Chapter 37: Do you try your best every time?
If you don’t know what to say, don’t say it yet. Think about it before you speak. This is the experience of life that Deng Xiuzhen, who has lived two lives, has summed up.
Seeing that Deng Xiuzhen didn't say anything, Qin Yanlin didn't say anything either. After dinner, he went straight to Mamu.
Deng Xiuzhen tried hard to recall, but she had no memory of Qin Wenjing having such a personality.
She didn’t know whether these things happened in her previous life. Maybe they did, but she was too busy to pay much attention to what was happening outside and rarely communicated with her children, so she didn’t know.
Qin Wenjing might side with the bully and follow the trend, or she might be like most children, carefully protecting herself and not getting involved.
Because of her rebirth, many things have changed.
Maybe it was because her educational method changed, or maybe it was because she began to pay attention to her child's growth, which changed Qin Wenjing's situation and thus changed her personality, or maybe it just stimulated Qin Wenjing's nature, which led to these things happening.
She doesn't want her child to be like this. The first bird to stick its head out gets shot at, which is an eternal truth.
She just wanted to teach her children to protect themselves. She just wanted to teach her children to be grateful and understand that giving and receiving complement each other.
She didn't want her child to be the one who stood out, especially a dangerous one that was at the center of the storm, which would be very detrimental to the child's growth.
Not only will it have a negative impact on children's world view and outlook on life, but it will also bring various unknown dangers to children.
As a mother, she would never allow such danger to exist.
"Wenjing, after hearing Wenxin and Wenyu talking about school matters at noon, Mommy thinks that's not a good thing." Deng Xiuzhen said during dinner.
Tan Wenjing looked up at Deng Xiuzhen without saying anything.
As a child of twelve or thirteen, she didn't understand what was wrong with this.
Some classmates told her that with her protection, no one would dare to bully them anymore.
She is proud to be able to protect her classmates.
Some classmates also said that they admired her. It felt great to be admired and she liked it very much.
Also, every day so many classmates greeted her enthusiastically. She was the center of the group and she enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
"Wen Jing, have you ever thought about why these classmates are chasing after you?"
"I know, they think I dared to fight with Liu Xiaoying, and I beat her so hard that Liu Xiaoying never dared to hit me again, and even didn't dare to touch the people around me. So they admire me, and some classmates want to get my protection." There was pride and pride in Qin Wenjing's tone.
"Some of these kids follow you because they admire you for being strong. They think you are strong, so they are willing to get in touch with you.
As for what you said about wanting your protection, there are definitely children who want this, but can you protect them? How do you protect them?
Do you rely on fighting with others? How many people can you beat?
What you relied on this time was ruthlessness, just like the saying goes: the tough ones are afraid of the ruthless ones, and the ruthless ones are afraid of the desperate ones.
Liu Xiaoying and the others don't bother you now because they are afraid that you will fight to the death.
Do you fight hard every time?"
"But Liu Xiaoying and her gang really don't dare to touch us!" Qin Wenjing was not convinced.
"Wen Jing, no one is an individual. Behind every person there is a group. Do you know what the situation is like in Liu Xiaoying's family?"
"I heard that her family is an official, but no matter what the situation is, if she dares to bully her classmates, I will beat her up!" Qin Wenjing laughed contemptuously.
"Do you really think she wouldn't dare to touch you? Even if she doesn't dare, would her family dare to do so? And if they really want to touch you, do they need to do it themselves?"
"She, she doesn't do it herself? Then who will do it?" Tan Wenjing looked at Deng Xiuzhen, hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you saying that she will pay someone else to do it like what is shown on TV?"
"Wenjing, you are still very smart!" Deng Xiuzhen gave Qin Wenjing a thumbs up. Then she continued, "Liu Xiaoying and the people around her may be afraid of you because of your ruthlessness this time.
But this is definitely not the real reason why she didn't touch you. The real reason should be that her family stopped her.
We have met her father and mother, neither of them is a good person, nor is they the type to settle things peacefully.
Now they do nothing and even ask Liu Xiaoying to be patient. There must be someone who doesn't want them to cause any trouble.
These people behind the scenes are much more terrifying than Liu Xiaoying and her parents. If they take action, we will have no ability to fight back.
They didn’t do it because they didn’t care about us. They had their own plans and didn’t want to waste their energy on people like us who were insignificant.”
"Mom, I understand. I will pay attention next time." Qin Wenjing nodded seriously.
"Wen Jing, oh, and Wen Xin and Wen Yu, listen to me. Mom taught you not to fight easily. If you fight, you will be scared of others. It is to let you protect yourself, not to be a hero.
You have to know that if you want something, you have to pay a price.
For example, Wen Jing, if she wants to be admired by her classmates, she has to stand in front of them and face those dangers.
If you are not careful, you will get hurt.
If you get hurt, it hurts not only you, but also your parents and those who care about you. They will all be sad and upset. "
"Mom, I won't fight." Wen Xin said, turning to look at Wen Jing and said, "Sister, let's not be heroes. I don't want you to get hurt."
"Sister, let's stop fighting. I'm afraid of seeing blood, and I'll feel bad for you." Wen Yu ran over, took Wen Jing's hand, looked up at her and said.
"Yeah," Wen Jing nodded seriously.
After that, the three children kept a low profile. When someone gathered around Wen Jing, she would tell them: We are all students. We come to school to study. We should focus on studying. Don't follow me. Everyone should study hard.
Then she walked away. Before long, there were almost no classmates around her.
It was the end of the year in a blink of an eye. Deng Xiuzhen was drying clothes one day when several uninvited guests suddenly came to her house.
"Xiuzhen, how can you be so cruel? You never come home to see mom. You don't know how much mom misses you!" He Taoxiu started muttering and wiping away tears when she saw Deng Xiuzhen.
"Xiuzhen, you are really outrageous. You haven't visited your mother for several months. Do you still have her in your heart?" Deng Xiumei criticized Deng Xiuzhen seriously.
Deng Xiuzhen's father Deng Kaihuai and his younger brother Deng Chunsheng stood by and said nothing.
Song Yuanxiang stood far away, pretending to be a quail.
"Dad, Mom, why are you here? How could I not miss you? Don't I have time? Life has been hard lately, and I'm afraid my parents will know and worry if I go back." Deng Xiuzhen can now play the role of a affectionate person with ease.
She didn't believe that such a big family came to her because they missed her.
Her intuition told her that something had happened and she was being taken advantage of.
"Why is your house so shabby? Did you buy it or rent it?" Deng Xiumei frowned and looked around.
"Alas, life is good in the countryside, but you have to run to the city. Look, it's so crowded and narrow that my grandchildren have to suffer!" He Taoxiu sighed repeatedly as she looked at the small space.
"Dad, Mom, sister, Chunsheng, please sit down. I'll go buy some vegetables and cook for you." Deng Xiuzhen said as she prepared to go out. Song Yuanxiang stood far away and didn't come over, so she pretended not to see him.
These people didn't say what they were doing, and she didn't ask.
