Chapter 110 - Strength Doubled (2/2)

Qi Min touched her hair. She dyed her black at a salon, so she didn’t have to care about it.

“I don’t believe that you’re not worried. Look at Cheng Xiao. Her grades are so good, and her parents get to brag about it. But when it comes to your Cheng Ling, I can only think of farming. Her grades are a mess. There’s nothing for you to show off.”

Through the half-open window, Cheng Ling could see Xie Ying’s expression.

“As long as they’re happy with their life, what’s there for us to show off?”

Although Xie Ying still spoke for Cheng Ling, Cheng Ling could see that Xie Ying’s expression was a little uncomfortable. She was like a poor woman who had accidentally entered the villa and was helpless.

“That’s what people say. But now who doesn’t talk about the children when they gather? Didn’t you always go and chat with other old ladies previously? Now that you don’t go anymore, it must be because they kept talking about your Cheng Ling.”

Cheng Ling’s shoulder was suddenly patted. She turned around and saw Mi Duo with a chicken in her hand.

Cheng Ling put her index finger on her lips to signal Mi Duo to keep quiet.

Mi Duo understood and stood quietly with Cheng Ling.

Speaking of those old ladies, Xie Ying seemed to be a little angry. Thus she said harshly.

“She’s my child and it’s fine as long as I’m satisfied. What are they always gossiping about?”

Cheng Ling had an impression of these old ladies. Xie Ying had stopped working now, so she was often bored at home.

Previously, some old ladies would accompany her for walks and chats. After a while, Xie Ying suddenly stopped interacting with them.

Cheng Ling asked for the reason, but Xie Ying only made a passing remark. Now it seemed that the reason was that those old ladies kept criticizing Cheng Ling in front of Xie Ying. Xie Ying was certainly unhappy when she heard it.

Cheng Ling sighed softly and put the basket on the ground. She walked to the bench at the door and sat down.

The sun had already set halfway, dyeing the surrounding clouds into a beautiful rosy red.

Mi Duo came over and sat on the bench with the chicken in her hand.

After listening to two or three sentences, she roughly knew what Cheng Ling was worried about.

“Humans are social animals. No matter how omnipotent you are, you have to depend on other humans.”

“Grandma really loves you. She has been telling me those stories about you for the past two days.”

Cheng Ling propped her hands on the bench and looked into the distance. It was unknown if she had listened to Mi Duo’s words.

“So sometimes, don’t hide your strength so well. Let grandma show off to others when appropriate. Although you have made her very happy, if she can hear others praise you, the happiness will be doubled..”
