All the children in the Jiang family are like this
Lanterns were swaying high up. Jiang Yunshu sat under the eaves, looking at the night in the distance and the bright lights in the night.
There was no one around her, and the person who followed her disappeared silently into the darkness.
The view is great, the ears are clear, the night is quiet and peaceful, and the comfort is so peaceful that it makes you drift off to sleep.
“Pah…”
It was as if the sound of branches breaking was heard in the breeze, and the overlapping sounds of impatient and decadent footsteps approached rapidly, suddenly interrupting Jiang Yunshu's sleepiness.
Jiang Yunshu slowly raised his eyes.
Amidst the swaying grass and trees, a middle-aged man and woman walked one after the other on the path.
"Clap, clack..." The heels hit the stone pavement with increasing force, and the sound of footsteps shook the earth in the quiet night.
The two people who came over had frowns on their faces and looked unhappy.
The woman who was walking in front angrily suddenly stopped, turned her head sharply, glared at the depressed man behind her, and opened her mouth in anger.
“Hey!”
Seeing this, the man behind her hurriedly stopped her and looked behind the woman in surprise.
The words of rebuke and complaint were instantly stuck in her throat. The wealthy woman was startled. The angry and ferocious look on her face suddenly stopped and then faded away bit by bit. She turned around and looked to the side of the path with a frown.
Under the eaves not far away, a child of four or five years old was sitting quietly in the glow of the orange lanterns.
The child was wearing a strange white robe, with her hair tied up in a short, low bun at the back of her head. Her face was calm and indifferent, and her eyes, as dull as the night, looked at them and the night scene calmly.
Too calm, too indifferent, without any curiosity or fear of seeing outsiders, as if he was an aloof and indifferent bystander.
I have to say... disgust flashed across the woman's eyes. It was a truly unpleasant look and attitude.
Whose child is this?!
The woman turned around irritably and opened her mouth to say something to the man behind her.
The thin man behind her spoke before her: "We're tired after walking for so long. There's no one here. Let's rest here for a while."
The woman paused, then felt the pain under her feet. She did not refuse, but walked towards the eaves not far away with an impatient look on her face.
The woman glanced at the wooden floor under the eaves with disdain, frowned, and reluctantly sat down as the man next to her pulled her.
Sitting in the hot night, the dirty flowers and plants swayed and rubbed against her clothes and ankles. The woman became too annoyed to bear it anymore, and suddenly turned her head and pulled the man away.
The man, however, stuck to the wooden floor tightly, frowned, and said in a low voice, "Why are you leaving? Are you still going to go there to see people's faces?!"
The woman shook her hand away, and in an instant her eyes turned red with anger as if she remembered something, and she slapped the man's arm viciously.
Taking a long, deep breath, the woman caught a glimpse of a figure not far to her left. She moved over, a friendly smile on her face as she asked, "Whose family are you from? Where are your family members?"
Jiang Yunshu sat there, looking at the night scenery in front of him, as if he didn't hear anything at all. He didn't respond, nor did he even look at them.
The woman's smile froze, her eyes showing dissatisfaction for a moment, then narrowed in a kind smile as she asked, "Why are you staying here alone? Why didn't you go to the banquet? Are you from the Jiang family, or someone else's? Did you do something wrong? Are they not letting you go?"
"Do you want me to take you there?" The woman covered her mouth and laughed. "I'll take you to your family to apologize. Children are naughty, it's nothing. There are so many children there today, so why not let you go in and play a little bit?"
"It's a bit loud..." Jiang Yunshu thought lightly, but there was not much emotional fluctuation in his heart.
The ultimate calmness and peace of mind is to have a rich heart, to own the whole world, and to be immersed in lazy comfort.
——The time for taking a walk and getting some fresh air was not over yet, but she was too lazy to move, nor was she too lazy to call for someone to come and take her away.
Jiang Yunshu remained deaf to the chattering around him and stared into the distance motionlessly.
The woman next to him finally couldn't keep the friendly smile on her face anymore. The pent-up irritation and anger suddenly surged into her heart like a tide:
"Those snobby old bastards look down on us who have made it big overnight. It's fine if they just give me a cold shoulder, but who do you think you are, a little brat? How dare you give me a cold shoulder?!"
The woman's facial features were slightly distorted and ferocious with anger, but she still managed to force a smile that showed intimacy.
She looked up and down at the girl next to her with a critical eye, raised her hand to her mouth, and said with a tone of worry and disbelief: "What kind of clothes are you wearing? Why did your family dress you up like this?"
The woman's eyes were filled with sympathy but also with undisguised contempt. As if she had suddenly realized something, she said in surprise, "No matter what mistake you made, your family can't let you dress like this and leave you here alone!"
"What a poor child..."
The woman's eyes were gentle, her tone was gentle, but the corners of her mouth were rising higher and higher in mockery, "Your family is too partial, they don't care about you at all. You are so young, and they are so cruel. I don't know how they will treat you when you grow up..."
Jiang Yunshu's face was calm, and it was unclear whether he had heard it or not, or perhaps he didn't care even if he had.
Only when the heart is rich and the core is stable will one not be shaken by external disturbances.
However, paradoxically, the more she behaves in this way, the more likely she is to arouse evil thoughts from others.
Not getting the response she wanted, the woman instantly stood up in anger, pointing at her and shouting:
"Auntie is talking to you! How come you don't react at all?! What's your attitude towards your elders?! No one will like you if your attitude is so improper!!"
The woman's face flushed with anger. "You haven't changed despite repeated warnings! Your family will punish you severely!"
"You deserve a beating! You deserve a beating! If you weren't lucky, a child like you who wasn't pleasing to others would have been strangled to death in ancient times!!"
Her face was ferocious, and she was gesticulating and cursing with saliva flying everywhere. The "buzzing buzz buzz" sound drowned out all the human voices and insect chirping in the late summer night.
Jiang Yunshu moved his body, far away from the saliva, walked around half a circle and sat under the eaves on the other side.
The woman pointed at her and cursed at her from a distance.
In the darkness of the night, the three hidden figures glanced at the woman lightly, their hearts filled with confusion.
Where did she get the courage to scold a child whose origin and background were unknown?
Are you really so confident that you are not afraid of hitting a wall?
However, they had no intention of showing up to stop it. They were only responsible for ensuring Jiang Yunshu's life safety, not protecting Jiang Yunshu's mental health.
Whether they were indifferent or timid, as long as Jiang Yunshu didn't call them, they would not pay attention to this little thing.
——All the children in the Jiang family are like this.
If they are angry, they will lose their temper on the spot, smash things and start a quarrel; if they feel wronged, they will complain to the elders and do everything they can to get them to support them...
If the children of the Jiang family don’t stand up strong enough, no one will help them.
Everyone will just think that this child is too weak and useless, and will not spend much time and effort on this child.
Jiang Yunshu is luckier than other children in the Jiang family. Even if she doesn't fight for anything, there are people who do their best to ensure her safety.
I don’t know if it’s because of this, but her actual temper may not be that good, but her outward image is too dull and gentle.
The three people in the darkness frowned at the same time.
The cursing in the night gradually faded away, and the woman was panting. I don’t know if it was because she was immersed in her own world and cursed enough, the malice and resentment on her face disappeared.
The woman smiled warmly again, caught up with Jiang Yunshu, and said softly, "Ah, I was just too worried about you. I was so anxious. Don't blame me. What I said makes sense."
The woman's smile gradually turned sweet. "Auntie also has a child at home who is about your age. She is very well-behaved and polite, and everyone who sees her praises her. You should learn from her, so that your family will like you, okay?"
Jiang Yunshu stood up, brushed his robe, and was about to leave.
The woman hurried forward to stop her, with a gentle but pretendingly stern look on her face. Her eyes were gentle, and she said softly, "Auntie knows you don't like to hear it. You blame me now, but you will thank me for what I taught you today in the future!"
"How many words do you know this year? Did your family teach you to read?" the woman smiled proudly. "My aunt's little girl reads books every day. If someone jokes about throwing away her books and not letting her read, she gets so anxious that she cries. She must read!"
The woman seemed lost in memories, her smile growing sweeter. "You're so good! You don't bother me at all!"
After a pause, she seemed to suddenly think of something, her smile paused, and then she said to Jiang Yunshu happily:
"That's because she insisted on reciting poems at home today and refused to come no matter how much we called her. Otherwise, Auntie could ask her to take care of you and teach you how to recite poems! She's already memorized most of the book. How many poems can you recite?"
Jiang Yunshu wanted to leave.
Jiang Yunshu turned his head, glanced faintly into the darkness, and said, "Let's go."
The woman in front of her paused, thinking she was being rude, and immediately flew into a rage. She raised her hand and hit her on the head, yelling:
"I'm teaching you a lesson, but you're such an ungrateful person, what's your attitude?!!"
"Bang!"
An invisible gust of wind suddenly arose in the darkness, breaking the woman's raised right hand and sending her flying in an instant.
The woman fell into the grass with a thud, and her face was stunned for a moment.
Then, she frantically struggled away from Jiang Yunshu, her eyes wide open, and she screamed in fear, one louder than the other:
"There's a ghost! There's a ghost!! Someone, help me, ah——"
Jiang Yunshu didn't look at her and turned to leave.
"Xiao Shu!"
Jiang Yunshu slowly stopped and turned to look in the direction where the sound came from.
Behind her, three figures hidden in the darkness walked out and bowed respectfully in that direction.
More than twenty people came in a mighty procession.
The leader looked at the unusually young man running towards them, his face panicked, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Yunshu's face was calm, and he didn't react at all. He said calmly, "No."
"That's good." The head of the Jiang family breathed a sigh of relief, a light smile on his face.
He turned around, a smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as ice. He stared at the middle-aged man and woman and said coldly:
"You two avoided the waiter and came here, where it's strictly forbidden, to attack my Jiang family's child... Do you want to die?"
