"Besides, our Xiao Rui will be three years old soon. Isn't it normal for him to be more sensible and obedient? These changes are natural as children grow up!"
Mo Youyou finally experienced what it meant to feel triumphant.
That was awesome!
She felt incredibly frustrated before because of Liu Shengrui's immaturity, but now she felt just as good.
Seeing the military wives who believed in Mo Youyou being completely fooled, and the military wives who believed in Su Yueya, I felt both amused and annoyed.
It's unbelievable that one person dares to say something that's completely baseless, and the other dares to believe it!
What is Liu Shengrui like at home? Has anyone seen him?
That's all thanks to Mo Youyou's mouth. She can make up whatever she wants. What's with asking her mother-in-law? Aren't they all family? How could they disagree?
Besides, they've seen what kind of old hag Zhang Cuihua is; she's no less skilled at sophistry than Mo Youyou.
Unable to bear seeing Mo Youyou so smug, the military wives couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.
"Oh, Youyou, your Xiaorui seems to be behaving very well today."
Upon seeing this, Mo Youyou was overjoyed.
Wasn't this military wife just with Su Yueya? Has she been "turned" by her?
It was incredibly satisfying to be able to win someone over from Su Yueya's side and bring them to her side. Mo Youyou thoroughly enjoyed this sense of victory and greeted the military wife with a smile.
"Sister, our Xiao Rui is really well-behaved. Before, someone deliberately smeared him. I know it wasn't you, it was someone else. Don't worry, I'm the kind of person who keeps things separate. I won't randomly pin other people's mistakes on innocent people. I'm a very reasonable person!" Mo Youyou said, still trying to win others over.
The military wives found it even funnier.
If she hadn't lived in this family compound for a long time, she might have been fooled by Mo Youyou's few words.
Unfortunately, many people know exactly what Mo Youyou is really like, and they can't be so easily convinced. Otherwise, wouldn't they be doing a disservice to the thing on their necks?
"Yes, you're quite magnanimous," the military wife deliberately echoed Mo Youyou, then feigned surprise, "But Youyou, have you noticed that your Xiao Rui is talking a little strangely?"
"Strange? What's strange about it?" Mo Youyou suddenly became visibly guilty.
"Didn't you just say he's almost three years old? I remember when my son was less than two years old, he could already speak in complete sentences, unlike Xiao Rui who just spits out a few words at a time. Don't you two care about Xiao Rui enough?" the military wife said, her eyes not showing concern, but full of mocking amusement.
She never actually "defected," she just couldn't stand Mo Youyou's boasting and smugness, thinking everyone was a fool.
Another military spouse stepped forward to help.
“That seems to be the case. I think Xiao Rui doesn’t seem very bright. He’s almost three years old, and his speech is still so halting. Is it because…” The military wife pointed to her temple and whispered, “Could there be something wrong here? Has he ever fallen? Are you adults all so careless?”
All that talk was just an act; the central idea was just one thing.
Does Liu Shengrui have something wrong with his brain?
Mo Youyou was furious, almost trembling all over.
She had thought the two military wives had come to surrender, but she never expected that after going around in circles, they were actually indirectly criticizing her son for having mental problems. Who could stand that?
But Mo Youyou couldn't refute it, because that was exactly what Liu Shengrui said.
It's very disjointed; he often breaks off several words at a time.
And this has always been the case; even though Mao Dongjian taught for a long time, there has been almost no progress in this area.
The other military wives who were on Mo Youyou's side heard this and felt it was a bit too much.
After all, this is tantamount to pointing fingers and insulting someone.
"Aren't you being a bit harsh with your words? We're all from the same compound, there's no need to say things like that."
"Exactly! What mother could stand hearing something like that? If it were you, could you handle it?"
"Be lenient when you can. It's not like you have any huge grudge, so why bother?"
These two military wives are very clear-headed and will not be led astray by their moral blackmail.
“I’d say you’re the ones who’re really confused. Do you want to listen to what you’re saying? Which of my words was false? If I were spreading rumors or slandering, that would be really offensive, but I’m just telling the truth. I was trying to kindly remind Youyou, afraid that she might neglect her child’s development, and you’re making me look bad?”
"That's right! Can't you see or hear that Liu Shengrui doesn't speak fluently? We just brought this up so that Youyou would pay more attention to it. How come our good intentions are being treated like dirt? Sigh, I know the truth is hard to hear, but you can't just deliberately make things up because it's hard to hear. That's what's really harmful!"
The two military wives were incredibly capable and spoke with impeccable eloquence, making it impossible for anyone, including Mo Youyou, to find fault with them, even if they wanted to.
"Since they think our concern is unnecessary, let's just forget about it and not bother trying to win them over!"
"Yes, yes, if they don't like us, so be it, we won't force it!"
As they spoke, the two military wives walked away happily, chatting and laughing, completely unaffected by the criticisms from the other military wives. On the contrary, they were in even better spirits.
Once they were out of sight, the two of them burst into loud laughter.
"Hahaha! This is hilarious! Did you see that just now? Mo Youyou's face is blacker than the bottom of my pot!"
"I saw it, hahaha..." The military wife laughed so hard she almost fell over. "I really can't stand her. When her own child bullied others before, did she ever sincerely apologize? Today she was being sarcastic, showing off, and mocking others again. I just couldn't stand it anymore, so I couldn't help but say those things!"
"Me too. To be honest, what does it matter to us what happens to her child? But I just can't stand her behavior!"
Mo Youyou was arrogant and spoiled by nature. Relying on her father being a brigade commander, she was used to looking down on people.
There were already quite a few people in this compound who had a lot of complaints about her.
Because of this unexpected turn of events, those who were originally on Mo Youyou's side seemed to waver a bit. After all, what the two military wives said was true; it was a fact that Liu Shengrui spoke haltingly and incoherently.
But it's also true that Mo Youyou doesn't like to hear, and can't stand, such truths.
