In the room, Yang Huamei and Tan said aggrievedly: "Mom, I know my father cares about me and does it for my own good, but Dabai is my son after all. He has been beaten, so how can I seriously treat him? ? You can’t give me a beating too, right?”
Mrs. Tan hugged Yang Huamei's shoulders and comforted her: "Dabai will be sensible when he grows up. Which child was naughty and didn't kick his mother when he was a child? I think your eldest brother was also very naughty when he was young. One time he hit me with a slingshot. My eyes hurt so much that I almost fainted."
"But I didn't do anything to him. I feel bad for the flesh that fell off my body."
"As for your father, you don't have to take it personally. He just has a bad temper. After all, this man has never experienced a ten-month pregnancy and doesn't understand the pain of a woman like me. Naturally, he doesn't have the same affection for the child as a mother. It’s so deep, don’t think too much, wash your face and go back quickly, the whole family is waiting for you to go back and have lunch!”
…
At Yang Huazhong's house at the entrance of the village, halfway through lunch, Old Yang suddenly came in with a dark face.
Yang Huazhong and Daan quickly stood up and gave up their seats. Old Yang sat down without refusing.
Mrs. Sun quickly went to the backyard kitchen to get a pair of bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Old Yangtou.
Yang Huazhong picked up the wine jar: "Dad, how many sips will you take?"
Old Yangtou glanced at the wine in Yang Huazhong's hand, and then at the sumptuous dishes on the table in front of him, and was moved.
"Okay, let's take a few bites," the old man said.
After two or three glasses of wine, Old Yang sighed, looked at Da'an on the table and said: "All the grandchildren of our Old Yang family are good, even if the young boy is worse and has no ability. , but at least he is not bad to his mother, Jin, and will not get beaten or scolded."
"Lao Wang's family is no good. The upper beams are not straight and the lower beams are crooked. The poor seedlings just won't produce good melons!"
After scolding him for a while, Lao Yangtou grabbed the wine cup in front of him, raised his head and drank the wine in it.
"Dad, are you holding something on your mind?" Yang Huazhong couldn't help but ask.
Old Yang shook his head and reached out to grab the wine bottle, but was held down by Yang Huazhong.
"Dad, you haven't even taken a bite of the food. You've been drinking since you sat down. It's hurting your health. If you feel uncomfortable about anything, don't worry about it. It'll make you feel better if you talk about it." The man advised again. .
Old Yang raised his scarlet eyes and looked at Yang Huazhong, saying: "Meier went back to her parents' house crying earlier. It was Dabai who punched her. There is a big bruise on her temple."
"Ah?" Yang Huazhong's eyes widened in shock.
Sun and Daan, who were sitting at the same table, were also surprised.
Da'an said: "Did my two cousins go to Changhuaizhou to take the exam some time ago? How were their results?"
Old Yang shook his head: "None of them were hit. Your Aunt Meier said something to them about this matter, and she got punched by Dabai."
"How could this kid be like this? This is so uneducated!" Yang Huazhong was immediately annoyed.
Sun and Da'an also shook their heads, they were indeed uneducated.
Yang Huamei raised their brothers as their lives, they were more precious than their eyes.
The twelve-year-old boy is never willing to let them do even a little bit of housework.
In order to let the twins receive a better education, Lao Wang's family spent money to go to the town to establish connections, and finally put the twins into the town's academy.
I spent another sum of money to rent a house near the academy, and went to the town every now and then to visit them, wash them, and prepare delicious food for them.
As for pocket money for various living expenses, there is no shortage of money.
"This behavior cannot be condoned and must be taught a lesson!" Yang Huazhong continued.
Old Yangtou sighed, "Why don't I mean it this way? But your mother and Mei'er were protective of them, and they came up with a bunch of excuses for the child's ignorance. In the end, it seemed that I was the one who was causing the trouble, and they didn't give in. of."
"I feel bored too, so I just hid here with you. Let them do whatever they want!"
Hearing the old man's words, Yang Huazhong also frowned.
"In front of Da'an, I don't have to be shy about what I say. Raising children is like planting a tree. If you don't take care of the saplings carefully and straighten the branches that are about to grow crooked, In the future, when the small tree grows into a big tree, don't expect it to be straightened, it will only become more and more crooked!" Yang Huazhong said.
Da'an nodded in agreement, "I am also a father now. Naturally, I love Feng'er, but no matter how much love I have, there must be a limit. When it comes time to teach strictly, I will not be careless at all!"
"Cousin Dabai's behavior is really outrageous. However, considering that he is only twelve years old, and since my Aunt Meier also plans to forgive him, let's give him a chance and stop pursuing him! "
Sun said: "Da'an is right, look at Dabai's behavior later."
Lao Yang nodded, "That's the only way it can be. The grandson is the grandson of Lao Wang's family. It's hard for our Lao Yang family to say anything, not to mention that Mei'er is always looking towards that child."
Yang Huazhong still frowned and said: "If it happens again, I will handle this matter as the leader of Changping Village. Our village will never allow such unfilial people to appear. Even if I get a meritorious degree in the future, I will not even be able to do it myself." Even his biological mother was beaten. This person’s character is broken from the very core. How can we expect him to be a good official who will benefit the people in the future? We definitely don’t allow it!”
…
As if to verify Yang Huazhong's words, less than two days later, on the afternoon before Xiaoduo's wedding, Yang Huamei ran back to the old Yang family's house in tears to find Mrs. Tan.
At that time, all the female relatives of the old Yang family gathered at Yang Huazhong's house at the entrance of the village.
According to the custom here, Xiaoduo will get married tomorrow, and early tomorrow morning, the wedding team from the Xiang family will come.
Then relatives and friends from Yang Huazhong's family would also rush over in the morning to give gifts, add makeup, and have the morning banquet.
After the morning banquet, the young and old men in Lao Yang's family will serve as 'brother-office-offers' in the morning, carrying the dowry and escorting the bride to the groom's house.
Therefore, in the afternoon a day earlier, the female relatives of the family would come over to help serve the dishes at the banquet.
The men also had no time to spare. Yang Huazhong took the men there to count the dowry for the last time, then packed the dowry and pasted it with a bright red word "happy" on it.
Red eggs and jujube peanuts are stuffed into a brand new bedding made of red silk and green satin, embroidered with parallel lotus flowers and mandarin ducks playing in the water, which symbolizes good luck.
At this time, Mrs. Tan sent someone to send a message to Yang Huazhong's house, asking old Yangtou and Yang Huazhong to go to the old house quickly, saying that Yang Huamei had been beaten by Dabai again, and asked them to hurry over and seek justice!
"Why did you get beaten again? How many days have passed?" Lao Yangtou grabbed Yang Yongqing who came to deliver the message and asked.
Yang Yongqing was confused, "Master, I didn't beat my aunt, it was Dabai who beat me. But I don't know anything. My grandma asked you and your third uncle to go over there quickly, saying that Aunt Mei'er was crying for help." Seeking death and survival!"
