This time, Jiang Yan was conflicted, but she eventually agreed with her.
However, what happened in the car and the advice from others made Liu Jianguo realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Mom, can you let Yuxuan stay? It's my fault for being incompetent."
Li Cuihua sighed, "Of course you can keep him, but you should also consider that we may not be able to teach him well."
The old saying goes, "You can tell what a person will be like at three years old." His bad habits have already been formed, and it won't be easy to change them.
"Mom, I know. Please take good care of him. I don't expect him to be very successful, I just want to correct his character. I'm afraid he might get into trouble in the future."
Li Cuihua nodded. "Then let's leave it at that. Yuxuan, you can stay."
Liu Maocai watched his eldest son from the side. Now that he had broadened his horizons and learned a lot, he realized his son had become dull-witted from working too much. Perhaps it was because he hadn't taken his son seriously enough?
It's all my fault; I've been too negligent towards the boss.
"Jiang Yan only has some issues with the child. You two should have a good talk. If she really doesn't agree, don't force her. Try to make more time for Yu Xuan in the future."
Liu Jianguo frowned. "Mom, I understand what you mean. I know what to do."
When Jiang Yan saw Liu Jianguo enter the living room, she quickly stood up and greeted him, "Jianguo!"
Looking at his wife, Liu Jianguo sighed inwardly. Actually, he was satisfied with forming a new family with Jiang Yan. Just as his mother had said, Jiang Yan's only problem was with children; otherwise, she was quite good.
"It's nothing, my parents just scolded me for Yuxuan's lack of manners."
Don't let my family's rural background fool you; you can tell that my parents take our education very seriously.
Otherwise, my three younger siblings wouldn't be so successful.
I know you care about your child, and you're a sensible person. You should know how much time you can spend with your child.
We don't need to compare Yuxuan to other people's children. At least based on your understanding, you should be able to sense that Yuxuan's behavior is inappropriate.
When we get old and can't move around anymore, what will happen to Yuxuan? Will his brothers take care of him? How likely do you think that is?
Sigh! Jiang Yan, think this through carefully. I know how important the child is to you, but you can't let him suffer.
Actually, it's mostly my fault. If I had observed Yuxuan more carefully, the child wouldn't have acted this way.
After Liu Jianguo finished speaking, he stopped moving and sat in the living room. He had just come back to eat and didn't even know where he was staying. He couldn't go back to his room and let Jiang Yan figure things out.
After hearing Liu Jianguo's words, and considering Cai Gang and Er Ya's questioning, as well as the behavior of other people's children, Jiang Yan was not someone who couldn't understand.
“Jianguo, I know this principle, but I just can’t help wanting to be good to the child.”
"Is that good for the child? You're harming him. When he grows up and understands things, he might blame you for not disciplining him properly. He might even become a capable person, but it's because you spoiled him too much when he was young."
Because he's still a child, he doesn't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. But you, as an adult and his mother, didn't correct him beforehand, and that's why he'll hate you later.
Jiang Yan stared, mouth agape, imagining the possibility Liu Jianguo had mentioned. She felt she couldn't bear it.
"Jianguo, I'll listen to you. At worst, I'll come to see the child more often. I agree to let the grandparents raise the child." Jiang Yan panicked. How could her son hate her in the future?
I simply cannot accept this outcome; I dare not even imagine it.
"Yes, your parents are getting old and their energy is limited. They may not be able to educate Yuxuan well, so you should be prepared for that."
Mom said, "You can tell what a person will be like at three years old," and in the end, it's the two of us who have held our child back. Although I don't expect them to be as smart as Ping An and Zhi Yuan, I just hope they can become ordinary people.
But I'm afraid that's just wishful thinking. Think it through carefully; don't place all your hopes on your parents.
Liu Jianguo laid out the unpleasant truth upfront, lest Jiang Yan have too high expectations for the child and then complain about the old man later.
Jiang Yan lowered her head and said sullenly, "I understand. I won't blame anyone."
It was already 2 PM. Er Ya had settled the children before coming over. Seeing the couple sitting in the living room, she said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'll take you to the room I've prepared for you. Go and rest for a while."
After settling the couple in, Er Ya stood outside the door, listening to the interaction of the three children in the playroom.
She sighed inwardly. She had just observed Yu Xuan, and he was still spoiled rotten. She would observe the others later.
If it weren't for her own brother and nephew, Er Ya really wouldn't want to get involved in this matter; she was afraid it would be a thankless task.
As the eldest brother, Zhiyuan took good care of the three of them, and many of their brothers lived with Hongmei, so they would look after each other.
With so many brothers together, they didn't have the bad habit of being selfish since childhood. Although Yu Xuan did have it, they all gave in to him, so things were quite harmonious.
I felt really upset and uncomfortable. I went back to the living room, picked up the phone, and decided to talk to Hongmei. Maybe this child would have to stay with Hongmei in the future.
"Hongmei, your elder brother and sister-in-law have arrived."
"Sister Er Ya, what's wrong?"
“Hongmei, Yuxuan is almost five years old, but this child has a big problem. He is spoiled rotten by his sister-in-law.”
Zhang Hongmei frowned and put down her pen.
"The thing I feared most has happened. When my sister-in-law disagreed with Yuxuan coming over, I thought of this place. I hope my third aunt isn't angry?"
"They're definitely angry. My parents called my older brother out alone."
Hongmei, I want to keep Yuxuan. I want to try my best so that I won't regret it when I see him unhappy in the future.
"Would your sister-in-law agree?" Zhang Hongmei didn't even ask Liu Jianguo's opinion. He was a selfish person; he could even leave his newborn child with his parents. So his opposition wouldn't be too strong.
"Judging from their behavior, it seems that the older brother persuaded his sister-in-law, right?"
"I wanted to just ignore Hongmei out of spite, but she's still a child of the Liu family. I'm afraid that in the future, when her brothers all become successful, she'll resent me."
"Okay, then stay here. If it doesn't work out, send it to me and I'll find someone to teach it to you individually."
"Well, that's all we can do is send it to you. My parents can't really say anything to the child now. He's all grown up and remembers things. We're just afraid he'll resent my parents."
"Alright, now that the decision has been made, what's there to hesitate about? What time will Sanya and her husband be home tonight?"
