Chapter 144: Being on guard against others is essential
Xiao Baoer arranged for Xiao Putao to pay close attention to the movements in Li Changhe's family and Shen Yongfu's safety in the next two days.
"Wife, is Li Changhe crazy? We have been neighbors for so many years, and he actually wants to harm us," Shen Zhensheng knew that Li Changhe was not a good cadre, but he did not expect that he could use such vicious ideas.
"Once a person is dominated by greed, he will do things you would never imagine. You cannot be lenient to such a person.
Just like in my previous life, after my grandfather passed away, my cousin tried to seize my grandfather's company, but I sent him to prison. If I hesitate, the company will change hands. "Xiao Baoer recalled that period of time with some emotion.
Shen Zhensheng held her hand and rubbed it back and forth, "You did the right thing, my wife. You can't be lenient with people like this."
The two of them prepared dinner together. They made a clear stewed radish and beef soup, colorful vegetable bean curd rolls, bitter gourd with salted egg yolk, fried shrimp with black pepper asparagus, and stir-fried cowpea with meat. The staple food was white steamed buns and flower rolls, and a bowl of millet porridge.
"Mom, can we go and play with Brother Jiawang later?" Jiawang is the grandson of my uncle. He played with Erbao and the others today.
"Son, then tell mom why you want to play with Jiawang," Xiao Baoer asked patiently.
Erbao thought about it and said to Xiao Baoer, "Because Jiawang said his grandmother said at home that mom is the most capable and best woman in the village, and everyone in the family should learn from you.
Brother Jiawang said he is too young to be friends with you, but his grandmother said the children you raise are good, smart and cute, so she wants to be friends with me and my brother. "
Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer couldn't help laughing when they heard Erbao utter so many words in a flash and they were so logical. This little guy's brain is so flexible every day.
Shen Zhensheng picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl, and patiently taught him, "Son, making friends depends mainly on yourself. If you like Brother Jiawang, you can be friends with him, but you must remember that you cannot bully or look down on any children in the village."
"Yeah, we are all the same, why should we look down on other families? That's not good. Erbao won't be a bad kid like that."
"That's fine. Remember that everyone is equal. Everyone is unique. Don't be like those two bad brothers today and try to steal other people's things.
You can tell your parents what snacks, clothes, toys, and comic books you want, but you cannot ask for others’ things.”
Xiao Baoer also used today's incident about Aunt Shen's grandson to educate her three children. No matter whether Sanbao can understand it or not, Dabao and Erbao can understand it a little bit.
Dabao and Erbao nodded like chicks pecking at rice, indicating that they remembered what their mother said. Sanbao was eating at the side, and suddenly said, "Bao, no, Bao has it."
The whole family laughed when they saw Sanbao's expression. Shen Zhensheng even fed Sanbao a mouthful of shrimp. "What a great son! Here's a mouthful of shrimp as a reward."
Although the three children are still young, the principles that they should understand must be instilled into their minds from an early age. They must be able to distinguish right from wrong and know good from evil. Otherwise, if their parents do not educate them, society will educate them for them in the future.
The next morning after breakfast, Shen Zhensheng went to Shen Yongfu's house to find Shen Yongfu and remind him to pay attention to safety.
"Aunt, is the captain at home? I need to see him for something," Shen Zhensheng didn't see Shen Yongfu. Only Song Yun was sweeping the floor in the yard.
Song Yun saw Shen Zhensheng and warmly invited him to sit down. "Don't you know your uncle? He can't sit still. He just got up and said he wanted to go to the mountain for a walk. How about you wait for him?"
On the mountain? No, the mountain is the easiest place to start a fight. Shen Zhensheng said in a panic, "No need, Auntie. I also need to go up the mountain. I'll leave first."
Shen Zhensheng jogged all the way up the mountain. After a long time, he met Shen Yongfu who was coming down the mountain. Only then did he feel relieved.
"Zhensheng, why are you running? Why are you so panicked?" Shen Yongfu was still curious about what happened to Shen Zhensheng so early in the morning.
"Uncle, I'm here to see you. Let's go down the mountain first. I have something to tell you. Let's talk at my house," Shen Zhensheng said in a low voice.
"That's right. I have something to tell you. I just discovered something on the mountain."
The two of them went down the mountain together and came to Shen Zhensheng's house. Xiao Baoer was translating a book. When she saw them coming back, she made a pot of tea for them to take a rest.
"Zhensheng, you just said you had something to say. What is it? Do you have any idea who wrote the letter?"
Shen Zhensheng shook his head. "Uncle, I want to tell you something else. You must be careful of Li Changhe. He has been reported and is under investigation. He may bite you when he is desperate."
Although Shen Yongfu felt that he was not afraid of Li Changhe, he still felt that Shen Zhensheng was right. If Shen Zhensheng became desperate, it would be more trouble than it would take. There was no need to confront him head-on.
"Uncle knows. I will be careful with him. You must be on guard against others. I understand this principle. I want to tell you what I discovered just now on the mountain." Shen Yongfu gained a lot this morning.
"What's the matter?" Shen Zhensheng was also very curious.
Shen Yongfu glanced at Xiao Baoer who was writing on another table, and Shen Zhensheng said, "It's okay, uncle. My wife has a lot of ideas. She can give you some advice on anything. We two old men are still not as careful as she is."
Shen Yongfu then continued, "I just wanted to go for a walk in the mountains, but I found Li Changhe's youngest son and his second sister-in-law having an affair in a remote thatched house on the mountain."
Shen Zhensheng almost spit out a mouthful of water, and Xiao Baoer burst out laughing. Shen Yongfu looked at the two of them and asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at? Could it be that you two knew about this a long time ago?"
Xiao Baoer suppressed her laughter and continued, "We don't know about this, but we know another thing. Does Li Changhe's family have a habit of having affairs?"
Shen Zhensheng continued his wife's words, "My wife and I took the children to the mountains to collect firewood last time, and we accidentally discovered that Li Changhe was having an affair with my second uncle's eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Mei, and that Wang Mei had a daughter who was Li Changhe's child."
Now it was Shen Yongfu's turn to be stunned. After he reacted, he smiled even more brightly than Xiao Baoer just now. Damn it, this old man Li Changhe has been so cunning over the years. He is already a grandfather, but he still has a daughter who is not even older than his granddaughter.
"Uncle, what do you want to do next?" Shen Zhensheng asked Shen Yongfu.
"The commune will quietly send people into the village in the next few days to investigate whether the letter reporting Li Changhe is true. They will also look at the development of our village. When the time comes, I will lead them to the mountains for a stroll."
Seeing Shen Yongfu's knowing look, Shen Zhensheng knew that his uncle understood the situation. He wanted to use the eyes of the comrades in the commune to discover the dirty deeds of Li Changhe's family. Indeed, it would be most credible if he heard it through their mouths.
