Chapter 191: 185. Old Huo was scolded harshly by Grandpa (3)

An hour ago, Huo Feng rode his electric scooter to the doorstep of Shen Jianhua’s house.

At that time, Huo Feng was feeling very dejected. When he got to Shen Jianhua, he hugged him directly and said, "Grandpa, you have to help me..."

Ever since Huo Feng had grown taller than 1.7 meters as he aged, he had hardly acted so coquettishly with Shen Jianhua.

This hug, this plea for help, it truly delighted Shen Jianhua.

Thus, Shen Jianhua personally accompanied Huo Feng to Mingzhu Building to pack up his belongings, preparing to take Huo Feng home.

In the course of events, Shen Jianhua learned a thing or two from Huo Feng.

Naturally, Shen Jianhua was on Huo Feng’s side!

Not only that, but Shen Jianhua also thought there was something wrong with Huo Mingshan’s brain!

A girl so excellent, one that he himself liked very much, yet his son was pursuing her and he actually disapproved!

If it had been Shen Jianhua, wouldn’t he have taken advantage of his identity as a homeroom teacher to give his son a push?

Being close to water gives you first access to the moon, if he didn’t act now to win over a good girl, later all the good girls would be taken by others.

Thus, while Shen Jianhua felt sorry for Huo Feng, he was also angry with Huo Mingshan.

Adhering to the principle of "spoiling Huo Feng for a lifetime" as a great-grandfather, Shen Jianhua had to take up the cudgels for Huo Feng!

So at this moment, facing Huo Mingshan, who was driven by his grandson and himself to desperation, Shen Jianhua felt mentally and physically relieved.

And he still wasn’t planning to deal with Huo Mingshan, focusing only on packing Huo Feng’s suitcase.

Huo Mingshan, having no other choice, continued to plead, "Dad, you can’t just listen to Xiaofeng’s side of the story. He really made a mistake, that’s why I spoke to him, and besides, I wasn’t harsh, just verbally reprimanded him and didn’t do anything to him ah."

"Isn’t verbal reprimand enough?"

Hearing this, Shen Jianhua couldn’t hold back and retorted Huo Mingshan.

"Dad, you know Xiaofeng’s personality."

Huo Mingshan, restraining his patience, said, "I can’t just ignore his mistakes. As an elder, it’s no big deal to scold him a few times, really there’s no need for you to intervene."

Shen Jianhua gave a heavy "hmph," pointed a finger at Huo Mingshan, and while counting down his faults, reproached him, "If I don’t intervene, should I let my grandson be bullied by you indefinitely? You think I don’t know what happened to him at school? Isn’t it just pursuing a girl? What’s so abnormal about chasing a girl at this age? When my daughter was his age, weren’t you mixing up with her too!"

"Dad..."

Huo Mingshan furrowed his brows, "This situation is different."

"How is it different?"

Shen Jianhua answered him, "When you were my daughter’s age and made advances towards her, haven’t you thought you were wrong? Your son starts chasing girls at this age, and you think he’s wrong? Whose side is your heart leaning towards? Are you biased towards my daughter or my grandson? At key moments, you actually side with outsiders, with your students! Are you disgusting or what? Truly a sanctimonious hypocrite! A double-standard dog!"

Shen Jianhua was intensely accurate with his words when he began to swear.

Huo Mingshan, being scolded speechless, could only silently endure the grievance.

"Grandpa, ignore him, let’s pack up."

At this time, Huo Feng, also following suit, tossed some more odds and ends to Shen Jianhua, and said, "From now on, I won’t stay at this home anymore! Dad doesn’t care, mom doesn’t love, not even letting me pursue a girl. Staying in such a home is pointless, I might as well live with Grandpa."

"Huo Feng! You shut up!"

Huo Mingshan turned and scolded Huo Feng, "You caused this trouble, and here you are, stirring more issues!"

"Hmph."

Huo Feng, refusing to talk to Huo Mingshan, snorted and then turned to continue organizing his things.

Huo Mingshan had no choice but to say to Shen Jianhua again, "Dad, the situation really isn’t as simple as Huo Feng describes. That student of mine comes from a complicated family situation, she can’t withstand any setbacks. I just didn’t want Huo Feng to ruin the girl."

With this said, Shen Jianhua became even angrier, "You spoiling my daughter is fine, but my grandson spoiling a female student isn’t allowed? Officials are allowed to set fires but commoners can’t light lamps, hypocrite!"

"Dad, the situation I described really isn’t the same as what you’re talking about..."

Huo Mingshan was incredibly anxious, "I’m different from Xiaofeng, although I indeed made mistakes in the past, I took responsibility."

"What makes you think I wouldn’t take responsibility?" Huo Feng interrupted him in retaliation.

In response, Huo Mingshan wasn’t the least bit polite to Huo Feng, "Because you’re a hoodlum! You’re uneducated, always idling around, being a freeloader! Your behavior will only lead others astray in the long run! How could I possibly watch Sangzhi, such a promising young man, be led astray by you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shen Jianhua couldn’t bear it anymore and backhandedly slapped Huo Mingshan on the head, causing his toupee to float about, "What kind of behavior is my grandson exhibiting? What do you mean by looking down on my grandson? Isn’t he your son! You were the one who raised him when he was a child! If you really think the education failed, you should start by reflecting on yourself!"

Huo Mingshan touched the toupee Shen Jianhua had slapped, quickly adjusted it, but by then, his face had already turned pale.

Shen Jianhua’s words were incisive, hitting precisely at points that left Huo Mingshan unable to refute.

Initially feeling completely justified, Huo Mingshan was rendered speechless by Shen Jianhua at that moment.

Not only that, Shen Jianhua continued, "I think there’s really something wrong with your brain! I don’t know what you’re thinking! Your son has won over your best student and wants to marry her into the family, isn’t that a happy occasion for everyone? What are you opposing? What right do you have to oppose? Have you forgotten about the romantic affairs you had, how my daughter entered your family because of your schemes? Did she not!"

Shen Jianhua’s words were indeed very effective, so much so that Huo Feng felt like applauding him.

And Huo Feng indeed turned around and gave Shen Jianhua a thumbs up, "Grandpa is mighty! Well said!"

"Dad..."

Huo Mingshan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, speaking gravely, "If you’re going to talk like that, then let me share my opinion. If Xiaofeng were a student who studies diligently, observes school rules, and has a good character, regardless of his grades, I would not oppose him chasing after a girl. But he is not!"

Shen Jianhua couldn’t stand those words, "What do you mean by that? You think your son has a bad character? Are you looking down on your son?"

"Even if I don’t look down on him, he really isn’t good, it’s an undeniable fact."

Huo Mingshan pointed at Huo Feng, saying, "He skipped classes in elementary school, fought in junior high. He became the king of kids among his peers, always loafed around, shirked his duties, talked back to teachers, insulted his classmates, disrupted classes! Taking advantage of the school’s lax control after graduating junior high, he even arranged fights that sent his peers to the hospital! Which of these incidents shows he’s good?"

At this point, Huo Mingshan turned his head, glaring sharply at Huo Feng, "You little punk, you’re nothing but trouble! You’re not even old yet, already learning to drink, smoke, and fight like gangsters! With your behavior, any girl you set your sights on would be in danger!"

Huo Mingshan’s words, though harsh, seemed to have some sense.

But Shen Jianhua was far from being brainwashed; instead, he slapped Huo Mingshan on the head again, "Uttering complete nonsense!"

As an elder, being scolded in front of his child, Huo Mingshan’s face just couldn’t bear it.

He also couldn’t help but grow angry at Shen Jianhua, "Dad, can you please not get involved in this? Ever since he was a child, whenever you knew about my educating him, you would definitely get involved! I didn’t intervene when he was messing up in junior high, just out of consideration for your dignity! If you could stay out of this, I would thank you! But if you insist on interfering, then I..."

"What do you want to do?"

Shen Jianhua looked up, not at all politely responding, "What could you possibly do to me?"

Shen Jianhua pushed Huo Mingshan hard on the chest, enough to knock him down onto his buttocks.

Then, Shen Jianhua continued, "Let me tell you, Huo Mingshan! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my grandson’s character! He just likes to have fun, but he’ll be serious when it matters! What’s wrong with a bit of street smarts? I started mingling at a young age too, did I not do well? Using the connections I made, I became village official for over a decade, what’s wrong with that? Where’s the issue?"

"You just can’t stand me! If you have an issue with me, just say it outright. Xiaofeng’s current personality was shaped by me; I don’t see a problem with it! On the contrary, I think his character is excellent! He’ll do well in society!"

Shen Jianhua angrily proclaimed, "From now on, don’t bother teaching him! Let me do it! And when he becomes successful eventually, it will have nothing to do with you!"

Shen Jianhua’s words also carried some weight.

At any rate, Huo Feng found them comforting!

And once again, Huo Mingshan found himself stumped by Shen Jianhua’s arguments...

Regarding education, one really can’t speak of right or wrong.

Every parenting style has its pros and cons.

Perhaps, the type of son Huo Mingshan wanted wasn’t like Huo Feng.

While Shen Jianhua appreciated Huo Feng’s persona...
