In rural areas, boys have a very important status! Yu Hai is a heartless person, why should I even say anything to him!
Chen Hong's eyes sharpened, and she suddenly punched him in the stomach with her right hand.
"Ouch!" Yu Hai cried out in pain, his body arching like a boiled shrimp.
"You barbaric woman, why are you hitting me? Stop it right now! Otherwise, I'll call for help. If Yu Yang hears this, how will you maintain your image as a virtuous wife and loving mother?"
Yu Hai bent over in pain, clutching his stomach tightly with both hands and trying to dodge to the side.
"Oh! Still stubborn. Looks like I didn't hit you hard enough!" Chen Hong didn't expect him to try to sow discord between her and her daughter. This kid's heart is too dirty.
Enraged, she chased after him, pinned him down, and punched him twice in the stomach, scaring him so much that he struggled to circle around the concrete pillar to avoid it.
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! You're being so unreasonable! You start hitting me without warning! If you keep hitting me, I'll really call for help!"
Chen Hong was so angry at his cowardly appearance that she laughed. "Yu Hai, if I wasn't afraid of scaring my son, I would have hit you a long time ago. You are such a scoundrel. I can't let you go even if I want to. You are always trying to disgust people and come to me looking for a beating!"
You're only doing this because your dad's half-dead! If it weren't for the fact that the old man can't do without you, his filial grandson, I'd break your legs.
"Look at you, you pathetic sight! I wouldn't even want to dirty my hands if I hit you! Go back to your ward and watch over your dad. What if your wife pulls the plug while you're gone? You won't have a father today!"
After saying that, Chen Hong stopped chasing him and walked back to her car. She got in, started the car, and drove away from the hospital. She was genuinely worried that her child might have been infected with germs.
I found a pharmacy on the road and bought some medicine to prevent colds and to reduce inflammation and viruses. I also bought a box of disinfectant and put it in the car.
When I got home, I changed both my son and me out of our clothes, took a shower, washed our hair and clothes, and thoroughly disinfected the house. I also carefully repeated the correct seven-step handwashing method to my son before I felt at ease.
Yu Yang was confused by his mother's nervousness, but fortunately, the child was smart and sensible and followed his mother's instructions step by step.
He vaguely understood that it was because of the hospital visit; his mother was worried that his low immunity might cause him to catch a germ and get sick.
Yu Hai returned to the ward covered in sweat, went to the bathroom to urinate, and washed his face.
Looking at his pale face in the mirror, he suddenly felt a little scared.
He secretly regretted his foolishness. They had been separated for so long, how could he forget that beneath Chen Hong's beautiful face lurked a devilish little monster!
When she was young, she was a savage woman who would beat people to death at the slightest disagreement.
After getting married, she lived a peaceful life in her hometown for several years, and no one bothered her. She hadn't gone crazy and hit anyone for many years, which made him forget that she was still that bully!
What a blunder! What a huge blunder!
The right approach to dealing with Chen Hong is to use gentleness to overcome strength. This woman is the type who responds better to softness than force. He used the wrong method and shouldn't have kept criticizing her.
Yu Hai was somewhat annoyed, blaming it all on Liu Lan!
Living with her, complaining, blaming, and cursing gradually became the norm in their family life, and he had gotten used to speaking like that.
He forgot that Chen Hong wouldn't fall for his act; she could turn on him in a heartbeat if he said the wrong thing!
Ah! This is the biggest difference between Liu Lan and Chen Hong!
If Liu Lan turns against him, she might just yell back a few times, or if she gets really angry, she might just scratch him a few times. It won't hurt her at all, and once the matter is over, they'll go back to their lives.
Chen Hong doesn't easily lose her temper, but when she does, she won't stop until she's beaten someone to a pulp. Moreover, she's strong and her blows are heavy-handed, often defeating an opponent in one move, leaving them with no chance to fight back.
To be honest, he used to like her, but he was also a little afraid of her!
When they were together, he always tried his best to coax and please her. He also knew that Chen Hong was a capable person, and he felt safe and secure leaving the family in her care.
At that time, he understood perfectly well that their small, impoverished family needed a woman like Chen Hong. But deep down, he always felt a sense of unease.
Perhaps that was a sign that he was about to cheat on his wife!
He wanted to rely on Chen Hong, but also wanted to be someone else's support. This constant conflict between inferiority and self-esteem led him down a path of misalignment in his life.
Looking back now, I realize that my efforts to pursue Chen Hong were partly driven by admiration for her. It seemed like no problem was insurmountable for her; she could always find a solution, while I just couldn't!
When you're working alone in your familiar comfort zone, you suddenly feel like you're capable of handling any unknown challenges.
So when Liu Lanman was full of reliance and admiration for him, he enjoyed the glory of becoming a real man. He felt that he could be successful in life and work and be a true head of the family.
So he succumbed, he cheated! He used loneliness and insecurity as an excuse to mask his inner insecurities. Frankly, he just wanted to be a real, upright man!
Sometimes he felt conflicted. He didn't know if Liu Lan saw him as a man she could rely on for the rest of her life.
Yu Hai was staring blankly at the bathroom mirror when Liu Lan knocked on the door. "Yu Hai, did you fall into the latrine? Why have you been in there for so long?"
Yu Hai rubbed his face, opened the door and went out. "What's wrong? Is Dad awake?"
"Still the same! What did you gain from chasing after your ex-wife? Did she agree to give you money?"
Yu Hai retorted irritably, "What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with her anymore. Why should she give me money to spend? She doesn't owe me anything."
