Chapter 1377: This Boy's Words Hit the Nail on the Head

Regiment Commander Ye patted his son's shoulder: "Whether you did it on purpose or not, the date cake in Genhong's hand fell to the ground; you bear responsibility. A mistake is a mistake; we cannot evade it. What do you say?"

Ye Fengze nodded and said, "Dad, I was wrong."

Having spoken, he walked before Xu Genhong: "Xu Genhong, I am sorry; it was wrong of me to bump into you. Rest assured, I will bring you something delicious from home later."

Xu Genhong glanced at the date cake on the ground, crushed into fragments by someone's foot, and ultimately forgave Ye Fengze.

Now Tian Jianping would not have it: "Xu Genhong, it was clearly Ye Fengze who bumped into you; you dare not trouble him, so you vent your anger on me. You are bullying people."

As soon as he spoke these words, everyone's gaze inevitably turned to Regiment Commander Ye and his son.

For a moment, Regiment Commander Ye also felt extremely embarrassed; he had to admit that this boy's words hit the nail on the head.

Parents who had received the news also squeezed in at this moment.

Du Lancao saw that her dear son's face had been scratched and disfigured: "Son, how did this happen to you?"

Tian Jianping was different from the other children; he did not immediately tattle, but kept staring at Xu Genhong, wanting to see what he would say.

Xu Genhong felt extremely uncomfortable under the stare; then he saw his mother, Wang Danggui, squeeze in: "Son, what exactly is going on here?"

Xu Genhong did not lie; he recounted the matter exactly as it happened, and after speaking, he lowered his head.

Du Lancao could not unleash her fury on a child, so she turned to Xu Genhong's mother, Wang Danggui: "Sister Wang, your son's hand was too ruthless; if it had gone up a bit higher, my son would have been disfigured. Your family must give an explanation for this matter."

While speaking, she also pulled her son into her arms: "This is truly bullying people."

Her words were a double entendre: first, demanding the Xu family give an explanation, and second, speaking to Regiment Commander Ye, since his son's actions were the cause that led to the result of her son being scratched; but regardless, it was no reason for Xu Genhong to attack her son without distinguishing right from wrong.

Xu Genhong naturally realized he had caused trouble, but what he did not expect was that his mother's next words drenched him with cold water: "Lancao, you know my family's situation; we simply cannot produce anything as an apology. If you are still angry in your hearts, then have your son beat him back; anyway, my Genhong can take a beating very well."

This woman, who looked somewhat timid, turned out to be a master of combat.

If she had not said to beat him back, Du Lancao might have truly thought that way; but since the words were spoken openly, everyone cares about face, and it is a matter among several children; how could they truly beat him back?

In the end, it was Regiment Commander Ye, as the leader, who made a statement: "In a moment, my Fengze will send some brown sugar over to you; consider it my Fengze's apology."

Having spoken, he pulled his own son forward to apologize solemnly to the other party, and only then was the matter settled.

Chuxue, who had watched the entire play, had many thoughts; it was all caused by poverty.

Seeing the matter resolved, Regiment Commander Ye said to the onlookers: "Alright, everyone, please disperse."

After the people dispersed, Mo Ruhua took her allotted share and prepared to go home: "It is truly a pity; the weather is too hot, and this date cake cannot be stored for too long; Shen Kaiyuan has missed his chance for good fortune."

Seeing that everyone had left, Yanwan also hurried back to the kitchen to clean up.

For a moment, only Chuxue and her husband remained; then Chuxue spoke: "Yan Cheng, I still need to bring out those few kimchi recipes. In a few days, when you return to the unit after your leave is cancelled, talk with the leaders above and see if they want to try it. If this succeeds, it can solve the employment issues for many military wives."
