Chapter 12 "Mom..."

Smart Su Zhiqing would not be the one who got into trouble.

She had read the original story, so she knew that Zhou Linglan would clean up after the original owner got into trouble. If the original owner picked a cucumber, she would pay him two. If she snatched a candy from a kid, she would pay him back. That's why the original owner did this. Zhou Linglan's reputation in the brigade was not affected at all. Instead, she felt sorry for her family's misfortune and married such a wasteful woman. So, no matter how much they scolded her, everyone actually wanted the original owner to pick their things.

Su Taotao took the initiative to pay for the little black charcoal candy because she didn't want to leave a shadow on the kid's childhood.

Su Taotao did not dare to walk too far, so she just dug at the edge of the field. She did not know many wild vegetables, so she dug a small basket and saw that it was about time, so she went to the school to pick up the children.

This was the first time ever.

Her "glorious deeds" at Rongshutou had already spread throughout the brigade, and members pointed at her along the way.

It is true that people are afraid of fame just like pigs are afraid of getting fat, but she was thick-skinned and did not care.

When she arrived at the school, she saw Fu Yuanhang carrying Chenchen from a distance.

There was no way, her two children were good-looking and could be recognized at a glance.

Su Taotao smiled and waved at them: "Xiaohang, Chenchen, here, here..."

Su Taotao shouted, and all the little radish heads looked towards her.

Curious classmates asked: "Fu Yuanhang, who is she?"

Fu Yuanhang's body stiffened, and whispered: "My sister-in-law..."

The classmates widened their eyes: "Su Wen... ahem, it turns out to be Chenchen's mother." After that, they whispered, "Why does she have such a bad reputation when she is so beautiful?"

Suddenly, a tall male classmate rushed up from behind Fu Yuanhang, pinched Chenchen's face heavily, and made a face at him after pinching, and Chenchen cried "wow". The tall

classmate laughed on the side and was ready to pinch.

As the saying goes, mother and son are connected by heart. Seeing this, Su Taotao's blood rushed to her head. She rushed over quickly and threw the small basket of wild vegetables in her hand at the tall boy: "Are you tired of living? How dare you bully my son!"

The boy was stunned by her. He usually played with Chenchen like this. Why did he react so strongly?

Su Taotao took Chenchen from Fu Yuanhang's back and held him in her hands. She saw that his face was indeed red and swollen. No wonder he cried so badly. It was the first time she saw this good boy crying after so long.

Of course the tall male classmate also noticed that Chenchen’s face was swollen, and he felt a little guilty at the moment: "I, I didn’t mean it, I was just joking with him..."

Su Taotao sneered: "Joking? Can I play a joke if I pinch your face until it’s swollen? How old are you and how old is he? Don’t you know how much strength you should use when you hit him at such a big age?"

The tall male classmate wanted to argue: "Chenchen has no parents to take care of him, he never cries normally..."

Fu Yuanhang saw Chenchen’s face so red, and he was already so angry that he clenched his fists. How could he bear it when he heard this? He threw a punch at him: "Chenchen has a father, a mother, a grandmother, and a little uncle like me!"

Fu Yuanhang was not easily angry. If he was provoked, he might not care about it because he had a good temper, but if he provoked Chenchen, he would not forgive him easily.

There were also classmates who pinched Chenchen's face and touched his head gently. As long as Chenchen was not hurt, he would not care. But this time, Zhang Tiezhu was obviously doing it on purpose.

Zhang Tiezhu was stunned by Fu Yuanhang. Relying on the fact that he was taller than Fu Yuanhang, he immediately rushed over and said, "Fu Yuanhang, you are so brave that you dare to hit me!"

But before he could touch Fu Yuanhang, Su Taotao grabbed his wrist and pushed him back heavily:

"Speak clearly, whose father are you? The father of my Xiaohang, my father-in-law, is a martyr. He is still lying in the tomb of the Martyrs Cemetery. On Qingming Festival, he will accept worship from you ignorant brats. You dare to touch my Xiaohang? I will make your whole family repent in front of my father-in-law's tomb."

Su Taotao was calm and composed, and her voice was even lower than usual when she spoke, but Zhang Tiezhu was so frightened by her eyes and momentum that he didn't even dare to move.

At this time, some of the older children vaguely remembered that the elders in the family seemed to have said that Fu Yuanhang was different from other children who lost their fathers. His father was a very powerful military officer. He was an orphan of a martyrdom. However, Fu Yuanhang was unlucky. His father died when he was still in his mother's belly. He never even saw him.

Because it was too long ago, Zhou Linglan would not mention it. Gradually, everyone forgot about it. If Su Taotao hadn't mentioned it, no one would remember it.

Su Taotao looked around and continued, "Listen to me carefully. If I find out who dares to bully our Xiaohang and Chenchen again, I will not show mercy. Do you understand?"

Zhang Tiezhu was a bully in the school. Relying on the fact that he was taller than other children, he loved to play tricks on others. The children who had been tricked by him or had a good relationship with Fu Yuanhang felt very happy and shouted in unison, "Listen carefully!"

Those little idiots who had "bullied" Fu Yuanhang or Chenchen lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look Su Taotao in the face.

Su Taotao nodded with satisfaction, "Let's all go." Then, without even looking at the tall male classmate, she turned to Fu Yuanhang and said, "Xiaohang, take the wild vegetables with you, and let's go home."

Fu Yuanhang's eyes were red as he picked up the wild vegetables scattered on the ground and put them back into the basket.

On the way home, Su Taotao whispered to Fu Yuanhang:

"Xiao Hang did nothing wrong just now. We don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but we can't be afraid of it. If someone dares to bully us like this again in the future, we can't swallow our anger. But Xiao Hang, remember that force is the worst way to solve problems. Most of the time, it will result in killing one thousand enemies

and injuring eight hundred of our own. Unless the situation forces us to do so or we are sure of winning, we will never use force to solve the problem. Once it comes to the point where we have to take action, we must be ruthless and subdue the opponent on the premise of ensuring our own safety and not hurting our lives, so that the opponent will be afraid, obey, and obey. "I will be afraid of you every time I see you in the future, so that I can solve the problem once and for all. But Xiaohang, your physical condition is still too poor, so you can't do this for the time being. If you start fighting, we will suffer. Whatever happens in the future, you can come home and discuss it with me first, and we will work together to find a solution. Your brother is not at home, and there is no man to support us at home. We must never do things like fighting against stones with eggs. Do you understand?"

Fu Yuanhang looked at her blankly and nodded woodenly. This was the first time since he grew up that he had his family to protect him and teach him the principles of life.

Fu Yuanhang was shocked. From childhood to adulthood, since he could remember, no one had ever said such words to him, not even his brother. He had never seen his father, and his brother didn't stay at home much, so he had even less time to spend with him.

When he was young, when the villagers mentioned his father, they either said that he was unlucky and had never seen his father, or that he was the one who killed his father. He was clearly a glorious orphan of a martyred country, but he never dared to mention it.

This was the first time he mentioned his father since he grew up, and he felt honored and proud.

It's not that Zhou Linglan didn't teach him or protect him, but Zhou Linglan's temperament was completely different from Su Taotao's, and their ways of dealing with things were also completely different. Zhou Linglan was too gentle, and she would apologize first no matter whether she was right or wrong. To put it nicely, it was to calm things down, but to put it bluntly, it was to smooth things over, which also led to his inferiority and cowardice.

Just like the fact that other people came to the house to use the toilet, his mother and he obviously didn't like it, but they endured it for so many years.

If it weren't for the sister-in-law, they would have continued to endure it.

The sister-in-law is really different now. She has become generous, confident, brave, daring, and smart, like the sun shining brightly. Fu Yuanhang is very sure that the sister-in-law is really different from before.

For the first time, the smart and sensitive child felt that it was great to have such a sister-in-law.

The child's skin was too tender, and Chenchen's face was swollen

when he returned home. The boy was still young, and the wound was near his mouth. Su Taotao did not dare to apply medicated wine to him, fearing that he would accidentally swallow it. She boiled an egg at a moderate temperature and gently rolled it on his face, blowing it while rolling:

"Don't be afraid, Chenchen, it won't hurt in a while."

After this time, the boy had completely let down his guard against her, and his big round eyes stared at her from time to time, without the previous confusion and helplessness, as if repeatedly confirming that this was his mother.

Su Taotao loved this good kid so much that she couldn't help but kiss him on the other side of his face that wasn't injured: "Chenchen is so brave, you're not afraid anymore, mom will protect you in the future."

Chenchen didn't know what other children were like when they were his age, but he could understand every word adults said, and he remembered a lot of things. He could tell from everyone's eyes, tone of voice or attitude whether they were kind or malicious to

him. He knew that his mother didn't like him before, but it wasn't that she didn't like him, maybe she liked herself more, she would be good to herself, but not to him, she would keep good things to herself and not share them with him, but she would share his things to eat, and she wouldn't take him out to play, and she didn't have the patience to talk to him, she only thought about herself when she did anything, and even forgot his existence.

Chenchen knew that he was loved by his grandmother and uncle, and it didn't matter whether his mother liked him or not, or whether she was good to him or not. He just felt that his mother seemed different from other people's mothers.

He only felt these two days that his mother suddenly became very good and liked him very much. Although he didn't know why, he could feel his mother's kindness and love.

Especially just now, when brother Zhuzi bullied him, his mother was very angry and helped him fight back hard. Chenchen knew all this.

"Mom..." By the time Chenchen reacted, these two words had already come out.

With a "click", the egg in Su Taotao's hand fell to the ground.

She was ecstatic, staring at the little boy's big wet eyes: "Chenchen, my dear, what did you say just now? Did you call me mommy just now? Did you call me mommy just now?"
