After they sat down, Tang Li handed her a can of soda and said with a smile, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have just come to your house to find you."

He never expected that Su Yan would get so angry from jumping down the stairs.

Su Yan took a big gulp of soda and felt much better.

She said in despair, "You don't know the pain of only being able to use one leg."

These past few days have given her a taste of what it means to be useless.

Tang Li teased her for a while, then got down to business: "I've already found a school for your brother, Anping Elementary School. However, the school wants your brother to take an exam, and they'll see how he does before deciding which grade he should be in."

There are only two primary schools in Anping Town.

One of them is Anping Primary School.

The second one is Anping No. 2 Primary School.

The teachers at Anping Primary School are much better than those at No. 2 Primary School.

If someone with a rural household registration wants to get into Anping Primary School, they need connections and money.

Su Yan thought for a moment, then hesitated: "When my brother lived with my dad, he only attended first grade for one semester. If he didn't do well on the exams, would the school refuse to admit him?"

"No, you don't need to worry," Tang Li said with a smile. "Every student who joins midway through the semester must pass the school's exam; that's a requirement of Anping Elementary School."

"That's fine then."

Su Yan was just worried that if he failed the exam, it would hurt Su Lei's self-esteem.

If he has the opportunity to study but doesn't work hard, then so be it.

The key issue is that when he was with the Su family, he wanted to study but couldn't, and although he wanted to work hard, there was no school for him to do so.

"Then tomorrow, you take your brother directly to Anping Elementary School to see Director Yu Dafei. I've already spoken to him."

Yu Dafei? Yu Dahai?

Su Yan asked, "Yu Dafei is the director of Anping Elementary School, and Yu Dahai is the deputy director of the food factory. What is their relationship?"

Tang Li was a little surprised when he heard this. "They are brothers. You know Yu Dahai?"

“He comes to my stall every day to buy braised food; he’s become a loyal SVIP fan.”

Su Yan also admired Da Hai to some extent.

He was almost always the first one to line up at the stall every day, so his mother would always give him something else.

Tang Li didn't know what an SVIP loyal fan was, but he could tell that Yu Dahai really loved Su Yan's braised food.

"Speaking of this stall, I've also sorted out the shop situation. I found three in total, all at similar prices, just in different locations, each with its own advantages. When are you planning to go and take a look?"

Of course, he always instructed people to go find them; he didn't go himself.

Su Yan thought for a moment, "I'll take my brother to Anping Elementary School tomorrow morning, and then I'll go with you to look at the shop in the afternoon."

"OK."

Then, remembering something, Tang Li stood up and said, "Oh, right, Jiang Jingxing sent some things over, and he asked me to give them to you."

As he spoke, he took a military green package from the bookshelf behind him and handed it to Su Yan.

"I arrived yesterday. I heard from Bai Lian that you were looking for me yesterday, so I waited for you all day today, but you only came so late."

Su Yan took the package, and upon hearing his words, she couldn't help but glance at the dark circles under his eyes. She scoffed, "Don't act like you've sacrificed so much. Did you have a fight with your wife and are you trying to find some peace and quiet in this office?"

Tang Li: "..." He was truly impressed!

He was extremely puzzled, "How do you know everything at such a young age? Nothing escapes your eyes."

Su Yan shrugged. "There's nothing I can do. You're a married man, and you've become a manager. What could possibly keep you here? I could have guessed it."

After saying that, she asked again, "You and your wife don't argue about women, do you?"

Could it be because of... her?

Tang Li sighed, his tone somber: "Pretty much. She's not in good health and has difficulty conceiving. Lately, I don't know what's wrong with her, she's always suspicious, suspecting that I'm having an affair and that I have an illegitimate child. Recently, every time I go back home, she goes through my clothes and smells my body."

Once or twice is fine, but the problem is that it happens every day. Even someone with a good temper like him can't stand it.

Su Yan: Holy crap!

She considered it for a moment.

Ultimately, she chose the former—whether to be blunt with Tang Li or to subtly remind him.

"Uncle Tang, I think your wife has misunderstood our relationship. She's being paranoid, probably because she saw us chatting in front of the housing management bureau last time. Besides, don't you have a sister-in-law? I think she's involved in your wife's behavior."

Tang Li: "..."

His brain was a little slow to process what he was going through.

After a long pause, he asked uncertainly, "Are you telling the truth?"

Su Yan blinked innocently and said, "Really? Why don't you go back and ask?"

She didn't want to one day have Tang Li's wife and a group of her girlfriends come knocking on her door, tearing her apart and calling her a mistress!

Such memorable scenes are best viewed online, but for her to experience them firsthand... wow!!!

After struggling for a long time, Tang Li decided to go back.

So, Su Yan was kicked out of the office with her belongings and left to wander the streets.

She pouted and went home, leaning on her cane.

After arriving home, she immediately took a shower before unpacking the package in the living room.

Li Juan leaned closer, a little curious. "Ayan, when did you buy anything?"

"Jiang Jingxing sent it," Su Yan said as she unpacked it. "Tang Li told me about it when I went to Baicaotang."

"What? Why is Comrade Jiang sending you things?" Li Juan thought for a moment and then said, "No, how can you accept things from Comrade Jiang? He saved us last time, and we haven't properly thanked him yet."

Before Su Yan could speak, she heard her mother grumble, "That's not right, Comrade Jiang just left yesterday, how come the things he sent arrived so quickly?"

“Mother, Jiang Jingxing should have had someone send it from Beijing several days ago.”

Su Yan had already opened the package while she was speaking.

A neatly stacked pile of clothes immediately came into view.

She flipped through it and found it filled with the most fashionable dresses and clothes in Beijing at the moment.

There are ten sets in total.

Five of the dresses belonged to her.

The remaining five sets are for Li Juan, Su Lei, Hu Zi, and the maternal grandparents, one set each.

Su Yan was completely stunned.

Before she knew that Jiang Jingxing and her older brother were good friends, she didn't seem to know Jiang Jingxing very well, right? And they still don't know each other very well now.

Could it be because of her older brother that he had so many clothes bought and sent over?

"Oh my god! Did Comrade Jiang send the wrong package? Why are there so many clothes?" Li Juan exclaimed.

These materials are so soft; they're clearly from big cities.

She used to work in a tailor shop, so she could tell where the fabric came from.

"It wasn't sent to the wrong address."

After thinking for a moment, Su Yan explained the relationship between Jiang Jingxing and her elder brother.
