Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Profitable Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Profitable Loo Ping was a killjoy, “You guys really have too much free ti, even a na can turn into such a flowery discussion.”
“I say, Teacher Loo, do you have any dissatisfaction with Comrade Xiao Kang, the spouse of Professor Luo? You’d better not forget, your own husband works under Professor Luo.”
“Li Aiju, you and I have no grudges or grievances, why must you persist in picking a quarrel with today?”
Loo Ping was extrely aggravated, her face cold as she looked at the woman nad Li Aiju, who was the sa woman that had previously spoken for Kang Li and had accused Loo Ping of having hearing problems.
Wang Chan watched from the side with an unchanged expression, but internally she was quite annoyed with Loo Ping, her distant cousin. She frowned and said to both Loo Ping and Li Aiju, “Can you both talk less? It’s such a trivial matter, must you fuss over it like a cockfight, don’t you feel embarrassed?”
Having said that, Wang Chan turned around without even greeting Loo Ping, and walked towards her own ho.
…
The Wen’s family.
Su Man returned ho to see the three sisters Wen Yue playing together, having not listened to her instructions before she left to stay at ho and do their howork, which she had assigned. Well, the howork was assigned to Wen Yue and Wen Yi; as for the youngest among the three stepdaughters, who was only three years old and couldn’t even hold a pencil, she naturally wouldn’t make it difficult for the child.
“Wen Yue, Wen Yi, have you played enough?”
Already frustrated and suffocated, Su Man’s face couldn’t possibly look any better as she entered the living room, her face stern and brows furrowed as she looked at the two sisters Wen Yue and Wen Yi, “What did I say just before I left, you’ve forgotten?”
Wen Yue and Wen Yi sat up straight, but both sisters kept their heads down, no one daring to look at Su Man, their stepmother.
Wen Yu was the third child, and although she was young, she could also read the room. The little girl, seeing her stepmother getting angry, was so scared that her eyes instantly filled with tears, sitting completely still on her little stool.
“Thinking that you are still young, I haven’t been too strict with you, but no matter how much you play, you should at least complete the howork I assign you every day. But what have you done? You agree so readily with your words, but your actions do completely the opposite. Do you think in your hearts that I’m harming you?”
If it weren’t for knowing that these three costly children would one day achieve great things, she would never have been so patient, allowing them to act out in front of her, and outside, to address her as ‘stepmother’.
Yet people’s patience has its limits. Since she married into this family, she had indeed toned down her temper, speaking to the three sisters in soft and gentle words, not insisting they call her ‘mom’ and letting them address her however they wished, believing that as long as she could clear her conscience, they would eventually recognize her kindness and willingly call her ‘mom’.
Because she wasn’t in a hurry, she had all the ti to wait.
But this didn’t an she had to tolerate them endlessly!
Especially if they didn’t take her earnest goodwill seriously.
“There’s a saying: ‘A youth not spent in diligence will end in an old age filled with regret.’ Wen Yue, Wen Yi, don’t you want to be like your dad one day, to make great contributions to our country?
Don’t you want to be the best students in class, liked by the teachers and classmates? Wen Yue, you and Wen Yi, one six and the other five, are about to start school. I’m going to make myself clear. If you don’t want to be fools, disliked by teachers, and ridiculed by classmates, then just ignore my words. Play however you want to!”
As her voice fell, Su Man went straight into the master bedroom.
She shut the door with a flick of her hand and sat on the edge of the bed, furiously pounding the pillow twice to vent the irritation and suffocation in her heart.
Her biological parents, who seed to love her, had shortchanged her in her dowry.
