Because in this era, there are many mothers who are even more outrageous than Zhang Sumei. For example, there are many cases of mothers sacrificing their daughters for their sons' future.
Even worse are those biased old mothers and grandmothers in the countryside who beat and scold their daughters and granddaughters at the drop of a hat; they are much more ruthless than Zhang Sumei.
Besides, Zhang Sumei is quite good at maintaining appearances; most people don't know how she treats her two children at home.
Because when she talks about her children outside, she always has a smile on her face.
Only members of the Liu family, or those close to her, knew that she was somewhat biased, but that was all; there was no more bias than that.
"Mom, I'm sorry, that naughty Meow Meow has run off somewhere to play. You asked me to bring her in, but I can't bring her here."
Liu Shile entered the house and spoke before her mother could react. Her eyes and brows showed seriousness and doubt, and she seemed very sincere.
Then she added, "By the way, Mom, why did you ask me to bring Miaomiao in? I heard it hasn't been home all day, it shouldn't have caused any trouble, right?"
She said this right from the start, looking very innocent, which made Zhang Sumei's forehead veins throb.
Liu Weisong was also watching from the side. Seeing his youngest daughter like this, he felt quite gratified. This child had matured a lot since the troubles that had befallen the family.
Thinking of this, he glanced at his son again and sighed inwardly. This child still has a long way to go. Why didn't he just get straight to the point from the start?
It's perfectly natural for an older brother to discipline his younger brother; what's wrong with that?
Unfortunately, his wife was right there, so he couldn't say these words to the child. He hoped that Lele's words would make him more clever.
"Yes, Mom. Today, Shiping led a group of little kids to chase Miaomiao and even tried to push me into the water, but ended up falling into the river herself."
I tried to help him up, but he wouldn't get up and kept cursing at me, so I slapped him on the butt twice to prevent him from embarrassing himself in public.
Liu Shihua hadn't expected to lay everything bare right from the start, and had just stood there dumbfounded waiting to be scolded. But now, hearing his sister do this right away, he had a sudden inspiration and started to speak up as well.
Upon hearing this, Liu Weisong breathed a sigh of relief. This child did have some intelligence, but his words weren't very eloquent. He shook his head inwardly.
"Oh, you mean you hit your brother and then expect him to thank you for helping him?" Zhang Sumei's face darkened, and she regretted calling that brat in.
She thought that perhaps she should teach this brat a lesson first, and then call this brat in to discipline her. But now, not only can she not find the culprit, but they have also gained the upper hand.
Upon hearing this, Liu Shihua blushed and almost instinctively lowered his head to listen to the reprimand, but then he thought that he hadn't done anything wrong, so why should he listen to the reprimand?
So he explained, "Mom, that's not what I meant, but Shiping's mouth is just too foul. If we don't teach him a lesson while he's still young..."
"Ping'er is still so young, and I'm not even dead yet. You, as his older brother, treat him like this. If we two old fogies disagree with you in the future, will you punish us too?"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Sumei began to mock him, and then looked at Liu Weisong and said, "Look at their attitude."
"My body has only been injured for a few days! Your leg has only been injured for a few days! And now they're going to be in charge of the household, waaaaah~"
As she spoke, she began to sob and cry, wiping her eyes with a handkerchief as she cried, but the tears just kept falling like they were free.
Although Liu Weisong felt that his wife was being unreasonable, he was also impatient to listen to her crying, so he could only say, "Stop crying, they didn't mean it that way."
"Waaah~ I've followed you for so many years, bearing your children and raising your younger brother. Now that my eldest brother has just disappeared, you all gang up on me to bully me, don't you?"
Zhang Sumei wouldn't listen to any of that. She was determined to cry until the two of them gave in, otherwise she would lose all her authority in the family.
These two brats have been talking back to her time and time again. If this continues, won't they turn the world upside down?
Liu Shile was annoyed by her wailing. "Mom, just get to the point. What are you doing rubbing your eyes with that garlic handkerchief? Look, it's making your eyes water."
Seriously, she can't even act properly, she's not professional at all, she needs external aids to shed tears, and she expects me to back down? Of course not.
Zhang Sumei, who was wiping away her tears with a handkerchief and preparing to continue her sobbing, paused upon hearing this, her face stiffening. How did this brat know that she was holding a handkerchief stained with garlic juice?
Liu Shihua, who was just about to apologize and smooth things over, was completely bewildered. What did this mean?
The scent of garlic juice wafted through the air, but I couldn't place the aroma of Liu Weisong...
Once Zhang Sumei realized she had been exposed, she became furious and grabbed a teacup, which she then threw at Liu Shile.
She was incredibly fast, and her aim was quite deliberate—she was aimed directly at Liu Shile's face. If Liu Shile were hit, she would be injured at best, and disfigured at worst.
In short, she will need to stay home to recover from her injury for a while. After all, it's on her face, and how can a young woman go out with an injury on her face?
She originally intended to beat Liu Shihua so badly he couldn't get out of bed, but then she realized that if she hit him too hard, he would definitely dodge. Now that this brat had exposed her act, she had no choice but to take the opportunity to hit him!
But was Liu Shile just going to stand there obediently and wait to be hit?
No, that's not it. So she quickly took two steps, perfectly avoiding the teacup flying towards her.
With a "crash," the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Fortunately, the shards did not scatter everywhere, but only in one circle.
"Mom, be careful, don't slip again. You always teach us to be thrifty and frugal. It's such a waste to break this bowl and have to buy a new one."
Liu Shile's eyes widened as if she were frightened, but what she said made Zhang Sumei want to vomit blood.
Indeed, when she used to make various excuses not to give the twins money to buy school supplies, she would often tell them to be thrifty and how hard it was to earn money.
When Liu Shile used those words to shut her up, she was stunned for a moment, and then she flew into a rage, "Fine, fine, Liu Weisong, look at the children you raised, is this how you treat me!"
Liu Weisong also had a headache with this daughter. The child was really too impolite. Wasn't what she said making her mother lose face?
"Alright, alright, can't we all just say less? If you have something to say, say it; if not, let's call it a day." Liu Weisong was also helpless and could only try to smooth things over.
It's obvious that the wife wanted to take this opportunity to lash out, and the children, no longer as obedient and submissive as before, have ended up like this.
He sighed inwardly, realizing that his family could never be the same as before.
