Snap!
Hua Li slapped Liu Jingqiu hard across the face.
"How could you do that?" Hua Li was trembling with anger.
No wonder that when she took Luo Yan, who had just learned to walk, to play with other children in the courtyard, there were a few times when she went to relieve herself and asked a neighbor to look after her. When she ran there and back, Luo Yan cried her heart out.
At the time, she thought the child was crying because she couldn't find her mother. But when she got home, she found pinch marks on the child's body. After that, she rarely took Luo Yan out to play anymore. Now it seems that Liu Jingqiu was the one who pinched Luo Yan.
"You schemed against me, framed me, and got Luo Shicheng to help you bully me. It's my fault for being incompetent, and I deserve it. But you harmed my child, and I'll fight you to the death!"
Hua Li grabbed Liu Jingqiu and beat her like a madwoman, like an enraged tigress.
Seeing that Hua Li hadn't suffered any losses, Chen Yuanshan picked up Luo Yan and moved away to avoid scaring the child.
Luo Shicheng rescued Liu Jingqiu from Hua Li's clutches and then stopped Hua Li from persuading him.
"It's illegal to injure someone, calm down."
Hua Li stared with bloodshot eyes, and when she saw that it was Luo Shicheng who was blocking her way, she raised her hands and struck Luo Shicheng with both hands, causing blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.
Luo Shicheng accepted the beatings and scoldings because he deserved it.
Liu Jingqiu cried out with heartache, "Shicheng, don't stop her. If Comrade Hua Li is angry, let her take it out on me."
Luo Shicheng's chest heaved violently; he didn't want to see Liu Jingqiu again, much less hear her speak.
"Liu Jingqiu, I paid back what I owed Anguo the moment you hit Yanyan. Now go away, and don't let me see you again."
Seeing that no matter how she hit Luo Shicheng, he wouldn't budge, Hua Li pounced on him and pushed him hard. She wouldn't stop until she made Liu Jingqiu kneel down and admit her mistake.
Luo Shicheng hugged Hua Li with heartache. He was also angry and wanted to beat Liu Jingqiu, who didn't even spare a baby. But Liu Jingqiu was a family member of a martyr. If things got out of hand, Hua Li would be the one to suffer.
"Liu Jingqiu can be so heartless as to hit Yan Yan, who's still breastfeeding, and you're still protecting her? Luo Shicheng, you're a beast!"
Luo Shicheng hung his head and let Hua Li hit, pinch, and scratch him, venting all his anger on him.
However, Luo Shicheng underestimated a mother's protectiveness towards her child. Hua Li raised her knee and struck Luo Shicheng's most vulnerable spot, causing Luo Shicheng to faint from the pain and kneel on one knee.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hua Li bypassed Luo Shicheng and went straight to Liu Jingqiu, which frightened Liu Jingqiu so much that he turned around and ran away, and also closed the door and locked it from the outside.
Liu Jingqiu had escaped, but An Xiaotong was still in the ward. When she saw Hua Li turn around and walk towards her, she was so scared that she didn't even dare to cry.
Hua Li warned An Xiaotong, "Don't be like your mother, all you have is a bad heart, or you'll get a beating sooner or later."
An Xiaotong nodded timidly, looking clueless, which made Hua Li feel uneasy just looking at her.
"Mom!" Luo Yan reached out to Hua Li...
She was an orphan and never knew what it felt like to be loved by her mother. When she was bullied, she could only hide in a corner and comfort herself. It wasn't until today, when she saw Hua Li go crazy, that she understood the true meaning of "a mother's strength is boundless".
Perhaps Hua Li is cowardly, humble, and has an incurable obsession with love, but she is truly a good mother.
For the first time, Luo Yan began to enjoy this transmigration journey, because she finally had the wonderful mother she had always dreamed of.
Hua Li held Luo Yan tightly. It was her fault for not protecting the child properly, causing such a young child to suffer so much undeserved pain.
Feeling that Hua Li was trembling uncontrollably, Luo Yan was worried that something was wrong and kept patting Hua Li's chest and back with her small hands.
Chen Yuanshan also noticed that Hua Li was not right. He helped Hua Li sit down in a chair, poured her a glass of water and fed her.
Luo Shicheng endured the excruciating pain and tried to go forward to check on Hua Li's condition, but as soon as he got close, Hua Li's eyes widened, looking as if she wanted to bite him to death.
"You should leave first, and we can talk again after Comrade Hua Li has calmed down."
Chen Yuanshan didn't want Hua Li to get into trouble, so he stopped arguing with Luo Shicheng and instead tried to persuade him gently.
Hua Li was really not in good condition. Luo Shicheng was also afraid of upsetting Hua Li, so even though he was unwilling to lose to Chen Yuanshan, he still took An Xiaotong, called someone to open the door, and left.
Watching her scumbag father leave, Luo Yan sighed. He was truly hopeless; not to mention her mother, even she felt a little disheartened.
After a long while, Hua Li finally calmed down and asked Luo Yan what exactly happened at the kindergarten.
Chen Yuanshan wanted to explain, but before he could speak, Luo Yan had already slid off Hua Li's arms to the ground and started her performance.
Luo Yan grabbed Chen Yuanshan with both of her little hands, and Chen Yuanshan pretended to push Luo Yan, causing her to fall onto the hospital bed. Xiao Xiu touched her fluffy little head and stroked it.
Dissatisfied with her interrupted performance, Luo Yan slapped away Xiao Xiu's mischievous hands, stood up with a frown, made a pushing motion, and then fell back onto the bed, slamming her head on Xiao Xiu's leg, hissing and whimpering as she covered her forehead.
Hua Li, "An Xiaotong hit you, and you pushed An Xiaotong down and bumped your head?"
Luo Yan, even if Mom is right, you can't agree to it because it's too complicated; a baby like you probably wouldn't understand.
Chen Yuanshan quickly vouched for Luo Yan, saying, "It wasn't Yan Yan who pushed her, it was Xiao Xiu."
So that means Liu Jingqiu's daughter did hit Luo Yan. Then who are they trying to disgust by acting like they did nothing wrong and were just being lenient with Luo Yan because she's younger?
Hua Li once again hated her own cowardice, which allowed Liu Jingqiu and her daughter to act so recklessly.
Seeing that Hua Li was about to cry again, Luo Yan was afraid.
"Grandpa loves Yan Yan, but he beats Grandma."
Chen Yuanshan quickly translated, not wanting to cause trouble for his superior.
"When I received the call from the principal, Commander Sun happened to be there as well. He was worried that something might happen to Yan Yan, so he came over."
After understanding what happened, Commander Sun demanded that the police officer in charge of the case handle it impartially, and that we would not accept mediation or compensation; the perpetrator, Wu Hong, the kindergarten caregiver, must be severely punished.
Hua Li was puzzled as to why Wu Hong would attack Xiao Xiu. Chen Yuanshan asked.
"Wu Hong wanted to hit Yan Yan, but Xiao Xiu bit Wu Hong to protect Yan Yan."
Later, Yan Yan ran out to call the police. Wu Hong tried to arrest Yan Yan, but Xiao Xiu tried to stop Wu Hong and was beaten, suffering a concussion.
It was Xiao Xiu who bravely protected her precious daughter. Hua Li was grateful and heartbroken. She held Xiao Xiu's hand and choked up, "Thank you, Xiao Xiu."
Xiao Xiu closed her eyes and gently squeezed Hua Li's hand in response.
Hua Li suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Luo Yan, who was lying on the edge of the bed fiddling with Xiao Xiu's other hand.
"Yanyan, who taught you to go to the police station to report the crime?"
When children encounter difficulties, their first reaction is to find a teacher, or they cry and look for their parents. I've never heard of a three-and-a-half-year-old toddler voluntarily running to the police station to report a crime.
Luo Yan paused, her little hand, which had been playing with her fingers, in a moment of confusion. How could she explain this in a reasonable way?
Got it!
Luo Yan chattered on and on, making Hua Li's head spin.
Chen Yuanshan helped explain, "Didn't you say that you picked up Xiao Xiu? Maybe it was because you took Xiao Xiu to the police station to report the case that Yan Yan remembered it. So when she encountered violence, Yan Yan subconsciously followed your example and went to the police station to report the case."
To be honest, Chen Yuanshan's explanation was quite reasonable, Luo Yan chuckled to herself.
