"It was Auntie who had taught them well." Wang Xian praised Mrs Jiang.
"Is that so? Don't you think that your uncle and I are uncultured? But our children are quite promising. Which family in the village doesn't talk about our family with envy these days?" Mrs Jiang said as she beamed with joy.
When Jiang Yao left the dining table, she deliberately walked in a circle in the direction of Jiang Lei's room. Her brother was crouched at the door; he had lowered his head as he smoked a cigarette. When he heard the footsteps, he glanced at her. Then, he turned around and closed the door as he went back into his room.
Jiang Yao's heart felt stifled again. Her nose felt tight as she also returned to her room.
When she looked at the time, she knew that Lu Xingzhi would have already finished his work and returned home by then. She took out her phone and called her husband to complain.
Ah Lu had told Lu Xingzhi that Jiang Yao had cried in the afternoon. He guessed that his wife must have cried at her mother's house. It was probably one of her family members who had caused her tears. However, he knew that her family pampered her, so they might have said something that moved her to tears.
However, after he heard Jiang Yao's feeble complaint, Lu Xingzhi realized that his wife had quarreled with Jiang Lei. That little girl had been pampered all her life, and no one had yelled at her before that. Therefore, she felt very sad.
She cried because she quarreled with Jiang Lei?' Lu Xingzhi did not think that Jiang Yao's complaint about her quarrel with her brother was childish at all. On the contrary, he liked to hear Jiang Yao complain to him in a coquettish tone; it was as if he was her biggest support and could protect her from all that.
"I was crying because I was angry." Jiang Yao exhaled twice. "Do you think that fool should be angry? I'm doing this for his own good!"
