Chapter 105 A Suffocating Educational Approach
Jiang's father had to go to work, and Yang Yuemei was soft-hearted, so she raised the children in a very hands-off manner.
Whether you love learning or not depends entirely on your self-discipline.
At most, I'd buy them a badminton racket, a ping-pong racket, or a basketball or soccer ball so they could play around with it.
Piano, guzheng, violin, dance, calligraphy—these require hiring teachers at extra cost, and the Jiang family simply cannot afford to provide these for their child.
Fortunately, of the four children in the Jiang family, only the eldest, Jiang Haibing, disliked studying; the other three were very self-motivated in their studies without needing any prompting.
The Fan family is different.
The couple paid special attention to their child.
From the time Fan Ailing started kindergarten, Fan Junshan actively enrolled her in extracurricular classes.
What other children learn, his children must also learn, under the guise of cultivating a girl's ladylike qualities from a young age.
Fan Ailing grew up to be nineteen years old. Except for the time before she was five, when she was just eating and playing, she never had any time for herself from the age of five to nineteen.
When Fan Ailing was ten years old, the Children's Palace started offering piano classes.
Fan Junshan heard that many girls from wealthy families abroad learn to play the piano, so he actively enrolled Fan Ailing in piano lessons.
But Fan Ailing liked writing and painting, but disliked the piano, so she didn't want to learn it.
Fan Junshan makes nice statements when he's out there, but if he doesn't want to study, he simply doesn't.
When he got home, he took out his belt and beat Fan Ailing until her skin was torn and bleeding. He also scolded her for being ignorant, saying that he was only doing this for her own good. He said that even her aunt's sister couldn't afford to study, and that she shouldn't be ungrateful.
Fan Ailing had no choice but to obediently learn piano.
Later, Fan Junshan heard that girls who studied dance had good figures and postures, and could also improve their speech and manners, so he enrolled Fan Ailing in dance classes.
By this time, Fan Ailing had already learned calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting, and piano. She was so tired that she didn't have time to study. She had to stay up late every day to do her homework, and she really didn't want to study anymore.
After crying and making a fuss for several days and then getting a beating, she had no choice but to obediently go to school.
Fan Ailing studied dance until high school, when she fell and fractured her leg, making her unsuitable for dancing. Only then did she escape the nightmare of dancing.
If you don't study, you get beaten, and then you're labeled as disobedient and heartless. Fan Ailing is just a young girl who hasn't even reached adulthood. What else can she do but obey?
Yang Yuemei is a different case.
She has no job, only two children at home, and her only task is to take care of her husband and two children.
Yang Yuemei took care of everything for the three members of the Fan family, father and daughters, from the inside out.
Fan Ailing is nineteen years old and has never bought clothes for herself, can you believe it?
Yang Yuemei would prepare underwear, socks, shoes, and clothes for all four seasons.
Jiang Jianni remembered that when Fan Ailing was about sixteen or seventeen years old, the original owner of this body came back from summer vacation and took Fan Ailing shopping.
Fan Ailing picked out a dress herself for the first time, but Yang Yuemei threw it away when she got home, saying that she had bad taste and the dress she picked was terribly ugly.
When it comes to meals, Yang Yuemei is very strict about what and how much to eat at each meal.
That's not all. When eating boiled corn, she would peel the kernels off the cob and put them in a bowl, claiming it was to reduce their trouble.
She would pick out the bones for them when they ate fish, worried that they might accidentally eat a bone.
They insist that the water they drink must be warm; if they drink a sip of cold water, they'll be accused of not taking care of their health.
In short, everything she does is for their own good, so they have to listen to her.
The original owner of this body had even envied her cousin for being pampered at home, not having to do anything, with food, drinks, clothes, and other necessities being delivered right to her mouth and hands.
They truly live a life of ease, with everything handed to them.
Jiang Jianni only felt horrified when she thought about it.
It's not fair to say they don't care about their children; otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths for them.
But this kind of care and love is really suffocating.
Surrounded by such love, the siblings couldn't possibly put up the slightest resistance.
To resist is to be heartless, ungrateful, ungrateful, and unfilial.
Jiang Jianni has said more than once that she dressed up as Jiang Jianni instead of Fan Ailing.
If she dressed up as Fan Ailing, she probably wouldn't last two months in that kind of family environment before dragging her whole family down with her.
Despite growing up in such an environment, Fan Ailing was still able to maintain her individuality, think of resistance, and even take action to resist.
Jiang Jiani admired her courage and wisdom.
Yang Yuemei was embarrassed by her daughter's retort: "Really, why do you say that? Your uncle and the others are only doing it for Ailing's own good."
Jiang Jianni politely declined, saying, "Please don't."
She sneered, "If they hadn't forced Ailing to marry an old man, especially at such a crucial time as her college entrance exams, and with the intention of having a child first, I would have actually believed they were doing it for Ailing's own good."
"What a pity, their true colors have now been exposed."
"What do you mean by 'for Ailing's own good'? It's clearly for their own good."
"If you ask me, it's a good thing that Ailing ran away from home this time."
Yang Yuemei: "Oh dear, how could you say that? Besides, your second aunt's husband already regrets it..."
Jiang Jianni: "Let them tell Ailing the word 'regret' when she comes back."
"Let's see if Ailing will forgive them."
When Fan Ailing, a third-year junior high student, inquired about her situation, Jiang Jiani subconsciously revealed a lot of information.
This includes how to protect yourself when you're out and about, and how to settle yourself down.
Now she only regrets that she didn't say enough and should have said more.
I just don't know if this girl will actually try to go abroad.
I just hope everything goes well for her, and that she can escape her terrible family and live the free life she wants.
Too lazy to think about all the troubling things about housing prices anymore, Jiang Jianni reached out and hugged her eldest nephew: "This child is really chubby."
Yang Yuemei smiled and said, "Of course!"
"This child is so easy to raise, much easier than you four siblings were when you were little."
"As long as the baby is full and his bottom is dry, he can sleep for a long time."
When Jiang Jiani first arrived, the little one was crying loudly because he had wet himself and was uncomfortable. He stopped crying immediately after his diaper was changed.
Licking its little mouth, it sleeps soundly.
Jiang Jianni: "I forgot to ask my brother, how old is this child?"
She had never given birth to a child and had little contact with other people's children. Apart from noticing that the child was chubby and well-fed, she couldn't tell how old he was at all.
Yang Yuemei said, "Your brother said the child was born on November 28th, which means he's about three months old."
She looked admiringly at her chubby grandson: "His mother has raised him very well; he's a whole size bigger than other babies born in the same month."
Yang Yuemei just couldn't understand one thing:
“You know, the child’s mother has been raising the child for more than two months and she’s done such a good job of raising the child. She doesn’t seem to dislike the child at all.”
"Why won't you marry your brother?"
“It’s fine if we raise the child ourselves, anyway, your dad and I aren’t that old.”
"But how can a child live without a mother?"
