My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Hearing his mother's answer, Lin Mo rolled his eyes, utterly speechless. "Since you don't know her, then just now..."

"I may not know him, but others will."

At the red light, Lin Shu stopped the car, glanced back at her son, and said, "Do I need to explain the word 'connections' to you in detail?"

Lin Mo smirked and muttered, "Mom, this will only make your son more curious about what's going on with his grandparents."

"I know."

"Ok?"

Under Lin Mo's surprised gaze, Lin Shu revealed a malicious smile, "I just wanted to make you curious. Sigh, I'm not going to tell you the answer yet. Are you angry or not?"

Lin Mo: "..."

Such an amusing conversation made An Youyu cover her mouth and chuckle, then interjected, "Auntie, please don't make Lin Mo angry."

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly toward the driver's seat, her voice unconsciously lowering considerably, "Lin Mo gets angry very easily. Although Youyu taught you that trick, it's best not to provoke him if you can avoid it."

"cough--"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu looked at An Youyu with a strange expression. She glanced at An Youyu and then at her son. "Um... Yu'er, have you misunderstood something?"

An Youyu tilted her head, indicating her confusion.

Lin Shu smiled and explained softly, "I'm not afraid of Xiao Mo getting angry. If he dares to be angry with me, I'll beat him until he has no temper left. So I don't need your trick. Besides... that trick is only effective if you use it."

Listening to their conversation, Lin Mo turned his head to look out the car window with a stiff face.

“Auntie, you can’t just hit people. Violent education is wrong. If Lin Mo does something wrong, you can reason with him.”

What if reasoning doesn't work?

Faced with Lin Shu's question, An Youyu pondered for a few seconds before replying, "If reasoning is useless, then let's talk about more profound principles."

Such a bizarre answer made Lin Shu's expression quite interesting, with a hint of teasing in her eyes, "Anyway, you can't beat up Xiao Mo, right?"

"Yes...that's right."

After thinking for a moment, An Youyu nodded gently.

Lin Shu's lips twitched. "Why can't we beat them? Spare the rod and spoil the child."

"That statement is rather general and not very accurate."

An Youyu spoke with gentleness, “When it comes to unruly children, you can’t be lenient when they need to be disciplined; but Lin Mo is clearly not that kind of person. He is very steady and measured in his actions, and also…”

As she spoke, she realized something was wrong.

Looking up, she met Lin Shu's ambiguous gaze, and in an instant, her face turned frighteningly red.

"Auntie, Yuyu is just stating the facts. Please don't overthink it."

"Fish, Auntie didn't think much of it, you don't need to explain."

Just then, the green light turned on.

An Youyu hurriedly reminded her, "Auntie, you can go now."

This blatant change of topic finally broke Lin Shu's composure. As she started the car, she said meaningfully, "Fish, sometimes, explanations are just a cover-up."

In an instant, An Youyu's already flushed cheeks rose even higher.

As an observer, Lin Mo's shoulders trembled incessantly. He patted the girl's shoulder and whispered to comfort her, "Don't pay attention to my mom. She talks nonsense all day long. You'll get used to it over time."

While driving, Lin Shu heard her son's comments about her and threatened without turning her head, "Xiao Mo, if you continue to be so disrespectful, believe me, Mom will give you a loving scolding?"

Lin Mo quickly admitted defeat, "No! My son didn't say anything, and you didn't hear anything."

Distracted by the two of them, An Youyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the embarrassment in her heart slowly faded away. "Lin Mo, you seem to be very afraid of Auntie?"

"afraid."

Lin Mo's open admission piqued An Youyu's curiosity. "Why?"

Lin Mo glanced at his mother driving without making a sound, then boldly leaned close to the girl's earlobe, "Having been beaten since you were little, shouldn't you be afraid?"

"It's also..."

An Youyu suddenly realized, but then doubt rose in her eyes again. "But I feel that Auntie is very nice to you."

"It's really good, but the beating is also real."

Lin Mo's expression held a hint of helplessness. "Little Fish, can't these two things coexist?"

An Youyu smiled and said, "Then you should be more careful in the future and not make Auntie angry, then she won't beat you."

Seeing that An Youyu didn't react after he closed the distance, Lin Mo became bolder and moved closer to her again, so close that their arms touched.

An Youyu realized something was wrong and was about to warn Lin Mo when she heard his voice.

"Innocent."

An Youyu frowned slightly. "Why do you say that?"

A smile of success appeared deep in Lin Mo's eyes, but on the surface he was calm as usual, "You think I don't need to be beaten if I don't make my mother angry?"

"But that's just the truth."

"Who told you it's true?"

After staring at An Youyu for a few seconds, Lin Mosheng sighed helplessly, "When she's in a bad mood... she'll beat me up too."

"what?"

Hearing An Youyu's exclamation, Lin Shu quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road. Seeing her son squeezing the girl against the edge of the car door, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you doing?"

Lin Mo spread his hands innocently, "I didn't do anything."

Lin Shu glared at him. "Is the seat over there too hot? Move back a bit."

Lin Mo clicked his tongue. Although unwilling, he didn't say much because of his mother's authority and obediently moved back.

Lin Shu snorted, but her gaze softened instantly when it fell on An Youyu. "Yu'er, did Xiao Mo bully you just now?"

"No, no."

An Youyu hurriedly waved her hand, "Lin Mo didn't bully me, we were just discussing... things related to our studies, yes, we were discussing our studies!"

Such an obvious lie was seen through at a glance by both Lin Mo and Lin Shu.

Lin Shu didn't expose the girl's lie. While surprised, he couldn't help but feel a little gratified, thinking to himself, "This brat is something else!"

never mind!

It's best for her to stay out of young people's business.

As long as it's not excessive, just pretend you didn't see it...

Anyway, there's not much time left until the college entrance exam.

Having made up her mind, Lin Shu started the car and continued driving towards the reserved restaurant.

After driving for a few minutes, An Youyu cautiously nudged Lin Mo's arm. "Auntie isn't that kind of person. How could she possibly take her bad mood out on you?"

"Nothing is impossible."

After saying that, Lin Mo shook his head with a wry smile, met the girl's questioning gaze, and explained in a low voice, "Actually, my mom didn't beat me to vent her anger."

"What's that for?"

"To make me better."

"I...don't really understand."

Seeing that An Youyu still didn't understand, Lin Mo glanced ahead and moved closer to her. "I didn't understand before either, but as I get older, I've gradually figured out why I often get beaten up."

The hot breath on her ear made An Youyu's neck turn pink, but her intense curiosity made her resist the urge to pull away. "Why?"

Do you know what kind of parenting style my mother followed?

"do not know."

"Her teaching method consists of only two sentences."

Lin Mo's expression was bitter. "There's a saying: 'Raise sons frugally and daughters lavishly,' and another: 'Spare the rod and spoil the child.' In her words, she was also a first-time mother and had little experience, so she strictly followed these two sayings."

Just like what he said to An Youyu earlier.

It was good, but the beating was real.

Raising a child in poverty, and truly raising them in poverty...

Chapter 171 I Said Nothing

After listening to Lin Mo's explanation, An Youyu remained silent for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence, "Auntie... is quite interesting."

The girl's words made Lin Mo chuckle.

Comparatively speaking, the mother is indeed quite interesting; it would be better if she beat him less.

Despite saying that, Lin Mo didn't have the slightest complaint in his heart.

He is very content!

after all……

Such a mother is rare in this world.

As the conversation ended, the carriage fell silent.

A dozen minutes later, the car stopped in front of a high-end restaurant. As soon as the three of them got out of the car, they heard a lively commotion.

Across the street, a newly opened supermarket was having a promotional event, and the entrance was packed with people, mostly elderly.

A red flyer was pasted on the left side of the supermarket entrance, with the words "half price" standing out prominently.

"Half price?"

After taking one look, An Youyu couldn't take her eyes off it, her little face filled with obvious eagerness.

The mother and son standing behind her looked at each other, their eyes filled with smiles.

An Youyu reluctantly withdrew her gaze, turned around and took Lin Shu's arm, blinking her eyes lightly: "Auntie, are you hungry right now?"

Lin Shu understood the girl's little thoughts perfectly well, and asked with a smile, "Want to go to the supermarket?"
