Ye Li looked at Zhang Hui's pretentious appearance and said nothing, and went straight into the house carrying the basin of water.
When Zhang Hui saw Ye Li walking away, she looked at Xiao Hukai's back with a happy smile.
"Hmph, you little bastard! I've disliked you for a long time. You'll have to endure this at home from now on!"
Xiaohu used to be a bully at home, so he would bully Zhou Zhou sometimes. Although Zhang Hui did not get angry at that time, she remembered all these things in her heart. She took the opportunity to take revenge on Xiaohu when Aunt Liu was not around.
"Mom, it would be great if the naughty Xiaohu never came home. That way no one would bully me anymore!" Zhou Zhou sincerely hoped that Xiaohu would disappear from this house forever.
"Don't be anxious. You have to eat one bite at a time and do things slowly. If I can make him run away today, I can make sure he never comes back!" Zhang Hui is very capable in dealing with Xiaohu.
"Mom, Grandma Liu will be back soon. What should we say if she doesn't see Xiaohu?" Zhou Zhou was afraid that Aunt Liu would hold them accountable.
"What are you afraid of? I'll tell you. Let's go back to the house and eat some melon seeds." Zhang Hui took Zhou Zhou back to the house.
Xiaohu ran away and squatted at the entrance of the alley and started crying. He didn't know where to go, so he planned to wait for his grandmother at the entrance of the alley.
...
...
Aunt Liu was walking home after buying vegetables when she heard Xiaohu crying.
"Hey, Xiaohu, why are you here crying? Who bullied you?" Aunt Liu quickly put down the basket and hugged Xiaohu in her arms.
"It was Zhang Hui! He pinched me! Grandma, she bullied me when you were not around!" Xiaohu's aggrieved little mouth curled into a downward arc.
"Ah! This is outrageous! Where did Zhang Hui pinch you? Let me see!" Aunt Liu said as she started to pull Xiaohu's clothes in the street.
"The thigh root!" Xiaohu was not young anymore after all. He had gone to primary school and had self-esteem. He felt embarrassed to have his pants pulled down in the street by his grandmother, so he held down his grandmother's hand to prevent her from looking.
"Let's go! Go home! Let's settle the score with her!"
Aunt Liu dragged Xiaohu back to the courtyard in a rage.
As soon as she entered the house, Aunt Liu threw the food on the table and started cursing.
"Zhang Hui! You are such a cruel person! Come out here!"
Zhang Hui and Zhou Zhou were eating melon seeds when they were suddenly frightened by Aunt Liu's scolding.
"It's over, Mom. Will Grandma Liu chase us away?" Zhou Zhou looked very worried. She had never seen Grandma Liu get so angry at them.
"No. Just stay in the room, I'll go out and take a look." Zhang Hui patted the melon seed crumbs on her hands, slowly walked down from the ** to the middle room.
"Mom, why are you so angry? Oh, what happened to Xiaohu? Why is he crying so sadly?" Zhang Hui asked with an innocent face.
"Don't pretend! Tell me! Did you pinch him just now?" Aunt Liu asked directly.
"No! Mom. Why would I pinch Xiaohu? I love him so much!" Zhang Hui immediately looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, and even her eyes turned red.
"You pinched me! I'll take off my pants and show it to grandma now!" Xiaohu pulled Aunt Liu into the house and took off his pants to show Aunt Liu his injuries.
But Aunt Liu looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure out where the injury was. There was just a little redness at the base of the leg, but it didn't look like it was caused by pinching.
"Mom! I'm so wronged! You should know what it feels like to be pinched. It's impossible to be like this now!" Zhang Hui also followed into the house and saw that there was indeed no mark on Xiaohu's thigh. She became more confident in her pinching skills.
Zhang Hui had pinched Zhou Zhou before and found that the flesh at the root of a child's thigh was very tender, and a little force would cause it to be particularly painful. And as long as the force was controlled appropriately and only a little bit of flesh was pinched, it would not leave obvious marks.
"Xiao Hu, you can't lie to grandma!" Aunt Liu took another careful look and found that there were indeed no signs of being pinched. If one pinched a piece of meat and squeezed it hard, it would definitely turn blue.
Obviously the tiger cub doesn't have it on his legs.
"Grandma, I'm not lying to you! She was the one who pinched me! She also didn't let me eat melon seeds!" Xiaohu was a child after all, and he couldn't grasp the key points of the matter. He just blurted out what he wanted to say.
"You don't let Xiaohu eat melon seeds? You are a bit biased as a mother! Why can Zhou Zhou eat melon seeds, but my Xiaohu can't?" Seeing that there was no evidence of the strangulation, Aunt Liu started to make a fuss about the eating of melon seeds.
"Mom, you are even more wronging me! I asked Xiaohu to wash his hands before eating melon seeds. I was thinking about his health. But Xiaohu wouldn't listen. I just asked him to wash his hands, but he thought I was targeting him, so he ran away crying. Mom, think about it, did I ask Zhou Zhou to wash her hands before every meal? I treat Xiaohu equally and as my own son, so I ask him to do this." Zhang Hui shed tears as she spoke, and she looked as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Mom, what's wrong? Zhang Hui, why are you crying?" As soon as Zhou Xuan entered the room, he saw Zhang Hui crying with tears in her eyes, and his heart ached instantly.
"Xuan~I feel wronged...I just want Xiaohu to develop good hygiene habits. But he went to his mother to complain about me, saying that I didn't let him eat melon seeds and that I pinched him." Zhang Hui suddenly threw herself into Zhou Xuan's arms, her body shaking with tears.
"Xiao Hu! What's going on! Your mother asked you to wash your hands for your own good. Not only did you not study well, you also went to your grandma to complain! As a punishment, you are not allowed to eat tonight!" Zhou Xuan yelled at Xiao Hu angrily.
"What are you doing? Xiaohu is a child. Even if he made a mistake, you shouldn't punish him like this! Xiaohu just hasn't adapted to the way he gets along with Zhang Hui and the others. He will be fine in the future. Zhang Hui, I was too impulsive just now. If I wrongly accused you, don't take it to heart." Aunt Liu saw Zhang Hui's aggrieved look and began to suspect that Xiaohu was lying. After all, Xiaohu often lies.
"Grandma! Dad! Why don't you believe me! She is a vicious stepmother! She pinches me behind my back and doesn't let me eat delicious food!" Xiaohu listened to what his grandma and father said and felt that they both thought he was lying.
"What are you talking about! Do you have any manners at all? She is your mother, how can you scold her like that? I think it's your grandma who spoiled you! You are so disrespectful all day long! Get out and reflect on yourself!" Zhou Xuan's face turned dark when he heard Xiaohu scolding Zhang Hui as a vicious stepmother.
Since Zhang Hui married him, she discussed with him every day after get off work how to make Xiaohu accept her and be a qualified and good mother. So how could she be bad to Xiaohu? Xiaohu often contradicted Zhang Hui in front of him, which made Zhang Hui very embarrassed. But Zhang Hui always laughed it off, so Zhou Xuan didn't believe Xiaohu's words at all.
