"I was confused." Hong An bent his waist and followed Shen Qingwu closely.
Compared to when we met two months ago, Hong An now looked much older, with half of his jet-black hair turning white.
"I used to think that it was normal for children to fight and quarrel. Every boy fights." Hong An lowered his head, full of shame.
"That was my mistake. I thought my family was always rich, so if someone got hurt, the worst that could happen was compensation. I also knew a few powerful people, so even if things got really bad, I could just talk to them and settle it."
When Hong An said this, his back became even more hunched.
"I always think that this is how the world is. Money can make the world go round." Hong An stopped.
"It's been like this all these years. Ever since he could walk, he loved to fight with others. His mother and I would take money and go to apologize to them."
"We never put on airs. At most, we just offered money to resolve the issue, and the other party agreed to this approach."
"When he grew up, I talked to him about it and even spanked him. He always seemed to be very responsive, but he never truly repented..."
Following Shen Qingwu's gaze, he looked at the young man who was tied up like a dumpling on the bed.
That was his son, Hong Xiangyang, who had just celebrated his tenth birthday.
Hong Xiangyang and Hong An seem to be carved from the same mold.
Hong Xiang's face was covered with tears at this time. Seeing Hong An coming over, he cried even more miserably, "Dad, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I won't dare to do it again."
But those blurry tearful eyes couldn't help but drift towards Shen Qingwu.
I wondered in my heart, who is this beautiful woman?
Why did the old man seem so respectful to her?
Hong An turned his back and raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Miss Chen, I, Hong An, have raised dogs for several years, but I never thought that a real beast would be raised in my own home."
"Over the years, because of his fights, I, Hong An, have apologized to people as if he were my grandson. This beast didn't see that at all. Last month, he even got into a fight with his mother at home."
"After I came back, I hit him. He wanted to fight back, but he was no match for me, so he admitted his mistake."
"But I didn't expect that within ten days, he would almost get into trouble again..."
Hong An suddenly squatted on the ground and cried bitterly. He was too embarrassed to say the following words.
"What a sin! I, Hong An, have committed such a sin—" Hong An could no longer suppress the grief in his heart, "I have raised an ungrateful wolf."
Shen Qingwu looked back at Hong An, stepped forward, and placed his left hand on the boy's forehead.
The young man was like a ferocious little wolf, with his bright black eyes wide open, he asked her, "Are you the woman my father found for me?"
Shen Qingwu ignored him. She saw what had happened in the past half month in the boy's memory.
A ten-year-old boy is neither too old nor too young.
He actually used candy to lure a seven or eight-year-old girl back home and then wanted to abuse her.
The little girl was not completely ignorant, so she naturally refused. Hong Xiangyang tried to force the girl to submit by force.
The little girl burst into tears and begged for mercy, "Brother, please let me go. I don't want to eat your candy anymore. Please..."
"You little bitch, you dare to bite me? You're looking for death!" Hong Xiangyang slapped the little girl in the face and tore her clothes with a cold face.
"Xiangyang, what are you doing? Stop it!" At this time, Hong Xiangyang's mother came back.
Mrs. Hong dropped the grapes she had just bought and stepped forward to hold her son's evil hand.
Hong Xiangyang slapped his hand away and said, "Mind your own business, or I'll beat you to death!"
Mrs. Hong threw herself on the chair beside her and begged him with tears, "Don't be stupid, she's just a child, don't do this to her."
As he said this, he tried his best to hold Hong Xiangyang's evil hand and pushed the little girl off the table. "Go quickly, I'll let you call your Uncle Hong!"
The little girl was so frightened that she was stunned for a moment before she finally got up and ran out.
The mother and son wrestled with each other. Hong Xiangyang showed no mercy and punched and kicked his mother, "I'll let you ruin my good deeds, ruin my good deeds!"
Mrs. Hong was soon no match for her opponent and curled up on the ground, protecting her head and holding Hong Xiangyang's calf tightly to prevent him from leaving.
"Let go, or I'll kill you!" Hong Xiangyang said arrogantly.
"Go ahead and kill me. If you kill me, your father will definitely beat you to death when he comes back. We will go to hell together!" Mrs. Hong shouted in despair.
The girl ran out of her house in disheveled clothes, and all the neighbors knew about it.
"If you do this, you will ruin your child and your reputation." Mrs. Hong cried in pain.
"If you hadn't stopped me, what happened today wouldn't have been exposed!" Hong Xiangyang kicked Mrs. Hong on the back again.
Just when Mrs. Hong felt that she could no longer hold on and could not stop her son from committing a sin, Hong An hurried back.
Then, Hong An beat Hong Xiangyang up and tied him up.
At first, Hong Xiangyang refused to change his ways and did not think he had done anything wrong. Later, Hong Xiangyang cried and admitted his mistakes and begged for mercy, but Hong An did not dare to untie him.
The day after the incident, Hong An wanted to ask Shen Qingwu for help, but Shen Qingwu was under house arrest by the emperor, so he delayed it.
Finally waited for it yesterday.
But in the short half hour that he was out, Hong Xiangyang started to act up again.
After being restrained for so many days, Mrs. Hong, as a mother, has forgotten the pain of that day and is left with only heartache for her son.
So after Hong An left, Hong Xiangyang cried and begged his mother to untie him. Mrs. Hong could not bear her son's crying and begged, so she softened her heart and agreed.
