217 Chapter 216, Being Soft-hearted Is A Disease
The remaining tomatoes were only sold after one o’clock. The brother and sister tidied up the bamboo baskets on the ground, and Li Yong drove the tractor home.
The first thing Li Miao did when he got home was to run to the small store to share the good news with Li Xu.
“You don’t know that Shen Lingxue is like a little beggar now. How can she still have the arrogance of the past? I was angry when I thought about how she bullied Yuanyuan in the past! Looking at her now, really vents my anger!”
When Li Xu heard this, she sighed. “Alright, she’s still a child after all. Don’t gloat over her misfortune.”
“I say, Sister, are you pitying her? Have you forgotten what Shen Mei and her daughter did in the past?” Li Miao rolled her eyes angrily on the other end of the phone. “What’s there to pity about Shen Lingxue?”
“I’m not pitying her, it’s just…” But Li Xu sighed again, “I’m living quite happily now. Actually, I don’t hate them that much anymore. I just feel there’s no need to pay too much attention to their lives. We just need to live our own lives.”
“Alright, as long as you know.” Li Miao hung up the phone listlessly when she heard Li Xu’s words.
Li Xu shook her head helplessly when she heard the phone being hung up. Only then did she put down the receiver.
Ji Yuanyuan, who had been standing by the side, naturally heard Li Miao’s words.
She was the same as Li Miao. She knew that Shen Lingxue was not living well, and was quite happy in her heart.
She was not a person who repaid good with evil. But, someone who had hurt her must pay the price.
However, she looked at Li Xu from the corner of her eyes.
Li Xu’s expression was a little sad. There seemed to be some sympathy for Shen Lingxue between her brows.
Her mother was different from her. She was soft-hearted.
“Mom, do you feel pity for Shen Lingxue?” Ji Yuanyuan took the initiative to ask.
Li Xu was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously shook her head and retorted, “No. Why would Mom think that way?”
“I think that’s what you thought!” Ji Yuanyuan pursed her lips and said in a low voice.
It was past one o’clock in the afternoon. Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang were resting at home. Qin Mucheng had also gone home.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan did not have to worry about others when she spoke.
Li Xu was stunned when she heard Ji Yuanyuan’s words. She then carried her to her knees and said, “I admit that there is a little, but sympathy is sympathy, I won’t do anything about it!”
Even if Shen Lingxue stood in front of her now, she would at most glance at her and sigh, but would not do anything about it.
“That might not be the case. You already sympathize even before you see her. If you see her, you might not think like you do now.” Ji Yuanyuan raised her eyes and glanced at her.
Being soft-hearted was a disease that needed to be treated!
Shen Lingxue was not a kind person!
Li Xu was a little surprised when she heard her daughter’s words. However, she had to admit that what her daughter said was right.
“Mother, Teacher has always taught us to distinguish between good and evil. Good people will indeed be soft-hearted, but soft-hearted people have to distinguish who it’s for.” Ji Yuanyuan’s expression was serious, “If the person who is soft-hearted is wrong, do you know what this is called?”
Li Xu shook her head and humbly asked, “What is it called?”
“This is called the Holy Mother!”
When she heard this word, Li Xu could not help but laugh. “Where did you learn these words?”
“To be soft-hearted towards those who should be is called kindness. To be soft-hearted towards those who should not be is called the Holy Mother. She can not distinguish right from wrong and can not distinguish between good and evil!”
Li Xu nodded thoughtfully. After a long while, she said, “Yes, what you said makes sense.”
Ji Yuanyuan’s words were a little profound, but if the words were not, then it would be better not to say them.
Since Shen Mei got into a car accident, she realized her mother was too soft-hearted.
After Ji Yuanyuan said this, she did not speak anymore and snuggled into Li Xu’s arms.
Li Xu hugged her, but her thoughts were a little messy.
Yuanyuan was right. She seemed to be too soft-hearted. She recalled what Shen Mei and Shen Lingxue did to them back then.
Yuanyuan was only a six or seven-year-old child, but at that time, when had Shen Mei ever been soft-hearted towards Yuanyuan?
A moment later, Li Xu seemed to have finally figured it out.
She gently shook her head and chased Shen Lingxue’s figure out of her mind.
Then, she asked softly, “Are you sleepy? How about Mommy send you home to sleep for a while?”
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head. “I’ll go to the space to rest for a while.”
She jumped down from Li Xu’s lap and walked into the bathroom. After closing the bathroom door, she entered the space.
Lying on the simple bed in the space, JI Yuanyuan was very sleepy, but her mind was very clear. She could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
She remembered the things in her past life.
Shen Mei must have known about the things Shen Lingxue did to her.
When had the mother and daughter ever been soft-hearted towards her? So why? Why should they be soft-hearted towards Shen Lingxue?
Thinking back to the events of her past life, Ji Yuanyuan wished that Shen Lingxue could live as miserably as possible.
With this thought in mind, Ji Yuanyuan gradually fell asleep.
After sleeping more than an hour, Ji Yuanyuan finally came out of the space.
However, in Li Xu’s view, Ji Yuanyuan had only left for about ten minutes.
Li Xu could not help but sigh. The practical value of her daughter’s space was really too high.
..
In the blink of an eye, it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Li Xu and the few children tidied up neatly and carried everything from home to the little tricycle.
After leaving the house, they went to Qin Junshan first.
They might be back a few days after the new year, so they thought of visiting Qin Junshan before the New Year.
The three children had troubled Qin Junshan a lot in the past six months.
The atmosphere of the new year was already there on the street. It was cold and deserted.
When they reached Qin Junshan’s house, Li Xu and Zhang Kun carried the things into the house.
“Sister Yuanyuan!” Qin Mucheng first called Ji Yuanyuan, then greeted the others, “Hello, Uncle and Auntie!”
Li Xu smiled and nodded. She put down the things in her hands and asked, “Shuqin and the others haven’t come yet?”
After more than a year of letters and phone contact, Li Xu and Cheng Shuqin’s relationship was getting better and better.
Now, they didn’t call each other Big Sisters anymore. Since they were about the same age, they called each other by name.
Qin Junshan shook his head with a bitter smile. “The company is busy, and business is not good this year. The two of them will only arrive tomorrow afternoon. They said that they could only stay here for two days and must go back on the second day of the New Year.”
“Are you going home?” Qin Mucheng asked with some disappointment.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. “We are going to Grandpa and Grandma’s house for the New Year.”
“When will you come back? I will go and play with you!” Qin Mucheng forced himself to get up and asked.
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head. “I don’t know. Maybe I’ll stay for a few more days.”
Hearing this, Qin Mucheng wanted to smile, but he couldn’t squeeze out a smile.
