Chapter 935: Twin Brothers, What a Huge Difference

~8 min read 1,525 words

The teacher said: "Everyone was playing on the Playground, and Liu Mingruan was playing perfectly fine with the other children when your Zihan suddenly rushed over and hit him. The child's eye socket is bruised, but Sheng Zihan is fine."

Shi Youxuan:...

She felt it was impossible.

Zihan is naughty, but he wouldn't hit someone for no reason.

But she couldn't directly refute it without seeing the child first.

The teacher saw she didn't believe it and led Shi Youxuan directly to the Monitoring Room to check the footage. After watching, she believed it; the facts were exactly as the teacher had said!

The other child hadn't done anything, yet Sheng Zihan had rushed over and hit him without any warning at all.

Liu Mingruan is a head taller than Sheng Zihan; he couldn't reach him, so he even jumped up to hit him!

The responsibility lay entirely on her side, without a shadow of a doubt. Shi Youxuan prepared to take Liu Mingruan to the hospital for a check-up, but she had to wait for the other parent to arrive.

Liu Mingruan's parent arrived quickly—it was actually an acquaintance!

"You are... the Second Young Lady of the Shi Family?" Liu Jun was stunned.

Shi Youxuan also recognized him: "Yes, I am Shi Youxuan. What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Liu Jun was a steadfast suitor of Yuke back in the day. If it weren't for Yuke being overly ambitious and only wanting to climb the social ladder, Liu Jun could have been Shi Youxuan's brother-in-law by now.

He looked much more mature than before, and the hostility on him wasn't as heavy either.

Especially after seeing that the child who did the hitting was a head shorter than his own child, his initial anger dissipated quite a bit.

But a check-up still had to be done, so the parents from both sides took the children to the hospital.

After a detailed examination.

The doctor said there was nothing serious; children have delicate skin and bruise easily when bumped. He prescribed some medicine, and hospitalization was not needed.

After getting the medicine, Shi Youxuan apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, this whole thing is my Zihan's fault. I will definitely criticize him severely when I get back."

Liu Jun said: "It's fine. Children have conflicts, and fighting is a very normal thing. You don't need to take it to heart, but talking to him is still necessary."

He seemed to have something to say, but was a bit embarrassed.

Walking out of the hospital, he finally asked the question he wanted to ask: "Your sister... is she doing well?"

Shi Youxuan: "She is doing very well. My brother-in-law treats her quite well, and the two of them have a cute daughter."

"Oh, as long as she's doing well... is it convenient for me to have her WeChat?"

After saying this, Liu Jun immediately explained: "I don't mean anything else by it, I just want to see if an old friend is doing okay."

Shi Youxuan: "There's no need for that. My sister never uses WeChat. She did many foolish things in the past and regrets them terribly now. She has already made a clean break with her past life, so let's not be in contact anymore."

"Life should always look forward, shouldn't it?"

Liu Jun didn't insist either; he smiled and agreed: "You're right, life should look forward."

When they were about to part ways, she took out a stack of money as an apology and compensation.

Liu Jun refused the compensation no matter what. He joked that if he wanted an apology, he had specifically picked on Shi Youxuan in the past, and that apology was never given, so this time could be considered even.

The other parent wasn't pursuing the matter, but she couldn't ignore her own child.

After school.

Shi Youxuan called the twins in front of her and asked the older one first: "Why did your younger brother go and hit another child?"

Sheng Zirui shook his head: "I don't know."

"Hold out your hand."

Sheng Zirui held out his hand, and Shi Youxuan took out a wooden ruler forty centimeters long and three centimeters wide, ready to strike!

"No, you can't hit the second brother."

The troublemaker Sheng Zihan blocked his second brother, glaring with wide eyes to stand up for him: "I'm the one who hit him. If you want to punish someone, punish me alone. Why punish my brother? This isn't fair!"

Shi Youxuan pushed him aside: "You hit someone and you think you're in the right? What are you shouting about? You won't escape; we'll talk about your matter in a moment."

"Zirui, do you know why Mom is hitting you?"

Sheng Zirui: "I know, because I am the older brother, but I didn't keep an eye on my younger brother, so I am being punished."

That is the logic, but for a child not yet three years old, it was already quite remarkable that he could understand her meaning.

What was even more remarkable was that he accepted the punishment without feeling the slightest bit aggrieved or that it was unfair!

Shi Youxuan raised the ruler high, but when it landed, she controlled the force, so it didn't hurt very much.

But Sheng Zihan didn't know that. He only knew his second brother was being hit because of him, and he felt so guilty that he burst into tears with a "waa."

"Mom is bad, Mom is unreasonable, why hit the second brother? If you're capable, come at me."

He was quite loyal.

It was just used in the wrong place.

The older children all knew their mother's educational method: siblings are one entity. If one does something wrong, everyone is punished, so that they wouldn't develop a mindset of "it's none of my business."

If one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, all suffer.

Therefore, the older children of the Sheng Family were very united.

As for the younger ones who had just grown up, it was normal for them to feel aggrieved when first receiving such an education.

"Alright, now it's your turn."

Shi Youxuan pulled her younger son in front of her, and he obediently held out his hand, ready to be hit.

"Wait a moment, there's no rush to be hit. Tell me first, why did you hit someone?"

The little guy shook his head: "If you want to hit me, just hit me, don't ask."

Shi Youxuan:...

Don't ask?

Can she not ask?

Not only must she ask, she would get to the bottom of it.

But "forcing an answer" was useless.

She had experience dealing with Sheng Litian and knew how to handle a child who was so loyal.

Shi Youxuan ignored him and said to Sheng Zirui, "Since your brother won't talk, I can only hit you; hold out your hand."

"No."

Sheng Zihan immediately blocked his Sange: "You are being too unreasonable; if you want to hit someone, hit me, you are not allowed to hit him."

"Move aside."

Shi Youxuan ignored him completely and stopped asking, pretending she was going to hit Sheng Zirui.

He had no other choice and shouted, "I'll talk, I'll tell you, is that not enough?"

"Speak then." Putting down the ruler, Shi Youxuan prepared to listen to her youngest son's explanation.

"He doesn't look good, I don't like the look of him, so I wanted to hit him."

Shi Youxuan:...

She was truly angry now.

Shi Youxuan narrowed her eyes and said sternly, "Is this your true thought?"

Sheng Zihan answered very firmly, "Yes."

"Hold out your hand!" Shi Youxuan said sharply.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

She used force, and with every strike, Sheng Zihan's little hand would flinch back in pain.

But he gritted his teeth and endured it, not making a sound.

Wang Yinghao couldn't watch anymore; the child's little hands were beaten red and swollen, how could one hit a child like this?

None of the older ones were easy to manage when they were small, but none had ever been hit like this.

"Xuanxuan, are you thirsty? Drink some water."

Her mother-in-law handed over a cup of tea.

Asking her to drink tea was a pretense; using the excuse of drinking tea to let her cool off, hit him lighter, or stop hitting him altogether was the mother-in-law's true purpose.

"I'm not thirsty."

She asked Sheng Zihan, "You want to hit people just because you don't like how they look? If someone else doesn't like how you look next time and hits you for no reason, what will you do?"

"They dare? I'll hit them back immediately." The little guy was very indignant.

Shi Youxuan took the opportunity to educate him: "Hitting people for no reason is wrong. You weren't happy when I hit your Sange just now and felt he was wronged, so is it right for you to hit someone just because you don't like them?"

"No." He lowered his head.

"What will you do when you go to kindergarten tomorrow?"

"I will go and apologize to Liu Mingruan, I was wrong."
