Chapter 14: Apologies
"Second uncle, what do you think you should do as a son?" Mo Xiaotong shook off the second uncle's hand and asked.
The expression on the second uncle's face froze.
"The second uncle can't answer, can the second uncle tell me how to be a father?" Mo Xiaotong's face was gloomy, and his voice became excited, "I drink and abuse my wife and children every day, I am lazy and lazy, no matter whether the child lives or dies, is my father like this?"
The second uncle's face was very unbearable. Although Mo Xiaotong is talking about his father, there seems to be nothing wrong with him, the second uncle.
Seeing that the second uncle's face was blue and white, Mo Xiaotong stepped forward and said in a shouting voice: "Can a husband casually beat his wife and cause her to commit suicide by jumping into the sea? Can a father not care whether his children live or die, and even beat his own children? A man who is violent at home cannot be called a human being, he is a brute, he should be locked up and never let him out!"
The second uncle was annoyed and raised his palm high, but Mo Xiaotong's gaze nailed it in the air and did not fall.
"Second uncle, you said it, you are just my second uncle, you are not my father, so you are not even qualified to raise your hand!"
The second uncle was angry, and pointed his finger at Mo Xiaotong's nose: "You are a little child, what kind of mess do you have in your head? Who told you that a father can't beat a child, and that beating a child is a beast? Who told you that a husband can't beat his wife, and if he beats his wife, he is not a person? Let me tell you, they women just owe beating, and if they don't beat up the house and expose the tiles, they will be honest when they beat them! Let me tell you, it is natural for a father to beat a child, and your father will not care even if he kills you, because you were born by him!"
"Lord Yan doesn't care, the police will take care of it!Second uncle, if you want my dad to be released, go to the police yourself!" Mo Xiaotong said and left the second uncle in place, and walked away without looking back.
Teacher Shen said that a man can't beat a woman, a husband can't beat his wife, and a father can't beat his children!
Teacher Shen said that children are not accessories of parents, and wives are not the private property of husbands, everyone is an independent individual, everyone should be respected, husbands should respect their wives, and parents should respect their children!
Teacher Shen said that whether it is a husband or a parent, it is not right to beat someone, and they should be punished by law!
Teacher Shen's words are what the second uncle called "messy things", but it is these things that make the young man subvert his past cognition.
Even if that person was a father, he was not qualified to beat him. That man is a father, he should give him and his sister a home, he should feed and clothe him and his sister, and give him and his sister the right example, but that man gave him and his sister a fist and took away their mother! That man should be punished!
The dirt road was full of potholes, and the boy was one foot deep and one foot shallow, and every foot was very embarrassed, but there was a determined look on his face.

Taoli Experimental Primary School, Principal's Office.
Principal Wen Yuelang shouted "rare guest" while welcoming a middle-aged woman who was dressed plainly but well-dressed to the wooden sofa next to the coffee table and sat down.
On the coffee table, the water in the kettle quickly boiled, steaming white.
Wen Yuelang first used boiling water to warm the kettle, rinsed the spout and lid carefully, then rinsed the teacup, then drained, and then put the tea leaves into the teapot.
Tea is the best variety of Fujian white tea that has recently become very popular in the country: Baihao Yinzhen.
Flush the boiling water into the pot, the technique is quite skillful "Phoenix Three Nods", and the silver and white tea needles are poured with the tea fully turned, and the color of the tea soon has a faint golden yellow.
Tea is poured into the sea of tea, and from the sea of tea is poured into a glass teacup.
The clear glass teacup reflects the clear and crystalline golden tea liquid, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.
"Principal Baofeng, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't come to see me often, if you come to see me, nothing else, there must be a sip of tea. Wen Yuelang said, holding a cup of tea in both hands and handing it to Ru Baofeng.
Ru Baofeng took the tea and looked ashamed, "There is an unfilial girl at home who is dragging Principal Wen back, why am I embarrassed to come?"
Wen Yuelang knew that Ru Baofeng came to apologize for Su Xiang this time.
Ru Baofeng used to be the principal of a municipal school in Taoli City, and Wen Yuelang went from a front-line teacher to a school-level middle-level cadre to the principal, and he once served as an assistant principal to Ru Baofeng during his growth. The two were also revolutionary comrades-in-arms and good partners. Ru Baofeng is old, after retiring from the position of principal, although the salary relationship has not yet retired, the work is semi-retired, because of the death of her husband, the family has suffered a series of changes, Ru Baofeng, who has always been arrogant, has changed, from a resolute headmistress to a taciturn, and rarely walks around with colleagues. If it weren't for Su Xiang's big accident at school, she wouldn't have made this trip. The daughter willfully beat the principal, and as a mother, she had no way to teach her daughter, so she could only apologize with a shy old face.
Looking at the expression of apology and shame on Ru Baofeng's face, Wen Yuelang could only sigh in his heart: pity the hearts of parents in the world.
Before Ru Baofeng's words of apology were spoken, Wen Yuelang comforted her first: "Sister Baofeng, don't say that, children, when you grow up, you can't listen to your parents like when you were a child, as the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, Sister Baofeng, don't take it too seriously." ”
Ru Baofeng's eyes turned red all of a sudden, her daughter has been rebellious since she was a child, when have you heard her words?
"It's her dad who spoiled her, she ...... I'm sorry, Principal Wen. Ru Baofeng's voice was hoarse, with a crying tone.
"Sister Baofeng, just call me Yuelang. Su Yu is a child in my eyes, don't worry, I won't worry about her," no matter how angry she was before, Wen Yuelang softened when she saw Ru Baofeng's appearance of begging for perfection, but he still said, "I'm just worried about herself, she is doing the teaching business, but she doesn't love this business, and she is also bent on pursuing her singing dream, I am worried that she is eager for quick success, and sooner or later she will get into trouble and harm herself." ”
Ru Baofeng nodded, "I'll talk about her well, as long as Principal Wen isn't angry with her." ”
Wen Yuelang originally wanted to persuade Ru Baofeng not to talk about Su Xiang, otherwise the mother and daughter should quarrel again, think about it, forget it, Ru Baofeng has a smooth career in her life, but her husband and daughter are not worried, this is probably fate.
The two gossiped a few words and said goodbye.
As soon as Ru Baofeng came down from the administrative building where the principal's office was located, she saw Su Xiang standing on the playground waiting for her.
The daughter's puffed up look made Ru Baofeng sigh secretly in her heart, a fight is inevitable, but you can't quarrel at school.
"What are you going to do with Principal Wen today? Did you say something that embarrassed me? Do you think you are doing good for me? Do you think that as my mother, you can give away my self-esteem and face to others at will? Who do you think you are? You are an executioner who deprives me of my dreams!" Su Xiang was aggressive in the face of his mother.
A clear slap ended Su Xiang's roar, and Su Xiang covered his face and looked at Ru Baofeng in disbelief: "You hit me?"
Ru Baofeng's hands were clenched into fists on both sides of her body, if hitting her could solve the problem, she would rather beat her to death, but she was afraid that she would give birth to such a daughter, even if she died, it would be filthy and left in the air.
"Don't go back to my house again, I don't have a daughter like you. Ru Baofeng's voice was very low and low, but the sky suddenly fell into a haze.
