"If the child is naughty, you can talk to him nicely, he will understand! Physical punishment won't work, it will upset Xiao Rui, and when he cries, won't you feel sorry for him?"
Mo Youyou: "..."
The more she listened, the more alarmed she became.
Because at this moment, Mo Youyou realized that Zhang Cuihua didn't think she had done anything wrong at all, and even thought that she was the one who was wrong!
"These are two different things!" Mo Youyou exclaimed, stamping her foot.
She was almost driven crazy by Zhang Cuihua's unreasonable behavior.
"Can you even understand human language? He's being good now, but he did something wrong just now. These are two different things and shouldn't be confused! He even tried to hit me just now, did you see that?!" Mo Youyou shouted.
“Well, I didn’t hit you…” Zhang Cuihua said.
"What?!" Mo Youyou was shocked again, her finger trembling as she pointed at Zhang Cuihua. "Say it again! Say what you just said again?! Do I have to wait until Xiao Rui hits me before he's considered to have done something wrong?!"
"You're just holding a grudge against Xiao Rui for almost hitting you, but why don't you think about why Xiao Rui didn't hit his grandma? It's because our Xiao Rui isn't stupid. He knows who is truly good to him, who isn't, and who doesn't protect him! Don't underestimate him just because he's young; he understands things very well!"
Zhang Cuihua not only spoke words that were meant to hurt Mo Youyou's feelings, but she even went up to Liu Shengrui, who was playing with toys, and asked, "Little Rui, is Grandma right? Our Little Rui understands everything!"
Liu Shengrui, who was coaxed by the toys, didn't understand Zhang Cuihua's words at all, but it's true that he liked Zhang Cuihua.
"Grandma!" Liu Shengrui called out, smiling sweetly at Zhang Cuihua.
In Zhang Cuihua's eyes, this was the best response.
“Look how smart my grandson is! He understands everything!” Zhang Cuihua exclaimed.
When arguing with Zhang Cuihua, Mo Youyou never lost.
However, at this moment, she felt powerless for the first time. This powerlessness was not due to being defeated by Zhang Cuihua, but rather because looking at her son like this, her heart felt inexplicably desolate.
Is this true?
Is my son really like that?
Mo Youyou's breathing became heavy, her chest heaving as if she might run out of breath at any moment.
How could it have turned out like this...?
This was the first time Zhang Cuihua had gained the upper hand.
She thoroughly enjoyed this moment, feeling that this was the proper status for a mother-in-law, and that Mo Youyou, as her daughter-in-law, should show her even more respect!
“Youyou, I’m already halfway to the bottom of the earth, it doesn’t matter how you treat me, but you can’t break Xiaorui’s heart! He’s your own son!” Zhang Cuihua shouted, as if she was standing up for her eldest grandson.
Having experienced a series of shocks tonight, Mo Youyou was still reeling from the shock.
In her mind, Zhang Cuihua was no match for her at all; she couldn't even be bothered to try and beat her. She just wanted to figure out where things had gone wrong...
“Come on, Xiao Rui, Grandma will play with you!” Zhang Cuihua said proudly.
As for Liu Dekai, aside from spanking Liu Shengrui a few times outside and urging him to come back quickly, he didn't utter a single word once he got home.
He sat silently on the sofa, listening to Zhang Cuihua and Mo Youyou argue.
It was as if everything was irrelevant to him.
Even the joy of the New Year had nothing to do with him.
He had only one thing on his mind, only one thought.
Super Hero!
Super Hero!
Is Liu Shengrui really Chao Xiong?!
He was so frightened he was almost trembling; he was too terrified to even imagine what the consequences would be...
No, this can't go on.
He had to find an opportunity to go to Su Yueya and get to the bottom of this matter.
When she said her son was Chao Xiong, was it a lie to get revenge on him, or was it true? And if it was true, is there any chance to salvage the situation?
Although he had studied some relevant information, people are always like this: when something happens to them, they suddenly start to hope for divine mercy and take a chance.
Liu Dekai couldn't wait to go find Su Yueya right now!
That might not be appropriate.
It's the New Year, after all, and every household is celebrating, visiting relatives, and having reunion dinners. If he goes to Su Yueya's door at this time, he might not be able to have a proper conversation with her. It's better to wait a little longer.
After the New Year holiday, when he officially returned to work, he went directly to the medical department to find someone.
That was a work setting, so it was more appropriate to go to Su Yueya like that.
“Son, are you shivering? Are you cold?” Zhang Cuihua noticed Liu Dekai’s frightened appearance and unconsciously frowned.
Before going out to set off fireworks, everyone was dressed very warmly, and Liu Dekai didn't even take off his coat.
Now that we're at home, this outfit should only make us feel hot, not cold and shivering.
"Son, did you catch a cold and get sick?" Zhang Cuihua was still worried about her son, so she quickly put down her grandson and came over to touch Liu Dekai's forehead.
It's not hot at all; in fact, it's a little cool.
"Are you sick or not?" Zhang Cuihua asked, puzzled.
"I'm fine," Liu Dekai said nonchalantly, brushing away Zhang Cuihua's hand that was touching his forehead, turning his head away, and staggering to his feet. "I'm going back to my room to rest."
Liu Dekai's condition wasn't much better than Mo Youyou's.
The couple were both preoccupied with their own thoughts, lying quietly in bed, devoid of any New Year's atmosphere, only filled with lingering melancholy.
The Qiao family doesn't visit relatives during the Lunar New Year, and they don't have many relatives to visit anyway.
But Su Yueya still has her parents-in-law.
Su Yueya should have taken Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an, along with gifts, to visit the two elders.
However, Bai Xiuhui and Lu Anguo felt sorry for their daughter-in-law, since the two children were still too young and it was too hard for Su Yueya to take care of them alone. So, since the birth of the children, whenever they wanted to get together, it was always the two of them who took the initiative to come to the Qiao family, which was also out of consideration for Su Yueya.
"Dad, Mom, please sit down. Xiaoyuan and An'an have missed you so much!" Su Yueya said.
Qiao Hanxue cooked the meal himself again.
"Father-in-laws, please have a seat. I'm still busy here!" Qiao Hanxue poked his head out to greet them before continuing to work in the kitchen.
“Your dad really works so hard. Every time we come over, he has to cook a delicious meal. It’s such a hassle…” Lu Anguo said.
"My dear in-law, you're being too polite!" Liu Yuying said.
To be fair, they were quite satisfied with both families' in-laws; the only drawback was that Lu Zhengjun died young…
Forget it, it's the Lunar New Year, let's not talk about these things.
“I see that Xiaoyuan has grown a bit taller. You’ve taken such good care of him!” Bai Xiuhui said, holding her eldest grandson tightly.
The little guy is so good at winning people over. He hugged his grandma's neck and called out in a sweet, babyish voice, "Grandma!"
