Chapter 152 The Sorrow of Being a Mother (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Zhang Cui sneered, "When you and Song Wei were targeting me before, didn't you think about the future? Now that you can't beat me, you're resorting to emotional appeals?"

Liu Guiying's arrogance had diminished considerably. "Why should we make a fool of ourselves here for others to see?"

“I’m interrupting your thoughts. It’s not us making a fool of ourselves for others to see; it’s you making a fool of yourself for others to see.” Zhang Cui didn’t want to get involved with Liu Guiying.

Liu Guiying snorted, "Nonsense, I'm not going to lower myself to your level."

She turned and left, but Zhang Cui, having failed to achieve her goal, followed her. The two argued and bickered all the way.

Xu Qingmo pretended not to see it, but someone approached her and mentioned Zhang Cui and Liu Guiying.

Xu Qingmo shrugged, unmoved. "Their business has nothing to do with me. Don't drag me into it."

"If Zhang Cui comes looking for trouble again, what are you going to do?"

Xu Qingmo scoffed, "If she dares to come, I'll be ready to fight her to the bitter end."

Xu Qingmo wasn't afraid of these two people at all. In her eyes, their quarrel was nothing more than a minor squabble.

She looked down on it.

"Xu Qingmo, can you help my mother?" Zhou Tianyu suddenly appeared behind the crowd. The others heard his voice and made way for him.

Xu Qingmo was puzzled, "Why should I help your mother? We don't seem to know each other well."

“I know you have a prejudice against my family because of what happened to me, but my mom only got into a fight with Song Wei’s mom because of me. I just want you to help me out. Are you unwilling?”

“That’s right, I don’t want to.” Xu Qingmo refused without even thinking.

"Why wouldn't I want to? My mom is actually a very nice person."

"What does it matter to me if your mother is good? If you really think your mother has been hurt, then stand up for her. There's no need to put on a show of maternal love and filial piety in front of me. I don't buy that."

Zhou Tianyu stared intently at Xu Qingmo for a long while before leaving.

Xu Qingmo felt confused; recently, many people felt that she needed to get involved in some matters.

But she knew very well that some people or things were simply not worth her getting involved in.

"This Zhou Tianyu is really baffling. Zhang Cui and Liu Guiying were fighting so badly, and instead of helping them, he came to Xu Qingmo for help. He really isn't willing to do anything for Zhang Cui, and Zhang Cui is even standing up for him outside. Is it really worth it?"

“Zhou Tianyu only dared to shout behind people’s backs; Zhang Cui was the gun in his hand.”

"They're not old, but they're quite cunning. Having a child like that is a real headache."

"It's a pity that Zhang Cui still hasn't figured out what kind of person Zhou Tianyu is."

"This is the tragedy of being a mother; no matter how badly her child is wrong, she will still protect them."

"Don't generalize. There are still many reasonable people out there."

The noise outside was unbearable for Xu Qingmo, so she went inside, closed the door, and started roasting sweet potatoes by the fire.

He heated up some tea for himself and ate and drank tea at the same time, living a very good life.

Starting today, Zhang Yan will be going out on a mission, so she no longer needs to be there for her studies on time.

When it comes to studying, she simply moved to another spot to warm herself by the fire, while Zhang Yan practiced horse stance next to her.

She had noticed Zhang Yan's progress recently, but she didn't praise her, afraid that the other party would become complacent.

Lu Ting returned from outside and heard some rumors.

Braving the cold wind, he recounted what he had heard to Xu Qingmo.

Xu Qingmo only heard what she had heard before and wasn't interested in it.

"Zhang Cui and Liu Guiying have become mortal enemies, and Song Wei and Zhou Tianyu have also started fighting."

Xu Qingmo knew what had happened before, but what happened afterward was a completely new experience.

Xu Qingmo happened to be free and asked curiously, "Who won between Song Wei and Zhou Tianyu?"

"Song Wei won, but Zhou Tianyu was not satisfied and asked for another fight. The second fight ended in a draw, and Zhou Tianyu still asked to continue. Song Wei refused, saying that they would settle the score in three days."

Xu Qingmo chuckled, "These two are really interesting, acting like martial arts masters are challenging each other to a duel."

"Speaking of which, I had the same feeling. These two usually get along quite well, I didn't expect them to fight each other this time." Lu Ting found it strange.

When Wang Xiaohu was still alive, the three of them were so close that they were inseparable.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaohu passed away not long ago, and Zhou Tianyu and Song Wei also had a falling out.

Xu Qingmo had already seen through it all, and said calmly, "When Wang Xiaohu was still around, he could control Zhou Tianyu and Song Wei. Now that the person who controlled them is gone, it was only a matter of time before the two of them started to dislike each other. I just didn't expect it to escalate so quickly."

"That's true. These two are the same kind of people as Wang Xiaohu, only they are not as powerful as Wang Xiaohu. They were under his control before, but now that Wang Xiaohu is gone, they can no longer hide their evil."

Xu Qingmo handed Lu Ting a roasted sweet potato, "Have one, I have quite a lot here."

"I've noticed you really like roasted sweet potatoes. Aren't you afraid of farting if you eat too many?" Lu Ting said, already reaching out to catch one.

He sat down next to Xu Qingmo and started eating sweet potatoes.

Xu Qingmo ignored it all, saying, "Farting is a normal human behavior."

The next second, a fart sounded.

In the following days, Zhang Cui and Liu Guiying would fight every time they met, while Song Wei and Zhou Tianyu would not give in to each other.

However, Song Wei and Zhou Tianyu made up after only a few days of fighting. The two left the school chatting and laughing, and on the way back, they talked about the current situation of their respective families.

Zhou Tianyu said, "Actually, the reason why our two families have ended up like this is all Xu Qingmo's fault. If she hadn't kept saying that we were stealing her family's food, we wouldn't have become a laughing stock in the family compound."

Song Wei nodded. "That's how it is, but we're no match for Xu Qingmo."

"We need to find a way to make Xu Qingmo suffer a little loss too." Zhou Tianyu stroked his chin, thinking seriously.

Song Wei hesitated, "Xu Qingmo is quite formidable. Even adults might not be able to gain the upper hand against her. Can we handle it?"

"You've already backed down before it even started. Are you sure you want to join in the revenge against Xu Qingmo?"

"Of course I want to go home. My mom and your mom are always arguing, and it's not good for me when I go home. I've had enough of this kind of life." Song Wei's head was spinning just thinking about everything he would have to face when he got home.

The two quickly arrived at the entrance of the residential compound, glared at each other, and then went their separate ways, entering the compound one after the other.

Zhang Cui won the argument again today and was humming a little tune in a good mood, but there were a few more wounds on her face than yesterday.

She seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't care about these things at all.

Zhou Tianyu sighed, and Zhang Cui, noticing this, turned around and asked, "Did you have a fight with Song Wei at school today?"

"No, I just feel that if you and Song Wei's mother continue like this, it will cause dissatisfaction among others sooner or later."
