"How did that little brat find us?"
Back home, Wang Xiuhua was still heartbroken about spending over ten thousand yuan on Zhou Ling that day, her face filled with frustration and anger.
You know, those gold jewelry pieces should have been worn by her, but they all ended up benefiting Zhou Ling.
What's most puzzling is that after they finally managed to shake off Zhou Ling, she actually chased them all the way from Fanjia County to Yanjing and even found them with pinpoint accuracy.
To call it a coincidence would be an overstatement.
Zhou Dana wasn't worried about these things. What Zhou Ling was concerned about was that they had been caught buying gold by Zhou Ling. They couldn't just leave without paying some money; otherwise, Zhou Ling would definitely make a scene.
"Actually, we didn't waste that ten thousand yuan. At least we successfully fooled her and made her still approve of us. Moreover, we were able to keep her in check."
Wang Xiuhua nodded, her expression flashing. She suddenly thought of something and said in a deep voice, "Luckily you were smart enough not to tell her how much money we have, otherwise she might have tried every means to get it back from us."
"Withdraw all the cash from the card and deposit it into another bank card as a future secret stash. As for the remaining few thousand yuan, just tell her openly and honestly. Don't be afraid of her finding out. Also, we need to find a job. It doesn't matter how much we earn, as long as we have a reasonable reason, we can legitimately avoid having to take care of her child and serve her and her baby."
Zhou Dana had already planned out all the possible responses.
The thought of having to serve Zhou Ling and her daughter filled Wang Xiuhua with disgust and disdain. Before, when Zhou Ling had 300,000 yuan in compensation for her demolished house, she could hold her nose and act as her nanny. But now, Zhou Ling had no value and was more of a burden, so she didn't want to serve her at all.
If you can avoid it, then avoid it!
Zhou Ling was unaware that in Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua's eyes, she was nothing more than a worthless, easily fooled fool. Spending money on her was merely to appease her emotions; all the so-called concern and pity were fake.
Just as Zhou Dana had guessed,
The next day, Zhou Ling took the initiative to come over, wanting Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua to help take care of the child, and at the same time, she asked that person how much money they had been given.
Upon learning that she only had five or six thousand yuan left, Zhou Ling's face showed obvious disappointment. She thought she had a lot more, but it turned out that she only had so little left. However, thinking that most of the money had been used to buy gold, she felt much better.
"Xiaoling, your mother and I have discussed it and decided to give all this money to you for safekeeping."
“From now on, you will be in charge of this household, but your mother and I can’t help you take care of the children. We can’t just sit around and do nothing. The cost of living in Yanjing is high, so we have to go to work and earn money.”
Zhou Dana continued to deceive people.
"Can't one of you stay at home? It's too tiring for me to take care of the child by myself. I have to take her everywhere I go, which is very inconvenient," Zhou Ling said, frowning.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiuhua said helplessly, "Daughter, we want to too. Xiaoya is so cute. How could we, as her grandparents, not want to spend time with our granddaughter? But compared to taking care of Xiaoya, we should focus our energy on making money. There's a big difference between having one more person working and having one less. We're just trying to reduce some of your pressure. If you want to make money, you have to be willing to sacrifice. There's no way around it. Nothing in this world is perfect."
Hearing this, Zhou Ling felt it made sense, so she had no choice but to stop insisting and give up the idea of having the two of them help take care of the child.
With the bank cards handed over by Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, he returned to his residence in a fairly pleasant mood.
After seeing off Zhou Ling, this plague, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua quickly reverted to their true colors, occasionally uttering a few unpleasant curses.
...
After a month of various elimination rounds, the finals of the university games, organized by the city, have finally begun.
Freshmen from various universities gathered in the gymnasium, creating a lively atmosphere.
Every time a game was played, a tsunami of cheers erupted, filling the entire stadium with youthful energy.
Two days,
The finals have come to a close, with the top three finishers in each sport being determined.
In the volleyball event, the School of Transportation Engineering took first place, followed by the School of Humanities in second place, and then Yenching University.
In the table tennis event, Yenching University won first place, and Yenching University of Science and Technology came in second.
...
Overall, Yenching University performed well at this sports meet, achieving good results in almost all events except for a few.
Zhou Chen led the basketball team representing the freshmen of Yanda University to second place, which was a bit of a disappointment.
In track and field events, there was no doubt that first place was already secured.
After the sports meet, university life began to settle into a routine.
And this is the most authentic college life: attending classes, going to the cafeteria, spending time in the library, participating in campus activities, and so on. These things happen to almost everyone.
From frequently hearing Zhou Chen's name to gradually losing interest, Zhou Na felt that the world had finally quieted down, and her mood would no longer be affected by that person.
Zhou Na's daily routine is very fulfilling and busy. She attends classes during the day, works part-time at the cafeteria at noon, and tutors in the evening. She has almost no free time for entertainment. Even if she does have some free time, she will use it to read and study.
If she wants to stand out from the crowd and catch up with or even surpass Zhou Chen, she has to put in extraordinary effort.
Zhou Na was fully aware of this.
She is also striving towards this goal.
To Zhou Na's surprise, Zhou Ling had rarely contacted her these days, and hadn't even asked her for money this month.
This surprised Zhou Na somewhat.
then,
Taking advantage of the weekend when she wasn't so busy, Zhou Na rode her bicycle to Zhou Ling's place.
As we passed an intersection,
Upon hearing a familiar voice, she trembled slightly, immediately stopped her bicycle, and her gaze fell upon a filthy beggar.
"Please, have mercy."
"Thank you, thank you..."
The beggar held an empty bowl and kept begging from passersby.
"Fourth brother..."
Is that you?
"Second...Second Sister..."
The beggar looked up, saw Zhou Na, and froze for a full ten seconds.
Zhou Na never expected to run into her fourth brother, Zhou Chuan, on the road. He had been out of contact for almost half a year.
"Fourth brother, go and turn yourself in."
After giving Zhou Chuan a bath and buying him some clean clothes, Zhou Na learned why he had suddenly left Fanjia County and offered him some heartfelt advice.
Her feelings were complicated because she had just learned that Zhou Chuan had actually led people to deal with Zhou Chen.
"Second sister, I don't want to go to jail."
Zhou Chuan shook his head.
"You were just acting under someone else's orders in that matter. If we investigate it, it won't be too serious. Do you want to live a life of secrecy forever?"
You can't hide forever!
Zhou Na looked at her fourth brother with a face full of disappointment and frustration. How could he be so muddle-headed?
