"Mommy, he bullied me!" Mo Shuang'er was not even three years old, and her words were not very coherent when she was angry, but they were enough for Lin Qing to understand what had happened.
"Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui bullied me! Waaah... He stole my doll!"
Sure enough, there was a doll at Liu Shengrui's feet, and it was a broken doll.
"I didn't want him to play with it, but he insisted. He snatched it... he even killed the doll! Waaah... Mommy, my doll is dead..."
The doll that Mo Shuang'er mentioned was dead was actually "dismembered".
After snatching the doll, Liu Shengrui immediately took action and dismantled all four of its limbs, laughing as he did so, which terrified Mo Shuang'er.
Immediately, Lin Qing's expression turned rather unpleasant.
It's normal for kids to fight over toys, but how can they be so destructive? Not only do they snatch the toys, but they also break them.
When Mo Youyou saw Lin Qing's expression change, she quickly stepped forward to resolve the matter.
"Xiao Rui, go to the side first." Mo Youyou was worried that Lin Qing would take her anger out on the child, so she told Liu Shengrui to go to the side first, and winked at Zhang Cuihua, signaling her to take the child away.
Zhang Cuihua quickly picked up Liu Shengrui and pretended to scold him, "Xiao Rui, how could you snatch your sister's doll? You child, you really don't know any better!"
He made that one bland and insignificant criticism.
“Sister-in-law, Xiao Rui is still young. It was wrong of him to scare Shuang’er. I apologize to Shuang’er on Xiao Rui’s behalf!” Mo Youyou said, then pulled Shuang’er, “Shuang’er, don’t cry, okay? Aunt Youyou will buy you a new doll. Shuang’er, please forgive your little brother.”
"Waaah..." Mo Shuang'er cried so hard she couldn't stop, "Baby, baby is dead, dead, waaaah—"
"Shuang'er, don't worry, the baby isn't dead. She's just sick. Look, Aunt Youyou is treating her!"
Having taken care of a child for a year, Mo Youyou had gained experience in soothing children.
She picked up the broken doll and put its limbs back on.
"Shuang'er, look! The baby is all better now, isn't she?" Mo Youyou held the baby and waved it in front of Mo Shuang'er.
She then looked at her sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry about this. It's Xiao Rui's fault. He shouldn't have taken Shuang'er's doll. I'll talk to him properly when I get back."
It's really not a big deal, it's just a toy, there's no need to let such a small thing affect the relationship between the adults.
Seeing that Mo Youyou's attitude was good and she handled the situation reasonably well, Lin Qing decided not to pursue the matter any further.
"Shuang'er, Aunt Youyou has cured the baby for you. What should you say?" Lin Qing guided.
"Thank you, Auntie," Mo Shuang'er said in a childish voice, wiping away her tears with a wronged expression.
Mo Youyou felt embarrassed and didn't want her sister-in-law to hold a grudge, so she continued, "Shuang'er is so good, but it was indeed Xiao Rui's fault. Auntie will buy Shuang'er a new doll after I promise, so the doll will have a little sister, okay?"
Upon hearing that the child had a younger sister, Mo Shuang'er stopped crying and started laughing.
"Great! Mommy, give the baby a little sister!" Mo Shuang'er said happily to Lin Qing, "The baby is going to have a little sister!"
"As long as Shuang'er is happy," Lin Qing said. After all, she was the sister-in-law and wouldn't hold a grudge against her husband's cousin. "Youyou, don't take it to heart either. It's normal for kids to bicker."
"Oh, I feel much more at ease now that you're not angry, sister-in-law!" Mo Youyou said.
Before things had even calmed down for long, another disturbance broke out on the other side.
After Zhang Cuihua took Liu Shengrui aside, he set his sights on a toy in another little boy's hand—a toy car.
Liu Shengrui knew that cars were for riding in.
"Beep beep beep, go forward." The little boy named Mo Jiaqing was lying on the ground playing with his toy cars, his little hands leading the toy cars forward, muttering to himself, having a great time.
Suddenly, a bottom sat down, landing steadily on the car.
It was Liu Shengrui.
"Hehe..." Liu Shengrui, now seated in the car, laughed contentedly.
Mo Jiaqing was dumbfounded.
This is a toy car, not the kind he usually rides in. If you keep sitting on a toy car like this, it will break. This is his favorite toy, which his father, Mo Yancheng, just bought for him last week.
"You, get up, Xiao Rui, get up!" Mo Jiaqing said anxiously, reaching out to pull Liu Shengrui up.
“Yes, it will be bad,” Mo Jiaqing explained.
However, Liu Shengrui wouldn't listen at all.
He only knew that he wanted to ride in a car, but Mo Jiaqing wouldn't let him, so he didn't like Mo Jiaqing.
Liu Shengrui shook off Mo Jiaqing's hand, ignored him, and continued to sit happily in the car, even bouncing it twice, indicating that he wanted to sit there!
"It's bad, it's going to break!" Mo Jiaqing panicked and tried even harder to pull Liu Shengrui away.
This action, however, provoked Liu Shengrui.
He hates Mo Jiaqing, so why shouldn't he be allowed to ride in a car?
"Get up—" Mo Jiaqing said, and after being shaken off, he went to pull Liu Shengrui up again.
Liu Shengrui was furious.
Mo Jiaqing is so annoying.
"Sit!" Liu Shengrui said one word, indicating that he was going to sit, and then punched Mo Jiaqing on the head.
Although he's only a year old, Liu Shengrui's chubby face is no joke. He's really got some strength in him. At least that punch landed solidly, leaving Mo Jiaqing stunned and dumbfounded.
Mo Jiaqing, who had just been punched, was stunned for a moment, and then he started howling at the top of his lungs.
"It hurts! It hurts so much! Waaaaah..."
Because of Mo Shuang'er's crying earlier, everyone is now more sensitive to the sound of children crying and is quickly trying to find the source of the crying.
"Why is another child crying?"
Upon searching, they discovered that it was Mo Jiaqing who was crying.
Mo Jiaqing's mother is Hu Feiyue. She had just reminded her sister-in-law Lin Qing that Mo Shuang'er was crying, and now, not long after, it's her son's turn to cry.
"Mo Yancheng, still drinking? Your son is crying!" Hu Feiyue shouted, rushing directly towards Mo Jiaqing, who was crying.
"What's wrong with Jiaqing?" Mo Yancheng stood up.
When Mo Shuang'er was crying earlier, Mo Yanhua wanted to go see her, but Liu Dekai stopped him and he continued drinking. Now, however, Liu Dekai couldn't stop Mo Yancheng. He got up and went to his son's side with his wife, Hu Feiyue.
Upon seeing that Liu Shengrui was standing next to Mo Jiaqing, Liu Dekai had no choice but to go over and check on him.
"What happened?" Liu Dekai asked Mo Youyou.
Mo Youyou had a headache. She had just coaxed Mo Shuang'er and was glad that her sister-in-law Lin Qing wasn't angry with her, but in the blink of an eye, she had offended another sister-in-law. Her cousin Mo Yancheng had also come over. She felt annoyed and embarrassed, and she was resentful.
