"Nianhua is smart, she'll take the exam again next year." Xu Qingjiang forced a smile and said, "Big Brother, my Zhiyuan didn't get in either, so next year, they'll have company."
"Big Brother, it's all because Juxiang spoiled Jiaojiao too much. Jiaojiao's still young and doesn't know any better. Look at the mess she's made. I thought Nianhua just couldn't handle it and got an upset stomach." Xu Qingjiang's words tried to push all the blame away from himself—whatever happened, it was the women at home who didn't look after the kids properly.
"Sigh, I can't do anything about it. Jiaojiao is my own daughter; I can't just beat her to death, can I?"
Xu Qingjiang complained, "Zhihao finally managed to settle down in the county, he'll be making money in the future and will surely be filial to you, Big Brother. This matter... do you think..."
Even Xu Qingjiang struggled to bring it up, but for the sake of his own daughter, he still did: "How about we just let it go?"
