There is a dining table for six in the kitchen. The Zhang family eats in the dining room, and the aunts eat in the kitchen.
Aunt Wang came late, so the others had already eaten.
âWhat took you so long?â someone said.
âKe! Such a lying b*tch. Master had a terrible temper and scolded his wife so much. Madam packed up a pile of clothes to throw away, and asked me to go up and help her. I didnât think it was a big pile of clothes, but I still want to check them to pick something that I can wear at work. But at first glance, they are all halternecks, backless, or would even show your belly⊠How can I wear those at work?â
Everyone was amused.
Liang Yingying went downstairs to eat, wrapped like a nun, her eyes were a little red, and her face was tight.
Zhang Huan only glanced at her and said, âItâs good for you to dress like that from now on.â
Liang Yingying already knew that Zhang Yansheng had made the complaint, so her heart itched with hatred.
The stupid daughter, whom she gave birth to, also said: âMom, you look good in that style.â
Liang Yingying was angry from her heart, raising her hand to follow the silly girlâs head. But Zhang Yanshengâs cold gaze flew over and cut off her mind.
The expression in her eyes was clearly saying, âTry hitting her.â
Zhang Huan also frowned at her.
Liang Yingying felt cold in her heart, rubbed Zhang Helingâs head stiffly with her raised hand, and said angrily, âEat your meal.â
Zhang Huan turned his head and asked Zhang Shuocheng, âIs Shuoshuo naughty today?â
Zhang Shuocheng said loudly: âNo! I finished my homework in the morning! My eldest sister said that I can play casually in the afternoon! Second sister also lent me her game console, and I said thank you to her!â
When Zhang Huan heard this, he felt that his children were harmonious and his young son was sensible, which made people happy. He opened his mouth and wanted to exaggerate Shuocheng, but Liang Yingying interrupted coldly: âWhy do sister and brother have to say âthank youâ to each other? Do you really have to receive some gratitude for letting your younger brother play your game console?â
She was now staring at Zhang Heling. In a habit, Zhang Heling bows her head and shrinks her neck.
The harmonious atmosphere of siblings and the whole family was ruined just like that.
Zhang Huan: ââŠâ
Zhang Yansheng didnât bear the responsibility of educating an adult. She didnât say anything, only sneered.
Zhang Huanâs face was feverish with anger, so he scolded Liang Yingying: âShut up, what nonsense are you talking about?! Is there such a way of teaching children?â
He quickly touched Zhang Shuochengâs head again: âShuoshuo did the right thing. Whether at home or outside, you have to be polite.â
Liang Yingying lost face in front of the children, and she felt angry and bitter. She really didnât know how she was wrong. Why did Zhang Huan always dislike her today? Hasnât she already stated that she will change the way she dresses?
She thought bitterly, tomorrow she will buy a cabinet of old auntâs clothes to show him!
He is the one who obviously likes her to dress sexy! Now, heâs pretending to be proper again!
Zhang Huan said to Zhang Shuocheng: âWell, letâs lift the punishment for you in advance and let your mother take out your game console for you.â
Zhang Shuocheng refused it: âI donât want that. I want a new one. Second sister has a new model.â
Liang Yingying asked Zhang Heling in surprise: âWhere did you get the new model?â
Zhang Heling swallowed a mouthful of rice: âSister bought it for me.â
She paused and said, âSister also opened a card for me, so I will have pocket money in the future.â
Liang Yingying was on fire at this time. She didnât dare to scold Zhang Yansheng directly and only dared to scold Zhang Heling: âWhat pocket money does this familyâs child want? Is there a shortage of food for you at home or is there a shortage of clothes for you to wear? Why are you so ignorant, whatâs wrong with taking money improperly? Dad works so hard, ah, do you know that? You really donât understand anything!â
Zhang Yansheng watched Zhang Heling with tears in her eyes.
Zhang Yansheng was also angry from her heart.
She used to quarrel with Liang Yingying, but with no effect. She took a breath, tried to suppress her anger, stretched out her hand, and rubbed Zhang Helingâs head and whispered, âDonât cry.â
Not to mention that itâs okay, Zhang Heling was wronged in the past, so she just endured it by herself.
Suddenly there is such a person who can see her grievances, treat her well, and comfort her. How can she bear that grievance?
Two drops of Zhang Helingâs tears dropped.
Zhang Huan just thought that this little daughter was cute and likable, but now crying after getting scolded by Liang Yingying. Zhang Huan also became angry. âWhat are you yelling about! Canât we just have a good meal?â He said angrily, âLook, you scared the child.â
He coaxed Zhang Heling again: âHehe is a good girl, letâs ignore her. Come on, letâs eat.â He also lovingly picked a piece of pork ribs for Zhang Heling.
Liang Yingying was aggrieved: âIâm not angry, but what kind of pocket money does this child want? To apply for the card casually, but didnât tell me. Do you think Iâm not her mother anymore?â
The last sentence obviously pointed to the bald man and scolded the monk.
Zhang Huan is not stupid, so he can tell. He was even more angry after hearing this.
âI agreed to this matter and Yanyan worked hard to do it. So, whatâs the matter?!â Zhang Huan said.
Liang Yingying was stunned and even felt more aggrieved: âWhy didnât you tell me? I am Heheâs mother.â Itâs not Zhang Yanshengâs turn to take care of this girl.
Zhang Huan sneered: âYou have to be willing to put more thoughts on your children then. Thank God that Yanyan remembered this. Yanyan also started to manage her pocket money in the third grade. Hehe is also getting older. Yanyan, who is an older sister, is not even worried. So, why are you still not happy?â
He wanted to say that he wants Liang Yingying to simply leave Zhang Heling alone, so as not to ruin Zhang Heling. However, this was so unpleasant and he felt ashamed to say it, so he resisted: âLetâs eat!â
Zhang Shuocheng rolled his eyes and said loudly, âI also want pocket money!â
He can have whatever he wants, but he actually has no idea about spending money. Just merely listening to Zhang Helingâs getting pocket money, he also wants it. Plus, he knows that money is a good thing. He had already taken some red money from Liang Yingyingâs wallet to give to Aunt Wang to help him with his homework.
Itâs a pity that Aunt Wang refuses it now.
Liang Yingying opened her mouth to agree, but Zhang Huan had already said, âYou are still young.â
Liang Yingying had to shut up.
Zhang Shuocheng couldnât stop so easily, making a noise.
âShut up.â Zhang Yansheng suddenly said.
She doesnât care about Liang Yingying, but she has already decided to take care of Zhang Shuocheng. Although she canât take care of him so well, at least she can take care of him to the point of not harming other peopleâs children in the future.
As soon as she said that, Zhang Shuocheng shrank.
âWhen you are in the third grade, you will be given pocket money.â Zhang Yansheng said meaningfully. âBut before that, if you dare to take money from an adult and give it to others, and I found out about it, you⊠be careful with your ass.â
People who do bad things will feel guilty, so Zhang Shuocheng felt guilty.
Zhang Heling knew that this was about Aunt Wang taking money to help him with his homework, so she glared at him and warned him with her eyes âSister already knew!â.
Zhang Shuocheng was frightened by Zhang Yansheng several times, shrank his neck, and did not dare to speak.
In normal times, if something goes wrong with him, he would lie on the ground and wail for a long time. Today is strange!
Zhang Huan blinked and was shocked to see that the eldest daughter restrained her son with a few words.
Liang Yingying was also surprised. She glanced at Zhang Huan, and when she saw his surprised and happy appearance, she felt a faint of bad sense in her heart.
She always felt that there had been some subtle changes in this family that were out of her control.
âYour eldest sister is right.â Zhang Huan said with a smile, âYou have to listen to your sister, otherwise your sister will beat you, and father will not be able to save you.â
His mother couldnât save him either, Zhang Shuocheng had already realized this in his heart. Whenever Zhang Yansheng wants to beat him up, probably only his second sister can intercede a little.
Children are born to be soft and afraid of hardness, and their feelings in this regard are actually very keen.
They must know who they can bully and cause trouble to, and to know who must not be provoked.
After eating and going to the small hall, Liang Yingying saw the award certificates on the wall. She was scolded back by Zhang Huan for getting angry several times in a row today. Now that she knew that she had converged in front of Zhang Huan, she first asked, âWhy did you take off the painting? How ugly is this wall now?â
Zhang Huan said, âIt used to be the place where awards were posted.â As he said that, he sighed a little bit when he recalled the past when his first wife was still there.
When Liang Yingying looked over and found that they were all Zhang Helingâs award certificates, her anger suddenly disappeared. Zhang Huan obviously supported the display of the award certificates here. They all belonged to her own children anyway, which was better than Zhang Yanshengâs award certificates posted on the wall back then.
Back then, she deliberately and quietly tore one of them apart, leaving the award certificate hanging in tatters. Under the pretext of being ugly, she told Zhang Huan about it, so she got permission to hang the painting instead.
But Liang Yingying still curled her lips: âThat little girl, whatâs so good about posting these? In the future, Shuoshuo will also post his awards here.â
Zhang Huan actually didnât expect much from Liang Yingying, and felt that she could take good care of her childrenâs clothing, food, housing, and travel. But hearing that, he was still disappointed.
Although both of them prefer sons from daughters, there are still some differences.
Liang Yingying, as a mother, only has Zhang Shuocheng in her heart and didnât care about Zhang Heling at all.
As for Zhang Huan, when he didnât have a son, of course he wanted to have one too. Men in this country, no matter how well they say they are, they all want a son in their hearts.
Itâs just that the Zhang family is not the kind of poor family who only buys a pair of new shoes for their son, and their daughter can only make do with old shoes. Although Zhang Huan did love his son more in his heart, he never thought about treating his daughters badly.
He never thought that because his daughters are girls, they should be worthless and should not have to study hard.
He just didnât want to put too much energy into it. But seeing his daughters doing well, seeing them working hard and becoming outstanding, he must still be happy.
This is very different from Liang Yingying.
Liang Yingying gave birth to Zhang Heling but failed to enter the door of Zhangâs house, but she replaced the first wife instead. The disappointment and resentment in her heart fell on Zhang Heling, so she was extremely harsh on Zhang Heling.
Verbal suppression, material things⊠because the Zhang family is wealthy, children will not be hungry and cold, but it is still hard to tell.
That the harshness and coldness of those subtleties do exist.
Zhang Heling was clueless, although she felt it, she couldnât tell. Zhang Yansheng looked at her coldly because she could see clearly.
Zhang Huan was disappointed in Liang Yingying and didnât say anything. Probably because he knew that it was useless to say it. Liang Yingyingâs level is just there, so what can he expect from her?
He shook his head and raised the tablet a little bit just to get her out of his sight.
Liang Yingying had something in her heart, so she leaned over to him: âHusband⊠my carâŠâ
Zhang Huan was very angry today and Liang Yingying was afraid that he would not buy her a car. When he agreed to her Ferrari, she and her friends spread this news. If she couldnât buy it, then she would be too embarrassed.
Zhang Huan didnât like seeing her very much at this moment. Indeed, when he was angry during the day, he thought about âwhat to buyâ, so he simply stopped buying it for her as a punishment.
But at night, all his three children made him feel better.
Hehe studied well, Shuoshuo became obedient, Yanyan and her younger siblings lived in harmony⊠Liang Yingying rubbed against him, so he said lazily: âFine, go and see for yourself, and tell me when youâve picked one.â
Liang Yingying was so happy that she kissed him and whispered, âThank you husband!â
She sneered in her heart, thinking that all men are like this. Look, itâs okay if you just coax them.
However, she didnât know that Zhang Huan was only willing to buy her a Ferrari all for the sake of the childrenâs faces.
She was trying to coax Zhang Huan more, but her cellphone rang. Liang Yingying picked it up, frowned slightly, and answered the call: âHello, Mom?â
She said this as she walked out.
Liang Yingying came to K City alone and got married into a wealthy family. When her family came to see her, Liang Yingying also gave them money, but refused to let them come often.
Itâs still disgusting.
Zhang Huan only glanced, but didnât look too much. He didnât bother to worry about Liang Yingyingâs family affairs.
