When Gu Yuanzhi was one year old, you could already see the difference between her and her older sister. The little one was mischievous and prone to crying, but she was also very good at reading adults' expressions. She knew who to offend and who to absolutely not mess with. She dared to offend her grandparents and father, since they doted on her and weren't the kind of people who believed in the saying "spare the rod and spoil the child." She didn't dare to mess with her mother and older sister. Her mother wouldn't hit her, but when her mother frowned and stared at her without saying a word, the little one would get scared. As for her older sister, she was really daring. She would catch someone and beat them to death. After all, her older sister was also young, so how could she know if she would hurt her? Therefore, the person the little one dared not mess with the most was actually her older sister.
She's mischievous at home, and then she hits her classmates at kindergarten. On her first day, she told her classmates that her mother didn't want her anymore, causing dozens of little ones to wail. The kindergarten teachers were miserable, but the little one just watched and giggled. The teachers were at their wits' end, unable to afford to offend her, since her grandfather was the top official in the city. They'd never heard of her abusing her power, but it was best not to offend her if possible. For some reason, even though Xia Liang felt her health had declined since giving birth, the little one had always been very healthy, much better than her older sister. Gu Yunxi had also had fevers during teething, just like any other child, and had been hospitalized a few times. But the second child, Gu Yuanzhi, had never had such problems. She had strong immunity and excellent physical condition. Gu Yanxiao even said she was a good candidate for the army, but Xia Liang said it had to be based on the second child's own wishes, and the parents couldn't interfere. Gu Yanxiao didn't say anything more.
The little girl loved watching action movies from a young age and liked to imitate what she saw on TV. Gu Weiguo taught her Tai Chi, which she loved. At kindergarten, anyone who dared to mess with her would get a beating, and she never lost. Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao could only follow her around apologizing. Since they were just children, no one would say anything serious like a broken bone. Most parents were quite lenient, saying that children playing around is normal and wouldn't cause serious injury. But some parents were very protective. After their child was beaten by Gu Yuanzhi, they went home and complained, and the next day, Gu Yuanzhi waited at the kindergarten gate, demanding an explanation from the Gu family. That day, Xia Liang and Gu Yanxiao were taking their second child to school. Seeing the woman blocking their way, their faces darkened, and they said in a harsh tone, "So you're Gu Yuanzhi's parents? How do you raise your child? Don't you have any manners? So young and already hitting people, you'll be stuck in jail when you grow up!" Xia Liang wasn't angry at first, but the last sentence made her furious. She didn't know why her child hit the other child, but she did know that her daughter never hit anyone without reason; it was always someone who provoked her. Xia Liang grabbed the woman's collar, her voice icy, "What are you barking about? Who is your child? Let him stand up and tell me why my daughter hit him. Besides, why did my daughter hit him instead of others? Does he deserve it? I think he'll grow up to be a sitting duck." Xia Liang adopted the imposing manner of a powerful, domineering parent from a later era, giving the woman a taste of her own medicine. The woman's face turned red as she was being grabbed by the collar. Her husband wanted to help, but Gu Yanxiao stopped him, his face also grim: "Control your wife. If she keeps talking like that, she'll get beaten up a lot more often." Seeing Gu Yanxiao's tall and burly figure, the man knew he couldn't beat him and didn't dare say anything. Xia Liang released the woman and shoved her, saying, "Call your son out right now. We need to get this straight today." Originally, Xia Liang was in the wrong for hitting someone, but this woman's words were too offensive, and she had to teach her a lesson.
The woman's son had just been taken inside. The couple had been waiting at the door for Xia Liang and her family, but Xia Liang had scared them, so they reluctantly went in to call their son out. The little guy was about the same height as Gu Yuanzhi, but chubby with a round face and eyes that were almost squashed shut. As soon as the little boy came out, he pointed at Gu Yuanzhi and said, "You good-for-nothing! Mom, beat her to death! She's the one who hit me!" Hearing the words "good-for-nothing," Gu Yanxiao's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He grabbed the boy's father and punched him. He couldn't hit the brat, but he couldn't hit his dad? The man was knocked down by Gu Yanxiao's punch. His wife screamed in fright and rushed forward to help her husband up, saying, "You've gone too far! Your daughter hit my son, and you hit my husband!" Xia Liang sneered, "It's the father's fault for not raising his son properly. You can't teach your son well, so we'll teach you how to be a decent human being. You keep calling him a 'money-losing brat,' what? How much money did your mother and grandmother pay?" The little boy, seeing his father knocked down, also started crying in fear. It was school time, and many parents were dropping off their children at kindergarten. They were all pointing and whispering. Some who didn't recognize the children said, "What's wrong with these people? How can they hit someone?" Those who had arrived earlier and witnessed the whole thing said, "Who told them to be so foul-mouthed? The little one bullied someone and called them a 'money-losing brat,' so they got hit. They really have foul mouths! What does that have to do with the girl? Why did they have to say such nasty things?" The people around them gave an understanding "Oh," and then pointed at the couple opposite them.
Xia Liang, not wanting to be made a fool of, spoke first, "Sweetie, tell me why you hit him." Xiao Yuanzhi immediately replied, "Today in class, he saw me eating the White Rabbit candy my sister gave me. He asked for some, but I only had one left, so I didn't give it to him. He then called me a good-for-nothing, saying I didn't deserve such good food. But it's my own candy, why can't I eat it? When he saw I wouldn't give it to him, he tried to snatch it from me, so I hit him." The little boy's mother initially wanted to argue, "Why does a good-for-nothing like you need to eat so much?" But remembering how her husband had been punched after her son's cursing, she didn't dare speak. Xia Liang continued, "If you can't afford to raise a child, if you don't know how to raise them, then don't have them. They'll only be spoiled brats, harming themselves and others." The woman couldn't win the argument or the fight, and with people pointing and whispering about the family, she didn't dare utter a sound. She grabbed her son and ran away. Xia Liang watched the family of three flee, but didn't say anything more. She just told her daughter, "Sweetie, remember, you can't bully others or cause trouble. But if someone bullies you, you can't be afraid. You have to fight back. If you feel you can't beat them, go home and find your grandparents and parents, okay?" The little girl nodded obediently. And just like that, she became famous overnight. In kindergarten and even elementary school, no one dared to mess with Xiao Yuanzhi. But that's another story.
