"That's not right. Why didn't the teacher notify her dad and me about this girl fighting? How come they called the two of you instead?"
She is the girl's guardian, shouldn't they have looked for her instead?
Qin Suxin: "It was nothing, just a mistake by the teacher. Zhaozhao and Yiyi were sitting together, and the child who hit someone mistakenly thought it was Yiyi who did it, so the teacher called us."
"What misunderstanding? It must have been that Zhaozhao causing trouble again, right?"
No one knows a daughter better than her mother.
She knew exactly what kind of trouble her own daughter had been causing since she learned to walk and talk; she had never stopped making Yiyi take the blame for her.
"Yiyi, tell Aunt Ran, did Zhaozhao do it on purpose?" Shu Ran didn't ask the girl but directly asked Sheng Chuyi.
Little friend Sheng Chuyi glanced in the direction of Shen Zhaozhao before looking up at Shu Ran: "Aunt Ran, Zhaozhao didn't do it on purpose. She didn't mean to hit someone and then pretend to be asleep. Aunt Ran, don't scold her. She even apologized to Yiyi!"
With the little cunning her daughter possessed, there was nothing left for Shu Ran to misunderstand.
Upon hearing that the girl not only hit someone but also tried to pin the blame on Sheng Chuyi, she became furious: "Goodness! Not only do you fight in kindergarten, but you also make Yiyi take the fall? Come out here, I need to give you a good lesson today no matter what."
Shu Ran rolled up her sleeves, beginning to look for a handy tool.
"Wah——"
Hiding behind Qin Suxin, Shen Zhaozhao burst into tears directly.
"Don't cry, don't cry, Aunt Suxin is here." While soothing her with sympathy, Qin Suxin tried to calm Shu Ran down, "Look at you, making a big deal out of a small matter. Besides, Zhaozhao didn't do it on purpose. Don't scare the child."
Qin Suxin quietly signaled her son, hoping he would take Zhaozhao to the next room to hide for a bit.
But little Sheng Chuyi acted as if he saw nothing.
Qin Suxin: ...
Qin Suxin, both frustrated and amused, watched her son, realizing she had given birth to a little rascal with a black sesame filling.
The little guy wasn't big, but he was no slouch when it came to being crafty.
"Forget it, if this girl doesn't get taught a lesson now, she might become unmanageable. She dared to fight with other kids on her first day in kindergarten and even dared to make Yiyi take the fall. If we don't deal with this, she might just go too far," Shu Ran was almost out of breath with anger. Other people's daughters were gentle and quiet, but hers was like a muddy monkey, getting into even more trouble than boys.
Suxin held Shen Zhaozhao tightly in her arms: "You are exaggerating. Besides, if you want to punish my daughter-in-law, can I just stand by and do nothing?"
"Fine, you deal with it. I think from now on, it might as well be all up to you. Anyway, it's you who spoiled her, so if there are any complaints later, don't expect me to take any returns," Shu Ran huffed.
"No problem!" Qin Suxin replied with a laugh, "Don't worry, even if I don't want a son, I will definitely keep Zhaozhao as my daughter-in-law."
Under Qin Suxin's protection, Shen Zhaozhao narrowly escaped a beating, but after dinner, she adamantly followed Qin Suxin to the next room.
That clever child was deathly afraid that after Qin Suxin's family left, there would be a reckoning, insisting on not staying at home no matter what.
After taking the two little ones back next door, Qin Suxin called Sheng Chuyi over: "Yiyi, do you not like Zhaozhao?"
The little guy pursed his lips and said nothing.
Qin Suxin feigned a sigh: "Alright, mom understands. Since you don't like Zhaozhao, we won't let you play together anymore. There are so many kids in kindergarten, there will definitely be children who like Zhaozhao. From now on, let other kids play with Zhaozhao."
The little friend Sheng Chuyi's lips immediately pursed even tighter.
