Chapter 366
Tang Lanhua looked at Liu Fu's expression and asked her carefully, "Liu Fu, why did the teacher call you to the office?"
Liu Fu sat back at his desk and said, "Nothing."
Tang Lanhua asked again: "Did something happen in your family?"
Liu Fu glanced at Tang Lanhua in confusion: "Why do you ask?"
"I heard that you didn't do well in the final exam last semester, but you usually study very hard. Did something happen at home that affected you and caused you to not do well in the exam?" Tang Lanhua asked with concern.
Liu Fu's eyes flickered slightly, and he turned his head away and said, "I guess so."
Then Liu Fu said nothing more.
Seeing that Liu Fu was unwilling to say more, Tang Lanhua didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Yang Lu and Zhang Huiyun also came in one after another.
As soon as Zhang Huiyun entered the dormitory, she smiled at everyone and said, "I haven't seen you all for a whole summer. You all look so good. I'm sure you all had a good summer."
Wu Qiaoer said to her, "You look pretty good too. I guess you had a good summer vacation."
Zhang Huiyun sighed.
When she heard her sigh, Wu Qiaoer regretted responding to Zhang Huiyun's words.
Zhang Huiyun complained, "How can I have a comfortable life? My mother-in-law asks me to do this and that all day long, and my husband doesn't care about me."
Wu Qiaoer and Ye Fuyue looked at each other helplessly, both of them had the same expression on their faces: Here it comes again.
Wu Qiaoer and Ye Fuyue pretended to lower their heads as if they were busy with something, and did not respond to Zhang Huiyun's words.
Tang Lanhua asked curiously, "Is your mother-in-law not nice to you?"
"Yes, my mother-in-law doesn't like me. My husband knows it, but he doesn't protect me. Every time my mother-in-law tells me to do something, my husband acts as if he didn't hear it and doesn't react at all." Zhang Huiyun complained.
"Your mother-in-law didn't ask him to do any work, so of course he didn't react." Tang Lanhua said in a very emotional tone.
As if she had found a soulmate, Zhang Huiyun turned her whole body towards Tang Lanhua and said, "Life is really not easy for us women. After marrying into our husband's family, we have to endure the anger of the mother-in-law and the men."
Yang Lu couldn't stand it any longer and said impatiently, "I just ran into you and your man at the school gate. The food you were carrying was all given to you by your man. And I saw your man was speaking to you in a gentle voice, but you looked unhappy and in a bad mood, and your man didn't even give you a cold shoulder. Your man obviously treats you well, so who are you complaining to every day?"
Zhang Huiyun sighed deeply: "You don't understand, he..."
"Yes, no one in the world understands it, but you do!" Yang Lu couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Zhang Huiyun angrily: "Those are new clothes you're wearing, right? They were bought for you by your mother-in-law. I just heard your husband say at the school gate that he and your mother-in-law bought you several new clothes and asked you to wear them all."
Zhang Huiyun still had a sad and resentful look on her face: "The clothes I'm wearing were bought for me by my mother-in-law, but I don't like them. She bought them for me, so I have to wear them. She's unhappy if I don't wear them."
Yang Lu rolled her eyes. "If you don't like it or don't want to wear it, just tell her directly. Why are you telling us? Do you expect us to tell your husband and your mother-in-law? Your husband and your mother-in-law treat you badly, but they still buy you new clothes. They buy you several at a time! Which mother-in-law who treats her daughter-in-law badly would do this? You are always here envying this and that, complaining about this and that who treat you badly. Aren't you annoying!"
Zhang Huiyun was stunned and wanted to say something but couldn't.
After hearing what Yang Lu said, Tang Lanhua felt like a fool for empathizing with Zhang Huiyun just now. She sat back at her desk and continued reading.
Ye Fuyue and Wu Qiaoer looked at each other and said nothing.
Apart from this fact that makes people dislike her, Zhang Huiyun is actually not a bad person, and this incident just passed like a minor episode.
The first week of school was pretty good, the workload wasn't particularly heavy.
Sometimes when she had no classes in the afternoon, Ye Fuyue would go back to the small western-style building to see how Zhong Lan and Cui Li were doing with their food sales.
After entering September, the air had a hint of early autumn. Ye Fuyue began to think that mung bean cakes and mung bean paste might not be able to sell anymore, and they would have to switch to selling something else.
It was at this time that Zhong Lan and Cui Li got into trouble. To be precise, it was Cui Li who got into trouble.
When Cui Li was selling mung bean soup, she met Liang Tianxiong - to be more precise, Liang Tianxiong had been following Cui Li and saw her selling mung bean soup.
Liang Tianxiong kept telling his father that Cui Li was not at home and was out with Zhong Lan every day. Liang's father was very curious about what Cui Li was doing outside every day, and Cui Li's recent changes also made Liang's father very curious, so he asked Liang Tianxiong to follow Cui Li.
Liang Tianxiong wanted to grab Cui Li's pigtails and make her life at home difficult.
So, one afternoon, Liang Tianxiong secretly followed Cui Li and saw Cui Li enter a small Western-style building. He also saw Cui Li carrying a shoulder pole and Zhong Lan carrying a backpack coming out together, and then the two went in different directions.
Liang Tianxiong followed Cui Li all the way, heard Cui Li hawking her wares on the street, and saw Cui Li selling mung bean paste with a smug look on her face.
Liang Tianxiong was angry, proud, and gloating: "Well, Cui Li, you actually did this speculation and profiteering behind my grandfather and my father's backs!"
Cui Li was startled when she saw Liang Tianxiong appear out of nowhere. She felt a wave of fear in her heart. But when she thought about the money she had earned in the past month, she calmed down.
Cui Li said coldly, "This isn't speculation, this is legitimate business."
"It's speculation! It's speculation!! I'm going to tell grandpa and dad, and have them beat you to death and drive you away!" Liang Tianxiong yelled while kicking the bamboo basket.
There was a bamboo basket containing bowls and washing water, which he kicked over.
Seeing Liang Tianxiong about to kick over the wooden barrel of mung bean paste, Cui Li grabbed him and gave him a hard shove: "Go ahead and sue me! Go tell your dad and grandpa right now and tell them to kick me out!"
Liang Tianxiong was stunned. He didn't expect Cui Li to react like this. She was not afraid at all.
He was so angry that he rushed over and knocked Cui Li to the ground, and then spilled the mung bean paste in the wooden barrel onto the ground.
"I'm going to talk to Dad and Grandpa right now and ask them to kick you out. Just wait and see!" Liang Tianxiong threatened with great momentum, then turned and ran away.
When Ye Fuyue came to the small western-style building during the afternoon when she had no classes, she saw Cui Li, who was covered in dust.
After Cui Li finished explaining what happened, she apologized to Ye Fuyue, "I'm sorry, Fuyue, I wasted a bucket of mung bean paste."
"There's nothing to be sorry about. It's okay as long as you're fine. The small business you and Zhong Lan were doing would be exposed sooner or later. Now that it has finally happened, you can think of a solution with peace of mind." Ye Fuyue said.
