Chapter 736: Chapter 734: An Unreliable Mom
“Mianmian is truly the Little Prodigy that was mentioned in the newspaper, so smart!”
“Wanyu, you’ve given birth to a really fine and outstanding daughter.”
Su Wanyu puffed out her chest and held her head high, clearly proud. “My daughter takes after me!”
Jiang Mianmian felt secretly pleased by the praise, but she humbly said, “I’ve liked self-studying since primary school; I just learn things quickly.”
Su Wanting listened to Jiang Mianmian’s modest explanation, nodding in delight and satisfaction, then cast a glance at Su Wanyu who wore a smug expression.
Luckily, her little niece wasn’t like her unreliable mother—always boasting, seeking attention. Instead, she was humble and cautious, neither arrogant nor impetuous.
“Mianmian, you’re being too modest. Make good use of your intelligence. Auntie believes you will become the talent that the country needs in the future,” Su Wanting advised solemnly as she patted Jiang Mianmian on the shoulder.
As either a teacher or a mother, who wouldn’t love a child that is smart, well-behaved, polite, and humble?
What good deeds had her cousin done in her past life, or what high incense had she burned to the Bodhisattvas? In this lifetime, she gained such a wonderful daughter. Pampered by her uncle and aunt during her early years, and supposedly destined for a life full of twists, she unexpectedly met a man like Jiang Changhai—who was capable and cherished his wife—had a Little Prodigy, and her life seemed complete.
“Yes, Auntie, I understand,” Jiang Mianmian replied obediently. This update is available on NovєlFіre.net
Big Uncle Su and his family had come over this time to show the Jiang family members that Su Wanyu had her own family backing.
Seeing the old lady bustling in the kitchen with Su Wanyu, happily cooking together, and living in such a large house, not to mention, a color television set that had just started selling in Haicheng, they were very pleased.
Knowing that their niece was well cared for in the Jiang family, they treated Jiang family members with great courtesy, not at all looking down on them despite coming from the countryside and being from Haicheng themselves.
After busying themselves all morning, Su Wanyu and the old lady prepared a full table of dishes. Both families chatted and laughed as they enjoyed a meal, with both hosts and guests in good spirits.
After the meal, Su Wanyu thought about how her Uncle and his family had been on the overnight train and might be tired, so she had Jiang Changhai take their luggage to the guest room she had prepared the day before.
“Uncle, Aunt, Big Sister, you’ve been on the train all night. Please, go to the room and rest for a bit,” Su Wanyu suggested.
The Su family members were indeed a bit tired, but with the old lady still in the house, it seemed a bit improper for them to go straight to their room and sleep.
Zhang Guihua, crafty from age, noticed their hesitation and cheerfully said, “Relatives, you go ahead and sleep. I’ve just had a meal, and I need to take a nap as well. If you don’t sleep, as the host, it wouldn’t look good for me to go off and sleep, would it?”
Upon hearing this, Big Uncle Su was reassured, “Alright, mother-in-law, we’ll go and rest for a bit then.”
“Sure, go ahead,” Zhang Guihua nodded.
Once the Su family had gone to the room, the old lady, after a busy morning, also went to take a nap in the guest room.
Only Zhiwen and Zhiwu, the two brothers with boundless energy, were not willing to sleep after eating. They turned on the television and started watching.
“Zhiwen, Zhiwu, keep the television down a bit, don’t disturb their sleep,” Jiang Changhai instructed.
“Okay, we’re doing it right now!” the two brothers hurriedly turned down the volume on the TV.
