Chapter 1098: The Making of a Mama's Boy 5

Actually, this problem has appeared in all of the older children when they were young.

It is inevitable for children to have a competitive mentality; this is normal, but once a problem is discovered, it must be corrected immediately so the child knows what is right and what is wrong.

Shi Youxuan said to Sheng Zihan: "Our family is wealthy, but it has nothing to do with you. The money in our family is all earned through the hard work of your father and mother, so anything you want to buy for enjoyment belongs to us, not you."

"It is enough that you are fed and clothed now; don't think about other things. Of course, if you really, really like something, just write it down and buy it yourself when you grow up..."

Jian Yixin laughed: "Xuanxuan, you are so interesting. Can a child this small understand you when you say these things? Adults earn money just to spend it on their children; otherwise, why earn money?"

Sheng Zihan was listening without saying anything at first; although he didn't quite understand, he felt it made sense.

Now that his aunt said this, he immediately felt that his aunt was right.

"Exactly, adults earn money just to spend it on their children. If you don't spend money on me, it means you don't love me."

Sheng Zihan ran to the side in annoyance and sulked.

He felt very wronged, thinking that his mother didn't seem to love her child as much as other people's mothers did.

Shi Youxuan:...

Fortunately, Zihan has many siblings; everyone said a word or two, and soon his thinking was turned around, and he came over to apologize to his mother.

Regardless, this could be considered an unsuccessful start.

No, the children must be separated from the adults.

Having Jian Yixin and her son as such poor examples has too great an influence on the children.

After arranging the accommodations.

Shi Youxuan called Zichen and Litian over and quietly gave them a few instructions.

The two children nodded, indicating they would definitely complete the task.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Jian Yixin's room was knocked on a few times, and Sheng Zichen and Litian went in to invite Moli to go out and play.

"Let's go to the beach to pick up seashells; the seashells there are very delicious—no, very good-looking," Zichen said.

Litian: "Last time, my brother and I picked up a few seashells at the beach to make whistles, but we couldn't blow any particularly nice tunes. Let's go together this time, and you can pick some you like."

The mother and son were both very happy and agreed: "Okay, Mom, hurry up."

"Alright, you three wait for me a little while, I'll come after I change my clothes."

The two children were a bit dumbfounded: "Aunt, are you coming with us to pick up seashells too?"

"You don't need to be with us, we can do it ourselves."

Jian Yixin refused: "No, the beach is so dangerous. I can't rest easy if our Moli goes over alone; I have to go together."

Moli: "Mm."

In the past, he would have refused, feeling that it was annoying for his mother to follow him everywhere.

But not anymore; without his mother by his side, he has no sense of security!

Fine, since she wants to follow, then let's go together.

Thus, a somewhat comical scene appeared on the beach.

Three boys were picking up seashells on the beach, while a mother guarded her son left and right like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

In the leisure area not far away.

The adults were lying on lounge chairs, pleasantly drinking freshly squeezed fruit juice and sunbathing.

"Oh my, why does Yixin bother? This stretch of sea is very safe, and besides, there are safety officers, and everyone is watching under the adults' noses; there won't be any problems." Ma Ling'er sat up straight, looking as if she were seeing something novel.

Because her own work is very busy, Ma Ling'er is absent from many gatherings among friends.

She has missed quite a few things over these past few years, and she doesn't know when Jian Yixin became like this.

But everyone else was used to it; they had seen this kind of thing often, and there were things even more excessive than this, let alone this small matter.

Jian Yining: "My sister, I feel tired just watching her live like this. Brother-in-law, aren't you going to do something about it?"

Sheng Zerong: "If I could do something about it, would I need you to tell me? Let alone doing something, every time I have even a slight objection, your sister goes full-firepower on me; I have absolutely no way to deal with it."

He was telling the truth; Sheng Zerong's status at home was approaching marginalization.

All of Jian Yixin's thoughts were on her son; sometimes he felt that even if he didn't return home for a night, his wife wouldn't notice!

Wan'er nudged her husband, telling him not to go too far; this wasn't the brother-in-law's fault, so why complain about him?

Everyone felt tired watching Jian Yixin, but the woman involved felt nothing at all; on the contrary, she was enjoying it.

Shi Youxuan stood up: "None of you have a way, but I do. Wait, I'll drag her back for you." She walked over and, without a word, took Jian Yixin's arm and walked back.

"Oh my, what are you doing? Don't pull me, can't you see I'm busy?"

"What are you busy with? Let the children play by themselves. You following them around like a mother hen looks comical."

"No, the beach is too dangerous, I'm not at ease."

Shi Youxuan: "I have my two sons acting as bodyguards for your son, where is the danger?"

Ma Ling'er also ran over to help.

The two women, one on the left and one on the right, forcibly dragged Jian Yixin back and pressed her onto a lounge chair, handing her a glass of coconut juice: "It's the same if you watch from here."

"No, I want to go over."

Jian Yixin struggled, but she didn't succeed.

Everyone chimed in.

Sheng Zerong: "Wife, look, aren't the children playing very happily when you aren't by their side?"

Jian Yining: "Sister, you can't control him too tightly. You have to give the child space so he can breathe freely and grow up healthily."

Wan'er: "I think my husband is right."

Those two women didn't persuade her at all; they solved the problem with force directly.

She discovered that the three children were indeed more at ease and happier.

Moli had not left her line of sight, so she could be somewhat at ease.

Lying on the beach sunbathing, leisurely blowing in the sea breeze, how long had it been since she enjoyed such a pleasant time?

Jian Yixin thought and thought; the last time she went on vacation seemed to be when Moli was in kindergarten.

All these years, for the sake of the children, she had neglected herself and also neglected her husband, owing her husband too much.

She personally poured a glass of coconut juice and handed it over: "Husband, drink some coconut juice."

"Thank you, wife." Sheng Zerong was a bit pleasantly surprised.

The adults were enjoying the leisurely sea breeze and sunshine by the beach.

The children were also having a great time playing by the beach, incredibly happy.

"Hahahaha..."

"Giggle, Litian, what is that thing you picked up?"

"This one of mine is a Great Luo Immortal, what is that in your hand?"

"This one of mine is the Jade Emperor."

"Mine is Aoteman..."

The boys fully unleashed their imaginations, gradually shifting from picking up seashells to weaving myths.

They were playing very happily, and the smile on Moli's face never once disappeared!

Seeing her son playing well with his older and younger brothers, Jian Yixin felt at ease and did not go over again.

But her heart still felt sour and unsettled: "This little ungrateful thing, he forgets his mother as soon as he has something to play with."

Today was a rare day with good weather, and the thing the men liked most was going out to sea to fish.
