Chapter 729: The Way of Getting Along Between Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law 2

She dotes on the child, but she is not opposed to her son educating his grandson.

Besides, the time limit set by the daughter-in-law is within her range of acceptance.

The kindergarten is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, which is separated from the usual schedule; it is arranged very scientifically and reasonably, so this is acceptable!

"Fine, I have no objections."

"Fine, I have no objections either!"

A consensus was reached, and everyone was happy.

Wang Yinghao naturally stopped mentioning moving house; she went out to announce the good news to her husband and the in-laws.

"Mother, go back, drink a cup of hot milk, get a good night's sleep, and don't be angry."

"To have such a thoughtful daughter-in-law, I have truly been blessed; I won't be angry, I won't be angry, you two should rest early as well." The mother-in-law was still wiping away tears as she left, moved by her daughter-in-law.

Closing the door.

Shi Youxuan leaned against the door and let out a long breath.

"Phew, that was close!"

If this matter had happened in the past, it wouldn't have been resolved in ten days or half a month.

And it wouldn't even be certain whose side would be taken in the end.

Now, just because she stood on the mother-in-law's side, she achieved such an effect; it really is too perfect.

Her husband leaned over, wrapped his arms around her neck, and pecked her lips: "You little rascal, you're the one with the most tricks."

Shi Youxuan hugged her husband back and kissed him hard.

She said smugly: "Of course."

"From now on, let's do it this way: you play the bad cop, I play the good cop; not only can we achieve the effect we want, but we can also coax Mom and Dad very well."

That's right, this is something the two of them had discussed long ago.

Sheng Zichen would definitely resist when entering the Study, and as long as he resisted, the mother-in-law would come out to stand up for him.

Both of them had calculated it; the direction of events was bound to be like this. Three generations living under one roof has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that grandparents looking after the child is definitely more reassuring than nannies or servants, but the disadvantage is that unprincipled doting is simply unavoidable.

Even without this incident.

The mother-in-law's anger would definitely have been vented eventually; Sheng Zichen would have caused some other trouble. How could she not understand what her own son is like?

The couple had thought of all the situations they might encounter; it's better to be prepared.

Hey, it was put to use today, and the effect was quite good!

The role of the bad cop is only suitable for Sheng Hanyu to play.

After all, the son is born of his mother; no matter how angry she is at her son, she won't hold a grudge.

But a daughter-in-law is different.

It took Shi Youxuan a long time to understand this principle and accept it!

She was smug and couldn't help but praise herself: "Oh my, I am really too smart; how am I so amazing..."

A few praises would have been enough.

But because she was too smug, she kept praising herself endlessly.

Sheng Hanyu grew impatient waiting and scooped his wife up horizontally: "You talk too much, time to sleep."

"Snap!"

The light was turned off.

……

Study.

Sheng Zichen sat steadily on the sofa reading a dictionary.

He had been reading a thick ancient Chinese dictionary for three days, and he was even reading it with great interest!

Even Sheng Hanyu found such a dictionary difficult to read.

The annotations were obscure and difficult to understand, and the language was convoluted and thorny.

Except for old pedants, there shouldn't be many people who could keep reading it.

Sheng Zichen usually wouldn't look at a pictorial for more than ten minutes, yet these past few days in the Study he had been reading this dictionary, not changing books and even wearing a smile.

It looked normal on the surface, but it still felt strange.

Sheng Hanyu put down the documents in his hand and asked his son: "Zichen, can you understand it? If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Dad."

After a pause of a few seconds, the son replied: "You busy yourself with your work; I can understand it, I don't need you to worry."

Fine, if he can understand it, then let him read it.

But what was going on with his hands?

Every so often he would touch the dictionary and then quickly put his hand into his mouth.

Chewing on words?

The meaning is right, but the action is wrong.

"Sheng Zichen, what are you doing?" He put down the documents in his hand once again.

"Huh? I'm not doing anything!"

Being asked twice in a row, the little guy was a bit nervous.

As soon as the words fell—"clatter, clatter," a few snacks rolled out from inside the dictionary and fell to the floor.

"Oh no."

Sheng Zichen put down the dictionary and went to pick up the food.

It was subconscious; his instinct was just like that.

However, it exposed the dictionary's secret—the middle of the dictionary had been hollowed out, and it was filled with snacks.

No wonder he was "reading" with such relish!

So it turned out there were tasty treats inside the dictionary.

Once the secret was discovered, Sheng Zichen reacted quickly.

He slid off the sofa and ran toward the door: "Grandpa, save me!"

There hadn't originally been a small stool by the door, but it had been placed there at some point.

The little guy took out the stool with practiced ease, stepped on it to open the door, and in a flash, he had vanished.

"Grandpa, save me!"

A cry for help came from outside.

"Baobao, you were discovered, weren't you? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Grandpa is here..."

There was no need to ask; the hole in the dictionary had been gouged out with Grandpa's help.

He even provided cover.

This matter could not just be left at that; Sheng Hanyu chased him to the living room, only to see the grandfather and grandson looking at him with great vigilance.

Sheng Jiang spread his arms, ready at any moment to block his son from coming over to snatch his grandson.

"Dad, move aside."

This matter had to be resolved one by one, starting with the little one.

Sheng Jiang did not move aside; instead, he became even more vigilant, saying to his son: "The idea was mine, I hollowed out the dictionary, and I put the snacks in." He wore an expression of "do whatever you want."

Although he didn't say it out loud, his face clearly read—this was all done by me, don't bully your son; if you have the ability, come at me.

Sheng Jiang was going all out.

He didn't even move from his spot, turning back to comfort his grandson: "Baobao, don't worry, with Grandpa here, you are safe."

The little guy hid behind his grandfather and said sweetly: "Okay, Grandpa is the best, I love Grandpa the most!"

With Grandpa there, he felt emboldened.

Sheng Hanyu:...

"Are you going to move aside or not?" He darkened his face.

Sheng Zichen was only three years old, yet he was blatantly challenging his authority; this precedent could not be set.

Today, he had to discipline the child face-to-face so he would know that in this home, rules were paramount, and there weren't protective umbrellas everywhere.

The reason he dared to do this so openly at home was because his mother wasn't home!

The women of the house had gone out shopping, and only the men were home!

"Zichen is still young, Hanyu, don't be too harsh on him..." Sheng Jiang was very reluctant, but he still moved aside.

There was no help for it; the foundation laid from childhood wasn't good, and he had always felt a sense of awe toward his son.

Sheng Zichen panicked: "Grandpa, you said you would protect me!"

Sheng Jiang felt a pang of heartache and stroked his grandson's head: "Be good! Daddy isn't a bad person."

If it were an outsider bullying his grandson, even if it cost him his old life, he would protect his grandson.

But for a son to discipline his own son was only natural and right; it was better for him not to interfere too much.

Sheng Jiang found a reasonable explanation for himself and walked away with a clear conscience, while Sheng Zichen wailed: "Bad Grandpa, bad Grandpa!"

This could also be considered a life lesson Grandpa was teaching him—in this world, you can only rely on yourself; others are likely unreliable.

The little guy was hauled back to the Study by the collar by Sheng Hanyu.

"Bang!"

The moment the Study door closed, the little guy immediately stopped crying and making a scene: "Daddy, I was wrong."

"It's all Baobao's fault; the first thing Baobao did wrong was using the dictionary to hide things to eat."

"The second thing Baobao did wrong was that after being discovered, I should have admitted my mistake immediately instead of running."

His attitude toward apologizing was decent, and his reasoning was quite logical, but Sheng Hanyu was not satisfied: "Anything else?"

He thought for a moment, then affirmed: "Nothing else."
