My heart, which had warmed up because of the change in Mr. and Mrs. Jiang's attitude, suddenly turned cold.
Jiang Jiang knew that Jiang's father was looking for an excuse to give up his grandmother and mother, but what about her? Did Jiang's father consider her feelings? He couldn't trample on her self-esteem just because she was young, right?
"Aren't you three the ones who should apologize?"
Jiang Jiang curled the corners of his mouth, and his eyes scanned the three people in front of him, and finally returned to Jiang's father.
"What?"
Father Jiang didn't quite understand.
"I say, it's you three who should apologize to me."
Jiang Jiang said in a cold voice.
Father Jiang was stunned, then his face showed anger, "We three apologize to you? Your family provides you with food and drink, how can we be sorry for you?"
"If I hadn't asked, I would have had to eat buns for a month. They gave me 300 yuan and didn't even apologize. Have you really never thought about giving your partner food money? Or are you unwilling to give it?"
"My grandma has always disliked me. She has insulted and scolded me so many times. Why doesn't she apologize to me?"
Jiang Jiang's voice was not angry, and was even a little soft, so Jiang's father had to listen carefully to hear it clearly.
"So the whole family owes you! Is this all you learned in school? You don't respect your elders. Make them apologize to you!"
Father Jiang was furious, raising his hand high, as if he was going to hit Jiang Jiang. Like Grandma Jiang, he was used to being a superior parent, and couldn't stand Jiang Jiang talking back to her.
Jiang Jiang did not avoid him. She looked at Jiang's father with cold eyes, her heart had already broken into pieces.
So what if she had good grades? In Jiang's father's mind, she was just a child who could be easily insulted. They never treated her as an equal.
Looking at Jiang Jiang's cold and calm eyes, Jiang's father was furious again, but he couldn't bring himself to slap him.
Although he didn't want to admit it, some of what Jiang Jiang said was actually right.
"I told you, if this girl isn't taught well, she'll really go to hell!" Upon seeing this, Grandma Jiang immediately added fuel to the fire. She wished that Father Jiang could slap her in the face. Only by doing so could she calm down her anger!
But Jiang's father didn't slap him in the end.
Jiang Jiang had become terribly thin recently, with sunken cheeks and enlarged eyes. Jiang's father thought that if he slapped him, Jiang Jiang's frail body might not be able to withstand it.
He thought about when Jiang Jiang was just born. He loved his daughter so much at that time and wanted her to live a happy life like a little princess in the future.
Since when did this daughter start to mean less and less in his heart, and even became a clerk who came at his beck and call and left at his will?
In the past, Jiang Jiang looked at her with admiration, but now, he seemed like a stranger.
Did he really do something wrong? Father Jiang couldn't help but think.
No, he is the parent, he cannot be wrong. The one who is wrong is Jiang Jiang, he just didn't educate his child well.
Father Jiang made an excuse for himself.
"Go back to me!" Jiang's father scolded.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiang walked away without looking back.
Grandma Jiang was immediately unhappy. "Why don't you teach this girl a lesson? What's the point of you being a father? Let your daughter ride on your head and her breasts?"
"Mom, the store hasn't closed yet. Do you really want to make a fool of yourself in front of others?" said Jiang's father.
Just now when Grandma Jiang and Mother Jiang were arguing, some people came over to watch the fun.
Grandma Jiang didn't care about that. "Okay, anyone in the family can ride on my head anyway. I'm old, everyone will despise me! Okay, I'll go to your sister's house tomorrow. Your sister's house is much better than yours. Your brother-in-law is a scholar and respects me. Your nephew is also good to me. Anyway, it's much better than yours!"
Grandma Jiang was about to wipe away her tears as she said this. "What's the point of me raising a son?"
Father Jiang had a headache for a while, but before he could say anything, Mother Jiang spoke up, "Your daughter treats you the best, so go to her house! When the time comes, don't say that we drove you out, and don't expect your two grandchildren to call you grandma in the future!"
Mother Jiang hated it most when Grandma Jiang compared their family with Aunt Jiang's.
Mother Jiang and Grandma Jiang were still arguing, and the sound became quieter as Jiang Jiang walked further away.
She walked quickly into the community, then stood still in the dark community and looked up at the sky.
Last time she saw a shooting star, she made a wish, hoping that her family would love her more.
But now, she wants to change her wish. She hopes she can love herself more and become stronger.
After returning home, Jiang Jiang took a shower to wash away all his thoughts, then went back to the room to continue reading.
The atmosphere at home became particularly strange over the weekend. After all, Grandma Jiang was just speaking in anger and did not go to Aunt Jiang's house, but she was still holding a grudge in her heart.
Father Jiang has been in a difficult situation these past two days. The old ones are angry with him, and the young ones ignore him.
On Monday, Jiang Jiang went to school early in the morning. She actually liked staying at school more than at home.
During the morning break, Jiang Jiang went to find Li Xiaoxuan and brought her to the laboratory building where they had talked before.
Before Jiang Jiang could say anything, Li Xiaoxuan spoke first, "I just want to tell you something. I can't tutor you anymore. I have to take a nap at home at noon."
Li Xiaoxuan lowered her head slightly, and it could be heard that she was not in a good mood.
"Yeah." Jiang Jiang nodded in understanding.
"If you have anything to say, please say it quickly. I still have to go to class to read."
"Okay." Jiang Jiang responded, and then said, "Why did you tell your grandma that I got full marks in math by cheating?"
Li Xiaoxuan raised her head, her eyes slightly widened, she glanced at Jiang Jiang, and then quickly looked to the right.
"What cheating? I didn't say that."
"Your grandma told my grandma, and you said it was you who said it yourself." Jiang Jiang said coldly.
Li Xiaoxuan pursed her lips and admitted bluntly, "Yes, I said it. I tutored you, but I didn't do as well as you in the final exam. How will my family look at me?"
At the end, Li Xiaoxuan's voice became louder. In her heart, she was actually a little jealous of Jiang Jiang's good grades. How could Jiang Jiang, such a poor student, pass her in the exam after just a few days of hard work?
"So you can say I cheated? I'm grateful that you helped me with my tutoring, but how can you slander me?" Jiang Jiang couldn't understand. Aren't the grades she worked hard to get worthy of respect?
"You don't even consider me a friend."
Li Xiaoxuan was Jiang Jiang's only friend. Jiang Jiang cherished the fact that such an outstanding person was his friend.
Li Xiaoxuan looked aside without saying anything.
"I know you don't really want to tutor me, you just want to sit closer to Lu Yuan. You like Lu Yuan, right?"
Jiang Jiang suddenly said in a deep voice.
Li Xiaoxuan quickly turned around to look at her, her face flushed, "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't!"
Jiang Jiang didn't say anything, but looked at her calmly, as if to say, I know everything.
Li Xiaoxuan gritted her teeth and said, "You'd better not talk nonsense! If you talk nonsense, I..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell."
Li Xiaoxuan glared at her fiercely, then turned and left.
When Li Xiaoxuan could no longer be seen, Jiang Jiang let out a breath, then squatted down and hugged his legs with his arms.
In fact, she had noticed Li Xiaoxuan's intentions from the beginning. Li Xiaoxuan usually didn't even say hello to her when she saw her, so how could she take the initiative to help her with her studies?
During tutoring, Li Xiaoxuan looked at Lu Yuan frequently, which made Jiang Jiang even more certain.
But even so, Jiang Jiang still cherishes this only friend. However, a forced melon is not sweet, and Li Xiaoxuan does not regard her as a friend at all.
"Am I terrible?"
Jiang Jiang said to himself.
——You are excellent, host.
"Really?"
——Really, believe in yourself.
"good."
At noon, Jiang Jiang did not go to the cafeteria to eat. He bought two loaves of bread and a bag of biscuits in the canteen and returned to the classroom. He had one loaf of bread at noon and one at night, and saved the biscuits for when he was hungry in the afternoon or evening.
The food in the cafeteria was not cheap, and three hundred yuan might not be enough for her. She didn't know if Jiang's father and mother would give her more money, so she had to save some money.
It would be great if she could make money, Jiang Jiang couldn't help thinking.
When Jiang Jiang arrived at the classroom, Lu Yuan was already eating, and the aroma of food filled the classroom.
The two have a pretty good relationship now and greet each other every day. Sometimes when Lu Yuan encounters a very difficult question, he will discuss it with Jiang Jiang.
After Lu Yuan finished eating, several students came to the class. Influenced by Jiang Jiang, many people came to the classroom to study at noon during this period. There were only a few days left before the high school entrance examination, and everyone wanted to give it a try.
It was almost one o'clock when Lu Yuan suddenly turned around and asked, "Isn't Li Xiaoxuan coming to tutor you today?"
Jiang Jiang pursed his lips and frowned, "No, I won't come again in the future."
"What's wrong? Did you have a fight?" Sensing that Jiang Jiang was in a bad mood, Lu Yuan asked carefully.
"No, her family doesn't agree to her tutoring me because they're afraid that I'll hinder her studies."
Lu Yuan frowned when he heard this. So Li Xiaoxuan's family didn't know that Li Xiaoxuan was tutoring Jiang Jiang?
He suddenly felt sorry. "I'm sorry, I didn't know her family didn't know about this, so it seems that I was the one who revealed it to her family."
He was the top student in his grade and many parents knew him. Some even came over to chat with him during parent-teacher meetings, including Li Xiaoxuan's mother.
At the parents' meeting last week, Li Xiaoxuan's mother came early. When she saw him, she asked about Li Xiaoxuan's situation at school at noon. Lu Yuan then mentioned that Li Xiaoxuan was tutoring Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang looked up and bit his lip, "It's okay."
Anyway, Li Xiaoxuan didn't really want to help her with her studies.
"Continue reading." Afraid that Lu Yuan would blame himself, Jiang Jiang smiled at him.
But Lu Yuan still felt a little guilty.
"How about I help you with your studies? I have plenty of time at noon anyway."
Jiang Jiang reflexively wanted to refuse, but the words of refusal circled in her mouth and were swallowed back by her.
"Wouldn't that bother you?"
"It's okay. You know I spend my lunch time reading comics."
"good."
Jiang Jiang nodded.
Having someone to help her with her studies really makes things more efficient, so she is still very grateful to Li Xiaoxuan for her help some time ago.
in addition……
Li Xiaoxuan came to class after lunch break and heard from her desk mate that Lu Yuan gave Jiang Jiang tutoring at noon.
