Chapter 100
The Three Stooges
When Zhou Cheng just came back from Jiang's house, just before dinner, he met Lu Jingjing who was going home from school. He walked up to her with a smile and skillfully took the heavy schoolbag from her shoulders.
"I don't need your help. It's not like I can't carry it." Lu Jingjing tried to grab the schoolbag.
"I'm your brother..."
"I have three older brothers. Why are you vying to be my older brother?"
Lu Jingjing snatched the schoolbag back and ran away angrily.
Looking at her back, Zhou Chenggang shook his head helplessly and followed her. However, just as he was about to go to the medicinal field to collect herbs, he saw Yang Jiaojiao coming over with a shovel and a backpack: "Brother Zhou, let me help you."
Zhou Chenggang wanted to refuse.
But Yang Jiaojiao ignored his objection and walked towards the medicine field.
When she arrived, she held the shovel and asked, "Are we going to dig motherwort today? Last time you said you wanted to prepare a medicine for Jingjing, and you needed this herb..."
Having been in the Lu family for so long, Yang Jiaojiao naturally knew that Lu Jingjing suffered from dysmenorrhea.
Every month when her period came, Lu Jingjing would writhe in pain. Zhou Chenggang tried several medicines but none of them worked, so he went to his master for help and got a new prescription.
To be honest, she hated Lu Jingjing as much as she was jealous of her.
Even though they were all lesbians and had lived under the same roof for so long, the treatment Lu Jingjing enjoyed was something she could never imagine in her life.
Zhou Chenggang shook his head.
He took the medicine spatula from her hand, and said with a hint of displeasure: "Don't mess with my things from now on. Many of them are poisonous and can kill people if you are not careful."
"What about Lu Jingjing? Can she just come into your room and look through your things at will?" she retorted.
"She's different..."
"What's the difference? Don't think that just because you are the adopted son of the Lu family, you can really replace Lu Caotang. From the beginning to the end, you are at best a substitute. Aunt Gu never asks you to prepare medicine for Brother Lu, right?"
Swish.
Zhou Chenggang's face turned pale all of a sudden.
His cheeks turned red as he said in a stern voice, "Don't talk nonsense. People should have boundaries and sense of propriety. If you continue to talk nonsense like this, you'll be kicked out of the Lu family."
Clank.
Yang Jiaojiao dropped the bamboo basket.
She stamped her feet and said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault for being so rude and indecisive. I want to see what kind of person Aunt Gu will introduce to you, since you are so cautious. Then you will know what will happen to you."
Having said this, she strode away.
But Zhou Chenggang's face was frighteningly pale, and his leg bones were aching. The slightest movement would cause excruciating pain. The pain from that training session still lingered until now...
In a flash, three days passed.
These days, Jiang Kewei would buy a bouquet of flowers every day and wait for Hu Ouhua on the way to school. As soon as he saw her, he would rush forward to show his goodwill.
The lotus flowers are too annoying.
She refused several times, but he seemed not to understand.
Until that night when he changed into a white shirt and army green trousers, rode his bicycle and stopped beside her with a whirring sound, revealing a brilliant smile.
"Ouhua, today is my sister's birthday. She invited you to attend. You can't refuse again, otherwise she will be angry, and I, her brother, will have to suffer her anger again. You will not bear it, right?" Jiang Kewei said.
Hu Ouhua is powerless to support his forehead.
In this situation, I had no choice but to agree.
It just so happened that she had just bought a collection of poems as a birthday present for Jiang Ruolin.
"Sit in the back and I'll take you there."
Jiang Kewei patted the back seat of the car.
Before, every time he drove into the school, Hu Ouhua said that he was too out of line and would cause unnecessary trouble. Although this was not in line with his high-profile personality, she still endured it.
Hu Ouhua shook her head and sat on it.
We rode our bikes all the way out of the school. Under the gazes of many people, we saw a pair of handsome men and beautiful women in the same frame. It was definitely a beautiful landscape in the university.
For a while, someone even secretly started a small bet:
Huouhua VS Lu Yuetang.
Hu Ouhua VS Jiang Kewei.
The last pair was successful, and the winner could get a big front door from another student...
Good fellow.
When the news reached Dormitory 160, several girls were furious and spoke up for Hu Ouhua.
Wan Huimin said angrily, "We are all women of the new era, and we are not allowed to pursue a happy life? We Ouhua are the victims, and you are making it sound like we are immoral and corrupt. It's so abominable."
At the same time, Hu Ouhua and Jiang Kewei quickly arrived at the hotel on Chengbei Road. When they entered, several brothers and sisters of the Jiang family were there, as well as several of Jiang Ruolin's classmates, a large table of people.
Hu Ouhua congratulated him with a smile and handed over the collection of poems.
Jiang Ruolin was very happy.
She stepped forward, hugged Hu Ouhua and introduced her to the others. When they found out that Hu Ouhua was the heroine that had been making a lot of noise recently, they all opened their eyes wide and looked her up and down.
"That's not surprising. Comrade Hu's eyes are very attractive. If I were a boy, I would also want to pursue you."
"Little brother, I won't scold you anymore. You did a good job."
"Ouhua, you can really consider my Kewei. He is quite capable and knows how to take care of others."
"The Lu family will regret it if they make a mistake."
When Jiang Ruolin said this, someone at the door happened to hear it, rushed forward, slammed the table and shouted: "Are you sick? What kind of person are you?"
Everyone saw that the person who was cursing was none other than Yang Jiaojiao, the girl of unknown origin who was taken in by the Lu family?
Standing next to her is Song Beibei.
Next to her is Zhao Minghui who was jumping so high before.
I heard before that they broke up.
I didn't expect that because of Song Beibei, three cobblers would get together again.
"Who are you, Cricket? Tell me your name if you can!" Jiang Ruolin was not willing to be outdone. She took a step forward, put her hands on her hips and sneered at Jiang Ruolin.
Yang Jiaojiao has been enduring in silence in the Lu family for a long time.
After finally getting the chance to go out with Song Beibei in style, before I could even eat my meal, I ran into the Jiang family and that annoying Hu Ouhua.
She said unhappily, "Yes, I'm not a big shot, but look carefully, this is the legitimate fiancée of Lu Yuetang, the commander of the military compound. Her name is Song Beibei. Does it deafen your ears and blind your eyes?"
While shouting, she did not forget to push Song Beibei out.
Especially the lotus flowers are still there.
The slaps in the face were always the kind that would make Hu Ouhua's face bleed.
"You are the dog, your whole family is dogs!"
Jiang Ruolin was furious.
She was about to roll up her sleeves and get started when Jiang Kewei stopped her.
"Ruolin, don't yell at such a low-class person. You are just lowering your status. You are not even an adopted daughter. At best, you are the Lu family's free babysitter. You are still acting like a bully outside. At best, you are just trying to show off your wealth." Jiang Kewei folded his arms and teased.
"Pfft, brother, you're right, let's not bother with a nanny." Jiang Ruolin said with a wicked smile.
The brother and sister sang the same tune, making Yang Jiaojiao so angry that her eyelids drooped.
If Hu Ouhua said anything like this, she would be furious.
But the people she was facing were the children of high-ranking officials in the military compound, all of whom were outstanding leaders. A mocking voice or a contemptuous laugh from them was like a sharp knife, piercing her heart.
