Chapter 274: The Third Day Without Dad, Missing Him

Next came Pangpang's wailing and screaming, and not only the entire school but even the entire residential area knew that Li Qiuju had hit her child again.

Chenchen winced as he watched Pangpang's mom yank his ear.

The little child asked Su Taotao with a face full of righteous indignation:

"Mommy, why is Pangpang's mom so mean? Mommy, can you save Pangpang? Pangpang is a good kid."

Although it's pitiful that Pangpang has such a mom, even a fair judge can't easily settle family matters.

How to raise a child is up to each parent, and Su Taotao really can't interfere.

Su Taotao patted Chenchen's head: "Every mom has a different way of educating her child. Pangpang is her child, and how to raise him is her right. Mommy can't interfere."

Chenchen frowned and pouted: "Pangpang's mom is too mean!"

Dongdong clung to Xia Zhiqiu and asked: "Mom, will Pangpang be beaten when he gets home?"

Xia Zhiqiu shook her head: "I don't know."

"Taotao, Auntie Zhong mentioned her husband works at the base union. If we ask her husband to intervene, would it seem like we're meddling too much?" Xia Zhiqiu asked Su Taotao.

"Yanking her own child's ear isn't really something to report, and besides, she's no longer a staff member of our factory, so we really can't interfere.

Check with Auntie Zhong if she often beats her child. If she does, then Auntie Zhong could call the labor union and have the women's federation intervene," Su Taotao said.

Xia Zhiqiu nodded: "Okay, I'll ask Auntie Zhong tonight."

Su Taotao patted the child's head: "Don't worry, Pangpang will be okay."

...

However, the next day, Pangpang still had an accident. It was said that he fell at home and was hospitalized, unable to attend the kindergarten.

This news was told to Su Taotao by Auntie Zhong.

"Pangpang didn't show up for school this morning, and Auntie Qin got worried and decided to check on him during the break.

The neighbor mentioned Pangpang took a fall this morning, went to the hospital for stitches, and there was no one at home. Auntie Qin didn't see anyone."

Su Taotao spun her pen thoughtfully and asked Auntie Zhong: "What do you think about this?"

Auntie Zhong thought for a moment and said: "Li Qiuju has a bit of a temper, and it's normal to scold or spank a child once in a while. Which parent doesn't scold or spank their child? Uncle Mu was a real troublemaker as a kid and got his share of spankings.

But even the fiercest tiger wouldn't harm its own cub. To say she would seriously harm Pangpang, that shouldn't be the case."

After saying this, Auntie Zhong came back to her senses: "No, your kids are as good as gold, you really don't need to scold or hit them. Dongdong is also well-behaved, and Zhiqiu doesn't need to scold or hit her children.

Our Uncle Mu was a real handful, even more so when he was a child, and even Old Mo, with his easygoing nature, sometimes lost his patience with him."

Su Taotao said: "Most parents know when to stop when disciplining their kids, and you wouldn't really hurt Uncle Mu.

But some parents don't know when to stop. Although this has nothing to do with our factory, you should still pay a little attention. Pangpang is a good kid, and we should lend a hand if we can."

Auntie Zhong nodded: "Okay, I got it. I'll keep an eye on it."

During class, Chenchen noticed that Pangpang wasn't in class and waited until the break to ask Dongdong:

"Dongdong~~ Is Pangpang like me~~ does he often skip class~~"

Dongdong shook his head: "No, Pangpang really likes school, he comes every day."

The twins heard and nodded too, Feng Caihong said:

"Yes, Pangpang said he doesn't like being at home with his mom around, he likes coming to school to play with us the most."

Pangpang's deskmate chimed in: "Pangpang's mom is really strict, she often hits Pangpang, last time she hit him so hard his butt got swollen, he cried in pain every time he sat down."

Chenchen asked: "Why does Pangpang's mom hit him~~"

Pangpang's deskmate shook his head and said: "I don't know, but Pangpang often gets hit, there's a bruise on his back, I've seen it."

Chenchen thought about it, he had never seen Pangpang's injuries, Pangpang always smiled and didn't seem like someone who gets beaten.

"What should we do~~ We need to help Pangpang~~"

Pangpang's deskmate wondered: "Don't your moms ever hit you? My mom spanks me too, but it's not hard, my butt doesn't get swollen, and my back doesn't get bruised."

Chenchen, Dongdong, and the twins all shook their heads together.

Chenchen said: "My mom never hits anyone~~ and never yells~~"

Dongdong said: "I'm well-behaved, so my mom never hits me, and even when my dad gets really mad at me, he doesn't hit me."

Feng Caihong asked: "How do you make your dad mad?"

Dongdong shrugged: "I don't really make him mad, I just call him dumb, he's a dad but he doesn't know how to do anything, Chenchen's dad knows how to do everything, but he can't do anything, I'm just stating the facts, if he gets mad, there's nothing I can do."

Chenchen tilted his little head and said:

"There are things I can do that you can't~~ what my dad can do, your dad can't~~

But I didn't say you're dumb~~ mom says~~ everyone has their own strengths~~

It's not nice to call someone dumb~~ even if they are, you shouldn't say it~~"

Dongdong: "..." You might as well call me dumb.

The kids quickly got distracted and started talking about other things, temporarily forgetting that Pangpang didn't come to school.

Chenchen has a good memory and kept thinking about it, during lunch, Chenchen told Su Taotao what he heard at school.

"Mom~~ can you help Pangpang~~ Guo Guo said Pangpang's mom often hits him~~ his butt gets swollen~~ oh right~~ Guo Guo is Pangpang's deskmate~~"

Su Taotao said: "Okay, mom can ask someone to look into it, but it's not appropriate for mom to get directly involved, can Chenchen understand what mom means?"

Chenchen nodded: "I know~~ mom~~ would you hit Chenchen~~"

Su Taotao patted his little head: "Our Chenchen is so good, I love him too much to hit him."

Chenchen sighed: "Even when Dongdong is naughty~~ Uncle Zhang doesn't hit him~~ Uncle Zhang is a bit clueless~~ but he's actually really nice~~"

Su Taotao: "?" Uncle Zhang is clueless? A university graduate from the 60s, and a key researcher, you say he's clueless?

Just then the child said again: "If he were as smart as my dad~~ Dongdong wouldn't have to worry~~"

The third day without dad at home, missing him.

Su Taotao: "..."
