Pei Tiantian was also speechless.
Wan Cuilan curled her lips unwillingly.
After bringing Pei Tianyu back to her room, Wan Cuilan went forward to check her son's injuries. She turned his jaw and looked carefully at the red and swollen half of his face.
"Mom, be gentle..."
Pei Tianyu's chin was pinched uncomfortably, and he whispered.
"Does your face still hurt?" Wan Cuilan asked, loosening her grip.
The right half of Pei Tianyu's face was red and swollen, with marks of bruises, forming a sharp contrast with the other half of his face.
"Mom, I don't feel any pain anymore. I feel much better after applying the medicine." Pei Tianyu shook his head.
Because the skin on his face is relatively delicate, the injuries on his face only look scary but are not that serious.
"I tell you, every failure makes you wiser. Don't associate with those low-class people with low character in the future. Do you hear me?" Wan Cuilan said.
"Second Aunt, Tianyu and I have broken off our friendship with Zheng Dahu, so you can rest assured."
Pei Zihao stood at the door of the house at some point and said with a smile.
Wan Cuilan glanced at him and found that Pei Zihao only had a small scar at the corner of his mouth, nothing else.
In comparison, the injury on Pei Tianyu's face is much more serious.
Wan Cuilan suddenly became unhappy.
Her son was usually very timid and followed his elder brother Pei Zihao all day long. He would do whatever Pei Zihao told him to do, even to fights.
In the final analysis, all of this was caused by Pei Zihao.
Wan Cuilan said coldly, "Zihao, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but as a brother you should act like a brother. Look at what you have done to Tianyu. You are fine, but Tianyu's face is almost disfigured!"
Pei Zihao was about to explain when he heard Wan Cuilan continue, "It was you who caused Zheng Dahu's trouble. After all, he recognized you as his elder brother. Zihao, I think you should be more careful. You have hurt Tianyu several times. Second Aunt, please don't ask our Tianyu to go out and play with you anymore in the future, okay?"
Pei Tianyu's eyes widened and his face turned pale. He didn't expect his mother to suddenly say such a thing.
The smile on Pei Zihao's face had completely disappeared, his expression darkened for a moment, and he turned and left without saying a word.
"Mom, how can you talk to my brother like that!"
Pei Tianyu was angry. He shook off Wan Cuilan's hand and ran out to chase Pei Zihao.
"Pei Tianyu, come back to me!" Wan Cuilan shouted angrily.
However, Pei Tianyu didn't even look back.
"This brat, does he even remember who his mother is? He treats his cousin more closely than his biological parents! He is such a traitor!"
Wan Cuilan cursed and yelled.
"What happened? Why did I hear Tianyu ran out to chase Zihao?"
After a long while, Pei Zhiqiang came into the house and asked.
"I just said a few words to Zihao casually, but I didn't expect him to be so angry. He just turned his face away and ran away! Your son is even more outrageous. He even abandoned his mother for a cousin!"
Wan Cuilan was getting angry and added fuel to the fire.
Pei Zhiqiang looked at Wan Cuilan with deep eyes, "Although Zihao is usually naughty in front of outsiders, he never loses his temper in front of his family. He always respects his elders and loves his brothers and sisters. It is absolutely impossible for him to turn his face away in front of you because of a few words. You must have said something bad and hurt Zihao's self-esteem, so he ran away!"
Wan Cuilan knew that although Pei Zhiqiang was honest, he was not someone who could be easily fooled. After hearing what he said, she spoke directly, "I just told Zihao to stop taking Tianyu out to fool around in the future. I was not wrong! Tianyu is not the kind of person who would take the initiative to cause trouble. Look at how much trouble he has caused since he became Zihao's little tail. All of this is because Zihao, his brother, did not set a good example. Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
"It takes two to tango. Zihao is often at fault. Do you think Tianyu has done nothing wrong?"
Wan Cuilan sneered: "Don't say such high-sounding words. Zihao's behavior of causing trouble all day long, you can't stand it, right? I saw you hit him quite a lot. I just said a few words to him, and you reacted so strongly. I haven't even started yet!"
"I beat him because he did something wrong. He deserved it. Besides, Zihao never held a grudge after getting beaten."
"How do you know? Will he tell you if he holds a grudge?"
Wan Cuilan sneered.
Pei Zhiqiang shook his head. "I'm too lazy to argue with you. Let me tell you, you asked Zihao not to play with Tianyu. Have you forgotten that when Tianyu first went to school, he was bullied by his classmates, and Zihao was hit on the head with a brick in order to protect him?
Zihao almost died that time. If it was Tianyu who was injured, would you feel bad? For so many years, if Zihao, the brother, hadn't always protected Tianyu, Tianyu would have been bullied a lot with his personality. Don't you know all this?"
When this matter was mentioned, Wan Cuilan was like a deflated ball, and said hesitantly: "You are still bringing up such trivial matters!"
"Why not? I heard from the elders in the village that a head injury in childhood may cause a decline in intelligence. I also suspected that Zihao's poor academic performance now may be due to the fact that he blocked the blow for Tianyu, which affected his brain."
Pei Zhiqiang said softly.
"How is that possible! Tianyu's grades are also very bad! Aren't they both ranked last?"
Wan Cuilan retorted.
"Our Tianyu must be really stupid."
Pei Zhiqiang was silent for a while before he squeezed out this sentence.
Wan Cuilan: "Zihao isn't that smart!"
She said this, but she couldn't help but waver in her heart.
She thought back to Pei Zihao when he was a child. He seemed to be very smart indeed. He was taught by his eldest wife to recite the Thousand Character Classic when he was only two or three years old.
However, after he went to school, he and Pei Tianyu ranked last in exams more and more often, and everyone forgot about these past events.
Thinking of this, Wan Cuilan was actually a little scared.
If Pei Zihao is really bad at studying because of this, then they are ruining Pei Zihao's life.
Wan Cuilan suddenly regretted saying those words.
How could she not hold back her mouth?
Wan Cuilan pinched the corner of her clothes and said uncomfortably, "Do my elder brother and his wife know about this?"
"They don't know. Actually, these are just my guesses. After all, apart from studying, Zihao is also a very smart boy. Maybe I guessed wrong."
"I...I actually think your guess is quite right. Zihao was indeed quite smart when he was young. Maybe that injury really did affect his IQ."
After a long while, Wan Cuilan hesitantly uttered these words.
