Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

"How is that possible? Am I a good-tempered person? If I don't beat him, I'd be unworthy of the beatings I received as a child." Sha Zhu said as he looked at Liuyi who was sleeping soundly.

"You just said you can hit, but wouldn't hitting affect the child's growth?"

"When did I say we can't beat them? I meant we can't beat them outside, we can't beat them indiscriminately, and we can't beat them to death. If we don't beat them or teach them a lesson like Bang Geng, they will become a disaster sooner or later."

"I think your father beat you too much when you were a child, and you just want to find someone to vent your anger."

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "With that big horse-faced guy in the backyard, why would I need to find someone to vent my anger on? I'm talking about educating the child. I won't beat him if he doesn't make a mistake. And I won't beat him for every mistake. For small mistakes made unintentionally, a lecture is enough. For intentional mistakes, severe criticism is required. If there are problems with integrity and world outlook, then beating is a must. Children need to learn to fear. Knowing to fear means they know what mistakes they can't make. It's said that 'a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger'. Is that a good thing? It's not afraid of a tiger as if the tiger will be afraid of it. The tiger won't be afraid of it, it will only eat it. This is the result of not having fear, and there is no chance to repent and start over. Just like Bang Geng now, even if he performs well in the work-study school and reforms himself, when he arrives in a new place, how will people look at him when they know he has been to the work-study school? Will they think he was young and ignorant and has now changed and will always be a good person in the future? Or will they think that although he has made some reforms, there is still the possibility of problems?"

"Yes, people must not make mistakes. One wrong step can have disastrous consequences. As the old saying goes, 'One misstep can lead to eternal regret, and when you look back you are already a hundred years old.' I have clearly learned all the tricks, but...ah." Yu Li sighed.

"It's useless for Banggeng to want to learn well. His friends and people around him don't want to learn well, so he will naturally be dragged back by the bad friends he made before. Now that he has entered a work-study school, it will be even harder for him to learn well in the future." Shazhu curled his lips and said, "Birds of a feather flock together. It's not easy to learn well, but it's easy to learn bad things. So we must pay attention to the friends our son makes in the future. He must not play with problematic people like Waimao and Taobao."

"Okay, I'll leave Liuyi's education to you from now on. I'm relieved." Yu Li was unceremoniously prepared to be a hands-off boss.

"That's right. I'm his father. You have nothing to worry about."

Those who have children worry about how their children will grow up, while those who don’t have children worry about why they can’t get pregnant?

Xu Damao panted, touched Qin Jingru's belly, and said, "I think you should be able to get pregnant this time. I spent so much money, took so many medicines, and wasted my energy countless times, why can't you get pregnant?"

"Don't worry, Damao. I feel like I can definitely get pregnant this time. Just wait for the good news."

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Haha, I hope it works this time. If you hadn't been pregnant before, I would have suspected that you were a hen that couldn't lay eggs like Lou Xiao'e."

"How is that possible? Each of my sisters has given birth to several children." Qin Jingru was extremely confident in her women's ability to give birth. She said with a little pride: "Let's not talk about the distant past. Take my cousin Qin Huairu for example. She has three children. If her husband hadn't died early, she would probably be pregnant with her fourth child by now."

"And a fourth one? With his family's financial situation, it's hard enough to raise three, let alone four. You don't know how Jia Dongxu died, do you?" Xu Damao suddenly came to his senses and said, "Oh, that's not right. What did you mean by that? Your family members can all have children, but you can't. So there's something wrong with me."

"No, no, there's no way it's you who has a problem. It could be that fate hasn't arrived yet, and God hasn't found a rich and powerful child to be born into our family." Qin Jingru didn't dare to say that Xu Damao had a problem. Not to mention whether Xu Damao would be angry because of the issue of men's dignity, once he thought about the previous fake pregnancy, he would be exposed, and then there would be no other way out except divorce. Qin Jingru couldn't dwell on this matter, so she asked, "What's the matter with what you just said about the cause of Jia Dongxu's death?"

"Of course, Jia Dongxu, the pervert, died in his wife's belly."

"That's not right. Didn't he die in an accident while working at the steel mill?"

"Hey, I told you that he died in Qin Huairu's belly and you still didn't believe it." Xu Damao slapped Qin Jingru on the butt and said, "This is the punishment for you for not trusting your man. Jia Dongxu did die in the steel mill, but if he had a clear mind at that position, there would be no accident. You also know that there was a shortage of food in the years when he had the accident. He didn't eat or drink during the day and worked hard at night, which drained his body. Even if he didn't have an accident in the factory, he would have had an accident somewhere else sooner or later." Xu Damao thought to himself: Fortunately, I withdrew early, otherwise I would have followed in Jia Dongxu's footsteps.

"How do you know he was fighting hard at night? Did you listen to him?"

"Why listen? Just calculate when your little niece Huaihua was born, and you'll know. If he didn't try his best, Huaihua wouldn't appear out of thin air?" As Xu Damao was talking about others, he caressed Qin Jingru in his arms, and his mood became excited again. Just as he was about to get on the horse, Qin Jingru said, "Just now I said that Jia Dongxu died because of his lust. You haven't learned your lesson yet."

Xu Damao raised his lips and said, "What am I afraid of? I eat and drink well, and my body is much stronger than that damn ghost. I will let you know how powerful I am right away."

A minute later, Xu Damao, who was panting, shivered with satisfaction and closed his sleepy eyes contentedly.

Qin Jingru looked at Xu Damao who was snoring slowly with a face full of resentment: "You bastard, you are always neither good nor bad, and you still have the nerve to criticize others. If I were not young and ignorant, and you had not cheated me of my body, I would never have found a useless silver-plated gun head like you. Alas, one misstep will lead to eternal regret.

Qin Jingru got up and drank half a cup of boiled water before lying back on the bed and slowly falling asleep.

The next morning, Xu Damao saw Qin Jingru taking the things that women use when they are unlucky to go to the toilet, and cursed: "Bah, you made me waste my time twice again." When Qin Jingru came back, Xu Damao asked: "What's wrong with you? Don't you know that it's coming soon? This is like a blind man lighting a lamp in vain!"

"I don't know either. It's obviously still a few days before my bad luck comes. Who knows what's going on?" Qin Jingru covered her stomach and said, "Da Mao, my stomach hurts so much. Can you give me a bowl of brown sugar water?"

"Why do you need to make brown sugar water? I'm in a hurry to go to work. If you want to make it, do it yourself. It's not like you have broken arms and legs and can't work." Xu Damao said angrily, slammed the door and left.

Qin Jingru looked at the shaking door with tears in her eyes and whispered, "It's all my fault for not knowing the value of opium and mistaking it for a good medicine. If I had listened to my cousin and married Sha Zhu, I would not only have a son but also be the director's wife. I don't know if I still have a chance now."
