Su Ruo stopped Guo Guo and hurried over to check on Lin Guitong's injury, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.
It was Han Zecheng who was sitting next to her.
His hands were like iron clamps, holding her wrists tightly and she had no strength to struggle free.
When Su Ruo was grabbed by him and looked back at him with a frown, the other man had already stood up and rushed over, suddenly dragged Lin Guitong up from the ground, and then slapped him in the face with a "slap". After that, he pushed him to the ground, then turned around and ran back, covering his face.
This scene is even more astonishing.
At this time, except for Han Hehuai and Han Zecheng, everyone else in the room had stood up.
Han Zecheng held Su Ruo's hand, but there was no expression on his face.
However, Han Hehuai's expression was very ugly.
When Guoguo hit Lin Guitong, he didn't show much reaction on his face, but when Han Qinqin slapped him, his face immediately turned black.
Wen Qiaoyi had also stood up and wanted to help Lin Guitong, but when she saw her daughter running away crying, she was stunned. For a moment, she didn't know whether to help her grandson or chase after her daughter.
While she was hesitating, Han Zehua had already pulled Lin Guitong up to look at the injury on his face... It wasn't serious, but it was just a bruise from his cheek to the bridge of his nose. But this bruise, plus the redness and swelling from her mother's slap, looked a bit scary.
Han Zehua said to the nanny behind him with a serious face: "Aunt Jiang, please go to the backyard and get some ice water for Tongtong."
Lin Guitong was still howling. He said in a deep voice, "Stop crying. You only know what's the use of crying."
His father was never warm to this child... Of course, he had never been warm to any child before, but now with the comparison of Han Guo, it was different... He was worried that his father would now dislike Lin Guitong even more, and would also dislike his sister Han Qinqin.
Han Zehua loves his sister very much and feels sorry for what happened to her, so he is very distressed by this fact.
Wen Qiaoyi first looked at her grandson's injuries. She saw her husband's livid face, and Han Guo, who had stepped aside with a slightly frown on his face, looking proud and wondering what he was thinking... Her heart was really knotted.
Han Guo's appearance is very similar to his father's back then.
But his father's eyes were even colder back then.
He is tanned, poorly dressed, and is just a country boy.
But Han Guo looked proud but not cold.
He looks very similar to Han Zecheng, but he also has the best qualities of his parents. Looking at him now, he gives people a sense of nobility at such a young age.
However, that look still reminded Wen Qiaoyi of Han Zecheng.
No matter how much the appearance changes, she feels that the core and essence remain the same.
No one expected that Han Zecheng's son, who had been kept in his hometown in the countryside, would grow up to be like this.
Compare it to my own grandson...
Wen Qiaoyi took a deep breath and went to see her grandson.
She knew that Han Hehuai didn't like crying children, especially since her grandson was already five years old.
She pulled her grandson, who was crying and wanted to roll on the ground, and said to her husband, "He Huai, I'll take this child to the back to apply some compresses and teach him a lesson."
After saying that, he whispered to Lin Guitong to go down with him.
But Lin Guitong refused to leave. He was beaten by Guoguo and then by his mother. He was mad. He was a little confused at first, but now Han Zehua and Wen Qiaoyi, who usually spoiled him, came to coax him. He immediately regained his composure, pushed Wen Qiaoyi away and wanted to rush over to beat Guoguo, but was dragged by Han Zehua.
Han Zehua said, "Mom, I'll take him down."
After saying this, he forcefully dragged Lin Guitong, who was punching and kicking, away.
The living room finally calmed down.
******
Wen Qiaoyi watched her son drag her grandson away.
In fact, she also wanted to go over to see her grandson and daughter, but when she looked in the living room, she saw that only Han Hehuai, Han Zecheng's family of three, their embarrassed-looking daughter-in-law, and their granddaughter of a few months were left there.
My daughter ran away crying.
This is New Year's Eve. If she goes down with them, it would seem as if her family has a grudge against Han Zecheng's family.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down with a lot on her mind.
At this time, Han Zecheng had already let go of Su Ruo.
But he also looked up and said to Han Hehuai: "Dad, I'll take Su Ruo and Guo Guo downstairs to rest for a while, and come back later. Is my room still there?"
Although he rarely lived in this house, there was still a room there.
However, the look and tone of his voice made it seem as if the farce just now had never happened.
Han Hehuai nodded and said, "Your room is still there, but you are with your wife and Guoguo now, so I asked Sister Cao to clean up a yard for you, and you can live there when you come back."
Then he said to Sister Cao, the nanny who was busy in the kitchen and had come over when she heard the noise, "Take them over there."
The Han family has two nannies. One is Aunt Cao, who has been helping with housework and cooking in the Han family all the time, also known as Sister Cao in Han Hehuai's mouth. The other is Aunt Jiang, who was hired a few months ago to take care of the newborn children Han Hui and Lin Guitong.
Han Zecheng agreed, and took Su Ruo and Guo Guo to the yard with Aunt Cao.
After a few people left, Han Hehuai looked at Wen Qiaoyi, whose eyes were red, and sighed, saying, "Go check on Qinqin and Tongtong."
When Wen Qiaoyi responded with a low "OK" and stood up to walk to the back, she heard her husband suddenly say, "Please persuade Qinqin to spend more time on her son. Although the child is average in talent, the reason he is like this now is because she didn't teach him. No matter what, he is her own biological son."
Wen Qiaoyi pursed her lips and said with red eyes: "I will persuade her well."
Han Hehuai was silent for a while, and just when Wen Qiaoyi thought he had finished speaking, he suddenly said, "Talk to her carefully. If she really can't tolerate this child, then let Lin Yumin come over. I will talk to him and see how to place this child."
In fact, he did not agree with his daughter's divorce.
Although Lin Yumin was a bit mediocre, he was pretty good to his daughter. It was not difficult to arrange a job for him in the city, but his daughter insisted that marriage was something she had to live her life on her own, and he couldn't force her.
Although he has a strong personality, he will respect his children if they insist on their decision.
Just like when his eldest son wanted to stay in Hanjia Village, he respected his choice.
Wen Qiaoyi was horrified when she heard this.
She was just afraid that this meant her husband hated his daughter and grandson.
She wanted to say something, but this was in the living room and her daughter-in-law was right next to her, so she swallowed her words and decided to have a good talk with her daughter first.
******
Let’s talk about Su Ruo, Han Zecheng and Guo Guo.
The Han family's house is an old-style courtyard house with many rooms.
Han Hehuai arranged for Han Zecheng and Su Ruo to stay in the east wing, which had three rooms in total. It was some distance away from the main courtyard and quite quiet.
There is a small hall in the middle and rooms on both sides. Although the furniture inside is simple, it is fully equipped. The sheets and quilt covers are obviously brand new and have just been changed.
Judging from the layout of the room, the rooms on both sides should be Han Zecheng and Su Ruo's bedrooms on one side, and Guoguo's room on the other side. There is also a small desk and bookshelf with some picture books on the bookshelf.
Aunt Cao took the three of them to take a quick look at the yard and the room, then said to Han Zecheng, "Zecheng, your old books and stuff are still in the original room. Aunt Cao didn't want to mess it up, so she didn't move them. When you want to help, just tell Aunt Cao and she'll move them to you."
Han Zecheng didn't spend much time living in the Han family.
But when he was in middle school, he went to the provincial capital to study. Although it was a boarding school, he would occasionally stay at the Han family for a few days.
Aunt Cao has worked in the Han family for decades and knew Han Zecheng before.
Han Zecheng thanked Aunt Cao and said, "Aunt Cao, just leave those things where they are. If the family needs to use the room, you can pack them up and leave them there."
He didn't have much stuff to begin with, mostly just old books and old clothes.
Aunt Cao smiled and said, "No need. There are many rooms at home. We don't need your room."
Then he added, "Then you guys take a rest first. Tell me if you need anything. There is tea and snacks outside. If you are hungry, you can eat something first. But don't eat too much, because dinner will be served soon."
"Okay, then Aunt Cao, you can go and get busy first."
"Oh, okay, I'll go to the kitchen first."
Su Ruo had already looked around the yard and several rooms following Aunt Cao's introduction.
To be honest, she was a little surprised by the arrangement of the yard and the room.
And from what Han Hehuai said, this yard was not for them to live in temporarily, but was arranged for them on a long-term basis.
It seems that Han Hehuai still values and cares about Han Zecheng very much.
Su Ruo originally planned to study architecture, and under the influence of Yuan Chengyang's mother, Aunt Shu, she knew a lot about ancient buildings.
But it is clear that the east wing of a courtyard house is usually for the eldest son to live in... Of course, this idea is now a remnant of feudalism.
She glanced at Han Zecheng and saw that he didn't react to any of this.
Alas, he rarely reacted to these external things.
However, she also understood why Han Zecheng didn't have any special emotions when talking about his father. It was very simple. They were not that close, but there was no ill will or resistance either. In fact, he was quite respectful.
However, at this time, Su Ruo just saw all this and didn't have time to think too much or discuss it with Han Zecheng.
Because there was still a son standing there who had just beaten and scolded someone.
After Aunt Cao left, Su Ruo turned serious, called Guo Guo over, and said, "Guo Guo, what happened to you in the living room just now?"
"Um?"
Guoguo blinked.
Su Ruo took a deep breath and thought to herself that this was a serious issue and she must not be soft-hearted towards this child.
She said, "Do you know what you did wrong just now?"
Guoguo glanced at his mother, then his head drooped a little, obviously looking a little guilty.
Su Ruo thought it was okay.
The kid knew he was wrong.
Then she heard Guoguo say in frustration: "Don't hit people in the face, scolding people is useless, and don't use vulgar language to scold people. You have to learn to find other people's mistakes so that they can't refute. Refuting is unreasonable... Mom, he just kicked my castle and scolded me. I was so angry that I forgot everything you forced me to memorize before."
Su Ruo:......? ? ?
Is that what she taught her before?
And forcing him to memorize it?
Didn't she teach him that he shouldn't fight, but to learn to control movement with calmness and convince others with reason?
Han Zecheng chuckled at Su Ruo's expression as if she had swallowed something difficult, but he immediately stopped laughing and said to Han Guo with a stern face, "You are right. Since you know you are wrong, go to the yard and stand at attention for 30 minutes. Remember to think before you act next time. Get out."
The reason why it is thirty minutes is because today is New Year’s Eve and the New Year’s Eve dinner will probably be served soon.
The yard was still covered with snow.
It was just standing at attention for half an hour, which was not a punishment at all for Han Guo.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at his mother with an annoyed and frustrated look.
Su Ruo frowned.
Before he left, she stopped him again, helped him straighten his clothes, looked at his hands, and said, "Do you know why you can't use vulgar language to curse people?"
Since I taught him before, I can't change my mind overnight. I can only look back at those words and think about how to teach him.
"Um?"
Han Guo wanted to say, "It makes me look even more stupid and unreasonable," but seeing that her mother obviously had something else to say, she swallowed the words.
Su Ruo said, "You called Lin Guitong a fool, saying he was stupid for not knowing armored vehicles and airplanes. But it's not his fault that he doesn't know armored vehicles and airplanes. It's just that he has never seen one, and no one has taught him... You can say he shouldn't have pushed your castle, and you can beat him because he scolded you, but you can't scold him with those words."
"You can't scold, attack, or look down on a person because of his background, intelligence, education, or even appearance. Because many of these are not something they can decide for themselves, and it's not their fault, understand?"
not understand.
Guoguo's brain turned into a mess.
But he soon thought of the slap Lin Guitong's mother gave him.
To be honest, he was surprised by the slap his mother gave him.
In the countryside, many parents are not nice to their children... It is impossible for them to be as nice to him as his parents, but they will also protect their children when they fight outside.
So at that moment he suddenly didn't hate Lin Guitong so much anymore.
I even felt a little sorry for him.
So he seemed to understand something again.
But it didn't matter whether he understood or not. His mother was still looking at him, so he nodded and said, "I'll remember it."
Anyway, he has a good memory, so he just needs to memorize it.
"Then get out."
Su Ruo said.
Su Ruo waited for him to leave before looking at Han Zecheng and asked, "Did I really teach him this before?"
But after she asked Han Zecheng, she remembered that Han Zecheng was basically not in Hanjia Village before. She asked him...
"Well, the situation in Hanjia Village is different,"
Han Zecheng answered her, "The children there are left alone, fighting every other day. Laibao is half a year older than him, and his grandmother is partial to him. If you don't stand firm with him, Guoguo will probably become a softie... You've been with them for two days, and you should know that there is absolutely no room for reasoning with them."
The children in the village are usually a bit wild.
In addition to the situation of the Han family, if Su Ruo was a little softer, and Guoguo was a little softer, all of Guoguo's things would probably be snatched away by Han Laibao with a clear conscience, and he would also have his grandmother's help behind him.
Also, what Han Zecheng didn't say is that Su Ruo herself should be acting a little differently than she is now because of what happened in the early days of her demotion.
Seeing that Su Ruo was still frowning slightly, he reached out and patted her, saying, "Don't worry too much, Ruoruo. He is a boy. As long as there is no problem with his character and he slowly learns to control his temper, there is nothing to worry about. I will take care of him."
"I'm worried about your dad..."
Su Ruo muttered, "It's just the New Year, and something like this happened."
"Don't worry about that,"
Han Zecheng said, "That Lin Guitong does need to be taught a lesson. Judging from the way they raised him, this incident shouldn't be a bad thing for him."
As for the possibility that they might have a rift or opinions towards Guoguo or their family... the rift existed, and he never cared about it.
******
When Su Ruo and Han Zecheng went to the east wing, Wen Qiaoyi also went to the back yard.
She first looked at her grandson and saw that the wound on his face was not serious, it just looked a little scary... After all, a child's strength is limited.
She didn't have the heart to coax him. She just gave Han Zehua a few instructions and asked him to take the child to eat later, then went to Han Qinqin's room to see her daughter.
Han Qinqin was lying on the bed crying.
Wen Qiaoyi felt upset when she heard this.
She stood at the door for a while, finally took a breath, walked over, sat down, patted him, and said slowly: "Qinqin, Tongtong is just a child. No matter what, he is your own child. Think about it, if your father and I treat you the same way you treat Tongtong, how would you feel?"
Han Qinqin was feeling humiliated and wronged.
The son she gave birth to was looked down upon by his father and by the son of Han Zecheng, the countryman whom she had looked down upon before. They called him a fool and a idiot.
They look down on him, but aren't they actually looking down on her?
Everyone is laughing at her, right?
When Han Qinqin heard her mother come in, she thought her mother would comfort her, but she never expected her to say such a thing directly.
Why does she make this analogy?
Why do you have to make this kind of analogy to poke your own heart?
She raised her head, looked at her mother and said, "Mom, if I marry a man like Dad, I will love him too."
It’s not that she doesn’t want to love him, but every time she sees him, she feels uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.
Wen Qiaoyi felt a pang in her heart.
She wanted to say how could you think that? This idea is wrong.
But when she looked at her daughter's face full of tears, she couldn't say a word.
Because she knew that it was useless to tell her daughter this now.
Wen Qiaoyi was speechless.
Han Qinqin wiped her tears and had something to say.
She said, "Mom, you see, Dad doesn't like Gui Tong, why must he stay at home? Keeping him at home will only make me suffer constant humiliation. Mom, please help me persuade Dad to send him away."
"Mom, Guitong is the son of the Lin family. If we keep him, he will only be entangled with the Lin family, constantly making people laugh at him and making everyone in the family upset. Also, mom, have you ever thought about how I will date and get married in the future if I keep him at home like this? Do you want me to live like this for the rest of my life?"
