Chapter 1144: Chapter 1145: His Father Abused Him Again

Since his son was now a big lad, there was that old worry that if something unexpected happened, what if he acted on impulse?

If Little Huzi were a girl, she would definitely teach her daughter how to preserve her purity, to not take a wrong step before truly knowing and committing to someone.

Otherwise, for that one misstep, you’d pay a heavy price.

Divorce is an option, but in that case, the most hurt would be the children.

“Mom, are you thirsty?”

Meng Yunhan gave him a slightly annoyed look, “Don’t try to change the subject, your Grandfather Zhang’s health is getting worse.” Grandfather Zhang was already eighty years old, and although he had been taking care of himself all these years, he was still of old age, and thus the illnesses and pains were increasing.

“I understand.” Over the years, Little Huzi had been learning calligraphy from Grandfather Zhang, and they got along very well. Little Huzi had good stamina, which was what he relied on to learn calligraphy all these years.

As soon as Yun Hao came home in the evening, Meng Yunhan gave him a task.

“Ahao, Little Huzi isn’t so young anymore, and I’m afraid he might impulsively do something he’d regret later. It would be best if you talk to Little Huzi about it!” After all, they were both men, and it should be an easy conversation to have.

Yun Hao nodded, “Alright, I’ll talk to him about it. You lie down and rest for a while.”

These past few days his wife had had a lot of complaints against him. Naturally, he had to complete the task she had given him without any objections.

Even if Little Huzi really was at fault, he must bear his own mistakes and take responsibility for himself.

As for what Yun Hao and Little Huzi talked about privately, Meng Yunhan didn’t know. She tried to get some information out of Yun Hao, but he just wouldn’t say anything. In the end, she gave up and let it be.

“Wife, wife?”

Yun Hao pondered, now that Xiaohu had taken his high school exams, how would his wife spend the summer vacation this year?

“Wife, why don’t you go traveling with Xiaohu?”

Every summer vacation for the past few years, Meng Yunhan would take Xiaohu and Old Man Zhao on a trip.

They had visited many places, three generations together.

“Xiaohu doesn’t want me to go, he thinks I’m a nuisance.”

At these words from Meng Yunhan, Yun Hao’s face immediately fell.

“Wife, I’m going to use the restroom.”

But Yun Hao took unusually long in the restroom.

He did not return for ten minutes.

Because during those ten minutes, Yun Hao had had a physical altercation with Xiaohu – naturally, it was one-sided, with Yun Hao on the receiving end.

“Why did it take you so long?”

Yun Hao seriously replied, “Got a bit hungry, had something to eat.”

Meng Yunhan didn’t suspect anything, “Oh, I’m going to sleep.”

What Meng Yunhan didn’t know was that in a room not far away, Xiaohu was touching certain parts of his body, almost bursting into tears – his dad had mistreated him again.

Every time they “exchanged pointers,” Xiaohu would know, he must have annoyed his mom.

He took out some medicated spirits and began to rub them in.

The next morning, Meng Yunhan got up early and prepared breakfast.

“Xiaohu, Xiaohu…”

Normally Xiaohu would be up very early, but today he was nowhere to be seen.

Half asleep and utterly exhausted, Xiaohu had struggled to fall asleep until dawn after enduring pain for half the night. Now, finally in a deep sleep as morning approached, he was abruptly awakened by his mother’s voice and scrambled to get up.

But the pain throughout his body reminded him that last night was indeed a beating.

“I’m coming, I’m coming.”

Meng Yunhan thought Xiaohu was just catching up on sleep after the stress of the exams, and she didn’t make a fuss about it.
