Chapter 837: Unknowingly Living Into the Person I Disliked 2

~8 min read 1,597 words

Moli was unwilling; he liked to assemble this kind of toy by himself, and others would disturb him.

But he did not dare to disobey what the teacher said, so he listlessly put down the puzzle in his hands and went to play with the rolling ball that he did not like at all with the other children.

Her son was not happy at all, and she began to point fingers again.

The teacher was almost annoyed to death, yet she did not dare to offend her.

Next was nap time; Jian Yixin thought it was not okay for the child to be in the middle with children breathing on both sides, so she demanded a bed change!

Moli going to the restroom by himself was not okay; she was afraid the child would fall into the toilet.

Distributing fruit one slice per person was not okay; she ordered a crate of fruit to be sent to the kindergarten and demanded that her son be allowed to eat more.

They finally endured until school was out.

The teacher said to Jian Yixin, who had come to pick up her child: "Mother of Sheng Moli, if you have any complaints about us, please state them all at once now; can you please stop calling endlessly?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I will definitely pay attention in the future. If it is not a very serious matter, I will definitely call."

Jian Yixin promised well, but the next day it remained the same.

The third day was still like this.

The teacher protested to the kindergarten principal, and parents of other children also had complaints; finally, even the principal could not stand it anymore.

The principal gave Jian Yixin an ultimatum: "If you are truly worried, then take the child back."

Moli was expelled from the kindergarten.

Jian Yixin did not feel she was wrong; she said to her child: "Baby, it is the kindergarten's loss to not have us; Mommy will find you a better one."

She sent him to every kindergarten within ten kilometers of their home.

There was not a single one that could last more than a week; she could always find this or that different problem—either the kindergarten could not stand it, or she took the child away on her own initiative.

This morning, when Jian Yixin intended to take her son to report to a new kindergarten again, Moli actually shook off her hand and refused: "I don't want you to take me; I want Daddy to take me."

"From now on, I don't want you to manage me either; I want Daddy to manage me."

Jian Yixin's tears fell instantly.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

She could not believe it; she could not believe that such words actually came out of her son's mouth.

How could this be?

Her son, whom she had treasured like the apple of her eye since he was small, actually did not love her?

Sheng Zerong knew it was bad and hurriedly scolded his son: "Moli, how are you talking to your mother? Apologize, apologize immediately."

The little guy stiffened his neck and refused to apologize: "I won't!"

"I did nothing wrong; there is no need to apologize."

"I don't like Mommy. It is because of her that I can't stay in any kindergarten. When the other children see me, it's like they've seen a ghost; they don't want to play with me, and the teachers don't like me either. All of this is her fault, it's all her fault!"

Sheng Moli yelled at his mother.

After yelling, he ran back to his room and slammed the door shut.

Jian Yixin stood frozen in place, silently shedding tears.

She did not know what she had done wrong.

Could it be that caring is also wrong?

She had put so much painstaking effort into her son; why didn't he understand?

Her husband pulled her into his arms and gently patted her hand to comfort her: "It's okay, Moli is still a child; he will understand you when he grows up."

"Husband, did I do something wrong?"

Sheng Zerong nodded: "Hmm, you have been a bit excessive these past few days, but it is all for the child's good. Don't worry, even if the whole world doesn't understand you, I understand you."

"Where was I excessive?"

Her husband tried to communicate with her, saying in as gentle a tone as possible: "You love the child very much, that is not wrong, but a kindergarten is a collective; there are many children inside, not just our son alone. No matter which kindergarten it is, it is impossible to let you do whatever you want!"

She felt her husband made sense, so she decided—she would just open a kindergarten herself!

It was no big deal; she would do it as soon as she said so.

The kindergarten was ready-made; there was a poorly managed kindergarten near their home that was about to go bankrupt.

All the facilities in the school were still new, and the paperwork was also ready-made; she could take it over and start immediately.

It didn't matter if she couldn't recruit children in a short time; Jian Yixin didn't intend to rely on the kindergarten to make money at all—enrollment was free!

The enrollment advertisement was put out, but there was no bustling scene of registration as imagined; those who came to register were mostly children from poor families.

Those with slightly better conditions all had to think: Why is it free?

It couldn't be a scam, could it?

Jian Yixin explained the reason and told the truth: "To let your children play with my son."

Once this reason was given, even fewer parents registered.

Whose child is not a treasure?

If they only play with your son, what happens if my child gets the short end of the stick?

But in the end, there were still some who registered, and she received over a dozen children.

The state Jian Yixin envisioned was finally achieved; from teachers to children, everyone fawned over Moli, and every day he was surrounded by them like stars holding the moon!

Both mother and son were very happy now, only Sheng Zerong felt uneasy.

He discussed it with his wife: "Yixin, what you are doing now is wrong; you shouldn't let the child feel superior from a young age."

Jian Yixin did not take it to heart: "Why not? Our family has these conditions."

"Having these conditions and not letting the child enjoy them—should we raise him in poverty from a young age? No, raising him in poverty will limit the child's horizons. Moli is already very timid; what we need to do is cultivate the child's self-confidence."

His wife spoke with great conviction, but he just felt it was unreliable.

There are many ways to cultivate a child's self-confidence, but it should not include this one.

Instead, he worried, worried that his wife would become a second version of his mother, raising Moli into someone like Sheng Yukai!

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, so he took it upon himself to decide that the kindergarten teachers and children should treat Moli just like any ordinary child, without any special treatment.

Jian Yixin: "You're deliberately going against me, aren't you? I went to all this trouble to open a kindergarten, yet I can't even let my son get good care; I might as well just close it down."

Sheng Zerong agreed: "Closing it is for the best. If I weren't afraid of making you angry, I would have wanted to close it long ago. No, it shouldn't have been opened in the first place!"

Jian Yixin:...

Of course, she wouldn't actually close it; words spoken in a fit of pique could not be taken as final.

She demanded that her husband not interfere in the affairs of the kindergarten, insisting that she would educate the child herself and would certainly educate him well.

Her husband expressed grave doubts and even used their respective parents as examples.

He said that his wife's current behavior was exactly the same as his mother-in-law's during her menopause—protecting her calf without any principles, thinking everything her own child did was good, while treating other people's children like blades of grass.

Doing this was wrong; in the long run, it would not make Moli "confident" or help him receive more love.

It would only cultivate a selfish and self-interested personality, just like the second brother!

Originally, when he spoke about his mother, she had listened a little.

But as luck would have it, why did he suddenly bring up Sheng Yukai again?

This touched her reverse scale.

Jian Yixin's voice immediately rose by several degrees: "What did you say? Sheng Zerong, you've gone too far! How dare you compare my son to that bastard? Sheng Yukai is not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as my son. Apologize."

Sheng Zerong did not want to indulge his wife any further; he did not wish for the tragedy of his mother and second brother to repeat itself.

His mother was still living in a psychiatric hospital, sometimes better and sometimes worse; when her condition was bad, she didn't recognize anyone at all, and when she was better, she would hold him and cry bitterly, constantly repenting for everything she had done in the past.

He refused to apologize and firmly demanded that his wife stop her nonsense immediately, only to be kicked out of the house by his wife in the end!
