Chapter 1043 1143. Jealousy
This question made Sufen stunned.
"Nie Wei, I want to, too, but this child just won't go to school. What can I do?" While Sufen was stunned, Lao Dong snatched the phone and looked at Dong Nini, who had a "stubborn" expression on her face, and said with a headache.
"Brother-in-law, I really don't want to go to school." Dong Nini emphasized loudly, but when she wanted to say something else, she was frightened by the angry eyes of Lao Dong and Sufen.
"Nie Wei, don't listen to Nini's nonsense. We all want her to go to college, but Nini's grades..." Lao Dong stopped talking halfway, but everyone understood what Lao Dong meant.
"Dad, why are you talking about this." Dong Nini was dissatisfied. She felt that her father had hurt her heart.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? You just don't have good grades. If you had good grades, would we bother your sister and your brother-in-law?" Sufen stretched out her hand and slapped Dong Nini on the back of her head, saying forcefully.
"Nie Wei, this kid is really, I apologize to you, but I really need your help with Nini's matter." Old Dong didn't do anything, but glared at Dong Nini. At this critical moment, he also knew that he couldn't indulge Dong Nini and let her talk nonsense.
Dong Nini felt wronged and wanted to cry, so she simply hid aside and didn't answer the phone, sulking on her own.
"Don't worry, I understand, she is still young and doesn't understand the importance of learning. People learn until they die. If you two think it's okay, then ask Nini what she likes. Tell me after you find out, I will arrange the school. When she comes to Kyoto, we can also take care of her nearby."
"Yes, yes, you are all from the same generation, you should be closer to each other. Nini is not good at talking, so you must be more tolerant when she goes to Kyoto." Su Fen was so happy when she heard this that her eyebrows flew up and she quickly replied.
"Okay, let's talk about this first." Nie Wei hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
The old Dong and Su Fen finally felt relieved. After the call was hung up, they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Nie Wei's attitude just now was not very close, he did not refuse their request and made a substantial promise. This was the best news for the old couple.
They also did not believe that a big man like Nie Wei would go back on his word. Since Nie Wei promised something, he would naturally help to do it. This meant that their daughter had a paved life path, and the result would definitely be good.
"Your son-in-law is really good and he speaks politely. How about you try to invite Lili and Nie Wei to your home as guests next time?"
The phone call just now made Su Fen have a very good impression of Nie Wei. Thinking that Nie Wei was the noble man who was about to take care of her daughter, Su Fen wanted to contact him more often so that Nie Wei could pay more attention to helping Nini.
"They are so busy, forget it." Although the old boss was somewhat tempted, he still did not agree. Since he knew that his daughter was living so well now, he did not want to disturb her life too much.
The old boss's answer made Sufen unhappy.
"What do you mean by busy? No matter how busy you are, you can still not see your relatives. They don't despise you for being poor, but you are the first to alienate them. I really don't know what's wrong with your brain. If others have such a daughter or son-in-law, they would like to wear a big loudspeaker to publicize it and let everyone in the community know, but you are so good, hiding it, how can they embarrass you?"
"I... I... When did I ever think about that? How can you be so unreasonable, woman?" The old boss trembled and his face turned black because of Sufen's words.
But Sufen was not afraid of the black-faced old boss at all. Seeing that he dared to refute her, her fighting power suddenly rose, almost turning into a blazing flame.
"Am I being unreasonable, or are you just feeling guilty? Let's not talk about how unkind you were back then. Now the child has forgiven you, but you're still being arrogant. If you really feel guilty, you should be nice to him. What's the point of hiding from him now? You don't feel guilty. I say you're just a coward."
"You...!" Old Dong's eyes turned red from the comment "coward". Su Fen's sharp words really stabbed the scar on Old Dong's heart, and it was bleeding.
Old Dong subconsciously raised his arm and wanted to swing it, but as soon as he raised it, he saw his wife in front of him with red eyes and stubbornly raised her head, and he couldn't swing his hand anymore.
"You still want to hit me? Come on, Old Dong. If you dare to slap me today, I'll take the child back to my parents' home tomorrow, and I won't live like this anymore! Woo woo woo..." Su Fen started crying again.
Sitting on the sofa, Sufen cried with tears and snot, complaining loudly: "The old one is cowardly, and the young one is ignorant. Why am I so miserable? I have to have you two nemesis in my life."
"Mom, you said yesterday that I am your favorite." Dong Nini complained on the other side of the sofa.
"Bullshit, how can I have such a heavy favorite like you."
"Mom!!!" Dong Nini shouted in dissatisfaction. Fatty people are most annoyed when others mention their weight.
"Sufen'er, don't you think we should ask Nini what she likes to study first? Besides, you also said that you saw the news that Lili and Nie Wei are going to the United States the day after tomorrow. We should hurry up." Old Dong interrupted awkwardly.
This reminded Su Fen. She thought that her daughter's schooling was more important, so she stopped making trouble. She turned around and looked at Dong Nini, who was trying to reduce her presence.
"Hide. I can see you hiding wherever you are, you are so big." Su Fen sneered.
"Mom, I'm not going to school anyway. I want to go to work and make money."
"Save you. Didn't you hear your brother-in-law say what you can do? When he asked you, you didn't know anything. You were confused. What's going on now? You are capable again. If you are really capable, you should tell your brother-in-law what you can do." Su Fen raised her daughter for 18 years. How could she not know the temper of this little bastard? In Su Fen's opinion, Dong Nini just didn't figure out how to be stubborn.
What she wanted to do most now was to find the classmate of Dong Nini who hooked her to work and spit on him fiercely.
"I can serve dishes and wash dishes, I can hand out flyers, I may even work as a salesperson in a supermarket, anyway, don't worry about it." Dong Nini replied with her neck stiff.
"Humph, if I don't care about you, you will starve to death. Do you think money is so easy to make? You still serve dishes and wash dishes. Have you ever served dishes or washed dishes at home? I think you know how to eat, otherwise how could you be so old and fat."
"You, I won't talk to you anymore, you are so boring." Dong Nini's face turned red with anger, and she turned her head away from her mother. She was afraid that she would be hurt again if she continued to talk.
Dong Nini didn't want to talk, but Su Fen was not going to let her go.
Nie Wei had already spoken and agreed to something, so she naturally couldn't let Dong Nini get away with it by being so petty. Besides, she didn't believe that Dong Nini could find a good job by herself, so even if Dong Nini made a fuss and resisted again, she would tie her daughter up and send her to Kyoto.
Of course, it would be better to let Dong Nini go willingly.
So Sufen thought about it and decided to slow down her attitude. She also winked at the old Dong next to her, signaling him to persuade her.
After receiving the signal, the old Dong immediately ran to sit next to Dong Nini, and then gently patted his daughter on the shoulder.
"Nini, you heard what your brother-in-law said just now. We won't stop you from working, but you have to know something. I think it's better to go to college for four years and learn some skills. When you go to work, you won't be afraid of your colleagues looking down on you."
"That's right, if you don't have any skills, just go to work. When you go to work, just rolling your eyes will stop you from doing it." Sufen couldn't help but interrupt when she heard this.
"Ahem." The old Dong coughed dryly, signaling his wife not to interrupt. This wife is good in everything, capable and able to manage the family, and not bad looking, but her mouth is too poisonous. If she continues to talk, his daughter will be furious.
"Nini, your mother's words are rough but the truth is there." Ignoring his wife's rolling eyes, Lao Dong continued to persuade: "Besides, don't you really have any regrets for not going to college? Isn't it said that college is the best time in life?"
"No regrets." Dong Nini finally spoke, but the answer gave Lao Dong a headache.
Looking at Dong Nini, who had her back to him and never turned her head, Lao Dong was extremely tired and felt that persuading his daughter was really a long and arduous task.
On the other side, after Nie Wei hung up the phone, he saw Shu Chang looking at him with a puzzled look.
"What's wrong?" Nie Wei asked with a smile.
"Why do you suddenly want my sister to go to school? Isn't it enough to find her a job? Why make it so troublesome?" Shu Chang complained in a low voice.
University is not your own backyard. To put a child with poor academic performance into a university, not only does it cost money, but also requires favors, especially Nie Wei also promised that Dong Nini could choose her major at will, which is even more troublesome.
That Dong Nini was not obedient at all, but her parents still loved her so much. Especially when she heard the tone of her biological father begging for Dong Nini, Shu Chang's heart felt like being pricked by a needle.
Because this was the fatherly love she had never enjoyed.
Just when Shu Chang felt very uncomfortable, Nie Wei's gentle voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Because that's your sister."
"Because that's my sister?" Shu Chang murmured, and her gloomy face gradually became bright. She almost grasped the key point of Nie Wei's words in an instant.
"What do you think? Whether it's your father who suddenly appeared or your disobedient sister, I want to take care of them because of you, because you are the most important person in my heart, and I don't want you to be upset or sad because of these things."
"Why do you say that? I'm not sad, nor am I upset." Shu Chang blushed and said insincerely.
Nie Wei laughed and didn't expose Shu Chang's lies.
Nie Wei actually knew what was bothering Dong Nini. The reason why Dong Nini didn't want to go to school was probably because she was inferior to her students. As long as she let go of this, she would probably agree soon.
Nie Wei had already made plans. He would not arrange any famous university for Dong Nini. She could find a second-tier university in Kyoto or a nearby province or city. It would be bad to send Dong Nini to a famous university. After all, the students who could get in there were all top students. If a poor student got in, he might learn well with the top students, but it was more likely that he would become more lonely and inferior.
Nie Wei did not ask Dong Nini to reform herself. He just wanted her to find a similar second-tier university so that she could learn some knowledge in four years. When she learned well, Nie Wei would arrange a job for her. As for whether she could do well, it all depended on her own efforts.
Nie Wei didn't mean to hide his thoughts from Shu Chang. He told Shu Chang all about them. The latter agreed very much and felt that Nie Wei was very thoughtful.
Of course, Shu Chang and Nie Wei had different considerations. She just decided to choose a school that was not as good as Nie Wei's, so Nie Wei could get away with less favors. For that so-called sister, Shu Chang really didn't feel close to her, and she was not as good as those from her aunt's side. My cousin is here to kiss me.
Early the next morning, Shu Chang received a call from his biological father, Lao Dong. On the phone, Lao Dong told Shu Chang that Dong Nini had chosen accounting.
Although Shu Chang didn't know how Old Dong persuaded Dong Nini to agree to go to school, Shu Chang himself was not curious. He just agreed and wanted to hang up the phone.
"Lili, how are you in Kyoto? I heard that you are going to the United States soon. You are not short of money or anything. I was afraid that you would not be used to the food there, so your aunt and I made it together last night. I ordered some pickles, how about I ask someone to deliver them to you?"
Shu Chang was caught off guard by the sudden words of concern from the old Dong. He was stunned for a moment and just stood there blankly without answering. The old Dong on the other end of the phone was so nervous that he didn't know what to say.
After more than ten seconds, Shu Chang came back to his senses and replied: "No, Dad, you are not allowed to bring those things on the plane."
"That's it. Really, I don't know. That's okay. Anyway, you must pay attention to safety when you go abroad. I'm hanging up." Lao Dong said that he hung up, but after waiting for several seconds, he still didn't hang up.
The call didn't end until Shu Chang pressed the hang up button.
Nie Wei went upstairs to ask Shu Chang to have breakfast, opened the bedroom door, and saw Shu Chang sitting on the bed in a daze with red eyes.
"What's wrong? Why are you still crying?" Nie Wei ran over immediately upon seeing this, squatted on the ground and looked at Shu Chang with concern, and asked.
"It's okay, I just squinted my eyes." Shu Chang wiped his eyes, then grinned at Shu Chang with a happy smile: "Look, I'm really fine."
"That silly smile." Nie Wei reached out and tapped Shu Chang's forehead, seeming to agree with Shu Chang's words.
Shu Chang didn't refute, just smiled stupidly, looking like a happy little woman.
