He Tiantian smiled. It's normal for the Wu family to have such thoughts.
Living in someone else's house is never as comfortable as living in your own home.
"Sure, you can let me know if you need anything in the future," He Tiantian said with a smile. She enjoyed being with the Wu family and felt close to them, but she wasn't greedy and always knew when to stop.
"I will absolutely not be polite," Huang Jingli said with a smile. Whether it was getting into university, meeting her husband, or having a comfortable family background now, it was all thanks to He Tiantian.
Huang Jingli has always been grateful.
Wu Youliang looked around but didn't see Huo Yingjie. He asked, "Tian Tian, where's Huo Yingjie?"
Hearing Wu Youliang ask about Huo Yingjie, He Tiantian felt a little sad, but then she smiled and said, "Yingjie received a national-level transfer order a couple of days ago and has already reported to his unit."
"Huh?" Wu Youliang was taken aback. "I was even thinking of hanging out with Huo Yingjie in the future!"
He Tiantian smiled and said, "Don't worry, you have excellent grades and you'll find a satisfactory job."
It had been agreed before that we would go to the Nanmin Civil Research Institute, but Huo Yingjie can't go, but Wu Youliang can still go.
"Yes, it still depends on the results," Wu Youliang said. Thinking about how sad He Tiantian was after Huo Yingjie left, he stopped mentioning Huo Yingjie.
Huang Jingli was also clever; she took the opportunity to ask He Tiantian for advice on pregnancy precautions and some experience in raising children.
When the topic of children came up, He Tiantian's mood improved.
School has started, and He Tiantian strolls under the sycamore trees at school.
Autumn has arrived, and some sycamore leaves have turned yellow and fallen to the ground.
The new semester has brought many new faces to the school, full of energy and hope, eagerly learning all kinds of knowledge.
He Tiantian had the same feeling when she came to the school to register.
Busy with studies, but fulfilling in life.
He's just not by my side anymore.
Fortunately, He Tiantian is really busy, and apart from the evenings, she has no time to think about Huo Yingjie.
He Tiantian arrived at the classroom twenty minutes early today, took out her textbook, and began to review the content of the previous lesson.
At this moment, Huang Jingli, heavily pregnant and pale-faced, entered from outside.
He Tiantian originally just wanted to say hello, but seeing Huang Jingli's expression, she thought Huang Jingli was not feeling well and hurriedly asked, "Sister Jingli, what's wrong? Is your stomach upset?"
Huang Jingli took a few deep breaths to calm herself before stammering, "Sweetie, then... then Lin Xiaoru came to see me just now..."
"Lin Xiaoru?" He Tiantian asked in surprise. "Why would she come looking for you? What did she say that made you so scared?"
Huang Jingli wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "She...she got into the Finance and Economics University in Nanshi, but said she didn't have any money and asked me to lend her some. If I didn't lend her any, she...she..."
Huang Jingli was so nervous that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.
"She threatened you again? What did she threaten you with?" He Tiantian asked, trying to comfort Huang Jingli. "As long as you haven't done anything wrong, you shouldn't be afraid of other people's threats. Even if things get really bad, you still have us as your friends. We can't just stand by and watch you get bullied."
“I haven’t done anything wrong, but she still threatens me with the same old excuses.” Huang Jingli smiled bitterly. “She brought up my family’s landlord background and said that I’m about to graduate and get a job. If I don’t lend her money, she will report me for having a bad family background and that I won’t get a good job.”
"Haha!" He Tiantian laughed. "It's 1979 now, and the year will be 1980. Many things are different from before. When assigning jobs, we won't just look at family background, but also at academic performance and political affiliation at school."
Hearing He Tiantian's words, Huang Jingli felt slightly relieved. He had already joined the Party, and things were indeed different from before.
“You may not know Lin Xiaoru, but I do. She’s a vampire. She won’t give up until she gets what she wants.” Huang Jingli smiled bitterly. The days of fear and anxiety she spent in Qijia Village left a deep shadow on her.
He Tiantian patted Huang Jingli on the shoulder and laughed, "Jingli, this is an open society now. Don't be as timid as before. Be as confident as you were in school, and don't be afraid of Lin Xiaoru. As long as you have the courage to fight her, Lin Xiaoru can't do anything to you!"
“Sigh, I’m just a little worried now, not that I’m afraid of her,” Huang Jingli said. “I’m just afraid that Lin Xiaoru is like a maggot, biting not dead people, but disgusting people.”
"Hehe, your analogy is quite apt," He Tiantian laughed. "As long as you act uprightly and sit honestly, you don't need to be afraid of Lin Xiaoru causing trouble."
Huang Jingli nodded and said, "I won't walk alone anymore, lest that woman become desperate and do something rash. Normally, I'm not afraid. But now that I have a child, I can't be careless."
“Okay, from now on, you’ll come and go from class with me. After school, Wu Youliang will come to pick you up,” He Tiantian said. “If he’s not available, I’ll take you home.”
After He Tiantian's comforting words, Huang Jingli felt relieved. Apart from a slight emotional fluctuation earlier, she wasn't greatly affected.
A few days later, Huang Jingli came out of the office with red eyes.
"Jingli, what's wrong?" He Tiantian asked. She was fine when she entered the office, so why is she crying now?
Huang Jingli choked up as she said, "Someone reported that I behaved improperly during my time as a sent-down youth and wrote a lot of hurtful things."
"Besides Lin Xiaoru, no one else would do something so pointless." He Tiantian sneered. Lin Xiaoru had also frequently reported her before.
And he has been threatening Huang Jingli.
Now that they've arrived in Nanshi, they're resorting to their old tricks again.
Just as Huang Jingli said, it won't kill you, but it's really disgusting.
Can't this woman try a different approach?
“It must be her.” Huang Jingli smiled bitterly. “Last time she blocked my door and asked me for money, but I refused. I knew that if I gave it to her, she would keep an eye on me even more. Before she left, she said that I would definitely regret it.”
"Do you regret it now?" He Tiantian asked, hoping that Huang Jingli could write with a straight face.
“Of course I don’t regret it. I’ve seen through her. Lin Xiaoru is just a greedy person.” Huang Jingli said, “Now I’m compromising and backing down for the sake of my job. Even after I start working, she will still come to my workplace to spread rumors and cause trouble. Rather than being threatened for the rest of my life, I might as well settle it this time.”
Hearing Huang Jingli's words, He Tiantian was very relieved. She hadn't become weak and confused, which made the matter easier to resolve.
“Jingli, you’re right to think this way. If you back down once, you’ll be threatened by Lin Xiaoru for the rest of your life,” He Tiantian said. “You should be patient with this for now. Tonight, call Cui Ying, Hua Shan, and your husband, and we’ll discuss it properly.”
"Thank you, sweetie," Huang Jingli said gratefully. Fortunately, there were still a few educated youths who were in Qijia Village at the time who could testify for her.
