Chapter 3 Chen Xueru's Visit

Hou Kui left the Children's Palace and arrived at the side of Jingshan East Street, where he was thinking: should he walk a few steps to save a few cents to buy a popsicle, or should he just call a tricycle to go home?

These days there are fewer bus routes and fewer stops, so taking the bus home is quite a hassle.

Although his stepfather was unhappy with him, he could do nothing about it because his mother was the breadwinner. Although his mother didn't like him much, she never deducted his tuition, travel expenses and pocket money for interest classes.

His home is on Zhengyangmen Street, which was renamed Qianmen Street a few years ago. You have to go south along Beichizi Street, then cross the Jinshui River, pass the monument and museum in front of the big square, and you will reach Qianmen Street.

The whole journey is 4 kilometers, and the fare is 2 cents. No cheating for anyone.

Sometimes he would walk for a while and then call a tricycle, which could save him a few cents. Even if he didn't buy a popsicle, it was still good to save the money.

Then he heard two young men speaking obscene words, and in the end they even mentioned his mother by name. Even a kid in his teens couldn't stand the foul language.

He became furious, picked up a brick from the roadside, and quietly moved behind the two men.

The big guy's words became more and more obscene, and the short guy's supporting actor was also very hateful, so he couldn't bear it anymore and hit the short guy on the back of the head with a brick.

The little guy's body went limp and he fell to the ground.

He was so scared that he turned and ran away, throwing the murder weapon away.

He did not forget to turn his head to look at the big guy. Sometimes he wanted to call the small one, sometimes he wanted to chase him, sometimes he ran back and squatted down to fiddle with the small one, going back and forth in circles, until he ran out of Jingshan East Street, and the big guy never chased him.

He hid at the entrance of Nianzi Hutong, breathing heavily. He didn't have the courage to look back and just called a tricycle to go home.

His mother, who had never cared about him in the past, now cared especially about him.

After just a few words, I noticed that something was wrong with him.

Then Hou Kui had to tell the whole story, especially emphasizing that the two bad boys had said bad things about their mother, which were very unpleasant to hear, so he couldn't help it.

Chen Xueru was horrified. She didn't know her eldest son was so ferocious.

It would be fine if the person was fine, but if someone died, in broad daylight, on the edge of Jinzi City, how could he escape?
No matter how much she disliked her eldest son Hou Kui, she had to panic. In today's new era, the nature of this matter was too bad and the impact was too great.

There will definitely be a lot of witnesses at the gate of the Children's Palace!
Sure enough, she asked someone to find out.

I also found out that the other party's reputation was indeed not very good, so the eldest son's words did not seem to be false, but it was useless!
Chen Xueru was able to squeeze out her two older brothers and take charge of the family's silk shop. She is definitely a strong woman.

She glanced at her eldest son Hou Kui, who lowered his head to the ground and didn't dare to look at her at all.

She stroked her son's hair and glared at her husband who was barking helplessly beside her. Fan Jinyou immediately shut up and asked caringly:
"what should we do?"

Chen Xueru said firmly:

"Go—to—your—home—and—apologize!"

……

Wang Heping followed the third uncle to the gate of the courtyard. Although it was late, it could not hide Chen Xueru's beautiful temperament outside the gate.

Although Wang Heping had thought about the person countless times in his mind, this was the first time he faced her so closely. His face turned a little red, but it was late so it couldn't be seen.

Not every young boy can resist a mature woman.

The culprit, the little kid, lowered his head, played with the corner of his clothes, and said nothing.

The third uncle introduced with a heavy face:
"This is the second brother of the Wang family. He was the one who carried the third brother of the Wang family back home."

Then he sighed, shook his head, and went back home.

They are all from the same compound, and he can't turn his elbow away. What can he do?
Two fine-grain steamed buns were enough for him.

Not telling lies was his bottom line. Chen Xueru bowed slightly, sent the Third Master away, and said to Wang Heping calmly:
"Second brother of the Wang family, my Hou Kui did something wrong and told me everything. So I came here specially to see how the third brother of the Wang family is doing.

We will not shirk our responsibilities..."

Wang Heping was afraid that all the neighbors in the yard would gather together. This matter was ultimately disgraceful. Anyway, the third brother was fine. He quickly said in a deep voice:
"Well, let's take a look together first!"

Chen Xueru's level is much higher than Wang Laoer's.

This is a young man who is full of dirty talk and has the will but not the courage.

His eyes darted around, as if he wanted to touch every inch of her skin.

As a result, he looked at her for only two seconds before hastily looking away. He didn't even wait for her to finish her words and called her in to take a look. She had seen many young people like this.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: At least the third son of the Wang family is no longer a big problem.

Otherwise it wouldn’t be like this now, at least we should be in the hospital, right?
She held her son Hou Kui's hand, carried her bag, and followed the second son of the Wang family. They passed through the hanging flower gate, entered the front yard, and the east wing on the right was the Wang family's.

A peaceful-looking woman was standing under the porch, probably the victim's mother.

In the hall, someone had already popped his head out to come to the front yard to watch the fun.

Chen Xueru knew that the other party didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

It was wrong for her son to hit someone, but it was right for the other person to flirt with his mother? This is the new era!!

Nowadays, no matter how successful a person is, he still has to pay attention to his reputation among his neighbors.

As long as the other party's life is not in danger, if the matter becomes a big deal, the other party's reputation will suffer greater damage!
Chen Xueru felt more at ease.

As long as tonight passes, any subsequent consequences will have nothing to do with their family.

Tonight, she came to put an end to everything.

Miao Cui took two steps forward and said apologetically:

"Hey, big sister, what's the big deal? Why would you bother to come all the way here?
The child was ignorant and just threw a piece of watermelon rind on the ground.

It’s also our third child’s fault, because his eyes are on top of his head when he walks.

He deserves to be taught a lesson! "

Chen Xueru was all smiles. It seemed that the two brothers did not dare to tell the truth to their family. But since they said so themselves, she could not correct them forcibly. She had already noticed the bitter face of the second son of the Wang family next to them.

She suppressed her inner smile and said:

"Sister, I can tell at first glance that you are an expert in educating children and you know what's going on.

But right is right and wrong is wrong. This is how I have always educated my children.

Can I see the third brother of the Wang family first?"

Miao Cui was also being polite. Her son fell like that. According to the eldest brother Wang Sheng, he could have died if he was not careful. How could she not be scared?
But at most it was the children who threw the watermelon rinds around, and my son was not careful when walking, so he should be held responsible for at least half of the blame.

What's more, the other person came to apologize in person, so she had to show some respect.

Chen Xueru held her son Hou Kui's hand and squeezed it twice. Hou Kui just lowered his head and said nothing unless his mother gave any instructions.

He heard everything the old lady said just now. He fell because he stepped on a watermelon peel!
Although Hou Kui was still a child, he dared to tell the truth to his family. But those two cowards didn't dare to tell the truth to their families even after being beaten!
Bah, so shameless!

Dare to act or not to act!
No better than a child!
