nIn the end, Xie Zhou exchanged the calligraphy painting that the old man had given him for money and obtained the mining rights to the coal mine.

n

nThe news spread through the village, and they praised Xie Zhou even more.

n

nThey were still hoping that Xie Zhou would help them prosper!

n

nDue to this incident, Xie Chaochao and Hei Wa had a disagreement.

n

nNow that Hei Wa had stopped talking about this matter, he continued playing around with Xie Chaochao.

n

nThe children were short-tempered. They had an argument today, but forgot about it in the blink of an eye.

n

nXie Chaochao promised Xie Zhou that she would not skip class anymore.

n

nThe little girl was also afraid that Grandpa would be chased away, so she really stayed in school obediently every day.

n

nWhen she went back at night, she would learn how to draw from Grandpa.

n

nThat day, when Xie Chaochao saw that the old man’s big box was filled with calligraphy paintings, she found it interesting.

n

nThe old man was tempted and asked Xie Chaochao if she was willing to learn drawing from him.

n

n“If I learn how to draw, will I be able to draw Daddy in too?”

n

n“Of course, if you learn how to draw, you can draw anyone you want!”

n

nThe little girl was a little depressed. “But I can’t draw well. Our teacher taught us before, to draw Xiao Hu while looking at it. I couldn’t even draw well like that!”

n

n“Grandpa can teach you. Grandpa’s drawing skills are better than your teacher’s. You will be able to learn quickly!”

n

nThe old man guided her patiently and Xie Chaochao agreed.

n

nHowever, the teaching process was completely different from what the old man had imagined.

n

nAt first, Xie Chaochao listened to him attentively. After a few minutes, she became distracted.

n

nShe either lowered her head to count the ants or played with the little tiger.

n

nOne day, he saw the little girl get a scorpion from somewhere and had a lot of fun with it.

n

nThe old man could not take it anymore.

n

nAfter staying here for this period of time, the old man had also regained his original nature.

n

nBecause of this, he went to look for Xie Zhou.

n

n“Look at how you’ve raised your daughter. She dares to touch any animal. How does she look like a girl?”

n

nWhen the other little girls saw bugs, they would turn pale. Xie Chaochao, on the other hand, went up to them.

n

nRegarding this, Xie Zhou felt that he was in the wrong.

n

nIt was all the fault of the parenting expert he had met in prison. He had said something about letting children interact more with animals.

n

nThat’s why Xie Zhou caught the tiger and fox for her.

n

nWho would have thought that this would happen!

n

nHowever, Xie Zhou refused to be outdone by the old man’s questioning tone.

n

n“My daughter. She can play with whoever she wants. What’s wrong with playing with animals?”

n

nThe old man was no longer afraid of Xie Zhou. He continued firmly, “In the future, let me educate Chaochao. Don’t interfere. Our Chaochao was spoiled by you!”

n

nXie Zhou felt indignant. Why should he let the old man educate his daughter whom he had raised?

n

nBut then he thought about it again. He really didn’t know how to educate children. Before he went to prison, he’d been a teenager. He’d just gotten married, let alone take care of children.

n

nAfter that, he spent ten years in prison and never interacted with any children .

n

nIt was already very thoughtful of him to be able to raise Xie Chaochao like this. There was no need to talk about the problem of parenting.

n

nIn the end, the right to educate Xie Chaochao fell into the old man’s hands.

n

nLittle Chaochao had no idea that because of her, her grandpa and father had once argued.

n

nWhen she came back from school at night to learn painting, Xie Chaochao was still distracted.

n

nThe old man used his trump card. “Chaochao, do you want to eat braised pork trotters?”

n

nXie Chaochao, who was poking an ant’s nest, immediately raised her head and shouted happily, “Yes. Grandpa, are you going to make braised pork trotters?”

n

n“If you master the content I taught you today, I will cook it for you. Whatever you want to eat, I will let you!”

n

n“Really? Okay, I’ll learn, I’ll learn!”

n

nThe little girl leaned on the table in high spirits. Her sitting posture was standard, as if she wanted to properly learn how to draw.

n

nThe old man was very happy. The little greedy cat was the easiest to deal with.
