The school-organized field trip was very interesting. It was in a protected forest area with a large meadow where the children played and enjoyed the spring scenery.
Some teachers organized small activities such as painting and flying kites.
Zhou Jiaqi was really eye-catching, except that he brought servants with him when he went out. After the teacher said that they were dismissed for free time, Jiang Tong led the two children to choose a spot, and the two servants immediately stepped forward to quickly lay out their things and left.
The young master remained silent the entire time, but he still seemed unhappy, pouting and clutching Jiang Tong's skirt tightly.
Many people in the vicinity looked over, probably not many people had such a grand display as the Zhou family.
Jiang Tong sighed inwardly.
Zhou Yuansheng, a grown man, has already done a lot of work raising a child to this extent. But when it comes to thoughtfulness, he can't compare to a woman's delicate sensibilities. Of course, he wanted to give Zhou Jiaqi the best living conditions, and he did. But he didn't expect the child to be so sensitive.
This extra protection and care makes him stand out from the other children, and also makes Zhou Jiaqi afraid of the frequent sidelong glances from others.
Jiang Tong reached out and patted the little boy's head, smiling, "What's wrong? Hanhan has started drawing, doesn't Qiqi want to draw with her?"
After she reminded him, Zhou Jiaqi finally realized what she meant and said anxiously, "I want it! Hanhan, wait for me! I want to draw with you too!"
With something to do, Zhou Jiaqi's attention was diverted, and he forgot about his attention-grabbing behavior, immediately drawing pictures next to Hanhan.
Jiang Tong smiled as she watched the two children drawing together. She was very pleased that Hanhan could draw with others like this.
Let the two kids play.
She also spread out the things she had brought, placing the picnic blanket next to Zhou Jiaqi's so the two children could eat and play together.
Jiang Tong was able to relax a bit, and looking at the clear blue sky made her feel much better. As usual, Yu Yaoqian sent her a few photos of Pei Pei today. The little girl was holding a big ice cream cone and had chocolate all over her mouth.
Wang Chungui chatted with other grandmothers from the neighborhood, while Peipei ate a chocolate ice cream cone and played with the dog. Jiang Tong frowned as she looked at the photos Yu Yaoqian had sent her recently, in which Peipei was mostly eating sweets.
Just then, Yu Yaoqian also sent over a few voice messages, which Jiang Tong listened to at a low volume.
"My goodness, you were really awesome last time. You sent that scumbag to jail for a few days. I heard that leaves a record. Wang Chungui was trying to keep it from her new daughter-in-law, but who knew that woman found out from somewhere, had a big fight with Xu Huaiyuan, went back to her parents' home, and was later coaxed back. Now she's like the Queen Mother of the West in his house."
Yu Yaoqian's tone continued to rise as she thoroughly enjoyed the gossip. "Now, Wang Chungui is always sarcastic and unpleasant when she goes out. She doesn't praise her new daughter-in-law anymore. I guess the novelty has worn off. Now she complains every day that her new daughter-in-law is hard to please. I think this is how we should teach her a lesson!"
Meanwhile, Yu Yaoqian also brought slightly better news: "Wang Chungui doesn't seem to care about Peipei as much lately. She chats with others and doesn't keep an eye on the child, letting Peipei run around by herself. Today, I took the opportunity to coax Peipei to the side and asked her if she missed her mother. Who knew that she would say she missed you so much today? I think I should miss you too."
Furthermore, Yu Yaoqian received a message that Xu Huaiyuan's current wife, after learning that he was being treated as a harasser for pursuing his ex-wife, ordered him to send Peipei away. Now, neither Xu Huaiyuan nor Wang Chungui are very happy about this.
However, the other party's attitude was a bit tough. According to Peipei, her stepmother was very fierce and bad. She said that no mother was as good as her own. In addition, recently, her family had been coaxing the stepmother for fear of her getting a divorce, and had also neglected Peipei. It was because of this that Peipei started to miss Jiang Tong.
Yu Yaoqian was also conflicted. She said, "On one hand, I think Peipei can still be saved. After all, she's still young and can be taught well. You know I grew up with my grandparents, so I know how bad it feels to not have parents. I feel a little guilty. But on the other hand, I'm worried about you. Raising one child is already exhausting, let alone adding Peipei on top of that. And Peipei's personality requires a lot of effort to teach her..."
In addition, Hanhan is sensitive and is often bullied by Peipei, so I'm afraid it won't be good for Hanhan either.
Jiang Tong sighed, but replied, "But Peipei is indeed my child, and I can't easily give her up..."
The reason she didn't take her away before was because Jiang Tong herself was exhausted, her world was almost collapsing, and she was powerless to take away a daughter who didn't like her, plus she had to go through the trouble of snatching her away from Wang Chungui.
therefore.
She could only force herself to stay awake and help Hanhan untangle this mess before catching her breath, otherwise she was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold on.
Even now, she knows that something is wrong with her. Even an outsider like Zhou Yuansheng can see that she is just temporarily blocking out the pain and is really lacking a way to completely vent or reopen old wounds.
But Jiang Tong doesn't want to touch on it for the time being. She wants to heal little by little with time. She's much better now. If Pei Pei is willing to come back to her, then she will naturally choose to accept the child.
Although education and correction may take time, things would likely be much better without Wang Chungui's interference.
After listening, Yu Yaoqian sighed deeply. Being a mother is not easy. However, she said, "Since that's what you mean, I'll keep an eye out for you."
Jiang Tong thanked her, saying, "Thank you for your help. I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
Yu Yaoqian laughed heartily, "Alright, why are you being so polite with me?"
Jiang Tong smiled too.
Over there, the kindergarten teachers were organizing a parent-child activity and starting a mini-competition.
Zhou Jiaqi's mood visibly somber until Jiang Tong walked over, raised her hand and patted his head, "Aunt Jiang, I think my stamina is still pretty good. I can still play a few games with you two kids. Qiqi, you and Hanhan have to step up your game, let's try to win!"
That way she can play more games with them and win more small gifts.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiaqi immediately looked up and laughed, then rushed over to hug Jiang Tong, saying in a sweet and dependent baby voice, "Aunt Jiang, you're so kind! You're the most beautiful person in the world!"
Jiang Tong was amused by him.
After becoming a mother, I really can't bear to see my child unhappy; my maternal love is overflowing.
Hanhan glanced at Zhou Jiaqi with disdain. She had originally wanted to blame him for taking her mother away, but when she saw his red eyes, she fell silent.
This kid cries so much!
But thinking about it, I also feel sorry for him, because his dad can't always be with him.
But her mother was always by her side.
Think about it this way.
Hanhan stopped arguing with Zhou Jiaqi and went over to hold onto her mother's skirt.
