Xiao Liu's pitiful cries interrupted the tender moments in the second wife's home.
"Ouch, that hurts! My hand hurts so much!"
Xie Lin and Shi Shi rushed to the bench, ready to pull the little one out from underneath.
Grandma Xiao was heartbroken.
"My dear baby, come out quickly so that your great-grandmother can see you."
Little Liu was sobbing and refused to come out.
"Dad, she's mean, she stepped on my hand on purpose."
A cold glint flashed in Xie Lin's eyes.
My daughter never lies; something seems fishy.
He glanced at the child's swollen hand and then abruptly turned around.
"Comrade, what do you have to say?"
Chu He's heart tightened, thinking to herself how could that brat say such nonsense? She didn't even know she was hiding down there.
"No, I really didn't mean to. When I got up, I had no idea there were people downstairs."
"You're talking nonsense. My hand is here, always here. Are your feet tied to an octopus so you can step inside?"
Xiao Liu straightened his hands, tears streaming down his face.
“Dad, my hand is here. She stepped on it, very hard, while she was limping.”
"Waaah, Daddy, it hurts so much, Xiao Liu!"
That's why she endured the pain and didn't come out; she wanted to present evidence.
Settle scores on the spot.
The bench wasn't wide, only about knee-high for an adult.
Little Liu lay sideways on the ground, one little hand stretched upwards, as if he had just informed his mother, beckoning her with his other hand.
After pulling it back, it didn't stretch upwards, but remained facing outwards, without crossing the edge of the chair; there was still a small distance.
Logically, for a seated person to stand up, their lower legs should be perpendicular to the ground, or at least on the outside of the chair edge. Therefore, Chu He deliberately stretched her feet inward.
Thinking back to her earlier intention to stay overnight at the Lu family's house.
Perhaps she didn't intend to step on the child's hand, but her foot still turned towards the bottom of the bench.
If your legs aren't straight, you'll naturally fall, and if you get injured, you have a reason to stay.
Good tactic.
Everyone looked down at the bench and saw that Xiao Liu's hand was a full 10 centimeters away from the edge of the bench, and he would indeed need to put his foot in to step on it.
Who would stand up and turn their foot inside?
They weren't stupid; they figured it out as soon as they saw where Xiao Liu's hand was.
Grandma Xiao looked at Chu He with icy eyes.
"Xiao Xiao, your judgment isn't very good. You're already playing tricks before you've even stepped inside."
Lu Xiao felt utterly ashamed.
"Grandma Xiao, I'm sorry, I..."
"You should apologize to Xiao Liu." Old Mrs. Lu's eyes also turned cold. In her heart, she had already sentenced Chu He to death. She was not worthy of such a granddaughter-in-law.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Liu, it's my fault, I apologize." Lu Xiao immediately squatted down by the bench to apologize.
The sixth child, sobbing, crawled out and wanted his father to hold him.
"Dad, Xiao Liu is in pain."
Her little hands were naturally fair and delicate, so even the slightest abnormality was clearly visible. Her entire hand, up to her wrist, was swollen, and her little finger was even bruised and bleeding. Xie Lin was heartbroken.
"Don't cry, Daddy will put some medicine on you in a bit, and you'll feel better soon."
