Chapter 107: Give My Daughter More Food

Some parents liked to impose their wishes on their children. They thought that they were doing this for their children’s good. However, in the process of doing so, they often neglected the children’s feelings.

This little boy is quite pitiful.

Su Jiu looked at the photographer who was filming nearby and asked, “Uncle, I need to talk to Big Brother Wei in secret. Can you stop filming for now? Please!”

When the cameraman saw the little girl clasp her hands together and plead with him, his heart softened. He agreed to her request.

“Can you also not broadcast the video you filmed just now? If his mother saw it, she’d be furious.”

The cameraman thought, Xiao Wei was talking about his inner thoughts. He mentioned something he feels sad about. The scene is indeed quite unsuitable to be broadcasted to the public. The cameraman nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll tell the director.”

“Thank you, Uncle!” Su Jiu smiled, then whirled around to face Xiao Wei. “You can continue talking to me. Your mom won’t know now. I’ll keep this a secret for you!”

Xiao Wei did not expect this girl to do such a thing. When he realized that he had accidentally revealed his secret to her, he felt a little guilty.

But Little Jiu is such a nice person!

“Big Brother, why did your mother refuse to let you play?” Su Jiu whispered, “Does she think it would affect your piano practice?”

“It’s not that. I diligently practice every day because I don’t want mom to get angry. Dad is always away from home, and it’s very tiring for her to take care of me on her own.”

Wow, what a thoughtful child!

Su Jiu asked, “Did you tell your mother that you don’t like playing the piano?”

Xiao Wei shook his head. “I don’t dare to.”

“If you don’t tell your mom, how will she know that you don’t like to play the piano?”

“…” Xiao Wei fell silent.

“You’re a little man. You need to muster your courage. You have to be brave enough to admit your thoughts, instead of bottling them within you forever. That will make you feel terrible.” Su Jiu patiently consoled him. “You can tell your dad first, then ask him to discuss this with your mom.”

From what she had observed, Xiao Yang looked like a gentle, elegant, and polite person. Furthermore, Xiao Wei was his only child. If the kid got his father’s help, Su Jiu believed that it would prove useful.

When Xiao Wei saw the serious look on Su Jiu’s face, he felt encouraged. “Okay, I’ll tell my daddy! Thank you, Little Jiu.”

“Don’t be unhappy, okay? You’re super amazing!” Su Jiu continued to heap praises on him. She wanted to help him in building up his confidence. “Daddy said that you organized a concert. How amazing! You’re not like me, who only knows how to eat and sleep.”

A smile finally surfaced on Xiao Wei’s face. “You’re such a happy child. You’re also amazing!”

Su Jiu could not help but feel touched. This little kid has the potential to grow up and become like those gentle, warm, and nice guys. His smile is so charming that it instantly improved my mood!

She took the opportunity to say, “Xiao Wei, if you feel unhappy in the future, you can always tell me, okay?”

“Okay.” Xiao Wei nodded. He found himself liking her even more and more.

In the afternoon, after the fathers and the children had their post-lunch break, they played some games together. The fathers were tasked to catch mudskippers in the swamps. The person who caught the most mudskippers would be rewarded with an ingredient.

Su Shengjing was determined to win. After all, since he and Su Jiu had to live in such a run-down house for now, he needed something else to make up for it. Hence, he worked extra hard. Even with his feet deep in the dirt, he did not mind being filthy at all.

In the end, he managed to catch the most mudskippers.

Moreover, he had caught a dozen more mudskippers than the second place, Han Xiao.

After getting out of the water, Han Xiao casually remarked, “It’s just a game. Aren’t you putting in too much effort?”

Su Shengjing smiled. “Well, I just want to give my daughter more food to eat.”
