Zhang Zhenni was so angry that her eyes turned red and her body trembled when her mother was humiliated like this.
At the same time, she also hated Meng Yu for not resisting, making her feel so embarrassed in front of the old lady.
Although Zhang Zhenni was angry, she didn't dare to hit the old lady.
The old lady also knew this truth very well, so every time she quarreled with her, she would say whatever vicious words she wanted, just to make herself feel better.
Meng Yu went to pull her daughter and signaled her to just be patient. The old lady wouldn't live for many more years anyway, so it would be fine after she died.
Looking at her mother's aggrieved face, Zhang Zhenni felt sad and thought of someone unconsciously.
That person is Lin Mengniang.
She remembered that when she was a child in Qiangcheng, Lin Mengniang was just like her mother now, living a life of compromise in this family.
In her memory, Lin Mengniang rarely left the house, never raised her head, and even spoke as softly as a fly. She always stood behind a pillar and was ignored.
They didn’t have the ability to support themselves when they were abroad before. Will their mother have to live like Lin Mengniang in the future?
Zhang Zhenni didn't dare to think about it.
Her expression suddenly changed as she stared at Meng Yu in amazement. The old lady thought Zhang Zhenni had given in and laughed happily...
There were people in front and behind the place they rented. They were very enthusiastic and gossipy at the moment. When they heard them talking loudly, some people came over.
Before entering the house, he had great respect and curiosity for this family of returnees, so he peeked in from outside the door and asked:
"Ms. Mai, what's the good news in your family that makes you so happy?"
The cautious tone and ingratiating smile greatly satisfied the old lady's vanity.
Having lived abroad for more than ten years, the old lady, no matter how dumb she is, can speak a few foreign words.
After she came back, she showed off everywhere, so people in the alley thought she was capable and called her Ms. Mai.
She herself is also very straightforward. Every time she talks to others, she will occasionally throw in a few words in foreign language to remind others that she has been abroad and has studied abroad.
The old lady is a very proud person and she would never let her dirty laundry be aired in public. Otherwise, who would support her in the alley in the future?
Her face wrinkled when she smiled, and she quickly waved her hands and said, "There's no happy event at all. It's just that my Shicheng was invited by the principal of another school to teach there."
When someone heard this, they praised her: "Teacher Zhang must be very impressive that the principals of two schools are competing for her to teach. From now on, Ms. Mai won't have to work anymore and can just sit at home and enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren."
"People who come back from abroad are all well-educated, so of course they're amazing. If they weren't amazing, how could they get their daughter into Hua University to be a foreign language teacher? Hua University is the best school in our city of Beijing."
Zhang Zhenni's expression changed immediately.
It's obvious that she got the job through her own connections, but the old lady said that it was her father who helped her. She really knows how to flatter her son!
Someone asked again, "Ms. Mai, why doesn't your son go to Hua University to take classes?" Another question asked, "What kind of books does your son teach?"
The old lady's face was calm and even better. She said to her neighbor kindly:
"The president of Hua University has also invited my son, but you all know that Shicheng is used to being free and can't settle down in one place.
He also said that he wanted to look around and support the country in educating more students. The teachers hired by Hua University were all regular employees, which he looked down upon, so he wanted to be an external teacher.
External teachers have more freedom.”
He also said, "My son teaches business administration, which is about teaching people how to do business."
Everyone kept praising the old lady and expressing their envy, almost praising her to the sky.
I also tried to please her with the intention of taking advantage of her, just in case she needed help in the future. Anyway, saying nice things doesn't cost any money, at most it would just be a waste of words.
Soon the crowd dispersed, but the old lady was still not satisfied. When she turned around and saw Meng Yu and her daughter, her face immediately fell.
She also said in a contemptuous tone: "You are only useful now. Only when my son is well can you be well. Women don't need to be very strong, as long as they can give birth to sons. In the end, my son is the only one you can rely on."
Zhang Zhenni found her sneer particularly harsh and suddenly thought of the scene she had thought of this morning.
No matter whether Lin Anju is Duobao or not, as long as the old lady dares to make trouble, someone will definitely teach her a lesson.
Moreover, I heard from classmates that Lin Anju's family has some influence. If the old lady makes a big deal out of this, she will be killed.
Death is better for everyone.
Zhang Zhenni's eyes were filled with venom, and she wished she could poison the old lady to death right then and there.
At this moment, the old lady also said: "Don't be dissatisfied. In the end, the only one you can rely on is the man at home. Otherwise, you wouldn't run home even though you are pregnant. Aren't you thinking that there will be someone at home to cover you up?"
The old lady said the last sentence while looking at Zhang Jenny, her eyes full of teasing.
Although they are the closest blood relatives, they regard each other as enemies.
Zhang Zhenni said expressionlessly, "My mother didn't abandon Duobao. He was adopted and is doing well now."
Her words were like a sudden thunderclap in a clear sky.
The two women were so shocked that they were stunned for a long time.
"Say that again?"
The old lady couldn't believe her ears. Are her Zhang family roots still there?
Will anyone burn paper money for her in the future?
Meng Yu even stopped breathing. The first thing she thought about was not why the little brat could survive until now.
But why did the daughter tell the old lady about that little brat.
Meng Yu was wondering if finding Duobao would mean finding Lin Mengniang.
Now that Lin Mengniang is found, can she and Zhang Shicheng live together again?
Thinking of this, Meng Yu looked at her daughter with a look of resentment.
Zhang Zhenni didn't care what her mother thought. She wanted to use someone else to get rid of the old woman.
She was fed up with this old woman and wanted her to die. She would never, ever burn paper money for her again.
Didn’t the old woman say that having a daughter is useless? Then it’s useless. Let her die in poverty in the underground.
Zhang Zhenni said frankly: "There is a student in my class who looks very much like my father. His name is Lin Anju and he is 17 years old."
The old lady counted on her fingers, looked at Meng Yu and muttered to herself:
"Duobao was four years old when he disappeared. We've been away for 12 years. 12 plus 4 equals 16." She looked at Zhang Zhenni, startled, and said, "The ages don't match?"
Zhang Zhenni laughed at her in her heart for being so stupid that she had to count on her fingers, but she said, "Duobao is 17 years old this year."
The old lady's face suddenly relaxed, and she was about to slap her thigh to celebrate, but then she thought of something and turned to ask Meng Yu.
"What was the name of the woman who gave birth to Duobao? I forgot."
Meng Yu pursed her lips and said nothing.
Zhang Zhenni said, "Lin Mengniang."
"Oh my baby, you made it so hard for grandma to find my baby..."
He rushed out before he could finish his words.
