"Treating people like toys? What's going on here?"
"That kid was wearing a Superman costume, and Liu Shengrui's favorite toy is Superman. When someone wears a Superman costume, he treats them like a toy and plays with them..."
"Ah, this...this does sound like someone with intellectual development problems. If that's true, then they're really quite stupid!"
At least everyone knows that their own child would never mistake another child for a toy just because the other child is wearing toy-related clothing; the difference is too great.
The military wives were initially whispering among themselves, but as they talked, they lost their voices and Zhang Cuihua overheard a few words.
Zhang Cuihua had just been "beaten" by her eldest grandson and was still in shock and distress when she overheard the military wives gossiping. She immediately exploded and couldn't hold back any longer.
"Shut up, you bunch of gossipy old women, all of you shut up!"
"I think you're all just jealous of our Xiao Rui. He's so smart, intelligent, well-behaved, and kind. He's not the stupid kid you're making him out to be. How can you be so mean, saying such hurtful things to a child? What did Xiao Rui do to you that makes you hate him so much?!"
"Let me tell you, if you dare to gang up on Xiao Rui, I will definitely not let you get away with it. Our Xiao Rui is not stupid at all, not stupid at all!"
Zhang Cuihua was so angry that she jumped up and down. Now she couldn't stand any of the military wives.
The military wives, whose identities had been exposed, didn't react much. They suddenly shut up and stopped saying anything. Even if they wanted to say something, they tried their best not to let Zhang Cuihua notice.
Right now, taking Liu Shengrui to the hospital for a check-up is the most important thing.
So Zhang Cuihua didn't linger. After cursing a few times, she quickly took her grandson to the military hospital.
Qiao Xinruo is indeed a doctor. Although she just said she could examine Liu Shengrui, Zhang Cuihua doesn't believe her at all.
"She's a heartless, rotten thing. If I let her see Xiao Rui, wouldn't that be pushing Xiao Rui into a fire pit? Anyway, I don't believe she'll do a good job of seeing Xiao Rui!" Zhang Cuihua muttered to herself.
Upon arriving at the military hospital, Zhang Cuihua began to shout loudly.
"Help! Doctor, help me!"
She made a huge scene, which frightened the doctors and nurses so much that they thought it was a scene requiring emergency care and even brought out an ambulance.
But then they saw a lively grandmother and granddaughter.
"Auntie, please don't shout. What's going on? Please tell me."
"Doctor, please save my son Xiao Rui! He was just beaten by two kids, pinned to the ground and beaten. Please check him quickly to see if he's injured!" Zhang Cuihua said anxiously.
"You were hit?" The doctor placed Liu Shengrui on the ambulance and prepared to examine him.
“Yes!” Zhang Cuihua embellished the story, portraying Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an as two children more terrifying than demons, and gave a general account of the whole incident.
"In that case, we need to give the child a full check-up to see if there are any injuries," the doctor said, first examining the surface.
On the surface, Liu Shengrui appeared unharmed and perfectly fine.
But we can't just look at the surface. The most important thing is to assess whether there is any internal damage, that's the most crucial thing.
"An examination?" Zhang Cuihua asked hesitantly.
The checkup itself was a small matter, but it cost money. A full set of checkups would be quite expensive, which made Zhang Cuihua a little reluctant to spend the money. After all, her family's money didn't grow on trees, and she hated spending money, especially money that wasted.
However, without an examination, the doctor couldn't guarantee whether Liu Shengrui was actually injured, putting Zhang Cuihua in a dilemma.
"Auntie, are you going to have your child checked?" the doctor asked.
"Okay, let's check!" Zhang Cuihua finally made the decision.
She was indeed worried about the money, but she loved her eldest grandson even more.
If spending some money can determine whether Liu Shengrui is injured or not, then it's definitely worth the money.
"Nurse, let's take the patient down for examination."
Zhang Cuihua followed him closely the whole way until Liu Shengrui finished all the tests. After waiting for quite a while, she finally received all the results.
"Don't worry, everything's fine. The child is perfectly healthy and unharmed," the doctor concluded after reviewing the report.
A huge weight was finally lifted from Zhang Cuihua's heart.
Thankfully, my eldest grandson is alright!
If something really happens to her, how will she explain it to Mo Youyou? Mo Youyou will definitely have another big fight with her.
"It's alright, it's alright." Zhang Cuihua was relieved and kept repeating this sentence. The big stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground.
"Come on, Xiao Rui, Grandma will take you home. Let's go home!" Zhang Cuihua said, happily taking her eldest grandson's hand and heading home.
When she got home, Mo Youyou and Liu Dekai were already back, and Zhang Cuihua immediately started complaining.
"Let me tell you, these people in the compound are really going too far, really going too far!" Zhang Cuihua slapped her thigh in anger, looking indignant.
"What's going on?" Liu Dekai frowned.
Mo Youyou pointed to Xiaomi, who had been placed to the side, and looked at the grandmother and granddaughter, asking, "Did you take Xiaomi out with you today? Why did you leave Xiaomi outside? It was an older sister-in-law who helped bring her back."
The "battle" just now was too intense, and Liu Shengrui had no time to pay attention to Xiaomi.
In addition, Zhang Cuihua was in a hurry to take Liu Shengrui for a check-up, and she neglected Xiaomi's existence. As a result, Xiaomi was held by other children until they all left, and then a woman brought her own child to return Xiaomi to her.
Just then, Liu Dekai and Mo Youyou came home from get off work and bumped into each other.
"If you can't take good care of Xiaomi, you might as well not take her out anymore. She looks so thin and small, don't scare her anymore," Mo Youyou said.
"Hmph! Things aren't that simple!" Zhang Cuihua said angrily.
She was seething with anger and needed to vent it, and the best way to do that was to talk it out.
"I took Xiao Rui to buy groceries today. After we bought the groceries, we went back to the compound and ran into..."
Zhang Cuihua recounted the whole story.
Of course, everyone has a different perspective.
From Zhang Cuihua's perspective, she and Liu Shengrui were the biggest victims today, while Qiao Xinruo and the group of military wives were the perpetrators. Naturally, she had many complaints.
"Hmph, the reason Qiao Xinruo is making things difficult for you and Xiao Rui is definitely because of Su Yueya! I wonder what that bitch says about us at home. Only a brainless person like Qiao Xinruo would believe Su Yueya's words!"
"They deserved it!"
"If Su Yueya hadn't been so mean to Qiao Xinruo, saying bad things about me and Xiao Rui, why would Qiao Xinruo have done this today?" Mo Youyou said with a displeased expression.
