Chapter 119 deserves to be held in high regard.
Let's discuss it properly and see who goes first!
Hearing Qin Jin'an's words, Su Changsheng and Su Changshui were clearly dissatisfied. One divination a day was not enough.
But looking into Qin Jin'an's cold eyes, they felt that she was heartbroken.
“I know my father doesn’t want me, my mother doesn’t want me, nobody wants me, you’re all lying to me, but it’s okay, as long as you’re willing to love me, I’ll give you another chance to believe in you.”
Qin Jin'an looked at Su Changsheng and Su Changshui. Although she was not even five years old, she looked as if she had already experienced the vicissitudes of life and seen through everything.
"Of course, of course, we all love you."
Su Changsheng chuckled and said, trying his best to make himself look more believable.
Kids forget things easily; just lie to her a little and she'll forget about it after a while.
If we trust them wholeheartedly, what will their family have to worry about?
"Yes, yes, we will all love you dearly. You are the treasure of our whole family."
Su Changshui also realized that because of his excessive greed, even his deception seemed somewhat sincere.
Qin Jin'an looked at them, nodded obediently, and said, "Then I want to eat sweet boiled eggs when I get back, and Jinbao and Jingui are not allowed to eat them!"
"Want some sweet boiled eggs? No problem, just have the kitchen make a lot."
Su Changshui immediately said that the child wanted to be the only one to be pampered, but Su Jinbao was his son, how could he not give him food?
"No, it can only be made for me, they're not allowed to eat it!"
Qin Jin'an was very determined. At this moment, her expression was extremely gloomy, like a child who would throw a tantrum if she didn't get special treatment.
Seeing her like this reminded Su Changshui of Qin Shi, and he felt extremely displeased.
Su Changsheng tugged at him, then smiled and said to Qin Jin'an, "Okay, okay, I'll only make it for you, only you can have it."
Su Changsheng defined Qin Jin'an's unusual behavior as a childish attempt to prove that she was the most favored. After all, having been abandoned twice, it was normal for her to act this way.
Besides, Su Jingui and Su Jinbao eat sweet boiled eggs every day, so it's no big deal if they don't eat them for a day, especially since they always complain about toothaches.
"My second uncle is so kind."
Qin Jin'an was satisfied and finally smiled.
When the carriage arrived at the Su residence, Su Changsheng bent down and said, "Su Dai, get on, your second uncle will carry you into the house."
Qin Jin'an climbed onto Su Changsheng's back; after several months, she had returned here once again.
"We're home. You're still living in the same old courtyard."
Su Changsheng said with a smile.
Qin Jin'an nodded; she didn't care where she stayed.
"You're back? Don't rush back to the courtyard. Go to your parents' courtyard first. She hasn't seen her grandparents in so long; she should go see them."
Su Yu'e arrived early to wait, and finally the person arrived. Although her second and third brothers would definitely take Su Dai with them, she came to deliver the message and led the way, as if she had brought her specially.
She was the most filial daughter to her parents.
Let's go.
Su Changsheng could easily see through her little scheme, but considering that Su Yu'e would be getting married in less than two years, he couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
Old Man Su and Old Madam Yang waited anxiously, as they were feeling unwell and were hoping to hear some kind words.
Seeing Su Changsheng carrying someone in, Old Madam Yang immediately stood up and said, "Su Dai, quickly say a few nice words to help us get better!"
Qin Jin'an glanced at them indifferently. The Su family members were all there, except for Su Chang'an.
She said calmly, "Grandma, I can only do one divination a day. I haven't done one today yet. If you want one, I'll do it for you first."
She didn't like the name Su Dai, but she knew it was useless to correct it. In the eyes of the Su family, she would always be Su Dai, and they would always call her Su Dai.
It's okay, as long as she knows her name is Qin Jin'an.
"What divination? I told you to say nice things, to wish for my grandfather and me to be healthy and free from illness, do you understand?"
Old Mrs. Yang had little patience.
Qin Jin'an's face also turned cold: "I hate the way you are, I'm not going to do your calculations!"
She didn't come here to be a doormat.
This was a plan she and Qi Yuanyou had devised. She wanted to play pranks on others so that they wouldn't be able to figure her out. She would play pranks appropriately, but also be gentle at the same time, blurring the lines between truth and falsehood.
Qin Jin'an suddenly got angry. Old Madam Yang was stunned at first, then furious, and stepped forward to hit him.
Qin Jin'an didn't back down, but closed his eyes with a sob in his voice: "Kill me, I'll be free when I'm dead. You don't love me, and I hate you too!"
Her crying and trembling made her look extremely vulnerable.
The Lian and Liu families simply couldn't understand the current situation.
Su Changsheng and Su Changshui immediately set off, one stopping Old Madam Yang and the other coaxing Qin Jin'an.
"Don't cry, Su Dai. Your grandma is just having a bad day and can't control her temper. Your third uncle will take you to rest and have some good food. Your grandma has been in so much pain lately that she's confused. Not to mention you, even Jin Gui and Jin Bao often get beaten up, but she still loves you all."
Su Changshui carried Qin Jin'an outside.
Su Changsheng calmly said, "I have something to say to you."
Old Madam Yang was indignant and wanted to lash out, but Su Changsheng shouted, "If you want to keep in pain, then go ahead and hit her. Do you think Su Dai is still the same Su Dai as before? This child has been abandoned twice, and she is very sensitive. Before we can comfort her, no one can provoke her."
"What do you mean? Does that mean we still have to fawn over her?"
Old Yang couldn't accept it. This person was supposed to come back to ward off disaster, not to bring back an ancestor!
"You mean she's just like her mother, unpredictable and moody?"
Old Su asked, frowning.
Su Changsheng nodded: "More or less, but she still longs for someone to love her. She is sensible and well-behaved. It's normal for her to be traumatized after being abandoned by her parents twice. She is currently in a phase where she doesn't trust us. If we don't show her some love, she won't be on our side."
“But she’s still a child. She’s clever but not very shrewd. She said that if she gave it to us, she would get sick, and we don’t love her, so she doesn’t want to give it to us anymore. If you want to hear her nice words, just coax her. Children don’t remember things. After a while, she’ll be fine again.”
Su Changsheng explained earnestly that, in his view, simply calculating a divination was meaningless; it was just a child's clumsy way of seeking love.
Just like when he was a child, he would pretend to be sick to get his parents' favor, he would work hard to perform when he got the benefits.
"The second brother is right, let's try to appease her first."
Old Man Su pondered for a moment and said that after listening to Su Changsheng's explanation, he understood.
Upon reflection, he agreed with this statement.
“She’s still holding a grudge. On the way here, she said she wanted to eat sweet egg soup, and that it couldn’t be made for Jin Gui and Jin Bao, it had to be just for her. We promised her that they’re not allowed to eat sweet egg soup tonight,” Su Changsheng added.
Old Mrs. Yang frowned. Su Jingui and Su Jinbao were her precious grandsons. Why shouldn't they be given food? It's not like they can't afford it.
"How could she be so selfish? She learned it all from Qin Yuwan!"
Old Mrs. Yang didn't remember that even though she could afford to eat a lot of sweet boiled eggs, Qin Jin'an had never had one before, and she would feel sorry and unhappy if Su Jingui and Su Jinbao never got to eat one.
