Chapter 120: So tough that the bones are about to be exposed
The man didn't waste time talking to the dog owner, and he had to take his daughter to the hospital.
The dog owner was still trying to stop the man, but Sheng Jiahao quickly moved to intervene. The dog owner shouldn't have dragged the man along at this moment; he should have asked someone to take the child to the hospital. We all lived nearby, so we were all neighbors. If the dog owner's dog had injured someone, they should have focused on the child first, not the dog.
"He beat my dog to death." The dog owner was indignant.
"Your dog also bit someone." Sheng Jiahao said.
"It's just a puppy. How could it possibly bite anyone? It's not a Tibetan Mastiff!" The dog owner always felt his dog was not at fault. "Our dog is very well behaved."
Jiang Moli had seen many similar videos in her past life. Dog owners always thought their dogs were well-behaved and wouldn't bite anyone, but the reality was that the dog actually bit someone. The child had already been bitten; the facts were clear and it wasn't fake.
It's not that dogs are prohibited, but dog owners must keep their dogs on a leash when taking them outside. Even if everyone is a neighbor, they are not familiar with dogs, and the dogs are not familiar with them, which can easily cause panic and lead to problems.
Jiang Moli didn't expect such a thing to happen in front of her. She picked up the baby and prevented him from looking over.
"It's just a dog, he can afford to compensate." Sheng Jiahao said.
"I've developed a bond with the dog," the dog owner said. "You guys help them... but be careful of me..."
Sheng Jiahao didn't bother to pay attention to the dog owner. As long as the dog owner didn't stop the man from taking the child to the hospital, that was all that mattered. When Sheng Jiahao was about to leave, the dog owner tried to stop him, but his family members showed up and quickly stopped him.
The dog owner is relatively young, and his family is afraid to let him continue to yell. The neighbors nearby are all relatively capable people, and there is no benefit in offending them.
It was just a dog, and if it died, it died. But the dog owner's parents still felt that their child had gotten into trouble and they had to apologize for the child.
"I'm so sorry, it's my fault," said the dog owner's mother.
"They've gone to the hospital." Sheng Jiahao said, "The one injured isn't from our family, it's someone else. You guys deal with it yourselves."
Sheng Jiahao didn't want to waste time talking to these people. It wasn't his family that was hurt, and he didn't want to just stand there. Sheng Jiahao quickly returned to Jiang Moli and the baby. The couple took the baby home and decided not to continue walking outside, but to take a walk in the yard first.
When Jiang's mother saw Sheng Jiahao and his wife returning with their child so quickly, she wondered, "Didn't they go for a walk?"
"Something happened." Jiang Moli said, "Fortunately, we left a little later. A little girl was bitten by a dog. It wasn't a big dog, but a small one."
Jiang Moli always thought that small dogs might be safer. She knew that small dogs could bite people, and it was not impossible. When the incident happened in front of her, Jiang Moli could not bear to watch. Jiang Moli felt heartbroken when she saw the little girl crying miserably.
"No rope?" Jiang's mother asked.
"Well, there's no leash." Jiang Moli said.
"It's such a sin! Did he bite your face?" Jiang's mother said.
"No, it bit my leg, but... it wouldn't be good if it left a scar on my leg," Jiang Moli said. "It would be hard for girls to wear skirts. The dog looked like that, I wonder if it was sick."
"These people are really stupid. How can they keep dogs without leashes?" Jiang's mother said, "Next time, keep a closer eye on the baby when you take him out. Don't let him get bit by a dog."
"This kind of situation is relatively rare," Jiang Moli said. "We still have to tell the property management that dogs must be leashed. They can't be unleashed. It's fine if they don't leash their dogs at home. But when they go out, they must be leashed."
"It still depends on their self-awareness." Mother Jiang looked at the baby, "Baby, are you scared? Let grandma see our baby."
"The baby is not scared, mommy doesn't let the baby see it." Little Sheng Haoxuan really wanted to take a look, but Jiang Moli and her husband didn't let him see it.
"Don't look at such a bloody scene." Jiang Moli said.
"Mom, baby doesn't want to keep a dog." Little Sheng Haoxuan said. He knew that a dog had bitten someone, and he was so young that he couldn't hold the dog back, so it was better not to keep it.
Father Jiang raised two large geese in the backyard. Little Sheng Haoxuan thought the geese were particularly fast runners. He felt that he couldn't control the geese, so he decided not to get a dog for now. He would wait until he grew up before deciding whether to get a dog.
If you don't have a dog at home, it's good to have a dog guarding the house, but if it's not raised well, it can also be harmful to the animal.
Sheng Jiahao hired bodyguards to protect his family, and he didn't expect that just raising two dogs could protect his family.
A few years ago, a murder occurred next door to the house. No one has moved in yet. People are afraid to buy that house because they think it is haunted and they are afraid that something bad will happen to it in the future. There are a lot of weeds growing around the house, and there is some green moss on the walls.
When it gets a little later, no one goes near that house. They all feel that it is eerie and gives people a very bad feeling, so it is better to stay away from it.
The dog bite incident upset the neighbors, who might have encountered it while out for a walk. The dog owner's family visited the little girl and, instead of asking for compensation for the dog, offered her medical expenses. The family remained dissatisfied, and the dog owner's family kept apologizing, only to be told: "If you don't keep your dog on a leash, don't keep a dog anymore."
The family tied up their dogs and dared not let them out. Even so, the family was still not satisfied. The young man, the dog owner, wanted to take the dog for a walk and didn't want to tie it up. The little girl's father hired someone to stand nearby and beat any unleashed dogs to death. The little girl's father would then pay for the dogs.
Haha, it’s not that only one family is rich, others are also rich.
As a result, many neighbors knew about this matter.
After Jiang Moli learned about it, she felt that the little girl's father had done a good job. Never mind whether the dog was innocent or not. The other dogs were innocent, but the little girl was injured, and the little girl's father was worried that something like that would happen again. Besides, the little girl's father didn't target other families, but only the dog owner's dog.
The neighbors knew about the little girl's father's behavior. If they had dogs, they would tie them up when they went out. They dared not take them out without a leash. The people in this area suddenly became much more civilized. The little girl's father did a good job and knew how to protect his children.
When Jiang Moli told Sheng Jiahao about this incident, the two were walking in the yard.
"If it were me, I would do the same," Sheng Jiahao said. "I can't let my child get hurt in vain. It's okay if the child is just injured, but if he accidentally loses his life, those people can't afford the compensation. If we don't teach those people a lesson, they will continue to walk their dogs without leashes next time, and they might even let a few dogs out. People like these must be made to understand that if they don't leash their dogs, others will have plenty of ways to help them."
"Yes." Jiang Moli nodded. "I heard that the little girl had several stitches on her leg. A piece of flesh was bitten off directly."
Jiang Moli only glanced at it at the time and didn't see it too clearly. When Jiang Moli heard others talk about the little girl's leg injury, she felt it was too scary. The little girl was still young and had a good recovery ability, but she was also worried that she might not be able to recover in time. Girls all love beauty. The little girl might not know the impact of the scar on her leg now. When she is a little older, no, she doesn't need to be a little older. As long as the little girl plays with other children, other children may dislike the scar on her leg.
"You can almost see the bones." Jiang Moli said, "It must be very painful."
"It's impossible not to hurt." Sheng Jiahao said.
"Blow it." The baby raised his head and looked at his mother. "Mom, blow it and the pain will fly away."
"It hurts so much. Even a little bit of the wind hurts." Jiang Moli said, "If you run into danger next time... well, with your little arms and legs, you won't be able to run away. From now on, you can't run out alone. You must have someone by your side. If you get hurt, Mom and Dad will be very sad."
"Oh, go out with mommy, go out with daddy, go out with grandma, go out with grandpa, go out with grandma..." The baby counted on his fingers, "I won't go out alone."
Jiang Moli listened to the baby counting, one person at a time. Children sometimes talk like this, seemingly without a focus. It would be enough to talk about one or two people, but they had to talk about them one by one. Jiang Moli did not get impatient. She gently rubbed the baby's head.
"Little baby, you have to be a good baby and know how to protect yourself." Jiang Moli said.
"Mom, don't call me baby, call me Haoxuan, call me Xuanxuan." Little Sheng Haoxuan said, "Baby..."
Little Sheng Haoxuan quickly covered his mouth, "Baby, I...Xuanxuan, I...I will pay attention."
"Okay, baby Xuanxuan." Jiang Moli chuckled.
"Okay, okay, call me baby at home." Xiao Sheng Haoxuan said, "When we go out, there are many babies. If mom calls me baby, the other babies will think I'm calling them."
"The voices of other babies' mothers are different from yours." Jiang Moli asked, "Can our baby recognize his mother's voice?"
"Yes, yes." Little Sheng Haoxuan said, "I can definitely recognize my mother's voice."
"Our baby is the best." Jiang Moli said.
Sheng Jiahao smiled when he saw his wife and children so happy.
At this time, Ding Hongwang got a job at a factory that had dormitories. He moved right in. Ding Chao, the boss, arranged for him to work there, out of respect for Ding Hongwang's father. The factory was private, not state-owned.
It's not so easy to get into state-owned factories these days, so Ding Hongwang and Ding Chao didn't work in the same factory. Ding Hongwang lived in the dormitory, where he was relatively young. He didn't live on campus in junior high, but instead lived in a room all to himself. Now, he was suddenly sharing a dormitory with several other people. Some of the men's socks and shoes were stinky, and the dormitory's sanitation wasn't great.
When Ding Hongwang lived at home, Jiang Yuqin would help him clean the room and did not let Ding Hongwang clean it himself.
Of course, Ding Hongwang wasn't completely incompetent; he just wasn't used to factory dormitory life or working there. He felt it was easier when he was studying, but now that he had graduated, he needed to work on his own and earn his own money.
After Ding Hongwang went to work at the factory, Jiang Yuqin and his wife took time to visit him. When Ding Hongwang moved to the dormitory, Jiang Yuqin and his wife also saw him off. Jiang Yuqin and his wife thought it would be great to see Ding Hongwang less often and not have to worry about his affairs.
Jiang Yuqin cleaned up the room where Ding Hongwang originally lived and let their own son live there. Jiang Yuqin and her husband did not let their daughter live there because their daughter was older than their son, so they still let her sleep in the living room.
Jiang Yuqin always felt more relaxed when the family ate together. Without Ding Hongwang around, the family didn't have to cook as much, which saved them some money.
"Hongwang still has some clothes that he hasn't taken over yet. I'll put them aside for now," Jiang Yuqin said. "When he comes and wants some clothes, I'll give them to him."
"Okay." Ding Chao said, "If I have time, I have to go see him."
"Yeah." Jiang Yuqin nodded. If she had time, she would go over and take a look. If she didn't have time, she wouldn't go.
Jiang Yuqin's daughter didn't say anything. She only knew that no matter whether Ding Hongwang was at home or not, she had no status in this family.
Ding Hongwang was sent to the factory a few days after graduating from school. Jiang Yuqin and her husband did not think of letting Ding Hongwang play at home for a long time. They wanted to make arrangements for Ding Hongwang as soon as possible so that everyone could relax a little.
Ding Chao felt that he had raised Ding Hongwang so well, and the factory leaders, seeing this, shouldn't say anything to him. He had always wanted a promotion, thinking that raising Ding Hongwang was a way to atone for his sins. Unfortunately, his leaders wouldn't let him get a promotion, which made Ding Chao less eager to support Ding Hongwang. Ding Chao couldn't find a job for Ding Hongwang himself, so he deliberately asked his leaders about it, wanting them to know that he had been supporting Ding Hongwang for so many years.
As soon as the leader heard Ding Chao's words, he understood what he meant. The leader didn't think Ding Chao was that good. If Ding Hongwang's father hadn't died, Ding Hongwang might have had a better life and wouldn't have had to suffer so much. The leader found Ding Hongwang a job so that he could settle down on his own sooner. Ding Hongwang always relied on Ding Chao, but that wasn't going to work.
Ding Chao had his own son and daughter, so he was able to support Ding Hongwang's education until he graduated from junior high school, which was already quite impressive. It would be difficult for Ding Chao to arrange other things for Ding Hongwang.
Jiang Yuqin took a few bites of her meal, and then she thought of something else: "Did your boss tell you about the promotion?"
"No." Ding Chao told his leader about Ding Hongwang's affairs, and the leader arranged Ding Hongwang's affairs.
Over the years, Jiang Yuqin had more or less figured out why Ding Chao had raised Ding Hongwang. Ding Chao hadn't said much, and there were speculations out there. Jiang Yuqin didn't dare ask Ding Chao any more, but she knew there must be something fishy going on.
"We've already raised Hongwang to this age and have him in junior high school. Now he's out working. Isn't it enough to raise him this far?" Jiang Yuqin said, "Even if you made mistakes in the past, that's in the past. After all these years, isn't it enough?"
Ding Chao looked at Jiang Yuqin, "How much do you know?"
"I...people outside said that," Jiang Yuqin said, "Even if you have done something wrong to Hongwang's father, haven't you also taken care of Hongwang?"
"It's useless." Ding Chao said, "Everyone says that if Hongwang's father is still alive, he can live a better life."
Ding Chao knew what those people were saying about him behind his back. No matter how nice he was to Ding Hongwang, it was useless; those people thought he was unreliable. Ding Chao deeply regretted his actions. If only he hadn't done what he did, it would have been much better. Ding Chao couldn't change what happened. He had tried hard to do something, but the leaders at work remained the same, leaving Ding Chao feeling helpless.
The company leader meant to give Ding Chao a raise, but not a promotion. Ding Chao thought that others had received raises, and he wasn't the only one getting one. Since the leader wouldn't relent, there was no way Ding Chao could get a promotion.
After working at the factory for so many years, Ding Chao wasn't particularly capable, so he didn't dare leave for a private company. Jiang Yuqin worked at a private factory; she earned money when she had a job, but lost it when she didn't, and her benefits weren't as good. Naturally, Ding Chao wanted to stay at his original company, hoping to receive a pension in his old age, which would be much better.
"But Hongwang's biological father is dead," Jiang Yuqin said. "If you didn't bring him here and adopt him, would he have followed his biological mother and remarried? Would he have been able to live as well as he does now? Or do they think Ding Hongwang can go to high school and get into college?"
"I don't know." Ding Chao said.
"When Hongwang's biological mother came over, she didn't say we weren't good enough to Hongwang," Jiang Yuqin said. "We've been very good to Hongwang. Our own children haven't gotten as many good things as we should. When the children have conflicts, we only talk about our own children and don't dare to say anything about Hongwang."
Jiang Yuqin was unwilling to accept this. They had raised Ding Hongwang well, but others still thought they were not doing enough. Those who thought they were not doing enough should do more and raise Ding Hongwang if they had the ability.
"They're going too far." Jiang Yuqin said, "Will they always treat you like this?"
“…” Ding Chao was silent.
"Shall I go ask the leader of your unit?" Jiang Yuqin said.
"It's useless for you to go," Ding Chao said. "The leaders will just think we have too much to do. You'd better not go."
If Jiang Yuqin could be useful, Ding Chao would let her go. But Jiang Yuqin didn't have that much ability, so Ding Chao couldn't let her go. It would be better for her to stay at home.
"This won't work, and that won't work either," Jiang Yuqin said. "Doesn't your leader just want to put pressure on you? You didn't do it on purpose. You've been trying your best to be nice to Hongwang over the years."
Ding Chao sighed. He didn't dare to think about whether he would get a promotion or not. Those younger than Ding Chao had already been promoted, but Ding Chao hadn't. He didn't dare to say much when people who didn't know the situation asked him. Ding Chao didn't want others to know about his past.
Zhao Jiaojiao's admission letter arrived, and she was successfully admitted to Nancheng University of Communication.
Niu Cuihua was very happy when she saw Zhao Jiaojiao's admission letter. This is a university, which means that their family has a college student. Niu Cuihua thought that it was a good thing that her family let Zhao Jiaojiao go to high school. It was worth spending a little more money. Zhao Jiaojiao was admitted to university, how great it was.
Nancheng Communication University is not as good as Nancheng University and other schools, but it is still a university after all.
Niu Cuihua also called Jiang's mother specifically. She had something to do and couldn't go there, so she called to tell Jiang's mother that Zhao Jiaojiao had been admitted. Niu Cuihua not only called Jiang's mother, but also called Niu's father in his hometown to let everyone know that Zhao Jiaojiao had been admitted to university.
Zhao Jiaojiao felt a little embarrassed when she saw her mother so excited. The school she got into was not particularly good, and there were many people in her class who were better than her.
"Mom, you'd better not tell anyone." Zhao Jiaojiao asked her mother not to make the call. "The phone bill is expensive."
It’s not your own phone, and even if it was, you still have to pay the phone bill.
Zhao Jiaojiao stared at her mother. If her mother made another call, it would cost more money.
"Others will think we are too proud." Zhao Jiaojiao said.
"Okay, okay, I won't fight anymore." Niu Cuihua said.
When Shi's mother learned about Niu Cuihua's behavior, she told others that Niu Cuihua had done something wrong.
"My son got into a better school. Back then, good schools were more valuable. I didn't tell her about this." said Shi's mother.
"How could you not tell us? You even hung a banner to let all of us know." Aunt Zhao said. She still remembered how proud Shi's mother was at that time. Shi's mother always said that Shi Nan was the first college student in their street, that Shi Nan was amazing, and that Shi Nan was the most powerful person in their street.
"Isn't it because everyone says that our Shi Nan is great, and they are just sharing in the good news?" said Shi's mother.
"Haha." Aunt Zhao sneered, "Is it everyone who wants to share in the good fortune, or do you want your family to let everyone share in the good fortune?"
Shi's mother loved to show off her son. She had forgotten her actions, but no one around her could forget them. Shi's mother was really good at talking, letting everyone in the neighborhood know that Shi Nan had been admitted to university.
"When your son went to work at the Development Zone Investment Promotion Office, you told everyone about it," Aunt Zhao said. "Oh, by the way, your son doesn't work there now. He's in business now, and he's making so much money. Have you ever thought about buying you two a house and letting you move in? Living in a building is better; it's less humid."
"That's because we don't want to go there. We have many acquaintances here and we can talk to them," said Shi's mother.
Shi's mother was in a bad mood but didn't show it. Shi Nan hadn't bought a house for Shi's parents, and Shi's mother was too embarrassed to ask him to buy them one, fearing that her son would be unhappy or that he wouldn't have enough money.
Shi Nan would give some money to Shi's parents, but it wasn't much. Shi's mother thought that other children would turn in their wages and let their parents manage them, but she didn't dare ask Shi Nan to turn in his wages. Shi Nan was now a businessman, making a lot of money and having a strong influence, so Shi's mother didn't dare to say anything more.
"Is it because he knows a lot of people here, or is it because your family's Shi Nan didn't buy you a house?" Aunt Zhao said, "It's okay that he doesn't let you live with his wife and children, but why doesn't he even buy you a house? Your son seems to have had a sterilization, right? He has two daughters now, and daughters don't have to spend much money. Daughters will get married in the future, so there's no need to pay a betrothal gift. But if he wants to buy wedding houses for his daughters, he will have to ask for some money. Isn't the house your son lives in bought by his wife's family?"
"Shi Nan used to be a little short on money, but now it's better," said Shi's mother. "If he got married now, he could buy his own house."
"If he hadn't married such a rich wife, how could he be making so much money now?" Aunt Zhao said, "No wonder you didn't let Shi Nan be with the girls from our street before. If he had been with the girls from our street, he wouldn't be where he is today."
Aunt Zhao didn't praise Shi's mother. What was there for Shi's mother to praise? Aunt Zhao dared to criticize Shi's mother directly. Not only Shi's mother, but some people in the neighborhood dared to criticize Shi's mother. Shi Nan was not that good to Shi's mother at all. Shi Nan did not even consult with her before doing something.
"Don't talk nonsense. Our Shi Nan relies on himself." Shi's mother said, "He graduated from university himself, he..."
"Whether he relies on his own strength or not, you know it in your hearts," Aunt Zhao said. "If he hadn't relied on his wife's family, would he have bowed so low in front of her? His wife told his mother-in-law not to let you go, and you refused to go? Are you such obedient people?"
Mother Shi was so angry that she didn't talk to Aunt Zhao and just left. Mother Shi felt wronged and she talked to her son, but he told her not to get involved in those things, saying that those things were not her business and that she would only make things worse.
A long time ago, Shi Nan would never speak to Shi's mother like this. Now Shi Nan's attitude towards Shi's mother is getting more and more impatient. Shi's mother can clearly feel that her son's attitude is not good. Shi's mother dare not say much to Shi Nan, she is afraid that the relationship between mother and son will collapse.
Shi's mother was unable to reflect on herself. She only thought that it was the Pan family's fault that Shi Nan became like this.
Jiang Moli is now about 31 years old, still very young, and she is still very popular. Jiang Moli is well treated at work, and her leaders and others respect her very much. Jiang Moli likes this kind of life very much, and occasionally shoots TV series and movies. This life is still very comfortable.
Jiang Moli returned home from work. During dinner, her mother told her that Zhao Jiaojiao had been admitted to Nancheng University of Communication.
"This is a good thing." Jiang Moli said, "I have to prepare a red envelope for Jiaojiao."
"As her aunt, you should prepare a red envelope for her," Jiang's mother said. "This red envelope for her college entrance exam is a big deal, so the amount can't be small."
People in this area are very particular about giving red envelopes for weddings and for promotions. Promotion red envelopes are considered a big deal, unlike simple celebrations like a full month or a first birthday, where you can give less. For promotions, such as from primary school to junior high school or vice versa, no one usually holds a wedding banquet. Wedding banquets are usually held when someone is promoted to university.
"Are they going to have a wedding?" Jiang Moli asked.
"Why have a banquet? We don't have many relatives here," Jiang's mother said. "Your uncle and his family live far away, so we won't invite them. If we really want to have a banquet, we can just invite a few people in South City and forget about the Zhao family."
"That's right." Jiang Moli said, "My uncles...are my eldest uncle okay now?"
"Her health isn't as good as it used to be," Jiang's mother said. "Your cousin lives in a rented house and has to work two jobs. They're divorced, and her relatives haven't asked her to pay them back. But they're also not happy to see her. They treat her like they don't even have a relative."
"We can't blame all the relatives for this. My cousin was also wrong at the beginning." Jiang Moli said. We can't ignore her cousin's mistakes just because we say that her cousin is also a victim.
Luo Dahai felt that the Lu family's relatives looked down on him by not investing. He was leading everyone to make money, yet they were looked down upon. He told Lu Min, and Lu Min told Uncle Lu. Lu Min and Luo Dahai also used words to pressure Uncle Lu to talk to the Lu family. If Lu Min had told Luo Da not to let the Lu family invest, and that the Lu family didn't make this money, things would have been better. However, Lu Min insisted that Luo Dahai was capable and insisted that the Lu family invest with him.
Lu Min dug the hole herself, and now she is standing in it, she has to bear the consequences.
"Working two jobs is not bad," Jiang Moli said. "I can still make ends meet."
"That's what I mean," Jiang's mother said. "She has to rent a house and raise the children herself. Your uncle's health is not good again, so she has to take care of him more often. Your uncle is like that... your aunt and her family are a little bit blaming her."
"There's nothing we can do about this." Jiang Moli said, "If it were me, I'd blame her too. If it were her ex-husband, I'd also blame her."
"Strange, strange, strange." Jiang's mother said, "How can I not be strange?"
Jiang's mother sighed, "Jiaojiao's education isn't a very important matter, so there's no need to have them come. The travel expenses are quite high, and your brother can't possibly pay for them. It's better not to invite them over for a drink."
Zhao Guodong and his wife weren't as wealthy as Jiang Moli and her husband, so they couldn't possibly pay for everything. Travel expenses and other things would cost a lot of money, as well as hotel accommodation. If the distance was too far, forget it and don't make any arrangements.
"If we don't invite them, they probably won't say anything." Jiang Moli said, "It's not bad to give one less red envelope."
If the distance is short, then they will be willing to pay for the ride. But if the distance is too far, then they will not be so willing.
So many things happened in the Lu family, and Uncle Lu's family suffered the most. They owed money to others and had to pay it back. Uncle Lu's family and his people had a bad relationship with Uncle Lu. They used to have a good relationship, but after the investment scam, they had less contact with each other.
Jiang's mother couldn't possibly play peacemaker. It wasn't her who was scammed, so it wasn't her place to say things like that, asking people not to dwell on them. Everyone had worked so hard to save up some money, which they could have used for other things, but when they were scammed, they naturally had to dwell on it.
"Your uncle and his family are having a hard time right now," Jiang's mother said. "If you can minimize the amount they have to pay, do it. Don't let them spend too much. They still haven't recovered from being scammed out of so much money. They saved for years to earn that."
"It's not easy." Jiang Moli said, "I can only continue to save money and let my uncle and the others stop worrying about it."
"Your second aunt also said that you and Jiahao didn't ask them to invest. If you made money on your own, then you made money. It's not that you don't help them make money, but they were cheated and thought of this." Jiang's mother sighed, "If you really made money, you wouldn't have to ask them for help, because you really don't need money."
Second Aunt Lu has now come to her senses. She refuses to invest when asked to, and even bank deposits require careful scrutiny, fearing she'll be ripped off. Second Aunt Lu doesn't have much money, and her children still think it's her fault, so they've become somewhat distant from her. This makes Second Aunt Lu feel even worse. When she spoke to Mother Jiang about those things, all she could do was offer some comfort.
It had already happened, and Jiang's mother had no way to prevent it. Aunt Lu and the others had invested so much money, but Jiang's mother only found out about it later. If Jiang's mother had known about it earlier, she would have definitely said something.
Sheng Jiahao had no objection to giving Zhao Jiaojiao a red envelope. It was okay to give a little more.
And the little baby was yelling, "I want to go to college, I want to go to college."
"Yes, you have to take the college entrance exam and go to college in the future." Jiang Moli chuckled.
The family of three was walking in the yard. Jiang Moli told Sheng Jiahao about Zhao Jiaojiao, but the baby was only concerned about college. The baby knew that adults liked their children to go to college, so he had to go to college too.
Jiang Moli herself is an opera singer, and she has sung a few lines in front of the baby, but the baby obviously doesn't like singing opera that much. Jiang Moli didn't force the baby to sing opera with her. It's really hard to say whether someone likes opera or not.
If the baby likes it, sing a few lines; if not, don’t sing.
Singing opera is not an easy job, and physical training must begin at a very young age. Children who are too young should not exercise casually, as bending down can easily cause problems and lead to paralysis.
"It's great to go to college," said the baby. "Everyone is happy."
"Yes, everyone is happy." Jiang Moli nodded.
Sheng Jiahao looked at Jiang Moli. Jiang Moli did not go to college. "Do you have any regrets?"
"What regrets? Regrets for not going to college?" Jiang Moli asked. She had already gone to college in her previous life, but she didn't go to college in this life. Jiang Moli was studying opera singing. If she didn't plan to develop a long-term career in opera, she would definitely go to college. "If I want to go to college, I can still take the exam."
Jiang Moli attended Nancheng Art School, which was equivalent to high school. She could take the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination) and register for the adult Gaokao. Jiang Moli thought she might take the exam in the future, or she might not. Jiang Moli was very busy right now and hadn't yet considered whether to take the Gaokao to go to university.
Jiang Moli has made great achievements in opera and can definitely become a teacher in related colleges. If Jiang Moli goes to college, she will take courses in other majors. If she still studies opera, the teachers in the school may not be able to teach Jiang Moli.
"It's not like there's only one path to take," Jiang Moli said. "I've never regretted choosing to attend Nancheng Arts College. When it comes to Yue Opera, our school is top-notch."
Jiang Moli understood what she was doing. She set a goal, which was to keep working towards it instead of thinking about giving up halfway.
"Mom, I'm going to college." The baby said, "Mom, come with me."
"Will you take your mother to your university?" Jiang Moli asked.
"Yes." The baby nodded vigorously, "Take mommy with you."
"Okay, then you have to work harder." Jiang Moli said, "You have to study hard so that you can get into a good university. If you don't get into a good university, Mom won't go with you."
"It must be a good university, a very, very good university." The baby said, "Mom, I will work hard."
The baby clenched his little fists, he must take his mother to college.
"It's up to our baby." Jiang Moli chuckled and reached out to gently pinch her son's face. Her baby was so cute.
"Mom, the baby is your baby, and you are the baby's mother. Both the baby and you will be very powerful." said the little baby.
"Where is Dad?" Sheng Jiahao asked.
"The baby comes out of the mother's belly." The baby said, "It comes out of the father's belly, not the father's belly. Doesn't the baby come out of the father's child?"
"..." Jiang Moli didn't expect the baby to ask such a question.
"Of course the baby is the father's child." Sheng Jiahao said, "Why do you say that?"
"Other kids said that," the little baby said, "that the baby might not be Dad's child, not me, but another baby."
Children have wild imaginations. They even think that they may not be their parents' children, and that their parents may be someone else.
"You are your father's child, absolutely true. Look how much you look like your father." Jiang Moli said.
"No." The baby frowned.
"Hmm?" Jiang Moli asked in confusion.
"The baby should look like mommy, just like mommy." said the little baby.
Jiang Moli looked at Sheng Jiahao. The baby did look more like Sheng Jiahao. Teacher Lu also took out a photo of Sheng Jiahao when he was a child. The baby also looked very similar to Sheng Jiahao when he was a child.
"Okay, you look like your mother." Sheng Jiahao said, "Then you have to work hard to look more like your mother. If you want to look like your father, there's nothing your father can do."
Sheng Jiahao shrugged. He thought that whether the baby looked like him or his wife, it didn't matter. Sheng Jiahao couldn't possibly doubt that the baby wasn't his own child. The baby was his biological son. There was no way he could be wrong about that.
"Baby, don't listen to nonsense. You are your parents' child." Sheng Jiahao said, "If you were not your father's child, your father would have thrown you away long ago and let your mother give birth to a sister for you."
"Humph." The baby pouted, "Daddy, you just like your sister and not your brother."
"Having a devil like you is enough for me." Sheng Jiahao said with a smile. He picked up the baby and lifted the baby higher. The baby giggled over there.
Zhao Guodong and his wife did not plan to invite many people to Zhao Jiaojiao's graduation banquet, but they still had to invite Niu Cuihua's brothers. Niu's eldest brother and his wife were in the south city, and Niu's second brother and his wife, as well as Niu Jingshan and his wife, were all in the countryside. Niu Cuihua got a headache when she thought of Niu Jingshan and his wife.
"I'm not as diligent as my second brother and his wife. They have borrowed money from my eldest brother several times." Niu Cuihua said.
