What happened on her birthday made Ji Beiqing realize that she couldn't spoil her daughter anymore.
From then on, the discipline of Shen Yueyue became much stricter than before.
Shen Shi was pleased to see this happen.
But Shen Yueyue couldn't accept that her usually gentle mother had suddenly become strict.
They made a whole bunch of demands on her, forbidding her from doing this and that!
Shen Yueyue, who has always done whatever she wanted, was naturally unhappy, so she launched a tearful offensive in an attempt to make her mother feel sorry for her.
But this trick that always worked wasn't working anymore. Although Ji Beiqing would still coax her, he wouldn't grant her requests.
After her tantrums failed, Shen Yueyue began to give her mother the cold shoulder and deliberately ignored Ji Beiqing.
Ji Beiqing's daughter was the apple of her eye, and seeing her sullen child made her heart ache just as much.
However, for the sake of her daughter's future, Ji Beiqing still chose to persist and did not soften her stance or change her position just because Shen Yueyue threw a tantrum.
Shen Shi felt sorry for Ji Beiqing and offered to educate her daughter himself, but Ji Beiqing refused.
Ji Beiqing knew that Shen Yueyue was lawless because she took advantage of Ji Beiqing's affection for her.
No matter how much trouble she gets into, as long as she acts cute and charming, her loving mother will always bail her out.
Shen Yueyue's thinking was correct. She was indeed Ji Beiqing's bottom line. As long as she had a breath left, she would not let her daughter be harmed.
But by the same token, the kind-hearted Ji Beiqing would never allow her daughter to harm others.
Kind-hearted Ji Beiqing couldn't understand why Yueyue would act this way.
She began to reflect on her own overindulgence.
"You're fine, it's just that I spoiled her too much before," Ji Beiqing said dejectedly, unable to understand why.
Her disappointed expression made Shen Shi feel an overwhelming pang of heartache.
“It’s not your fault. There’s no one in the world more suitable to be a mother than you,” he comforted Ji Beiqing, holding her in his arms.
"If anyone is at fault, it is me who is more at fault. I didn't take care of you and Yueyue when you were little, and now I have to make you bear all this alone."
This was a deep-seated guilt that Shen Shi had kept buried in his heart. As he spoke, his voice choked with emotion.
"It's not your fault..." Ji Beiqing shook her head in his arms, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs.
The couple embraced and wept over their child's education.
At Ji Beiqing's insistence, Shen Shi was forced to withdraw from his daughter's education and leave it to Ji Beiqing alone.
Ji Beiqing wants to reintegrate the right values into her daughter's life.
Although her determination was firm enough, Ji Beiqing had always advocated gentle education and never thought of using force against her child.
Therefore, the education of Shen Yueyue can only be carried out gradually, becoming a tug-of-war.
While the mother and daughter were engaged in a protracted battle at home, a major incident also occurred in the Shen family.
Since Shen Shi moved out, he has not contacted his family. His parents have not received any news about him.
At first, Mother Shen thought it was fine; out of sight, out of mind. Her second son was universally disliked, so not seeing him brought peace and quiet.
Without Chen Shi causing trouble at home, Chen's mother's life became much easier.
One day, when she went out to buy groceries, the usually stingy butcher actually gave her a pig liver.
"Young lady, this is a good thing. It's good for replenishing blood. Take it home and add it to your child's meal."
Old Li, a miserly man who never spends a penny, put a large piece of pig liver into Shen's mother's basket.
Mother Shen sensed something was wrong, but adhering to the principle that "a fool wouldn't take advantage of a bargain," she naturally accepted whatever came her way.
"Old Li, you're so generous now that you've won the lottery? We made a deal, this pig liver is a gift from you, no extra charge. Don't try to rip me off like before!"
To prevent him from playing any tricks, Mother Shen said with a wary expression.
Old Li waved his hand with an embarrassed smile, "Young lady, don't belittle me. My good-for-nothing youngest son only has a job to make a living thanks to Xiao Shen. I'm grateful to him, how could I possibly cheat you?"
Mother Shen froze on the spot, thinking that there must be something wrong with her ears.
"What did you say?" Mother Shen stared intently at Old Li with her beady green eyes.
Old Li didn't expect her to react so strongly. After thinking it over carefully, he couldn't find any mistake in what he had said.
But thinking that it's always okay for a mother to praise her son, she started showering Shen Shi with endless praise.
"Your second son is a capable man. He became a big boss so quickly, managing dozens of people. I've always thought this kid is smarter than his brother!"
As Old Li spoke, he gradually became more emotional and put two more spare ribs into the mother's basket.
"Haha~ With such a successful son, you just wait and see..."
Noticing the incredulous look on Shen's mother's face, Old Li finally stopped laughing. "What's wrong?" he asked, puzzled.
"You mean Shen Shi? He became a big boss?"
His good-for-nothing youngest son left home and became a boss?
No matter what, Shen's mother refused to believe it.
"What? You didn't know?" Old Li was equally incredulous. "Xiao Shen has taken on a huge project. My son told me he can make a lot of money from one trip!"
I thought that now, Mother Shen would finally believe me.
Unexpectedly, she remained obstinate, muttering, "There must be a mistake, there must be a mistake..." and left with a blank expression.
Looking at the extra vegetable basket in the butcher shop, Old Li scratched his head in confusion.
During dinner that evening, Old Li told his youngest son about this, which made Li Qi shake his head in disbelief.
Even though Chen Ge has already broken ties with his family, his father still goes out of his way to tell his mother about other people's recent situations.
