Shen Chunyan had seen so many shameless people, but she had never seen such a shameless person. "Which eye of yours saw me push him?"
"Even if I didn't see it, it was you who pushed him, otherwise why was he lying on the ground?"
Shen Chunyan looked up and down at the woman in front of her. Her appearance was not stunning, but very ordinary. However, because she was a soldier, there was a hint of heroism between her eyebrows.
But even if she is a soldier, she can't speak nonsense!
"Xiaochen, right? Tell this auntie how you ended up lying on the ground."
"I, I."
"Don't lie. If you dare to lie, your father will not forgive you. A man should take responsibility for his own actions. Tell me."
Xiaochen looked at Shen Chunyan's serious and solemn expression. If she really told her father, her father would definitely beat him.
Just when Xiaochen was about to speak, the officer's wife shouted directly to the door, "Hurry up, Xiaochen's stepmother beat the child. She beat the child while Officer Li is not at home."
Shen Chunyan didn't expect that this woman was so vicious that she even dared to complain at the door.
Because this is a military family compound, the people at home are usually military wives. If something happens in any family, there will basically be someone to help. When they hear someone beating a child, they all run over.
"What's going on?"
"Exactly. Officer Li got married yesterday, and he's beating his child today?"
"It's really hard to be a stepmother. This child is also difficult to educate."
When the officer saw everyone coming, she pointed at Xiaochen lying on the ground and said, "Look, I was just buying roasted sweet potatoes in the back, and as soon as I entered the house, I saw Xiaochen lying on the ground. This woman is too vicious, we can't let her stay here any longer!"
Because Wang Qing often came to the family compound and often helped Li Mobai take care of Xiaochen, everyone had a preconceived notion that what Wang Qing said was right.
“Chen Chunyan, you look quite honest, but you dare to abuse a child.”
"That's right, if you don't want to be a stepmother, don't agree to get married!"
The other military wives were all blaming Shen Chunyan, one after another.
Shen Chunyan looked at the way these women dressed and looked, and she really couldn't agree with it!
Although clothing styles in mainland China were still very backward in the 1980s, people could at least dress appropriately and elegantly.
Some people are short, but they insist on wearing knee-length skirts. Some people have dark skin, but they wear pink shirts. And all of them are natural, without any makeup at all!
She remembered that the Hong Kong style had already reached the mainland, but why were these people still dressed like this?
By the way, it seems that it was right for me to open a beauty salon in the 1980s. It was the time when everyone was changing, and I was sure to make money.
Wang Qing was even more proud when she saw that everyone was on her side. "Xiaochen, don't be afraid. Aunt Wang is here, and the other aunts are here too. Don't be afraid."
Xiaochen looked at Shen Chunyan secretly. He was a little scared and guilty, so he quickly got up from the ground.
"Chen Chunyan, you must give an explanation today. Why did you hit the child?"
"Wang Qing, right? Which eye saw me hitting the child? And who of you saw it?"
"this?"
The military wife behind was also a little hesitant. After all, no one saw it and only heard what Wang Qing said.
"Xiaochen, although I'm your stepmother, I'm married to your father, so I have to fulfill my obligation to take care of you. You're so young, yet you dare to lie? Why don't you tell the truth? Your father is an officer, do you want to hold him back?"
Wang Qing watched as Shen Chunyan yelled at Xiaochen. She was furious. "Why are you scaring a child? He's only five years old. You're intimidating him."
"Xiaochen, you're five years old now. You're in kindergarten, right? Has your teacher ever taught you not to lie, huh?"
Xiaochen looked at Shen Chunyan. Although he didn't like her, she was right.
"I was lying on the ground by myself. It has nothing to do with her."
"Xiaochen, don't be scared by her, tell the truth!"
Xiaochen clutched his schoolbag with both hands, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead due to nervousness. He looked at the people standing around him fearfully, "Yes, I lied."
"What? Xiaochen, how can you lie like a kid?"
"That's right, your dad will definitely beat you when he comes back, humph."
Wang Qing didn't expect Xiaochen to say that, but she still foolishly thought that she was scared by Shen Chunyan.
"Xiaochen, don't be afraid. When Dad comes back, he will definitely get justice for you."
Shen Chunyan walked up to Xiaochen and touched his head. "It's a great virtue to admit your mistakes and correct them. You will be a good boy in the future."
Because the matter was made clear, everyone had wronged Shen Chunyan, so they felt a little embarrassed.
"Chunyan, we misunderstood you."
"Yeah, we didn't see it clearly either, haha."
Shen Chunyan did not blame these military wives. After all, they had known Wang Qing for a long time, so they had some preconceived notions about her. However, this Wang Qing was not a good person.
How can you educate your children like this?
"Comrade Wang Qing, please don't come to my house again. I'll take care of Xiaochen. Get lost."
After Shen Chunyan finished speaking, she closed the door and locked Wang Qing outside.
"You, open the door, you vicious woman, don't bully Xiaochen."
Shen Chunyan sighed. She had just entered the book and encountered such a situation. Fortunately, she was experienced and was not controlled by this woman.
"You, if you want to hit me, just hit my butt, not my face."
Xiaochen hid in fear, leaning against a chair, not daring to do anything else. His little face was twisted and he was about to cry.
"Who said I was going to hit you? There are good stepmothers too. Did anyone tell you that stepmothers only hit people?"
Xiaochen nodded aggrievedly.
Children without mothers are so pitiful. "From now on, I will be your mother. No one can bully you. Even if your father wants to beat you, he has to go through me. Okay, boys, don't cry."
Xiaochen didn't expect that his stepmother not only didn't beat him, but also smiled at him gently. It turned out that what Aunt Wang said was not entirely right.
Since she had promised Li Mobai to take care of Xiaochen, she spent the whole day with the child. They went to the cafeteria to get food together and did housework together.
So this is what it feels like to take care of a child! Is it a happy feeling?
As night falls, it is time to rest. Xiaochen is very independent. He brushes his teeth and washes his face by himself, and then goes to another room to sleep. Such a child is really likable.
After a busy day, Shen Chunyan was extremely tired. She had never done so much work before. It was more than she had done in the first half of her life.
Especially with this body, which is so fat, I sweat all over if I move a little.
She really wanted to take a hot bath, but her home didn't have the conditions, so she could only use a big red basin to get some warm water and wipe her body.
After taking off her clothes and looking at the traces of their ambiguity left on her body last night, Shen Chunyan blushed in embarrassment.
