Before Ding Huizhu could speak, Aunt Wan quickly recited Ding Huizhu's bank account number.

"Sister-in-law Wan!" Ding Huizhu quickly stopped her. She was already so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground. Asking Xie Li for that money at this time would only make her feel even more ashamed.

Originally thinking that Xie Li must not have remembered since Sister Wan reported it so quickly, Ding Huizhu made up her mind that she would not take the money.

Anyway, it wasn't much money, so it was just compensation for Xie Li.

"No need to transfer it, just consider it your allowance, go buy some good food..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a notification on his phone. He picked it up and saw that it was a text message notification that 180,000 yuan had been deposited into his account.

Xie Li put his phone away and said calmly, "No need, I don't need that little bit of money."

She paused, then added, "You don't need to sign me up for any more tutoring classes. It's a waste of money; I don't need it."

Ding Huizhu's guilt from just now dissipated largely because of those words.

What did Xie Li mean by that? Was he holding a grudge and blaming her for enrolling him in the Yuan training class?

Before she could even process a thought, she heard Chen Lian join in the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for complaining/criticizing).

"Auntie, why did you enroll Xie Li in the Yuan training class? How insecure are you about yourself? Do you think the Xie family's tutoring is inferior to some worthless training institution?"

Madam Shen gave a mock scolding, "Shen Lian, don't be so rude!"

Chen Lian grinned, "Mom, isn't that what you said! What mother would send her child to that kind of training institution!"

"You're so busy, but when you heard I wanted to go, you made a special effort to learn about the institution's teaching philosophy and ideas. Your first reaction was to oppose it."

"Aunt Ding isn't as busy as you. She has more time to investigate that training institution, right? So why did she insist on sending Xie away after learning that the institution's philosophy was male chauvinism? The Xie family isn't the kind of feudal family that's so rigid!"

Ding Huizhu's face immediately turned bright red, but she couldn't say anything to Chen Lian, this junior.

Madam Shen pretended to scold Shen Lian, but in reality, she didn't stop Shen Lian from speaking at all.

Su Ying smiled and echoed, "I also find it incredible. Xie Li is so popular at school, where many of the students are young ladies from various families. How could he possibly need to be trained in etiquette?"

"Besides, shouldn't a student's main task be to study? Xie Li is still a minor, why should he have to learn some feudal rules about being a good wife and mother?"

With just a few casual words, she was practically blatantly accusing Ding Huizhu of being a feudal remnant!

Ding Huizhu felt a burning pain in her cheeks. "I didn't think this through, but I meant well..."

After Madam Shen and the other two younger relatives had finished speaking, she smiled and said to Ding Huizhu, "By the way, there's another matter I came here for, and I especially want to thank Xie Li!"

"It's about the hair growth serum from last time..."

Madam Shen quickly recounted the events, even tossing her hair for Ding Huizhu to see.

"Look at this, isn't it amazing? I never thought I could give my hair a new lease on life!"

Ding Huizhu was stunned for a moment, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning, and it took her a long time to react.

Hair growth serum, what kind of hair growth serum?

Suddenly, he remembered the time when Madam Hang came to his house to cause trouble. It was only because Pharmacist Chen came to support Xie Li that things didn't get too ugly.
