At this moment, Shen Qingtang took out an ostrich egg larger than a fist from her spatial storage.
She put them in a pot to boil. After they were cooked, she took out the ostrich eggs and handed them to the two children: "Let's get a bigger toy and try tapping this. Same as always, just tap until it cracks."
The two children stared at the ostrich eggs in front of them, their eyes full of curiosity.
The girl first reached out and gently touched the eggshell, then imitated how she had cracked eggs before, adjusting her strength little by little.
The boy joined in, and the two of them tapped the ostrich egg together, one tapping it at a time.
His originally dull face gradually broke into a smile, and he would even whisper an "uh" to remind the other person if they tapped too hard.
Su Xiuniang stood aside, watching the children's endless joy.
Watching the liveliness gradually return to their eyes.
She covered her mouth in shock.
Are these still her two children who show no reaction to the outside world?
They not only interact, but they also get happy over the smallest things!
Seeing this, Shen Qingtang realized that the two children were indeed autistic and had previously shut themselves off from the outside world.
And "crack the eggshell" is a simple game with clear feedback.
This has opened a small channel for them to communicate with the outside world. As long as we continue to guide them, they will definitely get better gradually.
"Don't worry, it will be alright." Shen Qingtang walked to Su Xiuniang's side and comforted her softly, "Let them play for a while every day from now on, and then slowly teach them to speak and recognize things. In time, they will be just like normal children."
Su Xiuniang nodded vigorously.
A glimmer of hope finally appeared in her tears: "Yes! I'll listen to you! Thank you, Miss Chen..."
Watching the two children playing around the ostrich egg, Lu Jiaojiao began to mock again: "What a waste of effort! A fool is a fool, no matter how much you teach him, he'll never become a normal person!"
Shen Qingtang ignored her and turned to continue picking herbs nearby.
Before long, he returned with a handful of bright green herbs, which he boiled into a bowl of dark green medicinal liquid.
Lu Jiaojiao leaned over for a look, then immediately frowned and backed away: "How disgusting! Shen Qingtang, you just love making these filthy things; it makes me want to vomit!"
Lu Jin echoed, his tone full of doting: "Jiaojiao, don't pay attention to her, lest she offend your eyes. Shen Qingtang, what exactly do you want?"
Lin Peirou also spoke softly and weakly: "Sister-in-law, how could you make such a disgusting thing? What if it scares Jiaojiao..."
People around them were also talking about it, saying that the medicine looked like "poop" and was very unsightly.
Shen Qingtang carried the medicine bowl and walked step by step to Lu Jiaojiao.
Before she could react, he reached out and grabbed her chin, then forcefully smeared the medicine onto her lips.
"Ugh! You..." Lu Jiaojiao was about to open her mouth to curse, but found that her throat was blocked and she could not say a word. She could only stare at Shen Qingtang with wide eyes and a look of horror on her face.
"Jiaojiao!" Lu's mother screamed and rushed over, while Lu Jin roared angrily, his eyes red, "Shen Qingtang, are you crazy! What did you do to Jiaojiao?!"
Shen Qingtang raised her hand and slapped Lu Jin hard across the face again.
The crisp sound of a slap silenced the dilapidated temple instantly. Lu Jin covered his face, staring at her in disbelief: "You...you dare hit me? You weren't like this before! You used to obey me and indulge Jiao Jiao in every way, how did you become like this?"
He started playing the victim, his voice filled with grievance: "You're not acting like a mother at all! Jiaojiao is your own daughter, how could you treat her like this? And me, I'm your husband, how could you hit me! Quickly, give Jiaojiao the antidote! What kind of drug did you give her?!"
Shen Qingtang looked at him coldly, her tone completely flat: "First, this isn't poison, it's medicine to shut her up. Her mouth is too dirty, she needs to wash it. Second, I was blind to be good to you before. I'm hitting you now to wake you up. Third, whether I act like a mother or not is none of your business, you beast."
Her sharp gaze swept over Lu Jin and his mother: "If you dare to point fingers at me or my people again, next time it won't be as simple as applying medicine or slapping them."
Lu Jin was intimidated by her aura and couldn't say anything to refute her. He could only watch helplessly as Lu Jiaojiao's face turned red.
But he couldn't make a sound, and he felt both angry and scared.
