Thus, the war between the two women came to an end.
Liu Shengrui, who had been quiet just moments before, suddenly felt bored when he saw that his mother and grandmother had stopped arguing. Then he remembered his broken toys and started crying again.
"I want a toy! I want a toy!"
It's the same old routine: yelling and screaming, then rolling around on the ground and kicking his legs. He won't stop until he gets the toy.
Mo Youyou was absolutely in a headache.
"Xiao Rui, stop it. They even came to our house and knocked on the door. Can you be good?" Mo Youyou was exhausted. She had already tried her best to control her emotions by refraining from hitting Liu Shengrui.
"No—I want a toy, I want a toy!"
If Liu Shengrui were so easy to coax, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
He was still throwing a tantrum.
Mo Youyou felt disgusted by his behavior. Even though she was the spoiled little princess of the Mo family, she was not as unreasonable as Liu Shengrui. Her son's current state was all thanks to that old hag Zhang Cuihua.
Thinking of this, Mo Youyou glared fiercely at Zhang Cuihua again.
The person being glared at felt nothing.
"Liu Shengrui, listen to me! It's so late now, even if we go out, will we still be able to buy toys?" Mo Youyou got angry again.
Since reasoning won't work, resort to threats or even physical violence.
"If you cry again, go stand at the door and cry. I don't care anymore. Otherwise, I'll beat you up and see if you behave!" Mo Youyou threatened.
Sure enough, Liu Shengrui continued crying, paused briefly, and then resumed howling even louder.
Mo Youyou lost her patience.
"Fine, looks like you won't behave until I give you a good beating tonight!" Mo Youyou put her hands on her hips and searched the room for a suitable tool.
After all, Liu Shengrui had never been beaten at home, so it was really hard to find a suitable tool for him in a short time.
"You still want to hit the child?" Zhang Cuihua exploded again. Without thinking twice, she picked up Liu Shengrui, who was crying on the ground, and rushed back to her own bedroom. "Mo Youyou, let me tell you, with me here, don't even think about hitting Xiao Rui!"
Mo Youyou: "..."
This is infuriating!
Looking at the bedroom door that Zhang Cuihua had closed, Mo Youyou was truly exhausted. She sighed and went back to her bedroom.
Zhang Cuihua held her eldest grandson, coaxing him to stop fussing while promising to take him out to buy new toys first thing tomorrow morning.
"Little Rui, be good. Grandma's here, and she won't let anyone bully you. Tomorrow, Grandma will take you to buy toys! Don't cry!"
"Sweetie, don't cry and hurt your throat. Are you thirsty? Grandma will get you some water."
"My little darling, go to sleep now, be a good girl..."
After Zhang Cuihua's persistent coaxing, Liu Shengrui, exhausted from crying, finally calmed down.
"Buy, buy two!" Liu Shengrui pouted, held up two fingers, and started negotiating with Zhang Cuihua.
How could Zhang Cuihua possibly refuse her eldest grandson?
“Okay! Our little Rui is so obedient, I’ll buy two, I’ll buy them tomorrow!” Zhang Cuihua promised happily, not seeing any problem with it at all.
"Two! Two!" Liu Shengrui clapped his hands with joy, completely unaware that his earlier distress had caused any family conflict. He was simply happy that he would have two new toys tomorrow.
Zhang Cuihua didn't take her argument with Mo Youyou to heart anymore. Her eldest grandson smiled, and she smiled contentedly along with him.
When Mo Youyou returned to the bedroom, she found Liu Dekai hiding under the covers like an ostrich, and she was immediately furious.
She had just had a fight with Zhang Cuihua, and her husband, who should have been on her side, hid in the bedroom!
"Liu Dekai!" Mo Youyou sat on the edge of the bed angrily, yanked the blanket off Liu Dekai's head, and complained, "All you do is play dead. What useful thing can you do at a time like this besides playing dead?"
Was the child conceived solely by Mo Youyou?
Why is Liu Dekai so indifferent?
Of course, Mo Youyou had a vague answer in her heart, but she didn't want to, didn't dare to, and didn't dare to delve into it.
"What can I do?" Liu Dekai sat up this time, sighed, and said helplessly, "You and Mom argued like that, what could I do? I'd be wrong no matter who I sided with, and I'd only be blamed if I did!"
Liu Dekai was certainly annoyed.
Normally, Mo Youyou would have had another argument with Liu Dekai.
But today, she was truly exhausted, and the arrival of Yuan Yue and Hu Huifang from next door made her feel incredibly embarrassed, leaving her with little fighting spirit.
I wonder what the rumors will be like in the yard tomorrow...
Mo Youyou hadn't thought much about the argument because she was so caught up in it, but now that she'd calmed down, she figured a lot of people had heard her and Zhang Cuihua arguing.
But Liu Dekai couldn't ignore Liu Shengrui's situation.
"Honey, you need to have a serious talk with your mom. She can't keep spoiling Xiao Rui like this. That's not love for Xiao Rui; it's harming him!"
"What if Xiao Rui is spoiled and ruined in the future? What are you going to do? Xiao Rui is our own son after all. If something happens to him, can you really just abandon him completely?"
Mo Youyou refused to believe that Liu Dekai didn't care about the child at all, after all, he was his own son!
Liu Dekai: "..."
How could he not know there was a problem?
But what could he do?
He knew the root of the problem all too well, and it was precisely because he knew it that he felt even more powerless.
If Liu Shengrui hadn't been Chao Xiong, things would never have gotten this far!
Even if Zhang Cuihua doesn't spoil her children, so what?
No matter how good the education is, it's useless for a child with superhuman genes. He had asked Su Yueya before whether education could defeat innate genes, and the answer was that the possibility was extremely slim.
Looking at Liu Shengrui's current appearance, doesn't it confirm Su Yueya's judgment?
"Don't just sigh and stay silent!" Mo Youyou pushed her husband anxiously, her tone both reproachful and helpless. "Are you going to tell your mother about this or not?"
"Liu Dekai, if you don't want to talk about it, then I'll use my own methods. Don't blame me for being too harsh on your mother later—"
Before Mo Youyou could finish speaking, Liu Dekai finally spoke up.
“Youyou, even if I talk to Mom about this, her old-fashioned ideas and beliefs won’t change in a short time. They say grandparents love their grandchildren more, and she’s a bit too indulgent with Xiaorui. It’s not something I can change her mind with just a few words.”
Liu Dekai rubbed his temples, trying to relieve his headache.
This problem is simply unsolvable.
But Liu Dekai had to appease Mo Youyou first, otherwise the family would be in turmoil. Could he really hide away and never go home? That was unrealistic.
“Think about it, we both have to work and are basically not home during the day. The only person who can take care of the child is my mother. Even if she changes in front of us, what about behind our backs? When we're not around, does she spoil Xiao Rui? Who can know?”
