Chen Ji didn't rush to help him up, but stood indifferently to the side, letting him roll on the ground.
The eyes of those around Ye Shijie fell on him, and a child ran over, pointed at him and laughed, "Wow, look how tall he's grown, and he's still acting like a child."
“Uncle, hit him. When I did this before, my dad would come out with a stick and beat me up.”
The childish voice spoke words that terrified Ye Shijie.
In the compound, any child who was even slightly mischievous grew up being chased with a stick.
Such a naive tactic has been abandoned by everyone for a long time.
Seeing that his plan had failed, Ye Shijie jumped up and was about to run back.
Someone grabbed the back of my neck.
"Where to? We haven't reached the training ground yet."
Chen Ji's cold, deep voice rang out above Ye Shijie's head.
The aunt-in-law was so anxious that she kept pacing around.
But she couldn't outmaneuver Chen Ji, nor did she dare to.
Chen Ji rarely paid attention to them, but once he got serious, even his aunt was intimidated.
She could only watch from the sidelines to prevent Chen Jizhen from bullying her eldest grandson.
Chen Ji really didn't bully the child.
Those who trained with Ye Shijie were all young men who had just joined the army.
By the time they returned to the Chen family home, it was already dark.
Dinner was ready, but Ye Lan didn't call everyone to eat, thinking she was waiting for Chen Ji to come back.
Xu Ruantang had some porridge in the afternoon and wasn't hungry, so she sat in the main room watching TV and eating sunflower seeds.
Ye Tianyou and his wife had had a good sleep, so they went downstairs and sat together.
Ye Tianyou's wife's name is Cai Mengjun. She is a quiet, somewhat introverted and gentle girl.
When Xu Ruantang finished her water, she immediately refilled it.
Logically, she was a guest, and Xu Ruantang should have greeted her, but Cai Mengjun didn't give her a chance at all.
She took care of everyone sitting around the sofa.
In the eyes of the eldest aunt, this kind of daughter-in-law was actually portrayed as a fool who didn't earn money and couldn't do anything.
Indeed, you can't listen to only one side of the story.
Dinner was also prepared by Cai Mengjun, her godmother, and Ye Lan.
Xu Ruantang helped pick vegetables, but the others weren't allowed to cook.
"Ruan Tang, it's the New Year, you can just pick the vegetables."
Ye Lan put it rather tactfully.
Godmother nodded, "Yes, yes, we have guests at home, and they can't stand being messed with by you."
Xu Ruantang: "......"
Ye Shijie was taken away by Chen Ji when he left, and the same thing happened when he returned.
But the reasons are different.
I left unwillingly, but now it's because my legs are weak and I have no strength.
Ye Shijie and the young soldiers hung from the horizontal bar, competing to see who could hold the position the longest.
They chased after Ye Shijie, carrying large insects.
He was terrified of insects, so he could only run around the playground again and again.
Various tricks were used, including calling out to the aunt and making a scene.
She was also afraid of insects; she couldn't even reach the horizontal bar, and she couldn't save her grandson.
Ye Shijie hung his head as Chen Ji lifted him and placed him on the sofa like a chick.
"Quick, get me a glass of water!"
My aunt slid over on her knees and immediately began to direct my uncle.
What kind of grandmother kneels before her grandson?
The eldest uncle couldn't stand it, so he turned his face away and pretended not to see it.
Cai Mengjun poured the water and handed it to her aunt.
The aunt dodged the attack, her rough movements nearly knocking Cai Mengjun over.
"Give it to me! This useless thing!"
Auntie was furious but had nowhere to vent her anger. Seeing Cai Mengjun's pathetic state only fueled her rage.
Ye Tianyou stood up, pressed Cai Mengjun back down on the sofa, and said angrily, "Mom, can you speak to Mengjun in a nicer tone?"
My aunt ignored her completely, just snorted coldly.
She held the cup and offered it to Ye Shijie in a flattering manner, saying cautiously, "Shijie, Grandma's dear grandson, are you thirsty? Get up and have some water."
With a "bang," Ye Shijie casually swung his hand, and the cup was pushed aside and smashed on the coffee table.
Water splashed everywhere, and the water just happened to hit the spot where Xu Ruantang was sitting.
Fortunately, she was wearing thick clothes, so the hot water splashed on her body and legs, but she didn't feel much.
A tall figure loomed over them, and Chen Ji, his face grim, pulled Xu Ruantang up and nervously examined her exposed skin.
"Is anywhere you're burned?"
He asked.
Xu Ruantang shook her head and picked up a tissue from the table to wipe herself bit by bit.
"Come on, let's go to the bathroom and wipe ourselves down with a towel."
Chen Ji pulled her away.
As he passed Ye Shijie, his eyes were cold and sharp.
Ye Shijie was only annoyed with his grandmother and didn't intend to splash boiling water on others. His face, which was originally rosy from running around too much, turned pale at this moment.
He has come to a profound understanding of how terrifying Chen Ji is today.
It was just bad luck; he had just bumped into his uncle's wife at noon and was beaten up by his uncle.
Now something else has happened.
Chen Ji pulled Xu Ruantang along and quickly headed towards the first-floor restroom.
Ye Shijie slumped onto the sofa.
"My dear grandson, are you burned anywhere?"
The eldest aunt was only concerned with checking if her grandson was injured, and said anxiously.
"It's all your fault!"
Ye Shijie shoved his aunt away, "Get away from me!"
Who would have thought that a child could have such explosive power? My aunt, who is strong and robust, was also pushed and fell to the ground.
"Shijie! What are you doing!"
Ye Tianyou suddenly stood up from the sofa, "Who taught you to push Grandma?!"
Being scolded and reprimanded by this person and that person pushes one's physical and mental endurance to its limit.
Ye Shijie burst into tears, "It's all Grandma's fault! Waaah, it's all Grandma's fault! Grandma made me run away, Grandma brought me water! Why don't you blame her? You blame me!"
Ye Shijie tearfully recounted his accusations, his voice filled with heart-wrenching anguish.
Sitting on the cold ground, my aunt didn't feel anything.
Now that her grandson is saying these things, it hurts her even more than if someone stabbed her in the heart.
Chen Ji took Xu Ruantang to the bathroom. Fortunately, the water was wiped off quickly and not much water had seeped into their clothes.
But Chen Ji was still worried, touching her clothes with his hand, "Wife, shall we go home?"
"No need, it's really nothing, let's go out."
If Ye Shijie's crying outside isn't resolved soon, no one will be able to eat in peace tonight.
The two returned to the main room, and Chen Ji pulled Xu Ruantang to sit down in the place furthest away from Ye Shijie.
Ye Shijie was a coward; he immediately stopped crying when he saw Chen Ji.
He wiped away his tears, stood up from the sofa, and walked shakily toward Chen Ji.
"Uncle."
His voice trembled slightly.
Chen Ji looked up at him, his expression indifferent, and said, "Speak."
"sorry."
To everyone's surprise, Yip Sai-kit, who was always as stubborn as a city wall and never apologized, took the initiative to say the three words "I'm sorry".
Chen Ji's expression remained indifferent. "I wasn't the one who got splashed with water or bumped into. You shouldn't apologize to me."
His voice was deep and his tone was much gentler.
Ye Shijie paused, slowly moved to Xu Ruantang's side, and moved his lips, "Auntie, I'm sorry, it was all my fault today. I was wrong, and I will never do it again."
His words were heartfelt, and as he spoke, tears streamed down his face.
