
I wonder which corner is where another different sound is coming from.
This time, Luo Weijia reacted very quickly, immediately looking in the direction from which the sound came.
However, there were so many people in the dark that he couldn't tell who had said that sentence at all.
His face was grim, and his gaze moved slowly, inch by inch, trying to find some clues from the expressions of those people, hoping to find that person.
However, to his disappointment, he did not find it.
Li Weiguo was interrupted, so he stopped talking and looked at the people below.
Those who had initially reached a consensus wavered after hearing this.
Yes, nobody knows if these kids have stolen food for the first time.
