"Brothers, they're all bullies. You're definitely going to be targeted today. Move out before they realize what's happening!"
The man spoke earnestly and patiently, then quickly caught up with the group ahead.
Once everyone was gone, Chen Ji looked down at Xu Ruantang and asked, "Does your hand hurt?"
"......"
"I'm hiding my heart, nothing serious will happen."
Chen Ji frowned slightly, said nothing more, and pulled her away.
Xu Ruantang thought he would say something to her, since getting involved with this kind of person would probably lead to more trouble later.
She did it on purpose today.
Originally, Chen Ji could have protected her, but Xu Ruantang wanted to teach this kind of person a lesson herself.
When the two returned to the Chen family home, they were surprised to find several more people in the main room.
A little boy, about four or five years old, ran headlong out, and Xu Ruantang almost bumped into him because she wasn't paying attention.
Fortunately, Chen Ji pulled her aside and moved her to the side.
Xu Ruantang had Chen Ji, but the little boy wasn't so lucky. He fell to the ground and burst into loud sobs.
"Oh dear, oh dear, who has upset Grandma's precious darling again!"
My aunt, who had been listless just a few days ago, suddenly burst out of the yard, full of energy, and ran to the little boy's side in a flash.
The little boy wailed, pointing a finger at Xu Ruantang, "Hit her! Hit her! She bumped into me! Waaaaah..."
His howling was so loud that his uncle, who was sitting on the sofa in the main room, and Ye Lan, the old lady, and his godmother in the yard all gathered around.
"What happened? What happened? Where are you hurt?"
Ye Lan thought the child had fallen and asked with concern.
"Waaaaah, Grandma, go and hit her! Go now!"
The little boy rolled around on the ground, his eyes darting about, without a single tear on his face, patting his aunt's arm as he spoke.
Despite the thick clothes, the little boy's force was so strong that his aunt almost fell to the ground.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan's face darkened, and she looked at the little boy on the ground with a serious tone: "Xiao Jie, didn't your aunt tell you not to run around in the house, or you'll bump into people?"
If a child were running normally, Ye Lan would definitely not say anything.
But the eldest aunt's grandson is no ordinary person.
He was raised by his aunt from a young age. As the only grandson in the family, his aunt doted on Ye Shijie.
No matter how much he fussed, he always gave in to the child.
Whatever the child wanted, his aunt would do everything she could to get it for him.
This afternoon, Ye Tianyou brought his wife and children back ahead of schedule.
The family of three originally planned to stay in a hotel, but Ye Tianyou also thought that since Chen Ji got married this year, the small courtyard would definitely not be big enough for them.
He discussed it with his wife, and she agreed to do so.
To my surprise, as soon as I got off the train, my aunt and uncle were waiting outside.
My aunt's first words were, "Why stay in a hotel? You've got too much money to burn. We only come back once a year, and your aunt has already arranged accommodations. Haven't you eaten yet? Let's go back to the Chen family home first, and Ye Lan will cook for you!"
Ye Tianyou frowned as he listened to his aunt's matter-of-fact tone.
His mother loves to take advantage of others and likes to compare herself to others. She is never forgiving when she is right, and she can argue her way out of anything, even when she is wrong.
After she grew up, Ye Tianyou talked about her several times.
But every time, my aunt would cry, lamenting how difficult it was to raise Ye Tianyou and complaining about her husband Ye Jianjun's inaction.
She even cried and said, "I'm doing this all for the good of the Ye family. I raised you with so much hardship, and now you've grown up and are lecturing your old mother."
And so on, a whole bunch of similar things were said.
After one or two times, Ye Tianyou stopped talking about it.
Ye Tianyou's wife had mentioned the issue of their son Ye Shijie's education to him.
Ye Tianyou tolerated everything else, but not this one. He had said it many times in front of his aunt.
Seeing that her son was very determined, the aunt agreed on the surface, saying that she would never spoil the child again.
In private, when Ye Tianyou was at work, his aunt would behave in a certain way.
His wife cried secretly several times, but she didn't dare to tell her aunt, because it would cause a big problem.
My aunt could stay up all night, sitting in the main room or courtyard wiping away tears, determined not to give up until she got what she wanted.
They even turned the tables, accusing Ye Tianyou of forgetting his mother after marrying a wife and lamenting that his daughter-in-law was unfilial.
Not content with causing trouble at home, he often goes out and drags the neighbors along to badmouth his daughter-in-law.
Ye Shijie, who was spoiled by his aunt, was a bully who preyed on the weak and bullied others. He was a little kid, but he was full of tricks.
Ye Lan knew his character, which is why she pulled him aside and said a few words to him at the beginning.
The main reason is that there are elderly people in the family, and they can't stand it if he bumps into or knocks them.
"Waaaah... Waaaah... I don't care, I don't care, Grandma, my body hurts so much, it hurts so much, ahhhhhh."
Ye Shijie wouldn't listen to Ye Lan at all, and instead started howling even louder. When a child cries, it's incredibly jarring.
He rolled on the ground, wailing, his red cotton-padded jacket covered in a layer of dust.
Just wailing isn't a big deal, but when Ye Shijie saw that his aunt didn't immediately carry out his order, he started screaming at the top of his lungs.
That sound was unsettling and disturbing.
"Auntie, I just walked in the door and he rushed straight at me, so I didn't have time to react."
Xu Ruantang looked innocent. "If Chen Ji hadn't pulled me back, he would have bumped into me and would probably be even more seriously injured now."
She did nothing, but hearing the screams made her fists hard.
Ye Lan patted Xu Ruantang on the shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to pay attention. "There are still steamed buns and porridge in the pot. Have you two had lunch?"
She immediately changed the subject and pulled Xu Ruantang towards the courtyard.
You can't reason with a child like this; he's been spoiled rotten.
Ye Lan thought to herself, "If he wants to howl, let him lie on the ground and howl slowly. Let's see how long he can last."
Obviously, my aunt didn't think that way.
She quickly stood up and stood in front of Ye Lan and Xu Ruantang, saying anxiously, "Second sister, just let Ruantang apologize to Xiao Jie and coax him a little."
Ye Lan's face darkened, and she spoke much faster, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Ruan Tang is Ye Shijie's elder. How can an elder apologize to a junior? Besides, Ruan Tang did nothing."
Auntie didn't back down an inch. All she could hear was Ye Shijie's screams. She forced a smile and said, "Second sister, Xiao Jie is still a child. He's so young, how could he understand all those big principles you're talking about? Just coax him a little."
As she spoke, her aunt glanced at Ye Shijie, who was rolling on the ground, and said with a pained expression, "It's so cold. He'll catch a cold lying on the ground."
“He’s just a kid, how much strength can he have? You and your older brother can just pull him up.”
Ye Lan said firmly, "If you're not strong enough, then go call Tianyou. I can handle this kid!"
