Yes, sending her daughter short videos that teach life lessons is one of Song Xia's current pleasures. Afraid that her daughter Wei Zhu won't watch them, she will ask questions a while after sending them.
At first, Wei Zhu was both amused and exasperated, but later she found that some of the videos made some sense, and she began to take them to heart.
“I didn’t mean to force you,” Jing Jun continued. “Wei Zhu, I just want you to give me a chance. I know I’m not good enough for you right now, but I will work hard. I can also go to night school to improve my education, just like Yue Ting.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhu wasn't thinking about how ambitious Jing Jun was; instead, she was wondering how he knew Yue Ting was attending night school. Did he know where she was studying? And was he planning to harass Yue Ting after she resigned and deleted his contact information?
Therefore, she firmly refused: "Jing Jun, you don't need to say anything about doing anything for me. I can't afford it. What you want to do is your own business and has nothing to do with me. Please don't say such things in the future."
Jing Jun's expression changed, becoming somewhat sinister, but he still took a deep breath: "Wei Zhu, do you have to be so heartless?"
"Don't make it sound like I've wronged you. We have no relationship whatsoever."
As she spoke, Wei Zhu left and pulled Yue Ting, who was waiting for her a few meters away, back to the dormitory together.
"Jing Jun is really persistent! I've never seen someone with such thick skin. How am I supposed to refuse him?"
“Tingting, I’m a little worried. He seemed to know about your night school when he was talking.”
Yue Ting's eyelids twitched: "He shouldn't be that bold!"
That evening, Song Xia sent Wei Zhu another short video reminding her that girls should be careful when they are out alone. Wei Zhu took the opportunity to ask her concerns: "Mom, do you think Jing Jun is a person with extreme ideas?"
Song Xia's heart clenched. The two of them had known each other for so long. Although, under her subtle guidance, Wei Zhu did not intend to have any further involvement with Jing Jun in this life, Jing Jun had beaten his daughter to death over something trivial in his previous life. If he hadn't achieved his goal in this life, it was inevitable that he would take some action.
"Since you sense danger, don't gamble with human nature. It's not worth risking your life."
This was the first time Wei Zhu had heard her mother speak in such a serious tone, and she couldn't help but ask somewhat nervously, "Then what do we do now?"
"Is your roommate Tingting only able to attend that night school? Are there any other branch schools?"
Yue Ting, who had been listening nearby, replied, "The school I'm attending now is a branch campus; the main campus is in the provincial capital."
Then she changed the subject: "Oh right, why didn't I think of going to the main campus in the provincial capital to complete my studies? Auntie, is the rent expensive there?"
"If you're short on money right now, you can share a room with me and Wei Zhu. It's a bunk bed, but the lower bunk is more spacious, so it's no problem for two girls to sleep there."
"Auntie, I can't accept this."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You're Wei Zhu's friend. Wei Zhu told me that you've taken good care of her. Auntie hasn't even had a chance to thank you yet!"
"Auntie, I'll stay with you temporarily after I quit my job, and I'll move out once I find a new one."
"You can stay as long as you like, as long as you don't mind."
With her worries resolved, Yue Ting chatted easily with Wei Zhu: "Auntie is quite kind. I thought..."
She felt a little embarrassed. Wei Zhu understood what she was thinking, and she herself was also puzzled. Her mother didn't seem to be this gentle before.
From then until the day he left the company, Wei Zhu avoided Jing Jun and spent all his time either in the office or the dormitory. He even brought his three meals a day back to the office or the dormitory to eat, and he didn't go out during his holidays.
On the last day of the handover, the boss saw that they had worked hard and completed the handover properly, so he settled their wages and gave them an extra 500 yuan as a bonus. The two women were overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
Wei Zhu didn't expect to see her mother as soon as she stepped out of the factory gate, so she opened her eyes wide and asked, "Mom, what brings you here?"
Song Xia's face tightened slightly: "You said that a man had been bothering you before, and I was worried, so I came."
"Auntie," Yue Ting greeted her obediently, and Song Xia finally smiled.
"You must be Tingting. Come on, let me help you with your suitcase." Yue Ting had a lot of things, three large suitcases and a large bag. Wei Zhu helped push one of them, but it was a bit difficult for her to push two suitcases by herself, not to mention the large bag on top of the suitcases. So she took over the luggage forcefully.
"Auntie, no need." Yue Ting was flattered, because in her mind, she had never had a good impression of Song Xia, and she did not expect her to be so helpful.
"Auntie is stronger than you, don't refuse, or you'll miss your train."
Yue Ting and Wei Zhu exchanged a glance and smiled shyly: "Auntie, then we'll have to trouble you."
Song Xia guessed that the two had a lot of luggage, so she called a car and waited by the roadside. However, before the car arrived, Jing Jun drove up in front of them. He was a little surprised to see Song Xia when he opened the car door and didn't immediately figure out who she was.
So he said to Wei Zhu, "Are you going to the train station or the bus station? I'll take you there."
"No need." Before Wei Zhu and Yue Ting could speak, Song Xia refused directly, looking at him warily, "Who are you? Why are you being so attentive?"
"My name is Jing Jun, and I am Wei Zhu's colleague. Hello, Auntie."
"Just because she's Wei Zhu's colleague doesn't mean she's not Yue Ting's colleague. You're making such a distinction between the two of them. Don't think I don't know what you're planning. There's no future for you and Wei Zhu. We've called a car, so please make way."
Wei Zhu usually disliked listening to her mother's sarcastic remarks, but now she felt refreshed and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
Jing Jun's smile faded slightly: "Auntie, are you Wei Zhu's?"
“I’m her biological mother. What, can’t I make decisions about her affairs? There have been plenty of boys pursuing our Wei Zhu since she was little, and you’re not even in the running. Don’t think that just because our Wei Zhu is working in a factory right now, you can pursue her. No way. Our Wei Zhu’s future will be much brighter.”
Yue Ting chimed in, "Auntie, this car doesn't belong to him; it belongs to our boss's nephew."
Song Xia's tone became even more disdainful: "Oh, you don't even have a car, you're really shameless."
Wei Zhu's cheeks flushed slightly because of her mother's words. Although Jing Jun didn't have a car, her family wasn't much better off. How could her mother talk about him like that? Besides, Jing Jun's expression was really scary right now!
Song Xia wasn't afraid of Jing Jun's revenge; she was afraid he wouldn't. If he didn't have any intention of harming people, how could she avenge the death of her daughter in her previous life?
Jing Jun clenched his fist: "Auntie, don't underestimate a young man's potential."
Song Xia replied perfunctorily, "Well, the rest is just 'Don't bully the poor middle-aged, don't bully the poor old.' Alright, I've lived this long and seen everything, but I've seen very few people who have turned their lives around."
After she finished speaking, the car she had called arrived, leaving Jing Jun covered in exhaust fumes, and she drove off with a flourish.
