Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Little Moon was very confused by her mother's words.

My mother obviously enjoys eating meat so much, isn't this more harmful than the harm she causes to small animals?

Lin Chan patiently explained the difference between eating meat and abusing animals.

Eating meat, beef, mutton, and pork, is a tradition passed down by human ancestors for thousands of years.

With the development of human civilization, eating meat has become a necessity. People who do not eat meat will have unbalanced nutrition.

When humans kill animals for food, they try to minimize their suffering.

But animal abuse is different. The purpose of abusing animals is to enjoy the pleasure of abusing them and to maximize the animals' pain. This is fundamentally different from killing animals for meat.

You abuse animals. Is this what your ancestors passed on to you?

Pigs are killed in slaughterhouses using electric shock, and the process takes less than a second.

The pigs died before they even had time to feel the pain.

But what about killing cats and dogs? They are beaten with sticks, stabbed with knives, strangled with ropes, scalded with boiling water, and the process can be as short as a few minutes or as long as dozens of minutes. There is no humanity at all.

The reason why humans call themselves a higher species is that they have a compassionate heart.

This is the bottom line of human nature. Once you cross the red line, you are no different from an animal.

Little Yueyue seemed to understand, but these questions were undoubtedly very complicated for her, who was only a few months old.

Lin Chan didn't expect Xiaoyueliang to understand things now, but at least she could know that her previous behavior was wrong.

The cultivation of children should start from childhood. Chen Xu was very satisfied watching this scene.

The higher the IQ of a person, the greater the harm that can be caused by his or her distorted values. For a gifted person like Xiaoyueliang, if he or she grows up in a distorted way, he or she will be a real disaster.

Lin Chan is a good daughter-in-law and a good mother.

Chen Xu was a little complacent about marrying a virtuous woman, and completely forgot that when he first set his sights on Lin Chan, he was simply attracted by her beauty.

Having said that, Xiaoyueliang's growth is faster than Chen Xu imagined. In addition to crawling very fast, this little girl can already walk.

Unfortunately, like all children, little Yueyue refuses to walk once there are adults around, and raises her little paws to ask for a hug.

Chen Xu and Lin Chan would not object to their daughter's small request.

To the two of them, the weight of the little moon was almost nothing.

Your own daughter should be educated when it is necessary, and pampered when it is necessary.

The steel mill became even busier after resuming production. The workers were in high spirits, but there were complaints in the canteen.

Now workers need to work overtime, which means their wages will increase, but the canteen will have to prepare one more meal.

Although the steel rolling mill has several canteens, for a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, preparing one more meal is a big challenge.

However, this had no effect on Chen Xu. He still reported to the steel mill when he had time, and was too lazy to go if he didn't want to.

Anyway, the purchasing department only looks at the results. It doesn’t matter if you don’t go to the steel mill once a week, as long as the results are presentable at the end of the month.

This is why Chen Xu chose the purchasing department.

Half a month after the flood.

The general meeting of the Siheyuan was opened again.

The subdistrict office still took the lead. Director Wang stood on the steps and announced the verdicts on Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai, and Jia Zhang.

Yi Zhonghai was caught having affairs with a woman and was sentenced to ten years of reform through labor. However, because he had already served one year in advance and had excellent performance, he was ultimately sentenced to eight years of reform through labor.

After Director Wang finished speaking, there was silence. It was obvious that the Siheyuan had nothing to do with Yi Zhonghai now, as his only daughter-in-law had remarried.

It can be said that even if Yi Zhonghai could come back, there would be no place for him in the Siheyuan anymore.

Everyone looked at Li Xiulan, and He Daqing protected his wife behind him like a man.

"Why are you looking at me? Yi Zhonghai has nothing to do with us..."

Director Wang nodded. Yi Zhonghai indeed had nothing to do with the Siheyuan, so they skipped it and let the subdistrict office keep the judgment temporarily.

Next was Jia Zhang, who also had promiscuous relationships with both men and women, but the only difference was that she was a widow. In addition, Jia Zhang was very shameless and put a bunch of bad things on Yi Zhonghai's head, claiming that it was Yi Zhonghai who seduced her.

Yi Zhonghai naturally tried his best to deny it, as what happened back then could no longer be explained.

In the end, Jia Zhang was slightly better off. His eight years of labor reform have now been extended to seven years, which is not much better than Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu stood out from the crowd and took the verdict from Director Wang. Her face was calm and no one knew what she was thinking.

In fact, Qin Huairu is now a little worried that her family will be implicated. After all, she has a mother-in-law who is in labor reform, and she doesn't know whether it will affect the future prospects of the three children in the family.

But fortunately it’s just my mother-in-law, and my husband is dead, so the child is with the mother now, so it shouldn’t be that serious.

But Qin Huairu was obviously unsure, and didn't know who to ask about this matter, so she could only keep it in her heart for the time being.

Finally, it’s Sha Zhu that everyone is concerned about.

In fact, at that time, everyone in the courtyard just thought that Shazhu was just a stubborn person who was talking nonsense. At most, he would be released after being locked up for a few days.

But everyone ignored the fact that Sha Zhu already had a criminal record, and it was very serious if he refused to change his ways despite repeated admonitions. Even small matters would be dealt with severely in this era.

Fortunately, Sha Zhu's performance in the past year or so was also excellent, which directly reduced his labor reform sentence by more than two years. According to the three-year sentence he should have been sentenced to, he will be released in at most half a year.

This news made He Daqing breathe a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Sha Zhu would be sentenced to ten or eight years in prison like Yi Zhonghai. That would be the end of him. God knew whether his son would be able to come back after that long.

Chen Xu was a little confused. He thought Sha Zhu would be sentenced to more than five years, but it was only three years.

But when I think about it, this idiot was sentenced to three years in prison for just one sentence. It seems like a heavy sentence.

Although it is better than the one who was sentenced to several years for eating dumplings without vinegar...

The biggest reason why Sha Zhu was only sentenced to three years was his outstanding performance over the past year. He Daqing's words "Dad will wait for you to come back" obviously gave Sha Zhu the motivation to live.

Everyone in the Siheyuan had different expressions. Sha Zhu's image in the Siheyuan had never been very good, only slightly better than Jia Zhang's, and not much better.

The three-year sentence was beyond most people's expectations.

He Daqing took the verdict with a heavy expression, but he was actually very happy in his heart, thinking that he was right to only let Yu Shui break up the engagement.

There is hope now that my son is back. As long as I am here, that bastard Sha Zhu will never cause any trouble again, right?

Chen Xu looked around and didn't see Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e. The two of them rarely returned to the courtyard during this period, so they should be at Lou's house.

After all, Lou Xiao'e's belly is getting bigger now, and the conditions of the Lou family are obviously much better than those of the Siheyuan.

Even if Lou Bancheng didn't like Xu Damao, he shouldn't have been so harsh on his grandson.

In this case, it is normal to take the daughter home to take care of the pregnancy, not to mention that there is still a mother in the Lou family.

Chen Xu never underestimated Lou's mother.

Chen Xu would definitely not believe that the woman who could stand out among the many concubines and stay with Lou Bancheng after the death of his wife was a naive person like Lou Xiao'e.

What's more, he is the direct descendant of Tan's cuisine, which is much more orthodox than the so-called descendant of Tan's cuisine like He Daqing.

For example, if Lou's mother opened a hotel, she could legitimately hang a sign that sold Tan's cuisine, but if He Daqing did so, he would be criticized to death unless he got permission from his direct descendants.

This is the difference.
