1371 Dad and Mom Support You!
Without the expected reprimand, Yang Ju only gently pulled Guan Tao’s hand and said lovingly, “Mom and Dad will only be like this in their lives. We were born as farmers and have little ability. You’ve been sensible since you were young, and we never have to worry about your studies. Sometimes, you had to take care of your father and me. Mom sometimes feels sorry for you.”
“Mom…”
Hearing her mother’s words, Guan Tao couldn’t help but tear up emotionally. “Don’t say that. I never felt that you owed me anything.”
Their family backgrounds were different, and it was not something she and her parents could choose from. She knew that her family was poor, but she did not complain because her parents were also working hard to live and create conditions for her.
!!“Mom knows.” Yang Ju nodded. Looking at her sensible daughter, she couldn’t help but feel comforted. Then, she slowly said, “Let’s not talk about things that make people cry. Mom wants to ask you if you like fas.h.i.+on design, right? Mom and Dad discussed it. If you really like it and decide to enter this industry in the future, Mom and Dad will support you to learn!”
“Mom, are you serious?” This surprised Guan Tao and delighted. She couldn’t help but sit up straight.
She never thought that her parents would agree to her learning fas.h.i.+on design because Guan Tao knew her parents were relatively conservative and knew very little about this profession.
Her parents had told her they hoped she could become a teacher, a lawyer, or even a doctor after graduating from university.
Because in her parents’ eyes, these jobs were proper jobs. They were decent and stable jobs.
Hence, Guan Tao was so surprised when her mother suddenly said that they would support her to learn fas.h.i.+on design.
Seeing her daughter like this, Yang Ju couldn’t help but smile and nod. “It’s true. Dad and Mom know your personality. You’ve always been filial and have done nothing out of line. If we don’t agree, you might have to apply for a major you don’t like. Then, this will affect your entire life, and you might even be filled with regret.”
“Although Dad and Mom only studied little and are uncultured, we know that the college entrance examination is a moment to change your fate. If you don’t make the right decision at this moment, there’s no medicine for regret.”
“So no matter what, Dad and Mom are hoping you can decide what you think is right. As long as you love it enough and don’t regret it, Dad and Mom will support you unconditionally!”
Yang Ju’s words made Guan Tao’s tears fall like rain. She didn’t know what kind of struggle her parents had to agree to her pursuing her ideals.
“Mom, thank you,” Guan Tao cried.
Although she had her parents’ support, the reality was still in front of her. The fas.h.i.+on design major differed from other majors, especially the school Guan Tao aspired to go to, Huaxia Beauty College, which was ranked first in such majors.
Guan Tao learned that the tuition fees of Huaxia Beauty College were very expensive. However, it was an outstanding art school, and its fas.h.i.+on design major was ranked top ten in the world.
“It costs a lot of money to learn this major…” Guan Tao slowly lowered her head.
“Silly child.” Yang Ju couldn’t help but smile when she saw this. No matter what, her daughter would always consider them.
“You don’t have to worry about money. We have already received the demolition fee. Your father and I won’t touch a single cent. We’ll leave them for you to use in university.” Yang Ju smiled and said, “It’s more than enough!”
“Really?” Guan Tao smiled through her tears.
Yang Ju nodded lovingly. “Of course. We can’t fake this kind of thing. Just focus on preparing for the college entrance examination in half a year!”
Guan Tao couldn’t help but cry tears of joy again. Seeing this, Yang Ju quickly wiped her daughter’s tears. “Alright, you’re crying and laughing now. When your father comes back later, he would think that I hit you. Don’t cry.”
Guan Tao nodded and quickly wiped the tears on her face.
Yang Ju took advantage of the situation and stood up. “Wash your face and prepare to eat. Mom made your favorite pork ribs.”
However, when she reached the kitchen door, Yang Ju stopped in her tracks. Her aura stopped, but she didn’t turn around and say, “Tao Zi, bring your boyfriend over for a meal another day.”
These words petrified Guan Tao on the spot. When she looked up at her mother, Yang Ju had already entered the kitchen.
She blinked, and a chill ran from her feet to her brain. Guan Tao was stunned and didn’t react at all.
What was going on? Did her mother know she was in a relations.h.i.+p?
However, she did it extremely secretly. She even specially instructed Gao Yang not to buy her a gift because she had nowhere to hide.
She had just bought her phone this month. In the past, Gao Yang rarely called home. Guan Tao didn’t know how her mother knew.
Also, what did her mother mean by asking her to bring Gao Yang home for a meal? Was this also… a public trial?
Thinking of this, Guan Tao couldn’t help but feel her scalp tingle. She suddenly felt that the smell of pork ribs floating out of the kitchen weren’t fragrant anymore.
…
At w.a.n.g Yunzhong’s house.
Li Xia carried the child and knocked on w.a.n.g Yunzhong’s door. Old Madam w.a.n.g opened the door.
“Oh, Xia is here!” When Old Madam w.a.n.g saw Li Xia, she welcomed her with a smile.
While Li Xia was changing her shoes, Old Madam w.a.n.g took the child in her arms and teased him lovingly, “Hey, hey. Zijian, look at Grandma…”
Li Xia gave birth to a boy in the first half of the year. A new grandson was added to the w.a.n.g family. The two elders of the w.a.n.g family were overjoyed.
Because of the courtyard last year, Li Xia lied she was pregnant before she got pregnant. Two months later, she was pregnant. According to the time, the day she gave birth did not match the day she was pregnant.
However, the joy of giving birth to a boy confused the old couple, so they did not care about this.
The child’s name was w.a.n.g Zijian, and he was of the same generation as w.a.n.g Zichen and w.a.n.g Zimeng.
“Mom, is Brother at home?” Li Xia changed into her slippers and asked.
“He’s at home. Why are you looking for your brother?” the old lady asked as she played with her grandson.
Li Xia nodded. Unlike before where she placed her bag at the door, she entered the living room with it.
The old man went out for a walk and was not at home. When w.a.n.g Yunzhong heard the voice, he came down from upstairs. When he saw Li Xia, he greeted, “Sister-in-law is here.”
“Brother,” Li Xia called out. She looked behind w.a.n.g Yunzhong and didn’t see Xu Qianqian. She couldn’t help but purse her lips in her heart.
As their sister-in-law, Xu Qianqian rarely interacted with them. Even if they visited, she rarely appeared. She would only have a meal with them during the holidays.
Xu Qianqian told w.a.n.g Yunfa that his sister-in-law was quite ambitious despite her age.
w.a.n.g Yunzhong called for Li Xia to sit on the sofa and asked, “Why are you here so late at night? What’s the matter?”
