Chapter 379: Chapter 379: The Xia Family Is Not Yours Alone
Moreover, that good-looking big brother liked Asheng and bought him a lot of toys, so even from abroad.
One of them was a tin little robot that they wouldn’t even let anyone touch.
Xiao Gang was so mad that he wanted to go tattle, but Asheng wasn’t afraid and said to go ahead and tell, because Sister would only praise him for being cute once she found out.
Now that I think about it, it turned out just like that.
Song Yunuan really didn’t correct him, and Asheng was right to think so since they are real siblings after all.
Of course, this couldn’t be ntioned in front of Xique, nor could it be known by Asheng.
So, the evenhanded person Song Yunuan said, “Actually, there’s no difference, but if you like calling
Sister Little Nuan, then do so; I quite like hearing it.”
Xique stared blankly at Song Yunuan.
She even forgot her worries and sorrows.
Song Yunuan said, “The thod I told you about just now is pretty simple; it’s that you can’t treat your mom as a mom, you have to act like her teacher.
If she does sothing wrong, tell her off and scold her, we have to use kindness before resorting to force.”
With her mouth agape, Xique wondered, ‘Act as a teacher instead of a daughter?
Is that really possible?’
“For instance, if she lazes around all day and wanders everywhere, you need to criticize and educate her.
Rest assured, she won’t dare treat you like she used to.
You don’t need to be afraid of her; you’ve got your grandma and dad, plus , right?
And you also have your young uncle.
They’re all on your side, and you need to have her wash clothes, cook, and do housework.
You can’t be filial to your mom and not to your grandma, can you?”
Song Yunuan continued as they walked.
The grandma was getting old, still cooking for that beast, what a loss.
After thinking it over, Xique asked worriedly, “What if she doesn’t agree?”
“It’s okay if she doesn’t agree because I’ll take my grandma to the county town.
My place there still has heating, and it wouldn’t be so hard on grandma; my mom and I would have so relief too.
Otherwise, it’s just a short while into the good days for grandma, and you bring that ancestress back ho.
It’s a good thing my mom and I know your character; otherwise, we would suspect that you’re intentionally causing trouble for grandma.”
Xique cried again.
“I didn’t an to.
I really regret it now.
I thought she could change for the better.
She seed so pitiful while crying, saying that if I didn’t save her or speak for her, she couldn’t go on living.
She even said if I ignored her, she would hang herself at our house’s front door.
I was really scared at the ti.
What if she really went through with it?
But I didn’t expect her to be that hateful, revealing her true nature after moving in, still trying to act like she used to…”
Song Yunuan told her, “Stop crying, your tears won’t solve any problems.
When you were threatened by her, you should have gone back and talked to your grandma and your dad.
The Xia family isn’t just yours; you don’t have the right to make decisions for them yet.
You need to ask for their opinion, and if they agree, you can go ahead with your decisions.
You’re still not of age, and you still rely on your grandma and dad to support you.
I’ve also heard that you knelt on the ground and begged, pleading with your tears.
Aren’t you stabbing your grandma’s heart with a knife?
She’s invested so much in raising you, yet it’s not worth a few crocodile tears from your birth mom.
And your dad, he was hurt by your mom; he’s innocent, but Whang Xiaoman insisted on a divorce, even threatening you all with rat poison.
It hasn’t been that long; you shouldn’t forget…”
Xique blushed with sha and felt too embarrassed to enter her own house’s gate.
Song Yunuan stopped talking.
Too much is as bad as too little.
It was just right.
So she softened her tone, “Actually, I understand you; anyone in your shoes would feel caught in a dilemma.
But you have to wait until you’re financially capable.
By that ti, you can take her into your own ho and look after her as you please.”
Xique bit her lip.
She didn’t want this anymore, once was enough.
Grandma was right; a leopard can’t change its spots.
If Whang Xiaoman really wanted to repent wholeheartedly, she wouldn’t have acted the way she is now.
Grandma ntioned that she even dared to have designs on Sister Little Nuan.
Really shaless.
And that Erdan, so dull and with a bad temper, he simply isn’t worthy of Sister Little Nuan.
Her mom was getting arrogant again.
She doesn’t know her place anymore.
Moreover, since her maternal family is so great, why doesn’t she go back there?
She even ca to beg and threaten ?
Xique assured Song Yunuan that from now on, she would keep an eye on Whang Xiaoman.
Song Yunuan imdiately laughed and gave her a thorough round of praise.
Such encouragent and praise actually made Xique’s courage grow.
Song Yunuan struck while the iron was hot, not only encouraging her but also telling her how to deal with Whang Xiaoman, including what to say in rebuttal when she was being scolded.
The Xia family’s genes are really not bad; all these kids have good mories.
After being told only once, Xique rembered it.
If only Whang Xiaoman had co back and focused all her efforts on the Xia family and her daughter, truly making ands for her mistakes.
Over ti, those two softhearted people might have softened even further.
But she reverted to her old ways.
Albeit to a slightly lesser extent.
That is, she no longer dared to scold Zhu Feng and Xia Xinshan to their faces.
Aside from that, she remained the sa old self.
When Xique had just left with Song Yunuan earlier, she was still feeling unsettled and anxious.
But on the way back, after speaking what was on her mind, she felt as if she wasn’t as timid and desperate anymore.
No matter what, Grandma and Dad were on her side.
Upon entering the house, Xique saw Whang Xiaoman cracking sunflower seeds in her room, while Grandma was lying in her own.
Whang Xiaoman, frowning upon seeing Xique return, started to complain indirectly, “You lazy thing, where have you been running off to?
Not knowing to help out at ho even on your day off, always roaming around, you’re really getting worse and worse.
Go fetch firewood for cooking, and the clothes—they need to be washed while the weather’s good.
What are you standing around for?
Are you deaf?
Didn’t you hear what I said?
You lazy thing, all you do is lie down or run around playing, you’re really taking after your roots.”
Zhu Feng trembled with anger.
She sat up from her bed fuming, her gaze fierce towards the direction of the west room.
Then she put her shoes on and got off the bed.
She knew Xique had co back, but didn’t hear her speak.
The thought of chastising Whang Xiaoman was imdiately dismissed by Zhu Feng.
She was heartbroken; no matter how kind she was to Xique, it was useless.
That was Xique’s biological mother; even if she was beaten, scolded, or neglected by her, Xique’s heart was still with her biological mother.
What use was it for her to go out and scold Whang Xiaoman?
Wouldn’t that just offend Xique?
Zhu Feng’s tears were about to fall again when she suddenly rembered what Sister Little Nuan had said.
Sister Little Nuan told her to live happily, to do whatever she wanted, to scold whoever she liked, to beat whoever she wanted.
With her and her younger uncle’s support, they would take care of any dical expenses after a fight.
Those words were truly heartwarming.
The little old lady clenched her fists; she had slapped that wicked woman that day, and nothing much ca of it, did it?
Didn’t that woman still shalessly refuse to leave?
So, what was there to fear?
She didn’t bla Xique; it was her and Xinshan’s fault that Xique turned out this way.
When the child was bullied as a youngster, she always told her to just endure it a little longer.
Gradually, that beca her temperant.
Zhu Feng was about to go out and settle the score with Whang Xiaoman.
But then she heard her granddaughter’s voice, quivering yet resolute, “I agreed to let you co back because I saw how pitiful you were when you were beaten, giving you a temporary place to stay out of necessity.
But in fact, you and our Xia family have no relationship whatsoever!”
