Chapter 58: Can it really make my son stand out?

When Mrs. Li kicked the basin, the water in the laundry basin splashed and landed on Huang Yiyi's face.

Huang Yiyi kept her head down, holding the clothes to be washed tightly in her hands. She had been living in such humiliation for several years, and she had also been listening to Mrs. Li's crazy words for several years. Did she really have to continue like this?

Is she going to give up the opportunity that Comrade Lian Jiang fought for her?

She wanted to... follow her heart and make a decision.

"I won't refuse." Huang Yiyi said softly from her lips.

Mrs. Li had sharp ears. She clearly heard what Huang Yiyi said, but she pretended not to hear it and started shouting again.

"What did you say? What did you say, you little girl? Say it again if you dare! You've become bolder after just one trip out. Did someone outside give you some bad advice? Was it the one who quarreled with Zhong Cuiping yesterday?"

"I've disliked that girl for a long time. She has a bad background and looks like a fox. She's only been in our compound for a few days, and she's already quarreling with others. She's not quiet at all!"

"Bah! That girl is obviously not a good person. Huang Yiyi, you should avoid associating with her in the future."

Huang Yiyi listened to Mrs. Li cursing about this and that, and she even cursed Jiang Tang.

When Huang Yiyi thought of how good Jiang Tang was to her, she gripped her clothes tighter and tighter.

Finally, she threw the clothes in her hand heavily into the basin, and water splashed up. This time, it not only splashed Huang Yiyi, but also splashed Li Pozi who was standing beside her.

Mrs. Li jumped up and down on the spot, yelling "ouch!"

Huang Yiyi stood up and looked at Mrs. Li. She changed her gentle and submissive look and spoke to Mrs. Li with a firm look in her eyes.

"I will not withdraw from the election exam. I will definitely take part in it."

"You're rebelling... you're totally rebellious... Haven't you given up yet? Are you still thinking about studying? Don't think I don't know, you're just looking for an excuse not to have a baby! You want to escape from our home! I'm telling you, no way! Since you're married to my son, you're a member of our Li family in life and a ghost of our Li family in death! My son spent so much money to marry you! You must stay home and have the baby!"

To put it bluntly, Mrs. Li treated marriage as a business and thought that once Huang Yiyi had freedom, she would become restless and would not have children.

Mrs. Li has heard that those female college students, as long as they start studying, are not willing to have children until they are 25 or 26.

So she was always on guard against Huang Yiyi.

Mrs. Li grabbed Huang Yiyi's arm and dragged her out. "Go! Go! Follow me now! Go and explain clearly why you won't be taking this exam! You're not allowed to take it!"

Huang Yiyi's arm was pinched by Mrs. Li and she frowned tightly, took a deep breath and said.

"Okay! Go talk to Chief He."

"What? Commander He?"

"Yes, it's Chief He! It was Chief He who asked me to take the election exam that day. Now that I can't participate, I have to tell Chief He." Huang Yiyi imitated Jiang Tang's words and stood up to Mrs. Li for the first time. "You don't want me to withdraw. Go and talk to Chief He. As long as Chief He agrees, I will withdraw."

Chief He...that's Chief He...

Mrs. Li was stunned on the spot. She was only arrogant at home, so if she were asked to meet Chief He, her legs would definitely tremble.

It was quiet for a few seconds.

Mrs. Li suddenly thought of something and turned to Huang Yiyi and asked, "You silly girl, are you deliberately bringing up Chief He to scare me?"

Huang Yiyi was shocked. Could it be that she was seen through?

At this time, Zhao Xiumei's voice came from outside their yard.

"What good is there in scaring an old woman like you? Haha, Mrs. Li, I advise you to be more obedient. If Huang Yiyi can't take the exam that day, Chief He will definitely investigate."

"That's right! Commander He made it clear yesterday. He specifically requested that Xiao Jiang from our compound and your wife Huang Yiyi take the exam. Neither of them can be missing."

"If I could take the exam, I'd be so excited that I'd be beating drums and gongs all over the compound to publicize it! Mrs. Li, this is a matter of honor for your son. It's about getting your son to show up in front of Chief He. Don't you know the difference between the importance of this?"

There was not only Zhao Xiumei outside the house. Zhao Xiumei brought several sisters-in-law from the compound with her. They had always known that there was a discord between Mrs. Li and Huang Yiyi, and they had heard a lot of their daily quarrels. They were finally able to help Huang Yiyi and annoy Mrs. Li, so they spoke more indignantly than the other.

When Mrs. Li heard the words "it can save face for her son", her eyes rolled around and she asked Zhao Xiumei.

"Can it really make my son stand out?"

"Of course it's true. Your son never had the chance to meet Chief He, right? Did Huang Yiyi meet him all of a sudden?" Zhao Xiumei said quickly.

When Mrs. Li heard this, she realized it was true. Her son had a low military rank and had never been qualified to meet Commander He, but Huang Yiyi showed up in front of Commander He yesterday.

Such a good thing was actually taken by Huang Yiyi.

After some calculations, Mrs. Li said to Huang Yiyi, "Exams are exams, but you still have to take care of the housework. Don't leave anything behind!"

After saying that, Mrs. Li turned around and went back to the house to eat melon seeds, waiting for Huang Yiyi to finish washing clothes and cook and sweep the floor for her.

One sister-in-law was furious at Mrs. Li's behavior and said angrily, "I've disliked Mrs. Li for a long time. She used to bully her daughter-in-law, but now Huang Yiyi is about to take the exam, and she actually wants her to work!"

Finally, Huang Yiyi said, "Sister-in-law, it's okay. As long as I can take the exam, I can do any job."

She quickly thanked her sisters-in-law, "Sisters-in-law, thank you for speaking up for me."

"Why thank you? We're all from the same compound, so it was just a word." Zhao Xiumei smiled and said, "And you don't need to thank us. It was Xiao Jiang who asked me to come and take a look. She was worried something might have happened to your family, so she just happened to be passing by."

Huang Yiyi was shocked. It was Jiang Tang who helped her again.

…

Before I knew it, three more days had passed.

Jiang Tang has been in the staff housing compound for some time. She is familiar with the city, the commune, and the school. She has also completed the admission procedures for Chaochao and Yueyue. After the school signs, Chaochao and Yueyue will be able to go to school.

As for the house, it is warm and clean inside and out, and the small courtyard is also well-organized and gradually becoming lush and green.

The only thing I’m not used to is probably not having a mobile phone to play with. The days are peaceful and warm, but a little boring.

That day, Fu Sinian came back late from training. After entering the house, he saw Jiang Tang reading a book filled with dense text.

He asked aloud, "Tangtang, are you preparing for the election exam next week?"
