The daily life of a crazy female supporting character trying to redeem herself.

"I thought he was going to yell at me first, so I turned my face away and ignored him."

"But instead of scolding me, he apologized to me."

He said, "I was about to hit you, it was my fault, and I apologize. Can you forgive me?"

I said, "Ever since he came, you've always protected him and even yelled at me for his sake."

He sighed, "I wasn't just yelling at you because of him, I was yelling at you because of you."

'It was wrong of me to hit you, but what you said was also wrong.'

"Your second cousin really likes you. He did well on the last exam and received a reward from Mom with pocket money. He didn't buy anything for himself, but instead bought you ice cream."

He knew you liked ice cream, so he bought a ton and kept it in the freezer, just waiting for you to come and eat it.

'He wasn't unwilling to give you food, he was just worried that eating too much would give you a headache, but you scolded him like that.'

He said sadly, "Your words not only hurt him, but they also hurt me."

"I know you're not a bad kid, but what you said today was really awful. How could you say such things?"

"Your second cousin actually knows you don't like him; you treat him much colder than you treat me. He's not oblivious to it, but he still likes you a lot."

'Didn't you sense his feelings?'

“I didn’t cry when he scolded me, I didn’t cry when he threatened to hit me, but his gentle words made me cry.”

"Because I know he's telling the truth."

“My second cousin loves me just as much as my eldest cousin loves me, and sometimes even better than him.”

Seeing my older cousin's distressed expression, I choked back tears and said, "I'm sorry, I misspoke."

My older cousin wiped away my tears and said, "I know you're bothered by the fact that he's an illegitimate child."

"But Xiao Qing, you need to understand, he couldn't choose his birth. He was simply brought into this world by irresponsible parents. His father didn't even know he existed before he came home, and his mother never treated him kindly for a single day. She raised him like a dog, sometimes feeding him, sometimes forgetting and leaving him to fend for himself in the rented room. He's lived a hand-to-mouth existence until now."

'But he's a human being! How could they treat him like a dog!'

'As parents, they should have given him care and love, and provided him with an education, but none of them acted like parents!'

He sighed again as he spoke, "But his mother was also pitiful. She didn't become her father's mistress willingly; she was coerced by his power."

'She wronged Xiaomu, but my father wronged both of them.'

'Before she died, she mailed a letter asking her father to take care of Liang Mu, but her father threw it away without even opening it.'

"When my aunt was cleaning, she found this unopened letter and gave it to me to take to my dad."

'But I remember this letter, because I was the one who brought it in to him before, and he threw it away, which means he deliberately didn't want to read it.'

'I struggled with the decision, feeling guilty for reading someone else's letter, but I'm so glad I did. Otherwise, Xiao Mu might be frozen to death on the street by now.'

"After reading the letter, I showed it to my mother. I thought she would hesitate about whether to pick up Liang Mu, because, as you said, he's an illegitimate child."

'But Mom didn't hesitate for a moment; she picked up the letter and went to tell Dad to take on the responsibilities of a father.'

'Dad is absolutely awful, I hate him! And he actually said, "Who cares!"'

He said angrily, "Who cares? That's his son!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, his mother stopped arguing and decided to go pick him up herself.

Before she left, she asked me if I could accept this younger brother. If I didn't, she wouldn't bring him back, but she would make proper arrangements.

'I said, I want to bring him back; he's my brother.'

'I already knew from his letter that he wasn't doing well, but when I saw him in person, I realized his situation was far worse than I had imagined.'

'It's like being in hell.'

He was rummaging through the trash can and found a piece of bread. Before he could even eat it, a homeless adult snatched it from him. When he tried to take it back, the homeless man punched him several times.

I quickly got out of the car and ran over, but the homeless man was already gone. I looked at him but didn't dare go near him.

"I'm thinking, what should I say? Should I say that my father played with your mother and then abandoned her, causing you to be like this? I can't bring myself to say it."

After the pain subsided, he started rummaging through the trash can again. This time, he found a half-eaten lunchbox. He held it in his hand but didn't eat it. Instead, he started running, not knowing where he was going.

"I was afraid he would run away, so I ran after him. My mother followed us in the car."

He ran until he reached the bottom of the overpass before stopping, and I stopped too. He caught his breath, walked over, and placed the lunchbox in front of a blind old beggar.

He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, covering his eyes with his hand and choking back tears, saying, "Do you know? Xiao Qing, he came from a poor family, received no education, and never experienced any love, yet he had a heart of gold."

"I cried and apologized to my older cousin, saying that I was wrong and that I was too bad."

He wiped away my tears and said, 'You're not bad, you're a good child too.'"

Liang Qing smiled bitterly at Xue Fanxing and said, "But how am I not bad? I hurt his heart of gold."

Xue Fanxing sniffed. "And then?"

My older cousin finally said, "He loves you as much as I love you. Can you love him as much as you love me?"

“I said yes. After hearing his story, I no longer disliked my second cousin. I have come to regard him as my own brother.”

"Later, I wiped away my tears and went to apologize to my second cousin, but I started crying again after only a couple of words. I was afraid he wouldn't forgive me."

"When he saw me crying, he half-squatted down to wipe my tears."

"I said sorry, and he laughed and called me silly, and even folded a paper rose for me."

"He forgave me, or I can't use the word 'forgave' because he never even blamed me."

“I am still incredibly grateful for his tolerance to this day, and I am determined to become like him. I have experienced the power of tolerance, so I also want to become a tolerant person.”

……

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhouyu finally understood why Liang Run and Liang Mu had been so worried about Liang Qing when they visited her home as children.

Because the bond between them is so unbreakable.

But he still didn't quite understand Xue Fanxing's concerns. He hesitated for a moment and said, "But doesn't this just show that tolerance can make a person better?"
