Shen Heng, the village bully of Shili Village, has a fierce and intimidating persona.
To everyone's surprise, his newly wedded little wife is not afraid of him at all. In fact, she keeps ...
Ever since Yang Fenglin warned Zhang Mai, Zhang Mai has been avoiding Bai Jiaojiao.
Bai Jiaojiao was happy to have some peace and quiet, but Zhang Mai couldn't swallow his anger.
Although Zhang Mai is not very brave, she is proud and jealous of Bai Jiaojiao, feeling that the world is unfair.
"Chen Meizhen, I really envy you. Even though you were expelled from school, your family still managed to arrange such a good job for you."
Zhang Mai found Chen Meizhen, who was now in the school's logistics department. Her job was easy, and Chen Bingrui had even arranged a permanent position for her, which was considered a secure job.
Chen Meizhen was already embarrassed by being expelled from school, and when she saw her old roommate, her attitude wasn't very friendly: "What are you doing here? How did you know I was here?"
"How big is Yanda University? We see each other all the time, how come I didn't know you were here?"
Zhang Mai's attitude towards Chen Meizhen in the dormitory was not like this before. Chen Meizhen felt that Zhang Mai was looking down on her because of her expulsion from school, and said angrily: "I still have a job. If you have nothing else to do, then hurry up and leave! I work in logistics now. Call me logistics teacher when you see me in the future!"
“Don’t worry,” Zhang Mai said. “Don’t you want to know why Bai Jiaojiao, who has ruined you like this, has let you end up like this? Don’t you want to know why Professor Xiang from the Foreign Languages Department and Dean Ji from our department are so on her side?”
Zhang Mai knew that Chen Meizhen had always been jealous of Bai Jiaojiao. Since she didn't dare to retaliate against Bai Jiaojiao herself, she wanted Chen Meizhen to cause trouble.
Chen Meizhen fell for the trap as expected, her delicate eyebrows furrowing: "Why?"
Zhang Mai immediately said, "Of course it's because she has a powerful background. Bai Jiaojiao is really something, we're all roommates, yet she still keeps quiet about it."
"Who is she?"
Seeing that Zhang Mai was still keeping her in suspense, Chen Meizhen couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Mai remained silent, knowing that Chen Meizhen was very jealous, especially of Bai Jiaojiao.
To be honest, Chen Meizhen was inferior to Bai Jiaojiao in every way, but she had a successful father. Bai Jiaojiao always said that she came from a rural background, and that alone was enough for Chen Meizhen to feel that Bai Jiaojiao was not as good as herself.
"Anyway, Teacher Chen is no match for her family."
As Zhang Mai said this, Chen Meizhen's expression changed repeatedly, and her pen tip unconsciously tore through several pages.
"Impossible! She's just a poor, down-on-her-luck girl from some remote village. What kind of background could she possibly have? Have you been fooled by her? If her family really had connections, wouldn't they have told you already?"
Chen Meizhen would not allow Bai Jiaojiao to surpass her again, especially given her family background, which she was most proud of.
"If you don't believe me, just ask her yourself."
Zhang Maidao.
Although Chen Meizhen has been expelled from school, she still managed to get a job in logistics through Chen Bingrui's connections. She thought it was a secure job, and she didn't have to work hard from dawn till dusk to get such a good job. She comforted herself that it was good this way, and she didn't care to compete with those poor folks.
She hadn't seen Bai Jiaojiao for the past few days and felt that out of sight, out of mind, but the news Zhang Mai told her undoubtedly shattered all the barriers she had built around herself with just a gentle touch.
What makes Bai Jiaojiao so special?
Chen Meizhen couldn't help but think that when she used to show off in the dormitory, wouldn't she look like a clown in Bai Jiaojiao's eyes?
Bai Jiaojiao deliberately kept it a secret just to see her make a fool of herself, didn't she?
The more Chen Meizhen thought about it, the more convinced she was that Bai Jiaojiao was behind her expulsion from school.
He's clearly someone who relies on connections, so why is he pretending to be hardworking and diligent in front of others?!
Seeing Chen Meizhen's expression, Zhang Mai knew she couldn't sit still.
"Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go back to class. Honestly, if I had known her family was so rich and powerful, I should have tried to get closer to her sooner. Now Shu Manling and Xu Yue are really lucky. I bet after graduation, they can rely on Bai Jiaojiao to find them the best jobs!"
The more Zhang Mai said that, the more Chen Meizhen felt that Bai Jiaojiao was hateful.
Before she knew it, Chen Meizhen had torn the paper in her hand to shreds.
The news that Bai Jiaojiao was Yang Fu's granddaughter spread like wildfire. She was already famous at Yenching University, and after the last academic exchange, she became known to everyone and was secretly elected as the campus beauty by the students. Now that her background has been revealed, she has once again become the topic of everyone's conversation.
Xiang Anqi said that he had found a treasure and was more fortunate than the Yang family.
However, Ji Guizhang's reaction to this matter was rather indifferent. Instead, he advised Bai Jiaojiao not to be swayed by the rumors and to focus her attention on her academic work.
Bai Jiaojiao naturally agreed. She wasn't as open-minded as Yang Fenglin. Being Yang Fu's granddaughter meant she had to be even more careful with her words and actions than before. She couldn't let her old general down.
Now that a telephone has been installed at home, it's much easier for people in Shili Village to contact Bai Jiaojiao.
Around 7 p.m. that evening, Bai Jiaojiao and Shen Heng had just returned home when the phone rang.
"Hello, is this Jiaojiao?" Deng Min's voice came through.
"Sister-in-law, it's me. What's wrong?"
"I'm coming. I'll tell Jiaojiao," came Bai Shihai's voice from the other end of the line. Bai Shihai took the phone. "Jiaojiao, your sister-in-law is pregnant again. She's three months along!"
"It's been three months already?"
"Yes, your sister-in-law is really confused. She's a mother of two, and it took her three months to realize it."
Although they hadn't met, Bai Jiaojiao could still hear the joy in Bai Shihai's words.
"That's great, congratulations, brother."
"We just got back from the hospital for a checkup, and they said the baby is doing well, so we immediately thought of calling you!"
"This is truly wonderful news. However, brother, sister-in-law is getting pregnant relatively late now. You two must make sure to visit the hospital frequently, follow the doctor's instructions, and ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy."
"I know, don't worry." Bai Shihai knew what Bai Jiaojiao meant. Their mother died in childbirth. When she gave birth to Bai Jiaojiao, her mother was about the same age as Deng Min is now. Although it was common in the countryside, there were still risks involved.
"I'd like to say a few words to my sister-in-law."
Bai Shihai handed the phone to Deng Min, and the two sisters-in-law talked for a long time until Deng Min felt bad about the phone bill and finally hung up.
Bai Jiaojiao walked into the kitchen and saw that Shen Heng had already washed and prepared all the vegetables.
"What's going on at home? Why have we been talking for so long?"
Bai Jiaojiao then told Shen Heng about her sister-in-law's pregnancy: "Brother Heng, do you want a boy or a girl in the future?"
"I don't want any of them."
Shen Heng nudged the firewood beside him with his foot; he had absolutely no interest in the child.
"It is necessary."
Shen Heng thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have a boy."
"Why are you so sexist?"
“The boy is tough; if he misbehaves, I’ll kick him out the door. But the girl is a different story.”
