Chapter 163 Trying to brush it off? Want them to inflict the same injuries?

After waking He Xiaojie up, they were afraid he would go back and cry or complain, so they specifically threatened him.

“You’re just a mute who can’t speak, and you’re not even a biological child of the Chi family. It’s no use for you to complain. We are the biological children of the Chi family. At most, we’ll just get a few scoldings after this happens.”

"Don't think that just because your stepmother protects you, it means she likes you. She's just putting on an act for outsiders."

"If you complain about her too often, she'll get annoyed by the trouble you cause her, and she'll stop liking you and abandon you."

"That's right, so when you go back you're not allowed to say anything, and you're not allowed to tell anyone, understand?"

Perhaps he was scared by their beatings, or perhaps their threats worked, but although the little mute He Xiaojie went back crying, he cooperated with them and said that he had fallen, thus deceiving Grandpa Chi.

I thought that was the end of it.

Who knew that the little mute boy would fall ill in the blink of an eye, and that someone would discover that his leg was seriously injured, and that they would be dragged out again.

Chi Wenhong was still very scared: the little mute boy's leg was injured like that, would he be crippled?

If he can't stand up and walk anymore, wouldn't they be responsible for him for the rest of their lives?

Thinking about it, Chi Wenhong cried even harder.

Li Cuiwei cherishes her daughter very much.

But she also knew that Chi Wenhong had caused a huge mess this time.

How could someone beat someone up like that?

What if they cripple someone?

Moreover, with Chi Shaokang's entire family watching, she dared not show any distress.

She grabbed Chi Wenhong's shoulders and shouted, "Now you know how to cry, you know how to be scared? When you were bullying people, didn't you think about the consequences?"

"Stop crying, go to your sister-in-law to receive your punishment."

"Even if your sister-in-law beats you to death today, you'll have to suffer the consequences."

Chi Wenhong cried even louder.

Xia Yuhuan watched this scene coldly and said coldly, "We will fight, but I will not be the one to do it."

Her words silenced everyone present, and they all turned to look at her.

“Whoever raised the child, that person should do it themselves. No matter how badly Xiao Jie was injured, they should beat him up.”

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

"You should be glad that although Xiao Jie's injuries are serious, no bones were broken, otherwise I could have asked you to break both of their legs."

"So, do you still want me to do it?"

Xia Yuhuan's face was cold and ruthless: "Let's make this clear first, if I take action, I won't hold back. If you think they can handle it, then leave it to me."

Both families felt their heads were spinning.

No one expected Xia Yuhuan to take things so seriously and be so ruthless.

They thought that as long as they made their stance clear and scolded the child, Xia Yuhuan would be lenient and only give them a light punishment because of their sincere attitude.

But Xia Yuhuan said she wanted them to beat their own child into something like He Xiaojie.

He Xiaojie was really badly injured.

They felt a chill run down their spines looking at it, unable to believe that it was their own child who had caused the injury.

But Xia Yuhuan told them to beat their own child like that.

How could they possibly bring themselves to do it?

"Yanzhou's wife, do you really have to go this far?" Chi Ruide asked, frowning.

"Children often fight and injuries are inevitable. Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

"If you ask me, that's enough. We're all family. If we keep making a fuss like this, it'll hurt our feelings."

Xia Yuhuan's indifferent gaze fell on him.

“I said, today, you either copy the injuries on my Xiao Jie onto your own children, or you hand them over to me and I’ll break their legs.”

"There are only these two options; you can choose for yourselves."

"I want to emphasize again that when I said I would break your legs, I meant it. I'm not joking. You'd better think this through carefully."

Faced with Xia Yuhuan's domineering attitude, everyone present was so angry that they held their breath in anger.

Chi Rui De looked at Grandpa Chi: "Brother, it's just kids playing around, does it really have to escalate like this?"

Grandpa Chi also felt that Xia Yuhuan had gone too far.

He then said, "Yanzhou's wife, they're just children. A few words of admonishment and discipline are enough. It doesn't have to escalate like this. Let it go."

He put on that patriarchal posture again.

Xia Yuhuan found him annoying.

We're all human, so why should he think that everyone has to listen to him just because he says so?

Just because he's old?

But she saw that his age was useless; he was just getting older, not smarter.

She retorted without any hesitation, "I said I would get to the bottom of this, and I can't just let it go with the kids."

“I feel sorry for my son. Please don’t get involved in this matter. Even if you do speak up, I won’t listen.”

Old Master Chi was so angry that his face turned red after Xia Yuhuan publicly humiliated him.

He looked at Chi Shaokang: "Boss, look at Yan Zhou's wife. She's completely disrespectful to her elders. Aren't you adults going to do anything about her?"

Chi Shaokang was also surprised that Xia Yuhuan could be so assertive.

But he didn't think Xia Yuhuan had done anything wrong.

The people who made mistakes and did wrong things are Chi Jianyong and Chi Wenhong, and they cannot be exempted from responsibility just because they are young.

Moreover, they are not very young anymore, and they should be sensible by now.

They are too young to understand things, beating a child even younger than themselves like this; their intentions can be described as malicious.

If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll turn the world upside down!

Chi Shaokang stood by Xia Yuhuan's side as always, firmly supporting her.

“Dad, I’ve said it before, Xiaohuan is the treasure of our family. We support whatever she says or does, as long as it doesn’t break the law or violate the law. This time is no different.”

"Besides, you saw the injuries on Xiao Jie's body. You think beating a child like that is a small matter?"

"These two kids are not young anymore. If they are not disciplined, they might be capable of murder and arson when they get older. Who will cover for them then?"

"You should start disciplining your children early, when they are young. It would be best if you could discipline them yourselves. If you can't bear to do it yourselves, hand them over to us and let us take care of them. Don't blame us for being too harsh on them later."

"Boss, what are you saying? You..." Old Master Chi was so angry by Chi Shaokang's words that he pointed at him and was about to scold him.

Grandma Chi, who was standing nearby, pulled him back: "Shut up, say less. What does this have to do with you? Let the people involved resolve it themselves."

“Since they are all children, if Xiao Jie can withstand the injury, they can also withstand it. It’s not a life-threatening thing.”

Grandma Chi's words made Xia Yuhuan look up at her.

Surprisingly, the old lady was much more clear-headed than the old man.

Chi Ruide was also furious at this moment.

Seeing that neither he nor Grandpa Chi could get through to him, and feeling ashamed, she angrily pushed Chi Jianyong toward Xia Yuhuan.

"Fine, you want to break Jianyong's legs, is that it? I'll hand him over to you. I want to see if you dare to really break his legs today. You..."
