Chapter 18 Too Uneducated
Li Wenting's facial features are average, but she is tall, fair-skinned, and dresses better than others, so she is still quite eye-catching among a group of girls. This is also what Qin Lan has always been proud of, thinking that her daughter has outstanding temperament.
But she is afraid of comparison in everything. Now that Xiaoxi, who is outstanding in appearance, is wearing the same clothes in front of her, Qin Lan can't deceive herself.
In fact, the clothes that Li Wenting wore yesterday were much more eye-catching on Xiaoxi than on Li Wenting.
Just when Qin Lan was in a trance, she was interrupted by Li Wenting's voice: "Mom, do I look good in this dress?"
Qin Lan hurriedly smiled and said, "Our Tingting looks good in a skirt at any time."
"Mom, can you give me this skirt? I can exchange the clothes I wore yesterday with her." Li Wenting pulled Qin Lan's hand and acted coquettishly.
Qin Lan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Tingting's previous clothes were better than Xiaoxi's own clothes, and they looked good on her, and Tingting smiled a little because of this, so she changed them, "Okay, you and Xiaoxi will change."
Xiaoxi, who was notified to change clothes, looked up at Qin Lan, then lowered her head and continued to wash clothes: "No need to change."
Qin Lan's heart skipped a beat, why was Xiaoxi so difficult to talk to. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Xiaoxi continue, "This set of clothes is enough for me."
Qin Lan opened her mouth, a little embarrassed for a moment, "Then, you don't have any change of clothes."
"I can wear my old clothes."
Qin Lan went back to the house embarrassedly. She suddenly remembered that she didn't buy pajamas for Xiaoxi, so she thought about giving her pajamas to Xiaoxi, since she had a lot of pajamas anyway.
She told Xiaoxi about this while she was hanging clothes in the corridor. Xiaoxi was not a person who cared about these things. She didn't have any pajamas to wear in the past, so she hummed. But she made up her mind not to wear her pajamas, in case she wanted to go back one day.
After hanging up the clothes, she was about to go back to her room to read a book when she saw Li Wenting holding the plaid dress and walking up to her. She looked at her provocatively and pushed the dress in front of her: "Mom told you to wash the clothes."
Xiaoxi was not as tall as Li Wenting. She looked up at her and said word by word: "You have hands and feet, wash your own clothes."
Then she turned around and went upstairs.
Li Wenting stayed where she was. She didn't expect Xiaoxi to react like this. From yesterday to today, in her opinion, Xiaoxi had always been submissive, so she dared to treat Xiaoxi like this. She bit her lip and shouted at Xiaoxi's back: "If you don't wash, I will tell Mom." Just now, she
ran to Qin Lan who was preparing lunch and said that she was going to wash clothes, but Qin Lan didn't let her, saying that she had never washed clothes before and the weather was so hot, so she should not get heatstroke. Thinking that Xiaoxi was washing clothes, she said, let Xiaoxi help wash clothes together.
Li Wenting thought she had taken the imperial sword, but Xiaoxi went upstairs without looking back.
Li Wenting stared at Xiaoxi's back blankly, turned around and was about to walk to the kitchen, but she didn't see the small stool next to her, and was tripped by the stool and fell heavily to the ground.
After a short daze, Li Wenting looked at her scraped knee, which was bleeding. She felt the pain and cried.
Qin Lan, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, ran out in a hurry: "What happened? What happened?"
Li Wenting's first reaction was to complain to Qin Lan, crying and pointing upstairs and said: "Mom, she, she doesn't help me wash clothes. She doesn't listen to you."
"And then she pushed you down?"
Li Wenting was stunned for a moment, and after struggling in her heart, she nodded.
Qin Lan saw that she was furious and helped Li Wenting sit on the sofa. She took out the red medicine and wiped Li Wenting.
Xiaoxi, who returned to the room, didn't know what happened behind her. She closed the door and leaned against it, tears flowing down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground.
Xiaoxi wiped her tears while thinking that she was getting more and more useless. It's just that the clothes that were originally given to her were taken back, and it's just that she was asked to help others wash clothes. What's there to cry about? In the past, Wang Juhua's family washed their own clothes, and they wore other people's hand-me-downs. Now they have food to eat, books to read, and a nice room. What else can they be dissatisfied with?
Could it be that because my mother took me shopping for clothes this morning, I have developed unnecessary expectations of my mother? Are you jealous that my mother treats Li Wenting better? Well, wake up. You might as well read more books with this time.
After Xiaoxi thought about it, her mood was miraculously calmed down. She shook her wrinkled clothes. She
sat down at the desk, took a deep breath, opened the Dream of the Red Chamber on the desk, and forced herself to read. Before she could read a line of words, the door was suddenly slammed open.
Xiaoxi was startled and looked back, only to see Qin Lan coming towards her angrily, "What's wrong with you? It's fine if you don't help Tingting wash clothes, but how could you push Tingting down? You were so cruel, her knee was bleeding. You were sitting here reading a book as if nothing had happened. It turns out that children who didn't grow up by your side are different. How could you be so mean?"
Xiaoxi was stunned by what Qin Lan said, but she quickly grabbed Qin Lan. The key words in the conversation, "I didn't push her down. She asked me to help her wash clothes, but I refused. Then I went upstairs, and I didn't even touch the corner of her clothes during the whole process."
Qin Lan saw Xiaoxi's unapologetic look, and her anger burned even more, "You didn't push her down, did she fall down by herself? And then framed you? Tingting is not like you, she has never been a lying child."
Xiaoxi stared at Qin Lan quietly for dozens of seconds. Then she went straight downstairs and walked in front of Li Wenting who was still crying. Qin Lan also followed Xiaoxi, as if she was afraid that she would run away.
When Qin Lan came closer, Xiaoxi asked Li Wenting: "Tell your mother that I pushed you down just now?"
Li Wenting was already feeling guilty, and when asked by such a powerful Xiaoxi, she cried even louder, "Mom".
"Why did you scare her?" Qin Lan hurried over and hugged Li Wenting.
Xiaoxi was so angry that she laughed, "Sure enough, you can raise a daughter like this, just as unreasonable and unreasonable."
With a slap.
Xiaoxi found that her face hurt, and it turned out that she was slapped. At that time, when Wang Juhua hit her, she knew to resist and dodge, but why did she become so dull in front of Qin Lan?
Xiaoxi touched her cheek, it was burning and painful, and the scar on her forehead that had not yet healed was also a little painful. She turned stiffly, walked slowly towards the stairs and went upstairs.
Li Wenting was also stunned, and forgot to cry for a moment, but there was a faint joy in her heart.
After Qin Lan's anger subsided, she looked at her palms blankly, which turned red, showing how hard she had just used. At this moment, her hands were also shaking.
"How uneducated! How can you say that about my mother?" Qin Lan didn't know whether she was talking to herself or Li Wenting.
