Chapter 166 Grandpa He is seriously ill
Jiangnan raised his eyes full of anger and clenched his fists tightly: "I didn't, it was your kid who scolded me first!"
"Why did I scold you? Our children are very obedient. Unlike you, you have no parents, no upbringing, and you beat people up and slander them..."
“Pah—”
A clear sound of applause instantly calmed the scene.
The sister-in-law who was cursing didn't even know how Su Xiaoxiao got in front of her before she was slapped in the face.
She was stunned for a moment, then asked angrily: "You hit me? How dare you hit me?"
"If you don't want your mouth anymore, I can cut it off for you!"
Su Xiaoxiao's voice was icy cold, making people's hearts tremble, as if she would really cut off her mouth if she said one more word the next moment.
"Jiangnan, tell me the truth, why did you hit someone?"
Jiangnan tried his best to hold back his tears and anger: "They said behind my back that I was unlucky for you and that I would kill you all sooner or later, that's why I beat them!"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't look at him, but turned her head and stared coldly at her sister-in-law who was speaking: "Did you hear it?"
The sister-in-law was frightened by the coldness in her eyes and the terrifying aura around her. She dodged her gaze unconsciously and stammered, "How is that possible? Our children are very obedient..."
Chen Tang heard this and smiled with his chin propped up: "Let me remind my two sisters-in-law that the feudal idea of jinxing the father and mother is accurate once reported. Whatever the child knows, he only heard it from his parents.
Of course, if you two deny it, then it is you two children who are locked in a dark room, without water or food, living with rats every day, and having your toes gnawed by cockroaches. "
When the two children, aged seven or eight, heard this, they were so scared that they started crying instantly.
"It wasn't me who said that. It was my mom who said that. I heard it."
"I don't want to be locked up or have my toes bitten. Mom, please save me. I don't want to be reported. I will never curse Jiangnan again."
Even children know that if they are reported, the worst punishment is demoting them to a lower position or imprisonment.
When the two children heard that they were going to be reported and have to keep company with mice, they cried bitterly.
The mother of the two children looked extremely embarrassed. It wasn't them who first said that Jiangnan was unlucky for his parents. It was clearly those old women who said it first.
They just couldn't stand the fact that Su Xiaoxiao could always find so many fruits and wild vegetables on the mountain. They felt that everything on the mountain had been picked up by her, leaving them with nothing after going to the mountain early in the morning and being exhausted. They couldn't help but scold her at home, and the children heard it.
Everything on the mountain is public property. As long as you don't hunt and just dig some wild vegetables, no one will say anything.
The two people never thought that the places where Su Xiaoxiao found wild vegetables were all remote and sparsely visited places, and they went through deep mountains that ordinary people dared not go to.
The reason why they couldn't find wild fruits and vegetables was that many people had gone up the mountain recently, and they went up the mountain too late and didn't want to go higher, so they followed others and picked up some leftovers at the foot of the mountain.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't care what they were thinking. She stood in front of Jiangnan like a big Buddha and said coldly to the two children: "Apologize!"
The children had very accurate intuition. As soon as they saw Su Xiaoxiao, they knew she was not someone to be trifled with, and they all hid behind their mothers.
The two sisters-in-law felt that they had lost face and were very angry, but they still gritted their teeth and said, "Why apologize? Even if my child said something wrong, Jiangnan beat him up. We are lucky enough that we didn't ask you for money. If not, let's go!"
Apologize to your parents for bringing bad luck to you, don’t ruin your good fortune.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't care about their attitudes. She turned around and said to Jiangnan, "From today on, you will practice martial arts with me. Every time you see those two kids, you will beat them up until they apologize!"
Jiangnan's eyes suddenly lit up. The two children who had not walked far away cried their hearts out when they heard this.
Jiangnan, who had not learned martial arts, was able to beat them both until they were black and blue. Wouldn’t Jiangnan, who had learned martial arts, beat them to death in the future?
The two sisters-in-law turned around and questioned angrily, but when they met Su Xiaoxiao's indifferent eyes, their angry words were stuck in their throats.
The two gritted their teeth and pushed their children out: "Hurry up and apologize."
"I'm sorry Jiangnan, I shouldn't have said that to you."
"I, I apologize too. Now that you've learned martial arts, please don't hit me. I'll be beaten by my dad again when I go back."
Jiangnan looked at his aunt, and Su Xiaoxiao nodded to her. He then raised his chin and said proudly, "Okay, if you dare to say bad things about me again in the future, I will beat you up every time I hear you."
He secretly glanced at his aunt and found that she was drinking water silently from the porcelain cup. When she heard what he said, she had no intention of scolding him, so he became bolder.
Chen Tang glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "It tastes good, right?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded seriously: "It's delicious!"
Chen Tang smiled and poured two glasses of bayberry juice, one for her and one for Jiangnan.
Finally, he fed Xiao Hezhi a small spoonful of liquid and drank it himself from the porcelain cup.
Xiao Hezhi: "...Ahhh!"
He was heading home on his short legs, staggering like a little fat penguin.
Seeing this, Shen Tang couldn’t help laughing: “Come here.”
Little Hezhi stood still for half a second, turned around, and saw his mother patting the red cloth bag carrying the child on her back, pouting her lips and humming, then walking back unsteadily.
Just as he put himself in, he raised his chubby hands and patted Chen Tang, calling out in a baby voice: "Huiga~"
Shen Tang said to Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Nan, “Then I’ll go home.”
Su Xiaoxiao still had to help Jiangnan apply medicine, so she said, "I won't send you off. I'll wash the raspberries and send some to you."
Chen Tang shook his head: "No, save it for Jiangnan to eat, I have picked enough."
As she was carrying Xiao Hezhi out of the yard, she heard someone hurriedly calling her.
“Comrade Shen, the division commander wants you to come over.”
Seeing that the soldier looked anxious, Shen Tang got on his bicycle and hurried to the division commander's office.
He Xu was also in the office, which gave her a bad feeling.
The commander approved the leave application and gave it to him: "Go back and check the situation first, maybe everything is fine."
He Xu nodded, turned around and saw Chen Tang, and took the child from her arms: "Grandpa is critically ill, I plan to go back to the capital."
Chen Tang held his trembling hand and said, "I'll ask Director Liang for leave."
He Xu turned his head to look at her, his eyes that were broken by forbearance seemed to be stained with a layer of blood. He hugged Chen Tang and leaned on her shoulders. His tense shoulders relaxed and he said hoarsely in her ear: "Tangtang, I'm a little scared."
Chen Tang patted his back gently and comforted him softly: "Grandpa will be fine, don't be afraid, Xiao Atang and I will be with you."
He Xu nodded, kissed her lightly on the ear, and they went home to pack their things.
The news that Mr. He was critically ill had not been spread. Director Liang didn't know why Chen Tang wanted to take a two-month leave to return to the capital. He was a little dissatisfied at first, but when he heard that Chen Tang wanted to resign, he was relieved.
He must take Xiao Atang with him when going to the capital, and Grandma Zhang also wants to come along, so He Xu directly bought three sleeper tickets and returned to Kyoto.
They arrived the next morning. Shen Tang called Mr. Shen in advance, and the military vehicle that came to pick them up took them directly to Mr. He's ward.
