The Eldest Daughter was Reborn

Zhang Yansheng now thinks back to these things that happened at that time, only to feel that Xu Lichen's mother did the right thing.

At that time, Xu Lichen made things more serious with his illegitimate brother. With his character and his already paranoid mind at the time, if he continued to develop like this, maybe he would draw a knife and stab the illegitimate child one day.

Mother Xu's methods were tough at the time, but she effectively avoided worse things.

Of course, neither Xu Lichen nor she could understand this at that time.

Xu Lichen's relationship with his mother was very frosty. He felt that her heart was full of money, and she was only vying for property from his dad, and didn't care about her son.

But Zhang Yansheng now thinks back to the situation of Xu's mother at that time. Her husband betrayed her. The mistress’ son was raised so big and so good. Xu Lichen's father was the one with power in the company. She was thinking about transferring assets little by little, and she had to paralyze him with a smile and act as a loving couple with him outside. How much pressure does she have to bear?

However, her biological son is not only a disappointment, but also ignorant.

"Her son is the same age as me, she must be a middle-aged woman, right? What the hell is this kind of heroine in a romance novel?" Xu Lichen looked sick.

Zhang Yansheng shrugged her shoulders: "Xu Mulin is your cheap brother. He is a legendary other people’s child. He was signed by Yinghua Experimental High School after graduating from elementary school. Do you know Yinghua Experimental? They have the two-four school system,1二四学制 – The two-four system is a kind of teaching system, two years in junior high school, four years in high school, you can go directly to the school's high school.the kind that connects from middle school to high school. Your brother studies well. If he comes to our Yi High School, he definitely will be admitted to the top class."2Translator’s Notes: I’ve actually used elementary, middle, and high school in the translation, without knowing that I will encounter this information here. But in this novel, junior high school is the same as the middle school. Three years in junior high then another three years in senior high.

Xu Lichen snorted unhappily.

Zhang Yansheng finished it off with: “Your dad loves him very much.”

Xu Lichen was angry: "Zhang Yansheng!”

“You can't bear it?" Zhang Yansheng stared at him.

Xu Lichen suppressed his anger and asked her, “I don't know these things, so how do you know about them?"

"I heard it from gossip." Zhang Yansheng lied without changing her face, "If you want people to know it, you can't do it yourself. K City is so big, and the entire business district is so big. If you don't believe it, just ask your dad about my dad. Even if they haven't had any business together, they should have heard of each other, maybe they met on some occasion."

She said quite eloquently: "Anyway, gossip has come and passed onto me, I listened to it with relish. Then one day, I suddenly discovered that the protagonist’s own son was in the same school as me, and he was the guy who was cheekily harassing me. Ho!"

Xu Lichen believed it.

Before, he had been surprised how Zhang Yansheng knew his private room number in Baochi, but then Zhang Yansheng blew him up with such a big incident, and he threw his doubts about that matter behind his head. After all, it was just a trivial matter compared with this matter.

Now he is not in the mood to deal with Zhang Yansheng's ridicule, his mind is full of chaos.

Zhang Yansheng glanced at him for a while, watching the expression on his face change, gritting his teeth, anxious and angry. The piece of homework paper was crumbled into a ball unconsciously by him in his hand.

She said: "Now that you know everything. What do you want to do next?"

"I…" Xu Lichen only said one word and he couldn't say anything anymore.

Under such a huge change in the family, what sober and rational measures can you expect from a young man who usually is arrogant.

Zhang Yansheng sighed slightly in her heart and said, "According to the gossip I have heard, your mother already knew about this a long time ago.”

In fact, Mother Xu should have been quietly transferring assets at this time. But Zhang Yansheng couldn't tell such a secret thing in advance.

She changed her perspective and said, “Let me remind you, no matter how good your relationship with your dad is, you have to be clear-headed. In this matter, you can only and must stand with your mother. I told you the other day, no matter what happened, you are your mother's only son. She just scolds you and beats you, but you are her only child. On your dad's side, hmm…”

“Sooner or later, your dad and your mother will tear their faces, but it's definitely not now. If they could tear their faces now, a strong woman like your mother would have torn it with him a long time ago. She must have a reason why she can't do this now. So, I suggest that you don't rush to argue with your dad, you have to communicate with your mother first.”

"I’ve thought about it for a while, your mom now must be in a very difficult situation. Her husband has such a big bastard outside, and she doesn’t know how much of their conjugal property has been sent there to prepare for the illegitimate child. She is injured in both feelings and interests. She can’t tell you about it yet, so she can only grit her teeth."

“You might as well persuade your mother that there is no way to talk about their feelings anymore, just talk about benefits. You and your mother have one interest, first think about how you can keep the assets that the two of you deserve.”

Xu Lichen clutched the ball of paper, clenched his fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hand bulged. He hasn't spoken for a long time.

Zhang Yansheng waited for a while, but when he didn't see him react, she raised her eyebrows: “What's the matter? Are you still planning to accept your dad's little white moonlight and your cheap brother? Sure enough, you men think that too many wives and concubines are very good, right?”

Xu Lichen immediately burst into foul language: “B*llsh*t!”

He glanced at Zhang Yansheng's beautiful face, and the sarcastic smile at the corner of her mouth seemed to be absent. He suppressed his anger and said bitterly: "Zhang Yansheng, why do I find your mouth so poisonous?”

"It depends on who I am talking to." Zhang Yansheng sneered, "For people who are not clear-headed, just like you, I have to be a little more poisonous. If not, I am afraid that you will not listen. So, did you hear what I just said?"

Xu Lichen wiped his face: “I just want to go and see that wild species now, then beat him to the ground!”

"Uh huh~" Zhang Yansheng continued to say for him, "Then they will call the police, and then alarm your dad, then stun the snake, and then break your mother's business, and drag your mother's back. Anyway, you will not be able to do anything that can help, so you deserve it."

“You…" Xu Lichen was so angry that he couldn't speak.

But he can't refute it. Zhang Yansheng's logic is very clear. If he really does not care and beats the bastard, isn't this going to be the result?

“Then, do I just leave him alone?” He asked with red eyes.

"That's why I’ve been telling you to clear your mind." Zhang Yansheng looked at him coldly, as if looking at her former self, "If you cut off the water downstream, then there will be an endless supply of water upstream, so what's the point?”

“Who is the root cause of the problem in this matter? Is it the mistress? Is it the illegitimate child? Obviously, it's your dad!”

“You came up to hate your dad's illegitimate son first, not even the mistress. You still think it’s very righteous, right? Do you feel that you are standing on a moral high ground? But what do you really think in your heart? Do you think I can't see it?”

Zhang Yansheng's voice became more and more stronger: “You don’t hate your father who let down your mother, not even the mistress who destroyed your family. What you really hate… is so ridiculous?! The one you hate is that illegitimate son who split your dad's love for you. Your first reaction is that you want to beat up the illegitimate son, jump like a dog, jump higher for the owner to see, and let the owner love him a little more… Xu Lichen, look at how you behave!”

Xu Lichen's face turned into pig liver color.

However, Zhang Yansheng's words were cruel, and he was unable to refute them.

The car turned very quiet.

After a long time, Xu Lichen scolded: "F*ck! So, what should I do now? Tell me!”

Zhang Yansheng was so angry that she wanted to hit someone: "Are you deaf? I already told you what to do! Go and ask your mom!", she said angrily, "I'm not your mother!"

She really wants to knock on this guy's pig head!

Zhang Yansheng opened the door with anger and wanted to get out of the car. When the door opened a gap, she suddenly paused, turned her head, and said, "Forget it! I won't be angry with a fool!"

“Let me tell you something that will make you happy." She said, “You hate your bastard brother to death, right? Well let me tell you, he hates you more than you hate him! His mother is a psychopath, and sure enough, the psychopath’s son is also a psychopath. He hates that you are your father's legitimate child.”

"This kind of person has problems with his brain. Don't provoke him. Your mother is not a bully and you have to have some confidence in your mother. Don't give your mother a drag."

Before she finally got out of the car, she said, “Talk to your mother and be patient. It’s not very easy for her.”

After getting out of the car, she slammed the door and turned around: “Driver Zhou, let’s go home!”

Xu Lichen was left alone in the car.

On Tuesday, Zhang Yansheng went to the head teacher of their class privately: “…as far as the two subjects of physics and mathematics are concerned, there are too many points that I want to make up for. Do you think it's okay?”

She is not good at physics and mathematics, and the total points are drawn. There is still half a month left until the final exam, and she wants to find a teacher to make up for it before the exam.

Of course, it costs money.

The head teacher in their class teaches physics, and she heard that they also do extra lessons outside to make extra money. Teachers in their schools are very in demand. Those who have the title of excellent teacher or special grade teacher are even more popular.

However, teachers generally do not do make-up classes for students in their own classes, mainly because it is not easy to talk about money.

The head teacher said, "I'll help you look for it.”

Zhang Yansheng entrusted this matter to the head teacher.

In the afternoon, the head teacher was able to find teachers for her: "Teacher Xu teaches physics, 600 yen per hour. Teacher Ma teaches math, he is a special grade teacher, 850 yen per hour." She asked Zhang Yansheng if she could accept it.

These are all internal prices for students in our school. If they are from a foreign school, they will be more expensive.

So, it costs money to raise children, it is really expensive. In many families, children are like eating money. Thirty thousand a month can't afford a summer vacation for children. But this was like a drizzle for Zhang Yansheng, so she agreed.

The head teacher said, “Have your parents agreed already?”

Zhang Yansheng said, "No, I can just use my pocket money.”

Head teacher: “…”

The head teacher knows some details about Zhang Yansheng. This girl spent money to enter the school, but as a result, she worked hard and entered the preparatory class.

But those of them who teach, they have worked so hard to make extra money by putting in time and energy, and there are children who can actually pay for it with pocket money…

The head teacher felt sad for a while, then confirmed the make-up classes time with her and arranged them all for her.

Because they are make-up classes at the end of the semester, they will not just come to the door. One will be arranged for a lunch break at noon and the other will be arranged after school in the evening.

The Ministry of Education here in K City stipulates that evening self-study is not allowed in the first year of high school. So, the first-year high school students leave the school early and have time after class. Dinner can also be settled in the cafeteria with the students of the second and third year, which is very convenient.

And she can go to class that night.

Zhang Yansheng called Xiao Zhou and told Xiao Zhou the time to pick her up.

When they got home in the evening, Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng were already playing on the first floor.

"Sister, you came back so late. Have you eaten already?" The little girl threw away the game console and ran over to ask.

She's very caring and considerate of others.

This is so special… no wonder it's called a little padded jacket.3小棉袄 – little padded jacket – literally has no special meaning, especially refers to soft, comfortable and warm cotton products for people to keep warm. Life is also a metaphor, which generally refers to the intimate relationship between a daughter and a father or mother, because daughters are usually delicate, gentle, and considerate, interpreting family love. And generally speaking, of intimate little padded jackets, parents' faces are usually filled with incomparable satisfaction and happiness.

Who can resist it?
