Chapter 294 College Entrance Examination 3 If you want, I will ask him to send you to Hong Kong...

Late at night, an underage girl ran out in anger. If her parents didn't do anything, something bad would definitely happen.

Although Yang Shuming was angry at her for being ignorant, he still chased her out. Yao Miaomiao couldn't just sit there and watch, so she quickly told the children to stay at home with their uncle and not run around, and she also went out to look for him.

It turns out that being a stepmother is not easy. She has been very polite these past few days, fearing that the child would throw a tantrum if he was unhappy about something.

Besides, her sister had already taught the child a lesson and specially left her the opportunity to be a good person. How could she not understand her sister's good intentions? Naturally, she spoke softly and greeted her with a smile. Even when eating, she would pick up meat for her stepdaughter first and ignore her own four children.

But who would have thought that this child's twisted mentality could not be changed overnight. He would get upset again because of a few words.

It really makes people worry. If she intervenes, others will say that she is a vicious stepmother. If she doesn't intervene, her own child will suffer. It's really torturous.

She went outside for a walk, but didn't find anyone. She didn't dare to come back, so she had to take a flashlight and check every alley again.

She was somewhat resentful and searched for more than half an hour. Not only did she not find the child, she was also frightened by a red-banded snake lying across the alley.

Unable to hold it in any longer, she turned around and cursed Yang Shuming: "If I had known your eldest daughter would be so noisy, I would never have married you! Do I owe her anything? In the middle of the night, my brother finally came home, and I have to accompany you out to look for someone. I get bitten by mosquitoes, frightened by poisonous snakes, and I have to live in fear. If anything happens to her, the neighbors' spit will drown me!"

Yang Shuming felt very ashamed and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I'll talk to her about it later. If it really doesn't work... if it really doesn't work, I'll just send her to her grandma's house."

"Come on, if I send it now, what will others say about me?" Yao Miaomiao was so angry that she turned around again, but still couldn't find anyone. She had no choice but to curse Yang Shuming while suppressing her anger and continued looking.

Yao Zhizhi saw that most of the day had passed and her sister and brother-in-law had not returned, so she could only tell Yao Weihua, "Third brother, Changxiao and I will go out and look for them. Later, please help me send the stars and the moon to my mother-in-law, okay."

"Why send them there? Sleep with me tonight." Yao Weihua missed his children. He had been taking care of the two little ones since they were born, and they had an extraordinary bond.

Since the gifts had already been distributed, he picked up one in each hand and said, "I'm going to sleep in the west room at the back tonight. The others can squeeze in as much as they want, but don't fight with me."

Yao Jingzong had no objection. He urged Yao Zhizhi: "Go quickly, my daughter. Don't make any big trouble. If you do, our whole family will suffer."

Yao Zhizhi understood, and asked Yao Weihua to borrow Jiaojiao and Yiyi together. The two little snakes turned into little parrots, like two aerial scouts, and went to look for people.

After the couple left, Yao Weihua pondered for a moment and asked, "Dad, how about this? Leave Qianqian to me. I'll take her to study in Hong Kong so that my sister won't be embarrassed."

"Will your brother-in-law agree?" Yao Jingzong thought this was a good idea, but he was worried that his son-in-law would be reluctant to give it up.

Yao Weihua wasn't worried about this: "He can't find a better solution than this. There's still a long way to go. This child hasn't been raised by my side since she was a child. Even if my sister treats her well, she'll still feel uncomfortable. Look at Guanying and Guangmei. They grew up with my brother-in-law. Even though they're not biological children, there's no barrier between them. Instead of this, why not come with me? I can provide her with the best education and the most generous financial conditions. When she gets married in the future, I'll provide her with a dowry and arrange everything for her. If she's still not satisfied after all this, then she really can't blame anyone else."

"Okay, wait until she comes back and then you can talk to your brother-in-law." Yao Jingzong naturally didn't want to see his second daughter's marriage encounter any more setbacks.

Among his four children, only the eldest son and the youngest daughter have happy marriages. The second and third children, one divorced and remarried, and there are many problems in the combined family, and the other dated and broke up again, and is almost thirty years old and still has no place to go. It's really worrying.

Besides, the younger daughter was switched for eighteen years, so it can’t be considered a truly perfect life. So when you count it all, the eldest daughter is the only one who has had a truly smooth life.

He naturally felt sorry for the other three and couldn't help but remind them, "Don't worry about your sisters all the time. Think about yourself."

"Dad, I know. Don't worry. It's only a matter of minutes for me to find a partner. It's just that I have picky eyes and high requirements. It's not that I can't find one. Just wait for my good news." Yao Weihua carried the two children and went to the back to take a bath and sleep.

The midsummer night sky was filled with fireflies. The two children lay on his shoulders, chattering and asking him about Hong Kong.

He smiled and asked, "Do you want to go to Hong Kong with your uncle?"

"Can we go, uncle?" the brother and sister asked in unison.

Yao Weihua smiled and said, "Of course you can, but uncle's words don't count. Wait until mom comes back. You can talk to her yourself and tell her that we'll be back in a few days."

"Mom, can we go together?" The stars were reluctant to be separated from their mother, and the moon was also reluctant to be separated from her father, so they asked similar questions.

Yao Weihua said helplessly: "Mom and Dad have exams soon, so they might not have time, but we can go after they finish their exams. Do you two want to go now? Or wait until Mom and Dad finish their exams and then go together?"

"Can't we both go?" The brother and sister wanted to go together again.

Yao Weihua couldn't help laughing. That's right, you can go now and you can go in the future, you can go anyway!

He thought about it and said comfortingly, "Then wait until Mom comes back and ask her if it's okay to let Second Aunt accompany you there. It just so happens that Uncle wants to send Sister Qianqian to school, so we can get it done in one go."

"But we miss mom and dad, which is so annoying." Xingxing sighed silently. At such a young age, she has already begun to experience the inevitable shortcomings in life.

Yao Weihua quickly pulled out two photos. "But my uncle has a big yacht! I can take you guys to collect shells and build sandcastles. It's super fun! Do you want to go?"

"Yes!" The two little kids were successfully bewitched by their uncle and had begun to imagine running on the beach.

Yao Zhizhi went all the way to the slum in the south of the city before she saw Yang Xiaoqian huddled next to a trash can.

When the flashlight shone over, Yang Xiaoqian quickly covered her eyes with her hands. She couldn't see the person coming, and she didn't want to run anymore. She just passively waited for the judgment of fate.

It turned out that the person who came was not some passing gangster, but Yao Zhizhi, who had beaten her and then offered her a job.

She was in a complicated mood and couldn't say a word. She let Yao Zhizhi pull her up and brush off the dirt on her body.

Qi Changxiao took the flashlight, and the couple came by bike. When they went back, Yao Zhizhi carried her on her back personally, without saying a word, and just rode slowly.

The hot wind slapped her tired body. Yang Xiaoqian was worried, not knowing whether she would be beaten or scolded again. She could only lower her head and struggle silently.

Unexpectedly, Yao Zhizhi did not send her home, but went directly to the edge of Yu Lake and pulled her to sit on the rugged big rock.

There are insects chirping and frogs croaking in your ears, a sky full of stars above your head, and fireflies dancing around you. The night view here is truly unique.

In this melodious serenade, Yang Xiaoqian's restless heart slowly calmed down.

She picked up a handful of stones and threw them into the lake one by one. After a long while, she finally asked, "Why are you looking for me? Don't you hate me?"

"We don't hate you. We hate you for being disrespectful and hostile to others." Yao Zhizhi also picked up a handful of stones and threw them into the lake one by one. She told her story, "You should know that in the beginning, I didn't belong to this family. I was moved in and raised in the countryside..."

Yang Xiaoqian didn't know all this. Her mother said that this woman was raised in the countryside because her mother had a chronic illness when she gave birth to her and had no energy to take care of her.

Her mother had deceived her again.

She was a little confused, and waited until Yao Zhizhi finished speaking before asking, "In those first eighteen years, you almost died several times. Why don't you hate your parents? If they had been more careful, they wouldn't have left you stranded for so many years."

"Hate? When you grow up, you will find that the adult world is very tiring. You have to make a living and support the whole family. You have to remind yourself all the time that you can't be like others and become a numb adult who has no aspirations and just eats and waits for death. You must have your own pursuits, make yourself better, and let the whole family live a better life. It's too busy, so the children are ignorant, and adults will think it is their responsibility. If they don't teach the children well, how can they suspect that the children have been switched. What's more, my mother and that Wang Fang are cousins, and they are a bit similar." Yao Zhizhi also asked herself why she didn't hate her parents, and the answer was that she couldn't hate them.

If she had known her parents a little earlier, if she had not yet married and had children, she would not have been so understanding and forgiving.

Why? Of course, it’s because when you shoulder the burden of life, you realize how trivial and chaotic life can be.

In the first few years of her marriage, her third brother carried the burden for her, so she could focus on her own affairs. Later, her third brother went to Hong Kong, and Shen Qingwan came to help.

So, her burden is actually not that heavy.

But she would put herself in her shoes and think about it. She has her third brother and Shen Qingwan to help take care of the child, but what about her mother?

It would be so chaotic for one person to take care of four people, and he would have to focus on the beginning and not the end.

So she didn't hate him, and she couldn't bear it.

Now, looking at this child full of hatred, she felt even more fortunate that she had not walked into such a narrow dead end.

She threw the last stone and said, "Actually, I could have stopped Guangmei from complaining today. Why didn't I? I just wanted to see how you would react. Obviously, you did as I expected and made everyone in the family go crazy."

"I tried my best, but I couldn't control myself, even though I know your third brother didn't mean it." Yang Xiaoqian covered her face in pain. She didn't want this to happen, but she couldn't help comparing and calculating, like a mentally twisted lunatic.

Yao Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh: "Qianqian, you are a big kid now. If you continue like this, your father's life will be messed up by you. Your father will suffer, you will suffer, and our whole family will suffer. If you want, I can talk to my third brother and ask him to send you to study in Hong Kong."

"Hong Kong?" Yang Xiaoqian was a little surprised. She had heard from adults that Hong Kong was very prosperous and had a lot of rich people. This could be seen from the gift that her uncle brought back tonight.

These were all good things she had never seen before, so they stung her eyes and hurt her heart.

She was not opposed to going to Hong Kong, but was worried that her father could not afford it.

Yao Zhizhi seemed to know what she was thinking and said comfortingly, "Hong Kong is an international metropolis. It can broaden your horizons and expand your mind. Only when a person stands at a high level can he realize that those trivial matters in the past are not worth mentioning. Think about it carefully. Don't worry, we will definitely not treat you unfairly in terms of money, but we really don't want to keep you here. I am a selfish person. I have missed out on living with my parents and siblings for 18 years. I can't waste any more time on you. Please think about it carefully. It will be better for everyone."
