"Liar, liar, a liar who talks big."
"Wow!" Xie Tianci was even more isolated because he didn't bring his motorcycle and airplane, and he cried so much that the teacher had to call Zuo Shan to pick him up.
So when they got home, another argument ensued: "If we can't buy it, why give him that promise? Do you know what they think of Tianci?"
"I don't like you anymore! I hate you!" Xie Tianci pushed hard and then closed the door.
Zhang Yuefen rubbed her hands helplessly: "I... I just wanted to make Tianci happy. You know, I can't afford it now."
"You were happy then? Well, you're even more unhappy now. How could Tianci have a grandmother like you?"
This time, Zhang Yuefen was scolded by Zuo Shan and dared not raise her head. She tried to coax Xie Tianci for a long time, but when he wouldn't open the door, she finally made up her mind.
She had seen a small motorcycle that a child could play with while she was collecting garbage. So, taking advantage of the fact that the adults were at work and the children were at school during the day, she quietly sneaked into the yard.
When Xie Tianci finally opened the door in the evening because he was hungry, he was overjoyed to see the motorcycle at the door. He smiled and kissed Zhang Yuefen, saying, "I knew Grandma was the best."
Zhang Yuefen felt a sweet warmth in her heart, while Zuo Shan was muttering to herself when the police arrived.
It turns out that the motorcycle wasn't cheap for the owner, and coincidentally, there was a security camera in the yard, which led to their discovery.
The grandmother relentlessly mocked Zhang Yuefen: "If your grandson likes it, just buy it. Why steal my grandson's?"
"This is mine!" Xie Tianci refused to let go, behaving like Zhang Yuefen, both of them were the type to sit on the ground and shout and throw a tantrum.
"This is the surveillance video. Please cooperate with the investigation." The police officer showed the evidence to Zuo Shan, who remained relatively calm.
Zuo Shan blushed. She never expected that Zhang Yuefen would do such a shameless thing just to satisfy her son.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know the car came from there. The old man was ignorant, we'll return it right away." Zuo Shan apologized repeatedly and scolded Xie Tianci to let go.
Zhang Yuefen felt heartbroken seeing her grandson crying, and felt even more uncomfortable seeing the mocking eyes of others: "I thought he didn't want it anymore, so I took it back."
"Things you don't want?" the old woman scoffed loudly. "Who leaves unwanted things in their own yard? Besides, my yard is locked. Officer, this kind of person is a repeat offender and must be arrested."
"It's nothing valuable, I've returned it all to you, what more do you want?"
"Oh, so this thief is pretty arrogant! Is this how you usually are? You return things when someone comes to you, but if there were no security cameras, wouldn't you just keep them for yourself? You're shameless."
Zhang Yuefen's face flushed red: "I don't care about your beat-up car. In the past, I could buy as many as I wanted."
"Then go ahead and buy it! What kind of person steals from my house?" the old woman sneered. "You're already living in this house, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? You think you can buy as much as you want? Are you the richest person in the world?"
"I……"
"Mom!" Zuo Shan warned Zhang Yuefen with her eyes, telling her not to talk about the past. Life is already hard enough, do you want her to suffer scorn here?
Knowing she was in the wrong, Zhang Yuefen swallowed her anger and apologized, "I'm sorry, officer, I didn't mean it. I promise I won't do it again."
The police are also troubled by this. Arresting them isn't worth the money, but an apology seems unfair to the other party. So they can only educate them: "You can't do this again. I've already recorded it. If you're caught again, I won't let you off so easily."
If I were arrested and imprisoned like the old man, and never see my grandson again, what would be the point of living?
Zhang Yuefen's face turned pale: "No, I promise this is the last time."
Although the mediation was over, the family still hurled many nasty insults at her before leaving, and Zuo Shan really didn't want to say another word to Zhang Yuefen.
“If you cause us any more trouble, I will take Tianci and move out, and we will each go our own way.”
“I…” Zhang Yuefen stammered, “I just wanted to make Tianci happy.”
"Hmph! Tianci, let's go back to our room and ignore Grandma."
While things were in chaos on their side, Song Xia and Lingling were living completely different lives.
Without their harassment and with Aunt Liu taking care of them, life couldn't be more comfortable.
Regarding Xie Yuan's matter, Song Xia didn't say much to Lingling, only that her father and grandparents had done something wrong to her and her mother, so they went elsewhere.
Lingling nodded thoughtfully: "Mom, the teacher said that if you make a mistake, you will be punished. Lingling knows that."
"What if Lingling misses them later?"
"Lingling doesn't want to." She shook her little head. "Lingling will only be sad when Mommy is gone."
She hugged Song Xia and said in a muffled voice, "I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed that my grandparents and father treated my mother badly and even locked her up, so I don't like them."
Song Xia's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Lingling dreamed about the consequences of the system failing to find her?
She hugged Lingling tightly: "Dreams are all fake, Lingling, don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid as long as my mom is here."
"Mom will always be there for Lingling as she grows up. Have you decided where to go this weekend? Aunt Yu Ting and Aunt Qian Qian both said they have time. Whereever you decide, we'll go."
The child's attention was indeed diverted, and his little face flushed with excitement: "Shall we go camping? Lily said she went last time and it was so much fun. She could catch little fish and see the stars."
Song Xia nodded: "Then let's go camping, bring your favorite little cakes, skewer them, and have a barbecue together."
"I love my mom's roast meat." She licked her lips as she spoke, then smiled shyly at Song Xia, "Mom's roast meat is the best."
"Okay, Mom will grill lots and lots of meat for you, but I don't know if your little tummy can hold it all."
As the mother and daughter played together, Lingling, being shorter and smaller, could only laugh and beg for mercy.
Aunt Liu came out of the kitchen and saw this scene. She felt a great weight lifted off her shoulders. It was good that those people would never come to bother her again.
"Aunt Liu, ask Qianqian if she's coming over for a meal. She doesn't need to work overtime every day." While playing with her daughter, Song Xia said to Aunt Liu that although Xie Yuan hadn't been formally sentenced yet, Liu Qian no longer needed to be by Lingling's side all the time. Now that she had taken back the company, she had arranged a suitable position for Liu Qian.
"She finally found a job she likes, and she's full of energy right now. Plus, you two have already made plans to go out this weekend, so she probably won't come. Don't worry about her, she knows what she's doing." Aunt Liu smiled broadly. She was very content now. She didn't have to worry about her daughter's job anymore, and she could take care of Miss and Little Miss at all times. If Madam and Master saw this, they would be at ease.
