The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 53 Mrs Harper's Family Dinner

next night.

The front of a classic American detached house.

Monica parked the car and didn't get out of the car in a hurry. Instead, she looked at Peggy in the passenger seat asking, "Is it really okay for us to come as guests without bringing any gifts?"

"What do you want to bring?"

Peggy unbuckled her seat belt and pushed the door to get out of the car.

"A bottle of red wine, at least bring some of my homemade pasta."

Monica quickly got out of the car and followed.

"My manuscript is the best gift."

Peggy disagrees.

Just then, another car drove up.

"It's Sheldon!"

Peggy smiled and stopped to look at the approaching car.

"You guys came first."

Little Sheldon came out of the passenger cab and frowned at Peggy who was standing in front of the door.

"Just arrived."

Peggy laughed.

"Hi, I'm Monica."

Letting the two girls talk, Monica smiled at the expressionless Beverly with some restraint.

"Hi, Dr. Beverly Hofstadter."

Beverly nodded to Monica flatly, and introduced herself.

"I'm Peggy's guardian."

Monica felt this indifference and felt embarrassed. She knew that the most appropriate thing to do at this time was to stop talking, but she couldn't help but say something.

"Of course."

After hearing Peggy's word, Beverly raised her glasses, looked at Monica squarely, and showed a smile of interest: "How long have you been a guardian?"

"Not long."

Monica was flattered to see that Dr. Lengmian took the initiative to talk to her, and she quickly answered every question, feeling quite happy in her heart.

Since receiving the strategic guidance from the genius girl Peggy, she seems to have become transparent, and she seems to exude an aura of great intelligence, so much so that now even Dr. Cold Face looks at her differently.

so good.

"Peggy is a genius boy like Sheldon, so, how does it feel to be her guardian?"

Beverly continued to ask.

"pretty good."

Monica subconsciously glanced at Peggy not far away, lowered her voice and said, "Although I am taking care of her in life, she also gave me a lot of guidance."

"Of course."

Beverly nodded.

"..."

Monica looked at Beverly, who had a natural expression, and understood the hidden meaning of the other party no matter how dull she was, and suddenly became a little unhappy.

Some words can be said by oneself, but if the other party agrees, that is another matter.

Not to mention that now Beverly not only agrees, but also shows a deeper disapproval of her ability than her self-mockery and self-deprecation.

"Tell me in detail how you feel."

Beverly continued to ask.

What kind of experience is it for an ordinary person to be the guardian of a genius?
For her, she has long wanted to carry out this subject.

When Little Sheldon came to visit accompanied by his mother Mary, she consulted Mary immediately.

It's just that the result is not very good, because Mary seems to be very resistant to this topic, so that there has been little progress on this topic.

Although Little Sheldon is now under her guardianship, it is a pity that she is not an ordinary person.

Monica wanted to ignore the irritating Beverly, but when she saw the confident eyes of the other party, she felt a sense of emptiness inexplicably. It was because the scumbags did not have the confidence to treat the gods of learning. Thinking that Chuck hadn't come yet, I can't fall out now, or it will be more embarrassing if I keep waiting. I can only answer Beverly's harsh and very harsh questions one after another.

When Chuck took the time to drive and park in front of the single house, what he saw was a tearful Monica standing there crying.

"God, I'm the girl in the family, the youngest one, but my parents don't care at all, they only have this brother in their eyes, Rose! The genius Rose! Their pride Rose! The Rose that all the neighbor girls have a crush on! Damn Yeah! Are they blind? My brother Ross is just a normal nerd with a crush on his sister's bestie, a loser who can't find a date at prom, where are all the neighbor girls They all have a crush on him?"

"It's so normal."

Beverly frowned.

She saw that Monica was a Jew, and saw that the other party resisted her question, so she designed to open Monica's defense first, and then asked the answer she wanted.

And this is too easy for her, a neurologist, psychiatrist, parenting expert, and well-known author.

One question made the other party cry, and he opened his heart defense, but what he didn't expect was that he couldn't close it after opening it. The other party talked endlessly about the complaints about the family's patriarchy over the years, without any intention of stopping.

"This is the most common phenomenon in Jewish families. The Old Testament of the Bible says that even if you have no children, you will still die. The Talmud, a book of Jewish wisdom, once said that for Jewish parents, sons are more favored because they can grow old when they are old." As a support, a daughter is useless wealth. Parents often have to worry about their daughter so much that they can't sleep at night.

Beverly frowned.

Before she finished speaking, Monica cried louder: "But I don't need them to worry about it since I was a child, because there is no articulation, and I am so fat that I can't go wrong."

"There is also the following. When you get married, you are afraid that she will not be able to marry. After you get married, you are afraid that she will not have children. When you are old, you have to worry that she will practice witchcraft. Therefore, when the prophets in the Old Testament blessed believers, they would say, May you have a son. , because the daughter needs to be taken care of carefully.”

Beverly added.

Monica burst into tears when she heard it, and it hurt her heart when she cried. Those who heard it were sad and those who saw it shed tears. Even Professor Alicia Harper, who was busy walking around in the single building, finally heard the news and left. He came out and asked with concern: "What's the matter?"

"Dr. Hofstadter made Mona cry."

Peggy smiled playfully, "Chuck, do you have anything to say?"

When Monica heard this, she looked over with tears in her eyes.

"Dr. Hofstadter, what do you think of the Old Testament and the Talmud?"

Chuck looked at the Lord.

"Of course it's all nonsense!"

Beverly said naturally.

Little Sheldon nodded in agreement.

What they believe in is science. In their eyes, God does not exist, let alone the Bible and wisdom books. This is one of the important reasons why the devout Mary hates Beverly the most.

"See?"

Chuck nodded to a teary-eyed Monica and walked over to Professor Alicia Harper.

"What did you see?"

Seeing Chuck's attitude, Monica couldn't help being anxious.

"Dr. Hofstadter used what she thought was nonsense to give you psychological counseling, but you cried like this. What is this?"

Chuck frowned.

Monica: "..."

Does this mean you are stupid?
Monica was wronged, but seeing Chuck's frown, she subconsciously avoided her eyes again, and didn't say something like 'you are heartless, shameless and unreasonable'. Her eyes fell on the calm Beverly's face, and she said angrily :"why?"
