The Daily Life of American Drama Detective

Chapter 53 Mrs. Harper’s Family Dinner

The next night.

In front of a classic American-style single-family house.

Monica parked the car and did not get out of the car in a hurry. Instead, she looked at Peggy in the passenger seat inquiringly: "Is it really okay for us to be guests and not bring any gifts?"

"What do you want to bring?"

Peggy immediately unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car.

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

Monica quickly got out of the car and followed.

"My manuscript is the best gift."

Peggy disagreed.

Just then, another car came.

"It's Sheldon!"

Peggy smiled and stopped to look at the approaching car.

"You guys came first."

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

"Just arrived."

Peggy smiled.

"Hello, I'm Monica."

The two children were allowed to talk, and Monica smiled a little reservedly at the expressionless Beverly.

"Hello, Dr. Beverly Hofstadter."

Beverly nodded calmly to Monica and introduced herself.

"I am Peggy's guardian."

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

"Of course."

After hearing the word Peggy, Beverly raised her glasses and began to look at Monica, showing an interested smile: "How long have you been a guardian?"

"Not long."

Monica was flattered when she saw Dr. Cold-faced actually taking the initiative to talk to her. She quickly answered all her questions, feeling quite happy in her heart.

Ever since she received the strategic guidance from the genius girl Peggy, her whole person seemed to be enlightened, and she seemed to be exuding an aura of great wisdom, so much so that even the cold-faced doctor now looked at her differently.

so good.

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

Beverly continued to ask.

"fine."

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 such a natural expression. No matter how slow she was, she understood the other person's hidden meaning, and suddenly became a little unhappy.

You can say some things yourself, but if the other person agrees, that's another matter.

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

"Tell me more about how you feel."

Beverly continued to ask.

What is it like for an ordinary person to be the guardian of a talented boy?

For her, she has long wanted to pursue this subject.

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

But the result was not very good, because Mary seemed to be very resistant to this topic, so there was not much progress on this topic.

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

Monica wanted to ignore the somewhat irritating Beverly, but when she saw the confident look in her eyes, she felt inexplicably weak in her heart. It was because the scumbag did not have enough confidence in the academic gods. She thought that Chuck hadn't come yet.

We couldn't have a falling out now, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing if we kept waiting. We could only answer Beverly's harsh and very harsh questions.

When Chuck took the time to drive to the door of the single-family house, he saw 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 see Ross as their brother! The genius Ross! Their proud Ross! The Ross who all the neighbor girls have a crush on! Damn it.

Yes! Are they blind? My brother Ross is just an ordinary otaku. He even has a crush on his sister's best friend. He is a loser who can't find a dance partner for the graduation prom. Where do all the neighbor girls come from?

Do you all have a crush on him?"

"This is so normal."

Beverly frowned.

She saw that Monica was Jewish and saw that the other party was somewhat resistant to her questions, so she first designed to open up Monica's defenses, and then asked for the answers she wanted.

But this is too easy for her, who is a neuroscientist, psychiatrist, parenting expert and well-known author.

One question made the other party cry and opened up his defenses. But what he didn't expect was that once he opened it, he couldn't close it. The other party kept talking about his complaints about the family's preference for sons over daughters 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 a childless child is still dead. The Talmud, the book of Jewish wisdom, once said that for Jewish parents, sons are more favored because they are more mature when they are old.

As a support, a daughter is a useless asset. Parents often have to worry about their daughter to the point where they can’t sleep at night. When they were young, they were worried that she would be deceived, and when she grew up, they were worried that she would go astray..."

Beverly said with a frown.

Before she finished speaking, Monica cried louder and louder: "But I don't have to worry about them since I was a child, because no one has articulation at all, and I am so fat that I can't walk in evil ways."

"Later, when I got married, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get married, after getting married, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to have children, and when she got old, I was afraid that she would practice witchcraft. So when the prophets in the Old Testament blessed believers, they would say, may you have a son.

, because my daughter needs to be taken good care of."

Beverly added.

Monica burst into tears when she heard it. She cried so much that it broke her heart. Those who heard it were heartbroken and those who saw it shed tears. Even Professor Alicia Harper, who was busy walking around alone in a single building, finally heard the noise and left.

He came out and asked with concern: "What's going on?"

"Dr. Hofstadter made Mona cry."

Peggy smiled playfully and said, "Chuck, don't 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 of the Bible and the Talmud, the book of wisdom?"

Chuck looked at the real owner.

"Of course it's all nonsense!"

Beverly said matter-of-factly.

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 Mary, a devout believer, is most disgusted with Beverly.

"Did you see that?"

Chuck nodded to the tearful Monica and walked towards Professor Alicia Harper.

"What did you see?"

Monica couldn't help but become anxious when she saw Chuck's attitude.

"Dr. Hofstadter uses words that she thinks are nonsense to give you psychological counseling, but you cry like this. What is this?"

Chuck frowned.

Monica: "..."

Does this mean you are stupid?

Monica felt aggrieved, but looking at Chuck's frown, she subconsciously averted her eyes and did not say anything like "You are heartless, shameless and unreasonable". Her eyes fell on the calm Beverly's face and she said angrily.

:"Why?"
