Chapter 125 My daughter encounters setbacks again
The night is like a dark blue curtain, dotted with stars, gently enveloping the earth.
Xu Yao and Xue Han walked side by side on the country road. The evening breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness and blowing away the hustle and bustle and restlessness of the day.
The moonlight shone on them, outlining two slender figures, and the air was filled with a faint sweetness.
"It's all thanks to you today," Xu Yao sighed softly, with a hint of fear in her tone, "otherwise I really don't know how to deal with the old sixth of my third sister."
Xue Han's low laughter echoed in the night sky, as sweet as a cello. "She is just a paper tiger. Don't be afraid of her. She brought her own death upon herself and you can't blame others." He put his arm around Xu Yao's shoulders, giving her silent comfort and strength.
Although the villagers have signed the contract and expressed their willingness to support Xu Yao's business transformation, Xu Yao still feels a little uneasy.
The third sister is not a pushover. How could she let it go after suffering such a huge loss?
She was worried that her third sister would bite people like a mad dog and ruin her investment plans.
What worries Xu Yao even more is her daughter's situation at school.
Adolescents are sensitive and fragile and are easily influenced by the outside world.
In the past, because of her ex-husband, my daughter suffered a lot of grievances at school.
Now that she had finally gotten herself together again, Xu Yao was really afraid that she would be stimulated again.
"Oh, I don't know how my daughter is doing in school." Xu Yao couldn't help but mutter, with a trace of worry between her brows.
Xue Han sensed Xu Yao's uneasiness, patted her hand gently, and comforted her: "Don't worry, let's go to school together tomorrow to see her and find out more about the situation."
Xu Yao looked at Xue Han gratefully and felt a little relieved.
With him around, she always felt safe.
Just as the two were immersed in the warm atmosphere, an abrupt ringing of a bell broke the tranquility of the night.
Xu Yao took out her cell phone, glanced at the caller ID, and her face instantly became solemn, like the dark clouds before a storm.
"Hello? Teacher Wang, hello... What? My daughter had a fight with her classmates? Okay, okay, we'll be there right away!" Xu Yao's voice trembled, and her heart instantly rose to her throat.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yao's face was as pale as paper, and her lips were trembling slightly. She grabbed Xue Han's hand and said hurriedly: "Teacher Wang said that my daughter had a fight with her classmates at school, so let's go to school quickly!"
Xue Han's face also darkened. Without saying a word, he pulled Xu Yao and ran towards the school.
The night wind whistled past, as if urging them on, and as if foreshadowing some ominous premonition.
When they arrived at school, they went straight to Teacher Wang's office.
Teacher Wang is a middle-aged woman who wears a pair of glasses and looks gentle and refined.
When she saw Xu Yao and Xue Han, she quickly stood up and asked them to sit down.
"Xu Yao, your daughter's incident this time is quite serious." Teacher Wang said with a hint of helplessness, "She had a fight with a classmate and pushed him down. Now his parents are in the hospital for examination."
Xu Yao's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She suppressed her anxiety and asked, "Teacher Wang, what happened? My daughter is usually very well behaved, why did she suddenly fight with her classmates?"
Teacher Wang sighed and explained, "This is what happened. During the break this afternoon, several students were discussing your business transformation. Someone said that you were cheating people out of money. Your daughter got very angry when she heard that and started arguing with the other party. Later, I don't know what happened, but they started fighting..."
Hearing this, Xu Yao understood instantly.
It must be my third sister who is behind this!
She was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she wanted to rush to settle the score with her third sister immediately.
This vicious woman didn't even let the child go!
"Teacher Wang, where is my daughter now?" Xu Yao's voice was a little hoarse. She just wanted to see her daughter and make sure she was safe.
Teacher Wang pointed to the small room next to the office and said, "She's inside. Go check her out."
Xu Yao pushed open the door and saw her daughter sitting in the corner.
She lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, and she was obviously crying.
Xu Yao's heart felt like it was pricked by a needle. She quickly walked to her daughter, squatted down, and gently held her in her arms.
"Baby, what's wrong? Tell mom." Xu Yao's voice was gentle and firm, like a warm current, slowly flowing into her daughter's heart.
The daughter raised her head, looked at Xu Yao with tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "Mom, they all say you are a liar and that your business is fake... I don't want to hear others say bad things about you anymore..."
Xu Yao's eyes were also moist. She hugged her daughter tightly and said with a sob, "Baby, don't listen to their nonsense. Mom is not lying. Mom will do a good job in business. You believe in Mom..."
At this moment, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from the door: "Hey, are you crying again? Your mother is doing a scam business, and you are still protecting her!"
Xu Yao suddenly raised her head and saw her third sister standing at the door with a gloating expression on her face.
She was immediately enraged and wished she could tear her third sister's ugly face apart.
When the daughter saw her third sister, she became even more agitated. She struggled to get out of Xu Yao's arms and rushed forward to argue with her third sister.
Xue Han was quick to grab his daughter and stop her from acting impulsively.
The air was filled with gunpowder, and a bigger conflict was about to break out... Xu Yao looked at her third sister calmly and said, "Third sister, don't make a fuss here..."
Xu Yao took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in her heart. Her eyes were like ice, and she shot straight at her third sister: "Third sister, stop being so sarcastic here. I don't need you to point fingers at my business. But you, at your age, why don't you stay at home and enjoy your old age? Instead, you come here to sow discord. What's your intention?"
The third sister was frightened by Xu Yao's look, but she refused to give in. She pinched her waist and raised her voice: "Oh, oh, are you angry because of shame? Did I say you lied? The eyes of the masses are sharp! You do those fancy things, aren't you just trying to make money? Don't think I don't know your little tricks!"
"That's right, Xu Yao, don't think we don't know that you just want to get something for nothing!"
"That's right, they're still trying to change their name, I think they're just trying to continue to scam people!"
The few "helpers" brought by the third sister also joined in the commotion, talking one after another, and they wished they could eat Xu Yao alive.
Upon seeing this, Xue Han glared with his eyes wide open, took a step forward, and stood in front of Xu Yao and her daughter, emitting a powerful aura that kept strangers away.
He glanced around coldly, his voice low and oppressive: "If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Xue Han's shout immediately silenced those people, and they dared not say a word.
After all, no one wants to mess with this tough guy who just returned from the army.
Xu Yao felt so distressed when she saw her daughter shivering.
She knew that her daughter must be feeling bad.
She patted her daughter's back gently and said softly, "Don't be afraid, baby, mom is here. They are all talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."
The daughter raised her head, looked at Xu Yao with tearful eyes, and choked up and said, "Mom, is what they said true? Are you really lying?"
Xu Yao felt a pain in her heart and quickly shook her head: "Of course not! Mom's business is legitimate, how could she lie? You believe in Mom, okay?"
The daughter nodded as if she understood, but the worry and uneasiness in her eyes still did not disappear.
Xu Yao turned her head and looked at her third sister again. You provoke me again and again. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?
Let me tell you, I, Xu Yao, was not brought up by fear!
If you dare to spread rumors and slander my reputation again, I will sue you until you lose everything! ”
The third sister was shocked by Xu Yao's aura and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
She didn't expect that Xu Yao, who usually looked weak and timid, could be so terrifying when she got angry.
"Humph, sue me? Do you think I'm afraid of you?!" the third sister shouted in a timid manner, but her voice was obviously not as confident as before.
Xu Yao sneered, no longer paying attention to her third sister, took her daughter's hand, and said to Xue Han: "Let's go!"
Xue Han nodded, glared at his third sister fiercely, then followed Xu Yao and left the office.
The third sister stamped her feet in anger as she watched Xu Yao and Xue Han leave.
She said viciously: "Xu Yao, just wait for me! I won't let you have an easy time!"
After Xu Yao and the others left, Teacher Wang walked up to the third sister and said in a serious tone, "Why are you like this? You come to school to cause trouble for no reason. Is that fun? Do you know how much harm you will cause to the children by doing this?"
The third sister curled her lips and said disdainfully: "I don't care whether she hurts me or not, it's her mother who offended me!"
Teacher Wang shook his head and sighed, "It's really unreasonable!" After that, he ignored the third sister and turned back to the office.
The third sister felt bored and had to leave the school in disappointment.
Walking on the way home, Xu Yao felt very heavy.
She knew that even though she had temporarily driven her third sister away, the matter was not over.
The third sister will definitely not give up. She will definitely find ways to destroy her own business.
Moreover, her daughter's psychology is very fragile, and she is worried that her daughter will become rebellious again because of this incident.
The night wind blew Xu Yao's hair, and also blew away the glimmer of hope in her heart.
She looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds covering the moon and stars, and the whole world was shrouded in darkness.
"Yaoyao, don't worry, everything will be fine." Xue Han saw Xu Yao's worry, held her hand tightly, and comforted her softly.
Xu Yao looked at Xue Han gratefully and forced a smile: "Yes, I know."
However, her heart was still filled with anxiety.
The business transformation has entered a critical stage and there is still a lot of work to be done. She doesn’t know if she can balance her daughter and her career.
"Mom, I never want to hear anyone say bad things about you again!" the daughter suddenly said, her voice choked with sobs.
Xu Yao stopped, squatted down, and looked at her daughter gently: "Baby, it's okay, Mom will prove to them that Mom is not a liar, Mom will do a good job in business!"
"Yes!" The daughter nodded vigorously, with a determined light in her eyes.
Xu Yao smiled with relief. She knew that her daughter was her motivation. She must do a good job in business for her daughter and make those who looked down on her take notice of her!
"Mom, I'm hungry..." the daughter said pitifully, touching her stomach.
Xu Yao was stunned, then she remembered that she hadn't had dinner yet, so she smiled and scratched her daughter's nose: "Let's go home and have something delicious!"
Xue Han also smiled and picked up his daughter: "Let's go, uncle will carry you home!"
The daughter happily hugged Xue Han's neck and giggled.
Looking at her daughter's innocent smile, Xu Yao felt a little better.
She believes that as long as the family works together, they can overcome all difficulties.
After returning home, Xu Yao immediately got busy, cooking and cleaning, while Xue Han helped.
Soon, a table of delicious food was ready.
A family of three sat around the table, eating and chatting, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
"Yaoyao, I'll accompany you to the school tomorrow and ask Teacher Wang about the situation." Xue Han suggested.
Xu Yao nodded: "Yeah, okay."
The next day, Xu Yao and Xue Han came to school early.
They first went to see Teacher Wang and learned the details of the fight between their daughter and her classmates.
"Alas, Xu Yao, your daughter was indeed a little impulsive this time, but I can understand her. After all, no one wants to hear others speak ill of their mother." Teacher Wang sighed and said, "I have already criticized her, and she has realized her mistake and promised not to make the same mistake again in the future."
Xu Yao said gratefully: "Thank you, Teacher Wang."
"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Teacher Wang smiled and said, "By the way, I want to tell you one more thing. Your daughter's academic performance has always been very good and she has great potential. I hope you can train her well."
Xu Yao nodded: "I will."
After coming out of Teacher Wang’s office, Xu Yao and Xue Han went to find their daughter again and talked to her for a long time.
"Baby, mom knows you feel wronged, but fighting is wrong. You should deal with things calmly in the future and don't be impulsive." Xu Yao said earnestly.
The daughter nodded: "I know, Mom."
"Be good." Xu Yao patted her daughter's head and said, "If someone says something bad about mom again, don't argue with them. Tell mom directly and I will handle it."
"Yes!" The daughter nodded vigorously.
After some counseling, my daughter's mood finally improved a lot and a smile appeared on her face.
Looking at her daughter's smile, Xu Yao felt a little relieved.
She believed that as long as she cared more about her daughter and communicated with her more, her daughter would grow up healthily and happily.
After dealing with school matters, Xu Yao and Xue Han returned to the village and continued to be busy with business transformation.
Although she encountered obstruction from her third sister, Xu Yao was not discouraged. She firmly believed that her choice was correct and that as long as she persisted, she would succeed.
At night, Xu Yao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
The words her daughter said today kept echoing in her mind.
"Mom, I never want to hear anyone say bad things about you again!"
Xu Yao knew very well that her daughter said this because she was hurt.
She didn't want her daughter to be hurt again, so she must protect her daughter and let her grow up happily.
But what should she do?
She was busy with her business, taking care of her daughter, and guarding against sabotage from her third sister. She felt like she was about to collapse.
Suddenly, she thought of a way, maybe, she could...
"Xue Han, are you asleep?" Xu Yao asked softly.
Xue Han turned over and opened his eyes: "What's wrong, Yaoyao? Can't sleep?"
Xu Yao nodded and said, "I have an idea..."
Xue Han sat up and looked at Xu Yao seriously: "What do you think?"
Xu Yao bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I think..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.
"Who is it? Knocking on the door so late?" Xue Han asked with a frown.
"Yaoyao, open the door quickly! Something happened!" An anxious shout came from outside the door.
Xu Yao and Xue Han looked at each other, then quickly got up and opened the door.
I saw my neighbor Aunt Wang standing at the door, her face pale and she said breathlessly: "Yaoyao, go and have a look! Your warehouse is on fire!"
