Lin Xiaoru originally wanted to rush up, but when she saw Wu's mother take out a carrying pole from the door, she was so frightened that she retreated repeatedly.
"You...you just wait and see!" Lin Xiaoru threatened, knowing better than to fight a losing battle, and slunk away.
Having suffered such humiliation today, I must avenge this defeat.
Panting, Wu's mother said to He Tiantian, "Thanks to Tiantian today, if it weren't for anyone else, I don't know what this woman would have done!"
"Should we report this to the police?" Wu Youliang said, distressed. That kind of woman was disgusting and impossible to guard against!
Mr. Wu thought for a moment and said, "What's the use of reporting it to the police? At most, we can scold that woman a few times, but we can't arrest her since no real harm was done. Forget it, just be more careful in the future and don't leave Jingli here alone. After the exams, take her back to our hometown."
After thinking for a moment, Wu's mother said, "Old man, we can sell all the piglets, chickens, ducks and geese in our house. Let's not wait until the end of the year when the prices are higher. Let's sell them all. I'll take care of Jingli here."
"Mom, isn't this a bit much?" Huang Jingli was touched, but she was also thinking about giving the family more income.
Mother Wu waved her hand and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. Money isn't earned in a day or two. Your health is important. Anyway, we still have your father-in-law and cousin. We're not short of money."
Mr. Wu nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it this way! We'll go back tomorrow morning. You pack your luggage, I'll clean the poultry, and then you can come and keep your daughter-in-law company."
He Tiantian suggested, "Wu Youliang, I suggest you take Sister Jingli to the hospital for a check-up."
Wu Youliang nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a look!"
Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu also agreed.
"Then you guys go ahead. I have children at home, so I won't come along." He Tiantian said goodbye. The Wu family didn't need anyone else, so they didn't need her to come along.
"Alright, I have something to do at home today. I'll invite you over for dinner another day," Wu's mother said with a smile, personally seeing He Tiantian out of the house.
After He Tiantian returned home, she stayed up for half an hour longer than usual.
The two children were already waiting at the door, looking longingly at the road under the big elm tree.
He Tiantian got off her bicycle and asked with a smile, "Are you here to pick up Mom?"
"Yes, yes," Huo Ruimin said, "I'm hungry, let's eat, let's eat..."
"Okay, let's eat." He Tiantian smiled, put the two children in the front and back seats of the car, and then pushed it around.
Grandma Wang followed with a smile, saying, "Seeing that you were late, the two children refused to eat. They insisted that I open the door and wait for you at the alley entrance."
"Oh, the child is getting older and harder to take care of. It must be hard on Grandma Wang," He Tiantian said. Later, she would suggest that Grandma Wang not let the child out, because if someone came to snatch the child, she, an old lady, wouldn't be able to catch up!
When they got home, He Tiantian fed her child first.
In the evening, I play with the children until they are tired, then I wash them up, read them bedtime stories, and lull them to sleep.
Huo Yingjie usually helps with these things.
Now that Huo Yingjie is gone, He Tiantian can't be left behind; she takes meticulous care of the child.
Like Huo Yingjie, these two little babies are her lifelong treasures.
The next day was the weekend. He Tiantian took her child out to play in the morning and went to the shop in the afternoon to check the accounts.
Seeing the money in the ledger growing, He Tiantian was very happy. She deposited the profits into the bank, but didn't have any good investments for the time being.
On Monday morning, He Tiantian arrived at school as usual.
A large crowd was seen gathered around the bulletin board, discussing the matter.
He Tiantian has never liked such crowds, so she pushed her bicycle and walked quickly forward.
"Sweetie, wait a minute!" Cui Ying ran out from inside, holding a large poster torn from the wall.
He Tiantian was stunned for a moment, took the paper and read it, then cursed, "Shameless, utterly shameless! This Lin Xiaoru is really going to keep this up."
"Yes, we thought it was over, but Lin Xiaoru has gone even further," Cui Ying said. "Huang Jingli hasn't come to school yet, so we don't know yet. When she comes, she'll definitely see it too, and we don't know if she can handle the shock!"
Just then, Wu Youliang and Huang Jingli arrived at the study.
He Tiantian quickly put away the "big-character poster" in her hand, not wanting Huang Jingli to see it.
Cui Ying cooperated as well.
"Why are you two being so well-behaved?" Huang Jingli asked curiously.
"It's nothing. You look great, you must have had a good meal at home," Cui Ying said with a smile, giving Hua Shan a wink.
"Yes, my mother-in-law came and made me lots of delicious food. I feel like I've gained a lot of weight," Huang Jingli said with a smile, in a good mood, as if she hadn't been affected by Lin Xiaoru.
Hua Shan took Wu Youliang to class and told him what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Wu Youliang cursed, "That's shameless! I have to take Jingli home right away. She values her reputation the most. Now that she's being slandered, many people at school who don't know the truth might believe it. She definitely won't be able to handle it."
"That works too!" Hua Shan didn't stop him and let Wu Youliang go find Huang Jingli.
He Tiantian, Huang Jingli and their group arrived at the classroom.
The once noisy classroom suddenly became quiet, even quieter than when the teacher arrived.
He Tiantian and Cui Ying exchanged a glance, feeling anxious.
Oh no, I bet everyone in the class saw those slanderous posters.
Huang Jingli, puzzled, turned to He Tiantian and asked, "The class is acting strangely today! Why are they suddenly not talking?"
He Tiantian smiled bitterly; the truth could no longer be hidden.
Some classmates expressed doubt and did not fully believe the contents; others who were distant from or had a bad relationship with Huang Jingli looked on with schadenfreude.
"Jingli, why don't you go home and rest today? You don't have many classes today anyway," He Tiantian suggested, wanting to persuade Huang Jingli to go home first, and then talk to her slowly.
Huang Jingli smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine and can attend class. Come on, let's get to our seats, class will start soon."
Huang Jingli urged He Tiantian and Cui Ying to sit down properly.
However, when Huang Jingli got to her seat, she saw a piece of paper on the seat.
Cui Ying was stunned and tried to reach out and snatch it.
But Huang Jingli, who was standing in front, had already picked it up and looked at it once.
"Huh?" Huang Jingli was stunned for a moment, then her breathing quickened. She had already guessed that Lin Xiaoru was behind it. "That shameless woman, all she does is spread rumors... She'll die a horrible death..."
Seeing this, He Tiantian said, "Jingli, calm down. You're pregnant. If you get angry, you've fallen for Lin Xiaoru's trick."
Cui Ying also advised, "Yes, Huang Jingli, calm down, calm down!"
