Looking at the little guy's pale face, Lin Zhao couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Are you okay?" she asked with concern.
Maodan coughed several times, smiled, and said stubbornly, "It's okay."
The one with a pale face looked like he had something wrong.
Before Lin Zhao could say anything, the twins rushed to her side. The two children looked very unhappy, their eyes were red like rabbits, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes.
"Mom will touch me. Don't be afraid. Mom and your dad are here." Lin Zhao hugged her two sons with a gentle look on her face.
The two kids must have been terrified after seeing their friend being pushed down!
The cat nestled in his arms had a flash of envy in its eyes and lowered its eyes slightly.
He misses his mother so much.
If his mother were here, she would definitely hold him in her arms and comfort him.
Erzai looked up at Lin Zhao and stamped his feet in anger.
"Mom, Wang Yaozu pushed Maodaner. He pushed Maodaner into the river! He wanted to kill Maodaner. He is a murderer!"
After making the complaint, he spat at Wang Yaozu.
The eldest son shared the same hatred for the enemy as his younger brother.
He glared fiercely at Wang Yaozu, who still knew he was wrong, and clenched his hands in anger.
"Mom, Maodan won't move after being rescued. If Dad hadn't blown air into his mouth, he would have turned into a pile of dirt! Mom, Wang Yaozu is a bad kid. Can you ask the police to take him away?"
This is how Lin Zhao taught her two sons: those who did wrong would be punished by the police, so the eldest son said this.
When Wang Yaozu heard what the eldest son said, the indifferent expression on his face disappeared. He hid behind his grandmother and shook Wang Po's arm desperately, shouting, "Grandma, I don't want to be taken away by the police!"
Mrs. Wang was very angry, not at her grandson, but at the twins.
She looked at Lin Zhao, her son and her two children and said confidently, "Why do we need to report such a small matter to the police? How old is my Yaozu? How could he think of killing someone? He was just playing with Maodan. Children don't take things lightly. It's normal for them to get bumped. If you report such a small matter to the police, they will be so busy that they will die."
Fortunately, he is a child of the Gu family, otherwise she would have scolded him and said it’s none of your business.
Lin Zhao was more annoyed by the naughty parents than the naughty children. She said with a fake smile, "You almost got yourself killed while playing. If your baby really has bad intentions, you will massacre the whole village."
"Your Yaozu is several years older than my eldest and second sons, right? My sons all know that children should stay away from the river. If they fall into the river, they will die. How could your Yaozu not know that? If he really doesn't know, don't blame me for speaking harshly. You should worry about whether his brain is normal."
He didn't utter a single dirty word.
Mrs. Wang was so angry that her face turned red. She shouted, "Lin Zhao!"
Lin Zhao scratched her ears and said, "Don't shout so loudly. There's nothing wrong with my ears. I can hear you."
She didn't look at the Wang family, but at the captain, and said, "Captain, we can't just brush this matter aside because Wang Yaozu is a child!"
"If he doesn't realize that he is killing people, when he grows up, he will be a cancer in our village and endanger the entire society."
"Besides, I'm also worried that he might push my child one day. You know, he's taller and stronger than my child, so my child is definitely no match for him. I will definitely keep my child away from him."
It was almost stated explicitly that the captain should severely punish Wang Yaozu.
This is Lin Zhao’s attitude.
Being young is not an excuse to do bad things, she believes that children need to be educated, especially when they do something wrong.
As Lin Zhao spoke, Gu Chenghuai stood beside her, silently supporting his wife.
When Mrs. Wang glared at her, the man looked back with his deep and murderous black eyes, which made the Wang family members dare not make a scene.
After listening to Lin Zhao's words, the villagers felt that what Dazai's mother said made sense.
The Wang family’s golden egg is a bit overbearing!
"Captain, Wang Yaozu needs to be taught a lesson! Today he didn't like Maodan and pushed him into the river. Maybe he will push other children into the river tomorrow if he doesn't like them. This is too dangerous. With someone like him around, I won't dare let my children run around anymore." Yuanbao's mother looked worried.
"Yes, yes!" Da Zhuang's mother followed up, "Mao Dan'er was lucky. It was thanks to Erzai that he saw it and called the adults in time. If there was no one around, he would have died."
The captain's wife was also afraid that her grandson would be harmed, so she said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Wang Yaozu is old and taller than many children in the village. If he bullies children younger than him, those children will have no chance to fight back. He must be taught a lesson!"
The captain has a headache.
"Go away, what do you have to do with it? Don't make trouble."
The situation was already chaotic enough, and now his wife is adding to the chaos. The team leader is really overwhelmed.
The captain's wife was a hot-tempered person. She was immediately dissatisfied and said, "What did I say wrong, you old man? You are the captain and you don't allow the people to speak. Look how capable you are."
"..."
The captain glared at the woman and ignored her.
Turning to look at Mrs. Wang, she started to scold him: "Wang family, what happened to your Yaozu? Pushing someone into the river? Is that something he could do? If it wasn't for Erzai's cleverness, knowing how to call adults and saving Maodan in time, and Chenghuai just happened to know how to do artificial respiration, your grandson would have killed someone today and would have been shot!"
Wang Yaozu is young and won’t swallow a bullet, but that doesn’t stop him from scaring people.
The captain is the most powerful person in the entire brigade, and few people dare to confront him.
Mrs. Wang didn't throw a tantrum, but she felt that they were making a big fuss, so she argued, "Children don't understand..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the captain: "What kid!"
Seeing that Wang Pozi didn't know she was wrong, he was furious. "She's almost ten years old. She should be getting married in a few years. How can she be a child?"
He is very strict and has a loud voice.
Wang Yaozu was frightened, and everyone in the village looked at him with displeasure, so he pestered his grandmother to go home.
"Grandma, I want to go home."
The captain glared at him and said angrily: "Why go home? Go home! Who told you to push someone?"
Wang Yaozu had been coaxed by his family since he was a child, and no one had ever been so harsh to him. He was annoyed and angry, "I'll beat you to death!"
Rushed over to hit the captain.
The captain's son grabbed the back of his neck.
The young man sneered, "Who are you going to hit? We are all here. How dare you be so arrogant? You must be lawless in private."
"Dad, we can't just ignore this," he said.
Mrs. Wang rushed over and hit his hand, "Let go of my grandson, why are you pinching him? Can you afford to pay for it if you pinch him to death? This is the only child in our Wang family."
Before she could pounce on him, the captain's son threw Wang Yaozu on her, and the two of them fell into a ball.
The captain's face was full of disapproval.
really.
Mrs. Wang didn't get up. She sat on the ground, slapping her thighs and howling, "The captain's son is going to beat someone to death. Is there anyone who can help us, the grandparents..."
It's like performing an opera.
Zhao Liuniang taunted sarcastically, "If you didn't know, you would think it was your Wang Yaozu who was pushed into the river."
Others also reprimanded the unreasonable Mrs. Wang.
"Yaozu, that's enough."
"Your Yaozu even beat the captain. He's been spoiled."
"If this were my child, I would have slapped him on the butt a long time ago. But yours... you're still protecting him. Aren't you afraid that he'll throw you into the river when you're old?" Changsheng's uncle, who was watching the fun, said in a loud voice.
“Who is the one who is suffering?”
…
Lin Zhao gave a small handful of cat ears to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, kept a handful for herself, and gave a piece to Gu Chenghuai from time to time. She gave the rest, along with the bag, to the eldest son, so that they could share it.
She immediately said, "Maodan is younger than Wang Yaozu. He suffered so much but he didn't cry or make a fuss. A child's character can be seen at the age of three. Maodan will definitely be successful when he grows up."
Maodan'er's face turned red, her pale complexion became more rosy, and her eyes became bright.
Mrs. Wang paused in her wailing and became very angry.
What does it mean? Does this mean that her Yaozu grew up to be a failure? !
They wanted to make trouble, so the captain sternly told the Wang family the punishment.
She no longer had the heart to tear apart Gu family's daughter-in-law, and she cried and howled.
“Oh my god, this is killing me.”
The twins' ears were hurt by the noise, so they each reached out a hand to cover each other's ears. The movements are synchronized, worthy of being born from the same belly.
Erzai looked at Wang Po with disdain and turned his back.
He faced Lin Zhao, ate a cat ear, and thought it tasted delicious. He asked, "Mom, what is this?"
"Cat ears." Lin Zhao said.
The second child was a little confused.
Lin Zhao looked at her son's confused face and explained with a smile, "Do you think it looks like a kitten's ear?"
Erzai looked at it and said, "Yes."
There are many rats in the village, so some people raise tabby cats. He has seen cats.
"Mom, can we have a cat at home?" Erzai wanted to have a cat, mainly because he thought cats were soft and it would definitely be nice to hold them while sleeping.
Lin Zhao looked down at her son and asked, "Want to get a cat?"
"Yeah." Erzai nodded heavily.
"You can keep a cat, but..." Lin Zhao paused, and before the child could say anything else, she said seriously, "You have to take care of the cat yourself. I won't help you."
"Of course." Erzai said happily, "I will take good care of the cat just like I took care of Dahuang and Amber."
Lin Zhao also wanted to have a cat, one that was not too healing to the touch and could catch mice.
"Okay, I'll keep the one if I find one that's suitable."
The second cub's little wish was fulfilled, and the little guy's eyes lit up surprisingly.
It makes me happy.
The eldest was also looking forward to it, but he was thinking about other things now.
"Mom, can I eat cat eggs?"
He felt that Maodan had suffered a lot today and deserved to eat something delicious. When he fell down before, his mother gave him a White Rabbit candy, and he immediately felt no longer aggrieved.
"No, Maodan just choked on water. The water in the river is not clean. He is weak right now, so it's best not to eat anything." Lin Zhao was worried that dirty water would enter Maodan's lungs, so she thought about reminding the team leader later and asking someone to send the child to the hospital for a check-up.
"Your grandma asked me to bring back a pheasant. I'll kill it this afternoon and make chicken soup. You two can go give Maodan a bowl of soup then."
She believed that no amount of care could be too much for the orphans of heroes.
The eldest child smiled brightly, "I want to thank my mother on behalf of Maodan."
Grandma is so nice.
"I'll help mother kill the chicken!" Erzai said angrily, biting the cat's ears in his mouth to pieces.
"..." Lin Zhao was silent for a moment, his expression serious, "How old are you? You can't even hold a knife steadily, how can you kill a chicken? Have you forgotten what I said?"
The second child smiled obediently, "Remember, remember, children are not allowed to hold knives."
Seeing his father watching the show, his clear eyes turned and said, "I won't kill the chicken, let Dad do it."
The mother and son stood in the corner and talked in low voices.
Wang Yaozu's incident of pushing Maodan'er finally resulted in a punishment amid a roar -
The Wang family compensated the Ning family with fifty yuan, a basket of eggs, and an old hen. Not only that, Wang Yaozu also had to receive education from the brigade and had to cut grass for pigs for a month without the help of any of Wang's family members, as the brigade would send someone to supervise him.
Bad children will be punished, and guardians will also be punished. The Wang family was punished to carry manure for a month. This job was dirty, tiring and messy, so no one wanted to do it. The Wang family was punished to carry manure, and the villagers were very happy.
"Tsk tsk, this punishment is not light. The Wang family will be in pain for a while now." Zhao Liuniang said in a low voice.
Fifty yuan is a lot of money. The couple didn't even have that much pocket money. They saved for several years to save up more than twenty yuan.
Gu's mother was not an evil mother-in-law. She did not allow her daughters-in-law to have even a penny. Apart from work points, she tacitly allowed them to keep the money earned from weaving baskets for themselves.
Lin Zhao said, "It's good that there is a punishment, so that the child will know that it is wrong to hurt others. The Wang family is reluctant to educate him, but the brigade cannot just ignore him."
If there is another scoundrel in the village in the future, it will not be good for the whole team.
Huang Xiulan felt that what her third sister-in-law said made sense. "Children need to be taught well. They shouldn't do anything that hurts others. Wang Yaozu didn't hit them enough!"
Is this loving the child? No, it is harming the child.
The villagers gathered in pairs, complaining that the Wang family did not know how to educate their children.
The team leader saw these people watching the fun and the educated youth hiding in the back watching, and he was so angry that he laughed.
"Did I assign too little work to you? How about I give you more tasks?!"
When everyone heard this, they ran away happily.
Soon, many people dispersed from the riverside.
Old Mrs. Ning was in poor health and could not carry Maodan'er, so the team leader asked his son to take the grandparents and grandchildren home.
Seeing this, Lin Zhao took a few quick steps and stopped beside Old Lady Ning.
"Auntie Ning, the water in the river is not clean. Maodan accidentally drank it. Should we take him to the hospital for a check-up?" she suggested with concern.
Mrs. Ning smiled and said, "Thank you, my dear daughter. You and I think alike."
She knew a lot and understood the severity of lung pollution, so she had planned to send her grandson to the hospital for a check-up.
"Big and second bastard are good kids. Today we are all thanks to them and Cheng Huai. If it weren't for them..." Old Mrs. Ning couldn't continue. When she thought of hearing people say that Maodan fell into the river and died, she felt like she was put into an airtight bag, suffocating and desperate.
Lin Zhao said nonchalantly, "It's only natural. Cheng Huai is a soldier, and it's his duty to protect the cubs. As for my two cubs, no matter who they see falls into the river, they will call for help. Auntie, don't worry about it."
The twins nodded rapidly.
That's right.
Old Mrs. Ning felt a little warm in her heart.
"You are all good."
The Ning family's grandparents and grandchildren left, and the people who stayed by the river gradually left, and the Gu family also walked towards the village.
"Mom, let's go back and eat chicken?" Erzai licked his lips. He felt hungry after watching the fun.
"Yes." Lin Zhao responded.
Just after I answered the second cub, I heard the eldest cub ask, "Mom, does Maodan need to go to the hospital for an injection?"
"You don't necessarily have to get an injection. It depends on the doctor's diagnosis," Lin Zhao said.
"Maodan is so pitiful." Dazai sighed, still a little angry, "Wang Yaozu only dares to bully Maodan because Maodan has no brother. He doesn't dare to bully me and my younger siblings because we have brothers."
Erzai crossed his arms and concluded, "He bullies the weak and fears the strong!"
Lin Zhao had nothing to say.
That's true.
Otherwise, every family would want to have more children so that the children would be more confident and never afraid of fighting. Families with fewer people would have to endure a lot.
