Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Being Beaten for Stealing Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Being Beaten for Stealing “Da Bao, are you hungry?” Yun Xiaoxiao carried Da Bao towards her room, laid him on the bed, and then lit the kerosene lamp. “Mom, if Dad were home, no one would dare to come in and steal things.” Da Bao wanted his father to come home early so that his mother wouldn’t have to be scared anymore. What Da Bao didn’t see was the scene of his mother beating Wang Laowu, thinking that his mother had been frightened. “Mom’s not scared. I’ll sleep with you,” Da Bao thought. With his father not at home, he was the biggest man in the house and should stay by his mother’s side to keep her from being afraid. She scared? Scared of what? She was not scared at all. “Okay, I’m going to check on Xiao Bao. You go to sleep first.” Da Bao pulled up the quilt and lay down. He saw his mother take the kerosene lamp to the next room. It was a while before she came back to bed. Meanwhile, over at the Zhao Family Village Team headquarters, the team doctor was woken up to take a look at Wang Laowu, who had been beaten until he lost consciousness. “Team Leader, in the middle of the night, Wang Laowu appeared in Educated Youth Yun’s house and got beaten up like this. We really need to investigate properly,” the Party Secretary had been called over as well and came to the team headquarters with a flashlight, looking at the unconscious Wang Laowu with disdain. Creeping into a female comrade’s house in the dead of night, this was sleazy no matter how you looked at it. Such an incident happening within the team couldn’t just be ignored as if it hadn’t happened. Moreover, it had occurred at the team leader’s daughter-in-law’s house. Captain Zhao would not treat this matter as if it had never happened. Thinking about how this incident might affect their Zhao Family Village Team. Then thinking about his own Laosan, who was impulsive, and fearing that upon learning of this, he might go straight for breaking Wang Laowu’s leg. It might be better to send Wang Laowu in. While Wang Laowu had not yet awakened, Wang Laowu’s parents had already found their way to the team headquarters. “Laowu, Laowu, who beat you, who did this to my boy?” “Laowu, Laowu...” Even though Wang Laowu’s parents knew what kind of person their son was, he was, after all, their son. Facing their wailing and sobbing, both Captain Zhao and the Party Secretary kept cold expressions. “Wang Laowu was caught stealing and got a beating,” Captain Zhao said in a cool voice. He didn’t mention that it was Laosan’s Wife who had beaten him. It would affect Laosan’s Wife’s reputation. At this revelation, both Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang were utterly dumbfounded. Their son got beaten for stealing? But to Mrs. Wang, even unreasonableness could be argued into some semblance of reason. “My son just stole a little something, but they beat him to this extent! Son, if you go, how am I to live...” She was putting on quite the act. The Zhao Family Village Team, of course, had more people with the surname Zhao. Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang had come in the past as famine refugees. “When it gets light, send him straight to the Public Security,” Captain Zhao said irritably, not wanting to hear Mrs. Wang’s continued wailing, he stated the final decision. Upon hearing the decision, both Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang looked quite distressed. “That person nearly beat my son to death, and you still want to send him to Public Security, what a cruel heart you have...” “Heavenly Father, the team leader and the Party Secretary have such cruel hearts...” Captain Zhao turned to the Party Secretary, “It’s late, you go back to sleep first, I’ll handle things here.” No matter how much Mrs. Wang made a fuss. “Getting on in years...” Yun Xiaoxiao didn’t know about the happenings over there. The next morning, she woke up early and her gaze fell on the little face sleeping soundly beside her, still too thin, but seemingly a bit whiter. She got up, planning to cook, and when she opened the door, she saw Mrs. Zhao in the courtyard.
