Two Birds with One Stone (1)
The first day of school was not as wonderful as Xiaoman had expected. She didnât get to learn many new words nor make many new friends.
The teacher did not praise her for being smart, and the other children also did not call her cute.
Jiang Xiaoman felt submerged inside an ocean of cries, so deep she lost all track of her bearings.
It had been so bad she still heard cries relentlessly ringing in her head even after she left school.
Those children were horrible.
Grandma also said she was a crybaby, but she wasnât!
She now felt that Grandma had been too strict, and these children in the kindergarten were the real crybabies.
âJiang Xiaoman,â Yu Qingshi was waiting for the driver to pick him up. Seeing her drooping little head, he came over to say hello. âHow was the first day of school? Are you happy?â
ââ¦â Xiaoman learned for the first time what it meant to use someoneâs own words against them.
âThat tone was so annoying!â
She choked on her words before quietly saying, âIâm happyâ¦â
Yu Qingshi said, âYou sound optimistic.â
âThank you.â
âYouâre welcome.â
After their bizarre conversation, Yu Qingshiâs driver arrived. He got into the car, waved at her, then left.
Soon, Jiang Xing came to pick up Jiang Xiaoman.
He arrived late on purpose. He thought that their familyâs Xiaoman loved studying so much and loved going to school, so he wanted to let her stay there a little longer. If he had arrived earlier, maybe she still wouldnât want to go home yet. Of course, he had also been very busy.
âXiaoman!â Jiang Xing waved at her, smiling so wide until only his teeth were visible.
Jiang Xing was smiling, but Xiaoman was crying.
âWhy have you only come now?â
She cried as soon as they met.
Jiang Xing was stunned and hugged the child, asking, âWhy are you crying? Did anyone bully you? Or did you bully others? Werenât you always going on and on about wanting to go to school? Why arenât you happy at all? Donât worry. If a bad person is bullying you, Iâll help you beat them up until they donât dare to come to school tomorrow!â
Jiang Xiaoman was bombarded with questions and couldnât answer. She felt greatly wronged and wiped her eyes. After sobbing for a while, she said in a low voice, âI donât want to come to school tomorrow.â
ââ¦â¦â
Jiang Xing thought he had heard wrong, so he raised his voice and asked, âWhat did you say?â
âI saidâ¦I donât want to come to school tomorrow.â
ââ¦â¦â Jiang Xing took a deep breath, then placed Xiaoman on his shoulder. Then, he spanked her butt.
âWah wah wah, why are you hitting me?! Iâm going to tell Grandma when we get home!â
âHow can I not hit you? Jiang Xiaoman, youâre so amazing! Youâre tired of going to school after the very first day! Iâll tell you now! If you donât want to go to school, Iâm going to jump from the second floor of our house!â
It was 400,000 yuan for a house in the school district! Did this little girl understand the cruelty of life and how difficult it was to work oneâs ass off to survive?! Jiang Xing was furious.
Uncle was terrible. Xiaoman was angry and felt wronged and criied miserably all the way home.
She was crying so much that Jiang Xing had to carry her on his shoulder all the way home. Her cries did not stop and instead became worse.
Her eyes and nose were red, and the hair on her forehead was wet with tears. She looked very terrible.
âOh, my dear, what happened? Why are you crying so miserably? Did your uncle bully you again?â Jiang Xiumei saw Xiaman and was instantly distressed. She carried her and called Xiaoman her dear baby while staring daggers at Jiang Xing.
Did she not know what Jiang Xing was like? He was just a big baby who had nothing better to do and liked to bully Xiaoman.
Jiang Xing exclaimed that he was wrongly accused and said, âMom, she needs to be spanked! Itâs only the first day, but she doesnât want to go to school anymore!â
She didnât even last longer than he did back then!
He already predicted that it was going to be like this back then!
