When Qiao Yu returned to his rented room, he realized that something interesting had happened during his half-day absence.

After failing to gain any benefits from the landlady, Sun Fengling set her sights on her old lover, but was found and torn apart by his lover's lover.

This Huang Widow is also interesting.

Would you not know there are extra things at home?

Knowing clearly that her daughter-in-law was being taken advantage of, she brought things back home. Even if she didn't get any credit, she still had to work hard, right?

As a result, when Sun Fengling was torn apart, Widow Huang made indirect accusations and even took advantage of the chaos to beat Sun Fengling up, saying that her deceased son was pitiful for marrying a pair of sluts.

But she didn't say that her grandson wasn't her own.

Pretending to be ignorant when one knows the truth.

Now Sun Fengling lives in seclusion, while Widow Huang goes around the yard saying bad things about her daughter-in-law, trying to clear herself of all blame.

Widow Huang also went to the factory to promote it.

It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, and she has taken the risk to clear herself.

How did Qiao Yu know?

I learned this after class and dinner when I had nothing to do, so I grabbed a handful of melon seeds and sat under the locust tree in the yard chatting with the old ladies.

The old ladies were acting recklessly and were all saying that Widow Huang was an unbeliever.

Qiao Yu, as a young bull who is not afraid of tigers, also joined the topic: "That's right, old lady, you are in charge of the family's financial power, how can you not know if there are more or less things in the house? Widow Huang has cleared herself of all charges just to have a good reputation so that she can control Sun Fengling.

They say that if you marry a man, you will have clothes and food, but I think it also depends on whether the man’s mother is a good person. If you marry the son of Widow Huang… well, you won’t have a good life in this life.”

Qiao Yu shook his head and said, "However, if I were to be the daughter-in-law of you old ladies present here, I'm afraid I would have to enjoy a peaceful life."

Originally, these old ladies thought that the young man could listen to gossip as he pleased, and considering the melon seeds the young man brought, they didn't care too much.

But it's a bit disrespectful for the young people to mingle in the conversation of their older generation.

But as soon as Qiao Yu opened his mouth... I knew it was true.

She flattered them from the beginning, and they let down their guard.

Without any defenses, it feels a bit floating.

All the dislike I had for Qiao Yu disappeared.

What wonderful young people! Their true qualities can be seen at a glance!

"That's right. I'm well-known in this area for loving my daughter-in-law. Unlike that widow Huang, who treated her daughter-in-law like a commodity and ruined her reputation without letting her go, she will get her comeuppance sooner or later!"

"What a pity that my son has already married. Otherwise, if a college student like you had married into our family, I would have prepared 20 large pumpkins a month for you to nourish your body!"

Qiao Yu: ...

I am completely speechless.

But there was no fluctuation on his face, and he still had a smile that was meant to please the elders.

"Go away, who are you bullying! Only 20 pumpkins a month? University graduates are guaranteed jobs! You'll be assigned to low-level positions right away... By the way, girl, what's your major?"

"Medicine, I want to be a doctor in the future."

As soon as Qiao Yu finished speaking, the gossiping old ladies asked one after another: "Are you going to be a doctor in the hospital in the future?"

"Then can we pay less if we go? We are all neighbors..."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Old lady, please stop joking. I don't own the hospital, so how can I say the numbers are the real numbers? They are all public property. If the hospital bills don't match, wouldn't that be stealing from the public? I wouldn't dare to do that."

"That's right! You old bastard, don't make irresponsible remarks if you don't understand!"

"Then, girl, can you help me take my pulse?"

Qiao Yu was even more terrified. "Pulse diagnosis is a term used in traditional Chinese medicine... Hospitals have introduced advanced machines that are much more accurate than pulse diagnosis. Besides, I don't know how to take a pulse..."

As for the fact that Zhou Ze'an was rescued from the brink of death, the brigade commander and Zhou Ze'an chose to keep it secret and did not reveal that she knew Chinese medicine. She also studied Western medicine in college to avoid being used as a topic in the turbulent times.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm for her fade away = the intention to use her fade away.

Qiao Yu shared a few melon seeds with everyone and started gossiping about Widow Huang's family.

"What can they say about this family?"

Does this mean that everyone in the courtyard knows almost everything about the character of Widow Huang's family?

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "I'm new here, so I don't know much yet. Find out more to avoid getting into trouble again in the future."

"Widow Huang became a widow at a young age, and flirted with the men around her. She finally raised her son, but who knew that the daughter-in-law she married would also bring bad luck to her husband..."

"Keep your voice down. These feudal and superstitious ideas are not popular nowadays."

"Look at my mouth." The old lady slapped her lips and continued, "She brags about her daughter-in-law everywhere, and treats us old people as if we were dead. Everyone knows about the mess she went through when she was young, so why pretend to be innocent?"

Qiao Yu understood a little bit.

So Sun Fengling kept the chastity arch, but the widow Huang might not.

"Why are you so concerned about the Yellow Widow?"

Just as Qiao Yu was about to say something, another old lady said, "This young lady has been arguing with Widow Huang since she arrived, causing Widow Huang to suffer such a big loss. She must find out more about Widow Huang's background, so as not to be targeted by her. Right?"

Qiao Yu smiled.

Who says people become confused when they get old?

The old spirits under this tree.

"Oh, by the way, how much did you spend on the wheel? Do you have any left? Girl, tell us the whole story. There's no one else here anyway."

No outsiders...

Qiao Yu sighed in his heart and immediately burst into tears: "I was going to get less compensation at that time. Later, I went to the mall to contact the manufacturer, and then I found out that I had to pay for it myself.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

I thought that although I was young, I had to keep my promise. If I went back to ask Mrs. Huang for compensation, wouldn’t that be breaking my promise? How could I continue to live in this yard?

Alas, I am still too young..."

All the old ladies came to comfort Qiao Yu.

But how many people actually believe what these old ladies say?

I don’t know about that.

Anyway, she just made it up casually, it didn't cost her any money or effort, it's fine if some people believe it, it's no loss if no one believes it.

After a few more days of classes, Qiao Yu felt relieved for a short time after not noticing any movement at Widow Huang's house.

She felt that if she had a grudge against Widow Huang, she would not let her go easily. It was just a matter of time.

We'll deal with it as the time comes.

…

Qiao Yu focused on his studies while also building a good relationship with his counselor.

The counselor revealed an important piece of news to her. University Town will invite a university scholar to teach temporarily. If she takes his courses and performs well, it will help her with academic credits.

It just so happened that this course was related to medical equipment, and all medical students would choose this course. The difference was that Qiao Yu knew the importance of this temporary teacher.

The first time I met this university teacher, I felt that he looked familiar.

Until the other party wrote his name on the blackboard——

Zhang Zhou.

Then she suddenly realized.

She went to the island last weekend and her grandfather called her when she was going to the sea with the children. Zhou Wu happened to be holding his breath while diving, which made her so angry that she forgot about her grandfather.

Later……

Well, I forgot to call you back.

Could it be that Grandpa is trying to talk about Zhang Zhou coming to teach?

Qiao Yu listened to the whole class carefully. He did not speak actively as planned to leave a good impression. After the class, he ran to the nearest post office and quickly called his grandfather.

Before she even opened her mouth, Mr. Zhang scolded her, "You are so busy, little girl! It took you so long to call me back! What are you busy with every day? You are not busier than me!"

"Hehe." Qiao Yu smiled guiltily.
