How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Chapter 177

Xia Chu smiled and said, "The kids are arguing, I'll go take a look first."

Jiang Tunan raised his eyebrows and thought, aren't you two about the same age?

After a while, the three girls disappeared. Xia Chu hadn't looked for Mr. Jia and didn't know the way, so she just asked a servant to take her there. After walking a few steps, she ran into Mrs. Jia.

"Xia Xia? Why aren't you in class at this time?" Mrs. Jia asked curiously.

"Aunt..." Xia Chu hesitated to tell her what had just happened, but Madam Jia had already seen through her expression, "What's the problem? You can tell me, aunt."

"Wanlin..." Would Jia Wanlin be scolded if she told him this? But since it had been revealed to Old Master Jia, she probably couldn't hide it from Madam Jia. With this in mind, she simply told the truth, "Wanlin just had an argument with Tian Mier, and Tian Mier said she wanted to look for her grandmother."

She glanced at Madam Jia and noticed her frown, her face full of displeasure. She continued, "I suppose this is all because of me. Wanlin's grandmother must have asked my aunt to stop me from attending school. As soon as Tian Mier saw me today, she said my aunt didn't listen to her grandmother and said she was going back to complain. Wanlin was very angry and said she would ask Grandpa to stop her from coming. The three of them must have already arrived in front of Grandpa by now."

"Why is this girl so reckless all of a sudden?" Madam Jia sighed, "I'll go over and take a look."

"I'll go too. After all, it was my fault." Xia Chu followed and said.

"What's the big deal? I was negligent before. I didn't realize Mi'er was acting so arrogantly in front of Wanlin and Wanqing, and I really wronged them." Madam Jia was a little helpless. "I was doing it for Mi'er's mother's sake. She was young, and I was busy with the affairs of the mansion. Sometimes I didn't even have time to listen to the whole story, so I let Wanlin give in to her younger sister. If it weren't for what happened with you last time, I wouldn't have known Wanlin was so angry."

They are all children, so why distinguish between big and small? She thought that Tian Mier was a very cautious person, and her arrogant and unreasonable behavior would be difficult to change.

"She's angry today, probably because she saw me having a headache yesterday and felt sorry for me." As she said this, Madam Jia felt a warm glow in her heart. But she was also a little worried. Her sister was unreasonable, and her mother favored her. She'd scolded her for half an hour yesterday, and finally, she'd just agreed on the surface. But she was secretly disobeying and didn't do what she was told. Who could have known Mi'er would say such a thing? Did she really think she was a soft persimmon that could be easily manipulated?

Madam Jia narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression cold. Back when she was in the mansion, she loved to steal my things, and now she even dares to bully her own daughter. She doesn't want to give me face. If I treat you as a relative, you still have some face. What if I don't treat you as a relative? You're not my mother, just a concubine. You really take yourself too seriously.

Grandpa Jia was playing chess in the yard when he saw his eldest granddaughter coming over angrily, tears in her eyes, as if she had been wronged. He put down the chess piece and asked, "What happened? Who made our Wanlin angry?"

"Grandpa~" Jia Wanlin remained silent, her mouth pursed as if she were about to cry. She had been filled with grievances, but seeing Grandpa, she couldn't speak. Mother had once said that opening the family school to the public was also to win over people. She shouldn't have acted on impulse. This little thing had been brought up in front of Grandpa, and it would have affected her mother's family, which would have been embarrassing for her mother.

"What's wrong? Did the teacher scold you?" Old Master Jia asked her to sit down, his eyes full of love. "Talk to Grandpa?"

"Nothing." Jia Wanlin shook his head and didn't want to say anything more.

Jia Wanqing was still a little confused and stood aside, not knowing what to say.

"Wanqing, come and sit down. Are you tired from class and want to come over and slack off?" Old Master Jia joked, "Didn't you go out to play with your aunt yesterday? Didn't you have enough fun?"

"Grandpa Jia." Tian Mi'er was a few steps slower than the Jia sisters and didn't hear what Jia Wanlin said. She had thought a lot along the way. If Grandpa Jia really didn't let her come, she would definitely argue with him! If she really didn't want to come, she could go to her aunt. Her aunt was afraid of her grandmother. Her grandmother loved her the most. If she cried and made a fuss, Jia Wanlin might even be punished. Just like every time before, those who went against her would not have a good end!

"Mi'er, why aren't you all in class?" Grandpa Jia had a vague idea: the three children were probably arguing. He knew them all well. Wanlin was a quiet, well-behaved child who didn't cause any trouble. Wanqing was a bit dazed, but also an honest child. Only Tian Mi'er was different. Spoiled by her family, she was stubborn and willful. If there was any trouble, it was usually because of her. However, he didn't show it on his face, and treated all three children with the same kindness.

Tian Mier rolled her eyes and pretended to be aggrieved and pitiful. "Grandpa Jia, I don't know why Wanlin got angry with me. She even said she would come to find you. She will never allow me to come to the Jia family again."

Jia Wanlin turned around in astonishment. She hadn't expected someone to be the first to complain. Just as she was about to retort, she saw her mother approaching. Her face was serious, and Cousin Xia was following behind her. Her heart tightened. She habitually panicked, thinking her mother was going to lecture her again, and whispered, "Mom."

"Aunt." Jia Wanqing quickly stood up and saluted.

Mrs. Jia smiled and touched her face, then spoke to Mr. Jia first, "Dad, the children are naughty and disturbed you."

"They're all my granddaughters, how can I say I'm disturbing them?" Grandpa Jia waved his hand. "The children seemed to be arguing. I was just asking. Mi'er said Wanlin wanted to chase her away, but Wanlin didn't say a word."

"Grandfather." Xia Chu came over and bowed lightly. Old Master Jia smiled at her warmly. "How is your mother?"

"Very good. Doctor Gong's Five Animal Exercises are indeed effective. Mother can eat more and sleep longer every day." Xia Chu replied.

"That's good." Old Master Jia nodded. In fact, someone came to report to him about Jia Qingwu's situation every day, but he still couldn't help but ask a few questions.

After Xia Chu and Old Master Jia finished speaking, Madam Jia looked at Tian Mier with a cold face, "Wan Lin, why did you chase me away for no reason?"

"How should I know?" Tian Mi'er pouted. "Aunt, you should take care of Wanlin. She's so unreasonable."

Jia Wanlin opened his mouth in shock, about to say something, but swallowed it back. Whenever he and Tian Mier had a conflict, his mother would always listen to her side of the story, never giving him a chance to explain. Even if he did, it was usually useless.

Maybe this time, it would be the same. She suddenly didn't want to say anything, but the grievance in her heart was getting bigger and bigger.
