Chapter 764: The Diamond Ring
One after another, the invited guests appeared and walked into Natsui Makoto’s home. Every single one of them noticed the pigeon egg diamond ring on her left ring finger.
The reason why Natsui Makoto would only wear jewelry on the top of her left ring finger but not on her ears, neck, or wrists was because she didn’t want to give off a tacky look of a thug, and the other was not her preferred personal style.
Kasukabe’s mom and her own husband with their two children were appeared together in front of her. Kasukabe’s mother’s eldest child was already in elementary school.
When they’re in elementary school, they don’t let their parents worry too much. They would generally go to school alone or with their best friends in the same direction, and then return home from school together.
Although there are no school buses in Japan as there are in the United States, the safety of the children is pretty much guaranteed. This is especially true in affluent neighborhoods such as Roppongi, Nishi-Azabu, Shirokane, and Aoyama in Minato-ku, where there are police officers standing guard or patrolling the streets, as well as surveillance.
As for Adachi Ward, where delinquents are ranked the highest of Tokyo’s twenty-three wards, more than ten times higher than in second place, there are elementary school students who dare to threaten and intimidate adults.
In the worst neighborhoods in Adachi, reasoning is often the least effective and is seen as a sign of weakness and cowardice.
Whoever has the hardest fists and can fight, is a bully, and whoever is able to mix well in this neighborhood, has face, and can speak in a customary manner.
This creates a complete social contrast. Wealthy neighborhoods and poor neighborhoods live above the people, in addition to each other naturally do not deal with the class attribute, everyone will take the initiative to isolate themselves, well water does not offend the river water.
Even the punks in the poorer neighborhoods know that they can extort and rob more money in the richer neighborhoods, but they don’t go there on their own initiative.
The fact that there are so many police and surveillance is one thing, but another is that they are like animals that have a strong sense of identity with their own territory, and prefer to stay in their own familiar territory.
They would be especially wary of strange faces and outsiders, as if they had a feeling of being invaded, and would even take the initiative to go up and question them.
“I usually see you as quite a simple woman. This is nothing more than thinking that your family is as frugal as ours for the sake of your child’s future.
Today, you really surprised me. I really didn’t expect you to be this bejeweled and rich.” Kasukabe’s mom really didn’t say it jokingly.
Within the many mothers, Natsui Makoto and the other party were considered to be the most talkative and close. This was mainly because both of them were very ordinary on top of their daily wear.
They were not at all like some moms who were very high-profile, either holding LV handbags, driving BMW cars, or showing off and bragging about how capable their husbands were.
Natsui Makoto smiled slightly and said, “Are you scolding me?”
“You’re really too much of a worrywart. How could I be scolding you? Originally, there were people who wanted to see your jokes and see you make a fool of yourself, but they didn’t expect to make a fool of themselves.
Not to mention your family’s house in a prime location, the diamond ring you’re wearing on your finger, I’m afraid it’s something that person can’t afford to buy in his whole life.
Inside the weekdays, you have not not seen her especially flamboyant, from time to time to put her that a diamond wedding ring in front of everyone’s show out to show off. Her diamond ring and your diamond ring compared, that is simply dregs.
I wondered how sad that person’s heart would be at that moment, if she wanted to find a crack in the ground and drill into it.” Kasukabe’s mom smiled wider and wider.
Not only had she long disliked the other person, but she had also been subjected to that person’s verbal jabs and snide remarks during the day.
Natsui Makoto fully understood who she was referring to and said, “The natural white loose diamonds in her wedding ring should be about two or three carats.
In addition to the weight, the cut, color, and clarity are all okay, and it’s also a well-known big brand. Not to mention that I’ve never wanted to compete with anyone for a you-are-stronger-than-me.”
“Just because you don’t want to, doesn’t mean others don’t. Even though everyone’s children are inside the same early childhood class, it doesn’t mean that all of our children will be able to enter Little Drops Kindergarten.
There are only a limited number of places available, and you have two children, both of whom are favored by the teachers. If your son or daughter gets a place, that means there are even fewer places left, and the competition will become fiercer and fiercer.
The best way to combat your rivals is to make a fool out of yourself and withdraw from the competition. Now that I’ve seen your family’s level of wealth and prosperity, I finally understand the reasoning behind it all.
In advance, I would like to congratulate your family, Mika and Makoto, for being able to enroll in the most prestigious of the prestigious private schools, the Little Drops Kindergarten.” Kasukabe’s mom said bluntly.
“My family Makoto and Mika were able to be looked upon favorably by the teachers, that’s because they’re already smart, it’s in no way because of anything our family sent in private.” Natsui Makoto explained in a serious manner.
“I know, I know.” Kasukabe’s mother said this with her mouth, but in her heart, she thought, “Even if your two children aren’t smart, they’re still able to attend Little Drops Kindergarten.
Unlike her own children who need to actively fight for it, she only hoped that they would be able to become classmates and good friends with future high-ranking government officials and executives of large companies, and then expand their future connections and paths.
Donating money or in-kind goods in exchange for a place at a prestigious private school is not a big deal for the rich, but for the middle class, it’s a big deal.
“Is your child sure of enrolling in Little Drops Kindergarten?” Natsui Makoto asked with a sense of purpose.
“It’s a bit more difficult. On top of that, it depends on whether he has a good luck or not. As we all know, the reason why Little Drops Kindergarten is known as one of the most prestigious private schools is that prime ministers and ministers of the government, as well as CEOs, presidents, and chairmen of large companies have come out of it. ……
If my child can’t go to the school, I have no regrets and no shame. It’s a big deal to go to another prestigious private kindergarten.
Although they are not as good as the Little Drops Kindergarten, they are much better than the public kindergartens.
In any case, the middle and senior cadres in large companies, the elite bureaucrats in government departments are also out of the good some.
I’m not as stressed as that guy. As far as I know, she is also not a rich family’s young lady origin. The reason why she is able to have today is that when she was a nurse, she took the initiative to throw herself at her husband, who is now the dean of the school, and then she had a child.
It must be that she had her eye on someone else’s private hospital in the first place. Although she was married with a child, she would have little status to speak of in her husband’s family.
This in order to reflect her own value, as well as her husband’s family’s approval, naturally she had to do everything and a million things to send her son to the Little Drops Kindergarten.” Kasukabe’s mom had a word to say.
“After hearing you say that, she’s also a strangely unforgiving woman.” Natsui Makoto said with emotion.
“People are supposed to be self-aware. You clearly don’t belong to that one world, and you have to go towards it. Even if you enter it, you’re still not treated or recognized, so why bother?” Kasukabe’s mom spoke some of her true heartfelt words and said.
