This is why Liu Shengrui is different from other greedy boys.
Mo Cheng was quite satisfied with this. He had always looked down on those gluttonous young men who acted as if they had never seen good food before, thinking that it was a sign of a lack of ambition.
"You can play with this toy anytime, but you must eat well so you can grow up healthy!" Mo Cheng said, not yet angry.
“That’s right, our little Rui, you need to eat well to stay healthy.” Seeing that Liu Shengrui didn’t react, Jiang Rongmei simply walked over, picked up her eldest grandson from the pile of toys, and prepared to take care of him while he ate.
Unexpectedly, this forceful action completely enraged the little tyrant.
Liu Shengrui was having a great time when Jiang Rongmei suddenly picked him up, and he instinctively tried to resist.
"Let go—" he shouted.
Not only did he shout, but Liu Shengrui also exerted all his strength, constantly struggling, trying to break free from Jiang Rongmei's embrace and return to his pile of toys.
"Put me down! Put me down!"
Liu Shengrui continued shouting, his strength making it quite difficult for Jiang Rongmei, who was holding him.
Moreover, Jiang Rongmei was worried about hurting the child, so she didn't dare to use too much force and could only try her best to protect the child and prevent him from falling.
"Xiao Rui, be good. Let's eat first. The toy is right there. We can play with it after we finish eating." Jiang Rongmei coaxed the child, not taking the matter seriously at all.
It's normal for kids to be playful, want to play with toys, and not want to eat.
However, Liu Shengrui's subsequent behavior completely shattered the elderly couple's "normal" thinking, leaving them utterly astonished by this unfamiliar grandson.
"I won't eat, I won't eat!" Liu Shengrui shouted, continuing to struggle, which caused him to get out of Jiang Rongmei's arms.
Jiang Rongmei wanted to hug the child, but Liu Shengrui, who had just stood up, swung his little arms and hit Jiang Rongmei on the body and face.
Liu Shengrui not only used his hands, he also used his words.
"I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!"
"I won't eat it!"
While shouting, he kept swinging his arms to hit people. He didn't look like a child under three years old at all. He was even more terrifying than that little devil.
"Ouch—" Jiang Rongmei was stunned when she was suddenly hit on the face.
She... she was actually hit by her grandson?
A child under three years old?
That's incredible!
"Liu Shengrui, how could you hit someone?!" Jiang Rongmei, realizing what had happened, didn't retaliate, but was heartbroken, looking at her grandson in shock and helplessness.
At this moment, Jiang Rongmei's feelings were extremely complicated.
Mo Cheng stood up abruptly, his hand trembling as he pointed at Liu Shengrui. He looked at his eldest grandson, then at his daughter and son-in-law, his face flushed with anger.
"Hitting someone?! Is this how you usually raise your children? Hitting people, making them fight with their elders?!"
Mo Cheng, having come from the military, places the utmost importance on discipline.
A junior, and not even three years old, dares to lay a hand on an elder. Is there no law anymore?
Moreover, Jiang Rongmei didn't do anything at all. She just invited her grandson over for dinner. For that reason, she resorted to violence. This is definitely due to poor upbringing at home!
Is this little rascal really Mo Cheng's grandson?
Mo Cheng refused to admit it!
"Oh dear, mother-in-law, are you alright!" Zhang Cuihua rushed over, seemingly concerned for Jiang Rongmei, but actually hugging her eldest grandson tightly—
Zhang Cuihua was afraid that Jiang Rongmei might get angry and hit the child. Her eldest grandson was precious, and she couldn't let him be beaten for no reason!
This action further enraged Jiang Rongmei and Mo Cheng.
Indulging children is understandable, but to indulge them to this extent, to the point of losing even the most basic sense of right and wrong, is simply incomprehensible.
No wonder Liu Shengrui turned out this way!
If this isn't corrected in time, this child will truly be ruined!
“Mother-in-law, Xiao Rui is still a child. We can’t just ignore this beating!” Jiang Rongmei stared at Zhang Cuihua, who was fiercely protective of her child.
Zhang Cuihua felt a pang of guilt.
The disparity between the two families makes her feel somewhat insecure when facing her in-laws, and this has now become a habit and an instinct.
“My mother-in-law is right, but Xiao Rui is just a child. I’ll talk to him nicely, hehe…” Zhang Cuihua smiled ingratiatingly and symbolically patted her eldest grandson twice, scolding him, “You naughty Xiao Rui, how could you hit your grandmother? Disobedient, disobedient!”
Jiang Rongmei: "..."
Is this a lesson learned?
This is nothing special!
If the problem is handled like this, let alone Liu Shengrui, no one in his position will learn their lesson. They will also think that hitting someone is not a big deal and will resort to violence again in similar situations in the future!
“Mother-in-law, you can’t spoil the child like this. He’s still young, so you have to take advantage of this time to instill a correct sense of right and wrong in him, otherwise he will be raised to be corrupted!” Jiang Rongmei said.
Her anger wasn't really about being hit. Liu Shengrui was just a child; no matter how strong he was, how much pain could he possibly hurt her? Besides, she wouldn't bother with such a trivial matter as her own grandson.
Jiang Rongmei's anger stemmed from Zhang Cuihua's boundless indulgence of her child, which was not a good thing at all. It was practically driving the child to the brink of death. How could a child raised in such a way possibly achieve anything great?
It's hard to say whether it will even grow into a normal, good seedling.
“Mother-in-law, you’re exaggerating. Xiao Rui is only a few years old. He doesn’t have any bad intentions. He’s just playful. When he’s a couple more years older, he’ll naturally understand these things!” Zhang Cuihua was still using her old-fashioned ways and didn’t realize the seriousness of the matter at all.
The two sides are not considering things on the same level, so they cannot communicate at all, and there is no need to communicate.
"Hmph, this is outrageous!" Mo Cheng stormed off in anger.
He couldn't stand it anymore, but he couldn't bring himself to argue with an ignorant old woman like Zhang Cuihua. Besides, they were in-laws, so he could only let it go and leave.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Dad, Mom!" Mo Youyou panicked and hurriedly chased after her parents. Before leaving, she slapped Liu Dekai on the shoulder. "Tell your mother what she's done to you! Look what she's made of this!"
Liu Dekai was also very troubled.
Zhang Cuihua was very obedient to her son in other aspects. She basically did whatever Liu Dekai said and never caused her son any major trouble.
When it comes to her grandson, Zhang Cuihua is incredibly stubborn. Even Liu Dekai's words have no effect. She feels that she is wholeheartedly devoted to her grandson, and that these people don't understand. She has to protect her grandson, otherwise he will suffer terribly.
"Mom, didn't I tell you not to spoil Xiao Rui like this in front of them? A perfectly good meal has been ruined like this. Are you satisfied now?" Liu Dekai said helplessly, pinching his brow to calm himself down.
