Chapter 283 Hitting someone is wrong, but stealing is right?
Aunt Li sighed, thinking to herself that this child really had a good eye, better than his father.
It was the first time I met Xiaoman's aunt! I knew that I had to ask her to have any chance of getting anything done.
Then she realized that she was indeed somewhat incompetent as an aunt.
After so many years of keeping to myself, this is the first time I've felt a little upset.
Aunt Li reached out to help the child.
Lin Chang'er raised her hand to stop him, "Let me say a few words to him first!"
Aunt Li paused, then nodded.
Lin Chang'er looked at Li Chuan, "What's your name?"
Li Chuan said, "My name is Li Chuan, and I am four years old!"
Lin Chang'er glanced at the unconscious Li Chuan's mother, "Do you know your mother's name?"
Li Chuan nodded, "My mother's surname is Wang, which is composed of three horizontal strokes and one vertical stroke. Her given name is Xing'er, which is the surname of Xinghua (apricot blossom).
Lin Chang'er's eyes darted around. This child, has he been to school? Could it be that Li Mian from next door taught him?
"Have you been to school?"
Li Chuan: "My mother is literate, and my father, Qingyang, also taught me some characters."
Lin Chang'er couldn't help but glance at Li Chuan's mother again. She couldn't believe that her mother was literate. She felt even more that it was like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung to be paired with Li Da.
Lin Chang'er thought for a moment and continued, "You said you wanted me to take you and your mother away. Do you know how I can take you away?"
Li Chuan was taken aback, clearly unaware of the situation.
Lin Chang'er wasn't in a hurry, and asked again, "If I take you away, you'll be the only male in the family. Can you support your mother?"
Li Chuan was startled again and turned to look at Li Qingyang, who nodded at him.
Li Chuan said, "I heard from Brother Qingyang that children over seven years old can help their aunts with chores. I am four years old this year, and I can also do chores. I don't want wages, I just ask my third aunt to give us a bowl of rice to eat."
“Once my mother recovers, she will be able to work. She will do the light work, and I will do the heavy work. We will be able to support ourselves.”
"When I'm older, I'll be able to support my mother."
Aunt Li had always wanted to live a peaceful life behind closed doors, but after hearing what this child said, she inexplicably felt sorry for him.
Li Cheng and Li Cun's two wives also had tears in their eyes.
Lin Chang'er also felt that although the little boy was naive, he was still quite ambitious.
He nodded. "Surrogate mother and divorce, do you dare?"
The scene was completely silent. Li Da's aunt, Li Qiulan, Li Da, and everyone else stared wide-eyed.
Is it too outrageous for a four-year-old boy to take his mother's place in a divorce?
Just then, the door was flung open with a bang, and Uncle Li stumbled in, pointing at Lin Chang'er and cursing, "Lin, don't go too far. They say it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage."
"How could you instigate a mere child to divorce his mother? You are utterly anti-human and shameless."
Lin Chang'er paused. How did this thing come back again?
He sneered, "Oh, Uncle, you went back and had another couple of drinks, and you're even more drunk now?"
He pretended to be surprised and looked at Aunt Li, whose face was full of frost. She gave a wink to the doorway.
Li Cheng and Li Cun rushed in and grabbed their father.
Li Cheng: "Father, it's a promise, we'll just watch and not say a word!"
Li Cun said, "Father, you just said outside that unless there is a divorce, it is absolutely impossible for Xiaoman's aunt to take Xiaochuan and Xiaochuan's mother away."
Li Cheng said, "That's right, Dad. With Xiao Chuan's mother in this state, who else but Xiao Chuan can take her place? Let's go, let's go."
Uncle Li struggled with his hands and feet, "Even if we get a divorce, Xiao Chuan will still be surnamed Li. I don't agree to Wang Xing'er taking him away."
Lin Chang'er was annoyed and glared at him coldly, "If you won't let me take you away, are you going to leave me here for your nephew to beat to death?"
Chao Li Qingyang said, "Qingyang, come here and tell him what you saw in the dog hole."
Little Li Qingyang gave Li Chuan a look that said, "Don't be afraid, Brother Chuan," and said to Uncle Li with innocent fearlessness, "I saw Uncle Li hitting Brother Chuan's mother and Brother Chuan. Brother Chuan's mother was holding Brother Chuan in her arms to prevent him from being hit."
Lin Chang'er then looked at Li Chuan, "Xiao Chuan, tell your great-uncle why your nose, mouth, and ears are bleeding?"
Li Chuan said, "Father slapped me."
"It must be because you were being naughty!" Uncle Li tried to cover for Li Chuan.
"Xiaochuan, tell him why."
Li Chuan said, "Father told Grandma that while Qingyang's father was away, we would sneak into Qingyang's house at night. Mother told me to secretly go and tell Qingyang. When I came back, Father saw me! So Father beat me."
Uncle Li was dumbfounded, even though he knew that his eldest nephew was no good.
But he's still my nephew. For my own son to talk about such petty theft is incredibly embarrassing.
Uncle Li was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, Li Da seemed to have taken a super pill, as if his body no longer hurt. He pointed at Li Chuan and cursed, "Well, you traitor! I knew you sneaking off to the next door wouldn't be anything good."
"So it turns out you two conspired to hold me back."
"Divorce on behalf of your mother? Don't even think about it! Even if you two die, you'll rot in this house. I'm telling you, no one can change my mind... Ah, ah, Mother, Uncle, save me, save me! Lin Chang'er, you crazy woman, help me..."
Before she could finish her threat, Lin Chang'er had already taken off her shoes and rushed over, slapping Li Da's face repeatedly with her shoehorn.
"What are you? You're worse than an animal. Do you even deserve to be a husband and father?"
"You have the nerve to steal? Most of the things at Qingyang's house next door are things I left there. Stealing from them is stealing from me."
"Breaking into a house is punishable by death. Today I'll teach you a lesson in manners and shame."
Aunt Li's eyes widened, and she felt more and more that Xiaoman was truly a remarkable woman.
Everyone knows that what she gave to Li Mian's family was to express her gratitude for their care of San Niang over the years, and to help them out privately.
Outsiders may think this way, but it's just a feeling; there's no written agreement.
If it were about providing assistance, then even if the theft had actually occurred, it should be Li Mian's family who should step in.
But she said some of it was for storage, which changed things. She went from being an outsider to the victim, which made her perfectly legitimate. Even if her parents came, they wouldn't have anything to say!
Not to mention the eldest brother and sister-in-law?
The shoehorn struck his face with increasing crispness, and Li Da's face swelled up like a steamed bun. He quickly lost his initial arrogance and became meek, eventually only making groans.
Li Qiulan was heartbroken, but she was still tied up and could only ask her elder brother for help.
Uncle Li felt ashamed, but he couldn't just watch his eldest nephew get beaten up by a stranger in front of his mother until she couldn't even recognize him.
"Alright, alright, let's talk this out. What's with you resorting to violence?" Uncle Li reached out to stop him.
Aunt Li quickly winked at her two sons, "Eldest son, second son, pull your father away. Hitting people is wrong, but stealing is right? You can't even let the victim vent their anger."
"If we don't teach them a lesson now, are we really going to wait until Li Da succeeds in his theft so that the victim will report it to the authorities?"
