However, Eddie is still a very annoying child. Every family cherishes their child, so how can they not be angry if they are bullied for no reason? What's even more annoying are Eddie's parents. Everyone has seen the mother's character, and she is indeed not a good person.

Ye Qingqing had only seen her father once. He was in his forties, of medium height, chubby, and a greasy man with a bloated belly. He was slightly better at dealing with people than his wife, but only slightly. He always had a sense of superiority that emanated from his bones. She didn't know where he, a renter, got such a good self-esteem.

"Let's go back!"

Ye Qingqing waved her hand, and Eddie, as if he had met a great friend, ran home in a flash.

Zhou Yueyun wiped her youngest son's face and saw several scratches on his face. She felt both heartache and anger and couldn't help but scold him, "From now on, stay away from that Eddie. If you can't beat him, you can at least avoid him. Don't play with him anymore. You play with An'anjingjing instead."

“I didn’t play with him. I swung on the swing by myself. Eddie wanted to play too, but I didn’t agree, so he pushed me.” Niu Niu said, feeling quite aggrieved.

Zhou Yueyun was furious. She reached out to slap him, but stopped halfway through her swing. She couldn't bring herself to do it and instead tapped Niu Niu hard on the forehead. "So what if you let him play? A wise man doesn't fight when he's at a disadvantage. You're such a fool, you can't beat him anyway. Why are you asking for a beating if you try to fight him head-on?"

Niu Niu pouted, feeling wronged. "But I was the one who played first. We have to play in the order of first come, first served. It was Eddie who didn't follow the rules. I did nothing wrong."

If he gives in, it means he agrees that Eddie's approach is correct, but he clearly opposes it. Any behavior that violates the rules is wrong. Niu Niu feels that he did nothing wrong, so why is his mother scolding him?

Zhou Yueyun was furious. "Why are you so stubborn? Don't you know how to be flexible? Today it was Eddie, he just pushed you a few times to make it hurt. What if you encounter a robber with a knife in the future? Are you going to talk to him about all those bullshit rules?"

"Of course we have to follow the rules. The teacher said that all humans living on Earth must follow the rules, and you are the same, Mom. You didn't follow the rules last time and ran a red light." Niu Niu's little face was very serious, and he was lecturing Zhou Yueyun like a little adult.

Ye Qingqing...

She had never realized before that Niu Niu was so stubborn. He really was a little Niu Niu. To put it nicely, he was stubborn; to put it bluntly, he was inflexible. Such children can be quite a headache for adults, but there are advantages to it too. Inflexible children are usually very determined. Once they set their mind on something, they will keep working towards it and will not give up no matter how difficult it is.

Zhou Yueyun was furious with her youngest son. She finally slammed her hand down, using only a little force. "There were no cars or people around. Everyone else ran the red light. Was I supposed to just stand there like an idiot? I only ran the red light because I was sure there wouldn't be any accidents. But you've made a big deal out of it and keep nagging me about it. If you keep nagging, I... I'll hit you!"

She was furious. It happened just last month. She took Niu Niu to play in the park. When they crossed the traffic light, there were no cars around, and it was deserted. All the other pedestrians were crossing against the red light, so Zhou Yueyun took Niu Niu and ran across too. It would take more than a minute for the red light to finish flashing, but since there were no cars around, it wouldn't matter if she crossed.

But her son refused to cross the road no matter what she said. He started arguing with her on the zebra crossing, so Zhou Yueyun had to pick him up and carry him across. The poor boy was unhappy all day afterward.
