Chapter 850: Cousin

Zhao Rong is treated more favorably in other aspects, and all aspects of his life can be said to be much higher than others. Not to mention his clothes throughout the year, he always has twice as much clothes as his other brothers and sisters, and his usual pocket money is far ahead of other siblings.

But in fact, this money has no meaning to Zhao Rong at all. Because, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, every day he needs to go to the old gentleman to study. Even if the old gentleman was ill or didn't have the heart to teach Zhao Rong a lesson, Zhao Rong still needed to stay in the school for a full day.

Even if he was alone, facing a room full of unreadable books, he still had to stay in the academy for enough hours before he could come out.

But Zhao Rong had no way to object to such a request, after all, his brothers and sisters also needed to learn. His brothers usually spend the same amount of time in home school as they do in the school, and the sisters are also taught by their grandmothers.

So even if Zhao Rong felt that he stayed in the school every day, he didn't learn anything, except that he was more disappointed day by day. Aside from growing confidence in his talent, he didn't learn anything at all. Even the words that I barely knew, I completely relied on my own strength and memorized them hard. On the bright side, he couldn't find any reason to ask himself not to study in the school.

And for Xiao Tao, Zhao Rong is getting colder and colder, this can't be driven away, and the person who has to be placed next to him didn't stand with him at all, but stood next to him, constantly observing his every move with his two eyes, his two ears were erected high, listening to any sound that happened on his side, but if there was anything, he would quickly report it to the old lady. This feeling of suffocation made Zhao Rong more and more ruthless in the face of Xiao Tao, which was also a kind of disguise and protection for himself.

Later, gradually, Zhao Rong was very glad that he was able to spend most of his time in the academy. After all, he needs to stay in the academy for a daytime, although the old gentleman will not explain anything to him and will not teach any knowledge, but in the academy, he can still avoid other people, and most importantly, he can avoid the surveillance of Xiao Tao's ears.

In the academy, as long as he doesn't make any noise, then the old gentleman won't pay attention to him. At that time, Zhao Rong felt that his mind could be relaxed and liberated for a moment.

Don't care if you're inappropriate or forced to be expressionless. Here, as long as he holds a book and pretends to look at it, he can actually have a flying horse in his head, and he can fully immerse himself in his own world.

Of course, there is a price for him to be able to be so free, after all, even if Zhao Rong's family does not have any requirements for his studies, the old gentleman will still have time, condescending to turn his gaze to Zhao Rong and glance at him for a moment or two. But then, the old gentleman would look away, as if he had seen something dirty, frowning, shaking his head, and sighing.

At the beginning, seeing the old gentleman's reaction, Zhao Rong felt a little uncomfortable and frustrated, after all, the old gentleman's disappointment and contempt for himself could be regarded as a clear performance. But gradually, Zhao Rong has become accustomed to it. He felt that as the old gentleman said, he was not talented in reading, and his qualifications were not even comparable to ordinary people.

Because of her own appearance, her mother ordered the whole family not to talk about learning when they gathered. The father would not praise any other child in front of the whole family for how good he was in learning. This was all to take care of Zhao Rong's emotions, but the more they did this, the more uncomfortable Zhao Rong felt.

Even though it was rare for him to meet his brothers and sisters, but from the few rare opportunities, from the eyes they looked at, Zhao Rong could still clearly feel their jealousy and contempt for him.

Sometimes, Zhao Rong also had to think that with his qualifications, it was hard to blame his brothers and sisters for being so disgusted with him. After all, a person with such poor talent has occupied so many good resources and benefits, but has achieved very few achievements, it is no wonder that they will have such emotions towards themselves.

And often at this time, Zhao Rong's requirements for his own food will become more demanding. Of course, this is also thanks to Zhao Rong's good nature and open-mindedness, otherwise, I don't know what kind of awkward and gloomy character he is going to become now.

But no matter what, Zhao Rong's living environment is still very simple. With such a little spy who follows him anytime and anywhere, and will report his whereabouts and behavior to others, Zhao Rong also cares about his usual performance.

When he was at home, he also paid attention to his speech and demeanor all the time, and didn't want Xiao Tao to seize any opportunity to sue himself, and he didn't want his mother to worry about himself.

So Zhao Rong soon found that if he no longer cared about other people in his family, he only cared about himself. Just talk about some of your own life and even make some excessive demands. But often these things do not attract the mother's preaching, but can quickly realize their wishes.

This is also another way for Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao to get along later. As long as he only shows that he cares about his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, shows that he has no interest in other people, and does not react to how his brothers and sisters see him, it seems that his mother can rest assured.

For Zhao Rong, he was still a little puzzled, but soon, he convinced himself. Obviously, my mother hopes that I can concentrate on my studies, even if my talent is not high, but I can make progress mainly through acquired efforts.

So for a while, Zhao Rong was actually studying hard. But there is no guidance, or guidance for the old gentleman, there are some things that are more incomprehensible, so that even if Zhao Rong wants to work hard, he will not make much progress with half the effort.

But just like that, when he was at home, he and Xiao Tao were okay. If it weren't for the incident that happened later, he and Xiao Tao wouldn't have been able to tolerate him anymore.

Thinking of that, Zhao Rong's mood was a little depressed. After a while, he talked about the past in a low voice, "Second brother, you don't know, I used to have a better sister. She was a distant niece of my mother. “
