"Chen Zhaodi, are you looking for death?!"
Chen Zhaodi looked up in alarm and saw Zhou Hongyu and her group standing at the door. Zhou Hongyu's face was even more unpleasant than the bottom of a pot.
Last week, Shen Keyi gave birth. Zhou Hongyu took two elderly people and two daughters to Guangdong Province to visit the new mother. They were originally scheduled to return before Chang Huaying started school, but now they have suddenly arrived home without any warning.
Chen Zhaodi was careless in her actions and trembled with fear upon hearing Zhou Hongyu's angry roar.
"Why are you back...?"
Beside Zhou Hongyu was Granny Chang, who had a half-smile on her face.
My mother-in-law's smile is so beautiful! It's terrifying!
"How would we know what kind of bullshit you've done if you don't come back!" Zhou Hongyu shoved the bag in her hand into Chang Shuying's hands.
He casually grabbed the small shovel that Granny Chang usually used to loosen the soil around the flowers and plants.
Chen Zhaodi was jolted awake, realizing something was terribly wrong, and immediately covered her head and ran frantically out the door.
Screams erupted: "Murder! Zhou Hongyu has murdered someone!"
From one end of the alley to the other, the entire alley was filled with Chen Zhaodi's panicked screams.
Old Mrs. Liu stood at the doorway, directing: "Hongbing's wife, run into the next alley and she won't be able to catch you!"
Turning her head, Granny Liu chatted with the neighbors: "Zhou Hongyu is too domineering. It's obvious she's holding a grudge because Chang Huaying got into Capital Normal University, stealing the limelight from the second wife! Otherwise, Zhou Hongyu wouldn't be so smug about her second son studying at a top high school! Chen Zhaodi is still too weak! If I were her, I would have fought Zhou Hongyu to the death!"
The neighbors, munching on sunflower seeds, nodded: "Commendable courage! How about I call Zhou Hongyu back for you, and you can have a big fight with her! Chen Zhaodi will remember your kindness!"
"No, no, no!" Granny Liu's face turned pale, and she waved her hands frantically.
Granny Zhou was standing right at the Chang family's door; winning the fight would be the real death sentence!
*
After being 'hunted down' once, Chen Zhaodi never dared to have any feelings for Chang Huaying again.
Not only that, Chen Zhaodi was also forced to agree to cover Chang Huaying's tuition and living expenses for the next four years, which was how Zhou Hongyu barely managed to save her from the clutches of death.
No one else can escape a scolding either!
Zhou Hongyu scolded Old Man Chang: "Dad, you are the head of the family. If you were firm, what would Chen Zhaodi have to do with it! It would be so embarrassing if word got out! Your favoritism is outrageous!"
Old Man Chang was covered in sweat: "I'll reflect on my actions, and I won't do it again!"
Zhou Hongyu berated Chang Hongbing a second time: "Brother, Huaying worked so hard to get into Capital Normal University, such a good school. Not only are you not happy for your child, but you also scheme against her because of her good grades. Do your leaders know about this?"
Chang Hongbing bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "We are sorry to Hua Ying. I promise that this will not happen again. From now on, I will give Hua Ying half of my salary every month as pocket money!"
Half of my monthly salary!
Tuition and fees are all covered!
Chen Zhaodi wanted to speak, but then she remembered that Zhou Hongyu had deducted a quarter's bonus from her because of this, so she didn't dare to do anything.
If the bonus is gone and Zhou Hongyu gets angry again, will her salary be deducted?
Zhou Hongyu berated Chang Yaozu three times: "Why didn't you refuse? That's your sister's hard-earned admission to Capital Normal University! You still want to use your sister's future to pave your own way! You useless piece of trash! If you can't go on living, you should reincarnate sooner!"
"Did you really do your best this year? I didn't bother with you before the college entrance exam, but now that it's over, I have to talk to you! You ran off to the Northeast without a word during what should have been your review period, and brought back a woman whose background you don't even know! Were you preparing for the college entrance exam, or were you just messing around!"
Chang Yaozu was so scared that he cried loudly. His second aunt had never been so fierce before!
Granny Chang felt really relieved; she deserved it!
They've been repeating their senior year for years and still don't know how to cherish their time, wasting their own lives and their parents' hard-earned money!
Zhou Hongyu rolled up her sleeves and looked at Chang Hongbing and his wife: "When I entered the alley, I heard from the neighbors that all the scoundrels in the next few alleys had been accepted by schools. Chang Yaozu scored more than 30 points higher than him. Why didn't Chang Yaozu get into a school?"
Forced into a corner, Chang Hongbing and his wife looked at each other helplessly and reluctantly came to an answer.
"We don't know!"
"I don't know!" Zhou Hongyu crushed the newly sprouted grass with the soles of her shoes, her eyes fierce.
It was as if she would chase Chang Hongbing and his wife all over the alley if she couldn't give them a satisfactory answer.
Chen Zhaodi raised her hands in surrender, giving a good reason: "After the exam, filling out the application, and receiving the results, it's just a matter of waiting for the admission notice at home. Hongbing and I are busy with work and can't take care of Yaozu's affairs. Yaozu has to follow up on all of this himself!"
Chang Yaozu chimed in, "Second Aunt, I've been like this every year. I probably still haven't passed the exam this time. I'm really not cut out for studying!"
With his younger sister Huaying accompanying him to the exam, he had a premonition that this would be his best performance yet, and he couldn't help but fantasize about university life in September.
Still failed the exam!
Zhou Hongyu recalled her fragmented dream. Although she didn't know when Chang Yaozu was admitted to university, she could deduce from the dream that Chang Yaozu had attended university.
After Chang Yaozu graduated from university, Chang Hongbing and his wife used their life savings to bribe officials and get him a job in the government, so they were able to make a living.
Given Chang Yaozu's muddle-headed nature, if he fails to get into university, even if he manages to marry and have children thanks to the success Chen Zhaodi has built, it will be difficult for him to support a family.
Chang Hongbing and his wife favored sons over daughters, and gave most of their savings to their son. Will they have to push all the responsibility onto Chang Huaying when Chang Yaozu is unable to support his parents in their old age?
Zhou Hongyu wasn't doing this for anyone else; she was only thinking about Chang Huaying. If possible, she wanted to find at least one school to get Chang Yaozu in!
At this moment, Granny Zhou, who never liked to meddle, spoke up quietly.
"Which school does that scoundrel you're talking about go to? Chang Yaozu is several tens of points ahead of him. If parents care about their children, they should ask around and see if there are any connections they can make. It's worth spending any amount of money!"
Chen Zhaodi objected: "That scoundrel went to a junior college, but he's useless. His school is practically in the next province! There's no future in graduating from a school like that!"
"Heh," Zhou Hongyu sneered.
"You're spineless! Even your son can't go!"
Chen Zhaodi was taken aback, her face turned ugly, and she turned to glare at Chang Yaozu.
Son, why are you so disappointing!
If you were to go to Capital Normal University, Mom would gladly do it even with her eyes closed!
"Erlaizi went to an agricultural school in the suburbs. It's said that most of the students there are rural students with Beijing household registration. The admission scores for rural students in Beijing are high, and there are subsidies. I wonder if Yaozu can get into this school..."
Chang Hongbing had the clearest understanding. At that time, Chang Yaozu had not yet received his admission notice, so he couldn't help but be curious and asked clearly.
Although Chang Yaozu achieved the best score this year and seems to have secured his place, he is still walking a tightrope until he receives his acceptance letter, and he cannot relax for even a second.
As expected, I didn't pass the exam in the end.
