Chapter 398: Growing Up Together
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Although Le Wan was surprised by his change, she was mentally and physically exhausted at that time and didn’t have the energy to delve into the reason behind it. She just thought that her luck had suddenly come.
It wasn’t until later on, when the two of them chatted during a tutoring session, that she found out that this little tyrant had overheard her crying in the toilet that day.
When the little boy heard her crying, he recalled that when the person who introduced her had introduced Le Wan, he had mentioned that her parents had died and that she was living a difficult life alone.
At that moment, the little boy finally realized that he had gone overboard, so he changed his attitude in front of her.
Le Wan finally understood that the reason why the boy was so rebellious was because his parents rarely cared about him.
His father owned a small factory and left early and returned late every day. Even though the two of them were at home, there had been a situation where the father and son didn’t meet for an entire week.
His mother, on the other hand, was addicted to playing Mahjong. Every day after she woke up and had dinner, she would leave a handful of pocket money on the table and go to the Mahjong parlor. Then, she would play there for the whole day, or even overnight.
His meals and daily life were all taken care of by the aunties hired by the family. However, his mother wasn’t at home all day, but she was especially strict with the aunties. She was really bad at checking the accounts, causing every aunty hired to not work for long.
Seeing the auntie who had just established a relationship with him suddenly leave and go through the same thing again was another heavy blow to the little boy.
According to the little boy, his parents had never cared about his studies
before. In the end, when he was in the sixth grade, he heard someone say that they wanted to send their child to a private school. In the future, whether it was to study abroad, it would be more advantageous.
Initially, the little boy wanted to go to a high school in the district with his classmates. However, because of their sudden decision, he was forced to change his choice, so he became passive and lazy.
The little boy looked at Le Wan and said something a little cruel.
“Sometimes, I think it’s good to be like you without your parents.”
When Le Wan heard this, her eyes reddened. This was the first time she had lost her temper in front of him, scaring the child.
Initially, she thought that this tutoring job was over. However, she didn’t expect this awkward little brat to take the initiative to call her the next day and ask why she wasn’t there yet when it was time for her supplementary lessons.
The little boy said that he felt that Le Wan was truly thinking for him, so he wanted her to continue teaching him.
After Le Wan heard that, she was shocked and even laughed.
“You owe me this scolding.”
However, she still managed to keep her job. Later, during the entrance examination, the little boy was also a dark horse. He got a particularly excellent result and then stubbornly rejected his parents’ arrangements and went to a key city-level school.
From the little boy’s strong counterattack, Le Wan had also gained a lot of courage, which made her more proactive in facing all kinds of obstacles and pressures in life.
Back then, she had been so busy with her multiple part-time jobs that she had no time to sit down and savor anything. She only felt that she was being pushed away by life. Now that she thought about it again, she felt a little emotional. In fact, she had also absorbed strength from many people, and she had absorbed all kinds of experience and knowledge.
However, Le Wan had clearly underestimated White’s ability. She didn’t expect that casual help would bring about unexpected results. It helped them break through and solve the problem that the Le family was currently facing.
Half an hour later, Mama Le finally came downstairs with the three children who had been washed. Compared to the dirty and tattered clothes they were wearing before, the little siblings had changed into new clothes, washed them clean, and tidied their hair. They looked completely different from children who would run around picking up trash on the streets.
Le Wan’s eyes lit up when she saw them. Their terrible appearance earlier had greatly affected their looks. After cleaning up, the two children’s exquisite facial features were revealed. They looked quite good-looking.
Behind them, Mama Le looked a little tired. It was obvious that bathing Gegar was more difficult than expected. Fortunately, the final result was good.
After the bath, Gegar’s rejection of Mama Le wasn’t as strong, especially at the dining table. After Mama Le put a piece of meat stuffing on her plate, Gegar looked up and smiled at her..
