"grandfather."
Facing An Jingzhi's bright eyes, An Xiaotao smiled awkwardly.
An Jingzhi said with a straight face, "Stop smiling at me."
"He's not young anymore, and he's already learned to tell tales."
An Xiaotao pleaded, "Grandpa, I really don't want to wash the dishes anymore."
An Jingzhi looked at him calmly, "Do you feel embarrassed?"
An Xiaotao nodded and said awkwardly, "I'm the only man there."
An Jingzhi said: "Do you feel embarrassed when spending money?"
“Do you think it’s ugly when you play games on the tablet that your parents worked so hard to buy for you to study?”
"Do you feel embarrassed when you use your pocket money to go out for dinner with your classmates?"
An Jingzhi's three questions silenced An Xiaotao, and his head lowered lower and lower.
An Jingzhi didn't want to give him any kind of education on suffering or guilt.
I just want this grandson, who was severely harmed by the original owner in his previous life, to establish correct values.
In the previous life, the original owner sent An Xiaotao to work during the summer vacation because he wanted to save as much as he could so that he could make a fortune when he encountered such a good investment opportunity next time.
Of course, there are also some people who want to take revenge on An Hongwei and his wife.
Even if this was his own grandson, it was not surprising for a selfish person like the original owner to have such thoughts.
Just as Zhou Shulan said, An Xiaotao is in adolescence and has a strong sense of self-esteem. Being assigned a summer job is not the most uncomfortable thing for him. What makes him uncomfortable is that he has to wash dishes in the kitchen with a group of middle-aged women and be teased.
The original owner not only turned a blind eye to his pleas, but instead intensified his suppression of his spirit and belittled An Xiaotao's abilities.
Children of this age are the most rebellious. In a fit of anger, they simply stopped working and studied at home every day, but they had to endure the ridicule of the original owner. They didn't learn much at all, fell into self-doubt, and their grades got worse and worse, entering a vicious cycle. Playing games became their main activity.
With such indulgence, her academic performance declined with no room for improvement. Zhou Shulan quarreled with An Hongwei several times because of this matter and finally got divorced.
Because An Xiaotao caused his parents to divorce due to his own affairs, he became even more self-destructive and was despised by the original owner, who said that it was because of his lack of success that his parents divorced. Finally, he could not bear the mental pressure and committed suicide at the age of eighteen.
Most of the consequences for An Xiaotao were caused by the original owner, which indirectly shows that An Xiaotao's spirit is not strong enough.
Looking at An Xiaotao, who lowered his head in shame after just three sentences, An Jingzhi continued:
"Grandpa isn't telling you this to teach you that you shouldn't spend money, shouldn't have dinner together, and shouldn't enjoy yourself."
An Xiaotao looked up in surprise.
"Grandpa wants to tell you that face is worthless in the face of life. Putting too much emphasis on face will only restrict your hands and feet."
"Only by letting go of your pride can you make more money. Once you make enough money, someone will naturally help you regain your pride. Washing dishes in the kitchen with a group of women is the first step to letting go of your pride."
He reached out and patted An Xiaotao on the shoulder. "Do you think Grandpa is deliberately tormenting you because he really wants your wages for washing dishes?"
An Xiaotao nodded hesitantly.
The impression the original owner left on him can only be described in three words: greedy for money.
An Jingzhi's face was stern, as if his sincerity had been misplaced. "Go back and think about why you feel embarrassed washing dishes among a group of middle-aged women."
An Xiaotao said guiltily: "Grandpa, I was wrong. I shouldn't think of you like this."
An Jingzhi waved his hand and said, "Think about it carefully. When you have figured it out, tell me whether you still want to wash the dishes."
After easily tricking the man away, An Jingzhi walked out with his hands behind his back.
The original owner had never suffered any hardship in his life.
When I was young, I had my parents to take care of me. When I grew up, I still had my parents to take care of me. Even after my mother passed away, my father still took care of me.
When his father can no longer work, he will still have a son and daughter-in-law to support him in his old age.
Even his son was raised by his father.
He is almost sixty years old and has never had a job. You can imagine how much the original owner's father doted on him.
The original owner caused his son to be separated from his wife and children, and his father died due to the trauma of his grandson's suicide.
Just for his grandson's little summer salary, he took revenge on his son and daughter-in-law by depriving him of an opportunity to be cheated, causing his family to be broken up.
An Hongwei only saw An Xiaotao's diary after An Xiaotao's death. Every page was filled with his pain.
[July 10th, sunny.]
Grandpa said I can't even wash dishes properly, so I'll definitely be a failure like my dad. What's wrong with being like my dad?
[October 15th, cloudy.]
I feel like studying is getting harder and harder. I fell ten places on this test. Could it be true what Grandpa said? Am I just wasting my time studying?
[December 13th, cloudy.]
I ranked last in this month's exam. What Grandpa said is true. I'm a loser, wasting my parents' money every day. I don't want to play games, but what else can I do besides playing games? I can't do anything well.
On March 5th, Grandpa said my parents were arguing about my grades again.
On April 27th, my parents divorced. My grandfather said it was all because I was a failure. I've been studying hard, but I really can't concentrate. I can't muster the energy to do anything. Only playing games can make me feel alive...
September 10th, today is the seventh day of my insomnia. I can't sleep every day. I feel like I'm sick.
After reading it, An Hongwei burst into tears and hated himself for not discovering his son's condition earlier.
He also hated the original owner. An Xiaotao's gradual decline was inseparable from the original owner's instigation.
