Chapter 250 Discipline of Granddaughter
Man'er turned and ran towards home, shouting, "Grandma, Brother Yanhong was beaten by Grandma Luo."
Tong Huaqiong rushed out of the house and heard a lot of ghosts howling outside.
When I got to the door, I saw Liu Yanhong leaning against Yaozu and crying, Luo Pozi was beating Chunni, and Chunwang was jumping up and down and cheering...
Tong Huaqiong's blood boiled.
As for the fire stick in Luo Po's hand, let alone the fact that Liu Yanhong was the son of the county magistrate, even an ordinary child could not be hit like that.
Tong Huaqiong stepped forward and took away Luo Pozi's stick.
Mrs. Luo said angrily, "What does my disciplining of my granddaughter have to do with you, Widow Tong?"
Tong Huaqiong yelled angrily, "Mrs. Luo, what are you crazy about? I have no right to interfere with you disciplining your children at home, but I have to interfere with you beating someone up in front of my house until he is crying."
Then he pointed at Liu Yanhong and said, "Do you know who you hit?"
Mrs. Luo said, "No matter who it is, if they bully my Chunwang, they should be beaten."
Tong Huaqiong didn't waste any words with Luo Pozi and said, "This is the son of the county magistrate Liu. You beat him up. Will his father be willing to let you go if he knows?"
When Mrs. Luo heard about the son of County Magistrate Liu, she didn't believe it at all.
How could the son of a county magistrate be in Widow Tong's house? He was smeared like a mud monkey, which was nothing like the son of a county magistrate.
Tong Huaqiong ignored Mrs. Luo, threw away the fire stick, came to Liu Yanhong and asked, "Where did you hit?"
Yaozu said, "He hit me on the back."
Tong Huaqiong uncovered Liu Yanhong's clothes. Fortunately, it was cool in autumn. Tong Huaqiong was afraid that the wild wind in the countryside would freeze Liu Yanhong, so she asked him to wear something thicker.
So when Mrs. Luo hit him with the stick, Liu Yanhong's back became red and swollen, but it didn't look that serious.
Tong Huaqiong planned to rub him with gentian violet after returning home.
However, if County Magistrate Liu's mother knew about Liu Yanhong's injury, no one would be in good stead.
Tong Huaqiong was furious and said to Mrs. Luo who was scolding Chunni, "Find out if he is the son of Magistrate Liu."
When the village chief Liu Tielian heard that the son of County Magistrate Liu was beaten by Mrs. Luo, he ran over wearing only one shoe.
He scolded Luo Pozi, "Why are you so confused? You discipline your granddaughter, but you even beat the son of the county magistrate."
Liu Tielian stamped his feet while looking at Liu Yanhong's back.
It turned out to be the county magistrate's son. Mrs. Luo was shocked. After she came to her senses, she became even more angry with Chunni.
If Chunni had not taken Maner's corn for herself, how could Chunwang have been bullied? If Chunwang had not been bullied, how could she have come to vent her anger on Chunwang and accidentally hurt the county magistrate's son?
Luo Pozi forced herself to walk over to Tong Huaqiong and Liu Yanhong and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't know he was the county magistrate's son. When I was disciplining my daughter Chunni, he sided with her. I thought he was some ignorant kid."
Tong Huaqiong said bluntly: "Even if he is not the son of the county magistrate, you are justified in doing such a cruel thing?"
Mrs. Luo gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, forget it. I accept the punishment. If you want to hire a doctor, I'll pay for it."
Tong Huaqiong really wanted to extort a few taels of silver from Mrs. Luo.
Chunni saw Liu Yanhong being beaten for stopping her grandmother, and stood aside timidly.
Mrs. Luo grabbed Chunni and slapped her, then pushed her towards Liu Yanhong and scolded her, "You are the one who caused all this trouble. Why don't you come over and apologize to the young master?"
Tong Huaqiong saw Chunni was covered with bruises, so she pulled Chunni over and angrily said to Luo Pozi, "It was all caused by your grandson Chunwang. Why did you hit Chunni? It would be fine if I didn't see you hitting Chunni, but now you're hitting Chunni in front of my house, so I have to intervene."
Liu Tielian angrily scolded, "Mrs. Luo, what are you doing? Chunni is a delicate little girl, how can she bear your beatings and scoldings? I'm not saying anything bad about you, you always beat or scold Chunni, and you don't listen to my advice. You are getting more and more arrogant and running to other people's doorsteps to beat children. Chunni is so young, and you beat her to death with a fire poker. What if she dies?"
Mrs. Luo snorted, obviously not convinced.
Just beat a little girl to death, there's nothing to feel sad about.
When Tong Huaqiong saw Luo Pozi's expression, she knew what Luo Pozi was thinking.
In the village, Mrs. Luo is not as evil as Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Huang, nor is she as difficult to deal with as Tong Da Jiao in the past.
She is a typical old country lady who has a close relationship with her neighbors. She does not do evil or make trouble to outsiders and only regards her husband, son and grandson as her gods.
He regarded all the female relatives, including himself, as money-losing goods.
Such an old lady had no guilt at all for almost beating her granddaughter to death.
She just felt that outsiders were meddling in her affairs.
And you can't preach to her about the equality of men and women. She even feels that she is inferior, so how can she think that her granddaughter is as important as her grandson?
She just thought that a grandmother like Tong Huaqiong who treated her granddaughter Maner as a treasure was out of her mind.
Such an old lady cannot convince her to change unless she is possessed by another Tong Huaqiong from modern times.
Or Chunni will wake up and rebel herself.
"How did it get beaten like this?"
Hong came to Chunni at some point, took Chunni's hand, and saw the purple and red marks on Chunni's wrists left by the stick, with a look of heartache.
Only then did she intuitively realize the meaning of Tong Huaqiong's words "Chun Ni is the one who is pitiful."
A girl this young should not be held tenderly in one's arms and cared for, but instead she was beaten like this.
Hong knew that girls were not valued in the countryside, but she imagined that the disdain meant that girls had to do housework and work in the fields from a young age. She never expected that not only would they have to work in the fields and do housework, but they would also be beaten almost to death.
It was beyond her imagination!
Seeing Chunni's numb face filled with tears, and then seeing Chunwang smiling at Chunni with a crooked mouth and raised eyebrows, Hong's stomach felt a pang of pain.
"Let's go back." Tong Huaqiong pulled Liu Yanhong over and said.
Mrs. Luo came up reluctantly to apologize to Liu Yanhong, but was glared back by Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong took Liu Yanhong home to apply medicine, and Hong took Chunni with them.
Mrs. Luo stopped Mrs. Hong and said, "I will take my granddaughter home to discipline her."
Mrs. Hong got angry and asked, "How are you going to discipline him? Beat him with a stick again?"
After saying that, he pulled Chunni into the yard and closed the door.
Tong Huaqiong went into the room and took out some gentian violet, anti-inflammatory medicine, and cotton swabs.
"Yanhong, does it hurt?" Tong Huaqiong comforted Liu Yanhong while applying purple medicine on him, "It will be better soon, it will be better soon."
Liu Yanhong grimaced in pain, but said, "Grandma, don't worry, I won't tell my dad and grandma about the beating today. Otherwise, my grandma won't let me come to Qinghewan. I like your home and the cakes you make."
Tong Huaqiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she took the opportunity to teach him a lesson: "Starting tomorrow, practice one hundred big characters a day, or I'll send you home."
Liu Yanhong nodded obediently and agreed.
Tong Huaqiong was worried about when County Magistrate Liu would come to pick up his son.
She also has no responsibility or obligation to keep supporting the person.
I got hit on the back today. What if I fall into the water tomorrow and trip while climbing a mountain?
Bah, bah, bah, Tong Huaqiong spat a few times in her heart. Nothing must happen to the county magistrate's son in her house.
