I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Fu Sui'er's eyes became firmer little by little.

Before, Fu Jiaming had also had a heart-to-heart talk with her like this. He said that he couldn't bear to leave his mother and her, and said that he wanted the family to be together forever and to treat her well forever.

She also asked Fu Jiaming the same question at that time, "What do I need to do?"

Fu Jiaming told her, "You should secretly go to the back mountain and hide for a night. This way, your mother will be scared and will compromise no matter what you say."

In the same situation, Jiang Huashan told her that she didn't need to do anything and just grow up well.

Although she is rebellious, she is not really ungrateful.

Fu Suier lowered his head, looking at the comic books scattered on the ground in front of him, and a very faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Are you trying to make yourself better?

The future is expected.

Taking into account the fatigue of the journey, Grandma Wu specially had lunch delivered to the room.

Fu Sui'er got up very early and didn't close his eyes all the way. He felt relieved after getting the answer he wanted. After lunch, he felt sleepy and fell asleep on the bed.

When revisiting the old place, Jiang Huashan's laziness no longer worked. After lunch, she took the poor little thing out to visit the park.

She used to really hate this place and felt that nothing about it was pleasing to the eye. But now she has changed her mindset and suddenly discovered that the old house is not as dark and gloomy as she remembered. The courtyard is flooded with light from all sides, and the sun is pouring down. There are tall green plants, and wherever the light stops, there are shadows.

The cicadas here are louder than those in Shenyuan, and the smell of summer is richer than that in Shenyuan.

Jiang Huashan stood in the courtyard and looked for a long time. For a moment, time and space seemed to be separated. She seemed to see a thirteen-year-old child standing opposite her and looking at her.

There were countless ropes pulling the child behind her. She looked at the sky above her head with confusion, resentment and numbness.

The sun soon set and a red glow appeared on the horizon.

Fu Sui'er slept very soundly. When he woke up, Jiang Huashan was sitting by the window reading her comics.

"Are you awake? Grandma asked us to go to the main hall to eat together. Let's go." Jiang Huashan shook his neck and stood up.

"Oh." Fu Sui'er touched his belly, got out of bed and followed.

The main hall was brightly lit, and the aroma of food could be smelled from afar. Jiang Huashan sniffed and noticed some Huaicheng soup dumplings. Fu Suier swallowed; he hadn't felt hungry at first, but the smell made him hungry.

"Grandma."

Grandma Wu didn't take the main seat. Seeing the two people enter the room, she smiled and nodded, "Sit down."

Jiang Huashan hesitated for a moment and sat down on the left side of the great-grandmother. Fu Suier sat down next to Jiang Huashan without thinking. Jiang Huashan winked at her, and she pouted and reluctantly sat down on the right side of the great-grandmother.

Grandma, "Are you hungry? Let's eat."

"Hmm." Fu Suier picked up the chopsticks, forked a soup dumpling and put it into Jiang Huashan's bowl, "This smells so good."

Jiang Huashan, “…”

Wu Tai Nai, "If you like it, eat more, as much as you want."

"Then I won't be polite, Grandma."

Every time Fu Sui'er took a bite and found something delicious, he would pick up some food with his chopsticks and give it to Jiang Huashan. He was so casual.

Although Jiang Huashan looked disgusted, she still silently picked up the food in the bowl.

The old lady ate very little, only moving her chopsticks occasionally.

After a while, Fu Suier was full. He touched his bulging belly and said, "I'm so full. I didn't expect the food in the old house is better than that in Shen Garden."

The old lady took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe her mouth. Fu Suier was stunned when he saw this. What era is it now? Why is there still someone using a handkerchief?

"I've eaten?"

Fu Suier stood up and said, "I'm done eating. Grandma, I'm full."

Jiang Huashan casually pulled out a tissue.

The old lady's face suddenly darkened, and her tone was serious. "Don't scold your children before meals. This is a rule left by our ancestors. Since you have finished your meal, then stay and listen to the rules."

Fu Suier was frightened by the old lady's sudden change of expression and looked at Jiang Huashan with a puzzled look. Jiang Huashan wiped his mouth calmly. Sure enough, no one who was supposed to come would be missing.

The old lady said, "Since the old man has entrusted you to me, I must live up to this trust. I didn't want to set any rules for you on the first day, but the meal you just had was so shabby, it shows how little discipline you usually have."

Fu Suier was speechless and retorted, "Didn't we eat delicious food just now? Why are you breaking the rules?"

The old lady folded her hands on her lap and raised her chin slightly to look at Fu Suier. "Dinner is at six o'clock. I informed you in advance at five o'clock, but you didn't arrive until half past six. What family dinner makes the younger generation wait for the elders?"

Fu Suier, "That's because I fell asleep. Besides, I didn't ask you to wait. If you're hungry, won't you eat first?"

The old lady shook her head and reiterated, "This is a family dinner."

Fu Suier still refused to accept it. "What's wrong with a family dinner? I eat like this at the Fu family too. My grandfather didn't say anything to me, so why do you say anything to me?!"

The old lady said, "The Fu family is the Fu family, and the Shen family is the Shen family. If there is no one in the Fu family to teach you, then the great-grandmother will teach you."

Fu Suier couldn't hear a word he said. He just felt that this old-fashioned man was very annoying. "Okay! If you don't like it, then don't eat with me anymore. I'll go back to my room to eat. I don't want to see your face anymore."

The old lady frowned. "I made an exception for lunch out of consideration for your hard work. With the family elders still here, how can we eat separately? From now on, dinner will start promptly at six o'clock, and you must be seated ten minutes early. Your pre-dinner etiquette was also substandard today. Starting tomorrow, I will slowly teach you a lesson."

"Who wants you to teach me? It's the modern age now, and you're still using feudalism!"

"boom--"

What was wrong with this sentence? The old lady suddenly became furious and slapped him hard.

Fu Sui'er was startled and looked stunned.

"No matter what era it is, we must not throw away our ancestors' things! We should never forget our roots!"

"you!"

Fu Sui'er was about to retort when Jiang Huashan forked a soup dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Grandma, we got it. We'll be more careful next time."

The old lady's anger subsided a lot, and her eyes fell on Jiang Huashan. "Starting tomorrow, you will get up at seven o'clock every day. I have seen your grades. Although the Shen family does not expect you to be very knowledgeable, you cannot be illiterate. The teacher has been invited for you, and the lessons will start tomorrow."

Fu Sui'er bit off the soup dumpling whole and rolled his eyes. A tutor is a tutor, not a teacher?

Jiang Huashan nodded, "I understand."

Later, after marrying Shen Lanxi, she realized that being the daughter-in-law of a wealthy and prestigious family was not so easy. She often made a fool of herself because of her upbringing and etiquette. Those people looked down on her and even ridiculed Shen Zhuang. They must have disliked Shen Lanxi so much that they were so cruel as to give him such a stupid and shameful daughter-in-law.

Of course, the reason she was willing to learn now was not because she still cared about the position of Madam Shen, but because she suddenly understood a truth while visiting the garden today.

The future is determined by the present, at least now she has mastered every moment.

So why not meet a better self in the future?
