Chapter 278 You Are Not Welcome
Xia Yuan was so angry that she almost died. Even Shao Yuhe did not agree with Shao Yunhan's words.
He looked at Shao Yunhan seriously and said, "Hanhan, when did you have this idea? People are equal, and background doesn't mean everything. You can't look down on those classmates with poor backgrounds just because you have a better background..."
"Shao Yuhe," Xia Yuan interrupted Shao Yuhe, "You can't use your ideas to influence Hanhan. What is equality among people? People are not equal to each other. One's background determines the height of one's starting point."
"I... I can't talk to you." Shao Yu stood up angrily and went back to the study. Xia Yuan sat on the sofa and looked at Shao Yunhan and said, "But sticky bean curd is different. Her family background may not be low. Besides, her first two books made so much money. Sometimes money can determine a person's status."
"I...I don't want to compare myself with her." Shao Yunhan lowered her head and picked at her fingers, saying, "Why should I compare myself with her? Can't I compare myself with others?"
Xia Yuan was really disappointed. It would have been fine if she hadn't met Gu Siqing, but after meeting her, she felt that her daughter was too ordinary.
She said, "Because you two are about the same age and both are famous for your writing, people will compare you two. You can't let yourself be compared. Shao Yunhan, people will always remember the most dazzling one."
Moreover, if it was really as she thought, Gu Siqing would surpass Shao Yunhan in every aspect.
No, she won't allow it.
"You'll be in your second year of high school soon, and after that you'll go straight to Beijing University. But that doesn't mean you don't have to study. That sticky rice dumpling actually skipped a grade through her own hard work."
Xia Yuan softened her voice. After all, she was her own daughter, and she had to help her no matter how much she looked down on her.
Shao Yunhan clenched her fists. She was really tired.
The next day, Xia Yuan returned to her parents' home with her two daughters. When Mrs. Xia saw Shao Yunhan, she said, "Has Hanhan lost weight? Don't put too much pressure on her. Let me tell you, you shouldn't have let her skip a grade. It's better for children to take it one step at a time."
"This child has a talent for writing," Xia Yuan said with a smile. "I want to cultivate her in this area. Other subjects take up too much of her time. I hope she can go to college early so she can delve into writing."
Old Mrs. Xia sighed, "But you can't push the child too hard."
Xia Yuan smiled and said, "Yunlu is old enough to find a partner. I'm worried every day."
Old Lady Xia took a sip of tea and said, "Why are you in such a hurry when you're only in your twenties? Hasn't Xia Ying found someone yet?"
"How can this girl compare to Xia Ying? Xia Ying is about to study abroad. She doesn't have that ability." Xia Yuan said this in a bad tone. Her eldest daughter was about the same age as Xia Ying, but she couldn't compare to her in every way.
How could a mother not understand her own daughter? Old Mrs. Xia looked at her and said, "Every child has their own strengths. Don't always compare your child's shortcomings with the strengths of others. Besides, what are you comparing? Living your own life well is better than anything else."
There were some things that Old Lady Xia couldn't say in front of the two children, so she asked Shao Yunhan and her sister to go upstairs to play while she had a good talk with Xia Yuan.
After the two sisters went upstairs, Old Lady Xia said seriously, "Xia Yuan, when you were dating Shao Yuhe, I knew what kind of person you were, so I didn't agree. But you just fell in love with Shao Yuhe's face, and no matter how I tried to persuade you, it was useless. You just wanted to marry him.
If you marry him, you should live a good life with him. Shao Yuhe is knowledgeable and has a good temper. If you live a down-to-earth life with him, you can live a good life together. "
Xia Yuan felt upset when she mentioned this. "How could I have known he was so unmotivated? Over the years, others have been promoted, but he is still an honest teacher."
He was indeed attracted by Shao Yuhe's appearance at the beginning, but she was not the kind of person who would do anything for love. She thought Shao Yuhe was a potential stock.
Shao Yuhe was a few years older than she was. When she met him, he was in college. College students are precious nowadays, but they were even more precious back then.
She thought at the time that with her father around, Shao Yuhe would definitely be assigned a good job after graduation. And if he worked hard, he would definitely achieve great success in the future.
But what she didn't expect was that Shao Yuhe stayed on at the school to become a teacher after graduation. No matter how she persuaded him, Shao Yuhe refused to take the position arranged by her father.
Later, the movement broke out. Although he wasn't affected, the university was shut down, effectively leaving Shao Yuhe without a job. During those years, she was afraid to greet people when she went out, feeling that Shao Yuhe was bringing shame to her.
After the movement finally passed and the university resumed enrollment, he returned to teaching. She suggested that he try to move around and get a position like director or principal at the school, but he still refused, saying that he just loved teaching.
I really regret it now. Why didn’t I realize that Shao Yuhe was a person who had no ambition?
Shao Yu and her couldn't change, so they tried to raise their two daughters well, but to no avail. Their eldest daughter, Shao Yunlu, had learned from nowhere, like the aunties on the street, gossiping about other people's affairs, acting like a commoner.
The second daughter, Shao Yunhan, originally thought she was pretty good, but who knew that a sticky rice dumpling would appear, and compared to her, Shao Yunhan was nothing.
"I don't want Lulu and Hanhan to follow my old path and suffer the same hardships I have suffered," said Xia Yuan.
"Xia Yuan," Old Lady Xia was also quite angry, "You suffered some hardships before you were three years old. After you turned three, I took you to my side, and all the good things in the house were yours. You suffered hardships? What kind of hardships did you suffer? Speaking of suffering..."
Thinking of the sad things, Old Mrs. Xia couldn't help but started to cry.
At this time, Xia Yuan's eldest brother Xia Zhengming came back. Seeing Old Lady Xia crying, he looked at Xia Yuan with dissatisfaction, walked over and said, "What's wrong?"
Xia Yuan has been spoiled by her family since she was a child. She would feel very hurt if Xia Zhengming didn't say a word to her.
"I didn't say anything, but Mom is thinking about someone she shouldn't be thinking about?" Xia Yuan said whatever she wanted to say in front of her family.
After hearing her words, Old Lady Xia felt even more distressed and her tears flowed even more fiercely. Xia Zhengming looked at Xia Yuan with a sharp gaze, "Xia Yuan, if you can't speak, then don't speak. Look at what you have become."
Xia Yuan stood up quickly and said, "Okay, since you all look down on me, can't I just leave?"
She walked to the stairs and shouted, "Shao Yunlu, Shao Yunhan, what are you still doing up there? Can't you see that you are all unwelcome? Let's go home!"
Old Mrs. Xia and Xia Zhengming were both very angry with her. Xia Zhengming said directly: "Xia Yuan, you are not welcome in this house. Don't come here again in the future."
