After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

"Meet Madam."

Lin Hao looked at the newcomer. She was dressed in a poorly fitting coarse linen dress, was thin and had rough skin, but was very clean and tidy. She had the image of a simple and honest farm woman.

However, I heard that this Iron Egg's mother is only in her early thirties, but she looks like she is in her forties. Obviously, she is not living a very comfortable life!

Lin Hao was observing, while Tie Dan's mother was very uneasy. Originally, she was told that Sister Guo had some chores that needed her help, and thinking that Sister Guo usually took good care of her family, she came without hesitation.

When she arrived, she was suddenly told that the mistress of the main family had also come here and that she should pay her respects. She was puzzled, but she had no choice but to do so because of the order. She kept thinking about what it could be, but after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what kind of connection she could have with the other party.

As she pondered, a thought suddenly popped into her mind: Could it be that her Tiedan had gotten into some trouble? He said he'd been playing with the young master these past few days! Could this silly child have offended someone without realizing it?

If you're convinced the other person is there to demand an explanation, you'll inevitably speak with a hint of apology.

Lin Hao could also see the other person's discomfort. To be honest, if it were her, she would probably be even more nervous if she were suddenly called in for a talk by the principal!

So she comforted him, saying, "You don't need to be so formal. I'm not that particular either. Let's just treat this as a casual chat."

Seeing that she was gentle and didn't seem about to lose her temper, Tie Dan's mother breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that she wasn't short-tempered, but she didn't know if she was really easy to talk to or if she was hiding a sharp tongue.

Lin Hao continued to befriend him, speaking in a very gentle tone: "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that Tiedan and Yuge'er get along really well. I think the kid is quite good, so I wanted to see what kind of person could raise such a child!"

Upon hearing this, Tie Dan's mother couldn't help but smile, but she quickly suppressed it and said modestly, "Thank you for your praise, Madam. Tie Dan is very naughty and not as good as you say."

Lin Hao shook her head: "I don't agree with that. If a child is good, then they are good, and of course they should be praised. Otherwise, how will they know what is good? The more you praise them, the more they will strive in that direction!"

Tie Dan's mother didn't know what to say for a moment. Isn't that how everyone is? They all praise other people's children and belittle their own.

Lin Hao was certainly aware of this, and this situation was even quite common in later generations. It seemed that for Chinese parents, praising their own children was such an embarrassing thing to say. No matter how outstanding the child was, they could always find something to belittle!

She absolutely hated this kind of behavior. She had a neighbor's child who, because he was never recognized, gradually developed psychological problems. He went from being someone else's child that everyone praised to a good-for-nothing hoodlum in everyone's eyes. Every time people talked about him, they felt very sorry for him!

However, that's not what we're going to talk about today, so Lin Hao stopped on that topic and said, "I think Tiedan is a really good kid. He's brave and clever. If he's properly nurtured, he'll definitely be a great kid in the future."

When Tie Dan's mother heard Lin Hao's praise, her smile became even more genuine. She thanked him profusely, but this time, she didn't say anything deliberate or derogatory.

It seems there's still hope!
