Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2360: Chapter 2354: You Don’t Need to Understand This

”You’re being a bit unreasonable, you know. If you’ve got the guts, go tell Auntie yourself.” Ye Li looked at Ye Zishu, who was cursing. This kind of talk from a girl—if her mother heard, she’d be in for it.

And this isn’t something a girl should be saying. In their family, it might not matter, but in someone else’s, they’d definitely be dismissive. In that scenario, he had no idea what others would think of Ye Zishu or how they’d treat her.

”Hmph, that’s all you can say. If you’ve got the guts, tell her not to listen to you so much and listen to me more. Then I’d have to thank you.” Ye Zishu thought about how every time she spoke, her mother never believed her, but whenever Ye Li spoke, she believed him. Sometimes she thought Ye Li was their real child, and she was picked up from somewhere. She had this thought more than once, but she knew very clearly that she was their biological child, which really drove her mad.

”You can’t blame others if your own credibility is poor. That’s something you need to build, it’s something you have to work on.” At this point, he found Ye Zishu amusingly frustrating.

”Hmph, when have I ever lacked credibility? This isn’t something I did! I didn’t do anything at all, got it?” Ye Zishu didn’t know what to say. She hadn’t done anything wrong, so why couldn’t she earn her mother’s trust?

”Then it’s a matter of character for you. It’s because you didn’t meet Auntie’s expectations that she doesn’t trust you. If you could be like me, I believe you’d do even better.” Ye Li believed this because Ye Zishu was their biological child after all, while he was just a nephew, blood-related but not direct. Her uncle and aunt probably wanted to motivate Ye Zishu, so she’d understand that although her parents loved her, they wouldn’t always indulge her.

But clearly, Ye Zishu didn’t understand her parents’ good intentions. How should he explain it to her? He could tell they were doing it for her own good, but her thinking made her feel unloved by them, which left him clueless about how best to explain it. He felt like he was exerting too much effort on this.

”You know I can never surpass you.” Ye Zishu thought Ye Li was like some kind of prodigy. Others studied hard but still couldn’t excel, while he slept all day and still had excellent grades. She felt it was unfair and thought people like him, favored by fortune, were enviable enough to make someone want to beat him.

So when Ye Li said she should be like him, it was impossible. She couldn’t do it. How many people in this world could manage that?

Ye Zishu felt Ye Li was making things difficult for her. If she could really do it, she wouldn’t need him to tell her. But it was truly challenging; she wanted to do it but couldn’t, so she had to brainstorm ideas to find a way. As for her parents, she’d just let things be as she thought before.

”I can’t understand what you’re saying.” Qin Jiale thought they were speaking in riddles. The words were understandable, but their meaning seemed unclear.

”You don’t need to understand. Just tell me where your brother-in-law is taking you for the exam. What’s the principal’s name, or his family’s?” Ye Li didn’t bother explaining to Qin Jiale and instead asked her something else. Without finding out, how could he handle things?
