Chapter 14 - 13 At Least Still Alive
Gong Ruini listened as both families, including her parents and older brother, focused on her with laughter, tears streaming down like a river.
How could they mock a child like this? If she had known, she wouldn’t have spoken up.
After expressing her thoughts, Gong Ruini noticed the adults were looking at her with astonished eyes, and she realized something was wrong. She immediately spoke two sentences with a child’s tone.
She initially wanted them to see that she wasn’t that mature, but instead, it made them laugh at her, leaving Gong Ruini quite helpless.
"Stop laughing, stop laughing," Gong Ruini couldn’t endure it anymore and kept banging on the table.
"Don’t you think what I said makes sense?" Humph, a bunch of people without aspirations, "We must have aspirations. My goal is to eat well, drink well, and become a knowledgeable lady."
Gong Tao was initially amused by his daughter’s small body trying to act like an adult, finding her very amusing, but he was stunned by her last sentence.
Even before his daughter was born, society became tumultuous, and the desire for learning wasn’t strong. There was a sense of pride in being illiterate, yet his daughter wanted to study. Could it be because she saw the couple reading at home?
Zhao Gang and Zhan Jing also stopped laughing, they just quietly looked at Gong Ruini.
