Chapter 98: Celebrating Niuniu's Birthday
"Is your father looking for a mistress again?"
Although she was surprised, Chen Baomei didn't find it strange.
There are only zero times and countless times when a man cheats.
When Jiang Tianming was with Chen Ru, he could cheat on Shu Yunyun. Now that he is with Shu Yunyun, he can naturally cheat on other women.
Men like this do not have a strong sense of morality and responsibility. It is simply wishful thinking to expect them to be loyal to a woman.
Jiang Qiqi corrected Chen Baomei's statement, "It's not the mistress, it's the fourth and fifth mistress. The mistress was discovered by Shu Yunyun last year and she made a scene, so my dad broke up with her."
Shu Yunyun never avoids her family members when she quarrels with Jiang Tianming. As long as she gets angry, she will find Jiang Tianming to quarrel with her anytime and anywhere.
Last year, Jiang Tianming and a woman were trapped in bed by Shu Yunyun. Shu Yunyun made a big fuss. It happened that Mrs. Jiang was in poor health, and Jiang Tianming was still counting on Shu Yunyun to go to the hospital to take care of his mother. He didn't dare to do anything too extreme, so he broke up with her.
He had been well-behaved for a few months, but not long ago Shu Yunyun found out that he was having an affair, and they had a big fight.
Jiang Tianming didn't know how he coaxed the person, but he soon calmed him down.
However, just this morning, Shu Yunyun discovered that Jiang Tianming not only had a mistress, but also a mistress!
Shu Yunyun felt that she was deceived by Jiang Tianming. She was extremely angry and started to quarrel with Jiang Tianming.
Later, the situation became more and more violent, escalating to physical violence and even knife use.
Chen Baomei clicked her tongue.
How does the saying go? Green people will always be green.
Shu Yunyun disregarded human ethics and hurt Chen Ru, and she was destined to be hurt in the same way by another woman.
"My dad's business is down, and his temper has gotten worse. They argue all the time. They argue even when he's home, and when he's not, she calls and argues with him. It's so bad that I don't even want to go home."
Jiang Qiqi complained.
"If you don't want to go home, you can come to my place, or your mom's. Besides, you'll be eighteen next year and almost an adult. Your dad can't control you, so you can go wherever you want."
Jiang Tianming and Shu Yunyun had such a big fight that they even had to use surgery. Chen Baomei was really afraid of accidentally hurting the child.
It’s better to stay away from it.
"If your dad asks, just say you need a quiet environment to study. Your dad values your studies, and he won't make things difficult for you."
Jiang Tianming is a scumbag, but he has deep feelings for his daughter Jiang Qiqi.
In addition, Jiang Qiqi has always been an outstanding student like other people's children, and has earned a lot of face for Jiang Tianming outside, so he is more tolerant of Jiang Qiqi.
"Well, next weekend off, I'm going to go to my mom's."
"Your mom is busiest on weekends, so you can come to my place. My place is spacious, so you can come and keep Niuniu company. Niuniu can even ask you questions if she has any questions about her studies."
Chen Baomei didn't read much, and after so many years, there were many things that Niu Niu was learning that Chen Baomei didn't know.
Jiang Qiqi has been to her grandmother's new home. The detached villa is very quiet and private. Unlike high-rise buildings, people talking loudly upstairs can be heard downstairs. It is very suitable for her to study with peace of mind.
Jiang Qiqi also particularly likes the big garden in Chen Baomei's house. At this time, sitting under the big tree in the garden and reading and resting is the most leisurely and comfortable thing.
So Jiang Qiqi happily agreed.
"Okay, if Niuniu has any questions, you can ask me."
Niuniu giggled, "Sister, please don't think I'm stupid when the time comes."
"Is your sister that kind of person?"
The two cousins were of similar age and had good personalities, so Chen Baomei wasn't worried at all that they wouldn't get along.
"If you can really tutor Niuniu, grandma will pay you a salary, just like your mom does when she tutors people outside, and give you tuition."
Jiang Qiqi will not be polite to Chen Baomei.
She has good grades and has a little bit of arrogance that only comes from a top student.
She is already in high school, so she can easily tutor junior high school students, let alone tutor Niu Niu, an elementary school student.
She is confident that she can do the job.
"Really? Grandma, you are not kidding me, right?"
"Grandma, why would I joke with you? If you don't believe me, just set up a class schedule for Niuniu. It will be the same as the one your mom works for. I'll pay you in advance."
"That won't work. Wait until I finish tutoring Niuniu and her grades improve before rewarding me."
Chen Baomei said cheerfully, "It's up to you."
Her original intention was to give Jiang Qiqi a quiet place to go on the weekends, away from being disturbed by family matters. If she could also keep Niuniu company and provide her with some tutoring, that would be even better.
Because there was one more person, Jiang Qiqi, and there might not be enough food, Chen Baomei went to the delicatessen to buy roast duck and braised beef.
After getting in the car, Jiang Qiqi saw the cake and realized that today was Niu Niu's birthday.
She didn't prepare any gifts, so while Chen Baomei and Niu Niu were waiting at the door of the delicatessen, she went to a small stationery store nearby and bought a set of 48-color watercolor pens for Niu Niu.
Chen Baomei cooked some delicious dishes, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat down to celebrate Niu Niu's birthday.
This is Niu Niu’s twelfth birthday, and Chen Baomei counted out twelve candles.
Jiang Qiqi put a birthday hat on Niu Niu with a smile, lit the candles one by one, and Chen Baomei and Jiang Qiqi sang a birthday song for Niu Niu.
Facing the flickering candlelight, Niu Niu's bright big eyes were filled with tears.
She never thought that she would have such a happy day.
Ever since she was little, she felt like she was soaked in bitter water.
There was endless work to do and endless scolding every day, and the adoptive parents' sticks and fists appeared almost every day.
After being recognized, she lived with her biological parents. Although her life was much better, she always felt like a dependent.
Only when she lived with her grandmother did she feel like she had a real home.
She had never dared to imagine such a happy and joyful day before.
At the cheerful urging of Chen Baomei and Jiang Qiqi, Niu Niu closed her eyes, made a wish, and blew out the candles.
Chen Baomei took out a red envelope and handed it to Niuniu. "This is grandma's birthday present. Buy whatever you like. Grandma won't bother choosing."
Chen Baomei gave her a birthday red envelope of 2,000 yuan.
Chen Baomei gave Niuniu such a big red envelope because she knew that she would not spend money indiscriminately.
Niuniu took it with a sour nose, "Thank you, grandma."
Not only did she order a cake for her, but she also cooked a large table of dishes to celebrate, and grandma said it was not a big deal.
It turns out that those who truly love you will never care about showing off their efforts.
Jiang Qiqi took out the watercolor pen she bought at the right time and said, "It's my sister's gift. I prepared it in a hurry. Please don't dislike it."
Niuniu took it with a smile, "I like it very much. My watercolor pen is almost out of ink. It's just right. Now I don't have to go out and buy more."
It was a simple birthday for Niu Niu, but she was deeply touched.
After dinner, the child was asked to go to rest, but she still rushed to clear the table and wash the dishes as usual.
Chen Baomei couldn't persuade her and Jiang Qiqi, so she just let them do what they wanted.
The next day, after the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren had breakfast, Jiang Qiqi took Niuniu to do homework, while Chen Baomei changed her clothes and went to the community square to practice Tai Chi with a few old ladies.
In the middle of the call, Jiang Qiqi called and said that her book was left at home and her father Jiang Tianming had brought it to her. She asked Chen Baomei if she could let anyone in.
