Chapter 189

Digging a Hole (1)

Yu Wencheng was very grateful for Xiaoman.

Not long after she entered, his son obediently opened the door and spared it from destruction.

He knew that no matter what happened to his brat, it wouldn’t be a mistake to look for Xiaoman.

She specialized in dealing with all kinds of crybabies, especially his dull gourd of a son.

Yu Wencheng clasped Xiaoman’s hand and earnestly said, “Xiaoman, you must visit Uncle’s house a lot whenever you have time in the future. If you have nothing else to do, just come whenever you want.”

Xiaoman nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Uncle Yu, he’s okay. He’s able to look at things from the bright side. You just couldn’t discuss it with him. He’s pretty smart.”

“Right, right, right.” Everything she said was right.

Jiang Xiaoman said again, “But it’s okay. If anything else happens, you can come and find me. I like to coax children the most.”

“Good, good, good.” Things couldn’t be better.

Yu Wencheng watched as Xiaoman left.

He looked at his son and said earnestly, “Son, do you like her?”

Yu Qingshi blushed, bowed his head, and said nothing.

Not saying anything meant that he liked her. Yu Wencheng understood.

He thought that his son had good foresight.

The two children reconciled and went back to how they were before, and no one mentioned anything about the baby anymore.

On Monday, they went to school again.

The weather was very cold, but Xiaoman didn’t like wearing hats and considered them ugly. She became even more convinced in this line of thought after seeing Ye Jiajia’s messy hair from the static electricity after wearing a hat for too long.

After class was over, Ye Jiajia came and paced back and forth in front of her classroom, looking at Jiang Xiaoman as if she was hesitating to say something.

This had happened for several classes already.

She hesitated and hesitated until Xiaoman couldn’t stand it anymore and took the initiative, “Just tell me if you have any problems. We are good friends. I will help you.”

Ye Jiajia finally cried.

“Xiaoman, I want to go to hobby classes with you.”

Eh? This was really unexpected.

Jiang Xiaoman touched her head and kindly advised her,” Actually, there’s nothing fun about hobby classes. A lot of the children just cry when they go there, and afterward, all they do is play and make things noisy. A little lady like you would definitely not like it.”

“But Zhang Xinhua is also in the hobby class with you.” Ye Jiajia cried and said, “I also want to be stronger so I can protect myself.”

“Zhang Xinhua is there to do his homework.” Jiang Xiaoman paused and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Those words seemed to be familiar.

When she got a spanking in the past, back when she wasn’t strong enough, she would always think about becoming bigger and stronger so she could evade Grandma’s fists better.

Something clicked in her mind.

“Did you… get beaten?” Jiang Xiaoman asked cautiously.

“Waah waah waah!!”

Ye Jiajia cried miserably.

The other children were not like Xiaoman, who ate beatings for breakfast every day, nor did they have her thick skin. When her secret was exposed, Ye Jiajia cried from embarrassment.

“Don’t cry. I was also beaten the other day.”

“Waah waah waah!”

“Really, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Yu Qingshi. He also got beaten.”

“Waah waah waah… huh?” Ye Jiajia wiped away her tears and stopped crying. She asked, “Really?”

“Yes, Zhang Xinhua also got beaten often. After I helped him tie his hair last time, he got beaten when he got home.”

Jiang Xiaoman suddenly felt guilty after she said that. She could guess why Ye Jiajia got beaten.

It was probably because of the thing with her little brother. She told Xiaoman that she would bring her little brother to school to show her – that was probably the reason.

Sure enough, Ye Jiajia started sobbing. “Really? Adults are really unreasonable. I only said one line about bringing my little brother to school to show my classmates, and I got scolded.”

“Eh?”

So she only got scolded? Did she have to cry if it was just that?

Ye Jiajia said, “It was fine if they wouldn’t let me bring him to school. I just asked them which trash can they pick him up for, so I can just go and pick another up.”

Then she got beaten.

Jiang Xiaoman played with her fingers as her conscience was pricked.

That was not how things were at all.

“Actually… babies are not picked up from the trash can.” Jiang Xiaoman decided to face her mistakes bravely.

Ye Jiajia looked at her with eyes widened from confusion.

Why was she changing her statement now?

“Actually…” Xiaoman asked Ye Jiajia to come closer and softly whispered in her ear. “Understood?”

“…I don’t understand.”

“Ah well. Anyways, don’t worry about your little brother’s affairs anymore. Just let him grow up well and wait for him to do your homework for you.”

“Okay.” Ye Jiajia felt that it made sense, so she didn’t care about it anymore.

What she cared about the most right now was whether she could join the hobby class.

She felt really wronged. Her father had never hit her before, but all she did the other day was say a few words and ask a few questions about where her little brother came from. They couldn’t answer her, so they spanked her.

Although it didn’t hurt, her pride really hurt.
