"If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me and the adults, okay?"
He Zhaodi hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, I'll be watching over them in the room."
Jiang Xiaoqiao nodded, that was fine.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
He Zhaodi said, "I just did what I should do. My sister-in-law is too polite."
Gu Pingyang and Gu Pingguang are her children. As a mother, she cares very much about the safety and health of her children.
Gu Lei is also their child, and He Zhaodi will not favor one over the other.
When the three children were about to go back to their room with He Zhaodi, Gu Weiguo came over with a couple and a crying child.
When they saw the child, Gu Lei and the other two showed angry expressions on their faces.
"Erzhuzi, you still dare to come!" Gu Lei shouted.
Gu Pingyang hurriedly told the adults, "Mom, Fourth Aunt, it was him, Er Zhuzi, who pushed Gu Zhen into the river!"
Hearing Gu Pingyang's words, He Zhaodi and Jiang Xiaoqiao's expressions changed and they looked at the person who came.
Gu Jinhua, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the noise and rushed out angrily.
"Who?! Who killed my grandson?!"
When Erzhu's parents saw Gu Jinhua, Jiang Xiaoqiao and the others, Erzhu's mother lowered her head, looking embarrassed.
Erzhu's father's face was filled with shock, fear and shame. After hearing what Gu Lei and the other children and Gu Jinhua said, he could no longer hold back. He swung his hand and slapped Erzhu on the butt again.
There was a loud and crisp "pop" sound.
Erzhuzi's cries became louder, but his father didn't stop and hit him four or five times in a row.
Erzhu's mother, who was standing next to him, had heartache in her eyes. She wanted to persuade him but didn't dare to. She could only wipe away her tears with her hands in pain.
"Cry, cry, cry! What do you have to cry about? You've done something so wrong, and you still dare to cry!"
Erzhu's father beat and scolded them. Gu Jinhua and He Zhaodi were originally very angry when they heard Erzhu pushed Gu Zhen into the river, but when they saw Erzhu's father beating Erzhu to death, they felt a little bit of pity in their hearts.
Jiang Xiaoqiao watched from the side and roughly knew what Erzhuzi's father was thinking.
Erzhuzi made a big mistake this time. Erzhuzi's parents feel sorry for the child, but they also have to express their attitude.
Otherwise, we will really become enemies with the Gu family in the future.
To be honest, Erzhuzi's parents were reasonable people, but they couldn't stand having a unreasonable mother-in-law at home, who had corrupted Erzhuzi.
Gu Jinhua and He Zhaodi felt sorry for him but didn't say anything.
They are grandmothers and aunts. In the family, apart from Gu Zhen, the person who is most qualified to say whether to forgive or not is Jiang Xiaoqiao.
Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at Erzhuzi's father's behavior coldly, while Gu Weiguo was also watching with his hands behind his back.
In the end, Erzhuzi's father beat Erzhuzi's butt until blood oozed out, and his hands were trembling as he raised them in the air, unable to put them down again.
Erzhuzi's mother finally couldn't help it, so she rushed over and hugged Erzhuzi.
Erzhuzi cried and wailed, "I was wrong, Dad, I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time..."
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "Brother, sister-in-law, it's not that I'm cruel, but if our child had been a step later today, he would have really died."
"He had a weak constitution to begin with, and I've been working so hard to raise him up like a normal child, able to run and jump. Our whole family has put in a lot of effort and money, and now that he's fallen into the water, we have to continue to nurture his newly healed constitution..."
Erzhuzi's father wiped his face and said, "I know, I know. It's our child who is wrong. Xiangbei's wife, we will pay the money and accept the punishment, as long as you bring it up."
Jiang Xiaoqiao pursed her lips, not yet figuring out a compensation plan.
If it were her old self, she would have thought that the two families would never have any contact with each other again, and that Erzhuzi would have to suffer the same hardships that Gu Zhen had endured.
But now, Jiang Xiaoqiao knows that interpersonal relationships are particularly important in this village.
If he went too far, he would soon go from being a victim in the eyes of his teammates to an insatiable blackmailer, from a pitiful person to a perpetrator of violence.
Jiang Xiaoqiao cast her eyes on the elders present. Gu Weiguo said, "Well, Erzhuzi's family will pay thirty yuan and ten kilograms of grain as compensation."
These thirty yuan and ten kilograms of grain were a lot of money. At the end of the year, even if the whole family worked in the fields for most of the year, they would not be able to save enough money.
Jiang Xiaoqiao looked at He Zhaodi and Gu Jinhua. Gu Jinhua nodded. This compensation was very good. If it was more, Erzhuzi's family might not be able to afford it.
Seeing Gu Jinhua nod, Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "I have no problem."
After getting the money, she went to the county town to buy more fine grains and milk powder for her family to nourish the children and the elderly.
Erzhuzi's father also nodded and said, "Okay, we'll go back and get the money."
Erzhuzi's mother hugged Erzhuzi and cried until she couldn't cry anymore. Thirty yuan, this was most of their family's wealth.
After agreeing on the compensation, Erzhuzi's father turned around and left with a light step, and Erzhuzi's mother stumbled away holding Erzhuzi in her arms.
Gu Weiguo followed Jiang Xiaoqiao and the others into the room to check on Gu Zhen's condition.
Gu Zhen was lying on the bed shaking. Jiang Xiaoqiao took his pulse. The child's physical foundation had just been adjusted and had not yet stabilized when this happened.
You're going to suffer these few days, you're bound to have a fever.
Gu Weimin, Gu Weiguo and Gu Jinhua were looking after the room. Jiang Xiaoqiao left the room and went to the kitchen to make some cold-relieving soup and calming medicine.
All of these were prepared for the children, and each of them was given a full bowl!
While the Gu family's children were drinking the cold-relieving soup and calming medicine, a quarrel broke out in Erzhuzi's family.
As soon as they got back, Erzhuzi's grandmother started making a fuss when she saw Erzhuzi being beaten like that. In the end, it was heard that her family had to pay the Gu family thirty yuan and ten kilograms of grain as compensation.
Erzhuzi's father stared coldly at his mother, who was making a scene in the yard, and said, "Mom, are you really going to break up this family before you're willing to do this?"
Erzhuzi's father's name is Sanmu. He has two older brothers, Damu and Ermu, but both his brothers and his father have passed away.
Sanmu's father was a hunter. One winter, his mother insisted on eating meat, saying that the food at home was tasteless, and forced Sanmu's father to go up the mountain to hunt.
That time, Sanmu's father went into the mountains and eventually died in an attack by wolves.
I have two older brothers. One died from overwork while earning work points, and the other died while going to the county town to buy peach cakes for his family.
It can be said that all of this was caused by Miki-san.
Miki's mother looked at Miki's expression and shouted, "What are you looking at me like that for?"
"Ah, I'm your biological mother! If I had known this would happen, I would have strangled you to death the moment you were born..."
"Pinch it!"
Erzhuzi's father shouted: "Have you had enough of making trouble?"
