How could they be so brutal?
How could someone show such an expression of enjoyment and immersion while committing violence?
If it weren't for genes, if it weren't for nature, all of this truly defies description and explanation.
"Husband, what are you saying?" Mo Youyou's smile was utterly pathetic. She shook her head, looking at her son being held by her mother-in-law, her voice trembling. "You're joking, right? You must be seeing things, yes, you're seeing things..."
Mo Youyou kept shaking her head, it was unclear whether she wanted to deny Liu Dekai's words or the facts.
Zhang Cuihua also refused to believe it. Her eldest grandson had been so well-behaved lately, making such great progress, and everyone liked him. How could he possibly do such a thing in private?
“Son, are you training too much and your eyes are hallucinating? Are you under too much pressure?” Zhang Cuihua asked, her face also showing disbelief.
"Heh..." Liu Dekai laughed.
He wasn't surprised at all by their reaction; in fact, he had already guessed it would be the most normal reaction.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, if he hadn't experienced it firsthand, he wouldn't have been able to believe it, nor would he have dared to believe it, even if someone else told him.
But he was a firsthand witness, and he could no longer deceive himself.
"Haha! You think that's all? You can't even handle a little dog abuse? Hahaha..."
“I saw him abusing a dog, so I spanked him and taught him a lesson. He then headbutted me. I was so shocked that I wasn’t paying attention and he knocked me down, injuring my arm. He was crying from being hit, but when he saw me injured, he immediately laughed. He laughed so hard, and then kicked my injured arm while laughing!” Liu Dekai started by laughing, but as he spoke, his tone turned fierce.
"What?!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were shocked again, even petrified.
Everything Liu Dekai said matched the scene they saw when they rushed over.
Mo Youyou instinctively covered her mouth. She couldn't believe it and couldn't accept it. Her own son was not only abusing dogs, but also kicking his father's injured arm repeatedly.
What kind of behavior is this?
For a long while, Mo Youyou and Zhang Cuihua were speechless.
Zhang Cuihua, in particular, was originally holding her eldest grandson and comforting him, but now the look in her eyes when she looked at him had changed, filled with pain and struggle.
Liu Dekai has no need to speak, much less spread rumors about his own son.
So, everything is true?
"Hiss—" The pain from his elbow became clearer, pulling Liu Dekai back to reality from his agony and absurdity.
The most important thing now is to check the condition of his arm. As for Liu Shengrui... he's already in this state, can it get any worse?
"Honey, what happened to your arm?" Mo Youyou was also pulled back to reality, looking at Liu Dekai's arm in a sling, feeling both fear and worry. "It's not broken, is it?"
How hard did the son kick?
"It's not broken, it's more like a dislocation. You need to take me to the hospital right away!" Liu Dekai said.
“Okay, let’s go to the hospital.” Mo Youyou nodded.
The shock was so great that she was left with a blank mind and didn't know what to do for a moment. She could only listen to Liu Dekai and take him to the hospital to have his arm checked.
"Then Xiao Rui..."
Originally, they wanted Zhang Cuihua to stay home and take care of the children, but Zhang Cuihua refused and insisted on going to the hospital together to see what was wrong.
“I’m worried about Dekai’s arm. I have to go to the hospital with him to check on it,” Zhang Cuihua said. Although she was still holding Liu Shengrui, her attitude was quite firm.
But no one was home. It was obviously not appropriate to leave Liu Shengrui alone at home. Should we take him to the hospital together?
"Hmph—" Liu Dekai turned his head. He was clearly not happy to see the child now, especially since the condition of his arm was still uncertain, which made him feel even more annoyed by Liu Shengrui.
“I’ll ask Sister Yue next door to watch over him,” Mo Youyou said, taking the child from her mother-in-law and carrying Liu Shengrui to the Du family’s house next door to knock on the door.
"Youyou? Is there something you need?" Yuan Yue was a little surprised. After all, her family's relationship with the Liu family was only so-so. They weren't close neighbors, but they weren't enemies either. She really couldn't understand why they would come to her door.
"Sister Yue, I'm really sorry, but my husband injured his arm, and my mother-in-law and I have to take him to the medical department to get it checked out. It's really inconvenient to take Xiao Rui with us, so... could you please watch over Xiao Rui for me for a while? We'll come pick him up as soon as we get back after we finish dealing with my husband's arm!" Mo Youyou requested.
Given the relationship between the two families, Yuan Yue didn't want to take on this task, since they weren't that close and their relationship was just so-so.
But they said there was a reason, and it was a very serious reason—Liu Dekai had injured his arm and needed to go to the medical department—that made it hard to refuse.
Since they are neighbors, Yuan Yue couldn't possibly go too far. Besides, everyone now knows that Liu Shengrui has reformed and is a good kid, so it shouldn't be a problem for her to help watch over him for a while, right?
"Alright then, let Xiao Rui stay at my house for a while, you guys go see the doctor quickly," Yuan Yue said.
"Thank you, Sister Yue!" Mo Youyou was very grateful. She put Liu Shengrui down and said, "Xiao Rui, Mom and Grandma are taking Dad to see the doctor. You stay at Aunt Yuan's house for a while. Mom will come to pick you up soon."
Liu Shengrui still had tear stains on his face. He had been crying and laughing, and his emotions were running high. Now that he had come to his senses, he was a little tired and listless.
"Hmm." Liu Shengrui nodded, then glanced around Yuan Yue's house.
Mo Youyou quickly went to find Liu Dekai and Zhang Cuihua. The three of them discussed it and decided to go to the medical department.
Firstly, the time and distance to the military hospital and the military medical department are roughly the same; secondly, Liu Dekai is a soldier, so when he sees a doctor at the medical department, he only needs to keep a record and does not need to pay, and the military doctors are all highly skilled.
"Son, is your leg alright? Let's hurry up!" Zhang Cuihua walked ahead hastily, afraid that if they were a little late, her son's arm would be ruined.
Liu Dekai remained silent, his expression heavy throughout.
Mo Youyou and Zhang Cuihua thought he was still angry about Liu Shengrui's matter. At this point, they didn't know whether to advise him or not, and they really didn't know how to start the conversation.
But Liu Dekai was considering a different issue.
Whether Liu Shengrui is good or bad, it's just so-so; he can't decide for himself.
But what about the injury on his arm? What if it's too serious? Will it affect his mission? After all, there's only a week left before everyone sets off to carry out the mission. Otherwise, he wouldn't have trained so hard.
