Chapter 18: Getting Rid of Bullying

Mei Zhifang was very surprised when she heard the man say that Lu Xiaobai almost drowned, she severely lectured her son and Lu Xiaobai, and asked them to promise that they would not be allowed to swim in the river in the future.

Feng Tianyu and Lu Xiaobai both raised their hands tremblingly, promising that there would be no next time.

It was the first time that Mei Zhifang had taught Feng Tianyu such a loud lesson, obviously she was very angry!

In fact, Mei Zhifang had also warned his son not to go down to the river to play in the water, Feng Tianyu agreed on the surface, but in the summer, he was familiar with water since he was a child, but he made an appointment with his friends to play in the river behind his back, because there had never been a drowning accident around him, so he thought that drowning would never happen to him and his companions. However, Lu Xiaobai's drowning incident sounded the alarm for him, and he decided not to swim in the river again.

Mei Zhifang did not object to Lu Xiaobai and Feng Tianyu's relationship, but she objected to him not studying well and often came to Feng Tianyu, she was worried that there would be an accident risk for two children who were not very sensible to play together, so she decided to send Lu Xiaobai back in person, she wanted to understand what his family situation was and why parents neglected to discipline their children.

When she sent Lu Xiaobai home, Lu Xiaobai's uncle and aunt were there, and she told them about Lu Xiaobai's almost drowning death today, and his uncle and aunt were very surprised. Yang Zhifang, who was very angry, also scolded Lu Xiaobai in foul language, and grabbed a feather duster to beat Lu Xiaobai, but was stopped by Wu Hao's words.

Yang Zhifang's shrewd image is completely displayed in front of Mei Zhifang's eyes, Mei Zhifang knows that Lu Xiaobai lives in such a family environment, which is very bad for his growth, no wonder he said that his aunt is very bad to him.

Lu Xiaobai, who was insulted, opened the door and ran out.

Yang Zhifang said to Mei Zhifang confidently: "If a child does something wrong, he should be beaten and scolded, otherwise he will not have a long memory!" ”

Mei Zhifang disagreed: "Of course you have to educate the child when he does something wrong, but I'm afraid it's not good to beat and scold!" In fact, we all know that fun is the innate nature of children, as a young child, he is full of curiosity about some things around him, so it is inevitable to touch it, but the child's psychological tolerance is limited, when he does something wrong, we can't blindly blame him, beat and scold him, which will hurt the child! We should take a moderate approach."

"I also want to tell him well, but this kid is not obedient at all, what can I do?" Yang Zhifang didn't feel ashamed at all, she also told Mei Zhifang about Lu Xiaobai's family changes, as if trying to prove that his family changes were the main reason for his 'disobedience', "His mother's style is not decent, playing extramarital affairs, but the scandal was discovered by her husband, her husband killed the man, and her husband was reported by a fellow worker in the same village on the construction site a few days ago, and was arrested by the police."

"Enough! Why are you saying this to an outsider?! Wu Hao said sharply.

"Am I wrong? I'm telling the truth! Yang Zhifang's excited expression instantly became frustrated.

"You can't just say the truth!" Wu Hao was so angry that he blew straight.

Mei Zhifang was surprised, she didn't expect such a bad thing to happen to Lu Xiaobai's family, no wonder she found that Lu Xiaobai's words and deeds were a little weird, it turned out that it had something to do with his family changes! For a child who has been traumatized, only by giving him more warmth and care can he gradually get out of the shadow of inferiority and pain; If a child does something wrong and complains about him, beats and scolds him, or even discriminates against him, it will inevitably make his fragile heart worse, which is extremely detrimental to the child's growth!

Therefore, Mei Zhifang, in line with her concern and love for her son's friends, decided to teach Yang Zhifang and his wife a lesson with Feng Tianyu's actual case of "turning decay into magic", so that they could know more ways to educate their children. So she said: "As the parents or guardians of children, we should help children establish a sound education channel, so that children's mental and physical growth can be healthy!" I have an adopted son who was selfish, withdrawn and ignorant before I adopted him"

When Mei Zhifang talked about how she and her husband successfully cultivated and educated the "incorrigible" Feng Tianyu into a child with excellent character and learning, Wu Hao sincerely admired her husband and wife: "You couple really have a set of Yang Zhifang, you should know how to educate children, right?" I don't ask you to be as knowledgeable and literate as Teacher Mei, but I hope you don't beat and scold children at every turn! ”

Yang Zhifang lowered her head in shame and didn't say a word.

In the evening, Wu Hao also heard Lu Xiaobai say that Wu Hongyan instructed her classmates to insult his mother as a vixen, Wu Hao was very angry, called his daughter to reprimand, and asked her to apologize to Lu Xiaobai. Wu Hongyan was very afraid of his father, so he obediently told Lu Xiaobai that he was wrong, and he would not let anyone laugh at him next time.

Wu Hao said to Lu Xiaobai, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, you can tell me, and I will trouble him.

Although Lu Xiaobai hated his uncle, he nodded when he saw that he was protecting himself. The heart said: Don't think I'm going to thank you, if it weren't for the fact that you were "good" to my mother, your daughter wouldn't have made people laugh at me, so you are more hateful than your daughter!

――――――――

Lu Xiaobai, a child who was struggling in suffering, with the help of all forces, he finally got rid of the bullying of others and returned to school normally.

However, the discrimination, humiliation and bad luck he had suffered were deeply seared in his heart like a brand, leaving traces that can never be erased. As a result, he became more and more reticent and depressed, reluctant to communicate with his classmates at school, and rarely spoke to his uncle, aunt and cousin when he returned home.

He still often appears in a trance in class, not paying attention to the teacher's lectures, so his academic performance is getting worse and worse, the teacher has talked to him several times in private, hoping that he will get rid of his bad habit of being absent-minded, listen attentively, and strive to improve his academic performance. But those unpleasant memories were like a spell that controlled his young mind, and he couldn't get rid of the shackles.

He used to read for good ideals, but now he doesn't have that kind of thought, so he thinks it's the same whether he reads or not.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to avoid seeing his aunt during the day, he would have gone to school a long time ago. It is precisely because he is slack in his studies and does not want to make progress that his grades from elementary school to junior high school have always been poor, so that the exam score for graduating from junior high school is only the tenth from the bottom of the class. His uncle was worried that it would be difficult for him to find a job after he entered the society with a low education, so he asked someone to find a relationship to send him to a local ordinary secondary school, hoping that he would have a good career in the future and a good way out.

He happily went from his aunt's house to the dormitory arranged for him by the school, and he thought to himself that he would never have to send anyone to the fence again, and felt like a fish jumping out of a dreary tank and into the cool water. He secretly swore that he would never step into the threshold of his aunt's house again, and during the winter and summer vacations, if the school did not allow students to live in the dormitory, he would rent a house outside.

He still remembered the scene when his aunt "said goodbye" to him, she helped him carry the quilt downstairs, and said to him: "Xiaobai, you have to come back to visit your aunt often." He didn't reply to her, he took the quilt from her hand and turned and left silently, she scolded him angrily, and he turned a deaf ear.

How he spent the past few years at his aunt's house, only he knows the bitterness best. Although his aunt did not treat him as harshly as she did at first, and occasionally bought him a new dress during the New Year's holidays, he knew that his mother had sent him the money to buy him clothes.

During this time, his mother came back to see him twice, but each time she came and went. Every time she came back, she was reprimanded by Xiaobai's aunt for no reason, and when she was reprimanded, she swallowed her anger, and then accompanied her with a smile. The long years did not allow him to resolve his resentment towards his mother, so when he saw his aunt treating his mother arrogantly and unreasonably, he did not have any compassion for his mother; Because of his aunt's anger, he once asked his mother to take him away, but his mother always looked embarrassed and tactfully told him that he could not take him away, and she did not explain why he could not be taken away, which made him more conjectures. After his mother left, he asked his aunt what his mother was doing and why she didn't take him away, and she said angrily that his mother was selling meat, and she would definitely not let her son know, he thought it was strange, and it was not a shameful thing to sell meat, so why didn't he let himself know?

It wasn't until one time that Lu Xiaobai didn't know what her aunt meant by "selling meat". It was a quarrel between two male classmates in the class, and one of them mockingly said that the other's mother was "selling meat", which provoked even more anger among the mocked person, who pounced on each other like a lit dynamite bag and scuffled with the other. Lu Xiaobai couldn't understand why the two sides fought with the phrase "selling meat", he asked one of the classmates watching the excitement next to him, and this classmate quietly told him that the "selling meat" in the classmate's mouth meant that a woman sold her body for money. Lu Xiaobai recalled the disdainful look on her aunt when she said that his mother sold meat, and suddenly realized that her aunt was viciously abusing her mother. From then on, his dislike for his mother increased by another point.

But later, according to Wu Hao, his mother worked as a manager in a wood factory in Guangzhou, and he knew that his mother was doing a good job, so he felt a little better.
