Chapter 21 Reinventing Values

Is Zhang Yongming a good person?

In order to find this answer, Tong Tong kept staring at his face. Zhang Yongming still didn't mind and said kindly: "Stop watching, go back to the ward with your dad to rest! You won't lose school, and you don't have to pay for medical expenses. I will pay you what I promise you."

Tong Tong did feel exhausted and dizzy in front of him. But he refused Lao Tong's support, and he didn't need such a "dad". Lao Tong laughed embarrassedly, apologized to Zhang Yongming, and followed him out in a hurry.

An angry shout came from outside the ward: "I said I was right! Why do you apologize again and again?! You are willing to apologize and I won't stop you, but don't do this in front of me!"

It was obvious that it was Tong Tong's voice. Zhang Yongming and his wife looked at each other and smiled. Gu Meirong laughed and said, "It can be like this to his father. In the future, he will definitely suffer a big loss in his temperament when he goes to society."

Zhang Yongming smiled and shook his head: "This child is very stubborn. I can be his father at this age. He is not timid when facing me. I think he will make great achievements in the future. As for his attitude towards his father... Think about our son, his usual attitude towards speaking is not much better."

Zhang Yaoyao said angrily: "You are the people closest to me, so I am angry with you. Tong Tong is different. They all said that he was the child he picked up, and that person was his adoptive father just now."

Zhang Yongming was a little surprised and murmured and repeated the word "adoption" and suddenly started to say: "Tong Tong? Why does this name look so much like a nickname?"

Gu Meirong said, "That's right, there are so many children named 'tongtong'. Is the grandson who died early in my cousin's family called 'tongtong'? It's too long, and I have a bad relationship with his mother, so I can't remember it. You should be more familiar with me!"

Zhang Yongming smiled awkwardly: "Don't mention those things in the past, let alone the sad things, so I try not to think about them."

Gu Meirong lowered her head, looked a little lonely, and smiled indifferently, and turned around and left on the excuse of checking the rounds. Zhang Yongming was also silent, looking a little lonely. Zhang Yaoyao ignored these subtle emotional changes of his parents, and his father was not on his side just now, so he didn't want to talk to his father.

Zhang Yongming cleaned up the messy room and sat on the sofa and became stunned. Zhang Yaoyao secretly showed one eye. He didn't understand why his father, who had always been energetic, was so lonely. He had never seen that expression before.

Zhang Yongming suddenly turned his eyes, and Zhang Yaoyao got into the quilt again. Zhang Yongming walked over and lifted the quilt, sighing: "Does the wound hurt?"

"It hurts so much! Why are you asking now?"

"Didn't you ask when I called you in Japan? I heard that you were stabbed and my legs were so scared that I was so weak. Although the legs were not a vital point, if you hurt your artery, it would be very dangerous."

"Dad, since that's the case, are you still standing on Tong Tong's side?"

"Did you have a concussion? Have you broken your wrist and ankle? Have you had a broken face?" Zhang Yongming said seriously: "I also said that he will be held accountable. What about you? Is it not enough for you to provoke trouble and intentionally hurt people?"

Zhang Yaoyao was speechless and muttered for a while: "You are a lawyer. Besides, my grandfather and grandpa are rich and powerful in Hong Kong City, and they can always find a way to convict him."

Zhang Yongming opened his mouth in surprise: "Yaoyao, who told you this? This is the reason why you bully others without scrupulously?"

Zhang Yaoyao knew he was in a disadvantage and lowered his head again. Zhang Yongming asked again: "Where did the group of people who went to someone else's house to make trouble with you? Are you also mingling with such people at school?"

"No, dad!" Zhang Yaoyao hurriedly defended: "Gao Xiaobao! Do you still remember it? Aunt Wu's son."

Aunt Wu was once the nanny of the Zhang family. She spent the longest time in the Zhang family. It can be said that she raised Zhang Yaoyao. A few years ago, she resigned from the Zhang family on the pretext of taking care of her son. Because she was grateful for her efforts to the Zhang family, Zhang Yongming not only gave her a considerable "retirement money", but also promised her that she would like to come back in the future and the Zhang family would welcome her at any time.

I haven't seen her for several years. Zhang Yongming thought that her son had become a big climate, but he didn't expect that he would become his son's thug. Zhang Yongming asked again: "How did you contact him?"

"Her son Gao Xiaobao has retired and cannot find any serious job. Aunt Wu can't contact you, so she called my mother. My mother asked her to take her son to the house to sit, as if she wanted to arrange for him to be a courier in a logistics company. He was quite dissatisfied and stood up and left."

Zhang Yaoyao looked at his father's expression and continued, "I remember he was a Taekwondo student and the fight should be very good, so he asked him if he would be willing to vent his anger for me... He agreed."

"That's so simple?!"

"I gave him some money." Seeing that his father was angry, Zhang Yaoyao said timidly: "Aunt Wu is sick and needs money. I told him that as long as I help me breathe, I will give him two thousand yuan."

Every word my son said was a bombshell, and Zhang Yongming couldn't come back for a long time. Zhang Yaoyao was self-righteous and said, "You have to interview to find a job. If he wants to do a good job, he has to pass this level first. Humph! When Aunt Wu left our house, Gao Xiaobao won the runner-up in the city. She was quite proud, as if she could train her son as long as she went home to take care of her son, she could train him to become a world champion. These years have passed, and her son has not been trained to become a talent, but she has gained her health. It's really what my mother said, the poorer she is, the more unlucky she is!"

"Stop!" Zhang Yongming got angry rarely. Is this still the son he knows? How could he become so strange?

Before he could educate his son, his wife came back first. Gu Meirong didn't let him get angry in front of his son, so the couple came to the corridor. Zhang Yongming asked seriously: "How did our son become like this?"

Gu Meirong was very excited. When he was excited, he trembled all over and couldn't control his desire to hit someone. Zhang Yongming grabbed her hand at the right time and said, "I'm not accusing you. I'm busy with work and you are in charge of big and small things at home. I know you are working hard. But Yaoyao... how could he bully his classmates? He was still running to someone else's house to make trouble on the first day of the Lunar New Year? And what he said just now really scared me."

Gu Meirong's reaction was very cold: "It's not surprising that children of his age say anything. As long as he is safe and healthy, everything else doesn't matter to me. Don't forget that this is our lost treasure!"

More than ten years ago, Zhang Yaoyao was almost lost. The Zhang family was scared, but fortunately he was found back. But Zhang Yaoyao was frightened very much and had fever and convulsions at any time. The Zhang family worked a lot to take care of him and grow up healthily.

Thinking of the suffering of the child, Zhang Yongming felt very uncomfortable, but he was much calmer than his wife: "Even so, we should discipline us, we still have to discipline us. I am communicating with you sincerely. Yaoyao has become like this, and the responsibility lies with me. I have too little time to accompany him and I have not been able to educate him well."

He was still the same, even when he was talking about the most common topics between husband and wife, he discussed them politely with her. He was very polite, but being polite also meant being estranged.

Gu Meirong hid his loss and said, "Yaoyao has liked to play with you since he was a child, but you are often too busy to go home, so I can only accompany him. I have said a long time ago that I can't take care of the children. When I take care of him, he cried heartbrokenly. Except for following his wishes and satisfying his wishes, I can't think of a way to coax him..."

"Meirong, being a child is like killing a child. Our son will be in the college entrance examination soon. The remaining six months are very important. I will try my best to turn off my job and spend more time with him, so that he can restrain his temperament. If he is still a virtue in college and cannot make friends, he will probably be dropped out of school in less than half a year."

Gu Meirong didn't say anything anymore, as if she had agreed to what her husband said. Zhang Yongming returned to the ward and started his son's ideological work: "Zhang Yaoyao, if you caused trouble, it was because I was not educated properly, and I had to take responsibility, so I had to spend a lot of money to pay for my mistakes. You are also a man, and you have to take responsibility for your mistakes. I count to three and you come out of the bed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yaoyao lifted the quilt angrily and said angrily: "Dad, the more I think about it, the more angry I get! You are a lawyer and my dad! But why do you always turn your elbows out? I admit that I look down on him about Gao Xiaobao, and I shouldn't think that way. But I just can't swallow this to Tong Tong! You can't send him to prison?!"

"Yaoyao, trial is not about venting anger, nor about revenge. When a case is tried, it requires evidence from all parties and defense. I just made the right decision based on evidence and defense."

"Give evidence? You only listen to him and don't believe me!"

"How do you tell me to believe you? Since you were in elementary school, our complaint phone number has never stopped. It was all the parents who complained you. I would rather believe that you are a good child, but the facts do not allow it! Is so many complaints all the fault of others? Do you think you have any problems?"

Zhang Yaoyao didn't speak, and Zhang Yongming said again: "I've heard from others that you are very glorious in No. 2 Middle School. You said that our family spans the medical and judicial circles of Hong Kong City, so you are not afraid of anyone... But son, if you say this outside, it's equivalent to bragging! I'm just a lawyer, your mother is a doctor, not as good as you brag. If you study hard, it would be fine, but the key is that you still cause trouble. There are mountains outside the mountain and people outside. If you cause trouble, I may not be able to settle it for you!"

Zhang Yaoyao then felt a little scared and looked at his father begging: "But sometimes I just can't control myself, and I don't know what to do."

"You apologize to that classmate first!"

"Apology?! He hit me twice, I can't apologize to that kind of poor guy!"
