Chapter 120 Stealing Again (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Cui's expression changed repeatedly; Hong Lanlan was indeed capable of doing this.

But she couldn't swallow this insult.

They couldn't bully Wang Jing, and they were turned away by Hong Lanlan.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Zhang Cui snorted coldly, "If you dare to go around talking nonsense at the school gate, I'll tell everyone about your affairs too."

"What do you have to say about me?"

“Cai Qinqin has always said that you seduced Wang Shuncai. Now that she’s gone, it’s given you the opportunity. I heard that when Wang Shuncai was still at home, you often found excuses to meet with him.”

Zhang Cui spoke in a very convincing manner, as if it were a true story.

Hong Lanlan was displeased and reminded her, "I didn't do that at all, don't spread rumors."

"If you didn't do that, why would Wang Shun give you money voluntarily? Cai Qinqin argued with you about this, and everyone here knows about it. Do you need me to tell you more details?"

The residents of the family compound started talking about it again.

“Hong Lanlan has always denied that she seduced Wang Shuncai, but Cai Qinqin was willing to be kicked out of the family compound just to have a fight with her and make her return the money. In the end, nothing came of it.”

"Hong Lanlan usually seems like a nice person, how could she do such a thing?"

"You can know a person's face but not their heart; who knows what they're really up to?"

"In the future, we should keep her away from the men in her family. If she causes any trouble, it will be too late to cry."

Zhang Cui listened to the discussions around her and was quite satisfied.

"Now that everyone knows you're a promiscuous person, how many people will still believe what you say?" Zhang Cui looked at Hong Lanlan provocatively.

Hong Lanlan angrily rebuked those who were gossiping, "Can you all shut up! Stop talking nonsense if you don't know the facts."

"What, are you scared? Afraid that this will reach your husband's ears? So you can be scared sometimes, that's really something."

Zhang Cui smiled even more happily, all the gloom from before vanished.

"Zhang Cui, how dare you laugh? You've raised a thief, look how proud you are!" Hong Lanlan was furious and attacked everyone she disliked indiscriminately.

Zhang Cui's smile froze, and she deliberately cautioned, "You'd better not talk nonsense."

"How did I say anything wrong? I was just stating the facts, why are you angry? Did I step on your tail?" Hong Lanlan thought to herself, rather than trying to reason with someone, it's better to face the storm together.

“My Tianyu didn’t steal anything. Those things have already been returned. Did you return the money you took from Wang Shuncai?” Zhang Cui immediately pressed.

Hong Lanlan only picked up on Zhou Tianyu's matter, asking in return, "Since you don't admit to stealing, why do you still want compensation? Is it too much stuff to burn?"

"In short, my family doesn't owe Xu Qingmo's family anything now, but it's different for you. You still owe Wang Shuncai, and who knows what that money was used for."

Zhang Cui deliberately left those words behind before turning and walking away.

Hong Lanlan had a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent it.

The onlookers all left, leaving Hong Lanlan alone, sulking.

Zhou Tianyu followed Zhang Cui home, feeling a little scared. He couldn't help but say, "Mom, if Hong Lanlan goes to school and talks nonsense, I'm not going to school anymore."

Zhang Cui glared at him. "Now you know how shameful you are. I told you not to go with Wang Xiaohu, but you insisted. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Now you've not only failed to gain anything, but you've also become infamous in the family compound."

Zhou Tianyu grumbled discontentedly, "When I packed food to take home before, you ate it too. Now that something's happened, why is it only my fault?"

"Do you think we're short of food? You little brat, have you gone too far? Now you dare to criticize me? I think you're asking for a beating."

Zhang Cui was still fuming, and Zhou Tianyu picked another fight, so she grabbed a broom from the side and started hitting his butt.

Zhou Tianyu hurriedly ran outside. Zhang Cui, not wanting to cause any more commotion, pointed at the person at the door and shouted, "You'd better stay outside. If you ever step into this house, I'll spank your ass."

Zhou Tianyu was a little scared and dared not go into the house.

Zhang Cui simply closed the door, out of sight, out of mind.

Zhou Tianyu didn't know where to go for a moment, and unknowingly arrived at Wang Xiaohu's door.

Wang Xiaohu was alone at home. Zhou Tianyu went over and opened the door, only to find Wang Xiaohu eating inside.

He hadn't eaten yet, but seeing Wang Xiaohu eating so heartily, he proactively approached him and asked, "Could I have a cornbread?"

"Get out of here, I don't even have enough to eat myself." Wang Xiaohu told him to leave with a look of disgust.

Zhou Tianyu had nowhere else to go, so he naturally wouldn't leave. He asked in a pleading voice, "Could I just have a bite? I haven't eaten breakfast yet."

Wang Xiaohu handed over the cornbread in his hand, saying, "You can only have one bite, just a small bite..."

Wang Xiaohu was stunned to see the steamed bun being bitten half off by the giant maw of the abyss. He then looked at Zhou Tianyu as if he were looking at an enemy.

Zhou Tianyu chewed contentedly, mumbling, "When you're hungry, everything tastes good. Can I have another bite?"

"Eat your head my foot!" Wang Xiaohu got angry, grabbing Zhou Tianyu's shoulders and shaking him repeatedly. "Spit out my cornbread! Who told you to take such a big bite?"

Zhou Tianyu swallowed the cornbread even faster. Because it was too dry and he was in such a hurry, he felt like he was choking. He picked up the bowl of porridge on the table and drank a few mouthfuls before finally getting the cornbread down his throat.

"I almost choked to death, luckily there was a bowl of porridge." Zhou Tianyu said contentedly.

Wang Xiaohu impulsively stood up and slapped Zhou Tianyu on the head several times.

Zhou Tianyu was in pain from the beating, so he immediately grabbed her and ran away.

The two chased each other and unknowingly arrived at Hong Lanlan's doorstep.

Wang Xiaohu growled angrily, "Zhou Tianyu, you thief! You stole food from Xu Qingmo's house, and now you're stealing my food. Were you born to be a thief?"

Hong Lanlan went out to get some water and happened to see this scene. She immediately stood still and listened to their argument.

Zhou Tianyu was quite embarrassed by the shout. He tried his best to explain, "It was all a misunderstanding. I didn't actually intend to eat that much. It was just that the cornbread you gave me was too dry, so I drank your porridge instead."

"Stop talking nonsense! Stealing is stealing. Why all the fuss? You have to return everything you stole from me today, or this isn't over!"

Wang Xiaohu had painstakingly packed all the food he ate at the cafeteria and brought it home, and he hadn't even had enough to eat. Why should Zhou Tianyu get a free meal?

Hong Lanlan understood immediately and started shouting, "Sure enough, like mother, like child! Zhou Tianyu has started stealing again!"
