Chapter 379

"Sister Zhang, don't get agitated. Communicate well with your child. Also, I just said there were such cases in the south. I didn't say all hair salons that give haircuts were like that," Zhi Xia said out of good intentions, really worried that Sister Zhang would make a scene when she went back.

"I know. Don't worry, I'll talk to her properly. Zhi Xia, I have to go back first," he actually said. At home now, his daughter was the ancestor. Not to mention her, even his dad was angry, and after being angry for a while, he got used to it.

His daughter was usually well-behaved. It was just that children this age were a bit willful and hard to reason with. She always thought she was right and that she had grown up and didn't want her parents to interfere with her decisions anymore.

Sister Zhang didn't object to her at least finding a place closer by to learn. Now she had walked far away, and they didn't know anyone over there. If something happened, they wouldn't be able to find anyone even if they tried.

"You go back. Don't bother coming over tonight. I should also cook for the kids," Zhi Xia said.

When Sister Zhang returned home, she happened to run into her daughter who was sneaking out the door with her luggage, while her son was pulling her back but failing.

She was so angry her eyes turned red...

Yun Yan was probably arguing with Wanqing. When she left, her mouth was pouted as if she could hang an oil bottle on it. Usually the polite girl, this time she didn't say a word.

Zhi Xia walked into her daughter's room and saw the equally angry Wanqing. She stroked her head. "My daughter, I just heard you and your little partner say no one wants to play with you. What's going on?"

"I don't know what's going on either. I was clearly the one who played best with them before. But starting a few months ago, they just didn't want to play with me anymore." Wanqing sadly shed tears and cried aggrievedly, "Mom, am I really that bad? But I feel like I'm not that bad. My grades are the best. I'm not ugly either. I'm just a little worse than my brother. But Yun Yan always belittles me, saying I'm very bad. I don't like her at all. But besides her, no one else wants to play with me. I feel so sad..."

Zhi Xia hugged Wanqing distressedly in her arms. "Wanqing is not bad at all. Good grades and beautiful looks. You said your old friends suddenly didn't want to play with you. Did you ask them why?"

"I didn't ask them at all. Anyway, they ignore me, so I won't bother with them either." Wanqing was obviously sulking.

Zhi Xia stroked her distressedly, "It's also wrong for you to think like this. Although they ignore you, we still have to find out why, whether it's their fault, at least we'll feel at ease. If it's our fault, at least we can correct it in time. Don't you think?"

Friendship also needs to pay attention to affinity. Some people feel like kindred spirits upon first meeting, while others try desperately but still can't come together.

Zhi Xia didn't let her simply disregard others either. Even adults need friends, let alone a child.

Being isolated for a long time also greatly affected her physically and mentally.

Zhi Xia only regretted that she hadn't spent much time with the children recently, which led to her not even knowing about her daughter's situation, which had even lasted for months.

Comforted by Zhi Xia, Wanqing finally felt a little better. "Mom, I know. I'll find out why."

She decided to find one of her best former playmates tomorrow morning and ask why, even if they didn't play together anymore afterwards. At least she had to let her know why she had offended them so she knew what was wrong with her in their eyes.

Sadness comes and goes quickly. As soon as going out to play was mentioned, that little unhappiness was nothing.

The next day, Sister Zhang went quite early and made breakfast for them.

During the meal, Sister Zhang said, "I have to take a few days off. Over here..."

She was also quite embarrassed. She knew Zhi Xia was busy here, but she had an unruly dead girl at home. Speaking of which, Sister Zhang choked up, "You don't know, luckily I went back yesterday on time. If it was a little later, the dead girl would have run away with her luggage on her back. I just can't rest assured. I want to keep an eye on her at home for a few days."

"Then go back quickly. The child is most important. Don't worry about this side," Zhi Xia was also a mother, so she naturally understood her dilemma, "Sister Zhang, if you need anything, just tell me. Or when you get home, discuss with your daughter to see if she is interested in skin care and makeup. If you can persuade her, let her go to Qiao Yan to study skin care and sales. At least it's close by and you can rest assured."

"Zhi Xia, thank you for your trouble. I'll try to persuade her when I get back." In fact, she had persuaded her a few days ago. As long as her daughter was willing, she would thicken her skin to support her.

But who knew what that girl was thinking. She was bent on going to study hairdressing because it was fashionable in the south now. She said that when she was skilled, she would make big money when she came back, while working for others for a lifetime would only make little dead wages. She didn't want to do that.

She had money-making dreams every day. But God knows whether she has the blessings to succeed!

Sister Zhang now especially hated her daughter's classmate, feeling that she had led her daughter astray.

After going to the factory, Zhi Xia called over Jiang Tao.

It was basically complete empowerment, starting to hand over some of the factory's affairs to him and only needing to make final decisions herself.

No matter how important work was, she didn't want to neglect her children growing up, like what had happened with Wanqing recently. She hoped it would never happen again.

From now on, she would try to get off work when the children got out of school and spend more time with them.

In fact, she thought about it. Wanqing and Chenye are both fourteen now. How much time could she have left to be with them?

Especially Chenye. He set the goal to go to Beijing for his college entrance exam. With his grades, it shouldn't be a problem to test in, which meant he would leave them alone next year.

Returning home, Zhi Xia took out the ingredients from her space and started preparing to make a good lunch for the children.

After school, Wanqing deliberately went to find Xu Ya, who was her best playmate. Xu Ya's mother still welcomed her very much, smiling and asking why she hadn't come over to play for such a long time.

After politely greeting, Wanqing walked into Xu Ya's room. Xu Ya didn't say anything when she saw her, just kept silent with her head down until her mother casually scolded her for being impolite.
