Chapter 238 - To Accept The Shortcomings of Your Parents? (子不嫌母丑?)
To Accept The Shortcomings of Your Parents? (子不嫌母丑?)
In fact, it wasn’t just Jing Ming Kai and Jing Ling who was curious. Wang Xin Fang also wanted to know what Jing Yun Zhao carried by her side every day.
Every time Wang Xin Fang saw Jing Yun Zhao, she would see her carrying the same bag. Moreover, when Jing Yun Zhao came into the house, Wang Xin Fang offered to carry her bag, but Jing Yun Zhao only rejected her while smiling, as if no one but her could touch the bag.
Jing Yun Zhao already expected this and acted as if she didn’t hear them.
This bag acted as her smokescreen. Every time she wanted to take something out of her space, she would use her bag as a diversionary tactic. In reality, the bag only contained a few items to fool people.
‘Pa’, Jing Ming Kai slammed his chopsticks on the table, “I don’t want to eat, I want to see what Big Sis is hiding in her bag!”
“ Xiao Ming, stop causing a scene…” Wang Xin Fang was helpless against her son.
“I’m not causing a scene! Dad, Mom, you guys clearly bought something good for her and didn’t want to let us know. You both previously said that she was so pitiful after being abandoned, but how is she pitiful? Look at us and then look at her! The clothes she is wearing are better than us, moreover, she’s able to wantonly spend your money to buy things. You don’t even treat me that generously! Since you guys are willing to treat her so good, why even let me continue to go to school? Just save the school fees and give it to Big Sis!” Jing Minh Kai whined.
Hearing what he said, Wang Xin Fang’s face became deathly pale.
Her son never liked to study. Ever since he was young his results were always bad, and convincing him to go to school was like convincing someone to run into oncoming traffic every day. If he’s already being so difficult without any valid reason, then what about now? Would he use this incident as an excuse to drop out of school?
As for his daughters, it wasn’t a problem even if they didn’t go to school. After all, they’d be wedded out in the future. If they were to spend too much money on them now, they would just be spending money on other people, but a son is different. He is the only treasure in the entire family, they needed him to go to school and learn a trade, so he could provide for them in the future!
To the side, Jing Tie Jun’s face finally had a change in expression after being influenced by Jing Ming Kai’s tantrum.
“Xiao Yun ah…you see how much your little brother wants to look at your bag. It’s not like you’ll lose anything precious, so just let him take a peek, alright?” Wang Xin Fang finally gave in to Jing Ming Kai’s demands.
Jing Yun Zhao laughed sarcastically. It was as she expected.
Sure enough, if they already acted like this on the first day, I can’t imagine how they would act like in the future.
Jing Ming Kai just needed to open his mouth, and this family’s daughters would have to suffer a loss.
“Looking at it this way, I don’t think you guys can push all the blame on the Jing family’s grandmother on the fact that you guys prioritise males over females right? Aunty Wang, for the first time I’m stepping in through the doors of your house, and rather than a family member, I came as a guest. If you would treat a guest like this, then how would you treat me if I actually became part of your family in the future? You want me to be a ‘filial sister’, but wouldn’t I just be a round-the-clock servant in all but name? Today I have to give my bag, then what about tomorrow? Give you money? Or do I have to give you the rest of my life?” Jing Yun Zhao said with raised eyebrows, too lazy to deal with them seriously.
Her temper was already bad, the fact that she had to endure everything in her previous life meant it was impossible for her to endure anymore in this lifetime!
If her relatives were like this, she would rather be by herself.
“How could you speak to my mom like that?! Moreover, to also call her ‘Aunty Wang’, you clearly don’t treat us as your family!” Jing Ling immediately raised her voice and scolded.
“Someone who suddenly appeared and claimed to be your parents, if you were in my place, could you instantly call her mom? Especially with a mom like this?” Jing Yun Zhao’s frigid voice retorted.
One should accept the shortcomings and mistakes of their parents, but there should still be a time and place to do so.
Although Ye Qin treated her badly, she had already passed away. She wouldn’t be alive right now without Ye Qin, so although she resented the Qiao family in her heart, she still had a sliver of respect towards Ye Qin. However, Wang Xin Fang was different.
Although they were blood related, there were no memories of Wang Xin Fang raising her, only feelings of resentment left over after being abandoned.
Moreover, with how they prioritise males over females, how could she have any familial love for them so quickly?
