Chapter 168: Children quarrel, adults intervene

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Jindan came out of the house, "Grandma, I want to go down too."

His father hit him on the head today, and Xu Jindan still feels resentful about it. He kept crying in the house and was still angry until the evening.

He didn't eat properly, and finally Xu's mother had to persuade him to feed the dumplings to his eldest grandson.

After this experience, Xu Jindan also understood that the child in his mother's belly was a different existence to the father and the grandmother.

Before my little brother was born, his father beat me because of the child. If he was born, I would definitely be ignored.

Xu Jindan didn't say much. With red eyes, he insisted on going down to play. Xu's mother couldn't comfort him. As soon as she let go of him, the eldest grandson lay on the ground and started to scatter and roll around.

If Wu Fangyun saw her son like this, she would definitely remember that this was something her mother-in-law often did.

Whenever things didn't go her way, the mother-in-law would throw a tantrum, eventually forcing Wu Fangyun to do as she asked.

They say that like sons, sons give birth to sons, and like sons, sons of mice will dig holes. This is absolutely true.

If anyone takes care of this child for a long time, his movements and tone of voice when talking to his relatives will become the same.

Mother Xu had just been saying that the people downstairs were stupid, but when she saw her eldest grandson rolling around, she pretended that she had never said anything. She was unwilling to go downstairs and looked at her granddaughter in the living room.

"Xiaomei, follow your brother down there and watch out. Don't let others bully you."

Xiaomei didn't want to do that. The weather outside was so bad that it could freeze people into popsicles. She didn't want to do that.

"Grandma, I have to serve tea to my aunt later. Why don't you let Ni'er go down? They are siblings. There is such a big difference between Jindan and me. We can't play together."

When Xu's mother heard this, she also thought so. She pointed at Xu Ni'er who was squatting and mopping the floor, "Ni'er, go downstairs with your brother to play. Protect him and don't let anyone bully him."

Even Xiaomei had to admit that her grandmother was worrying too much. Jindan was just a little kid who ate more than his peers. How could anyone bully him?

It's good enough that he doesn't bully others.

Xu Nier is a quiet person. Xu's mother often complains that her granddaughter is dumb and doesn't like to talk. "Did you hear that? If you don't talk for days, people who don't know you would think you are dumb."

Seeing Xu Nier nod, Xu's mother became even angrier, "You didn't even say a word. If someone didn't know, they would think I was torturing you. Hurry up and get out of here."

Xu Jindan and Xu Nier went down together. Chu Sangning was distributing fairy wands just then. Xu Jindan excitedly squeezed to the front. He was wearing a lot of clothes and was a little fat. With a slight movement, he squeezed down the two children in front of him.

Jiang Xingyan subconsciously pulled the man back and said, "Let's go to another place."

Xu Jindan was a big trouble. Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan knew it. They nodded and said to the children following behind them, "Let's go to another place. This place is not fun."

Wherever Chu Sangning walked, the children behind him followed, and Xu Jindan also followed behind him. Chu Sangning knew that he could not escape, so he cast a look at Jiang Xingyan and said loudly: "Line up, I will send them one by one."

Xu Jindan relied on his weight to cut in line with several people, but as luck would have it, the fairy wand was gone when it came to him.

Chu Sangning spread his hands and said, "I have no more."

Xu Jindan looked incredulous, his eyes wide open, and he shouted in a shrill voice: "Give it to me, I want some too, I want to set off fireworks too."

What kind of fireworks? Chu Sangning still has two in his hand, but they are for himself and Jiang Xingyan. He can't give up his things just because of a crying child.

Xu Jindan kept crying, and Chu Sangning felt a headache. She reached out and tugged at Jiang Xingyan's clothes, and whispered, "Let's go home first."

Not only did they fail to set off the fireworks, but they also gave away more than a dozen fairy wands for nothing. Chu Sangning and Jiang Xingyan sneaked away while the other children were not paying attention.

Xu Nier watched everything clearly from the side. Seeing that her brother was still crying, she stepped forward to remind him, "Don't cry, Sister Chu has already cried you away."

He was used to being so arrogant. He felt unbalanced when he saw that he had no cigarettes and even wanted to snatch the ones from other people. The children in the family compound were not easy to mess with. Their fathers were soldiers and they all learned a few tricks from them.

Xu Jindan, a little fat boy who only gained flesh but not strength, naturally couldn't beat others.

He kept crying even though she couldn't beat him. When Xu's mother saw her eldest grandson crying loudly, she was so distressed that she didn't even bother to put on her coat. She hurried downstairs with her coat in her hand.

Originally it was a matter between the children, but the unreasonable adult Xu's mother intervened, snatched the firework stick from another child and handed it to her eldest grandson, "Golden Egg, don't cry, grandma found one for you, look."

Xu Jindan stopped crying, and another child shouted unhappily, "This is mine."

"What do you mean by yours and mine? My golden egg is smaller than yours, so you should give it more space."

When the child saw the ferocious face of Xu's mother, he was so frightened that he froze in place. Then he cried out and went home to complain.

Xu's mother was a wicked person, and the other child's mother was also fierce in temper. She quarreled directly with Xu's mother face to face, making it very embarrassing on New Year's Day.

Not only that, the other party's military rank was one level higher than Xu Dajun's. Seeing Xu's mother bullying her own child, the man was displeased and didn't even say a word of courtesy to Xu Dajun.

Xu Jindan did set off the fireworks, but was scolded when he got home. Xu Dajun was as embarrassed as a monkey's butt, "Mom, why did you, as an adult, get involved in the quarrel between children?"

"You are an adult after all. It's nothing for you to bully other people's children. Now, on New Year's Day, the whole building has seen our family make a fool of themselves. How can I face this shame in the future?"

"Do you really want to provoke the talents of the entire building to be happy? I have already told you that your son will be promoted soon. Now that you have caused such a commotion, I will not do anything about it. Let's all go home and farm."

Xu Dajun was so anxious that he jumped up and walked around the room in an angry tone. Even Xu Nier, who was standing aside without saying a word, was affected.

"As a sister, when you see your brother crying, can't you comfort him?"

"Okay, it's all okay. What's the point of spending this year?" After Xu Dajun vented his anger, he rushed out of the door, leaving Xu's mother and Xiaomei staring at each other.

Xu Nier shed tears of grievance but did not dare to cry out loud. Why should she be blamed for her brother's crying? Could Jindan have listened to her advice for once?

It's like this every time. Just because I'm the older sister, I have to take care of the golden egg and follow him?

Xu Nier digested the thought for a while, wiped her tears, and silently returned to her room. She closed the door gently, hid under the quilt and sobbed.

Mother Xu was still a little unconvinced and complained to her granddaughter, "Your uncle has a really bad temper. Our Jindan is sensible and obedient. Who else should I love if I don't love him?"
