Chapter 15 Left and right neighbor control group 15
Zhang Xiaojia picked up the iron rod and was about to go to Zhang Yisi's house, but Chen Baozhu tried her best to hold her back.
Hehua and Anan held her legs, and Xiaoyang climbed out of the wooden basin pitifully to stop her.
He Hua: "Auntie, you said you can't hit people."
An An: "Auntie, if we really want to beat someone up, we can do it after dark with masks on."
Pingping picked up the stick and said, "Auntie, where are you going to beat up the bad guys? I want to go with you."
Zhang Xiaoyang also quickly climbed out of the tub and stood in front of Zhang Xiaojia: "Sister, don't be angry, I'm not hurt."
Just now, I was impulsive and wanted to hit someone, but after being stopped, I calmed down and said, "No, I'm calm now."
Chen Baozhu asked seriously, "You're not being impulsive anymore, are you?"
Zhang Xiaojia shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen again."
After Zhang Xiaojia held Zhang Xiaoyang in her arms, she took out Ping'an'an's clothes and put them on him, then told the four little kids to take a nap.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at Chen Baozhu and said, "Aren't you going to work?"
Chen Baozhu looked at her angrily and said, "I don't dare to go. I'm afraid you'll be in a bad mood. What if you get impulsive and kill someone?"
Zhang Xiaojia smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've calmed down."
Chen Baozhu asked, "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Xiaojia said coldly, "I want to take custody of Zhang Xiaoyang. I haven't thought of anything else yet."
"I've checked and found out your aunt's husband is from Liangzhou City. They need to be demobilized! Living together, with a child so young, it's impossible for a mother to not know if the child is injured. Such a person isn't worthy of being a mother." Chen Baozhu's words were filled with unquestionable determination.
Zhang Xiaojia frowned when she heard this, and she retorted, "Why don't you think it was my uncle who hit someone?" There was a hint of doubt in her tone.
Chen Baozhu sighed softly, and her eyes softened a little. "Jia Jia, I'm not trying to excuse your uncle, but have you ever thought about how busy a battalion commander's job is?" There was some understanding and sympathy in her words.
"A battalion commander has to train early five days a week and arrive at the unit at 6:30 a.m., which means he has to leave home at 6:15 a.m. or even earlier. And in the evening? He doesn't get home until 6:45 a.m., and that doesn't include possible overtime and meetings."
"Think about it, Xiaoyang is not Bai Jianjun's child. How could he care about him so much? How much time can he spend on the child all day long?" There was a hint of helplessness and emotion in her words.
"Besides, after he comes back, he still has to write reports and spend time with his wife, so there really isn't much time left," Chen Baozhu continued.
Her words were full of sympathy and understanding for Bai Jianjun's work and life.
The soldiers' daily training is very hard, but as long as there is no trouble, it is not a big deal.
Who can be blamed for this? I can only blame Zhang Yisi's mother. There is no excuse. I can only blame Zhang Yisi's sister-in-law and mother-in-law.
After He Fei came back, Song Kun picked up the children, and Chen Baozhu spent ten minutes telling them what had happened.
Song Kun's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He walked quickly into the room, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
He walked straight towards Zhang Xiaoyang, his eyes full of heartache and anger. Without any warning, he quickly took off Zhang Xiaoyang's clothes, revealing those shocking scars.
Those scars, deep or shallow, old or new, were like silent accusations, telling of the pain and torture that Zhang Xiaoyang had experienced. Song Kun's heart seemed to be tightly gripped by something, and the pain made him almost suffocate.
When his soldiers were injured while on duty, it was for the benefit of the country and the people and was a symbol of glory.
But the injuries on Zhang Xiaoyang's body were caused by abuse within his family. How could he not feel angry and heartbroken?
At this moment, Bai Jianguo and Zhang Yisi walked into the room together. They were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
Bai Jianguo's eyes flashed with surprise, while Zhang Yisi tried to remain calm, but her voice still trembled slightly: "These injuries... were caused by my ex-husband. It has nothing to do with my sister-in-law and mother-in-law."
Zhang Xiaojia could no longer maintain her composure. She grabbed Zhang Yisi's neck, her eyes filled with rage. "Are you even talking like a human being? Xiaoyang's injuries, the oldest one is less than three years old, and there are new ones! Who am I? I've been following my great-grandfather to the morgue to examine corpses since I was three years old, and he taught me how to dissect corpses. When did these scars get there? Can't I see them?"
Seeing this, Song Kun quickly pulled Zhang Xiaojia aside. His voice was calm and firm: "Zhang Xiaojia, stay aside. If you dare to make a move again, I will put you in solitary confinement." His eyes revealed an unquestionable seriousness.
Song Kun suddenly turned his head and stared at Bai Jianjun with a sharp gaze. His eyes were so sharp that they were like two swords piercing the other's heart, making people feel cold.
He declared firmly, "Bai Jianjun, this matter isn't difficult to investigate. I'll immediately dispatch a security team to the area where you live for a thorough investigation, and the truth will soon be revealed. There's no need for excuses or justifications in this matter; it's clearly your fault! As soldiers, we have an unshirkable responsibility to defend our home and country! The 'home' I'm talking about isn't just the nation, but also each individual family. And now, your stepson is being abused by your sister and mother, and you, a soldier, don't even know about it every day when you go home? You were born a scout, and concealing this is truly egregious and outrageous! I give you three days to submit a detailed report, explaining the entire process and the solution. During these three days, have Zhang Xiaoyang temporarily stay at Captain He's house. After that, I'll send someone to assess the situation. If the results are unsatisfactory, don't blame me for being rude. I'll directly contact the Women and Children Protection Department to handle this matter!"
Zhang Xiaojia said directly: "Aunt, let Xiaoyang live with me! His last name is Zhang."
Zhang Yisi immediately refused with a dark face, saying, "No need, I can take good care of him."
Zhang Xiaojia sneered, "You take good care of your son, but he's covered in scars."
Zhang Xiaojia said bluntly: "I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm ordering you. Your last name is Zhang, and Xiaoyang's last name is Zhang too. To be frank, I want Zhang Xiaoyang to return to the Zhang family, and you have no right to refuse."
Zhang Xiaojia continued, "My father never mentioned you, but I absolutely believe that before he died, he would have given you his share of the inheritance. Since you gave Xiaoyang the surname Zhang, you have no right to bargain with me. Now I am the head of the Zhang family.
