Xiong also really likes Dong Qiaoxin.
The child's mother was not around, and she only had one son, so she naturally felt closer to the younger generation, Dong Qiaoxin, and wanted to take better care of her.
But this care must be within a reasonable range.
She is the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and has four branches of relatives. She can be close to her natal family, but she cannot even allow the child of her illegitimate sister to bypass the legitimate relatives of the Xiao family.
"Qiaoxin, your aunt thinks that if you really care about your brother, you should not interfere too much in his affairs. I will hire a powerful and strict teacher to correct his bad habits. In a few years, with his real ability and the support of his family, he will definitely have a bright future." Xiong said earnestly.
It’s okay for a ten-year-old child to be a little naughty, there is still a lot of time.
As long as you are willing to work hard, you can always change.
Dong Qiaoxin's pupils trembled: "Aunt? I, I just think there are better options... In the academy... I can make friends, in the future, in the future..."
"You are so inexperienced that I don't blame you for saying this, but you have to listen to my advice. Yes, the academy is full of talented people and you can make friends there, but making friends is not just about asking the other person to be nice to you. It's like getting married, you have to have people of equal social status or have similar talents, character, and interests! Look at how your brother looks now. Even if he makes a friend, what kind of friend will he be?" Xiong explained patiently.
"But seventh cousin..." Dong Qiaoxin was getting anxious. Seventh cousin was not a good person, so why should she let him go to the academy to make friends?
Xiong was so angry at her behavior that her heart was choked.
I see. It turns out she is comparing herself with her nephew in every way.
Xiong became much more indifferent and said seriously, "Do you think Xiao Qi is no better than Jin Ming? In fact, in your eyes, your seventh cousin is lazy and indulgent, and he is not a good person either?"
"Aunt, that's not what I meant..." Dong Qiaoxin said quickly.
"You don't have to explain. I understand. On the surface, your seventh cousin is indeed a jerk." Xiong sneered, "But no matter how jerk he is, there is one thing your brother can't match."
"That's family background."
"You think in your mind that Cunyu has lost both his parents and is helpless, but you haven't thought about the clan behind him? If your clan can be as strong as my Xiao family, then even if your brother is ignorant, there will still be people who support him."
"Even if Xiao Cunyu didn't have any talent, people of similar family background and age would still be willing to be his friends if he went to the academy. To put it bluntly, even if they were hanging out with a bunch of dandies, your seventh cousin would be the one being adored and wouldn't suffer any loss. Can your brother do the same? Would you be willing to let him follow behind others and serve them like a grandson?"
Xiong's words became more and more unpleasant.
I’m afraid Dong Qiaoxin doesn’t understand.
"Your father is unreliable, so you probably don't understand the meaning of legitimate blood. Cunyu's father is gone, but it doesn't mean he has no relatives. On the contrary, the other branches of the Xiao family have the responsibility and obligation to shoulder his future. He is not your uncle's son, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is no different from a biological son and will be protected by your uncle and other brothers for the rest of his life."
You even have to pamper him and love him more!
This is a direct relative. How can Dong Jinming, a distant relative, be the same?
This was the first time Xiong had spoken so bluntly, hoping it would wake Dong Qiaoxin up immediately so she wouldn't continue to be confused.
Dong Qiaoxin dressed up beautifully today, but it couldn't hide her current embarrassment.
