Qin Wei's instep is probably swollen right now. Who is this woman? How can she be so strong?
The two disliked each other so much that neither wanted to talk to the other anymore.
Shang Ning has only been back for three days, so there are still some things she needs to take care of. She was too busy with experiments to visit Xiao Xingren before, but it seems she's still quite active on Weibo.
What should we do with this kind of child?
Simple: Tell her mother.
Xiao Xingren's parents were ordinary wage earners, and Shang Ning made an appointment with her mother.
The agreed meeting place was in a coffee shop on the first floor of a large shopping mall.
Xiao Xingren's mother looked to be around forty years old, dressed in a neat suit, and had probably just come from work.
"I'm sorry I'm late." Little Almond's mother was a very easy-going person.
Shang Ning pushed the coffee over, saying, "I'm sorry for taking up your time."
Shang Ning told Xiao Xingren's mother about the two previous incidents without hiding anything or exaggerating.
After saying that, Xiaoxing's mother was quiet for a while before speaking, "That child doesn't listen to us at all. She doesn't listen to our lectures and just plays on her phone all day long. What people on the internet say is more effective than what we say."
Listening to Xiao Xingren's mother's helpless words, Shang Ning gently tapped her finger, "Auntie, educating children is the responsibility of parents, not the internet. What can I do if they don't listen to my lectures? It may seem helpless, but it's just an excuse to shirk the responsibilities of being a parent."
Little Almond's mother frowned. "Miss Ning doesn't have children, how could she understand this feeling?"
“But everyone was once a child,” Shang Ning said with a smile. “Both parents and children are playing this role for the first time. Since everyone is learning, why give up just because it’s troublesome? If one way of teaching doesn’t work, why choose to give up instead of looking for another way? Do you think what you’re giving up is trouble? It’s your child’s future.”
“Everything is easier said than done, Ms. Ning. You’re not a parent, so it’s really hard for you to understand our predicament. We also want to raise our child well, but we have to work, we have to earn money to support her, we don’t have that much time.” Xiao Xingren’s mother sighed again, “I’m so sorry for the trouble my daughter has caused you, I’m really sorry.”
Shang Ning does not deny this issue; everyone needs to eat, and every family has a responsibility to each member.
Not far away, Lin Tingyu had originally accompanied Lian Jingyan shopping, but Lian Jingyan had been standing there for a while, especially looking at Ning Kong over there.
“It is indeed a problem. What do you think?” Lian Jingyan asked with a smile.
Lin Tingyu linked arms with Lian Jingyan, "There's nothing we can do about it; life always costs money."
Lian Jingyan smiled but didn't say anything.
Lin Tingyu bit her lip slightly, unsure whether Lian Jingyan was satisfied with her answer or not.
"Auntie, I'd like to ask you a question. What is your purpose in making money?"
"Of course, it's for the children."
"For the sake of their material life, you hastily abandon their spiritual world. Auntie, a child's values are cultivated by their parents, not by the internet," Shang Ning said softly. "Society advocates not suppressing children's nature and letting them grow freely. So many parents have this feeling that if they can't control their children, they should just let them grow up without any guidance. Isn't that what everyone is advocating?"
This idea, upon closer examination, is more than terrifying, yet that is not its true intention.
