Chapter 382
"But Tang Lanhua's grades are pretty good. Don't you think it's a pity that the school just lets her go back like this?" Liu Fu said.
"No matter how good her grades are, she is not a genius. The teacher can only persuade her family, but can't force her family to do anything?" Yang Lu said.
"Will it be helpful if we call the police?" Zhang Huiyun asked.
"It's useless." Ye Fuyue said, "After all, this is a family matter, and the police can't do anything about it. Legally, Tang Lanhua is not divorced, and outsiders can't interfere with what her husband wants her to do."
Zhang Huiyun, Liu Fu and Wu Qiaoer all sighed.
"It would be a pity if Tang Lanhua couldn't come back." Zhang Huiyun said.
"What a pity! She deserves it." Yang Lu scoffed. "No one forced her to get married. She wanted to get married on her own. If she hadn't gotten married and had been a well-educated youth, she wouldn't be in this situation now."
"You don't understand." Zhang Huiyun looked at Yang Lu and said, "You've never been to the countryside, so you don't know what life was like for the educated youth there. Physical suffering is the worst. It's the mental suffering that's the most painful, the kind that feels like there's no end in sight and there's no hope of returning to the city."
Yang Lu rolled her eyes. "That's why I said she deserved it! It's not like all the educated youth who went to the countryside married locals like she did. Others can handle it, but she can't. Isn't it her own fault?"
Zhang Huiyun stopped talking.
In the following days, the atmosphere in the dormitory was a little low because of Tang Lanhua's incident.
After a while, everyone was busy with their own affairs and had their own lives to live. Gradually, they forgot about Tang Lanhua, and the atmosphere in the dormitory returned to normal.
However, whenever they saw Tang Lanhua's empty table and bed, everyone's mood would drop for a few seconds, and then they would go about their own business.
After Ye Fuyue felt sorry for Tang Lanhua, she also got busy with her own affairs.
Zhong Lan and Cui Li's small business was going smoothly. Ever since she had taught those thugs a lesson last time, no more thugs had bothered them.
After discussing with Ye Fuyue, the two men increased the variety of buns sold every day to four, namely vermicelli buns, sauerkraut buns, carrot buns and meat buns.
Because they had to prepare more fillings, the two of them were busier than usual. However, seeing that the buns they made every day were sold out and they earned some money, they felt that all the hard work was worth it.
Now the two of them can get more than 100 yuan in dividends every month, which undoubtedly makes them more motivated.
Ye Fuyue was also very happy. After all, Zhong Lan and Cui Li received more dividends, so she would get even more.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of November.
The colder the weather, the easier it is to sell baozi. However, the colder the weather, the faster they get cold. To sell the baozi while they're still hot, Zhong Lan and Cui Li don't dare take too many baozi when they go out, fearing they'll get cold before they're all sold.
The result is that they have to go home several times to get the buns, and the time they spend on the road increases.
Seeing this, Ye Fuyue said, "I'll teach you how to ride a bicycle someday when I'm free. You can buy a bicycle so you can spend less time on the road."
Zhong Lan and Cui Li secretly counted the money they had.
Although they have enough money to buy a bicycle now, there won’t be much left after the purchase, which makes them feel a little sad.
Ye Fuyue noticed their hesitation and said with a smile, "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child. Some investments cannot be saved. The time you save can actually help you sell more things."
After hearing what Ye Fuyue said, Zhong Lan and Cui Li nodded.
Cui Li said, "But we don't have any tickets. Where can we get bicycle tickets?"
"I'll find a way to get it for you." Ye Fuyue said.
Every time Xiangyang Furniture Factory settled her design fees, they gave her a lot of tickets, including one for a bicycle, but only one. Next time, she would talk to Director Cai and ask him to get her another one.
"Then we feel embarrassed to take your ticket for free, so we'll give you money," said Zhong Lan.
Cui Li nodded in agreement.
"Okay." Ye Fuyue said, "You don't have to rush to give me the money. You can give it to me when you have more money."
Zhong Lan and Cui Li agreed.
Suddenly, crying sounds were heard outside the small western-style building.
"Mom—Mom—Mom—"
Cui Li shuddered and stood up: "Lai Bao?"
They ran to the door and saw that it was Laibao.
Laibao was crying with tears and snot all over his face, banging on the gate and calling for his mother.
"Laibao——" Cui Li ran over quickly, opened the gate, and picked up Laibao.
Half of Laibao's face was red, with clear fingerprints on it. Cui Li's eyes were red with heartache when she saw it.
"Who hit you? Liang Tianxiong?" Cui Li asked after she carried Lai Bao into the house.
Laibao cried and shook his head: "Grandpa beat me. He told me to get out and said he didn't want me anymore, so I came to find you."
"Wuwuwu, grandpa finally doesn't want me anymore, wuwuwu, mom, I can finally be with you..."
Cui Li looked at Lai Bao and felt both distressed and a little happy.
After coaxing Laibao into submission, he explained the whole story.
Ever since Liang's father asked Liang Tianxiong and Laibao to take charge of all the housework, Liang Tianxiong has been trying every means to be lazy, attempting to let Laibao do all the work, while he only needs to take credit in front of Liang's father and Liang Nan.
But Laibao was already expecting Liang's father and Liang Nan to hate him and drive him away, so how could he possibly do the housework obediently?
Liang Tianxiong ordered him to do something, but he didn't listen. Liang Tianxiong would beat him, and he would fight Liang Tianxiong. Although he was always at a disadvantage, Liang Tianxiong would inevitably get hurt.
Liang Tianxiong complained to Liang's father and Liang Nan, saying that Laibao was unwilling to do any work and asked him to do it.
Liang's father and Liang Nan therefore had a lot of opinions about Lai Bao.
Seeing that Liang's father and Liang Nan were dissatisfied with Laibao, Liang Tianxiong, on the contrary, seemed to have discovered a new world and happily started doing housework, but he always did it perfunctorily.
In contrast to Liang Tianxiong, Liang's father and Liang Nan became more and more dissatisfied with Laibao, thinking that he was lazy and greedy, just like Cui Li.
Liang Tianxiong even instigated Liang's father and Liang Nan not to let Laibao eat because Laibao did not do any work.
Liang's father and Liang Nan followed Liang Tianxiong's instigation, and Laibao went hungry for many meals because of this.
But no matter how they punished Laibao or starved him, Laibao just refused to work.
Seeing how stubborn he was, Liang's father and Liang Nan became even angrier and less patient with him.
But what they didn't know was that Laibao was not really starving. Chen Guifeng would secretly give him food every time.
Day after day, Liang Nan and Liang's father's dissatisfaction with Lai Bao was almost reaching its peak. On the contrary, the more they disliked Lai Bao, the more obedient Liang Tianxiong seemed to be.
