Yi Jie took a day off on New Year's Eve, and picked up her books on the first night of the new year. She couldn't slack off in her studies, otherwise she would be surpassed by others in a minute. Besides, she was a person with a lot of tasks to do, and couldn't afford to be lazy.

With the magical mint candy, even if she only sleeps for two hours, chewing one will make her feel full of energy. Moreover, since she drank the body-strengthening potion, her physical fitness has improved to an unknown level. Staying up late to study is no big deal.

After finishing two sets of papers as planned and previewing Grade 12 Mathematics for more than an hour, Yi Jie climbed into bed.

Before taking a break, I opened Weibo and checked it out. On New Year's Eve, I posted a post to collect photos of fans' New Year's Eve dinner. The comment section already had over 50,000 comments. Her fans must have eaten really well. Some of them almost had a full banquet at home. They were so rich and inhumane.

Yi Jie slept late and was not woken up by the rooster's crowing. It was Yi Chen who woke her up by climbing onto the bed. "Sister, get up quickly. We have to go to my uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings today!"

Yi Chen pulled the quilt off Yi Jie's head. She then pressed the little one down with the quilt, and the two of them fought on the bed for a long time. In the end, it was their mother who dragged them downstairs.

After breakfast, Yi Jie gave everyone in the family a mint candy. Grandpa was reluctant to eat it at first, but after eating it, he happily ran over to ask Yi Jie for more: "Xiao Jie, this candy is really refreshing. Can you give me a few more?"

Yi Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her grandfather's childish behavior, so she just took out a handful and let him eat it slowly.

The family only had one car, which was owned by my uncle, so he sent everyone to my uncle's house in the county town in two batches. As for Zhang Huimin's family, they would drive there from the town themselves.

It's still inconvenient. Why not let mom get a driver's license first and then buy the car? Yi Jie started to think about it.

His maternal uncle's family is a standard intellectual family. He and his maternal uncle are both primary school teachers. His aunt and uncle are respectively the editor-in-chief of a publishing house and a news director of a local TV station in Jianan Province. They all work in professions that deal with words, so they can be said to be a family of scholars.

Therefore, the cultural atmosphere at my uncle's house should not be too strong. Every time I went to my uncle's house, he would always assign myself study tasks, either writing an essay or reading a book. It seems that I can't escape it today.

When he arrived at his uncle's house, he was practicing calligraphy. When he saw his grandparents and the whole family coming to pay New Year's greetings, he hurriedly stopped writing and went to wash his hands.

Yi Jie leaned over to look at her uncle's calligraphy. It was so smooth and flowing. What a beautiful calligraphy! In the past, she was just a kid and didn't know how to appreciate it.

"What? Want to learn calligraphy?" I don't know when my uncle stood behind me.

"Yeah! I think my uncle's handwriting is very good. I happened to be practicing calligraphy recently and I was fascinated by it," Yi Jie answered honestly.

Grand uncle took out a pen from the pen holder beside the table and gave it to Yi Jie, motioning her to write a few words.

Yi Jie calmed down and wrote the words "The sea of ​​learning is boundless and the journey is hard" on the paper.

After seeing your handwriting, my uncle smiled amiably and said, "Although you are young, your handwriting has shown its elegance. It is said that seeing your handwriting is like seeing your face. It seems that you are a person with ambitions and aspirations. However, your handwriting is a little immature and not grand enough. I will give you a copybook of calligraphy and a set of brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. You can practice slowly when you go back. Bring it to me next time and I will guide you."

Yi Jie successfully accepted the learning task and nodded with satisfaction as she was interested in it.

My aunt and grandmother, who was greeting everyone, joked, "This teacher can't get over his addiction. He has been retired for seven or eight years and still keeps teaching children this and that. Fortunately, Xiaojie doesn't mind. The children at home are fed up with him when they come back for the New Year."

My cousin and aunt kept praising Xiao Jie for being sensible, unlike their own children who were useless. But my grandfather always looked worried whenever he assigned her a task.

Feeling the accusatory gazes of her cousins ​​from her uncle's and grandfather's families, Yi Jie knew that she was now filled with hatred. She just wanted to take on a mission she liked in advance. There was nothing wrong with that. I'm sorry, brothers and sisters.

Not long after they sat together and chatted, Zhang Huimin arrived with her family. Zhang Huimin was relatively honest in front of her uncle's family. People would always be more respectful to intellectuals. Besides, her uncle and aunt were both intellectuals in the city, so they were naturally special in their hearts.

However, after sitting down for an hour, Zhang Huimin almost praised Chen Ruoyao as being omnipotent. If there was a stage, she would probably ask Chen Ruoyao to go up and perform a cultural performance alone.

Even though her uncle and aunt's family kept agreeing with her, they didn't seem to take it to heart.

Yi Jie found her bragging boring, so she called her sister Beibei, her cousin Pingping from her uncle's family, and her cousin Chuan to play poker in the room.

Little Yi Chen was originally clamoring to join in, and Yi Jie just randomly opened a small game on her phone that was enough for him to play till the end of time.

The four of them were having fun when Chen Lili and Chen Ruoyao pushed the door open.

Chen Ruoyao asked everyone in a gentle voice if they could join in. As the host, cousin Pingping certainly couldn't refuse, so she agreed.

After playing a few rounds, everyone lost interest. It was because not only was Chen Lili's card skills terrible, but she also loved to cheat.

Cousin Chuan is a boy, and he has a strong desire to win. After Chen Lili cheated again, he completely exploded: "If you can play, then play. If you can't, then get out. What's the point of always cheating? Have you been spoiled?"

Chen Ruoyao spoke up at the right time: "Cousin Chuan, there is no need to take playing games between family members so seriously. It will be bad if the adults find out if you swear." Chen Lili immediately followed her sister's words and shouted that she would go and complain.

"Hahahaha, this is so funny," Yi Jie laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Lili asked.

"I'm laughing at some people who are not even as good as a nine-year-old child. Yi Chen won't complain at every turn now. Cousin Li, are you a child?" Yi Jie said in a provocative tone.

"You! I have really tolerated you for a long time!" After saying this, Chen Lili pounced on Yi Jie. Everyone was at a loss as to what to do with Chen Lili's action and wanted to stop the fight.

Then she saw Chen Lili being countered by Yi Jie, "Cousin Li, if you don't have some strength, you'd better not come out and embarrass yourself," Yi Jie put her lips close to her ear, "otherwise I will knock out all your teeth and pull out all your hair next time."

She grabbed Chen Lili's hand and used some force to make her scream. Yi Jie let go and Chen Lili fell to the ground. Chen Ruoyao felt extremely ashamed and pulled Chen Lili up with a cold face.

The adults suddenly heard Chen Lili's scream and ran to see what was going on. Seeing Chen Lili with tears in her eyes, Chen Xiangqun and Zhang Huimin asked her what was wrong like a loving father and mother.

Chen Lili cried and said that Yi Jie hit her. Zhang Huimin was delighted and scolded Yi Jie with an angry face: "You hit your own sister and beat her until she cried. You are so young and don't learn your lesson. You are like a little sister. How can I take care of your child?"

"Aunt, are you okay? Look at how Chen Lili is injured all over her body. She is so stupid to complain. Are you also so stupid to scold people like her?" Yi Jie was very impatient.

"That's right, it was Chen Lili who wanted to take action, and Xiao Jie just grabbed her." Li Beibei helped to fight back.

"Chen Lili, it's fine that you like to cheat when playing games, but why do you like to put the blame on others?" Cousin Chuan said with disdain on his face.

Cousin Pingping stood by and agreed with what the two said.

Chen Lili was speechless as she looked at her wrist without any scars. She was really in pain. Who knew what method that little bitch Yi Jie used!

Chen Ruoyao couldn't stand Chen Lili's stupid look anymore, so she walked up to Zhang Huimin and whispered something. Zhang Huimin glared at Chen Lili fiercely, and Chen Lili shrank back and dared not cry anymore.

Zhang Huimin turned around and said to Yi Jie with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Xiao Jie, it's my aunt who didn't understand the situation. I'm sorry. Here, take this 100 yuan and buy some snacks."

Yi Jie took the 100 yuan from Zhang Huimin's hand and said, "Second Aunt, remember to present facts and reason in the future, and don't wrongly accuse others. I am young and magnanimous, so I won't bother with you this time."

Zhang Huimin felt her blood pressure soaring and she squeezed out the word "OK" from between her teeth.

Zhang Huimin didn't want to stay any longer because of this incident. She had lost face today because of the idiot Chen Lili. She had thought that she could use this to dampen Yi Jie's prestige, but Chen Lili couldn't even find the right way to complain. She said that she had a headache and took her family back to the hotel early.

Without the interference of Zhang Huimin's family, the atmosphere became relaxed and happy, and Yi Jie and her family did not leave until after dinner.

Before leaving, her uncle gave her copybooks, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, and reminded her not to be impatient when practicing calligraphy, and not to give up halfway. Only perseverance can achieve results. Yi Jie naturally understood this and agreed.

At this moment in the hotel, Chen Lili had just been slapped by Chen Xiangqun and was shivering on the edge of the bed.

"From childhood to adulthood, I don't ask you to be as obedient and motivated as Yaoyao, and to be excellent in every way. I just ask you to stop causing trouble. Have you ever done that? How many times have your mother and I cleaned up your mess? When I was young, I thought you would be fine when you grew up, but I didn't expect you to become so ugly now.

Today, in front of so many people, both of us have been completely embarrassed. It is my fault for teaching you such a useless thing. From tomorrow on, you are not allowed to go out with us to celebrate the New Year. I will think about how to deal with you after we return to Shenzhen on the third day of the New Year!" Chen Xiangqun scolded harshly, without a trace of affection.

Zhang Huili and Chen Ruoyao watched coldly without saying a word.

Chen Lili didn't understand. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what was done wrong, she was always the one who made the mistake. If she stood up for her sister, she would bear the responsibility. If she didn't stand up for her sister, she would also be the one who made the mistake.

She covered her head and cried silently. Her sister had clearly hinted at what happened today, asking her to find a way to make Yi Jie unhappy. Why was she the one who was hurt, scolded and beaten? Was it because she was not their biological daughter?

Chen Ruoyao's eyes flickered and then returned to calm, without a trace of guilt in her heart.

If Yi Jie knew what Chen Lili was thinking at the moment, she would tell her directly. Why else? You are used as a gun by Chen Ruoyao and Zhang Huimin every day without knowing it.

Yi Jie really didn't understand why Chen Lili trusted her and her daughter so much, even though she knew that she was the daughter of Chen Xiangqun's ex-wife.

Don’t say that Chen Lili was raised by Zhang Huimin since she was a child so she is adopted by him. She won’t believe it. She should know how Zhang Huimin treated her after she grew up. Is there any hidden story?

Forget it, it’s none of her business anyway. Just don’t mess with me and the people around her, and let them fight each other.
