Things have gotten so far that everything is in complete chaos.

Lu Pingping cried the most; she never expected that Liu Qing, who was always easy to talk to, would turn out like this.

She wore a black women's suit with a party emblem pinned to her chest, her short hair neat, and sat in her office, refusing to see anyone.

Lu Pingping clearly saw Liu Qing go in, but the receptionist said, "Our secretary isn't here. May I ask which unit you're from? I'll check for you."

What should Lu Pingping say?

She has no employer, no money, and no job.

What gives her the confidence to get to where she is today is her son. "I gave birth to a son for the Liu family and carried on the family line."

How could the Liu family not want me?

With this in mind, Lu Pingping went home and told her son, "Your father doesn't want us anymore, and your grandparents want to kick us out—"

"If your parents divorce, who will you live with?"

Clinging to this last straw, Lu Pingping revealed her immense vulnerability, asking her young, naive son, "Will you protect Mommy?"

How could a child understand so much?

Through her mother's description, a whole clue took shape in DouDou's mind—

My mom was being bullied, so I have to protect her.

Children are naturally close to their mothers. In the days following Lu Pingping's words, her son followed her everywhere, even clutching her clothes while sleeping, as if afraid that Lu Pingping might be "kicked out" at any moment.

In front of Sun Lifang, Lu Pingping proudly shared her "parenting tips," and then gave Sun Lifang a smug look, saying, "Aren't I amazing? My son loves me so much now."

Sun Lifang found this speechless.

"Children's intimate relationships are first established with their parents, and so is their sense of security."

Lu Pingping personally shattered the child's sense of security by telling him that her relationship with his father was in jeopardy.

Imagine a child who worries day and night about his parents' relationship, a child who is panicked and under immense pressure because he wants to maintain a "stable family".

Where can happiness lead in the future?

Lu Pingping raised a son with a severe "Oedipus complex," who was emotionally fragile and cried at the drop of a hat.

She was also proud of it and felt that she was amazing.

"Two men, if they can't rely on the one born to someone else, they can always rely on the one they gave birth to themselves."

At that moment, Sun Lifang suddenly felt sorry for Liu Baiyang.

He's so busy with work that his wife is constantly digging holes for him from behind.

Conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, conflicts between sisters-in-law, and conflicts between parents and children—Lu Pingping single-handedly arranged them all for him.

After it was all over, she smugly threatened him, "Divorce is fine, but the son will stay with me."

Even now, they still can't distinguish what the center of gravity is.

She stubbornly clung to what she had, emphasizing to him, "My son is my child, he will definitely come with me. You dare to try and separate us, mother and son?"

After long-term brainwashing, DouDou has become an insecure, fragile, and sensitive child.

I worry every day that my parents might get divorced. I open my eyes wide with fear, looking at my dad and then at my mom.

Lu Pingping successfully shifted her stress onto her child.

She herself was fine, but the child was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.

Or rather, they can't live without someone.

He can only fall asleep by holding onto his mother's collar and smelling her scent.

I don't even dare to go to school anymore.

She was afraid that her mother would be kicked out while she was away from home.

Wherever Lu Pingping went, the little boy would snuggle in her arms and play with the buttons on her chest.

“The child doesn’t have the ability to solve this problem, so why are you telling him?” Sun Lifang looked at the little boy with dark circles under his eyes in Lu Pingping’s arms and was speechless.

"Haven't you realized that you've raised a mama's boy?"

Those who give birth to sons will eventually become mothers-in-law.

You, as a wife, hate mama's boys, but you end up raising one yourself.

What's the point of transferring your own misfortune onto your children?

"Children's sense of security comes from their parents. Only when they know that they have a harmonious and loving family can they live, study, and play with peace of mind."

This is similar to how adults know they have a "nest" to go back to and dream about after get off work.

Lu Pingping personally shattered the child's sense of security, and now, "you've made no progress at all. Everyone else is improving, but you're just sticking to the old ways."

Who are they threatening?

As a housewife, her husband continued to advance in his career and accumulate wealth, while her sister-in-law made great strides in her career and achieved success.

Everyone else is making progress, but you're still stuck in the same place.

"A sense of security comes from within. You're like a lion with a big mouth; no matter how much others give you, you're never satisfied."

It's the adult world now, and everyone is exhausted.

"It's unreasonable that after a long day, I have to come home and face your judgment."

This is owed to you, that is owed to you.

"If you approach life with a resentful attitude, a perfect life will never exist."

Sun Lifang felt that Lu Pingping was already very lucky, having been dealt a good hand.

But even if you give someone with a good hand, they can't hold onto it if they have this "complaining woman mentality".

Marriage for adults requires a balance of power.

Lu Pingping's family background, IQ, EQ, and work ability—except for her appearance—are all unworthy of Liu Baiyang.

“No wonder people say that ordinary people can’t earn money beyond their understanding.” Sun Lifang sighed as she looked out the window at the woman downstairs who was holding her son like conjoined twins.

"The same applies to marriage. Even if God gives you a good hand by chance, you can't hold onto it."

Lu Pingping raised a giant baby with her own hands, ruined her son, instilled hatred in him, and was even smug about it.

Don't use your family of origin as an excuse—

There are so many people from dysfunctional families out there, have you seen any of them take revenge on society after being hurt?

Some people, because they have been caught in the rain, don't want others to get wet.

Lu Pingping's reasoning is, "Because I suffered in my childhood, I want my son to experience my childhood, feel sorry for me, and protect me."

She puts the cart before the horse, treating her son like a husband to be pampered, and her husband like a parent to make demands.

He sought from Liu Baiyang what he lacked.

From one unfortunate person, they evolved into a group of unfortunate people.

Even without Liu Qing actually making a move, Lu Pingping "killed herself".

Completely unaware, they still thought they had the victory firmly in their grasp, and they were right.

"How can you blame me for what happened to Mengmeng? I didn't start the fire. She's just unlucky, who else can she blame?"

bouncing around in front of her in-laws, Lu Pingping emphasized again, "No matter how good Mengmeng is, she's still someone else's granddaughter. The word 'outside' means she belongs to someone else's family."

"You've hurt your own grandson for someone else's sake, aren't you out of your mind?"

They shift the blame onto their son, and even now they still have the audacity to say it's "someone else's."

This infuriated Old Mrs. Liu to the point of collapse.

They didn't even have time to answer the police notice.
