Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 89: Courtyard House, New Year's Eve Dinner

In the courtyard in the evening.

"Xi Wang, what's wrong with you today? You used to be a more reasonable person."

Since the Chu Xia family left, Xi Wang stopped causing trouble with Cen Zhengshi. When the three of them had dinner in the courtyard at night, Xi Wang and Cen Zhengshi appeared normal, but Jiang Shengnan didn't seem to enjoy the meal.

Xi Wang took off the earring on his earlobe and put it into the jewelry box. She turned around and said, "A crying baby gets milk. We haven't visited your parents' house for so long. If we don't stir things up a bit with the children, how will we know if your parents are biased or not?"

Cen Zhengshi's anger flared up, but he didn't dare to speak loudly, afraid of disturbing his parents in the main room. He pointed at Xi Wang and said, "You're really making a fuss! Did my parents show favoritism? Did you refuse the things my mom sent when you were in the military?"

Xi Wang rolled his eyes, "What does that matter? It's all things that money can buy. The important thing is whether your position can be changed. the capital is so prosperous; why should we stay in those remote mountains with no proper roads? I'm doing it for your own good. For our family to be well, you need to be well."

Cen Zhengshi scratched the back of his head vigorously, looking troubled. "My brother coming to the capital is because of his own abilities, not because of any favoritism from leaders."

Xi Wang stood up, walked over, and stood in front of Cen Zhengshi, looking at him. "Do you believe that? Your father's unit is affiliated with the military. Could Zhengnian have been transferred so easily without their help? I'm not asking your parents to help you get promoted or move to the capital. Just move away from that remote mountain to a place where even buying groceries isn't a challenge. Isn't that too much to ask?"

Cen Zhengshi shook his head, "My parents won't help. They told us after we started working that everything depends on us."

Xi Wang sighed, holding Cen Zhengshi's hand. "Think not only for us but also for the two children. What are the educational conditions in those mountains? How did Xiao Ze and Xin Xin develop so many bad habits? It's all learned in school."

Talking about the two children, Cen Zhengshi also frowned, "What Xin Xin and Xiao Ze did today was indeed wrong. You can't just indulge them blindly."

Xi Wang subconsciously said, "They are still young and don't understand."

Cen Zhengshi's brows furrowed deeply as he said, "They are not that young anymore. Even the children raised in our family compound can be domineering. Look at how much trouble it caused. Do you want to see Xiao Ze and Xin Xin end up like that, eventually causing problems for the whole family?"

Xi Wang stared at his face for a while, realizing that Cen Zhengshi was genuinely concerned about this issue, and what he said was true. She reluctantly nodded, "Alright, then you have to take care of them more in the future. They listen to you. Also, you must discuss the transfer with your parents. Didn't you see today? Mom and Dad do prefer An'an. As soon as he speaks, they believe he's telling the truth and intentionally scare Xiao Ze and Xin Xin."

Xi Wang was genuinely angry at that moment, but she used to care about her image, and just now, she didn't have the patience to control her temper.

Cen Zhengshi sighed helplessly, giving her a glance. "I suggested bringing the children here during the holidays, but you refused. Xiao Ze and Xin Xin haven't spent time with our parents in these years, and Mom and Dad don't understand them. They've lived with An'an, so naturally, they understand his character better."

As a teacher, Xi Wang also had holidays when the children were on break. However, during her vacations, she liked taking the children to her maternal grandmother's house, which happened to be close to their station, right in the city.
