Things seem to be getting clearer.
"Son, tell Dad, did you hit someone?" The man squatted down, his eyes level with his son's, and asked patiently and gently.
When Zhang Cuihua saw the toy that didn't belong to Liu Shengrui, her expression became slightly unnatural.
Mo Cheng, Liu Dekai, Mo Youyou, and the others seemed to have guessed the reason, and they were no longer as confident as they had been at the beginning. They could no longer remain silent and let Zhang Cuihua act so aggressively.
Liu Dekai was even relieved that they hadn't come out in military uniforms today...
When I heard the other party say they were going to call the police, I knew they weren't someone to be easily fooled. They had to handle this matter properly and not let it affect their recent promotion.
"Mom, say less," Liu Dekai frantically signaled to Zhang Cuihua.
"What did I do wrong?" Zhang Cuihua was still unhappy. Her son had been giving her signals to keep quiet all evening, and she was already feeling resentful. Now, she was wrong to stand up for her eldest grandson? "Xiao Rui was bullied, shouldn't I have stood up for him?"
"Mom!" Liu Dekai emphasized.
On the other side, after the man asked, the little boy looked at his father, nodded aggrievedly, and admitted that he had indeed hit Liu Shengrui.
“I hit him,” the little boy said.
“Listen to this! Your son himself admitted to hitting someone, and he still has the nerve to say that I wronged him. Who is it that just spouts nonsense?” Zhang Cuihua started yelling again.
He was glared at fiercely by Mo Youyou.
"If you can't handle things, just shut your mouth!" Mo Youyou said disdainfully.
Given her personality, if her son were wronged, she would definitely be even more furious than Zhang Cuihua, but today's incident is rather strange...
Especially when she saw her son holding a toy that didn't belong to him, Mo Youyou naturally thought of what happened at the first birthday party. She was afraid that her son would really snatch someone else's toy, and then she wouldn't be able to assert herself.
"Son, can you tell your father why you hit him?" the man asked again.
Zhang Cuihua couldn't help but be sarcastic.
"Why else would someone hit someone? It must be because their parents didn't raise them properly!" Zhang Cuihua said sarcastically.
The woman's eyes practically wanted to kill Zhang Cuihua. She had never seen such a rude and unreasonable person before. It was like a scholar encountering a soldier; she couldn't reason with him at all!
"He took my toy," the little boy said, feeling wronged.
"As soon as he came, he started playing with my toy train. I thought he wanted to trade toys, so I let him play with it. But he wouldn't let me play with his own toys. So I asked him to give the toy train back to me, but he wouldn't."
“I was very angry and wanted to take the toy train back, but he pushed me with his toy and hit me. I got even angrier and hit him back.”
The little boy looked aggrieved, and his voice grew softer and softer. He clearly realized that he had done something wrong, but he was also very angry and felt wronged.
"Alright, son, Dad knows what happened," the man said.
Now that we understand the situation, it's time to discuss how to resolve it.
"Everyone, you all heard it. Your child snatched the toy first and hit someone first. My son fought back in self-defense. Of course, he did hit someone—"
Before the man could finish speaking, Zhang Cuihua couldn't help but jump up again.
"Bullshit, you're talking nonsense! Why should your son's word be law? My grandson hasn't even said a word yet. My grandson is very well-behaved, how could he possibly hit someone? I don't believe it!" Zhang Cuihua shouted, jumping up and down.
The couple shook their heads in disbelief; this woman was simply unreasonable.
They used foul language and were unreasonable.
But they felt sorry for their own son. They believed in him and that it was the truth. Since that was the case, they couldn't let their son suffer any injustice or be bullied.
"Sister, do you want to see whose toy your grandson is holding? You say my son is lying, but is that toy yours?" the woman questioned.
She recognized it; there was no mistake. That toy was the one she had bought for her son. He had even brought it with him when they went out to eat today, but now his hands were empty.
"Hmph!" Zhang Cuihua sneered, not answering, but imitating the man's manner, she also asked Liu Shengrui, "Xiao Rui, tell Grandma, did you take his toy? Did you hit him? Xiao Rui, don't be afraid, just tell the truth, Grandma will support you."
However, when asked, Liu Shengrui remained motionless, staring at the two toys in his hands with his head down, as if he hadn't heard Zhang Cuihua's words and showed no reaction whatsoever.
Originally, it was because I didn't understand, but this reaction was perceived by others as me being guilty and afraid to speak.
After all, no one could have imagined that a child who had already turned one year old would not utter a single word in rebuttal.
"Xiao Rui, say something!" Zhang Cuihua said.
But Liu Shengrui still didn't react.
When the other party saw them, they felt that this family was even more strange.
This woman has extremely poor manners. Her family members are well-dressed but do not interfere with her behavior at all. As for the child, he is not saying a word, which is also quite strange.
After learning what had happened, the man felt more confident.
"Daddy, little train..." The boy pouted and hooked his hand around his father's palm, pointing at the little train that Liu Shengrui was holding, looking at it longingly.
That's a new one his mom bought for him, and he loves it.
The man nodded, patted his son's head to tell him not to rush, and then spoke to Liu Dekai and the others.
"Please return my son's toys," the man said in a deep voice.
It's not my own stuff, it's too hot to handle.
Moreover, the little boy's words just now made the Mo family members feel ashamed.
They've never shortchanged their child in any way, so how did he develop this bad habit of snatching other people's things?!
"Little Rui, if you like the toy train, Mommy will buy it for you. How about we give this one back to someone else first?" Mo Youyou said, intending to take the toy train from Liu Shengrui's hands.
However, Liu Shengrui held on tightly and refused to let go.
He even glared at Mo Youyou with a fierce look of hatred.
For a moment, Mo Youyou was startled by the child's gaze. She froze and stopped using force in her hand.
"Hmph!" Liu Shengrui held the toy and hid it behind his back, clearly wanting to keep it for himself. He was even angry because Mo Youyou tried to take it from him.
"Oh dear, Youyou, why are you taking this so seriously? Xiao Rui is just a child... He just likes this toy, what's wrong with that?" Zhang Cuihua felt sorry for her eldest grandson and didn't want Mo Youyou to actually take the toy away.
other side:"……"
Not only them, but also Mo Cheng and the onlookers around them, all disagreed with Zhang Cuihua's statement.
What do you mean by "just a child"?
What do you mean by "it's just that I like a toy"?
