Chapter 55 Spoiled Children Gone Wrong
Wenjing said, "Dad, you're wrong. We've always been sensible, haven't we?"
With a broad smile, Qin Yanlin said, "My children will definitely be both outstanding and sensible."
Deng Xiuzhen didn't speak; she was reminiscing about her past life.
In her past life, she and Qin Yanlin were busy every day, but no matter how busy they were, they always put their child first.
When it gets cold, I'm afraid the children will get cold, so I'll find clothes for them and urge them to put on more clothes early. I'll even check on them in the middle of the night to make sure they haven't kicked off their blankets.
It's getting hot, and I'm worried they'll get too hot, which could affect their studies or harm their health, so I turned on the fans and air conditioning for them early in the morning.
In those years, the children lived a life where everything was done for them; they never took the initiative to do anything.
They are used to calling for their parents as soon as they get home, and they are used to their parents preparing everything for them.
Deng Xiuzhen suddenly remembered a saying: Spoiled children never amount to anything.
"What are you thinking about? Are you alright?" Qin Yanlin asked worriedly when he saw Deng Xiuzhen not speaking or moving for a long time.
"It's nothing, I just felt warm inside thinking about the three children. They've been holding up the sky while you were away," Deng Xiuzhen said with a smile, praising the three children's performance during this time, especially Wenjing's calmness and wisdom.
“Mom, I did a lot of things too, and I did them very well, right?” Wen Yu came over with a broom, looking at Deng Xiuzhen expectantly.
His expression practically screamed, "Praise me! Praise me now!"
"My Wenyu is the best. There are very few children his age who are as sensible and capable as him!" Deng Xiuzhen praised, patting Wenyu's head.
"Yes, my little man is the best!" Qin Yanlin said, giving a thumbs up.
"When I grow up, I want to earn lots and lots of money and buy my parents and sister such big houses to live in."
"I'm going to take you to restaurants every day and let you eat lots of delicious food!" Wen Yu said, gesturing with his hands outstretched.
“Then we’ll all wait for Wenyu to make lots and lots of money, and we’ll eat well, live well, and dress well with him,” Deng Xiuzhen said with a smile.
She remembered hearing an education expert say online in her past life: "Children need to be managed, guided, and encouraged when appropriate."
"Okay, you guys wait and see," Qin Wenyu assured, patting his chest.
"If you want to earn money so that everyone can live a good life, you must first study hard," Wenjing said, gently tapping Wenyu's forehead.
"Sister, I've been studying hard, my grades have improved, and the teacher praised me today!"
……
After a month of recuperation, Qin Yanlin not only recovered his health but even gained a few pounds, developing a beer belly.
Deng Xiuzhen finally relented and allowed him to go out and find work. Deep down, Deng Xiuzhen wanted Qin Yanlin to work in construction, but she said nothing.
After Qin Yanlin's arrest, she felt it was better to let him do what he believed was right.
Qin Yanlin went out for a few days and when he came back, he told Deng Xiuzhen: A row of houses at the entrance of the alley were being demolished and rebuilt. He heard that they were all being converted into shops, and the three Y-shaped streets were to be transformed into a large commercial street.
The alley where they live won't be demolished, but the houses can be converted into shops.
He went to work for a construction team and asked Deng Xiuzhen to think about what kind of business could be done here, and to take a look at the houses in Chenjiawan when she had time to see if they were suitable for living.
If we can't live here anymore, we'll sell it and rent another place to live. We'll use the house we live in now for business.
When Deng Xiuzhen arrived at Chenjiawan, she did not go inside, but only walked around the house.
After I told Tian Guoqiang last time, he said there was something wrong with the house, but some mysteries remained unsolved. We should hold off for now to avoid alerting him.
When I turned to the left side of the house, that feeling of being watched by a hungry wolf returned.
A chill ran through her body, but she didn't turn around. Pretending nothing was wrong, she walked to Chen Ma's door and called out loudly for Chen Ma.
Chen's mother did not agree, but her eldest son, Chen Chuang, came out.
He smiled gently and said, "My mother went shopping. Is there something you need from her?"
"It's nothing. I just came to check on the house and wanted to say a few words to Aunt Chen. She's not home, so I'll head back now," Deng Xiuzhen said, turning to leave.
"Xiuzhen, you're here? Come in, have a seat!" Chen Ma's voice startled Deng Xiuzhen again. She really wondered if she and Chen Ma were incompatible, otherwise why would Chen Ma always scare her?
"No, I need to go home and cook," Deng Xiuzhen declined.
"Just a little while ago, I went out and bought two pieces of clothing. The shopkeeper said they looked good, but I'm afraid she's just trying to fool me."
"Take a look and give me your opinion. If it's not suitable, I'll have to return it right away." Chen Ma pulled Deng Xiuzhen along. Deng Xiuzhen couldn't leave even if she wanted to, and could only follow her into the house.
Chen Ma changed her clothes and showed them to Deng Xiuzhen.
The clothes were really nothing special, and Deng Xiuzhen didn't know what to say.
Okay, if Chen Ma wears it inappropriately, then don't blame her.
She was worried that if she said her clothes weren't nice, Chen Ma would be unhappy. It was definitely not worth upsetting someone like Chen Ma.
"Mom, this dress makes you look a bit old. You should change it." Chen Chuang, who was reading a book, suddenly looked up and spoke, as if he had seen through Deng Xiuzhen's embarrassment and was deliberately trying to help her out.
Deng Xiuzhen looked over gratefully.
He smiled slightly, his demeanor gentle and refined.
"You brat, what are you saying? The boss said to dress well, but you insist on saying you're not dressed well. Are you unhappy because I spent money on you?" Chen Ma's face immediately changed, and she questioned her sharply.
Deng Xiuzhen secretly rejoiced: Luckily, she didn't speak up.
"Mom, I meant the clothes aren't very nice, not that you don't look good in them. My mom looks good in everything," Chen Chuang replied calmly and gently.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ma stopped being angry. She pulled Deng Xiuzhen back to the street to change her clothes and give that shop owner a good talking to: How could he deceive her? How dare he deceive her? She was a super informant; when she returned, she would definitely smear that shop so badly that no one would ever buy anything there again!
Chen Ma was angry, but she secretly made up her mind.
"Aunt Chen, you are so lucky!" Deng Xiuzhen praised, and this was the truth. She could see that Chen Chuang, Aunt Chen's son, was really good to her. His patience and tolerance towards her surpassed that of countless children in the world.
And then there's Chen Ma's husband, who's quite old, but he's still working outside and gives all his earnings to Chen Ma. How many men in that era could do that?
“Good fortune? I’m definitely lucky, Xiuzhen, you have excellent taste! How did you know that?” Chen Ma instantly forgot her anger and asked with great interest.
"Hello, my dear husband, your son is so filial..."
"Of course! No one in the surrounding area can compare to how good my old man is to me!"
My son's filial piety is beyond words. You don't know, my son is really good. He is incredibly good to his family. In all these decades, he has never said a harsh word to us.
"He's just like his father to his wife, devoted to her wholeheartedly..." Chen Ma interrupted Deng Xiuzhen as she recounted the things she was so proud of.
