In her previous life, Jiang Haitang was an absolute fool. After becoming a widow at barely 16, she never remarried, serving as a blood bag for her in-laws, raising her brother-in-law, taking care o...
Chapter 47 The stakes must be equal
Kang Xiaoxia sneered and said, "Liang Ruya, why are you being so sarcastic? Comrade Jiang Haitang is our factory's firefighting hero and an advanced model. What makes you think you can compare with her? Just because you have a father who is an official?"
"Kang Xiaoxia, why are you so arrogant and trying to help others? Take care of yourself first."
"Liang Ruya, we all grew up in the same compound, so who doesn't know each other's weight? Let alone the fifteenth day."
Before the exam, Haitang said it was not worth it and it ruined her mood, but she endured it.
But now that the exam is over, she has no concerns.
Jiang Haitang looked at Liang Ruya carefully. She found that she looked a bit like Liang Suya, and she couldn't tell who was the older sister.
The Liang family is really ridiculous. They are all determined to fight to the death with me, right?
Jiang Haitang pulled Kang Xiaoxia aside and said, "Let's go back. The results won't be out until this afternoon. There's no need to waste time here with irrelevant people."
"Stop right there."
Jiang Haitang and Kang Xiaoxia stopped moving and looked at Liang Ruya.
"If you have to fart, do it quickly!" Kang Xiaoxia said unhappily.
"Kang Xiaoxia, you're not as good as me. Your family conditions aren't as good as mine, your work isn't as good as mine, and you can't even make friends as well as me. You can only play with this shameless bastard who steals men."
Liang Ruya is very confident. She has been reviewing for more than a month and did well on today's test paper. She is sure to do well in the exam.
Kang Xiaoxia was so angry that she laughed.
"Liang Ruya, your mouth is only good for farting."
Kang Xiaoxia cursed while rolling up her sleeves to fight.
Jiang Haitang stopped Kang Xiaoxia and stared at Liang Ruya: "Didn't Liang Suya tell you that she was the concubine you married later?"
It's really boring to say this over and over again, but sometimes, the tricks don't have to be old-fashioned, but effective.
"You!" Liang Ruya pointed at Jiang Haitang and said with gritted teeth: "My sister was married in a formal ceremony."
She didn't want to stand up for Liang Suya, but she had been laughed at because of this matter these days, especially after Jiang Haitang was in the newspapers and on TV, their family was laughed at by many people.
Jiang Haitang gently pressed her finger down: "Don't point at others like that. If your hand gets chopped off, you won't have anywhere to complain."
"You dare!"
For some reason, she suddenly became timid when she saw Jiang Haitang's calm gaze.
"You'll know if you try it." Jiang Haitang remained calm.
"Jiang Haitang, let's make a bet. If I do better than you in the exam, you will leave the textile factory." Liang Ruya said gritting her teeth.
The best way to solve their family’s predicament is to let Jiang Haitang leave the textile factory.
"What if I do better than you in the exam?" Jiang Haitang's tone was very calm.
Liang Ruya was in a dilemma.
"You can't possibly do better than me!"
"What if?"
"Liang Ruya, with your two brushes, you are definitely not as good as Haitang. How dare you say you won't lose?"
"If you are really sure that you will not lose, why don't you dare to put out the bet? Anyway, as long as you win, it will still be yours." Kang Xiaoxia started to provoke.
Liang Ruya is confident in herself.
How capable can someone who graduated from a rural literacy class be?
Many people who had just finished their exams were watching.
During this period, the relationship between Jiang Haitang, Liang Suya and Li Shengli has become the most discussed topic.
"Ruya, if you believe you can win, just bet. What are you afraid of?"
Someone next to him whispered.
"Let's bet, Jiang Haitang. If I lose, I'll give you fifty dollars." Liang Ruya said gritting her teeth.
Jiang Haitang chuckled: "Fifty yuan? Am I stupid or are you stupid?"
"If you don't dare to gamble, forget it. Let's go." Kang Xiaoxia pulled Jiang Haitang and turned to leave.
"Eighty. If my test scores aren't as good as yours, I'll give you eighty."
"Liang Ruya, the stakes in a bet must be equal. This is the basic principle. If I lose and leave the textile factory, you only have to pay 80 yuan. This is unreasonable."
Liang Ruya wanted to bet more, but she only had 80 yuan and couldn't afford more.
"Then let's make a bet. If you lose, you have to admit in public that my sister is the original wife."
"Liang Ruya, if your test scores are better than mine, I'll give you 100 yuan and admit that your sister is the original wife. If my test scores are better than yours, you give me 100 yuan, apologize to me on the radio, and admit that you slandered me."
Liang Ruya didn't notice that Jiang Haitang quietly raised the bet by twenty more.
She only heard the word "apology".
Liang Ruya felt that the stakes were a bit high: "It doesn't need to be broadcast, right?"
"If it's not on the radio, how can anyone hear me say your sister is the original wife? I'm telling it to myself. Is that fun?"
Jiang Haitang gave Liang Ruya a look that said "you're stupid".
"Ruya, how did you do in the exam?" a female comrade who had a good relationship with Liang Ruya asked quietly.
"Of course I did very well in the exam." Liang Ruya answered confidently.
"Then what are you afraid of?"
"Okay! I bet."
"See you this afternoon."
Jiang Haitang said this and turned to leave.
Liang Ruya looked at Jiang Haitang who left like that and suddenly felt a little regretful.
Some people around were privately discussing that this bet was a bit too big.
One hundred yuan, an ordinary factory worker can’t earn that much even if he doesn’t eat or drink for three months.
Jiang Haitang's monthly salary was less than twenty yuan, and he had worked for half a year in vain.
Yes, everyone thought that Jiang Haitang would definitely not be able to pass the exam as well as Liang Ruya.
Liang Ruya's parents both worked in a textile factory and were high school graduates. They were not on the same level as Jiang Haitang, who had only attended literacy classes.
In just one afternoon, the news of the bet between Jiang Haitang and Liang Ruya spread throughout the factory.
Liang Suya was also very excited when she heard the news.
She went to find Liang Ruya, but Liang Ruya didn't give her a good look.
"If you weren't such a loser that you got me into trouble, why would I do this?"
Their fathers are brothers, but Liang Ruya has always looked down on Liang Suya.
"Ruya, this isn't my fault. It's all Jiang Haitang's fault. She went too far and actually made such a small matter appear in the newspaper."
"You don't have to provoke me. If it weren't for our family, I wouldn't stand up for you. Liang Suya, don't treat others as fools."
After Liang Ruya finished speaking, she turned around and left. Humph, she smells so bad, it's disgusting just to look at her.
Liang Suya looked at Liang Ruya's back and clenched her fists.
We all have the same blood, why does Liang Ruya treat me like this?
One day, she will get everything that belongs to Liang Ruya!
Want to step on Liang Ruya under your feet!
In a blink of an eye, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
This is the time for announcing the results as notified by the factory office.
Han Zhiqiu from the factory office came out of the office on time with a piece of paper. In front of everyone, she posted the report card at the door of the factory office building.
Because there was a bet on today's exam, many people who had nothing to do with the exam came to join in the fun.
At this time, there were about a hundred people gathered at the door of the factory office building, all discussing who would win between the two.
