Mo Shuang'er accused Liu Shengrui, while Liu Shengrui said it was an accident.
There were no third witnesses.
Now, both sides have their own version of events, and neither can be considered the truth. Is this going to continue in this stalemate?
"Did you hear that? Our Xiao Rui said it wasn't him who pushed him, it wasn't him, he's really a good boy, it's all just a misunderstanding!" Mo Youyou shouted again, trying to prove Liu Shengrui's innocence to everyone.
"Our Xiao Rui has already changed. He would never bully Xiao Qing and Shuang'er. It's just a misunderstanding!"
However, the other members of the Mo family around them did not react as well.
Especially Mo Jiaqing and Mo Shuang'er's parents.
They hadn't forgotten how Liu Shengrui had bullied their child at the previous family dinner. Now, with Mo Shuang'er and Liu Shengrui each sticking to their own version of events, they didn't know who others would believe, but they knew they were more inclined to side with Mo Shuang'er's version.
There was no other way; Mo Shuang'er had always been well-behaved and sensible, and she wouldn't lie. Compared to Liu Shengrui, who had a precedent to follow, she was far more credible.
“Our Shuang’er wouldn’t lie. Since she said it was Xiao Rui, then Xiao Rui pushed her!” Lin Qing stood on her daughter’s side, staring angrily at Liu Shengrui, and questioned, “Xiao Rui, how could you do such a terrible thing at such a young age? And you didn’t dare to admit your mistake and even lied. How could you do this?”
Lin Qing had even harsher words to say, such as, "Who taught you all this?"
No matter how bad Liu Shengrui is, he's still just a three-year-old child. He has no mature sense of right and wrong. The fact that he can be so bad is entirely due to his parents' dereliction of duty!
If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault.
“Sister-in-law, you can’t assume it’s Xiao Rui’s fault just because you believe Shuang’er. What if the situation was critical and Shuang’er misjudged?” Mo Youyou was unwilling to give up and was still trying to defend her son.
She wasn't oblivious to Lin Qing's implied meaning, but Lin Qing wasn't just any ordinary person; she was her sister-in-law. Unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want to argue with her sister-in-law, lest her brother be caught in the middle and put in a difficult position.
“Our Shuang’er doesn’t lie! Besides, what are the chances that Xiao Qing would accidentally fall while trying to pick up a toy? I don’t believe it,” Lin Qing said.
Hu Feiyue and Mo Yancheng were focused on the injured Mo Jiaqing, but they dared not move until the ambulance and doctors arrived. So they also listened to a few words of the argument.
Their attitude was the same as Lin Qing's; they also believed that it was more likely that Liu Shengrui pushed Mo Jiaqing. After all, they had seen how well-behaved Mo Shuang'er was, and they also knew how annoying Liu Shengrui was.
“Youyou, educating children isn’t about indulging them. If it really is Xiaorui, he has to stand up and apologize to Xiaoqing about this matter—” Hu Feiyue was still relatively rational at this point, trying to reason with Mo Youyou.
However, both of his sisters-in-law seemed to have concluded that Liu Shengrui was responsible and directly convicted him.
Mo Youyou couldn't accept this at all.
"No! I told you, it wasn't Xiao Rui, it couldn't have been Xiao Rui who did it!" Mo Youyou was extremely anxious. She desperately wanted to prove to everyone that this matter really had nothing to do with her son, but she couldn't find any way to prove it, so she could only repeat herself over and over again.
Compared to Mo Youyou's near-out-of-control behavior, Liu Dekai, as Liu Shengrui's father, stood aside, coldly observing without any reaction.
It's as if Liu Shengrui, who is being blamed and "wronged" at this moment, has nothing to do with him and is not his biological son.
Mo Youyou was so engrossed in her anxious and out-of-control emotions that she completely ignored Liu Dekai's inaction.
But Mo Cheng discovered it.
He was quite dissatisfied with Liu Dekai's reaction.
The situation is still unclear and there is no conclusion yet, but Liu Dekai, as Liu Shengrui's father and Mo Youyou's husband, remains unmoved when the mother and daughter are being questioned by everyone!
Indifferent?
Is this something a man, a truly upright man, could do?
To stand aside like an outsider and watch the show while leaving one's wife, children, and unborn child to bear the brunt of the storms from the outside world is not something one person can do alone.
Mo Cheng was not a patient person. He was quick to vent his dissatisfaction, so he shoved Liu Dekai and angrily questioned him.
"Liu Dekai, you just watched Youyou explain everything to everyone, while you, as her husband and father, didn't say a word. What's going on here? Hmm?"
You could tell from his tone and word choice that he was very angry.
Liu Dekai staggered forward, feeling awkward and helpless as if he had been suddenly pushed from behind the scenes to the forefront. He felt that there was no point in explaining or arguing about this matter. In his opinion, he believed the little girl's words the moment Mo Shuang'er pointed him out.
After all, he knew Liu Shengrui's character all too well.
While he remained silent, Zhang Cuihua could no longer sit still. To prevent her father-in-law from becoming even angrier, she had to step forward and take responsibility for protecting her son's wife and children.
“Xiao Rui is a very well-behaved child. He loves playing with his older brothers and sisters. How could he possibly push someone? Besides, among the three children, Xiao Rui is the youngest. Even if he is being bullied, it's the youngest brother who is being bullied!” Zhang Cuihua said, stepping forward.
Her statement caused quite a stir.
What does that mean? Isn't it just a veiled way of saying that Mo Jiaqing and Mo Shuang'er, the brother and sister, teamed up to bully Liu Shengrui, and now that something has happened, even though it was clearly an accident, they're deliberately trying to frame the youngest, Liu Shengrui, and make him take the blame?
This isn't helping at all, it's making things worse!
"Don't talk nonsense!" Mo Youyou was extremely helpless with this useless teammate, but in front of everyone, she didn't want to be too fierce or mean to her mother-in-law, so she could only endure it.
"How could you say such a thing? Xiaoqing and Shuang'er are both good children. How could they possibly bully Xiaorui? Auntie, I respect you as an elder, but if you're going to talk like this, then don't blame me for being harsh. Back then, your Xiaorui bullied Xiaoqing and Shuang'er—" Lin Qing said sternly.
She didn't want to dredge up old grievances, but Zhang Cuihua's shamelessness shocked her, making her feel that she no longer needed to be polite.
They treated others like family and always left room for maneuver, but in the end, others treated them like fools. Who could stand that?
"That's right, I believe Shuang'er, Shuang'er would never lie!" Hu Feiyue was too lazy to maintain any family face. Could face be more important than her son's health?
Now that Mo Jiaqing is so seriously injured, Mo Youyou still wants to make excuses for Liu Shengrui. As a mother, she simply cannot accept this way of resolving the situation.
