Xiao Lei listened to his mother's comfort and cried even harder. His tear-stained shoulders trembled and he hiccuped. "Mom, it's all my fault for being so stupid that grandma scolded you."
If he were as smart as his cousins, grandma wouldn't scold his mother.
Jiang Xiu'e listened to her son's comfort, wiped away her bitter tears, took a deep breath, and felt so angry when she thought of the past.
"Don't worry about your grandma. She's just an old fool. The last person she has the right to scold is you. Back then, she didn't want to go to work, so she forced me, who had just finished my confinement, to earn work points. She didn't take good care of you, and she withheld all the living expenses your dad sent back. She refused to pay for your medical treatment, causing you to have a high fever at home and become mentally ill."
She could tolerate any way the old lady treated her, but she couldn't tolerate her children being treated badly.
Her poor son.
When she was in confinement, her family brought chickens to her, and the old lady killed them all and gave them to her other two sons' families.
Poor girl, she didn't even see a chicken bone. She was still waiting to eat the chicken and drink the soup to supplement her nutrition, and save her milk for her son, without caring about the life or death of their eldest wife at all.
She couldn't understand how there could be such a cruel grandmother in the world.
Since the old lady dared to despise her son without mercy, she should not blame herself for not giving her some face and pouring out all the ugly things that happened in the past.
"mom……"
"That's it. If she dares to call you stupid again, Mom will definitely not tolerate her."
Xiao Lei shook his head. He didn't want his grandparents to quarrel, which was not a good idea, as his dad was caught in the middle.
Every time he saw his mother and grandmother quarrel, his parents would not speak to each other for several days, and the brother and sister would be terrified at home.
He promised Jiang Xiu'e, "Mom, I will study hard and become smarter, better than my cousins and the others, so that grandma will look at me with new eyes and stop scolding me."
Jiang Xiu'e touched her son's head. The silly son shook his head gently but did not say anything. The child was still young and did not understand that no matter how outstanding she was, the old lady would not like her. The old lady always looked down on her and thought she was not worthy of Guo Xiangdong.
He often told her that Guo Xiangdong deserved the daughter of a high-ranking military officer who was well-educated and could help Guo Xiangdong's career...
Instead of her, an uneducated rural girl who can't help at all.
The old lady is always having wild ideas. She doesn't even look at her family. Twelve mouths are waiting for Guo Xiangdong to feed them. Would the daughter of a senior military officer look down on their family?
Xiao Lei clenched his fists, full of fighting spirit, "I have to do my homework and study hard."
He pushed the quilt and pillow to the foot of the bed, sat at the head of the bed, opened the books and exercise books on the cabinet, picked up the pen and started doing his homework.
It's a good thing that Jiang Xiu'e doesn't stop her child from being motivated, but she doesn't have any hope. The doctors said that the child's brain has been burned for too long and it cannot be cured, so this is the only way.
Some things are determined by nature and cannot be changed by nurture. So what if you stay up late and study hard?!
She sat in a chair and looked up at the ceiling with a sad face.
Tears gradually welled up in my eyes, and my mind recalled the bitter past. Although more than ten years have passed, it is still deeply engraved in my heart like a knife.
Two lines of tears slid down silently. She wiped them away gently, but a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
My silly son, what should I do in the future?
Realizing her own loss of composure, she quickly wiped away her tears and looked at her son who was studying hard.
He never put down his pen, writing so fast that I don't know what he was writing.
In the past, Xiao Lei would hold a pen and think for a long time without writing a single word. He almost wrote "I don't know these three words" on his face.
I can't use a pencil in a month.
When her daughter was in elementary school, she would use up to five pencils in a month.
Jiang Xiu'e saw her writing quickly and frowned, "Xiao Lei, Mom knows you want to study hard but you can't write randomly. Let's take it slowly. Do it right first and then go fast. It won't work if you write randomly.
Mom heard that repeating a grade can improve your grades if you can't learn. How about we repeat the grade and go to the third grade next year? Then you and Xiaoxuan will be in the same class and you can be good friends. I heard that his grades are improving very quickly. You can study with him and make progress together."
Xiao Lei didn't know what was going on. He always felt that the questions were very simple, as if he knew all of them. They were not difficult at all. Questions that he could not solve before, he could solve at a glance, as if he had suddenly gotten the hang of it.
"Mom, let's take a look. I think these questions are pretty easy. There are a lot of them. I want to see how I do on the final exam before making a decision. If I'm still last, then I'll have to repeat the grade."
Jiang Xiu'e was dumbfounded. She never thought that one day in her lifetime she would hear her son say that he could do the questions, and they were very simple?
"You can do it? You are lying to mom."
"Well, I just don't know if it's right."
"Show it to Mom."
Jiang Xiu'e took her homework and books to read.
"Mom can only look at some simple ones, son. If there are brackets, calculate the brackets first, then calculate multiplication and division, and then addition and subtraction. I got the same answer, and it seems that all these addition and subtraction are correct." Jiang Xiu'e's hands trembled as she held the homework book, her eyes full of disbelief.
So this snake bite was a blessing in disguise???
Jiang Xiu'e suddenly remembered that she had asked someone to tell her son's fortune. The fortune told her son would accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and when the time is right, he would meet a noble person, and he would be like a dragon that would have clouds and rain, and he would not be a fish kept in a pond.
So the Yunye that the master was talking about was the poisonous snake or Li Jiyue?
Can snake venom cure stupidity?
This shouldn't be the case. So many people have died from being bitten by poisonous snakes. If it weren't for my son's good luck, he would have died long ago.
The only variable is Li Jiyue. Did she cure Xiaolei?
So Xiaolei’s benefactor is Li Jiyue.
