Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Frustrated Tuanzi
[Ancient Martial System: If her dad hits so hard, there’s a good chance he hits his wife too. Maybe that’s why Yun Xiuxiu always dresses so conservatively.]
Children are ignorant and weak, but as an adult, why doesn’t Yun Xiuxiu resist? With her husband hitting her and her child, she could divorce and get custody of the child.
Tuanzi also thought about this issue.
She pouted, her cheeks puffing up in anger.
Her big black eyes glanced at Lin Ci.
This sister looks a lot like her mother; she’s very pretty for her age. But she’s a quiet and timid girl who likes to talk with her head down, like a wounded little puppy.
[Miaomiao: Should Miaomiao talk to her, or her mom?]
The Ancient Martial System was also unsure; human nature is very complicated.
Soon everyone went back to their homes.
When Gu Peihai got home, he was puzzled when he didn’t see his sister, "Where’s Miaomiao?"
Staff: "She came back a long time ago and hasn’t come out since."
Gu Peihai walked into the room with big steps, didn’t see his sister, looked around, and found her in an empty room without a camera.
His sister faced the wall and squatted down, leaving him with a chubby back view.
His intuition told him that she was not in a good mood.
Thinking of this, Gu Peihai let the cameramen leave to give some space for himself and his sister.
"Miaomiao, what’s wrong?"
Gu Peihai squatted down, patting her small head, finding it fluffy and patting it a few more times.
Tuanzi pouted and lifted her head, her eyes red-rimmed.
"Is Miaomiao very useless?"
The Film Emperor widened his eyes.
"Who says? You’re the most powerful little kid I’ve ever seen; you know martial arts, you can cook, you’re kind-hearted and cute..."
Gu Peihai immediately said a lot of good things.
Tuanzi: (*╹▽╹*)
"So, in Brother Pei Hai’s heart, Miaomiao is this amazing!"
"Of course."
Seeing Tuanzi’s smile return, he reached out to poke her cheek, finding it soft and poking a few more times.
"So, what made our number one Little Heroine in the world so upset?"
Tuanzi sighed theatrically, with her cute little face creating a huge contrast that was irresistibly adorable.
"Sigh, Miaomiao feels like she’s suddenly gotten stupid, can’t think of any solutions."
She briefly explained Lin Ci’s situation.
Her big bright eyes looked pitifully at Gu Peihai, "Miaomiao wants to help but doesn’t know how, what should I do?"
The Film Emperor was taken aback.
He hadn’t expected it to be this matter troubling his sister.
Although he was surprised about Yun Xiuxiu’s family, he was more surprised by his sister’s compassion.
Being upset because she can’t figure out a way to help others, isn’t that just too adorable?
Gu Peihai rubbed his sister’s little cheek forcefully, making the flesh smoosh around.
Tuanzi: "Brother Pei Hai!"
Gu Peihai released his hand, chuckled awkwardly, "Got a little carried away."
He dared not look at his sister’s blushing cheeks after the rubbing.
"This matter is quite complex. If someone can endure grievances and not get divorced, it’s possible they still love the other person, pathetically so. It’s also possible it’s a habit developed over many years, unable to think of resistance. Of course, there’s a certain probability of being coerced."
Tuanzi raised her little head, looking at him in confusion.
Gu Peihai patted her head again.
"Don’t worry, I’ll first have someone investigate, understand the situation, then figure out a plan. After all, the path is for them to choose, even if you want to help, they may not want to take the path you choose, understand?"
Tuanzi nodded like a pecking chicken.
"Miaomiao is just creating an extra path; whether they take it or not is up to them."
Gu Peihai smiled.
He picked up Tuanzi, "Do you think your cousin is cool today?"
"Cool! Smart!"
Tuanzi started giving compliments.
The siblings were having a great time.
When they stepped out of the empty room, the cameras focused on them, leaving the viewers puzzled.
[What happened]
[Miaomiao was suddenly unhappy earlier, hiding in the room alone, and now she’s happy again]
[The Film Emperor is pretty good at making people feel better]
[Why was Miaomiao unhappy before]
[Kids, their emotions are like the weather, unpredictable]
This harmonious atmosphere lasted only until dinner time.
Gu Peihai once again burned the vegetables.
Tuanzi: (▼へ▼メ)
Luckily, they still had fruits and honey pomelo tea.
The sweet pomelo tea made Tuanzi happy again.
Soon, Su Chaomu excitedly ran outside their house, shouting, "Miaomiao, Mrs. Yun is going to sing opera at the village entrance, do you guys want to come listen?"
Tuanzi quickly dragged Gu Peihai outside.
When they arrived, Yun Xiuxiu had already started singing.
Tuanzi couldn’t quite understand but the elderly around were very absorbed.
Later, even Lin Ci sang a few lines.
Tuanzi’s eyes sparkled as she watched her.
The popularity of this live stream room began to soar.
[Is this the charm of opera?]
[I can’t really understand it, but it’s quite impressive]
[I used to think this group was dull, not worth watching, now I realize, anyone on the show must have some skills]
[Lin Ci is so young, and she sings so well. If she keeps practicing, she might become even more famous than her mom in the future]
[Is Yun Xiuxiu really famous? Isn’t opera a niche hobby? Apart from seniors, who listens to it? I usually listen to pop songs]
[Mrs. Yun is a lead actress in Peking opera, and Peking opera is a national treasure, OK?]
[Peking opera is also intangible cultural heritage of the country, I’m young, and I love listening to it; you can’t represent everyone]
[Am I the only one who thinks Yun Xiuxiu is very scheming? Deliberately using this way to attract everyone]
As night deepened, people gradually left, and the village entrance returned to peace.
Tuanzi and a few kids surrounded Lin Ci.
"When you sing, Sister Lin Ci, it seems like you shine."
Tuanzi’s eyes sparkled, admiring her, "Sister, you’re really amazing."
Lin Ci felt a little embarrassed being looked at like this.
"Miaomiao, you, you’re amazing too."
She rarely received compliments. In terms of opera, her mother was always strict with her. As for her father, he always belittled her, thinking learning opera had no future.
"Then we’re both amazing."
Tuanzi smiled brightly, "Miaomiao also wants to learn opera. Can Miaomiao often come to Sister to learn?"
Su Chaomu was unwilling to be left behind, "I want to learn too!"
Several parents stayed back.
Gu Peihai glanced at Yun Xiuxiu’s expression and saw satisfaction in her eyes, so he redirected the conversation to Lin Ci, praised her, said she was talented and resembled Mrs. Yun.
Yun Xiuxiu couldn’t help but feel proud, looking at Lin Ci with anticipation.
Gu Peihai’s gaze slightly flickered.
If she cares about the child, yet would rather have the child be hit than get divorced, is it love in humility, control, or coercion?
The third day of the first episode of the show arrived in a flash.
Tuanzi got up early as usual and pulled back the covers.
"Brother Pei Hai, get up and run!"
Gu Peihai clutched the edge of the bed, refusing to get up no matter what.
"Sleep for five more minutes, just five minutes."
Tuanzi went to wash up and quickly came back.
"Five minutes is up, get up!"
Gu Peihai:
Tuanzi: (╬￣皿￣)
