Chapter 236 Why did you hit her?

Xingxing's voice was mixed in: "Auntie, stop hitting her! I took her to my house, it's none of her business."

Lin Wanxia heard Xingxing's voice and hurriedly quickened her pace.

When she got there, she saw Tan Qiuyun holding Tangtang's wrist with one hand and hitting her butt with a thin wooden stick with the other hand.

Tangtang dodged in pain, but her wrist was held and she couldn't dodge, so she could only put her hands behind her butt and cried for mercy.

"Mom, I was wrong!"

"I won't dare to do it again!"

"There won't be a next time! Ah! It hurts, I was wrong!"

"Take your hand away! I'll teach you a lesson! If you block me again, I'll break your arm! Let's see if you dare to run around next time."

Lin Wanxia couldn't bear it any longer, so she ran two steps forward and grabbed Tan Qiuyun's hand that was swinging the stick, "Sister-in-law, what are you arguing about with a child?"

Lin Wanxia was a martial artist with strong hands. Tan Qiuyun tried to pull her hand away but it didn't move. She said with a cold face, "Sister-in-law, I take care of my own child, don't interfere."

"Yes, Tangtang is your child. But this is at my doorstep, can you give me face and forgive her for once? She knows she's wrong at such a young age." Lin Wanxia persuaded gently, feeling a little unhappy in her heart.

Beating the child in front of her at the door of her house is also a slap in her face. Did he think she was meddling in other people's business and took Tangtang in?!

Tan Qiuyun probably saw that Lin Wanxia was not very happy, so she loosened her hand, dragged Tangtang and turned around and walked away, "Let's go! I'll deal with you when we get home."

When Tangtang heard this, of course she refused to leave, and she backed away with her waist bent.

Tan Qiuyun dragged her forward.

The little girl's feet dragged long marks on the ground.

Xingxing was a little anxious, and came over to pull Lin Wanxia's hand, "Lin Wanxia, ​​please save Tangtang."

Lin Wanxia shook her head and pulled Xingxing back to her tent.

Xingxing was a little angry, "Lin Wanxia, ​​you have changed! You were not like this before!"

Lin Wanxia took off her scarf and coat and hung them on the hanger, then turned her head and asked Xingxing, "What was I like before?"

"You used to help those in trouble. But now you watch Tangtang being bullied and do nothing."

Lin Wanxia hung up her own clothes and came over to unbutton Xingxing's coat, "It's not that I don't want to intervene, but I can't."

Xingxing knew that Lin Wanxia would not lie to him, so his tone was better, "Why can't you intervene? You can't beat Tangtang's mother?"

Lin Wanxia raised her hand unhappily and poked Xingxing on the forehead with her index finger, "Can everything be solved by fighting?"

She took off Xingxing's coat and hung it on the hanger, then sat on the cushion at the table, took the small pot and planned to make a pot of milk tea.

While busying herself with adding water to the pot, she explained to Xingxing: "I am a mother who can beat Tangtang, but if I do that, Tangtang will be beaten even harder by her mother when she goes home.

Just like today when you saw Tangtang standing in the corner as punishment, we dragged her to our house.

Although she got some peace for a while, she was beaten even harder because of it, and she may still be punished to stand in the corner and not be able to eat when she goes home.

Then you... Did you help her or hurt her today?"

Xingxing's face wrinkled. He could understand what Lin Wanxia said, but he still didn't understand, "Why? Didn't you say that when you are angry, I go out to play and come back, you won't bother with me when you are no longer angry?"

Because Jiang Sinian is a fan of "a good son is born under the stick". When Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian just got married, Xingxing was often beaten.

Of course, Jiang Sinian's beating of Xingxing was definitely not without reason, and he was not as deadly as Tan Qiuyun. Most of the time, he was just trying to scare him.

Xingxing just stood there crying.

The more he did this, the angrier Jiang Sinian would be, and the harder he would beat him.

Lin Wanxia taught Xingxing, "Next time you see your daddy getting angry and about to beat you, run away quickly. Don't worry, he won't chase you. When you come back after playing around, he will no longer be angry and won't beat you."

Crying on the spot when being beaten is the dumbest choice.

Fortunately, Xingxing had many places to visit, and he hid from one family to another, so he was beaten less and less.

Later, he became more and more sensible, and Jiang Sinian didn't beat him so much.

Lin Wanxia didn't know how to explain to Xingxing that their family situation was different from other families.

In fact, if Jiang Sinian was not a soldier and Xingxing was not an orphan of martyrs, Lin Wanxia would not have always been kind to Xingxing at the beginning.

Feelings are cultivated later.

Her own experience is one in a billion, so she became a relatively special stepmother.

However, Tan Qiuyun is just an ordinary person.

She is just an ordinary one among thousands of stepmothers.

No matter it is due to her upbringing or other reasons, it is obvious that Tan Qiuyun does not like Tangtang.

To say that she does not like him is an understatement.

Tan Qiuyun is very straightforward in her dislike for Tangtang and does not want to hide it at all.

After a long time, Lin Wanxia touched Xingxing's little head and told him: "People are different, and the way each family gets along is also different. We can only do our best. If we still have the ability, we will give others some care and help within our ability."

Xingxing frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Lin Wanxia's answer.

What he cares about is that Tangtang will still be beaten!

But Lin Wanxia did not say how to prevent Tangtang from being beaten.

Lin Wanxia did not give Xingxing a chance to ask further questions, and turned to the kitchen to cook.

Jiang Sinian will come back for lunch at noon.

Because the transport ship just landed yesterday, there are some fresher vegetables.

Of course, freshness is relative. After such a long journey,

even the cabbage began to curl up.

At noon, there was hot pork and vermicelli stewed with cabbage, as well as scrambled eggs with onions and stir-fried pork with peppers.

Two dishes and one soup were enough for a family of three.

Xingxing was still not very happy during the meal.

Jiang Sinian, who had just sat down, was about to ask why, but the little girl's crying sounded again.

Xingxing threw down his chopsticks and ran out.

Lin Wanxia's outstretched hand didn't even catch the corner of his clothes. She turned her head to look at Jiang Sinian, "He's not wearing a coat."

Jiang Sinian could only put down his chopsticks, put on his own coat and went to find his son to deliver clothes.

Lin Wanxia also put down her chopsticks, her appetite was not very good.

In the morning, when Tan Qiuyun dragged Tangtang away, Lin Wanxia saw new and old scars under the rolled up cuffs.

There were long strips and nail marks.

Lin Wanxia was a little confused. Even if she didn't like being a stepmother, she could just deal with it coldly. Why did she have to treat the child like this?

After a while, Jiang Sinian and his son came back. When they entered the door, their faces were not very good.

Especially Xingxing, who was sitting at the table with his arms hugged angrily.

Lin Wanxia looked up at Jiang Sinian with a questioning look.

Jiang Si sighed: "Tan Qiuyun wants a child, but Instructor Liu doesn't want it."

Lin Wanxia was stunned: "Huh? No, what does it have to do with Tangtang whether they want a child or not? Why did they beat her?"
