Chapter 401 Not Their Match
Just as she selected some canned goods, the shop assistant stared at Shen Zhixia for a while and then said, "Deputy Division Commander's wife, your child is bullying my grandson."
"Huh?" Shen Zhixia's face was blank.
The saleswoman was an old lady, but not too old, around fifty years old, with black hair. Usually, people would give her some face when she sold things here. When Shen Zhixia took the items to pay, she didn't pay, but just stared at Shen Zhixia with a sharp look in her eyes.
“My grandson is only four years old. He was playing with your children before, but he came back yesterday and started crying. At first, I didn’t know why he was crying, but when I took him to bathe, I found that his whole body was swollen. They were all poked by pen tips. It’s so pitiful. How could someone bully him like this when he’s so young?”
Shen Zhixia: "?"
She knew that the two babies often went out to play, and they usually played with the other children in the residential compound. With a bunch of kids gathered together, they would have a companion, so she felt very at ease about it.
But it was just a bunch of kids playing; it didn't escalate into fighting or bullying.
Shen Zhixia knew her two children well; they were simple-minded, chubby, and a bit silly. She thought it was impossible for them to bully others.
Both of her children are very kind and good children.
Shen Zhixia said, "They couldn't possibly have hit anyone. There must be some misunderstanding."
She asked doubtfully, "Are you sure it was my child who bullied your grandson? Maybe you're mistaken."
The elderly saleswoman said directly, "I'm very sure, it's your child, twins. The two children look exactly alike. They're fat and they completely overshadow my grandson. My poor grandson is skinny and weak, and he's no match for them at all."
At this point, the old lady even pretended to cry, leaving Shen Zhixia speechless.
Just then, a three- or four-year-old boy came over. He was dark-skinned and thin, with small eyes that were squinted into slits.
Upon seeing this, the elderly saleswoman quickly said, "Heiwa, come here quickly."
Children at this age are all quite thin, even Wang Xiaojian is very thin. This is related to the fact that people eat less meat. After all, it is a time of food scarcity, and you can see very thin children everywhere on the street. Only Da Bao and Xiao Bao are chubby.
After all, Shen Zhixia's family really eats well. They have meat every day, as well as various fruits and snacks. Naturally, the children raised there are chubby, which is quite different from other children.
At this moment, Heiwa walked over.
The elderly saleswoman simply rolled up his sleeve.
Goodness.
Heiwa's arms were covered in red and purple marks, all kinds of wounds. They weren't very serious, but children's skin is delicate, so these wounds were very noticeable on him.
The elderly saleswoman said with heartache, "Look at this, is this something a human being would do? He has so many injuries like this on his body. Heiwa, you tell me, who did this?"
Heiwa sobbed, "It was those twins. They hit me. One of them pinned me down, and the other stabbed me with the end of a pencil. It hurt so much. I couldn't run away at all."
Shen Zhixia: "..."
As Heiwa finished speaking, he shuddered and exclaimed, "They are terrifying!"
If this is true, it could actually be considered bullying.
The elderly saleswoman said sadly, "Poor thing, how can your child be so heartless at such a young age? This is too domineering. He only bullies my grandson because he is honest."
Shen Zhixia did not draw a conclusion directly. She said, "Here's the thing, I'll investigate this matter first. If my child really did such a thing, I will handle it properly and give you an explanation. If not, and you have wronged my child, then you should apologize."
The elderly saleswoman said unhappily, "What do you mean by this? Your child bullied my grandson, and instead of apologizing, you're making me apologize. What kind of logic is that? You actually want us to apologize."
Shen Zhixia glanced at her and said calmly, "We need to get to the bottom of things. We can't just listen to your side of the story."
The elderly saleswoman was a little unhappy, but she still asked another colleague to watch the store for her, and then she took Heiwa to Shen Zhixia's house.
The twins were feeding the rabbits in the yard. The two adorable little guys were focused on their work, and judging from their expressions, they would never do anything to hurt anyone.
Shen Zhixia called them over, and the two babies immediately rushed into their arms, saying in their clear voices, "Mommy."
That cry almost melted her heart.
So she told them about it: "Did you bully Heiwa?"
As he spoke, he pointed at Heiwa. Heiwa glanced at them, then shrank back, looking very afraid of them.
Heiwa is actually four years old, a little older than the twins, but he looks shorter and smaller than the twins.
After all, Shen Zhixia raised the two children very well. Although they were only three years old, they were taller and bigger than normal children.
It seems her two children are quite capable of bullying others.
Cough cough...
But after meeting the twins' innocent eyes, Shen Zhixia felt that they were innocent.
Da Bao, however, said crisply, "Yes, that's right, he deserved to be beaten."
Xiao Bao waved his fist and said, "Next time I see you, I'll beat you up again."
Shen Zhixia: "..."
Okay, she thinks they're innocent, and that it's all just wishful thinking on her part.
The elderly saleswoman immediately began to lament, "Look, they're still bullying my grandson. My grandson is so pitiful. He hasn't done anything wrong, yet he's being bullied. He's so miserable. He's my precious son. At home, I can't bear to say a word to him, but he's being bullied like this outside."
Shen Zhixia suddenly felt a bit disgusted. She didn't think the old lady loved Heiwa that much. It was clearly a matter between the children, but the old lady was acting like a drama queen, constantly adding drama to her story.
"Why did you hit him?" Shen Zhixia asked.
Da Bao exclaimed excitedly, "I bought some cookies, and he tried to steal them from me and even hit me!"
She gestured wildly as she said, "I was terrified, so I tried to grab my cookies back, and he ended up being pinned to the ground by my butt, unable to get up at all."
Xiao Bao proudly said, "I poked him with a pencil."
They were initially terrified, but they were surprised to find that Heiwa was no match for them at all, and they were overjoyed.
