Chapter 69 Calculation

She asked why the book felt so thick, and it turned out that there were quite a few Great Unity bills (ten-yuan notes) stuffed inside!

Lin Siqiao took them out one by one and counted them. There were actually more than four hundred yuan. In addition to these, there were also some military bills.

"No, why did he give me so much money?"

Four hundred yuan is not a small amount of money, and Lin Siqiao was a little confused.

She had heard from Yun Shu before that Brother Lu had been stuck in the position of deputy group leader because of his age.

Don't underestimate the deputy regiment commander. In this era when one person serving in the army brings honor to the whole family, soldiers not only have a very high social status, but also have very considerable income.

A cadre of Brother Lu's level earns at least a hundred yuan a month!

By the 1980s, the administrative salary table of military personnel was not a reason for him to give himself money.

When Lin Siqiao was wondering, he accidentally saw a line of regular script on the title page of the book.

It is said that one can tell a lot about a person by his handwriting. I didn’t expect that Brother Lu’s handwriting is so good.

Lin Siqiao took a look and roughly meant that part of the money was for his hospital expenses, and the rest was considered an apology to her.

“…”

It was the first time that Lin Siqiao heard that one could get money for beating someone up. This was too unbelievable!

Lin Siqiao understood the meaning of the first half, but he could not understand the second half at all.

Did she say or do something that caused misunderstanding? Why does Brother Lu feel that her current life is so hard?

Obviously she is extremely rich now!

Forget it, she couldn't show off this kind of thing.

Lin Siqiao put all the bills back into the book. She didn't intend to keep the money.

In Lin Siqiao's opinion, there are only two types of men whose money she can spend without any psychological burden.

One is related to you by blood.

Don’t even mention the question of whether she’s a parasite or not. If her father doesn’t let her spend the assets he saved, does he give them to his mistresses outside?

funny!

The other is her significant other, but Lin Siqiao doesn't accept any system of living within marriage.

Since both of them have decided to build a family together, they naturally cannot divide the money into yours and mine. She doesn't lack that little money, but this is a matter of principle.

Brother Lu has nothing to do with either of them, so Lin Siqiao can't spend the money with peace of mind, not to mention that she is not short of money now.

The next day, Lin Siqiao brought the book to school. When Lu Yunshu heard Siqiao asking him to take the book back, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.

No, no, no, she won't do that.

The thing Lu Yunshu feared most since childhood was receiving gifts from his eldest brother. They were either books or books! There's nothing new about it.

Just give her the book if you want to, but the key is that her brother always asks her what she has read and whether she has any experience!

No teacher in school is as worrying as he is.

Lu Yunshu was afraid that she would take the book back. What if her elder brother gave it to her instead?

Lu Yunshu was unwilling, and Lin Siqiao had no way to force her, so she could only stuff the book back into her bag.

She still has to go to the Lu family on the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she can only find an opportunity to return it to Brother Lu in person then.

There were not many classes this morning, and school was over before 11 o'clock. Lin Siqiao had to go to the department store to buy some things today, and Lu Yunshu said yesterday that he would accompany her.

So as soon as the bell rang, the two packed up their things and left the classroom.

"What on earth is Lin Siqiao up to?"

"She disappears every day when get out of class is over, and I don't see her going to the rehearsal room to practice."

"Isn't she worried at all?"

Jiang Yingnan has been very close to Zheng Yalan recently and pays special attention to Lin Siqiao's every move.

"How should I know?"

A hint of annoyance flashed across Zheng Yalan's eyes. Before this, she had never taken Lin Siqiao seriously.

She came from a small place. Even if she had learned bamboo flute and dance, so what? The teachers who taught her were probably not even half as good as her.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yalan accidentally heard Lu Yunshu calling her "Junior Sister" yesterday.

He also said that he would accompany her to the master's house to practice in the evening.

Zheng Yalan knew who Lu Yunshu's master was better than anyone else, and it was because she knew it that she couldn't help feeling anxious.

Zheng Yalan knew very well that her master was always picky when it came to accepting disciples, and it took her several years to catch the master's eye.

But what right does Lin Siqiao have?

Zheng Yalan doesn't think Lin Siqiao has that ability. She thinks the most likely culprit is the Lu family.

Think about this period of time, Lin Siqiao has been pestering Lu Yunshu, and the two are inseparable wherever they go.

It is very likely that Lu Yunshu will speak for her in front of her master.

What's more, Lu Yunshu has the Lu family behind him, so the master naturally has to give him some face.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yalan's face became even uglier. After packing up her things, she went straight to the training room.

"Hey, don't go. I have something to tell you." Jiang Yingnan packed her schoolbag and chased after him.

"What is it? Tell me."

Zheng Yalan said this, but she didn't stop at all.

It’s true that she doesn’t like Lin Siqiao, but she also doesn’t like Jiang Yingnan.

Not only does she have no knowledge at all, but she can't even get anything done!

It's been several days, and I still can't even find out the song list that Lin Siqiao is going to perform. What a waste!

Zheng Yalan had a dark face, and Jiang Yingnan's expression was not looking good either.

Even though Lu Yunshu gave her the cold shoulder, she had to accept it because the Lu family had a good background.

But who are you, Zheng Yalan?

Don't forget, their fathers are all of the same level. What qualifications does she have to put on airs in front of her?

"Zheng Yalan, I helped you out of good intentions. It's fine if you don't thank me, but why are you being so rude?"

"If you don't want to listen, I won't bother to say it."

"Don't blame me for not telling you in advance if you miss any news."

Jiang Yingnan was about to leave after she finished speaking, but Zheng Yalan immediately reached out and held her back, with her attitude changing 180 degrees.

"Yingnan, I didn't mean that."

"I'm like this when I'm not smiling. I'm not being mean to you. You misunderstood me."

"The main thing is that I'm going to be on stage tomorrow, and I want to take advantage of the time to rehearse more."

Regardless of whether this was true or not, at least it sounded like something human, and Jiang Yingnan felt a little better.

"You have to hurry up and rehearse more, because tomorrow in addition to the leaders of our school, people from the General Political Department Art Troupe will also be here."

"They came to the school this time to select some people to rehearse the performance for the National Day!"

"Is this news true?" How come Zheng Yalan didn't receive any news in advance?

Jiang Yingnan rolled his eyes at her and said smugly, "If it's not true, am I just telling you this for no reason?"

"Look at you, that's what I said."

Zheng Yalan's smile became noticeably more enthusiastic, and she took Jiang Yingnan's arm and started to ask questions.

Now that Jiang Yingnan has said it, there is nothing to hide.

It was probably because she didn't learn any talents when she was a child, otherwise she would never miss such a good opportunity. Now it falls to Zheng Yalan.

After listening to what Jiang Yingnan said, Zheng Yalan fell into deep thought.

If people from the General Political Department Art Troupe were to come, this would be a really rare opportunity!

She must show off her best skills and let everyone see who is the best among this class of freshmen!

"It's not enough for you to just work hard."

“You have to be prepared for both scenarios.”

Jiang Yingnan raised his thin eyebrows, leaned close to her ear, and shrugged his shoulders after speaking.

"Don't worry, I will help you."

"Why, why are you helping me?"

This matter could be a big deal or a small one. Zheng Yalan couldn't understand why Jiang Yingnan wanted to get involved in this mess. She didn't think their relationship was that good.

"Why? I'm just not happy with her."

Jiang Yingnan sneered a few times, "We are in the same circle after all. How can she, a girl from the countryside, show off her wealth in front of us?"

This is absolutely true, Zheng Yalan thinks so too.

"I owe you a favor for this. Let me know if you need my help in the future."

"Of course, I won't be polite."
