Chapter 326: Bully at Home
"Mom, don't you also think that it doesn't make sense?" San Ya said righteously.
Lu Qi Niang: "Well, well, you're old enough now, so you should be picky about what you say. Sometimes, people have to pretend. For example, do you think the newborn baby is cute?"
"It doesn't look good." San Ya expressed her disgust.
"You were ugly when you were little." Erya immediately laughed at her. "When we picked you up, Ah Huang was biting your swaddling clothes at the door. I still remember it clearly. I told my mother that some monkeys had come down the mountain to look for food."
"Nonsense." San Ya said angrily, "You are just jealous that I have been with my mother since I was born."
"Stop arguing." Lu Qi's mother had a headache. "What are you two doing? I'm trying to reason with San Ya. Even if the baby is just newborn, you still have to compliment it against your conscience, no matter how ugly it is. Just know in your heart that it's not good-looking, that's all."
"It's the same with studying. If you think it doesn't make sense, just know it in your heart, don't shout it out loud."
Having said that, Lu Qiniang couldn't help but grumble in her heart.
This school must have made my daughter stupid.
But you can't learn these things that make you lose your mind.
Before going to bed at night, Lu Qiniang discussed this matter with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan said, "Those things sound uncomfortable. But you're right. One has to learn to play along with the situation."
You have to learn some polite words.
The real way to survive is not to be bound by rules, but to make rational use of rules to give yourself greater freedom.
"But Jiaojiao is young now and easily misled. We just need to remind her from time to time."
Xiao Yan felt that Lu Qiniang was a little anxious about her daughter going to school, so he tried to comfort her.
"Well, I have to ask her often." Lu Qiniang said, "I also have to remind her to stay away from Song Chenghuan. She takes after her mother and has a rather overbearing personality."
What if she doesn't learn her lesson and learns how to poison people from her mother?
Zhang Heyao, the stepfather, is no good either. Lu Qin's mother doesn't believe that he didn't notice that the child has grown up crooked.
Since I was a child, he would scold me for anything I did wrong.
Why don’t you scold Song Chenghuan anymore?
But on second thought, it's hard to live off someone and it's hard to be a stepfather. It's what he deserves!
On the other hand, Song Chenghuan suffered a loss outside and then went back home to act arrogantly.
"Mom, I don't care, I don't care, you have to help me vent my anger."
When Zhang Heyao returned home and heard this, he looked at her with disgust and immediately turned around and walked away from the mother and daughter, just like he had done before.
As a result, the next moment, he stopped.
Because he heard Song Chenghuan crying, "Xiao Jiaojiao is too much!"
Xiao Jiaojiao?
It's not that he is suspicious, but he knows the names of Lu Qiniang's three daughters.
He had previously checked the origins of the three girls, especially Jiaojiao. Judging from her age, it was possible that she was born to Lu Qi's mother.
Therefore, he was particularly impressed by the name Jiaojiao.
And most importantly, when he checked, Jiaojiao's name was Zhang Jiaojiao.
Now, even the last name has been changed?
Zhang Heyao took a deep breath.
For many things, even if you know the truth in your heart, it is difficult to face the reality.
Lu Qinniang was just such an existence to him.
He knew that he had lost her forever.
But there is always a place in my heart that is restless and full of some fantasies and expectations.
But the change of his surname seemed like a knife in his heart.
"Her parents are just commoners. Your father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and your mother is a princess. You always lose to her. How can you have the nerve to come back and cry?" There was some impatience in Song Mingzhen's voice.
She has never been a patient person.
"You're a princess, are you any use? Have you ever helped me?" Song Chenghuan cried, "You only blame me like outsiders. I was wronged in school, and you don't care about me at all!"
"Then tell me, how do you want me to care about you?" Song Mingzhen suppressed his anger, softened his tone, and said earnestly, "Chenghuan, you have to remember, this is not the northwest anymore, not a place where your grandfather can have the final say. This is the capital! You can't be so willful. You have to make friends well. Even if you don't like someone, you can't let others know."
"Don't even mention that you never gain any advantage every time you target others. Even if you do gain an advantage, you'll still suffer a loss in public. Think about it, would you want to be friends with someone who always quarrels and finds fault with others? Others won't say anything to your face, but behind your back they'll always say you're arrogant. Cheng Huan, a girl's reputation is very important."
"I want to go back to the northwest. I don't want to be in the capital. Why did you have to come to the capital!" Song Chenghuan roared, "I want to go back to find my grandfather and uncle. They both love me."
"Why should I come to the capital? Do you want to stay in the desolate northwest for the rest of your life?" Song Mingzhen was furious. "Haven't you noticed that the way your aunts look at us has changed?"
For the proud and arrogant Song Mingzhen, it is hard to accept the changes in the way her brother and sister-in-law look at her after she has been at her mother's house for so long.
She was leaving the northwest and coming to the most prosperous Kyoto.
She wanted to be the boss and wait for the day when her sisters-in-law would come to her for help.
——Now, they did that.
They wanted their daughter to marry in the capital, so they had to ask her for help.
They are all descendants of officials. Now that Zhang Heyao has become successful, they are trying to help their families establish a relationship with Zhang Heyao.
Of the same rank, officials from Beijing are always looked up to more highly than local officials.
What's more, Zhang Heyao has risen rapidly and is highly regarded by the emperor. Who wouldn't be jealous and who wouldn't want to make friends with him?
"Cheng Huan," Song Mingzhen said, "You're already nine years old. In two or three years, you can discuss marriage. To be honest, even now, some people have proposed to me, but I've always rejected them. Your father has a bright future. If you have a good reputation, you won't have to worry about marrying into a good family in the future."
"Do I have to put myself in a difficult position just to get married? Mother, you have no idea how despicable Xiao Jiaojiao is. She deliberately teamed up with others to isolate me!"
"She's a daughter of an ordinary citizen, and she was able to enter the academy thanks to Jiang Yi's connections, yet she's able to win people's hearts. Cheng Huan, you should learn this. You can't just indulge your temper. You have to learn how to win people's hearts. You have to be tough at heart, sweet at words, and considerate when dealing with people..."
Song Mingzhen tried to persuade his daughter earnestly, but she didn't hear a word and finally ran out with her ears covered.
Song Chenghuan almost bumped into Zhang Heyao.
When he saw clearly that it was him, Song Chenghuan stomped his feet fiercely, without even a greeting, and rushed out.
Zhang Heyao then walked into the room.
Song Mingzhen asked Shuyu to help him change his clothes. He lay on the couch, holding his head with his hands, saying that he had a headache because of his daughter.
Zhang Heyao asked calmly, "Who is so arrogant and domineering as to make Cheng Huan so angry?"
"It's Lu Qiniang's third daughter." Song Mingzhen said, "If it were someone else, I might go and have a good talk. It would be fine if it was just a small quarrel, but don't make it this big. But as for Lu Qiniang—why don't you go and talk to her, my husband?"
