Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space-Chapter 502 - 386: Better to Make Friends Than Enemies

Chapter 502: Chapter 386: Better to Make Friends Than Enemies

Mother Zhang saw her younger son calmly staying with them, "Aren’t you going back? Is Jiao Jiao and Ping’an being home alone okay?"

National Day shook his head, "Our family’s land is safe. I’ll check on Xi Zi and the others before leaving."

More than half an hour passed, and National Day was still chatting with Mr. Zhang.

Eldest Zhang and Xi Zi came back with the others, followed closely by Zhang the Second.

"Why did you all come back together?" Mother Zhang asked curiously.

The four sons of Guo Fu laughed happily upon seeing Mr. Zhang, Mother Zhang, and National Day.

"Uncle, I’ve been waiting for you."

"Uncle, it’s been eleven days since I last saw you."

National Day laughed heartily, "Seems like school is really good, remembering it’s been eleven days. So, what do you three little guys want? Want to go home with Uncle?"

Xi Zi frowned and looked at his grandparents, then at his younger brothers staring at him, finally shaking his head, "We’ll go to your place during the holiday. Grandpa and Grandma just returned, I can’t bear to leave."

National Day affectionately patted his head, "Uncle always knew Xi Zi is a filial child and a model brother. No need to wait for the holiday, come whenever you want. How’s the food at school? Why are you three so thin? But I see Ziwen and the others haven’t lost weight?"

The three brothers of Xi Zi looked aggrievedly at Huang Cuilan.

Seeing this, National Day smiled, "You can’t look at your mother like that, outsiders might misunderstand. Your mom just came to the city, maybe she got something wrong, you should give her some time. If something doesn’t feel right, you can voice your opinion, but don’t be disrespectful. Look, not only are you thin, your mom is thin too."

Huang Cuilan looked at National Day gratefully.

National Day didn’t need her gratitude, he just didn’t want the children to forget their duties as children. If a person can’t learn to respect their own parents, who would they respect?

"At first, they ate at the school cafeteria when the stoves were being set up, I didn’t notice. Xi Zi and the others were shy, too scared to eat. I went to their school to talk to the teachers."

National Day immediately stopped smiling, the issue was more serious than he thought. What kind of temperament does Xi Zi have? How could he be shy?

He thought about it and asked, "Are you being bullied by older kids at school?"

Xi Zi hesitated for a moment and then shook his head.

National Day sighed. For the sake of Ping’an, he’s been racking his brain, not realizing there were three problem children here.

"Xi Zi, Uncle is telling you. Being bullied is not shameful, not daring to speak up when bullied is. Tell Uncle the truth, what’s going on? Don’t be afraid, did you forget what your second uncle does?

If that person is too much, your second uncle will immediately take him to the station and lock him up for a day. It doesn’t matter how capable or powerful he is, his reputation will be ruined, and his life will be ruined.

Do you know what that means? We don’t bully others, but in this county, nobody dares to bully the Old Zhang’s family."

Zhang the Second nodded, "Your uncle is right. We don’t use power to bully others, but also, nobody should think they can walk over us. Speak up if there’s something wrong, don’t be afraid."

Xi Zi hesitated for a while, looking at Mr. Zhang, Mother Zhang, and his parents, "The three of us got into a fight with someone, and it wasn’t our fault, but my mom still hit us. The person’s name is Li Daguang, his dad is a cadre. At school, he loves to bully rural students, loves to bully students from poor families.

The teacher said he was even more aggressive and used candies to bribe other students to keep us from eating, deliberately knocking over our lunch boxes."

National Day was quite surprised, such kids still exist nowadays.

"Are you afraid because his dad is a cadre?"

Xi Zi shook his head, "I’m not afraid of that. My aunt’s dad is a general."

National Day couldn’t help but laugh.

"So how are you handling it? What’s the situation now? Or how do you plan to get back at him?" He didn’t believe this kid didn’t have a plan.

Xi Zi hesitated, but under National Day’s encouraging gaze, he spoke, "A few classmates who also got bullied and I plan to unite and beat him up. But they’re all afraid of Li Daguang, since his mom is a tigress. I thought I’d hold back for now and beat him up when no one is around, that way nobody would know."

National Day stopped Zhang the Second from speaking, he thought and asked, "Uncle wants to ask you a question. If Li Daguang wasn’t at school anymore, would you transfer or continue your studies? Xiao Zuo, you should also think about it."

The three brothers answered without hesitation, "Transfer."

National Day nodded. No wonder the three brothers blamed their mom. This school is in the suburban rural area, nothing compared to the county elementary he could contact.

"Next semester, you’ll all transfer to the county elementary. It’s a secret for now, understood? Now let’s discuss the Li Daguang issue. Second Brother, is it Fatty Li? His wife is famous as the tigress because she relies on him being the militia captain." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Zhang the Second laughed halfway through, and seeing the family confused except for National Day, he said, "What does Xiao Wu do? Did you all forget? Xi Zi, did you tell Li Daguang that your uncle is Xiao Wu National Day?"

Xi Zi thought for a moment and shook his head, "Classmates only know my dad works at the grain store, and I have a second uncle and an uncle, but I don’t know what my second uncle and uncle do."

Zhang the Second smiled and patted his head, "Silly boy, you just need to tell Li Daguang in front of everyone that your uncle is Xiao Wu National Day, and he’s done for. He’ll definitely apologize to you."

"Second Brother, don’t corrupt the kids. Your second uncle is teasing you. You can say your second uncle is Zhang Guoqiang from the bureau, he won’t dare touch you. Why? That’s authority. But you guys are still young, you don’t need to understand these things. Just remember what Grandpa and Grandma usually teach you, and if you’re bullied, don’t foolishly think of going all out with others. If you beat him secretly? What if you can’t beat him? What if you accidentally hurt yourself? Foolish!"

Zhang the Second asked him, "Xiao Wu, what do you plan to do? Want to teach Fatty Li a lesson to vent for Xi Zi and the others?"

National Day shook his head with a smile, "This is a kids’ war, let’s see what Xi Zi and the others want. Since their parents haven’t stepped in, we shouldn’t either."

Zhang the Second nodded knowingly.

Xi Zi immediately said, "Uncle, I know what to do. Tomorrow, I’ll tell him my uncle is Xiao Wu National Day. If he still bullies me, I’ll go to his dad. If his dad doesn’t respect you, like Second Uncle said, then you’ll sort him out."

National Day rubbed his nose and said awkwardly, "Ask your Grandpa, if he says okay, then it’s okay."

Mr. Zhang smiled, "No need for that trouble. Tomorrow, have your Grandma take you to their house. Once she’s there, it’ll be settled. It’s better to end feuds. But kids with such character, you three brothers shouldn’t associate closely with him in the future. And when outside, don’t go around boasting about your uncle."

After discussing the solution, Mother Zhang asked Huang Cuilan to quickly serve the dishes. She was relieved, as long as her daughter-in-law wasn’t feeding her own family and starving the kids. As for that tigress, she’ll have her toeing the line.
