Zhou Yuehan was so enraged that he started a fight with him on the spot. Zhu Youcai didn't expect him to be so bold today and got hit a few times because he was caught off guard. Now, he was glaring at Zhou with a fierce look, his young eyes filled with hatred.
"What? You little brat, you dare to hit my grandson? Do you have a death wish?" Upon hearing this, Grandma Zhu immediately shot Zhou Yuehan a furious glare. Her sharp features and piercing gaze were terrifying. Zhou Yuehan, who had acted on impulse, began to feel scared and his legs went weak under her stare.
However, the next second, a shadow loomed over him. He heard Si Nian's voice ring out, "Get your facts straight. It was your grandson who started it!"
"Bullshit! My grandson is so well-behaved. How could he possibly get into a fight with someone else? Besides, who saw my grandson hit anyone? Who saw it?" Her sharp gaze swept over the surrounding people.
The kids gathered around were all scared into silence by her fierce expression. They were only seven or eight years old but already understood who they could and couldn't offend. Naturally, no one dared to speak up at this moment.
Wang Jianguo's face turned livid as he witnessed the scene. "Zhu Youcai, do you dare to say you didn't bully anyone?"
With his grandma present, Zhu Youcai wasn't afraid at all. He angrily retorted, "I didn't say anything wrong. He was almost poisoned to death by his mother before. I just don't want everyone to be poisoned by him. Who told him to put on airs? I can't stand him and he even dared to push me."
Zhu Youcai glared hatefully at Zhou Yuehan. This brat used to be so inconspicuous. Now he dressed better than Zhu and carried a cooler backpack, and even tried to win over Xiaoxue with food. Xiaoxue was supposed to be his future wife. Zhou Yuehan daring to flirt with her meant he had a death wish, daring to steal his girl. He would beat him to death for that.
His words were arrogant and unpleasant. Wang Jianguo's face turned even darker with anger.
However, Grandma Zhu was not ashamed but proud. She mocked, "Oh, you're that little brat from Xingfu Village who almost got poisoned by his stepmother? Still alive, huh? Quite a tough life."
"Comrade, he's just a child. You're going too far."
"What's too far about it? My grandson is right. It's the truth. Oh, we're not allowed to speak the truth now? If he were a good kid, would someone try to poison him? Maybe he wasn't any good to begin with! Serves him right!" Grandma Zhu's words were venomous, and it was no wonder Zhu Youcai was so spiteful at such a young age. Clearly, he learned it from her!
Zhou Yuehan turned pale from the insults. He looked up at Si Nian with a distressed and hurt expression... he wasn't a bad child.
"So my Xiaohan being poisoned makes him a bad person, but your grandson poking at others' sore spots and knocking over their lunchboxes makes him a good one?" Si Nian let out a cold laugh. "All you do is curse people, regardless of age. One might think you're the village's mad dog, biting and cursing anyone you see. I used to think you just grew up wrong, but now I see it's a matter of upbringing. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!"
Si Nian didn't wait for her response and continued, "If this lady here can't teach her child, then I'll do it for her. A foul mouth can be corrected with a few good smacks."
Zhu Youcai was scared by the coldness on this beautiful woman's face. Normally, he wasn't afraid of adults; after all, they usually bowed and scraped before his family. But this person was different. She looked different, with a noble bearing and cold eyes. She didn't care at all that he was the village chief's grandson.
