Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

When Niu Chunsheng put it like that, Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua both didn't know what to say.

Because they both knew, Niu Chunsheng and Lin Xiaofang had a child in their old age; asking them to send their son away — that was impossible!

If they absolutely had to pick one between Niu Lin Xin and Niu Zhigao, the sister and brother, to keep, they would definitely choose Niu Zhigao, this youngest son!

Actually, it's not just them; any normal parents would make the same choice!

Niu Lin Xin no longer has any qualifications, any conditions, to receive her parents' doting.

She herself has given up on herself, doesn't study when it comes to studies, has no conduct to speak of, picked up a pile of bad habits outside, and doesn't know gratitude in the slightest — which parents could stand such a daughter?

"If it really comes to it, you just send her to a special education school."

Wang Erhai made this suggestion at this moment.

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly spoke up for his Second Brother:

"My Second Brother was just saying it casually, Uncle Chunsheng, if you really send Niu Lin Xin to a special education school, you absolutely must not let her know it was my Second Brother's suggestion."

Wang Xiaohua knew very well in his heart that if this matter let Niu Lin Xin find out, Niu Lin Xin would likely hate Wang Erhai for a lifetime, and even taking retaliatory action against Wang Erhai was possible.

Wang Erhai does business in the county town, and he can't withstand Niu Lin Xin this little delinquent's retaliation, because little delinquents at this age stage, when they strike, they don't hold back, and the most fatal thing is, you still can't do anything to her, after all she's protected by the Minor Protection Law.

This is actually also one of the reasons Wang Xiaohua is unwilling to get involved; intervening in others' karma could very likely lead to oneself bearing that karma.

"Special education school?"

Niu Chunsheng froze for a moment; he actually hadn't thought of this point.

Wang Erhai then said:

"There are many such schools now; many internet-addicted teenagers obsessed with online games get sent to these schools for reform by their parents; these schools are fully closed-off, militarized management, and have a certain effect on correcting children's deviation."

Wang Xiaohua, however, said:

"Given Niu Lin Xin's spoiled habits, she probably would find it very hard to adapt to that kind of life; I'm afraid it would backfire — at that time, not only failing to correct her, but instead causing her to develop some illness."

Niu Chunsheng also had this worry.

That kind of fully closed-off, militarized management school — it's said some teacher-instructors even abuse disobedient students, and cases of abuse resulting in death are not few.

No matter how rebellious Niu Lin Xin is, she's still his own biological daughter; Niu Chunsheng couldn't bear to throw her into that kind of school.

"Xiaohua, then you say, what good method is there?"

Niu Chunsheng sighed incessantly.

Wang Xiaohua then asked:

"You first need to clarify your own need: is it for your daughter's grades to improve, or for your relationship with her to improve? You can only pick one of the two."

Niu Chunsheng then said:

"First is definitely for the relationship to improve; who doesn't hope not to fall out with their own daughter."

Wang Xiaohua then said:

"Then you can arrange a leave of absence for Niu Lin Xin, and bring her to your side, have her follow you to work together, let her personally feel your hardship, and she'll naturally start to understand you."

Wang Xiaohua originally didn't want to give any suggestion, but in the end still gave one.

This suggestion of his wasn't about making Niu Lin Xin do this or that, but about making Niu Chunsheng do this or that; if Niu Chunsheng brings Niu Lin Xin to his side, the one who needs to expend more energy is definitely Niu Chunsheng.

At this time it tests whether Niu Chunsheng is willing to pay and sacrifice; if he's unwilling, then failing to correct her can't be blamed on Wang Xiaohua either.

It can be called a relatively compromise, relatively non-extreme plan.

Niu Chunsheng thought for a bit:

"Your plan is not bad, just what about her studies?"

Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but laugh:

"She's already like this, and you can still consider her studies? Continuing to study, wouldn't it be the same — still unable to test into any good university?"

Niu Chunsheng sighed:

"Yeah, with her current grades, forget testing into a good university, whether she can even get into a junior college is a question!"

Immediately Niu Chunsheng shouted toward the bedroom doorway:

"Lin Xiaofang, after the New Year arrange a leave of absence for Niu Lin Xin, then I'll bring her by my side, let her follow me to learn business, you just take good care of our son at home, this — do you have any objections?"

From inside the room came Lin Xiaofang's voice:

"However you want to handle Niu Lin Xin is up to you! Your son I also don't want to raise anymore, you hurry up and hire a nanny, after the New Year I'm going out to find a job!"

Lin Xiaofang was also angry; she had been a full-time housewife for many years, her own value gradually disappeared in the process of running the family, the gap between her and Niu Chunsheng grew larger and larger, the common topics between the two grew fewer and fewer; if there were no family conflicts it would be fine, they could still get along with mutual respect, once family conflicts arose, once the two had disagreements, they would quarrel irreconcilably.

Especially since getting pregnant with the second child, Niu Lin Xin's rebellion and degeneration made the couple quarrel countless times.

Both were mutually accusing the other, saying it was the other's educational failure that led to Niu Lin Xin becoming this ghost of a state.

And tonight the two quarreled in front of Wang Xiaohua and Wang Erhai these two guests — that was the result of multiple conflicts piling up; otherwise, with such dignified people, it would be absolutely impossible for them to show such an undignified side in front of outsiders.

"You haven't worked for how many years, don't go messing around, just stay home and raise the kid properly!"

Niu Chunsheng didn't want Lin Xiaofang to go work outside; it wasn't that he didn't have money to hire a nanny, but handing the child entirely over to a nanny to look after, he definitely wouldn't be at ease.

"I must go find a job, otherwise certain people will treat me like a good-for-nothing who eats for free, think I can't even compare to a village woman!"

Lin Xiaofang had made up her mind.

Just now Niu Chunsheng compared her with Li Xiulan, his words implying she wasn't even as good as that illiterate village woman Li Xiulan — this really pierced her heart.

So now even if she has to abandon the child, she must go out to find work, must prove where her value lies.

Niu Chunsheng's anger flared up, he directly stood up and went into the bedroom:

"Can you not cause trouble for me? It's the Spring Festival, and we have guests. The matter of you finding a job, we'll talk about it later. It's not like I can't afford to support you!"

Niu Chunsheng endured the anger in his inner heart, trying his best to speak to Lin Xiaofang with funeral politeness:

"How about this, you just treat raising the child at home as a job, I'll pay you a salary! Additionally, I'll assign a nanny to help you out!"

Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua, sitting in the living room, looked at each other in dismay.

Wang Xiaohua said in a low voice:

"Second Brother, how about we withdraw? We've chatted about enough anyway."

Niu Chunsheng and Lin Xiaofang's relationship was somewhat tense, Wang Xiaohua felt it wasn't good to linger here too long.

Wang Erhai also sensed it, so he nodded.

Waiting for Niu Chunsheng to come out, the two brothers then stood up and said their goodbyes.

Niu Chunsheng politely urged them to stay a few sentences, also didn't say anything more, and just let the two brothers leave.

Because he still had many words to say to Lin Xiaofang, and also wanted Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua to leave early, after all, there are many words between husband and wife that are not suitable for outsiders to hear.

As a result, Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua had just gone out the door, but ran into Niu Lin Xin who happened to be returning home.

At this time, Niu Lin Xin had dyed a head of red hair, her nose, lips, ears, were all studded with nails, her neck and back of hands both had tattoos, her face wore heavy smoky makeup, Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua both almost didn't recognize her!

It was still her who took the initiative to call out: "Erhai Ge, Xiaohua Ge, how come you two came to my house?"

Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua, only then reacted.

This red-haired, big-flower-faced, non-mainstream dressed little sister before their eyes, was actually the initially very sweet-looking Niu Lin Xin!
