It was only after Chen Meng’er got along with this family that she realized that this was how families got along. Every night, the family would sit around a table, eating and chatting, talking about the interesting things that happened to everyone today. This kind of warmth was what a family was like.
They were not like those upper-class families, where they rarely met, let alone spoke a few words. How could such a family have any feelings?

“Chen Ping, how many times have I told you before? Our daughter’s face is tender, so you can’t pinch it. It hurts the moment you pinch it.” Liu Juan heard her daughter’s pitiful voice, threw away the work in her hands, and walked to Chen Meng’er’s side, she lowered her head and looked at Chen Meng’er’s small face. When she saw the red mark on Chen Meng’er’s face, she fiercely glared at her husband, Chen Ping, she said, “Look, look, Meng’er’s face is red because of your pinching. If Meng’er’s face is damaged by your pinching, you’ll see what I’ll do.”
After Liu Juan reprimanded her husband, Chen Ping, she lowered her head. When she met Chen Meng’er, her face had a 180-degree change. She looked at the red mark on Chen Meng’er’s face with a heartache and said, “Meng’er, be good. Mommy will give you kisses. It won’t hurt anymore.”
“Okay, mommy will give me kisses. It won’t hurt anymore.” Now that Chen Meng’er met Chen Ping and his wife, she would unconsciously act no differently from an ordinary 3-year-old child.

This should also be the reason why Chen Meng’er treated the Chen couple as her parents from the bottom of her heart. That was why she didn’t have any qualms about acting coquettishly with them.
Chen Ping followed the direction of his wife’s finger and saw the red mark on his daughter Chen Meng’er’s face. Instantly, his heart ached and he regretted it. He regretted how mean he was to pinch his daughter’s face. He was a man, so he didn’t pinch her lightly. “Baby, I’m sorry, daddy didn’t do it on purpose. Daddy won’t pinch your face next time.”
“Daddy, it’s okay. Mommy gave me a kiss. It won’t hurt anymore.” Chen Meng’er comforted her father.
However, the more she comforted him, the more Chen Ping’s heart ached and the more he loved Chen Meng’er. He watched as Chen Meng’er finished her breakfast. Then, he scooped Chen Meng’er up from the chair. He said, “Our Meng’er is so obedient.”
Chen Meng’er didn’t say that she said that on purpose. She had planned it well. She wanted to get more love from the Chen couple.
Previously, she had told her mother, Liu Juan, about her father, Chen Ping, for fun. Later on, she told her father and mother that her face didn’t hurt anymore. It really didn’t hurt anymore. That little bit of pain was nothing to Chen Meng’er.
In her previous life, when Chen Meng’er had entered the underworld, she had suffered all kinds of injuries. Every time she was injured, she would only go back to bandage herself. No one would care about her at all. What was more serious was that when Chen Meng’er was fighting with someone, she was careless and got a gunshot wound. At that time, in order not to affect her brain, she did not put any anesthetic on the bullet when she took it out. Chen Meng’er still remembered the pain of taking the bullet out.
If Chen Meng’er could endure such pain, then the pain of her face being pinched red by her father, Chen Ping, was nothing to her.
After cleaning up. Chen Ping held his daughter Chen Meng’er’s little hand and walked towards Principal Chen. Chen Ping wanted to hug his daughter, but his daughter, Chen Meng’er, thought that she had grown up and was about to go to primary school, so she rejected him.

Chen Meng’er said that the children in primary school were not allowed to be hugged by their parents. If Principal Chen saw her being hugged by her father, then Principal Chen might resolutely disagree and not let her go to primary school.

Chen Ping had no room to refute his daughter’s logic. Therefore, he could only compromise.
Chen Meng’er’s house was at the east end of Chen Village, and Principal Chen’s house was at the west end of Chen Village. Therefore, if Chen Meng’er and her father, Chen Ping, wanted to go to Principal Chen’s house, they had to go through the entire Chen Village.
On one side of the Chen Village Road was the house they lived in, and on the other side was the land. As Chen Ping brought Chen Meng’er along the way, the people who worked in the land stopped what they were doing when they saw Chen Ping and his parents, they greeted Chen Ping.

“Yo, Little Ping, this is your daughter, Meng’er, right?” A person who looked like an aunt looked at Chen Meng’er and asked. Chen Meng’er was not like the other children in the village who ran around crazily, so the villagers rarely saw Chen Meng’er,
“Yeah, it’s just my daughter,” Chen Ping said with a smile.
Chen Meng’er was also a person with good eyesight. She did not wait for Chen Ping to speak before she directly called out to them one by one.
“Aiyo, Little Ping, not only is your daughter good-looking, but her small mouth is also so sweet. She really knows how to be polite.”
When Chen Ping heard someone praise his daughter, his heart was beating faster and faster, and it made him happy. However, he said humbly, “Ah, don’t say that. Children are all like that.”
However, Chen Ping could not suppress the smile on his face.
“Little Ping, what are you doing with your daughter?” The aunt asked again.
“I’m going to look for Principal Chen.. I have something to talk to him about,” Chen Ping replied.
