Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 975: 975 Education

Hai Jun didn’t leave, and stood to the side with a face full of anger.

Zhao Yanping also climbed onto the kang. "Go ahead, what’s going on?"

"Xu Hongbing looks down on me, and even my own son looks down on me." With that, she continued to cry.

Yanli’s temper flared up. "Get lost, whether you live or die is your own business, don’t dirty this place, don’t affect the children."

Zhao Yanping glared at her younger sister.

"Hai Jun, tell us what happened."

Hai Jun explained what had happened in the past few hours since he returned. "It’s fine if we take care of my mom, but she shouldn’t treat Haifeng like this. She even said I like her—I really don’t. What mother doesn’t work for her children? But she can watch Haifeng cry. Aunt, oldest aunt, I can’t take it anymore."

This kid has truly been too repressed. Ever since he stumbled upon his father’s affair, he’s been bewildered up till now, constantly regretful. If he hadn’t found out, would their lives still be as they were before?

Yanli looked at her nephew’s tear-streaked face and hugged him tightly.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, you’ve got us." Yanli also started to cry. They hadn’t paid attention to the pain in the child’s heart. They had neglected the child.

Zhao Yanping also felt bad inside; she got a divorce when Hai Yan was still young, but Hai Jun was already at this age.

"Xiao Jing, what do you want to do? It’s just the three of us sisters today, tell us."

Xiao Jing was startled by her son’s outburst. Listening to her eldest sister, she said, "I don’t know, I don’t know."

"Xiao Jing, if you don’t know then go back, if you can’t offer help as an elder, don’t burden the children either.

You don’t need to take Haifeng back, just leave him here with Little Hong, the children can take care of him.

You go back and just take care of yourself."

"Whenever I go back, I think of Xu Hongbing. I can’t go back, I won’t go back."

"So you’re just going to lie around every day, waiting for the children to take care of you? They have to go to school, they’re already doing their best to lighten the family burden, even earning money.

What about you? The family understands you’re not in a good mood, so no one bothered you. You’ve been lying on the kang since the incident, waiting for your elderly parents to serve you, your siblings to comfort you.

You’re not a child, you’re an adult. You have two sons, and you’re just immersed in your own sorrow. Have you never thought that the children are hurt even more? As their mother, you haven’t provided them shelter, and yet you act like this all the time—do you think you deserve to be a mother?

Xiao Jing, go back. Let the children live on their own, don’t burden them if you can’t care for them.

Zhao Xiaojing looked at her older sister in shock, couldn’t believe that this is how her relatives saw her. She felt such grievances yet they all blamed her.

"You’ve been abandoned, you can feel sad, I’ve been through the same, but I kept thinking, I have my family to back me up, I have Hai Yan to provide for. I may not be capable, but I do my utmost to give Hai Yan a good life, to show the Shang family that I’m doing better without them.

What do you have to pity? It only proves you’re not capable, couldn’t hold onto a man, even if he’s kneeling in front of you, you wouldn’t want him. Don’t you find it dirty?"

Zhao Xiaojing heard her older sister’s words and burst into tears. "I’m in pain, I cherish Xu Hongbing, why does he treat me like this?"

Yanli couldn’t hold back anymore. "If I were Xu Hongbing, I wouldn’t like you either, you have no self, you rely on him for everything, the situation you are in today, you brought upon yourself. You deserve it."

Zhao Xiaojing cried even louder. What’s wrong with revolving around a man?

Yanli’s temper flared. "Get out of here, what else do the children have besides being affected by you?"

Zhao Yanping once again glared at her younger sister. Things were already chaotic enough.

Yanli was extremely angry; she didn’t want her second sister to come over in the first place. The children here had a peaceful life and could study with peace of mind, adding someone like her would definitely affect the children.

"Alright, stop crying, does crying help? If you still can’t let go of Xu Hongbing, go find him yourself. If you want to take Haifeng with you, do it, if Hai Jun doesn’t want to leave, let him stay here. Even if you don’t care for the kids, we can still raise them up."

Zhao Xiaojing kept crying, the pain in her heart was something they couldn’t understand, having the man she loves betray her was a disaster for her.

Yanli was too enraged, she pulled her nephew into the room across, and saw Xiao Ling and her sisters, along with Zhixue, making paper boxes, while Little Hong played with Haifeng on the side.

Seeing their old aunt come in, the three older kids looked up with fear in their eyes. This made Yanli more determined not to let Zhao Xiaojing stay here.

She knew this place was a pure land for the kids, and the kids were willing to work hard, it also gave them peace of mind.

Hai Jun came in and also climbed onto the kang to start making paper boxes. Yanli sighed in her heart and joined in.

Now only the two sisters were left in the room. To be honest, Zhao Yanping didn’t like her second sister either. Without a man, can’t you live?

"Xiao Jing, if you’re like this, go back home and be sad. Don’t you feel bad looking at Hai Jun? A child experiencing all this, you’re this sad, what about him?"

"Big sister, I don’t want to go back, just being there makes my mind full of Xu Hongbing."

"Coming here hasn’t changed anything, you still think of him, don’t you?"

"Big sister, I also don’t want to be like this, I also want to stand up for the children, but I can’t."

"Xiao Jing, can you not live without a man? Why don’t you find another one?"

"Another one? What if he’s just like Xu Hongbing?"

"It’s all your own problem. If you had Xiao Li’s temperament, I bet even Xu Hongbing wouldn’t dare act like this.

He knows you too well. If it weren’t for our family not allowing it, you’d definitely meekly stay by his side, always thinking about this matter, because no woman could forget something like this.

By then he would act even worse, disregard you even more. And that child, if the woman on the other side is too tough, I guess he wouldn’t want you either.

But you’re already quite good now. You’ve ruined their reputation, they have no money, and even if a child is born, they’d be pointed at.

You’re much better than me. Why can’t you toughen up? Live well with your two kids, when Hai Jun becomes successful in the future, let Xu Hongbing regret it."
