Chapter 228: Punishment

"No need to look for it." At this moment, the seventh grandmother was helped in by Brother You on crutches, with a serious face.

"Seventh Grandma, do you know where Brother Run'er is?" Zhenniang hurriedly stepped forward to help her seventh grandmother, and the six-catty sister-in-law on the side also moved a chair over and asked Mrs. Li to sit down.

"I'm locked in the inkhouse." Old Madam Li sat down, but said with a frosty face.

Mrs. Li's words surprised everyone. Zhen Niang saw that her Aunt Jinhua wanted to speak and stopped, so she asked first: "Seventh Grandma, why did you lock Brother Run'er in the ink library?" ”

"He stole the key to my inkhouse today while I was napping, and opened the door himself, so I locked him inside." Old Madam Li's face was not very happy, but her eyes glanced at Li Jinhua coldly.

Zhen Niang knew that although the Seventh Grandmother gave her the key to the ink vault, she also had a spare set on her. And the matter of the seventh grandmother giving herself the key is unknown to others.

In other words, Brother Run'er's behavior is obviously the idea of playing Moku, of course, he is a ten-year-old boy obviously does not have such scheming, and his behavior must be masterminded by someone behind.

At this time, Li Zhenniang came back to her senses first, before, she was still thinking about what Wang Decai approached Brother Run'er for, it turned out to be for the Li family's ink library, and eighty percent of it was for the Li family's Li ink recipe stored in the ink library.

"Old lady, I have no idea of hitting the inkhouse." When Li Jinhua heard Mrs. Li's words, her face turned white, in the Li family, the idea of hitting the ink library was a big deal.

"I know you didn't hit, I'm asking you to talk about it. What's going on? Brother Run's behavior. You didn't notice it before you became a mother? Old Madam Li sat upright, staring at Li Jinhua's face was still cold, she naturally understood that Li Jinhua was not such a person, but there was definitely someone behind Brother Run.

At this time, Li Jinhua didn't hide it, and told Brother Run'er about the trouble he made with everyone because of Wang Decai's wealth during this time.

"So Wang Decai is doing it?" Old Madam Li said coldly with a cold look in her eyes.

"That's how it should be." Li Zhenniang also said on the side.

"How do you teach a child, ten years old. He also understands some things, and you don't have to be too scrupulous about him, you have to explain what you should say. Old Madam Li taught the way. The Li family can't leave such a loophole for people to exploit.

"Yes, old lady, I was wrong, I will definitely teach Brother Run'er well in the future." Li Jinhua hurriedly assured, in fact, this time, without Mrs. Li's instructions, she must also explain what she should say to Brother Run, not twice. In short, when it comes to this Brother Run, Brother Run'er has made this disaster too big this time. She was horrified. The idea of hitting the ink library, if this is left until the old lady is young, it will be light to expel the Li family.

"Okay, just remember, this kind of thing must not happen in the future, so be it for this time." Old Madam Li nodded, and then said: "As for Brother Run, although he is young, he is also ten years old, and he understands a little bit, today one night, let him stay in the ink library, no matter what, a mistake is a mistake, let him understand the consequences of being wrong, lock up for one night, and he will not die of hunger and two meals." As Mrs. Li spoke, she got up and was helped back by Brother You.

Obviously, I don't plan to let Brother Run'er come out tonight.

Li Zhenniang and Li Jinhua sent Mrs. Li out together.

Seeing the old lady go away, Li Jinhua wiped her tears there, Brother Run'er is so young, locked up in the ink library for a night, it is definitely not good, but the authority of the old lady, Li Jinhua does not dare to challenge, not to mention this time, Brother Run'er is too wrong.

Thinking of this, Li Jinhua wiped her tears again: "Wang Decai, damn it, I'll fight with him." Li Jinhua said, the expression on her face was rare perseverance, and she was ready to go to Wang Decai to settle accounts.

"Auntie, it's late today, you go tomorrow, don't go to Wang Decai's house, go directly to Tian's Moxuan on Sibao Street, and make this matter bigger, at that time, Wang Decai has some scruples, so he doesn't dare to fight Brother Run'er's idea anymore." Li Zhenniang said.

Brother Run'er's matter is not Wang Decai's business alone, he also has a share of Chunzhi, and it is more likely that it will also involve the Japanese people, Zhen Niang thought that when she left Nanjing that day, she saw the relationship between the Tian family and the Japanese people, in short, this matter has to be prevented, it is good to make a big fuss, this kind of idea of beating people is a big taboo in the ink industry, and if it is big, Chunzhi and Wang Decai will be a little bit of a mouse.

Hearing Zhenniang's explanation, Li Jinhua nodded heavily. Then sat on the stone steps, burying her whole face in the palm of her hand, Zhen Niang knew that Aunt Jinhua was worried about Brother Run.

Zhenniang saw that it was already dark, and then thought that Brother Run'er had been locked up since the afternoon, alone in it, a ten-year-old child, if he stayed alone in it for another night, maybe there would be any psychological problems, after thinking about it, she said to Aunt Jinhua: "Auntie, you go and get some food that Brother Run'er likes, and I will bring it in to accompany him in a while." ”

No one else is allowed to enter the ink library, but now except for Mrs. Li, Zhenniang can enter and exit freely.

"This ...... No, the old lady ......" Li Jinhua shook her head, she couldn't let Brother Run'er affect Zhenniang in this matter.

"It's okay, I can go in and out of the ink library, besides, the old lady just said that Brother Guan Run'er would be one night, and she didn't say that she wouldn't let people go in to accompany him." Zhen Niang said.

"Ah...... Good...... That's a good ......" Hearing Li Zhenniang's words, Li Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, so she hurriedly went back to the sixth room to get some food, and sent it in a food box.

Zhen Niang then greeted her grandmother and mother, and then went to the Qifang Ink Library with the food box. Li Jinhua also followed.

"Aunt Jinhua, you can't enter the ink store, so let's go back to the house and have a good rest." Zhen Niang said.

"Don't rest, you accompany Brother Run'er inside, I accompany you outside, the son doesn't teach, the father's fault, this child has no father, that's my mother's fault, therefore, he is punished, and I can't avoid it either." Li Jinhua said.

Zhen Niang saw that she was resolute, so she didn't persuade her, in fact, it's okay, let Brother Run watch Li Jinhua suffer with her, at least she can better understand the consequences of what he will do, and she will be a little scruple about such a thing in the future.

So the two of them arrived at the Buddha Hall, Mrs. Li was still meditating in the Buddha Hall, Zhen Niang smiled and greeted the Seventh Grandmother, then opened the door of the ink store, and went in with the food box.

Old Madam Li seemed to have not seen it, and obviously acquiesced to Zhenniang's behavior.

And Li Jinhua knelt beside Mrs. Li and sat quietly with Mrs. Li.

Li Zhenniang entered the inkhouse, it was dark inside, Zhenniang lit the lampstand on the side, and looked in the inkhouse for a while, only to see Brother Run'er huddled in the corner alone, and the whole person trembled.

Looking at the situation, those who seemed to be asleep were a little confused.

"Brother Run, Brother Run......" Zhenniang sat down in front of Brother Run'er and shook him.

Brother Run'er raised his head at this time, and when he saw Zhenniang, he cried loudly, since he was locked up in the afternoon today, Brother Run'er's psychology has collapsed. When I saw Zhenniang at this time, where did I remember the bad things about Zhenniang that Wang Decai arranged in front of him, I only felt that this lobby sister was closer than ever. He began to cry profusely.

Zhenniang watched him cry, and her heart was relieved, but fortunately, it was a good thing to be able to cry.

"Come, this is the dinner your mother made for you, eat first." Zhen Niang opened the food box, and as soon as Brother Run'er smelled the fragrance, his eyes lit up, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger at the moment, so he picked up the rice bowl and ate it. After a while, the bowl of rice was eaten up, and the little guy was full of burps and his spirit recovered.

"Cousin, why don't we go out?" At this time, Brother Run'er asked, with tears still hanging on his eyelashes.

"You're going to have to spend the night here today, do you understand?" Zhenniang looked at Brother Run'er and said seriously, she decided to take advantage of the evening to talk to the kid.

Hearing Li Zhenniang say this, Brother Run'er's face turned pale, and he said after a while: "I did something bad, and Seventh Grandmother is going to lock me up here and punish me." ”

He didn't know anything either, when he entered the ink library and heard the sound of locks outside, he naturally understood that the Seventh Grandmother had locked him inside.

"Since you know it's a bad thing, weishenme still has to do it?" Zhenniang continued to ask.

Brother Run'er lowered his head, raised his head for a while, and said with red eyes: "Everyone else has a father, but I don't, I want my father to come back, my father said, as long as I get the Li family's ink formula, he will make good ink, and if he has the ability, the old lady will let him come back." ”

"It's impossible for your father to go back to the Li family, whether he has the ability or not, it has nothing to do with the Li family, because your father has failed your mother, not to mention these, in addition, have you ever thought about your mother when you do things, you take the ink square, your mother will have to bear everything, how will you let your mother gain a foothold in the Li family in the future?" Zhen Niang asked with a frown, and then the hand pointed to the door again: "You know what? Your mother is kneeling outside the door now, and she has suffered with you. ”

"I ...... It's my fault, it's none of my mother's business......" Brother Run'er's face was gloomy at this time, and he was a little at a loss.

"But you're still a child, and you don't understand, your mother will naturally bear your fault." Zhen Niang said.

"I ......" Brother Run'er didn't know what to say, but he regretted it in his heart.

"Brother Run, I know, it's right that you think of your father, but adult things are not so simple, you are still young, and there are some things you can't understand yet. Therefore, at this time, you don't want to get involved in the affairs of adults, what you have to do is to read books, learn etiquette, learn to be a person, and wait until you can understand the reason, and then decide what to do, understand? Zhen Niang said again at this time.

"Hmm." Brother Run'er raised his head to look at Zhenniang, and after a while, he nodded heavily.

In any case, today's lesson is a deep memory for him. Although he misses his father, over the years, his father has been relatively illusory to him after all. And this time, his behavior made his mother suffer with him, and at this time, his father naturally had to put it aside.
