Can't Handle Things

Susie silently withdrew the painting from her hand.

Craig suppressed his anger and said, "Lulu, Susie gives you a gift because she wants to befriend you. It's not right for you to push people." He looked at the broken doll on the floor and couldn't help but frown.

Lucy was particularly irritable and cried every time he said something profound. Sure enough, she burst into tears again, stomping and shouting, "I don't want it."

Susie gathered her courage and handed the painting to Lucy, "Don't cry. This is my gift to you."

Lucy looked at the painting in her hand and pushed her away, "Who wants this? Get out of here."

When David's wife, Mara, heard the talk, she said, "Lulu, be good." Then, she turned to Craig, "Lulu is still a child."

Craig reprimanded, "You have to teach her when she is young. I have said this more than once. How do you teach her? How can she live in a society when she grows up if she was so rude at such a young age?"

Mara bowed her head, "I got it, Dad."

Craig angrily led Susie away.

When Lucy saw that her grandfather ignored her and left, she cried louder, ran into her room, and dropped everything on the table.

Mara was not happy, thinking of Craig's speaking way. She could teach her children, so why should others tell her what to do? Even if this was the child's grandfather, she was unwilling to hear those words.

Craig and Alana were friendly enough to respect her and hardly ever interfered with her chores. But she was usually very respectful to them. Mara thought she was the best daughter-in-law. She just insisted on the matter of children. So what's wrong with her concept?

Lucy was the Murray family's youngest Miss. Even if she did not work in the future, she would live very well.

Mara walked into the room and coaxed Lucy nicely, "Okay, Lulu is a good girl. Don't cry."

Lucy cried even louder.

Mara appeased." Mommy knows. My little girl."

Craig took Susie back to his room. When the parrot saw Susie coming back, it fluttered its wings and tried to fly over, but it was pulled by the anklet.

Susie said comfortingly, "Alex, calm down. After uncle makes a good room for you, he will let you out."

Since Susie's room was set up while she was in the hospital, her uncles didn't know she had a parrot. Therefore, many things in a house that had yet to be specially furnished could hurt Alex because he used to live outside the home. If living in the house, he would hit the glass.

So Alex was tethered to Susie's room for the time being and would be released when Alex got used to it.

Craig watched Susie whisper to comfort the parrot, heartbroken. The little one must be unfortunate.

"Susie, Lulu is usually like this, not very good temper."

But Susie smiled, "It's okay, Grandpa."

Looking at Craig's complicated expression, Susie reassured him, "It's okay, Grandpa. I did also not like to give my stuff away either."

Susie didn't know why adults had to ask their children to be polite. Adults thought it was polite, but kids didn't think so. Now that they owned those, why should they give something they like to someone else?

Craig froze. Susie was so small, yet she seemed to know everything.

Craig became even more upset, and with a gentle face, he stroked her head and said, "Susie, did you draw all these pictures?"

Susie immediately became focused on painting, "I like to draw. In the past, at Daddy's house, I drew many pictures."

But many of them were torn out by Stacy. Then, she suddenly recalled forgetting to take some that she had hidden inside the book when she left.

Craig pointed to one of the paintings, "What is this?"

In the guise of a bit of narrator, Susie happily introduced, "This is two kids going to play in the strange forest. Grandpa, look, there's a flowering vine here, a necklace made by Miss Spring. Uncle Stone fell in half when he rolled down from the mountain, but lucky grass grew out of the cracks. It's Uncle Grass. Look at this flower lady. She tilted her chin and said, 'Hmph, none of you are as pretty as me.' She is a very proud flower lady."

With Susie's introduction, Alex quieted down, tilting his head now and then to look at Susie's painting.

Craig was surprised to find himself in Hayao Miyazaki's animation world.

Susie's paintings were bright and colorful, and a flower and a stone had their lives. Looking at this, people could not help but calm down, warm and healing.

He couldn't resist taking a picture of Susie's painting and sending it to an old friend.

The old friend was a veteran in the field of painting, and Craig thought that Susie liked to paint, so he could see if his friend could accept Susie as his disciple.

While they were enjoying looking at the paintings, there was a commotion from downstairs, and the maid came up and said, "Sir, the lady is back."

Craig took Susie by the hand and said, "Come on, Susie. Grandma's back."

Downstairs, David pushed the wheelchair, and Alana, sitting in it, said in a shaky voice, "Where's Susie."

When she finished her words and looked up, she saw a baby being held by Craig, coming down from upstairs.

Alana instantly felt like she was strangled, so she could not speak. But her eyes were full of tears. That was Clara's child, looking the same as when Clara was a child. But her girl Clara would never come back.

"Susie." Alana choked out.

Susie broke from Craig's hand, ran to Alana, and shouted, "Grandma."

She hesitated momentarily, then reached out her tiny hand and firmly took Alana's hand.

Susie promised her mother that she would take good care of her grandma and be respectful to her. So she would do it right.

Alana sobbed and held Susie in her arms as she listened to the sound of her grandmother.

"Susie, my baby Susie."

The older woman was crying so hard that Susie didn't know how to comfort her grandmother, so she reached out and gently patted Alana's back.

"Do not cry, do not cry. Grandma is a good baby."

Mara coaxed Lulu to come out the door, only to see Alana and Susie hugging each other downstairs.

Craig whispered, 'Okay, okay, don't cry,' David was silent, getting tissues and water.

Lucy hugged the doll and got angry again. Why did her grandma turn into the varmint's grandma?

Susie stole her toys and her grandparents.

Lulu lost her temper, turned her head, and ran upstairs. When she passed by Susie's room, she heard a rattling sound.

She was momentarily attracted and pushed open the door to Susie's room directly, seeing a bright green bird standing on a shelf.

Her eyes lit up, and she ran in immediately.
