The principal looked at Xiao Hu, who was incredibly fat. His cheeks were so heavy they looked like they were about to sag, and his chin had three layers that covered his neck. During the kindergarten's physical examination last week, Xiao Hu was the heaviest child in the class. The five-year-old already weighed 120 pounds.
The doctor who conducted the physical examination said that the child needs to lose weight. If he continues to consume too much food without control, it will seriously affect the child's health and development.
The headmistress told the old lady to feed Xiaohu more vegetables and fruits and less meat and drinks, but the old lady didn't seem to take it to heart.
"Grandma Xiaohu, Xiaohu can't eat so much meat anymore. The doctor said Xiaohu is overweight, and if he doesn't lose weight, it will affect his development and health. Please don't take this lightly," the kindergarten principal said kindly.
The old lady didn't care and retorted, "It's a blessing for a child to eat a lot. What's so good about being skinny like a monkey? My little tiger is so sturdy and healthy. He's never had a cold since he was a child, unlike Andy, who eats less than a cat and goes to the hospital every few days because he doesn't eat enough."
Her grandson and granddaughter were only two months apart, and she raised them both single-handedly. But Xiao Hu had a big appetite since he was little, and his body was obviously stronger than Andy's. He rarely went to the hospital, and even if he had a stuffy nose, he could get better after taking a packet of cold medicine.
Andy, on the other hand, was completely different. He had to go to the hospital twelve times a year. Medicine for his colds was completely ineffective and made his condition worse. He had to go to the hospital for IV drips to get better, especially during seasonal changes. If anyone in the kindergarten caught a cold, Andy would definitely get one too, while Little Tiger was perfectly fine and full of energy.
The old lady concluded that it all comes down to having a good appetite. Her grandson is healthy because he eats a lot, which is why he's strong. Her grandson is unhealthy because he eats too little. He doesn't eat this or that, and there's nothing he likes to eat. But Xiaohu doesn't dislike any food.
The headmaster tried to reason with her patiently and even brought up the doctor, but the old lady just wouldn't listen and remained stubborn.
"You can't believe everything doctors say. You can only take half of what they say. They'll tell you you're sick when you're not, and they'll tell you a serious illness when you're about to die. I've raised so many children, and they're all very healthy. I'm more experienced than doctors. My little Tiger is growing up so well. Those doctors are just talking nonsense."
The old lady went on and on, and her words were quite disparaging of the doctor. The principal couldn't continue and had to give up, deciding to contact Xiaohu's father later.
"Director, um... could you please talk to that child's mother for me? I was just a bit short-tempered and didn't pay attention to what I said. How about I apologize to her?" The old lady looked troubled, but she was quite upset inside. After being so powerful and domineering for so long, this was the first time she had ever humbled herself!
"I'll give it a try, but I don't think the chances are high. Little Pig Mom is really angry this time. Little Tiger Grandma, you'd better watch your words in the future. The students at our school are all from high-quality families and speak very politely. It's no wonder Little Pig Mom is angry because of what you said!"
The principal didn't have high hopes. If Ye Qingqing were willing to listen to advice, she would have done so just now. However, she still wanted to give it a try. If a lawsuit were to be filed, the kindergarten would also be in trouble.
Seeing that the kindergarten director wouldn't give a definite answer, the old lady looked unhappy and left muttering to herself, "City people are so petty, they'll take a few words to court. Let them take it, I'm not afraid..."
The voice wasn't quiet; the kindergarten director heard a few words and shook his head helplessly. She still hadn't realized her mistake; this old lady was truly bizarre.
