In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

Xi Beizhan didn't show it on his face, but everyone could still see the redness behind his ears.

Aunt Liu and Aunt Hu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with smiles.

It's so much fun teasing these young people; they blush so easily. But once they get married, they become thick-skinned and won't blush easily no matter how much you tease them.

"By the way, is Old Ding alright?"

Luo Yu asked casually, then picked up the sweater and continued knitting.

She's quick with her hands, and this piece is almost finished. She'll try to finish it today, and once it's done, she'll knit one for Xi Beizhan so they can wear it when they get married.

Aunt Hu curled her lips, "She's awake. How could she cause trouble if she wasn't awake? Xiao Luo, you didn't see it, did you? That old woman Ding was crying like her own mother had died. What was she thinking? If it weren't for those two spoiling her, Ding Mei wouldn't be in this situation today!"

Aunt Zhao chimed in, "So, you can spoil a child, but you can't pamper them."

Who doesn't love their child? Do you think only your family can have so many kids?

How could you not feel heartache for your own flesh and blood?

It's heartbreaking, but discipline can't be neglected. He throws tantrums at the slightest thing; he's become too spoiled!

Director Xu chimed in, "That's right, you can spoil them but you can't indulge them."

Eat and drink as you please, and take action when the time comes.

You can give your child some good food, but you can't let him not eat any at all. If you spoil him, he'll think it's his due and that all the food in the house should be reserved for him. If you eat even a little bit, he'll feel like you're letting him down.

How can a child like this grow up to be anything good? Can we rely on him to support us in our old age?

If you don't teach him properly when he's young, you can expect him to be thrown out on the street when he's old!

Aunt Zhang, pulling at the yarn, sneered, "If we can't rely on them, we won't. Who knows who will rely on whom in the future?"

Putting everything else aside, our pensions alone are enough for our retirement.

If they treat us well in the future, we'll give them some money; if they don't, they'll kick us out.

Who does she think she is, always wearing that long face? I'm not going to put up with that.

Aunt Liu slapped her thigh and said, "Sister Zhang is right. Relying on them? Haha, I'd rather take care of my health and live on my own."

Honestly, I feel a lump in my throat whenever I see those older women near my home taking care of their children's grandchildren. (Near home: neighbors)

If your grandchildren cry, it's your fault; if they bump or fall, it's your fault; if they're being naughty and disobedient, it's still your fault. So, your mother is never right.

I don't even know who this child was born to. I'm the one who's taking care of them, and I've made a mistake.

If you ask me, I'd rather live comfortably on my own.

Xiao Luo, you and Captain Xi, remember this: don't spoil the kids in the future. Give them a good beating or a scolding if they need it. They'll become like little bastards, not as good as you two.

Luo Yu understood and nodded repeatedly.

“I agree with what Aunt Liu said. Children shouldn’t be spoiled. If they are disobedient, it means they haven’t been disciplined enough. They should be disciplined until they tremble at the sight of me and stop making a fuss.”

Haven't you seen those bratty kids from later generations making headlines? If you didn't spoil them, would they have become bratty kids?

I hate bratty kids the most. If her child is like that in the future, she'll beat him until he poops.

The aunties exchanged glances, their lips twitching.

Is that what they meant? Something doesn't feel right.

Then Luo Yu continued, "Next time I go to the market, I'll buy a couple more bamboo strips and feather dusters. If he doesn't behave, I'll whip him. I want to see if his butt is stronger or if the bamboo strips are stronger."

The older women's lips twitched again as they looked at Xi Beizhan with pity.

Your wife is a real tiger; your daughter and son are going to suffer in the future.

Xi Beizhan remained completely calm, ingratiatingly filling Luo Yu's water glass and continuing the conversation along her lines.

"My wife is right. If he doesn't listen, I'll whip him. You won't have to lift a finger; I'll do it. I know where it hurts without hurting him. I guarantee I'll make him behave after just one hit."

Luo Yu gave Xi Beizhan a satisfied look. "I'm not saying this to be mean, but the old saying goes, 'If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles.' There's truth to that. It's the essence of how the ancients summarized how to raise children, and we should listen to it."

I'm telling you this beforehand: you can't interfere when I'm disciplining the children. If you interfere out of pity, they'll feel like they have a shield and will definitely become disobedient. They'll do it again next time.

Only if you side with me and are on my side will he know he can't resist. No matter how much he resists, no one will help him, so he won't dare to do it again next time.

At least he should think twice before doing something bad, and consider whether his backside can withstand a good beating from my family heirloom.

If you really feel sorry for the child and can't bear to watch, you can go outside and come back after I've finished hitting him.

But you can't appease him; he has to stay on my side. Otherwise, not only will he have taken this beating for nothing, but I'll beat him even harder next time.

Xi Beizhan nodded solemnly with a straight face, "Don't worry, wife, I'm definitely on your side. There's no question of me feeling sorry for the child."

Just remember to find a weapon before you hit the child, so you don't hurt yourself. It would break my heart if you hurt yourself for the sake of an unfilial son.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yu felt as if she had drunk two large vats of ice water on a hot summer day. She felt so comfortable that she almost glared at Xi Beizhan with a look of pure bliss.

His wife was staring at him without any regard for the stares from the crowd, so how could Xi Beizhan not respond? Not only did he keep his eyes fixed on Luo Yu with affection, but he also couldn't help but secretly tug at the hem of Luo Yu's clothes.

His wife was holding a knitting ball and didn't have time to hold his hand, which annoyed him.

The faces of the middle-aged women were contorted in shock, as if they couldn't bear to look at them, and they covered their eyes and turned their faces away.

Young people like that don't know their place; the women are still around.

The topic had gone off-topic, straying five miles away. It looked like the two children would be hugging each other if they weren't there. Director Xu quickly steered the conversation back on track to get their attention.

"Old Ding woke up first, and after waking up, he stared straight at the ceiling, I don't know what he was thinking."

He ignored us when we spoke to him, until Old Lady Ding woke up and started crying, then he finally responded.

Sure enough, as soon as Director Xu spoke, Luo Yu's attention was immediately drawn to her, and she looked at her with bright eyes.

"Is Old Ding thinking of doing something rash? He probably won't get paid for the next six months. What will his family eat and drink?"

Aunt Zhao sighed, "I don't think it's that bad. If it's not for anything else, his four nephews are still counting on him to support them. He has to get through this for the sake of those four children."

Aunt Hu rolled her eyes. "I've never seen a man more cowardly than him. His mother makes him raise his nephew, so he'll raise him? He can't even raise his own children properly, let alone his nephew. I don't know what he's thinking."

Luo Yu curled her lip, "That's just blind filial piety. Even my farts smell good to me. If I say one word, he'll jump into the river without even a fight. His wife is going to suffer if she falls for a man like that."

Several middle-aged women nodded in agreement. Aunt Liu said, "That's right. That old woman Ding almost fainted several times from crying. Guess what her first question was?"

Luo Yu looked at Aunt Liu curiously, "What did you ask?"

Aunt Liu pursed her lips, shook her head, and let out a long sigh.
