Wang Yunlong's work in the Lihua Printing Factory is still very comfortable, he sits in the gatehouse for a day, and has almost nothing to do. Lao Zhao was afraid that he would be lonely, so he put a radio in the concierge. Wang Yunlong listened to the radio and hummed Peking Opera when he had nothing to do, he knew in his heart that Lao Zhao was going to raise him, and he was happy to do it.

At the end of the first month, Wang Yunlong received his salary in the factory, and when he went home, he happily handed over the salary to his wife and said, "Boss Zhao is really good!" My job was easy, but he paid me more than the other workers. You put the money well, save some money, our children should start school after the summer vacation, and then we have to pay their tuition! ”

"Got it, I don't need to say it!" Zheng Meiqin took out a bottle of liquor and said, "Old thing, I know that you are going to receive a salary today, so I am happy in my heart, so I bought a bottle of wine, and we will celebrate with the two of us." ”

Wang Yunlong took the wine bottle and poured a full glass for his wife first, saying, "Don't make excuses for drinking with me, I know that you are addicted to alcohol and have come up again!" ”

The eldest son who was sitting next to him for dinner was named Wang Hongzu, and he begged Wang Yunlong and said, "Dad, you have spent money, buy me a pair of sneakers." ”

"What sneakers do you have nothing to buy?" Wang Yunlong likes to ignore him and doesn't look at him.

Wang Hongzu raised his foot and said, "Dad, look! My shoes are open! The kids on the street laughed at me and said I was a poor boy! ”

Zheng Meiqin reprimanded her eldest son and said: "If you have nothing to do, go to the alley with a bunch of wild children to play football, these shoes won't break fast!" ”

"You'll have to buy me new shoes anyway, they're too bad to wear." Wang Hongzu muttered quietly.

Wang Yunlong slapped the table and glared: "You mumble again, I'll slap your mouth!" ”

"When my uncle gave you money last time, he said that you would buy us clothes, why don't you buy them for us!"

"If you dare to pout, I'll beat you a rabbit cub!" As soon as Wang Hongzu finished speaking, he was slapped by Wang Yunlong! He burst into tears, and so did his frightened two sisters.

Zheng Meiqin was unhappy when she saw her husband beating her son, she hugged her eldest son and accused Wang Yunlong: "If you can't bear it, you will be angry with the child, this child is about to make you stupid!" ”

"You know that if you buy less clothes to wear, don't you have all the money for shoes, school fees, and school fees! You're a spend-wasting! ”

"Wang Yunlong! You haven't had a good life since I married you, what's wrong with me wearing a little bit of it? What do you see Shuzhen and Gui Fang wearing? I'm a woman, and I need to dress up nicely! I'm dressed shabby, and you don't have a face! Besides, the eldest brother's family has money, let Hongzu ask his uncle for money to buy shoes! ”

"Wife, do you have a brain? It's not appropriate to ask my brother for money all the time! ”

"What's inappropriate, the money to buy a pair of shoes is a drop in the bucket for their family. If you can't find Shuzhen and Hongxing again, don't they buy it for the little brother because they are the eldest sister and the eldest brother? ”

"Asking people for money, are they motherless children? Is there a like you? Shameless! ”

"And talk about me! You're a good dad? Stinky virtue! ”

Wang Yunlong and his family didn't finish drinking and made a loud noise, and several children watched stupidly on the side.

The next morning, a few more children came to Wang Hongzu to play football, and Wang Hongzu's shoes were broken, so he took out a pair of old leather shoes from his father and put them on. The leather shoes are heavy and big, and it is inconvenient to kick the ball, sometimes the shoes fly out with the ball when the ball is kicked too hard, and the friends make fun of him from time to time in the process of kicking the ball. Wang Hongzu's self-esteem is very strong, he was ridiculed and cried by his friends, and he was depressed for a long time when he got home.

After lunch, Zheng Meiqin took her two daughters to take a nap, Wang Hongzu couldn't sleep, and he was sulking at his parents for not buying sneakers for him! He remembered that his mother had said that he wanted to buy shoes and ask his uncle for money, and when he thought of this, Wang Hongzu got up from the bed and walked out of the house.

Since the West Cross Courtyard became a factory, the passage leading to the back garden of Wang Yunqing's house has been installed with a large iron fence gate, and the gate is usually locked. Wang Hongzu climbed over the fence and entered the Wang family compound.

Wang Hongzu's shoes are really bad and can't be worn, since his parents don't want to care, he has to go to his aunt to ask for money to buy shoes, in his eyes, only the aunt of the Wang family is a charitable and amiable person, and the rest of the people are cold-faced, and they are furious when they see them.

It was a few volts of weather, and it was so hot that there was not a single wind. Usually there are few people in the courtyard of the Wang's house quietly, only the Zhizhi on the tree keeps screaming. Wang Hongzu walked to the door of the aunt's house in the front yard, he nudged the door and didn't push it open, it turned out that the door was plugged in from the inside, he knew that the aunt was taking a nap, so he wanted to wait for the aunt to wake up. Wang Hongzu returned to the back garden and climbed to the rockery to play alone, when he was playing, he suddenly saw a colorful butterfly flying on the grass, he ran over to catch, the butterfly flew high and low and it was difficult to be pounced, Wang Hongzu was reluctant to chase. The butterfly flew around and landed on the window frame of Wang Yunqing's study, Wang Hongzu tiptoed over and pounced with his hand, the butterfly did not flutter, but he pushed the window of the study open. It turned out that the window was hidden and there was no latch inside. Wang Hongzu poked his head into the room, he saw a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the house, and there were colorful bottles and cans on the table and cabinets. Wang Hongzu saw that there was no one around, so he climbed into the study through the window. Wang Hongzu was fascinated by many novelties in the house, and he felt new and interesting when he saw anything, especially a crystal clear jade unicorn on the bookshelf, which he particularly liked, and he picked it up and put it in his pocket. He saw a leather bag hanging from the clothes rack in the corner of the house, and he wanted to see what was in it, and when he opened the bag, he was glad to see that there was money in it, and he took it out and put it in his pocket. Wang Hongzu took something and his heart was weak, and he wanted to jump out of the window and quickly slip away. At this moment, there were footsteps outside the room, Wang Hongzu knew that he couldn't get out, he was so panicked that he hurriedly hid under the table, and accidentally broke a flower pot on the table in a panic.

The person outside the house was Mrs. Wang, she woke up in the afternoon to go to the study in the backyard to get something, she just walked to the door of the study and saw the window of the study open, she felt bad in her heart, just about to push the door in and heard the sound of something hitting the ground in the house. Madame Wang knew that there was a thief in the house, so she didn't dare to go in, so she stood outside the door and shouted: "Catch the thief!" Come and catch the thief! ”

Gui Fang in the front yard also woke up for a nap, she was the first to run over when she heard the voice, and she didn't dare to enter the house, so she stood at the door of the study with her mother-in-law, shouting to catch the thief. Lao Zhao and Hongxing rushed into the house with a few workers with wooden sticks in their hands, as soon as they entered the house, they saw the flower pots broken on the ground, and then looked carefully and saw a butt exposed under the bookcase, a worker kicked the ass hard to the bottom, and there was a cry under the bookcase, Lao Zhao stepped forward and grabbed the hind legs and dragged the thief out.

Old Zhao Dingshen saw that this thief turned out to be Wang Yunlong's eldest son, and he angrily twisted Wang Hongzu's ears and walked out of the study. Mrs. Wang and Gui Fang were extremely surprised when they saw that this thief turned out to be Wang Yunlong's eldest son! Gui Fang had already accumulated a stomach of resentment against Wang Yunlong's family, and now she saw Wang Hongzu stealing things from her father-in-law's study, so she was not angry, and stepped forward to give Wang Hongzu a slap. Wang Hongzu's buttocks were kicked painfully, and he was slapped by Gui Fang again, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground and cried "wow".

Mrs. Wang said to him angrily: "Hongzu, no one is allowed to enter this house, why did you run into the study?" Say it! ”

Wang Hongzu wiped his tears and said, "I'm just curious and want to play in it!" ”

Mrs. Wang said, "Is there such a curiosity? You don't have any tutors! You will teach you a lesson from my family law again! ”

"I just love playing in it!" Wang Hongzu sat on the ground, kicked his legs and shouted loudly.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she trembled: "You hob meat!" I have to teach you a lesson today, so that you can remember it longer! ”

She said to Lao Zhao again: "Lao Zhao, a few of you press him to the ground and beat him with a board!" ”

As soon as Lao Zhao waved his hand, a few people came over and pressed Wang Hongzu to the ground and opened his pants. At this time, Wang Yunlong and his wife also arrived, Zheng Meiqin saw that her child was pressed to the ground and was about to be spanked, so she hurriedly rushed over to protect the child with her body.

"What are you doing here? It's not embarrassing for so many adults to bully a child! Zheng Meiqin was anxious.

Wang Yunlong stepped forward and pushed everyone away and pulled his son up. He asked puzzledly, "Sister-in-law, why are you so angry?" What's going on? Can't get along with a small child? ”

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she couldn't speak, and Gui Fang took over and said, "Second uncle, let me ask you, how do you educate your children?" My father-in-law's study was originally locked, and your Hongzu secretly entered through the window during the day, isn't this a thief! ”

Wang Yunlong was anxious when he heard this, and he asked his son sternly: "Hongzu, what are you doing jumping into the uncle's study?" This is going to be known to the uncle! It's no wonder he doesn't tell someone to beat your ass! ”

"I'm just curious to go in and have a look!"

Gui Fang asked Wang Hongzu: "Hongzu, this house is full of uncle's treasures, tell my sister-in-law, do you have anything to take?" ”

"Didn't take it!" Wang Hongzu said with a stiff neck.

"Tell me the truth, did you take anything?" Wang Yunlong asked with a glaring eye.

"No, I didn't take anything! I just didn't take it! Wang Hongzu said stubbornly.

Zheng Meiqin pulled her throat and said to Wang Yunlong: "Look at you! They bully our children, and you still help them talk! Is there anyone like you who is a father? After she finished speaking, she pulled Wang Hongzu and was about to leave.

"Second aunt, don't be in a hurry to leave!" Gui Fang stepped forward to stop the two of them and said, "Whether your baby son is a thief or not, we haven't seen yet, if he doesn't be a thief, we will also give him justice." ”

Gui Fang glanced at Wang Hongxing and said, "Hongxing, I think your brother's trouser pocket seems to be hiding something. ”

Wang Hongxing walked up to Hongzu and said in a pleasant voice: "Hongzu, let my brother see what you have in your pocket." ”

Wang Hongzu suddenly became nervous, he put his hand in his trouser pocket and said, "I don't have anything in my pocket, I don't allow you to see it!" As he was talking, he didn't expect Lao Zhao to come over and pull out his hand at once, Wang Hongzu's hand was pulled out with a wad of banknotes in his hand, and Lao Zhao took out a jade unicorn from his other trouser pocket.

Madame Wang was furious when she saw this: "Say! Did you steal this in your study? ”

Wang Hongzu lowered his head and didn't speak, Wang Hongxing said: "Brother, this jade unicorn is your uncle's treasure, why did it run into your pocket?" ”

Wang Hongzu couldn't deny it, so he had to whisper: "I'll take it when I look at it." ”

Wang Hongxing asked again: "Where did you get all this money?" ”

Wang Hongzu wanted to use the money in his hand to buy sneakers, he didn't want to tell the truth, so he made up nonsense and said that his mother gave it.

Gui Fang sneered beside her: "You're not telling the truth, can your mother have so much money for you?" ”

At this time, Zheng Meiqin hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the money from her son's hand and said: "Hongxing, the money in Hongzu's hand was just given to him today, you see, the front of Hongzu's shoes are open, can this still be worn!" I gave him money to buy a new pair of shoes to wear, and he didn't steal it! She turned to Gui Fang again and said, "Besides, how do you know that I don't have a lot of money?" Do I have more money to tell you? ”

When Wang Hongzu saw that his mother had relieved him, he said confidently: "This money was given to me by my mother, can you ask!" ”

Gui Fang knew that what their mother and son were telling were lies, so she asked, "Second aunt, how much money do you give Hongzu to buy shoes?" ”

"What's the matter? Lady, do you care how much money I give my child to buy shoes? Zheng Meiqin played tricks.

"If you pay for your child's shoes, you should know how much money you have. Tell me the numbers! ”

Zheng Meiqin put a wad of money in her hand into her pocket and said, "Lady, I'm not happy today, I don't want to tell you!" Gui Fang, I warn you, if you dare to bully my children in the future, I will not be done with you! After she finished speaking, she pulled Wang Hongzu away.

Gui Fang snorted and scolded: "Shameless old lady! ”

Wang Yunlong saw that his wife had taken the child away, so he was busy compensating his sister-in-law. Mrs. Wang said helplessly to her brother-in-law: "You have such a rude wife, can you live a good life?" ”

At this time, Zheng Meiqin pulled her son back to the house, took out a few banknotes and handed them to her son and said, "Take it, go out to buy a pair of shoes later, buy good ones, lest other children look down on you!" The rest of the money will be spent slowly by my mother. ”

Wang Hongzu begged: "Mom, take the money to buy us some candy to eat." ”

"Okay, you made money for your mother today, and your mother rewarded you for eating candy!"

"Good! I have candy to eat today! Wang Hongzu and his two younger sisters were very happy!

It turns out that Zheng Meiqin is not only greedy, but she also transmits her greedy behavior to her children, if the children steal some other people's good things from the outside and go home, she always happily puts them away, "If you have a bargain, you are a bastard" is her mantra. This lays the foundation for the child's future growth.

Since Wang Hongzu stole things, Wang Yunqing was very angry, he scolded his younger brother severely, and asked someone to brick the door between the back garden and the west courtyard, and then open the door after the printing factory moved out. Since then, the two brothers have basically no contact.

Wang Yunqing's original intention was to help his brother, but he didn't expect to help people get into trouble, and his kindness became a donkey's liver and lungs. Not to mention the contradictions between the adults, even Wang Yunlong's children had a knots in their hearts about the people of the uncle's family.
