Chapter 367 Be good to your daughters Be good to your daughters, ...
Yao Zhizhi was speechless when she saw He Qiang coming over, and she wanted to laugh even more when she heard him ask to borrow money.
What kind of person is this? He used to act so arrogant and noble, but now he touches the child in front of her. Isn't that just for her to see? Look, although my child made a mistake, I have already beaten her, and this is not our business as parents.
A common tactic of incompetent parents.
They are incapable of guiding children onto the right path, incapable of meeting their reasonable and normal needs, and can only suppress their education and use corporal punishment.
They also have a harsh attitude towards their neighbors, as if everyone owes them something, and simply attribute other people's achievements to being born into a good family.
Anyone in Yicheng who is familiar with Yao Zhizhi would not say such words.
Everything she has now was achieved by herself.
When she didn't know her own life experience, she was already thinking about finding a job to realize her self-worth. She led her sisters in rebellion, she acted decisively to get herself a marriage in the city, she worked hard to study the manuscripts for the newspaper and successfully sent out her own manuscripts. In what way did she rely on her parents to get to where she is today?
I really can't stand people who belittle others just because they themselves are incompetent.
However, when Yao Zhizhi looked at He Qiang's right hand with a broken finger, and thought of his family of hungry children, she finally felt pity.
But she was a vengeful person and couldn't help so easily, so she made a request: "I can lend you the money, but you have to use your valuables as collateral."
"I don't have anything valuable at home." He Qiang's face was burning. No matter what, after asking around among the neighbors, only Yao Zhizhi was willing to give in. He still had to try his best to get her money. So he thought for a moment and said, "But I do have a few bottles and jars at home that look interesting. I don't know if they're worth much. How about I bring them over and show them to you?"
"Okay, go get it." Yao Zhizhi didn't have classes today, and the weather was cold, so she was too lazy to take the child out for a walk, so she just waited at home.
Soon, He Qiang brought over some bottles and cans in a red plastic bucket.
Because they are used frequently and placed in a place with heavy oil smoke in the kitchen, a thick layer of grease has accumulated on each bottle, and the original material and color cannot be seen.
There were containers for soy sauce, vinegar, salt and sugar, but since we weren't sure if Yao Zhizhi wanted them, nothing was poured out.
Yao Zhizhi took out a handkerchief in disgust, held a bottle in her hand, pulled out the wooden cork from the bottle mouth and took a look. Wow, it was porcelain. The one in her hand was filled with cooking wine, and the delicate white porcelain inside could barely be seen.
I don't know what it looks like after it's cleaned.
Forget it, just take it. She didn't expect anything good in the first place, but she just couldn't swallow this humiliation and didn't want to see a group of children starve to death.
She checked the other bottles and jars and found that except for two brass ones, the rest were made of porcelain.
Yao Zhizhi glanced at the treasure hunting function of the system and asked in her mind, "Why didn't you react? Are these things worthless?"
The system complained, "Host, I can't help it. These bottles and jars are too dirty for the treasure hunting system to detect. However, I still suggest you take them. Just in case, you can quickly clean them and see if they are in their original state. As long as they can be exposed to their original appearance, the treasure hunting system will react."
"Okay." Yao Zhizhi looked up at He Qiang. "As for the money, don't bother about whether to lend it to me or not. Just consider it a good deed from me. I'll buy those bottles and jars from you. Two brass ones, twenty yuan each, six porcelain ones, thirty yuan each. A total of two hundred and twenty yuan. Just write a receipt for this money, and don't ask me for these things in the future."
When He Qiang heard this, he was dumbfounded. He always knew that Yao Zhizhi was rich. After all, her whole family dressed very unusually. The leather shoes on her feet alone cost a lot of money.
I didn't expect that she would be willing to spend 220 yuan to buy these broken jars. It's really...
She is such a beautiful and kind person.
It's not his fault. He has always felt that this woman is showing off in the past two years. Every time the children go to her house to eat and come back, they always look unsatisfied. When it's time for dinner at home, the look of disgust and loneliness hurts his fragile self-esteem again and again.
So he was jealous, so he was resentful, so he felt unbalanced. He often slandered this woman behind her back, saying that she just had a military officer as her father, what was so great about that?
Now I think that they deserve such blessings.
Reincarnation is also a technical job. He is not as skilled as others, so he accepts it.
He hurried back to get a pen and paper and wrote down a receipt, fearing that Yao Zhizhi would go back on her word. He took the cash, counted it, and left.
Yao Zhizhi stopped him and said, "Go back and get a few more glass bottles so you can take your things away."
He Qiang didn't dare to come, fearing that she would go back on her word, so he sent Lu Fen over.
Lu Fen's face was burning, and she spoke carefully. Yao Zhizhi, however, acted as if nothing had happened. She simply warned, "It's very wrong for your husband to insult He Lan like that. It will cause indelible trauma to the child's heart. You are a mother, and no one else can persuade him on this matter. Only you can."
Lu Fen was pouring cooking wine. Hearing this, she nodded awkwardly: "I understand. I'll tell Qiangzi about it."
Yao Zhizhi was dissatisfied and said, "It's no use just talking. You are the child's mother. Don't worry about whether it's a boy or a girl. They are all your flesh and blood. Why treat them differently? As long as you risk your life to protect the child once, He Qiang will definitely not dare to do it again next time. He Lan will also remember your kindness. When he grows up and has a promising future, he will definitely be more filial than other children. Think about it, isn't that the truth?"
Lu Fen was silent and sighed silently.
Yao Zhizhi continued to persuade her, "You must be making excuses for yourself. He Qiang has a bad temper and is gay, so you can't beat him. But Lv Fen is unemployed now, and you are the financial supporter of the family. You have more say than him. It's already this time, and you still don't stand up to protect He Lan. Do you want to wait until He Lan resents and hates you before taking action? By then, it will be too late."
Lu Fen seemed to be touched. She stopped pouring the wine, bit her lip, and seemed to be considering how to answer.
Yao Zhizhi was too lazy to listen and continued, "You don't need to think of words to deal with me. Just remember one thing: in this world, the only one who can understand their mother the most is a daughter. A son will not have to bear the pain of childbirth in the future, but a daughter is different. As long as she will get married and have children, the moment she gives birth, she will feel the pain she has suffered, which her mother has also suffered. She will understand her mother, sympathize with her mother, and feel sorry for her mother better than her son. Don't believe it? Think about it yourself. When you gave birth to your child, did you think of your mother?"
Lu Fen's eyes turned red without her knowing when. She turned her head away and sniffed silently.
She had thought about it, of course she had, but her mother died of complications during childbirth when she gave birth to her younger brother, and she was still young at that time.
Her mother only left her with a vague shadow, and she couldn't remember anything else.
She suddenly felt a little sad. Once upon a time, she was the one who resented her brother for taking her mother's life, but now she has become a selfish and cold-hearted mother who ignores her daughter's suffering.
She is so incompetent.
Maybe Yao Zhizhi was right. If she continued like this, her daughter would hate her. After all, she was the only one who could stop He Qiang from using violence.
It might have been a little difficult before, but now He Qiang has become a disabled person and has lost his job.
She took a deep breath and turned around: "I know, I will protect Lanlan and the others."
"If you really can't stop him, just say that I can't stand He Qiang beating our daughter. Remember, don't bring me up unless it's absolutely necessary. That's just relying on external forces, not conquering him yourself. The nature is different." Yao Zhizhi spoke earnestly. To be fair, He Lan helped He Feng slander her two children, but she could sit back and watch the fire, ignoring the unequal treatment He Lan suffered.
But she also understood that children's values had not yet been fully established and that they were not unforgivable and hopeless.
Moreover, when the family is poor and hungry, even adults may have the urge to steal, let alone children who have no self-control.
It is inappropriate to completely deny a child because of this little thing.
That was the arrogance and indifference of adults towards children, and she didn't want to be that kind of person.
She checked the time and saw it was getting late. She gave one last warning: "Remember, in this world, only your daughters can be your allies. Be good to your daughters. When you are old, you will be grateful to me."
Lu Fen nodded silently, dumped all the things away, and went back.
Qi Changxiao came out from the inner room and held Yao Zhizhi's shoulders. He did not stop her from being kind because he knew that she just felt sorry for the children who were not well fed and clothed.
Because once, she was also a child who was not well fed and clothed.
A person's present is shaped by the past. She is not a pushover, she just doesn't want to be a cold-hearted adult.
As for what she said, that only daughters can be their mother's allies, although it is not absolutely true, it does fit the situation of most families - most families will spoil their sons and raise them to be ungrateful, only knowing how to ask for things, and not even doing housework.
So, there is no need to bring up the occasional exceptions to refute her argument.
As long as he can always remind his children to respect and be grateful to their mother, that is enough.
Now, there are ready-made housework that children can participate in and experience the difficulties of their parents.
So, Qi Changxiao suggested with a smile: "Let's call the children. There are exactly eight bottles and jars here. Let's each clean two."
"Okay." Yao Zhizhi agreed with a smile and went to the kitchen to prepare a basin, sulfur soap, a brush, a loofah and other tools.
The family of four squatted in a row and started washing by the well.
Lu Fen made lunch and after much thought, she decided to send over a bowl of minced meat and eggplant. After all, they made a lot of money from selling those bottles and cans today, and He Qiang also wanted to celebrate.
This was the first time their family had reciprocated the kindness of their neighbors, and He Qiang, for the first time, did not refuse.
When Lu Fen came over with the bowl, she happened to see the happy scene in the yard.
That family of four is so harmonious and beautiful.
Yao Zhizhi was right. Daughters naturally want to be closer to their mothers. If you don’t believe me, just look at Little Yueyue. She will stay close to her mother even when she is brushing a bottle. Every time she brightens a small area, she will show it off to her mother.
What a little cutie.
Lu Fen didn't want to break this harmony, so she silently handed the bowl to the nanny and turned away.
*
Xiao Hui is pregnant. I don’t know why, but I always feel like crying recently.
It may be because of dizziness and nausea, and because everything I eat feels uncomfortable and I want to vomit.
She missed her mother so much that she went back to her mother's place crying.
As a result, her mother's mind was full of her youngest son and she didn't even have time to ask her to sit down.
Xiao Hui felt so wronged that she stamped her feet and shouted, "Mom! Can you please take care of me? I'm so miserable!"
