Chapter 1571: Chapter 1571: Courtyard Life (23)

So, the leaders unanimously decided that once Sister-in-law Tang recovered, they would have Tang Jun discharged. Tang Jun had no idea what the leaders were planning. When he received the call asking him to go to the hospital, saying Sister-in-law Tang was hospitalized, he was quite annoyed and didn’t want to go at all.

If it weren’t for his teammates urging him, he’d still be delaying. Upon arriving at the hospital, when the doctor mentioned Sister-in-law Tang’s injury was very serious and she needed to be hospitalized for a while, he immediately regretted it.

Had he known, he should have sent her away in the morning.

After getting an IV, Sister-in-law Tang quickly regained consciousness but appeared as if she were hovering between life and death. She felt that living was meaningless. Her husband treated her poorly, and her son was unfilial.

She felt fed up with living like this, contemplating that death might be better. The army wives came in to see her, but she stayed silent, as if they were invisible.

Given this, initially, the wives had planned to come and take care of her for a few days. After all, she was a part of the family. But seeing her attitude, they abandoned the idea.

With their time, why should they undertake such thankless and tiring tasks? Without anyone caring for her, the unit leaders instructed Tang Jun to take leave.

Consequently, Tang Jun resented Sister-in-law Tang even more. If not for being in the hospital, he would have hit her again. With Sister-in-law Tang hospitalized, the naughty child was left unchecked and indulged even further. He started snatching things from both children and adults.

One day, he saw Jiang Xue carrying groceries and some fruit, and he was green with envy. Taking advantage of Jiang Xue not noticing, he attempted to snatch the bag of apples from her hand.

However, Jiang Xue had already anticipated this, so before he got close, she raised the items to a height the naughty child couldn’t reach.

Failing to snatch the items, the naughty child hurled a stream of curses at Jiang Xue. His words were incredibly offensive, infuriating Jiang Xue.

Should she argue? He is just a child. Ignore him? Yet, his words were truly vulgar. In the end, Jiang Xue didn’t do anything to the naughty child, considering she was also holding groceries and a child.

Back home, Jiang Xue put the items away and placed Little Reunion into the space before heading downstairs again. Then in the yard, she caught the naughty child and pulled him aside for some moral education.

The naughty child was thoroughly unruly, going as far as kicking Jiang Xue and even spitting at her.

Seeing this, Jiang Xue realized this was it. If the naughty child wasn’t educated now, his life would truly be ruined. So, she decided to teach him a good lesson. Jiang Xue targeted spots that would hurt but cause no real harm.

After a round of discipline, the naughty child cried out loud in pain, his mouth spewing more filthy words. The more he cursed, the more Jiang Xue instructed him. In the end, the naughty child finally calmed down and stopped.

"Do you understand your mistake?" Jiang Xue asked with a smile.

The naughty child glared at her, refusing to speak. He would never admit he was wrong. Moreover, he didn’t think he was wrong.

Seeing the naughty child’s silence, Jiang Xue pretended to discipline him again. At the thought of the recent pain, the naughty child immediately became submissive and grudgingly replied, "I know I was wrong."

Jiang Xue could clearly see the naughty child’s insincerity but didn’t care. At least he was willing to speak up and admit his mistake, which was a positive sign.

So, she let the naughty child go home. But unexpectedly, he didn’t go home; he went to the leaders’ office and directly reported Jiang Xue.
