Chapter 507: Children's Privileges
Although Zhang Bo and his companions restrained their desire to take action, the expressions on their faces were almost as if they wanted to eat someone.
……
Xiao Xiao glanced at the woman who was cowering behind Uncle Man.
Her drooping eyebrows and long hair slid down, covering her face, making it impossible to see her expression at the moment.
Her pitiful figure could no longer arouse sympathy from the people present.
Xiao Xiao retracted his gaze. Was she asking for trouble? Or was she shooting herself in the foot? Or was it that good deeds are rewarded with good, evil deeds are punished with evil, or was it that there was no retribution, but the time had not come yet?
And now, apparently, the time has come.
……
"Does your mother often do this to you?"
The master was not affected by any external atmosphere, but continued to ask questions at his own pace.
"Always making you eat things you don't like."
……
Little Starry Sky shook her head hesitantly, "Mom is not at home very often."
"When Daddy was around, Mommy was fine."
……
Uncle Man has always been good-tempered, and he hasn't been so angry in a long time.
For his own reasons, in order to avoid hurting the children, he subconsciously always avoided the children, and when facing the children, he didn't know how to get along with them.
So he, who always appears gentle to others, is always cold in front of his own children.
……
On the one hand, I married Aunt Tang out of a sense of responsibility, and on the other hand, I also wanted my child to have a mother to take care of him.
The child is still young and he is in such a situation. Grandpa Man and Grandma Luo are also old, and he doesn't want to always trouble them.
Moreover, Aunt Tang's initial impression on him was that of a good wife and mother.
He still remembered the other person's gentle smile, which made him determined to start a new family with her and work hard to start a new life.
But now the child's childish words were like a slap in the face.
It hurts.
Not on the face, but in the heart.
……
"So did your mother ever make you do anything you didn't like?"
The master did not stop asking questions.
When people get older, they like to play with their grandchildren. When he sees the little baby's breath that is almost the same age as his grandson, he also feels pity for her.
After realizing that the child might have been abused, he did not hide it or be ambiguous. He could see that the child's grandparents truly loved them, so he laid the matter out in front of everyone.
……
Little Starry Sky nodded, then shook her head, with a somewhat conflicted expression on her little face.
"Baby Gypsophila doesn't like to do those things."
"But, Baby's breath is a good kid."
"Baby Gypsophila will do those things."
The little baby's breath opened its eyes wide, appearing particularly well-behaved and sensible.
"Mom said Dad likes good kids."
"Dad will praise Baby's breath."
"But-"
The child lowered his voice, looking frustrated and sad, "Dad never praised Baby's Breath."
"Dad doesn't like baby's breath."
"But little Starry Sky is very well behaved."
……
"Grandpa, grandma, and mom all say that Baby's breath is well behaved, so dad will like Baby's breath."
“They’re lying.”
The child's tender voice was choked with sobs, full of grievance and confusion.
She doesn't understand what she hasn't done well enough?
"The teacher said that mom and dad are the best people for us."
“He’s the one who likes us the most.”
"But the teacher lied."
"Mom doesn't like me." "Dad doesn't like me either."
The child stood there disappointedly, "Why? Isn't little Starry Sky a good boy?"
"Mingming, the teacher said that Xiao Mantianxing is the best behaved child in the class."
……
The child's tender and weak voice echoed in the room where it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone's heart couldn't help but tighten.
The one who suffered the most was Xiao Mantianxing’s father, Uncle Man.
He never thought that the choice to stay away from the child in order to avoid causing harm to him actually caused greater harm to the child.
He was too cowardly.
It all comes down to his self-righteousness. He was so absorbed in his own emotions that he was too alienated from his children.
Uncle Man regretted and blamed himself for a moment.
……
"Little Starry Sky is a good child."
The master praised earnestly, but did not forget his original question.
He wanted to let the child's family see how the child was treated because of their negligence.
"So, what did Baby's Breath help Mommy do?"
……
"Little Starry Sky can do a lot of things."
The child's eyes sparkled with a hint of pride.
"Little Gypsophila can take care of herself and her younger brother. She can change his diaper, make him laugh, and feed him."
"Little baby's breath can also clean the house."
Little Starry Sky said while counting on her fingers: "Sweep the floor, mop the floor, wash clothes, hang clothes, wash dishes, wash vegetables..."
"Baby's breath can also cut tomatoes."
"But the first time I cut it, I cut my finger. It bled a lot and it hurt so much."
Gypsophila grasped her fingers, and her thin eyebrows wrinkled together. "Gypsophila was so scared at that time, and thought her fingers were going to break."
"Let me see."
The master took the child's finger and looked at it carefully, and found a thin white mark on it and a slight bulge between the eyebrows.
"Did you go to the doctor then?"
The child shook his head and said, "My mother said I was so stupid and useless."
At this point, the child felt a little aggrieved, "The tomato is stained with blood."
"I did not do it on purpose."
"How did you treat the wound on your finger?"
The master stroked the child's injured wound. The slight bump had a rough, frosted feel.
"it does not matter."
"This kind of wound can be healed by washing it with water."
"Look, the wound is almost gone."
The child shook his finger and pursed his lips slightly.
"Little Starry Sky is such a good kid."
The master couldn't help but sigh.
Which child nowadays is not spoiled? Even a slight fall can make parents anxious.
It's rare to find a child as strong and sensible as Xiao Mantianxing.
However, the master glanced at Grandpa Man and Grandma Luo opposite him. They probably didn't want their child to be so strong and sensible, right?
……
No child is born so strong and sensible.
Isn't it the most natural human reaction to cry when you feel pain?
Adults have learned to restrain themselves as they grow up, but children are still young and ignorant at this age. They should not understand what forbearance and restraint are. They should cry when they want to cry, laugh when they want to laugh, and act like a spoiled child or a spoiled brat when they want to act like a spoiled child or a spoiled brat.
That's a child's privilege, isn't it?
This child lost this privilege too early.
She was forced to grow up.
She didn't even know she was supposed to have that privilege.
