Han Jiwen and Han Jixue returned home crying and shouting, which made Liu Juhua very distressed. She hurriedly asked, "What happened? What happened? Which bastard dared to bully my grandson?"
Han Jixue was sobbing and unable to speak. His grandparents had always spoiled him since he was little and had never hit him. "Dad, Dad hit me."
Han Jiwen wiped his tears. He was not beaten, but he was also scared when he saw his father getting angry: "Uncle bought candied haws, and we thought he bought them for us, but he said that since we wanted to eat candied haws, let my father buy them for us..."
Liu Juhua's face darkened: "Your uncle bought some candied haws, and you asked him for some, but he didn't even give you any?"
Han Jixue and Han Jiwen nodded. Liu Juhua snorted heavily, stood up and said, "Wait a minute, grandma will get some candied haws for you."
Han Jixue and Han Jiwen said "hmm" at the same time.
Liu Juhua looked as if she was going to settle accounts with Han Ze, and ran to Han Ze's house angrily.
Han Ze took Xiao Liuzi back home. Han Maode stood up and asked, "How is it? Did you see a doctor?"
Han Ze said with a smile on his face: "Dad, the doctor said that our little Liuzi is not a fool."
Han Maode was so surprised that he was stunned for a while. He came to his senses after a while and asked anxiously, "You are not a fool, why can't you speak?"
The man's words echoed in Ge Hongbu's mind. Xiao Liuzi is not a fool, Xiao Liuzi is not a fool...
Han Ze touched his nose guiltily: "Maybe I was scared."
Thinking that Xiao Liuzi had already said "ang", at least he could make a sound, they guided him and relieved the knot in his heart. With the help of the pills prescribed by the medical department, he would eventually speak.
Han Maode frowned and asked anxiously, "Why are you scared?"
Ge Hongbu also looked at Han Ze with concern.
Han Ze added: "When we were in town, Xiao Liuzi was already able to make sounds. When we have nothing to do, teach him to speak more. I believe he will be able to speak sooner or later."
Han Maode asked happily: "Really?"
Han Ze looked at him: "Of course it's true." Then he looked at Xiao Liuzi: "Xiao Liuzi, say you miss me!"
Xiao Liuzi pursed his lips, met the expectant eyes of his parents and grandfather, and raised his head.
"Good, good, good!" Han Maode shouted three times in a row, "God has been kind to us."
Ge Hongbu wiped her tears and hugged Xiao Liuzi. Not only was her son not a fool, but he might be able to speak after some time. This was great.
Han Ze smiled and said, "Let's catch a chicken and kill it to celebrate."
Han Maode waved his hand and said, "Kill it. I'll go catch the chicken."
Then Han Ze saw his father in this world chasing chickens around the yard. He ran faster than him. He seemed to be in good health. He didn't need to worry anymore and went to the study with a smile.
Da Niu and several other children took the characters they had written and stood in a row in front of Han Ze, waiting for his inspection. After Han Ze inspected Da Niu's five characters, he nodded and said, "Although it's well written, you can still write better. You need to work harder tomorrow. However, since you are quite obedient, I will reward you with a string of candied haws."
Han Ze took out a string of candied haws and handed it to her. The girl took it in a daze.
Han Ze ignored her and looked at Erniu. Erniu hurriedly handed the big characters she wrote to Han Ze. Han Ze took them. Erniu looked nervous and clenched her hands. Han Ze read it carefully and nodded with satisfaction: "Erniu wrote very well and made great progress, but Dad believes you can still improve. I will give you a string of candied haws and a piece of candy as a reward."
Erniu smiled and took the candied haws and sugar cubes handed over by her father. Sanniu, Siniu and Wuniu licked their lips and looked at the candied haws in the hands of the eldest and second sisters with envy. Sanniu carefully handed the big words she had written to her father. Han Ze frowned after reading them. Sanniu looked at her father's expression and suddenly lowered her head. Her writing was not as good as that of the eldest and second sisters. Would her father beat her
Han Ze looked at her and said, "The handwriting is illegible and not up to standard, but since you are young, I won't punish you, but I won't reward you either."
Sanniu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as her father didn't beat her.
In the end, Si Niu, Wu Niu, Xiao Chun and Xiao Dong did not get any reward. Although they were disappointed that they could not eat the candied haws, they were relieved. At least they were not punished. If they write better next time, maybe they can get a reward
There were eight hawthorn fruits in a string of candied haws. The eldest girl shared some with her sisters. The second girl looked at the candied haws in her hand and felt reluctant to give it away, but she still planned to share it with her sisters. As for the candy in her hand, she gave it to Ge Hongbu, but Ge Hongbu refused and said, "This is a reward from your father. Eat it yourself."
Erniu pursed her lips and said, "Well, then, would you like to have a candied haws?"
Ge Hongbu touched her little head and said, "Mom doesn't like it, so you eat it."
Erniu frowned. How could anyone not like to eat candied haws? She turned around and glanced at her father standing in the yard. She mustered up the courage to walk to her father and raised the candied haws in her hand: "Dad, eat candied haws!"
Han Ze was slightly surprised. He knew how afraid these children were of their original bodies. He didn't expect Erniu to think of him when she had something to eat. He smiled and squatted down, and ate a piece from Erniu's hand. "It's so sweet!"
Erniu smiled and raised her hand again, signaling Dad to eat another one. Han Ze shook his head and said with a smile: "Dad only needs to eat one, you can eat the rest."
Just as he finished speaking, Liu Juhua arrived. She stared at him and said, "Han Ze, where are the candied haws you bought?"
Han Ze pointed at the candied haws in Erniu's hand and said nonchalantly, "Of course the candied haws are for the kids. What's wrong with that?"
Liu Juhua looked at the candied haws in Erniu's hand and said angrily, "What are you eating, little girl?"
Taking a step forward to snatch the candied haws from Erniu's hand, Han Ze stepped in front of Erniu and said unhappily, "What are you going to do, mother?"
Liu Juhua was stunned. She didn't expect Han Ze to dare to stop her. She said unhappily, "Get out of the way. Jixue and Jiwen want to eat candied haws. Let Erniu bring the candied haws. I'll take it back for Jixue and Jiwen. What can she eat when she loses money? It's a waste."
Han Ze laughed angrily: "Even if they are money-losing goods, they will be my money, not Han Chengming's. You can rest assured. Besides, I don't think they are money-losing goods."
Liu Juhua was furious: "What bullshit are you talking about? You are my son, so your money is mine, isn't it?"
Before Han Ze could speak, Han Maode came over and said sarcastically, "I don't know how my money became yours, Liu Juhua's. How dare you say that? I'm going to ask Han Xingwang, is he unable to support his wife or what? Why are you thinking about my money?"
Liu Juhua blushed and said angrily: "Han Ze is my son, isn't it his responsibility to raise me?"
Han Maode snorted, "It's true that you gave birth to Han Ze, but you've remarried. Now the mistress of our family is Wang Lanhua. She is Han Ze's mother, and she is the one who should be filial to him."
Liu Juhua's face was pale and blue. Wang Lanhua, she had always looked down on Wang Lanhua. She picked up a man she didn't want, and Han Ze never acknowledged her... She looked at Han Ze: "You are my son, you should be filial to me."
Han Ze's face showed no emotion: "Should I be filial to you? My father is still alive. I will listen to him."
Liu Juhua was speechless. If Han Maode didn't let Han Ze take care of her, she really couldn't say anything. After all, they divorced and she remarried. But how could she be willing to let Han Ze go? She said, "Han Ze, your two nephews are smart and good at studying. They may pass the exam to become a scholar in the future. Although they and Xiao Liuzi don't have the same grandfather, they have the same grandmother. Don't you count on them? Can you count on those people who have nothing to do with you? Do you think Wang Lanhua's grandchildren will be able to give Xiao Liuzi support?"
Han Ze narrowed his eyes and said, "Mom, I really believe that my stepbrother's child will help Xiao Liuzi in the future. As for Han Chengming's two children, I really don't believe him."
Liu Juhua froze, "They are your nephews."
Han Ze laughed, "It's true that they are my nephews, but I don't believe in blood ties. I believe in human nature. My stepmother has a righteous heart, and the children and grandchildren she raised are also upright. Our Han family raised them, built houses for them, and married them off. If for nothing else, they will help Xiao Liuzi if he gets into trouble in the future. And with what you and Uncle Xingwang did to my father, and how you and Han Chengming deceived me, it's hard for me to believe that the children you raised are grateful children."
"You..." Liu Juhua's face turned pale and she was speechless.
Han Ze continued, "To put it bluntly, it's because you, mother, have a bad character. Even as your son, I have lost trust in you, and then I also lost trust in your children and grandchildren. In the end, it's all your fault. Who told you to lie to me?"
"you... ... "
Han Ze glanced at her and said, "Don't think I'm cruel. Think about what you did to my father. I don't think I'm that cruel. You should go back. Instead of calculating my money, you should rely on your own hands and find a way to earn money to support your grandson's education. At least you don't have to be looked down upon by others."
"Hello, Han Ze." Liu Juhua finally shouted out, but unfortunately Han Ze had already entered the house and no one in the yard paid attention to her. Liu Juhua covered her chest and walked out unwillingly.
Only after she walked out of Han Ze's yard did she completely panic. She clearly realized that Han Ze really didn't recognize her. She had been raised by Han Ze for so many years and she had become accustomed to it. Without Han Ze's support, could she go back to the days when she had to endure hardships
Han Xiaochun and Han Xiaodong looked at each other, and Han Xiaochun sighed, "You still can't do anything that will make you feel guilty."
Han Xiaodong said, "If mom were at home, she would be happy to hear what brother said, right?"
Han Xiaochun also smiled: "I didn't expect that in my heart, mom is such a good stepmother."
Han Xiaodong smiled and said, "I didn't expect that either."
Han Da Nv asked from the side: "Mom, do we not have to be afraid of grandma anymore from now on?"
From what dad said, it seems that he doesn’t plan to recognize mom anymore. If dad doesn’t recognize mom, why should they recognize grandma
Ge Hongbu frowned and shook her head. She didn't know whether he recognized her or not. She didn't care. Her little Liuzi was not a fool anymore.
After eating the candied haws, Han Erniu said happily, "This is the first time that Han Jixue and Han Jiwen didn't take our food away."
Han Xiaodong curled his lips and said, "That should have been your food. It was bought with our family's money."
Han Erniu pursed her lips, and the joy on her face disappeared in an instant.
Han Ze came out and said, "Don't worry, I won't let them steal your things from now on."
Several people looked at Han Ze, and Han Ze said, "Little Liuzi is not stupid. We ignored him before and thought he was stupid. In fact, he can understand everything. Let him read and write with you tomorrow. When he speaks fluently in the future, let him take the imperial examination and become a scholar or a juren. With him around, your father won't have to rely on others to take care of him in his old age. With him as your backer in the future, you won't expect Han Ji to learn Han Jiwen, so there's no need to please them anymore."
Han Da Nv opened her eyes wide. What her father meant was that the reason why he was nice to Han Jixue and Han Jiwen was because their family depended on them. Now the doctor said that Xiao Liuzi was not a fool and did not need to rely on Han Jixue and Han Jiwen, so they did not need to compromise and endure grandma's family
