The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 312: Rights and Wrongs

The TV drama Wang Miaomiao mentioned is an adaptation of her original comic book, "Silly Boy’s Military Service."

Initially, she transferred the rights to the film studio, but for various reasons, the project never started filming.

She was just busy with this and that, her schedule was packed, leaving her neither time nor energy to follow up. By the time she remembered, two years had gone by, so she called to inquire about the progress.

Only to find out that they hadn’t started filming due to a lack of funds. When she heard the news, she nearly vomited blood. She had the money, after all, why hadn’t anyone asked her...

Upon learning the situation, she immediately sent the studio money for investment, hoping that her comic could really be made into a TV show and become a classic of the era.

With the funds secured, there were still other issues, but there’s nothing money can’t solve — with money, other problems are just a matter of time.

It took more than a year to actually shoot it, and when it was finally released, it was very well-received and loved by the masses.

So much so that, even after all this time, it still gets replayed occasionally.

On this, Wang Miaomiao expressed her continued support. Each time it’s rerun, she’d get first access to the ad spots, watching the Xuelan Clothing ads.

At this moment, Mr. Jiang enthusiastically started recounting the plot again... to divert his mind.

When Jiang Yan returns, they can start dinner. At the dinner table, noticing the kids seemed less than enthusiastic, just as Jiang Yan was about to ask something, Wang Miaomiao stepped on his foot under the table, interrupting him.

Wang Miaomiao flashed him a meaningful fake smile. Jiang Yan couldn’t guess the reason but knew there was definitely something going on that wasn’t convenient to discuss openly...

This meal was eaten in unprecedented silence. After they dispersed and sent Old Master Jiang back to rest.

Only then did Wang Miaomiao formally ask the kids about what happened today.

Xiao Hanhan, as the elder brother, was regretting not being able to help when his sister was bullied at school, "By the time I got there, Xiao Xuanxuan and that boy had already finished fighting." What a shame...

Xiao Huihui wasn’t keen on such gossip. Knowing his sister was being bullied, he kept an eye on her situation, comforting her whenever she was about to cry... proving himself to be a good brother, too.

Xiao Yeye was still young. While he was present on the scene, seeing his sister being bullied, he directly hit the boy.

However, since the other kid was big and strong, it looked like he couldn’t hold up, so Xiao Xuanxuan joined in, helping her little brother fight the classmate in a two-on-one, naturally achieving victory.

But because the twins were two beating one, and Xiao Yeye was the first to strike, even though they were right, they turned out to be in the wrong.

From the boys’ chaotic accounts, Wang Miaomiao pieced together roughly what had happened.

At this point, Jiang Zhongyi returned after settling Old Master Jiang and recounted the entire story clearly.

This afternoon, he suddenly received a call from the kindergarten teacher, learning from the call that the twins had a fight at school and needed parental mediation.

He rushed over, worried sick about whether the kids were injured. Once he arrived at the school, he saw that Xiao Xuanxuan was fine, but Xiao Yeye had some scratches on his wrist from the other kid.

Looking at the other child, he had scratches on his face and bruises on his body, looking a bit pitiful...

Regardless of what happened, fighting is wrong anywhere, especially if you were the one who hit first, certainly, there would be punishment.

Jiang Zhongyi, seeing this, said nothing but first apologized to the teacher, the other kid, and their parents, and then took the child to the hospital for a check-up, fully covering the medical expenses.

He had a pleasant attitude, acknowledging that the other side was also at fault, so they could only just let it slide.

The cause of the fight, though, was over a toy car.

It turns out that after staying at school for a few days, Xiao Xuanxuan noticed that besides having little friends to play with, there wasn’t much else. The toys here didn’t have as much variety as she had at home.

Kids inevitably like to show off, so every day she packed toys in her little backpack to bring to school.

Kids don’t think too much; seeing a classmate with toys they’ve never seen before, of course, they’d find it novel and want to play with it.

Xiao Xuanxuan was initially generous and would let anyone who asked play for a while, feeling quite happy too.

But today, this little chubby boy didn’t follow the rules. After taking the toy car, whether because he liked it too much or what, he refused to give it back to Xiao Xuanxuan.

This made Xiao Xuanxuan angry, chasing him and demanding it back. Xiao Yeye saw this, stepped in, and hit the other kid. The boy wasn’t patient either, threw the toy car, and the two started fighting.

Since the car wasn’t thrown properly, it hit the ground and broke, making Xiao Xuanxuan even angrier. Seeing Xiao Yeye couldn’t beat him, she rushed in to help, and those scratches on his face were Xiao Xuanxuan’s work.

Once the situation was clear, Wang Miaomiao felt helpless and exasperated. It wasn’t fair to put all the blame on the other kid... and compared to their injuries, her two kids were better off, having no major injuries, just a financial loss, which was actually lucky.

"Miao Miao, do talk it over nicely with Xiao Xuanxuan, don’t scold her, she’s had a rough day too..." Jiang Zhongyi felt sorry for the kids; seeing Jiang Zixuan not smiling after returning, he didn’t have the heart to berate her further.

"Dad, I know, don’t worry, I won’t scold her." Wang Miaomiao agreed readily; she indeed didn’t feel scolding was meaningful. The kids were still young, better to teach them properly. Besides, experiencing some things is good; her kids were too pampered, which wasn’t ideal.

After Jiang Zhongyi left, Wang Miaomiao went to Xiao Xuanxuan’s side. The little girl was still upset, who knows what she was thinking, staring blankly at the toy in her hands. The toy’s shell was broken, it might have been that toy car.

"Xiao Xuanxuan, would you like to talk with mom?" Wang Miaomiao sat beside her, softly beginning the conversation.

Jiang Zixuan looked up, her eyes lacking their usual spark, her mood downcast, "Mom, what do you want to talk about?"

Seeing her like this, Wang Miaomiao felt a bit down herself, "Let’s talk about what happened today. What do you think? Do you feel you were right, or wrong?"

Jiang Zixuan pouted, clearly unhappy, "How was I wrong? I brought toys for all the kids to play with. Wasn’t that wrong? Didn’t the teacher say that good things should be shared with everyone? I kindly shared, yet the chubby boy wanted to hog it all and wouldn’t give it back. How can he be so bad, and not only that, he broke my toy; it was a gift from Sister Xiao Xue. What if Sister Xiao Xue finds out? I didn’t protect the gift she gave me..."
