Chapter 199 Being young doesn't mean being innocent
Zhong Hongqing glared fiercely at Zhong Yuanyuan, then looked at Song Yanshen: "And this uncle! Because of this uncle, Grandma dislikes me even more..."
How could a child who is only three years old hide his or her emotions?
Once his emotions got the better of him, he completely exploded.
"Because Grandma likes them now, she doesn't want me anymore!"
"My grandma used to love me the most!"
He glared at Song Yanshen, his tone full of malice: "He's clearly a little beggar! And a mute at that! Grandma, please don't like him!"
Upon hearing his son's words, Zhong Chengfa's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately tried to pull Zhong Hongqing away.
However, Zhong Hongqing then added, "And Zhong Yuanyuan, she's a money-loser! Nobody likes her! I'm your precious grandson, Grandma!"
Zhong Chengfa's outstretched hand froze halfway through the journey.
It's over.
That was the only thought in his mind for a moment.
At this moment, Zhong Chengyi couldn't help but look at his older brother with sympathy.
Zhong Hongqing only saw how good Zhang Chunxue was to Zhong Yuanyuan, but the three Zhong brothers knew how much Zhang Chunxue cherished Zhong Yuanyuan!
In an era when even adults can't eat white rice and white flour every meal, what does Zhong Yuanyuan eat?
Before they separated, Zhong Yuanyuan was only six months old. Zhang Chunxue said she wanted to add some complementary food, so she fed Zhong Yuanyuan rice flour every day!
Zhong Yuanyuan is now eight months old. Last time Zhong Hongqing came to Zhang Chunxue's house in the rain, he told Zhong Chengfa after he got back that Zhong Yuanyuan was eating a porridge made from noodles made from broken white flour, with beaten eggs in it!
It smells amazing!
This was just one meal that Zhong Hongqing saw; Zhong Chengfa didn't even dare to think about what good food Zhong Yuanyuan usually ate.
But what is his son saying now? He's saying Zhong Yuanyuan is a money-losing burden!
As expected, Zhang Chunxue's sword sank to the bottom of the pot in an instant.
"Zhong Chengfa! Is this how you raise your child?" Zhang Chunxue didn't confront Zhong Hongqing, but instead looked directly at Zhong Chengfa. "You've raised your child to be like this?"
"They say his uncle is a beggar, and his sister is a money-loser?"
"Um?"
"Zhong Chengfa!"
Zhong Cheng shuddered and instinctively stood at attention: "Mom, Mom! I, I didn't!"
“These, these must all have been said by Li Hongjuan, Hongqing heard them…”
"Mom, you know how fast kids learn to imitate what they hear..."
Zhang Chunxue's face was full of sarcasm: "Really? Li Hongjuan is talking to herself at home all the time?"
Zhong Chengfa was almost in tears!
He really didn't say any of these things to Zhong Hongqing!
He was certain that these were words Li Hongjuan said at home when she was scolding Zhang Chunxue, and Zhong Hongqing overheard them!
"Forget it, I don't want to argue with you about this anymore!" Zhang Chunxue's voice was sharp as a biting winter wind. "Now! Get out of here right now!"
Zhong Chengfa pouted, quickly picked up his son, and without daring to linger for even a moment, turned and left.
Zhang Chunxue, still seething with anger, looked at Zhong Chengyi and said, "What are you still standing here for!"
Zhong Chengyi felt he was being blamed, so he could only rub his nose and decide to leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chunxue called out to him again: "Wait a minute!"
Zhong Chengyi was overjoyed and quickly turned around, bowing and scraping as he looked at Zhang Chunxue: "Mom, is there anything else you need?"
Zhang Chunxue paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "You still remember when Zhong Hongqing came to my house last time, right?"
"Of course I remember!" Zhong Chengyi was a little puzzled as to why Zhang Chunxue suddenly brought up this matter. "Didn't it happen just a couple of days ago?"
"Mom, my memory isn't that bad, is it?"
Zhang Chunxue's lips curled up again: "Then why don't you think about it, he and Li Hongjuan got separated at the supply and marketing cooperative..."
"A child got separated from his mother and waited for her to come looking for him at the supply and marketing cooperative where he wouldn't get wet in the rain, or he could ask someone else to help him find his mother..."
"Why do you think he would go out of his way to come to my house, especially from the supply and marketing cooperative, and then brave the heavy rain?"
Zhong Chengyi was stunned.
He had never really thought about this question before.
After all, when Zhong Hongqing went missing, Zhong Chengfa vented his anger on Li Hongjuan. Zhong Chengyi also felt that Li Hongjuan had not taken good care of Zhong Hongqing, which was why Zhong Hongqing had to go to Zhang Chunxue because he couldn't find his mother.
But now that I think about it, it really doesn't make sense.
According to Li Hongjuan, she got into an argument with someone at the supply and marketing cooperative, and when she looked down after the argument, her child was gone.
So theoretically, the two separated at the supply and marketing cooperative...
Why did Zhong Hongqing leave the supply and marketing cooperative?
Didn't he know that once he left the supply and marketing cooperative, he would get soaked in the rain?
Moreover, after he and the engineering team found Li Hongjuan, they went door-to-door outside the supply and marketing cooperative to inquire about Zhong Hongqing's whereabouts. They learned that he had come out alone, not taken away by someone, or lured away by someone else with others.
Therefore, he had planned to leave the supply and marketing cooperative from the very beginning.
His target was Zhang Chunxue's house!
After figuring this out, Zhong Chengyi felt a chill run down his spine and a cold sweat run down his back.
Is this really just a three-year-old child?
He licked his dry lips, his voice a little hoarse: "Mom, could it be that Hongqing missed you, so he took the opportunity of coming to town to see you?"
"Is this his first time in town?" Zhang Chunxue sneered. "Why did the devil choose to come on this rainy day when he doesn't come at other times?"
Zhong Chengyi swallowed hard.
"Why...why?"
"Of course it's because... it's raining so hard, I can't take him back to the village! That way he can stay at my house legitimately!" Zhang Chunxue added, "Besides, he came all this way in the pouring rain, I can't just not let him in, right?"
"He was convinced that only in this way would I keep him, which is why he left Li Hongjuan during the heavy rain and specifically came here!"
Zhong Chengyi was truly speechless.
What was he supposed to say? The three of them were completely fooled by a three-year-old child?
After Zhang Chunxue finished speaking, she pointed to the door and said, "You can leave now."
"Oh..." Zhong Chengyi responded hesitantly, dragging his somewhat heavy steps as he walked out.
As he stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Zhong Chengfa holding Zhong Hongqing, still waiting for him.
Zhong Chengyi couldn't help but look at Zhong Hongqing.
Zhong Hongqing's eyes were still brimming with tears, and he looked over pitifully.
Zhong Chengyi felt a chill run down his spine again!
