Chapter 1578: Raising the Older Ones with Great Care, Raising the Younger Ones Like Pigs
Jian Yixin said, "I've come to terms with it after all these years. If you want to go find your biological mother, I won't object."
"No, I only have one mother, you. I don't have any other mother."
"She has her own children, sons and daughters; she doesn't lack me. But you only have me, and I only have you!"
After this incident, Moli's family never mentioned it again. They became even closer than before, and Moli understood his mother even more.
……
School has started.
After a lively vacation, the children began packing their bags to prepare for school.
"Mom, I'll give you one last chance. Are you sure you won't drop me off?" Zihan tugged at his mother's hand, pouting and putting on a pitiful expression.
"Not dropping you off."
Shi Youxuan said righteously, "I'm not dropping off you or Zirui. It's fair and just."
Zihan wouldn't give up and said, "Zirui chose not to be dropped off himself, but I want to be. Please, drop me off at school."
"I don't like looking at pretty girls, so no."
Sheng Zihan: ……
He wouldn't give up and kept pestering her, wheedling and begging for a long time, but in the end, he still didn't succeed.
Zichen and the others began to tease Zihan, but later, unable to bear it, they turned around and tried to persuade their mother to drop Zihan off at school.
No one else needed a ride, only he wanted one.
Their mother insisted on being fair and square—she wouldn't drop any of them off!
Zihan could only leave dejectedly, feeling somewhat disappointed. As he reached the door, he still wouldn't give up and looked back: "Really not dropping me off? It'll be too late to change your mind."
"Mm."
The children got in the car and left. Her husband said, "Actually, if you dropped Zihan off, the other children wouldn't be unhappy."
Shi Youxuan said, "They wouldn't say anything, but I still can't do that. As parents, we must be fair and square; we can't let the child who cries the loudest get the milk!"
"I cannot do anything that encourages bad behavior."
Sheng Hanyu was puzzled: "That's not right. You didn't say that when Zichen and Litian started college. Back then, you insisted on dropping them off; even when they didn't need it, you still had to. Now that you're asked to drop him off, you won't. You aren't being fair and square; you're playing favorites."
His wife glared at him and said, "It's different!"
"When the two older ones started college, it was because I had never seen a university campus and wanted to see it. Now that I've seen it, I don't want to see it anymore."
Sheng Hanyu said, "You're just being unreasonable. You raise the older ones with great care, and the younger ones like pigs."
Shi Youxuan suddenly remembered and said, "You saying that reminded me. It's been so chaotic today, I felt like I forgot something. You go to the kindergarten in a bit; the teacher is looking for the parents."
Sheng Hanyu frowned: "Is some brat trying to hit on my precious daughter again and fighting over her?" It wasn't the first time kindergarteners had fought over Sheng Yueyue.
It could be said that it was impossible to stop, and even the kindergarten teachers were helpless.
When they were in the city before, there was nothing they could do.
Now that they were in the countryside, the environment had changed and the teachers had changed, but this situation was still continuing!
"Tsk tsk, listen to you. Your daughter is a treasure, but other people's children are just brats?"
"Well, obviously. My daughter is just good. If she weren't, why wouldn't they fight over someone else? I'm going to go reason with the teacher."
Sheng Hanyu said as he strode away.
Shi Youxuan called out behind him: "Wait for me, I'm going with you."
"You go home, I don't need you."
Even though he said he didn't need her, Shi Youxuan followed anyway. She couldn't rest easy if she didn't go; she knew what her husband was like.
A typical case of being overprotective of his young.
Kindergarten.
Teacher Zhang looked dissatisfied the moment she saw them: "I told you to come yesterday, why are you only here today?"
Shi Youxuan said, "The children started school today, and we just finished dropping them off. We came as soon as we had time. You said the children in the kindergarten are fighting over Yueyue; is she the one instigating it?"
Teacher Zhang said very impatiently, "You were already late, and now that you're here, you're questioning me? Sheng Yueyue is just too out of line. The boys all want to sit with her, eat with her, and nap with her. At such a young age, she's so lacking in propriety; she won't be a decent person when she grows up..."
She looked down on this couple from the bottom of her heart, so naturally, she spoke without restraint.
They had a bunch of children at home, their house wasn't anything special, and the couple didn't go out to work to earn money. They weren't even from this village and didn't get dividends; what did they live on?
She was a teacher who had only recently been hired by the kindergarten. She had impressive academic credentials but not very high moral character.
She always felt that because her own family background was good, she could look down on those with poor family backgrounds. She applied to the kindergarten in Chen Family Village not only because she valued the high salary, but also for another very important reason—it was rumored that this kindergarten was funded by Dingsheng Group.
Being a member of Dingsheng was enough to show off.
After she started working, she found Sheng Yueyue an eyesore.
All the other children had English names, but she didn't!
She had kindly given her an English name, but Yueyue never used it and still called herself Yueyue. Such a tacky name could only be thought up by her tacky parents.
Anyway, because of her prejudice, she found everything about her unpleasant.
Yueyue was popular in kindergarten, and she couldn't stand that either.
When children argued or pushed each other to sit with Yueyue, she not only didn't stop them but blew the small matter out of proportion, blaming all the responsibility on Yueyue.
She became more and more excessive with her words. Now, not only was Sheng Hanyu's face looking ugly, but even Shi Youxuan couldn't stand it anymore.
"Apologize."
Shi Youxuan slammed the table and stood up.
Teacher Zhang said, "Right, you should be the ones apologizing. If you don't apologize, take your daughter home. Don't be a black sheep."
Shi Youxuan said, "Bullshit. I'm telling you to apologize to us, to apologize to Yueyue."
Her heart ached as if it were dripping blood.
No wonder Yueyue had been listless these past few days and told her she didn't want to go to kindergarten anymore.
She wouldn't say why when asked, so it turned out she had suffered such a great grievance at the kindergarten!
This kind of person isn't fit to be a teacher, and who knows how she even managed to sneak in?
"You've gone too far, how can you use such foul language? Rural women are just ignorant, uncultured, and vulgar!"
Sheng Hanyu pulled his wife back, telling her not to lose her composure, as it wasn't worth arguing with such a person.
"Where is your principal? Have him come see me."
She retorted unpleasantly: "The principal isn't here, and even if he were, he wouldn't see you. You want to badmouth me in front of the principal? Why don't you find a mirror and look at yourselves; are you even worthy?"
"They are worthy!"
The principal had returned.
He was pulling a suitcase, sweating profusely from anxiety.
He had heard the new Teacher Zhang spouting nonsense while still in the courtyard, and he knew something terrible was about to happen!
"I'm sorry, Chairman Sheng, Mrs. Sheng."
The principal bowed in apology: "It was my negligence and poor management that allowed such a person to sneak into the kindergarten; I will dismiss her immediately."
After speaking, he said to the stunned Teacher Zhang: "Apologize to the Chairman and his wife immediately."
"Chairman? Wife?"
She realized what was happening and immediately began bowing and scraping to apologize; her humble attitude seamlessly replaced her previous arrogance—her ability to change faces was truly fast.
