Feng Lin: "Don’t you know in your heart whether you’re going too far?"
Lying down in his place, Feng Lin sighed: "Go comfort the child, don’t let it be like mother and daughter are enemies." At this point, he couldn’t help but think of his younger son Feng Yi, so he ntioned: "Feng Yi has been away from ho for many years now, completely like a kite with a broken string, we don’t even know where he’s gone, don’t you... regret it?"
"Why bring up what’s best left unsaid, just go to sleep, I’ll go check on that dead girl!"
Getting out of bed and putting on slippers, Fang Su left the bedroom.
"Knock knock knock!"
Knocking on Xu Chunxia’s room door, Fang Su spoke with impatience: "If you’re not asleep, open the door."
"... Mom."
Xu Chunxia opened the door, her eyes swollen and red, looking at Fang Su and called out.
"Feeling wronged?"
Fang Su walked into the room, hearing Xu Chunxia close the door, she sat on a chair, brows furrowed, and stared at Xu Chunxia: "I said you haven’t made progress, think carefully, do you think I’m wrong?"
Xu Chunxia kept her head down, silent.
"I’ve told you more than once, in your spare ti, read more books, look up words you don’t know in the dictionary, or ask the other teachers around you for help, this way your temperant will develop gradually, but did you really listen to ?
Sa piece of clothing, on other girls, it looks good and complents their temperant, but on you, no matter how you look, it seems rustic. What does this an? It ans you lack knowledge, it shows your cultural level is low!"
In fact, Fang Su was just taking her frustration out on her; her real annoyance was with Lawyer Wang for not bringing Jiang Boya to her, yet she was too proud to let the family know her hidden thoughts, so she could only vent on her stepdaughter Xu Chunxia.
After a barrage of complaints, Fang Su took a deep breath and asked Xu Chunxia: "Have you heard the saying ’a well-read woman is naturally graceful’?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Chunxia responded off-topic: "I have been reading."
"If you’ve been reading, why don’t we see any improvent in your temperant?"
Fang Su looked exasperated: "You used to tell how Kang Li looked down on you, what qualities do you have that can compare with her? If you’re not as good as others in every aspect, isn’t it normal for them to look down on you?"
"Kang Libao was sent to school by her parents at six, while I had to gather pigweed every day... They always scolded as a useless girl, didn’t even let eat my fill, and made a new dress for only every two or three years. Whenever they heard say I wanted to go to school, they’d hit until I was almost dead, saying why don’t I go to heaven instead..."
Tears rolled down her eyes, Xu Chunxia held back her sobs and said: "I know the importance of studying, that’s why I always seize every opportunity to ask village children attending school to teach words, but I also have to earn work points, so I’ve learned fewer words."
"Enough! Why are you crying?! If it weren’t for your own good, would I get angry every ti I see your disgraceful appearance?"
Fang Su’s eyes were full of impatience, she took a deep breath, forcing her tone to sound softer, saying: "You have to understand that as long as a person’s temperant is good,
even if they aren’t very pretty, wearing suitable clothes will still give off a striking impression. Yet no matter how I teach you, you just don’t get it, how could I not be anxious and frustrated? Leilei, you must rember,
no matter how harshly mom speaks to you, it’s all for your benefit, now listen carefully, about Kang Li, although I really dislike her, I have to admit,
