Before the onlookers could say anything, they heard Zhou Zhili gloating about the misfortune.
"At such a young age, only five years old, he has learned to lie and shirk responsibility. My grandpa's family is so big, who can bump into a five-year-old child like you?"
Liang Zhichao looked around at everyone in confusion, twisting the corners of his clothes with his little hands, tears in his eyes, but stubbornly refused to fall.
Su Shu squeezed past the person in front of her, called Liang Zhichao, and waved to him.
"Zhichao, come to mom."
The appearance of Su Shu gave Liang Zhichao a backbone.
He ran towards Su Shu, hugged Su Shu's waist, buried his face in Su Shu's clothes, and only at this moment did his tears fall.
He cried and said, "Mom, I didn't mean it. I didn't lie. I really felt like someone pushed me."
"There are so many people here, who has seen it?" Zhou Zhili asked the people around him.
But there was no one around to speak.
"It's normal for children to be afraid of being blamed and lying." Zhou Zhili sneered, "But you got into big trouble today. Do you know who made this vase? This was made by my grandma and grandpa when she was still alive.
Yes, my grandpa liked it very much, so he put it here where he can see it every day."
After saying that, Zhou Zhili called out to Li Mingshu loudly, "Mom, come and see, there is a lying child here who broke the vase made by grandma."
Li Mingshu almost ran all the way over after hearing this.
When she looked at the fragments on the ground, her body swayed.
"Who hit me?" Li Mingshu asked angrily through gritted teeth.
Zhou Zhili pointed at Liang Zhichao.
Li Mingshu raised her hand and was about to hit Liang Zhichao on the head, as if she was crazy.
"How can there be such a mean child like you in this world? This is one of the few relics my mother left in the world. When I miss her, I will look at this vase. My father must wipe it with his own hands every day.
Cleaning vases is also how my dad misses my mom."
Su Shu protected the child, and the back of her hand was scratched by Li Mingshu's nails.
Liang Zhichao was so scared that he couldn't even cry.
Su Shu angrily yelled at Li Mingshu, "How dare you try to hit my child?"
Su Shu pushed Li Mingshu away with one hand, picked up Liang Zhichao and left in a hurry.
There was no way to discuss this matter with Li Mingshu, a lunatic who knew how to beat children, so she had no choice but to take the child to Mr. Li.
Fortunately, Mr. Li and Liang Zhenguo were not far away. Su Shu found it before Li Mingshu caught up and ran over with the child in her arms.
"What's wrong?" Liang Zhenguo was startled by Su Shu's anxious look.
Before Su Shu could speak, Liang Zhichao cried and said, "Dad, I've gotten into big trouble."
Su Shu hurriedly said to Mr. Li, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry. The child just came back from going to the toilet. He couldn't stand still and accidentally knocked over the vase that you and your lover made together. I'm deeply sorry for this. It's also my fault.
I am responsible for not taking good care of your child, and I will definitely try my best to compensate for the losses caused to you."
Seeing that Li Mingshu had already chased her, Su Shu quickly added, "Your daughter is so angry that she wants to beat my child, so I haven't been able to apologize to her yet. I'm sorry."
After saying that, Su Shu put down the child in her arms and said softly, "Zhichao, if we do something wrong, we must sincerely apologize to the victim. Come and say sorry to Grandpa Li."
Liang Zhichao nodded with tears falling and got off the ground. He took two steps towards Mr. Li and learned to bow by himself. His voice was trembling, "Grandpa Li, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I pushed the vase because I didn't stand firm."
Yes, I'm sorry, Grandpa Li, please hit me. If I don't run away, hit me to vent my anger."
"You, mother and son, have put on quite a show. You just want to say sorry and compensate. Can you restore the vase made by my mother to its original state if you're sorry? Can you compensate me with an identical vase?"
Li Mingshu sneered, "My dad shouldn't have invited you to my house. People like you are the most rude and uneducated! You've done something wrong, but you still have the nerve to fight with the host!"
"Yes, I'm sorry that I can't return the same vase to Mr. Li, and I can't compensate him for the same vase, because this vase means a lot to Mr. Li, but at least this is the attitude of me and my children to take responsibility and admit our mistakes, but, you
If you want to beat my child, I will never agree!" Su Shu responded loudly.
Mr. Li understood and immediately looked at his daughter with a frown.
"The child also said he didn't mean it. It was an accident. It's my fault. There were so many people coming and going today, but he didn't know to put away the vase first." Mr. Li bent down and touched the child's head, comforting him gently, "It's okay.
My child, Grandpa Li is not angry, you didn’t mean it, Grandpa Li doesn’t blame you, be good and stop crying.”
Mr. Li wiped the child's tears and turned to look at his daughter.
"I don't think your mother or I have ever taught you to do anything to a child. You look like you're scaring the child."
Mr. Li said, "The things have been broken. The child didn't mean it. Look at the child himself. He was very frightened. As an elder, you don't know how to appease the child. As a host, you don't know how to appease the guests. Your etiquette education
Nothing is left of you."
"Grandpa, this kid knows how to lie. He just said that someone pushed him and he couldn't stand still. Maybe he did it on purpose." Zhou Zhili stood in the crowd and said.
"When a child is young and panics when something happens, he may feel wrong. This is normal. It is not that the child deliberately lies. I have met the Liang family's children twice. The Liang family's children are not the bad kids you say." Mr. Li believed Su.
The children Shu teaches will definitely not be what Zhou Zhili said.
Liang Zhenguo stepped forward and picked up the crying child, "Mr. Li, thank you for your tolerance of the child. To be honest, my child is indeed a little irritable, but I also thank you for your trust in the child. You see, otherwise I will be broken into pieces."
Take it away first, and I’ll ask a restoration expert to help repair it and then send it back to you, okay?”
Liang Zhenguo promised, "I will definitely let people try to restore it as much as possible."
"No need." Mr. Li smiled and shook his head, "Don't take this little accident to your heart."
Mr. Li's tolerance made Su Shu feel more and more guilty, thinking that she must find a way to compensate Mr. Li for his losses.
Because Liang Zhichao was frightened, Su Shu and Liang Zhenguo said goodbye to Mr. Li first for the sake of their children's emotions. Mr. Li looked lovingly at the child in Liang Zhenguo's arms, nodded, and arranged for a driver to take the family of five back.
The two took Liang Zhichao to the yard, found the two children who were still playing with the dog, and got in the car. After the car had driven for a while, Liang Zhichao was coaxed by Su Shu and stopped crying.
He snuggled into Su Shu's arms and hiccupped, "Mom~Mom~I'm sorry, I got into trouble tonight, but someone really pushed me, but no one saw it, and they didn't believe me."
"Mom, I believe you." Su Shu kissed the child's forehead, "Don't worry, mom and dad will take care of this matter."
Liang Zhenguo nodded and said, "Yes, don't be afraid, dad is here."
After speaking, he noticed a scar on the back of Su Shu's hand that touched the child's forehead.
He hurriedly grabbed Su Shu's hand and asked, "Where did you get it? It was fine when you got it, but it looks like it was scratched by nails?"
"Li Mingshu wanted to hit Zhichao, so I stretched out my hand to protect him in a hurry. It was better to scratch the back of my hand than to scratch the child's head." Su Shu didn't care about the minor injury.
I’m going to add another chapter today~ I have acute gastroenteritis, and I was in so much pain last night that I wanted to call an ambulance to drag me away (￣▽￣). Seeing how miserable I am, you’re adding an extra chapter, please give it to me quickly.
