A striking serpent at its weak point (1)
umed by illness, and her eyes flickered faintly, like a white candle burning down to its very last wick."Let's go..." she sighed softly, a self-deprecating smile on her lips. She reached out, wiping a..."What's going on" Rong Ling asked Rong Hengduo.
Rong Hengduo remained silent.
"If you don't say, I'll go check. Dodo, you know what I'm capable of."
Rong Hengtuo's little face became tangled. And Rong Ling also saw his own woman's footsteps stop, it seemed like she was also interested in finding out what was going on.
"Think about it first, wait until your aunt changes her clothes and comes back before you speak again. Be good!"
Rong Lingyang raised his voice. "Go quickly!"
Urge her, order her!
Lin Meng's small mouth curled up, and she hurriedly went upstairs. After changing her clothes and coming down, she was hugged by Rong Ling in her arms and sat on the sofa.
"Go on then." The tone was one of absolute certainty that Rong Hengduo would come clean. It oozed with the air of a king!
Everything is under his control.
Rong Hengduo had already been subdued, so he briefly explained the situation. Because he didn't go into detail, he avoided the important parts, but his words combined with his disheveled appearance were enough to make Lin Meng angry again!
How can you treat a child like this!
She herself had an unhappy childhood, so she hated the most those who were parents or grandparents. They were the closest people, yet they would beat and scold their children at every turn, even abuse them, or simply resort to cold violence. If that was the case, then they shouldn't have given birth to the child in the first place. Since they did, it is their responsibility to raise the child properly. How could Du Caiyi, as Dodo’s grandmother, do such a thing This was someone who had been the mistress of the Rong family and came from a wealthy family. Is this all she has
Rong Heng Duo felt Lin Meng's anger, and his heart was sweetly filled. He reached out and boldly grasped Lin Meng's hand, then tilted his head upwards, looking at her with dependence. His brown-black eyes were shimmering with a pitiful gleam, the remnants of tears.
He kneaded her palm a few times, as if to soothe her and tell her not to be angry.
Lin Meng was taken aback by his first bold and intimate display, but quickly recovered.
"That's your grandmother. What do you want to do about it"
"Forget it," Rong Hengduo shook his head, only saying these two words.
Such an ending, Lin Meng could probably guess. When it comes to family matters, things are never that easy to settle. And with Du Caiyi's fiery temper, she would forcefully intervene and attract some trouble. As for DuoDuo, he hasn't reached the point where she would risk everything to stand up for him.
She shook her head and glanced at her husband.
"I think I should let Rong Feiwu know about this."
Since she's the one who taught him, she has a certain responsibility. She'll do everything she can for him.
Rong Ling nodded, but Rong Hengduo shook his head sharply.
"Auntie, no!"
"Why"
"I don't want my grandpa and grandma to have a bad relationship because of me."
Lin Meng sighed. “I know you’re a filial child, but with this appearance of yours, can you hide from your grandfather! Even if you stayed here for days, you wouldn't escape his investigation. You should understand your grandfather's temper and abilities; he won't be able to bear not seeing you and will definitely investigate secretly.”
Rong Hengtuo just froze for a moment. Of course, how could he have forgotten this He was really being an idiot!
"Well...let me tell grandpa tomorrow. After tonight, some of the injuries might subside a bit!"
It doesn't look so scary now!
Lin Meng thought to herself that this child was actually quite good-natured. He was very different from his father and grandmother. She also hoped that when he grew up, he wouldn't turn out like them.
"Since you've made your decision, then we respect it. Rong Ling, what do you think"
"Alright, it's a small matter. Let him handle it himself; he's capable of doing so!"
Although he was replying to Lin Meng's words, his gaze was fixed on Rong Hengduo. That profound look, coupled with his words, gave Rong Hengduo a lot of inspiration.
Little things, he has this ability--this is affirmation for him, and a hint as well!
Rong Heng felt deeply and suddenly felt invigorated. That's right, his uncle was right, it was indeed a trivial matter. He had taken it too seriously, cared too much, which affected his judgment. He had lost so much recently that he desperately wanted to hold onto something, but in doing so, it became somewhat pathological, perhaps even like those "possessed" characters on TV. He should regain his previous mindset.
As he was deep in thought, a warm towel was gently placed on his face.
"Clean it first before applying medicine." Lin Meng, who had just come back with warm water, said.
Rong Hengduo immediately leaned his face forward slightly to make it easier for her to wipe. Then, he opened his eyes and stared at her intently.
"Little aunt, you're so nice." He came over with that sentence right after wiping her little mouth.
Lin Meng smiled but didn't say anything.
Later, Rong Hengduo didn't hesitate at all and took off his short sleeves and shorts to make it convenient for Lin Meng to wipe him. Rong Ling raised an eyebrow and didn't stop him. When applying the medicine, Youyou and Haohuo came back. Seeing this, the two little ones quickened their pace. Haohuo couldn't help himself, took a few steps and rushed over, his eyes full of jealousy as he glared at Rong Hengduo for a few times before asking Lin Meng.
"Mommy, what's wrong"
Lin Meng couldn't explain, so she looked up at Rong Hengduo, waiting to see what he would do.
"It was my grandma who beat me up!"
To be truly accepted by others, one must first become sincere and take that step themselves. That's what he just realized.
"Oh." Little Haohao took sadistic pleasure in Lin Meng's misfortune and immediately tried to steal her work.
"Mommy, I'm coming!"
Only Mom's soft and gentle hands would apply medicine to Rong Hengduo.
"Good."
But Lin Meng demonstrated once before handing the ointment application task to little Haohuo.
Rong Hengduo was a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his attitude. When Xiaohuao finished his work, he thanked him. Xiaohuao snorted from his nose and ignored him.
Hmph, who cares!
When it came time to choose the dishes for dinner, Rong Hengduo also came in to help Lin Meng. Suddenly, a big one and two little ones filled the kitchen, making quite a ruckus. Little Haohuo was especially rambunctious.
"Don't bother me, go play by yourself!" The way he said it, like he was the big boss!
"It's fine, it's boring to just stay here anyway."
"Then you go busy yourself with other things, don't come and fight me for it." Xiaohuo bluntly put it, showing his childishness.
Rong Hengduo simply said, "Good," and left.
He didn't get angry on the spot and confront Xiao Hao. He seems to have a good temper, or perhaps a broad mind, or maybe he's just good at hiding it. Whatever the reason, his reaction was quite commendable.
Lin Meng waited for him to leave before shaking her head in disapproval. "Haohuo!"
Xiao Hao immediately smiled ingratiatingly at Lin Meng. "Mommy, Rong Hengduo is a guest. How can we let a guest get tired, right"
"Your tone is wrong!"
"Well...he took my job, didn't he This was supposed to be Haohao and his brother's job." Little Haohao looked wronged. He wanted to try hard and show his presence so he wouldn't be overshadowed by someone else.
"Brother, you're right, aren't you" He quickly pulled Youyou in as well.
You You naturally nodded. Who is allied with whom is beyond question.
"See See Even my big brother thinks that way too!"
Little Haohao felt a sense of belonging and was immediately delighted.
"You, you!" Lin Meng pointed at Xiao Haohuo's forehead with her wet hand. "Little person, big devil!"
Xiao Hao grinned mischievously. Lin Meng ignored him. Let the children solve their own problems. As her husband would say, these three children will all be extraordinary in the future. If necessary, adults should guide them appropriately, but for everything else, let them figure it out themselves first.
When Rong Hengduo returned, Rong Feiwu was already there waiting for him. Sitting beside him were Du Caiyi and Rong Henda. Logically speaking, at this time Rong Henda should have been asleep already. He was young, so he was used to going to bed early, and his interactions with his older brother were usually in the morning or on weekends. It was almost 10 o'clock, yet he was sitting here, which was very unusual.
Feng Hengtuo thought about what Lin Meng had said to him, and he felt a sense of understanding in his heart. It seemed that Grandpa knew about this afternoon's events.
"Grandpa, Grandma!"
He shouted at the two elderly people. Rong Feiwu nodded, but Du Caiyi turned her face cold and didn't say a word. She held a Rong Henda in her arms, as if Rong Henda were a baby who needed to be coaxed and protected at any time. But actually, Rong Henda was already six years old, a year older than Youyou and Haohuo!
Her attitude towards the two children is vastly different, too obvious!
Rong Fei took a deep breath in his heart and pointed to the spot beside him.
"Sit!"
Rong Hengduo sat down expressionlessly.
"I know everything that happened today," Rong Fei Wu said.
Du Caiyi immediately glared at Rong Hentuo with anger. You little brat, she knew he would tattle on her. Rong Feiwu made her sit here and wait for this little scoundrel, and wouldn't let Dada go to sleep, she had a feeling about this.
"What did that little brat say to you"
You little brat!
Rong Fei was furious, is this how a grandmother addresses her grandson
"Du Caiyi, Duoduo has a name and surname, you can call him Duoduo, or Rong Heng Duoduo, whatever, but don't you dare call him 'stinky kid'!"
Du Caiyi merely let out a cold snort.
This attitude pissed Rong Fei Wu off.
“Are you still Doudou’s grandma” he questioned.
Du Caiyi retorted, "I'd love to be his grandmother, but this unfilial grandson probably wouldn't recognize me as such!"
"Hmph, if he didn't have this filial piety, could he still cover up the things you've done!"
What is he hiding Didn't he tell you everything A tattletale, saying what he shouldn't and leaving out what he should. This kid was born to be against me.
“He didn’t tell me anything, he hid everything from me for you. I have my own ways of finding out things. Just take this afternoon, Duo Duo would rather hide from me than come face to face and tell me about what happened with you. Du Cai Yi, you need to see what's going on in this child’s heart!”
"Humph, trying to fool who Do you think I'm a three-year-old"
"She's not a three-year-old child, is she!" Rong Feiwu thought to himself, shaking his head in disappointment and saying, "It seems you still refuse to repent, remain stubbornly foolish, and are incorrigible!"
Du Caiyi glared at Rong Fei Wu.
"Rong Fei Wu, I'm not speaking, so don't think I'm easy to bully!"
"How dare you!" Rong Fei's voice was filled with anger. "If I were easy to bully, this family wouldn't be in such a state. I won't even mention the things done from afar. Just take Duo Duo for example. This is your own grandson, how could you be so heartless towards him When Qi Keng was a child, he was mischievous, but I never saw you hit him. What crime has Duo Duo committed that you would treat him with such cruelty!"
Du Caixin was stunned for a moment before thinking back and forcefully argued, "Qi Ke's naughtiness is nothing. But what Duo Duo has done are major matters. He went to beg the Rong Ling family to take him in and even helped Lin Meng steal my aunt's position. What he did is utterly heartless, an unforgivable act of unfiliality!"
"Unfilial! You have the nerve to say these words! If he were truly unfilial, he wouldn't need to be so respectful to you, saving face for you in public; if he were unfilial, he wouldn't need to cover up and protect you, making you look like a good grandmother; if he were unfilial, he would simply go back to his maternal grandparents' house and have them raise him, letting everyone pierce your spine and laugh at our family. You, as a grandmother, really have the face to talk about filial piety I'd rather ask, what have you given Toudou throughout his life! Besides the food, clothing, shelter, and transportation that anyone can provide, what else have you given him Did you hold him in your palm and shower him with love, or did you teach him anything"
He wants to become stronger and seeks help from his own uncle. What's wrong with that You have a grudge against Rong Ling and his family, is it worth dragging Duo Duo into this That's my son and daughter-in-law's family, Duo Duo is my grandson, my own grandson going to visit his father is something natural! What kind of twisted heart could possibly condemn this Helping Lin Meng take the position of aunt-by-marriage, hmph, you actually think highly of your grandson now. Didn't you think he was incompetent before How come suddenly he has such extraordinary abilities, even able to control the position of aunt-by-marriage! Du Cai Yi, I see that you are mad with power.
Du Caiyi was furious. "My grandson, how can I not care!" could he help her!One can only say that this man has a kind of inexplicable pride, refusing to lower himself first!She endured, her whole body drenched in sweat, as if fished out of water. But she st...
