People Observation
The surroundings became quiet.
Ten seconds later, the woman tried to make amends, saying, "Shuangli, Shuangli just came back and didn't know what happened yet. When he heard Shuangyu was put in solitary confinement and Qili was badly injured, he became anxious..."
After a pause, she hurriedly called out to Jiang Qili in front of her: "Qili, why are you here? You're injured, why don't you go and take care of yourself?"
Jiang Qili turned around, smiled at the two of them, and said, "I'm looking for Sister Yunshu. Shuangyu felt guilty after calming down, so she asked me to apologize to Yunshu."
"Ah...yes, I just told Yunshu that Shuangyu was just too sad and upset. She definitely didn't do it on purpose." The woman completely relaxed and said to her, "Yunshu heard it. Go and take good care of her."
Jiang Yunshu stood between the two of them and didn't react at all when he heard this.
Jiang Qili shook her head gently, smiled friendly at Jiang Yunshu, and said to the woman, "Mom, you're tired too. Go back soon. Sister Yunshu and I still have some things to talk about."
"Oh, okay, take care of your injury." The woman was very relieved about her, smiled gently, nodded, turned and left.
After watching her leave, Jiang Qili approached Jiang Yunshu, raised her bandaged finger, pointed in a direction, and said with a smile: "Sister Yunshu, can you come to my room and talk?"
Jiang Yunshu didn't want to go. She was too tired after the day. She wanted to go back to her room to see the night view and then go to bed.
Without waiting for her to refuse, Jiang Qili said with a smile, "Sister Yunshu left our ancestral land just to experience the life of a normal child, right? Can I teach you?"
Jiang Yunshu looked at her, and after a second, he said "hmm" lightly and followed her into the room.
A glass of water was placed in front of Jiang Yunshu, and Jiang Qili sat opposite Jiang Yunshu with another glass of water.
"Yun Shu, do you have anything to say now?" Jiang Qili asked with a smile.
Shouldn't you be the one saying that... Jiang Yunshu looked at her indifferently and replied calmly, "No."
Jiang Qili laughed out loud, paused, stretched out her bandaged hands in front of Jiang Yunshu, smiled, stared at her and said:
"Whether it's genuine or fake, they're human beings. When they see it, they'll use their expressions and words to show their concern for me—oh yes, if they hate me, they'll mock me, look at me with contempt and provocation, or use their actions to cause me trouble and embarrassment."
Jiang Yunshu looked at her and asked slowly, "What should we do?"
"Listen and watch more, remember how others do things, and imitate them." Jiang Qili retracted her hands and said, "As you learn more and become more proficient in your posture and behavior, you will naturally be able to sense emotions in your heart."
Jiang Yunshu took note and nodded seriously.
Jiang Qili smiled and gave an example:
"Like that afternoon, when Jiang Shuangyu was crying so hard, I would act anxious, flustered, worried, and overwhelmed, showing my concern and attention. Then I would listen to what she had said, and then I would comfort her and let her cry enough, and the matter would be temporarily resolved... After that, she would think about it and cry a few more times, and it would be over."
She said: "Although the key is that she has vented her emotions and cried enough, my listening and comforting her can shorten her crying time, resolve the problem sooner, and make our relationship better and closer in the future."
Jiang Yunshu listened thoughtfully.
"You can draw inferences about other situations like this." Jiang Qili stared at her seriously and said, "Don't ignore others. At least don't let others feel ignored by you."
Jiang Yunshu followed her, reciting each word silently in his mind.
"Even if you don't hurt others, your neglect and indifference will make them unconsciously hate you."
Jiang Qili smiled and clapped his hands as he spoke, "Go and learn. Learn from everyone you meet, and when you encounter something, you'll be able to find a template for how to deal with it."
Jiang Yunshu thought it made sense and said "hmm".
"You should say 'I understand, thank you' now." Jiang Qili tilted his head and glanced at her with a smile. "Be more sincere and serious in your expression, so that the person you are facing feels that you are truly listening to them. Provide them with enough emotional value and leave a good impression on them."
Jiang Yunshu paused and said, "I understand. Thank you."
Jiang Qili nodded, picked up the water and took a sip, "It's okay, I'll learn slowly."
"I've taught you the method, but from now on it all depends on your own efforts." Jiang Qili suddenly laughed again and said, "Next you can learn to take the initiative to contact the head of the family, greet him, and tell him about your recent situation."
Jiang Yunshu didn't say anything and looked at her calmly.
"Yes, I do have my own selfish motives. But they're just to gain more opportunities. How can they really affect you?" Jiang Qili looked back at her without dodging or avoiding her. "And you should tell the Patriarch that you're studying, both emotionally and logically."
Jiang Yunshu said "I understand", without agreeing or refusing, and stood up and left.
Behind her, Jiang Qili curled her lips and watched her leave.
In the room, next to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Jiang Yunshu sat in the enlarged little nest and turned his head to look at the night view outside.
After a moment, she picked up the phone beside her and sent a "Good evening" emoticon to the head of the Jiang family.
Jiang Yunshu was thinking about what to say, but two seconds later, a phone call suddenly came in, interrupting her thoughts.
"Xiao Shu? Why did Xiao Shu suddenly send me a message?"
As soon as the phone was answered, the voice of the head of the Jiang family came out.
Jiang Yunshu opened his mouth slightly, racking his brains to recall whether he had seen similar questions and answers before. What should he say?
"Xiao Shu, have you been wronged today?" the Jiang family patriarch said with a distressed tone, "You must be scared. Xiao Shu should stay away from such emotionally unstable people, and can't rely too much on magic tools. You still have to hide..."
Jiang Yunshu paused in his movement of leaning back.
If my adoptive parents won’t tell me, then how did the head of the family know what happened today?
The head of the family did not hide this fact at all.
"I understand. I will hide next time." Jiang Yunshu leaned back into the soft nest and said in a flat tone.
The voice on the other end of the phone paused, and the Jiang family's head said in shock: "Why suddenly..."
Suddenly what? I don't know how to describe it, it's just a little weird.
"Well, they told me that I behaved wrongly today and I need to learn from them..." Jiang Yunshu calmly repeated Jiang Qili's words.
She didn't know whether what Jiang Qili said was right or what was right, so she came to ask the head of the family, and she learned whatever the head of the family asked her to learn.
After hearing this, the Jiang family patriarch chuckled softly, "Xiao Shu is really well behaved. He is trying hard to perceive this world..."
"That's right, Xiao Shu can try this method. However, when observing, Xiao Shu should pay attention to the reactions of others after those people do this, and wait for the chain reaction caused by these actions..."
He said, "You can learn it, but you have to pay attention to how to use it when you use it. There are too many situations to explain them one by one, so I can only take the trouble to explain it in detail."
Jiang Yunshu blinked, "I'll remember that. I'll learn to distinguish them. Thank you."
After a pause, she said with emotion, "People are so complicated."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then the Jiang family patriarch smiled and said, "People are complicated."
"People are scary." The Jiang family patriarch said with a low laugh, "Xiao Shu must... learn to judge people."
Jiang Yunshu responded seriously.
…………
Fourth floor.
"Is everything packed?"
The man raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, his face full of fatigue, and walked towards the room.
"I've put them all up there." The woman frowned, her tone impatient. "What are you sending all that waste here for? Why don't you just dispose of it?"
The man glanced at her and said, "What nonsense! It's just defective products. I need to observe and record them... You don't need to do anything. Just put them away. Why do you care so much?"
The woman couldn't contain her anger after hearing this. She grabbed him and said in a low voice, "It's just a pile of junk! It's annoying to have it lying around all day!"
"What do you mean?!" He stumbled when she pulled him off guard. He suddenly shook her hand off, stopped, and looked at her with an annoyed frown. "What's wrong with you today?"
"You actually asked me what's wrong? Don't you have any idea what you did today?!" The woman's eyes were red. "You spineless thing, you put Shuangyu in solitary confinement just to please that ungrateful bastard?!"
The man was also angry. "You talk as if you don't ask her about her well-being every day. Don't you see how you're fawning over her? Do you think she'll take you seriously? Don't you know what Shuangyu did today? If you don't let Shuangyu go to confinement, are you expecting our whole family to be dragged into the family to pay for her impulsive behavior?!"
“You, you!”
The woman angrily rushed forward and pinched his arm, tears in her eyes, gritting her teeth, "It was you who insisted on bringing her back in the first place. If you hadn't, nothing would have happened. Now look, our entire family revolves around her, and there's no benefit at all. We have to live in fear every day! What a foolish thing you did!!"
"Haven't we already taken all the annual resources? And didn't we also get one of the assessment spots? If I hadn't brought her in, would we have gotten those spots?!" The man grimaced and slapped her hand. "Isn't it just about having one more child at home? Didn't you agree to it back then?"
The woman pinched his arm and twisted it hard, tears streaming down her face as she angrily said, "It's not you who's in charge of the household affairs, so of course you think there's no difference! Look at what Shuangyu and the others have been forced into over the years. Isn't it only natural that we send them some small amount of money as child support?!"
She cried, "What did you say at the beginning?! If that's all you said, I would never agree to take her in!
"Every day they say how much the patriarch dotes on her, but what about now? They used to take her out once a week or two, then once a month or two, and now it's been half a year. I think they just don't want her anymore!
"She was just an abandoned child, and you were so determined to pick her up!"
The anger on the man's face suddenly disappeared, and his whole face became tired and depressed. He sighed weakly, "Didn't you see that she was carrying a magic weapon? If she wasn't favored, why would she be given a magic weapon..."
"Do you believe what you're saying?!" the woman suddenly screamed, lowering her voice. "Then why don't people from the ancestral land come to look for her? They just drop a few things over here every year. What's the difference between that and the things upstairs?!"
The man said impatiently: "I have told you many times that the ancestral land will never give up on her."
"I won't give up, I won't give up. You told me she was favored, favored!" The woman's eyes widened. "In the end, she didn't benefit us at all, and she even made our family a mess. Send her away! With her here, no one can live in peace. Send her away tomorrow!"
The man suddenly threw her away with his backhand. "Impossible! I tell you, unless she leaves on her own, there's no way we're going to bring this up!"
His face was filled with anger, and he shouted in a low voice, "Look at what Shuangyu did today, she almost killed us all! We didn't just hide it, and now you dare to ask me to bring up such a thing?!!"
"Look, look at what a disaster you brought back!" The woman fell to the ground and cried, "Did Shuangyu do anything wrong?! If it weren't for her status, who would tolerate her? Everyone would want to strangle her to death!!"
She cried, and suddenly screamed at the top of her lungs:
"She is a disaster!!!"
