Volume 2, Chapter 165: Beaten
Not only was Wulang injured, but Gu Ran also had a bruised nose and face, and his clothes were torn.
Shangguan Ruoli was startled and rushed to greet him, asking, "What's wrong? Are you two fighting again?"
Wulang's clothes were splashed with ink, and there were ink stains on his backpack. When he saw Shangguan Ruoli, he said "Wow" and cried in grievance.
Shangguan Ruoli put Wulang into his arms, patted his back gently, and comforted him softly: "Okay, okay, don't be afraid, tell me what's going on? Mom will make the decision for you!"
"It's not the two of us who are fighting, it's us fighting with someone else." Gu Ran burst into tears, holding back the tears and enviously watching Wu Lang crying in Shangguan Ruoli's arms, enjoying his mother's caress and comfort.
When I was a child, my mother hugged and coaxed me so tenderly, right?
When I was wronged, my mother must have felt so distressed and wanted to make the decision for herself.
Mother, mother, why did you abandon your son like this?
My son misses his mother’s arms so much and wants her to hold him again!
Thinking of this, Gu Ran's tears finally fell, and she sobbed and cried.
Wulang calmed down under Shangguan Ruoli's comfort, and said softly: "Mom, Qin Lisi in our class and a few classmates deliberately spilled my ink all over the desk. I argued with them, and then we started fighting.
Gu Ran heard the noise next door and came over to see me being bullied, so he came over to help. After all, we are single and weak, and it is difficult for us to fight with two fists, so we suffered a loss."
Shangguan Ruoli asked: "Then you, sir, don't care?"
Wulang said aggrievedly: "Qin Lisi said they didn't do it on purpose, but I know that he did it on purpose! Those people like him love to bully others, and they look down on me for coming from the countryside."
Shangguan Ruoli took out a handkerchief and wiped Wulang's tears, "Okay, don't cry anymore. Let's think of something slowly."
This is why poor children have no choice but to go to aristocratic schools. No matter how well they study or how well they dress, those students who think they are superior will look down on them.
Gu Ran wiped his tears with his sleeve and said: "It's none of Jing Xin's business, but Qin Lisi is here for me. He is the child of my stepmother and sister. He doesn't dare to bully me. Seeing that Jing Xin is getting along with me, he goes
Bully him."
Wu Lang's eyes narrowed, he remembered something, stopped crying, and said: "By the way, when Qin Lisi beat me, he said, 'Let your family meddle in other people's business and let you sow discord.'"
Shangguan Ruoli looked stern, "No wonder the Gu family came to vandalize the snack shop today. It turns out they thought we had instigated the mother-son relationship between Gu Ran and her stepmother."
"What?!" Wulang became anxious upon hearing this, "Our snack shop was smashed?!"
Gu Ran's face turned red with anger, "Auntie, is it true?"
Shangguan Ruoli said: "Five or six ruffians came and smashed the dim sum shop. Fortunately, people from the Qianlima shop next door helped and subdued them all and sent them to the government.
After interrogation, it was found that those gangsters were bribed by a steward of the Gu family to destroy the shop. The government sentenced them to hard labor, and your father sent someone to compensate us five hundred taels of silver."
Shangguan Ruoli didn't hide anything. In this society where people get married at the age of fifteen or six, a seven-year-old child already knows a lot of things. What's more, a child without a mother should be precocious.
Wu Lang was surprised and realized that he had caused this disaster. He glared at Gu Ran and said, "What I told you, did you go back and tell others?"
Shangguan Ruoli's heart sank and he felt something was wrong, "What did you say to him?"
Wulang said: "It's the words you said about your stepmother."
Shangguan Ruoli: "..."
It turns out that the root is still here!
She just analyzed the tactics used in the mansion with the children. Who would have thought that Wulang would tell Gu Ran those words without even giving instructions? Besides, the two of them had just finished fighting at that time!
Alas! It seems that I am going to have a bad reputation for gossiping behind others' backs and instigating the relationship between mother and son.
Gu Ran said hurriedly: "I didn't say who said it! Who do you think I am? How could I betray a friend?! I didn't even mention it to you!"
After that, he stamped his foot and said, "I'll go find my father and ask him why he did such a gangster act!"
With that said, he turned around and ran away.
"Hey..." Shangguan Ruoli called out, but Gu Ran didn't listen, climbed into his carriage and left.
Wulang looked at the back of the carriage and asked: "Mom, did I get into trouble? I just saw him as pitiful, not as caring about his own mother, and that his stepmother was so bad."
Shangguan Ruoli stroked his hair and said patiently: "Mom is also at fault. She should have told you. In the future, you must think twice before doing anything you say or do. You must not be close to each other, and you must not interfere in other people's family affairs."
Wulang nodded heavily, "After this incident, I will remember it."
Ling Yue and Han Sisi came out from school and were shocked to see Wu Lang like this, "What's wrong?"
Wulang didn't say anything and nestled in Shangguan Ruoli's arms, feeling ashamed.
Shangguan Ruoli said: "It's okay, I had a fight with my classmate."
Han Sisi took a look and said goodbye without asking any questions.
When the three of them arrived at a less crowded alley, Ling Yue asked, "What's going on?"
Shangguan Ruoli told the whole story of the incident and the fact that the shop was smashed today, and then sighed and said, "To be honest, trouble comes from the mouth. It's because I didn't teach you well."
Wulang said ashamedly: "No, mother was teaching us principles. It was Wulang who talked too much and caused trouble for the family."
Ling Yue put her hand on his small shoulder and said: "You also think about your friends, you can't see Gu Ran being raised as a waste at such a young age? Or is Gu Fujun's moral character defective, his body is not upright, and his family is not strict?
, otherwise we would not let the original wife fill up the house to raise his legitimate son, and then send people to destroy our shop!"
Shangguan Ruoli analyzed: "I guess it was Gu's stepmother who did it. Gu Fujun couldn't use such a simple and stupid method."
Ling Yue disdainfully said, "Cultivate oneself, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Gu Fujun failed to do both of them before, and I think he can't do the latter two either."
Shangguan Ruoli picked up Wu Lang and said, "We are wrong in this matter, so let's let it go."
Ling Yue looked at Wu Lang distressedly and said angrily: "Is my brother being bullied like this? Are you going to swallow your breath like this? Otherwise, talk to their husband!"
Shangguan Ruoli said: "I think Mr. Lai heard the reason for their fight, so he just sat back and ignored it..."
"No!" Wulang interrupted Shangguan Ruoli and stretched out his hand, "All of us who participated in the fight were beaten."
Shangguan Ruoli took a look and saw that the palm of Wulang's left hand was red, swollen and shiny, which showed that the beating was not gentle.
Ling Yue suddenly cried out in distress, "Your husband is too cruel!"
Wulang said: "I was the least beaten, with ten commandments, and the others were all twenty. Gu Ran came from another class to fight, and he received twenty-five. In addition, each of us copied the clan rules fifty times.
Don’t delay your homework. If you do it again next time, the punishment will be doubled.”
Shangguan Ruoli, a gentleman from the Taoist School, is quite fair. As for corporal punishment? Haha, in this era, corporal punishment is normal.
Over there, Gu Ran arrived home and asked if his father was not in the house. He rushed to the garrison Yamen and asked Gu Fujun: "Why did you send people to destroy the really delicious dim sum shop?"
Gu Fujun asked his subordinates to step back, then sneered and said, "What? So soon they came to provoke you again?"
