Wenwen was interrupted from reading by the little monkey.
She walked into the yard and saw Xiao Huimin fetching water and Wen Xiao sorting firewood. She looked at the shed full of firewood.
"Fourth brother, you guys went to chop firewood again. Didn't you chop so much firewood when my cousin was here? I see the shed is full."
"Not much. The fellow villagers have told us to stock up more now, otherwise it will be difficult to cut down the green trees on the mountain, and it will take almost a year to burn. Besides, I also want to go up the mountain to catch pheasants." Wen Xiao said.
Wenwen...
I think the last sentence is the key point.
Xiao Huimin poured the water into the water tank. He smiled and said, "Yes, Xiaowen, the educated youth, since there is no farm work now, just chop more firewood."
Ever since Xiao Huimin got drunk on New Year's Eve and told his family background, he has become much more cheerful than before and can often be seen grinning from ear to ear.
"You two can only chop wood outside the mountain. Don't go deep into the mountain. If you encounter wild animals, it's no joke." Wenwen warned.
"Don't worry, Xiaowen, we have it figured out."
"I think Lanlan has gotten much better recently. Tell me when you finish the medicine. When I write home, ask your family to go to the hospital to buy some more." Wenwen said to Xiao Huimin.
Xiao Huimin said gratefully: "This medicine is really effective. Lanlan has been willing to speak recently." Although it was just a simple call to brother, sister, and grandfather, he was really very happy. As long as she was willing to speak, she would get better and better.
"For Lanlan's disease, medicine is only auxiliary. The most important thing is the mood, environment and psychological counseling of family members. Lanlan has gotten much better since coming to Lijiawan. Now it's even better with Cancan by her side." Wenwen feels that Cancan has made a greater contribution.
Xiao Huimin thought about it and said, "In short, thank you!"
Just as they were talking, a group of people came here in a mighty manner, and there was also a voice that came before the people arrived.
I saw an old woman with droopy eyelids pulling a snotty-nosed boy of eight or nine years old.
"Xiao Wen, the educated youth, come and see, your little monkey beat up my big cow."
The old woman was the mother of Zhang Laizi, a villager in the village, and Zhang Daniu was the eldest grandson of the Zhang family. Mrs. Zhang spoiled her grandson rotten, and would always snatch away any delicious or fun things from other children.
Wenwen looked at Zhang Daniu's red and swollen face, and then at her own little monkey.
"Aunt Zhang, look at my Cancan. How could he, who is so small, beat your big cow like that?" Wenwen thought, maybe he wanted to extort money.
"Xiao Wen, the educated youth, you can ask these children. It was your little monkey who beat them. Oh my God! They beat my big cow like this!" Mrs. Zhang began her singing and speaking performance.
"Stop, don't shout if you want to solve the problem." Wenwen just felt a headache.
Wenwen looked at the group of children and saw Cancan hiding in Xiao Jiaolan's arms, burying his head and pretending to be dead.
Wenwen saw that the little monkey looked like he was afraid to face the trouble he had caused. There was nothing she didn't understand, but she just couldn't believe how the little monkey's hands could slap a person's face so hard that it became swollen.
Cancan secretly glanced at Wenwen with one eye, and when Wenwen glared at him, he quickly buried his head in Lanlan's arms.
Wenwen looked at the children and said, "Can anyone tell me what happened? I'll give each of you three candies later."
The temptation was so great that the children all rushed to tell each other what had happened...
In order to encourage Xiao Jiaolan to go out and play with other children, Wenwen would put a few candies in her pockets every day for her to eat or give to other children she got along well with.
Zhang Daniu saw that Xiao Jiaolan had candy but didn't give it to him. With Zhang Daniu's personality, he would definitely not give up, so he started to snatch it away and even beat Xiao Jiaolan. Lanlan was too stupid to fight back, but the little monkey was not happy.
These days, Lanlan gave it delicious food and took it out to play. The most important thing was that Wenwen told it to protect Lanlan.
So the little monkey jumped onto Zhang Daniu's shoulders and kept slapping him.
Yeah, very visual.
Wenwen held her forehead and thought that she was the one who had taught the child bad things.
"Ahem, Aunt Zhang, what do you want to do now?"
"Pay me money. You have to pay me money for hurting my grandson."
"How much do you want?" He was indeed here to extort money.
"Two...you have to pay six dollars." Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned and saw that this young educated youth was a soft-hearted person. At this time, Mrs. Zhang forgot that this was a man who could kill a wild boar.
"Bah, this old woman is so shameless. She, as an adult, comes to argue when kids are fighting. Everyone knows the character of her grandson." At this time, several aunts came to watch the fun.
"Bully Xiaowen, the educated youth, because he's not from this village!"
"Xiao Wen, the educated youth, do you want to call the team leader?" One of the aunts was afraid that she would suffer a loss.
Wenwen waved her hand. Generally, disputes among women in the village are mediated by the women's director, but there is no women's director in Lijiawan.
But Wenwen is not a softie either.
"Aunt Zhang, are you too old to hear? Didn't you hear that it was your grandson who started to grab things and hit our Lanlan first?"
Wenwen stumped Mrs. Zhang as soon as she opened her mouth.
"What do you mean by beating someone? She was fine, but now it's my grandson who is beaten like this." Mrs. Zhang threw a tantrum.
"Hey! What you mean is that it's no big deal if your grandson didn't beat anyone to death, right? Let me tell you, your grandson was the first to grab things and then hit people. My Cancan was protecting Lanlan who was sick and didn't know how to protect herself. This was legal self-defense." Wenwen crossed her arms.
Don't even think about just getting his face swollen. With your grandson's personality, he might even be beaten to death in the future."
"What are you talking about, you little bitch?" Mrs. Zhang couldn't stand hearing others say bad things about her eldest grandson, so she was about to go up and tear Wenwen apart.
Wen Xiao and Xiao Huimin stood in front of Wenwen, and even the little monkey warned Mrs. Zhang with a snarl of his teeth.
Wenwen pushed aside the two people blocking her way. "If you want to hit me, go ahead and do it. Your grandson hit Lanlan first. Lanlan was already a patient, and now she's been beaten by your grandson. We don't know if her condition has worsened. We need to go to a big hospital for a checkup. Your Zhang family will definitely have to pay for the medical expenses, as well as the travel expenses. If you refuse to pay for the medical expenses, we will call the police."
"Auntie Zhang, please don't go. Let's settle the medical expenses. Don't you want compensation?" Wenwen shouted.
The more she yelled, the faster Mrs. Zhang walked, dragging her grandson along. "These educated youth from the city are so difficult to deal with," she said. "We need to go to the hospital for a checkup, and a big one at that. How much will that cost?" She even said she was going to call the police.
Bah, you want to blackmail her? No way. Just wait for this little bitch.
Everyone looked at Zhang Po's back as she left, it was really...
Unexpectedly, the usually difficult Mrs. Zhang was scared away by just a few words from the educated youth Xiao Wen.
Children don’t have as many complicated thoughts as adults, and they all surrounded Wenwen at this time.
Wenwen was holding a bag of fruit candies in her hand and distributing three pieces to each child. The child said happily: Thank you, Sister Wen!
