Chapter 77: It's all retribution.



They kept looking at the files as they went, and finally finished around 1 or 2 a.m.

No matter how many books one person has, it's not as fast as a bookstore filling up the space. Huang Yiyi threw all her books in, leaving only a small storage room that could hold five people.

This left Huang Yiyi somewhat disappointed. "My childhood, my youth, and all I can do is move to another warehouse. It's so heartbreaking."

Xiao Feiran patted her head reassuringly, "We need to look on the bright side. You've studied for so many years, and after graduation, you might work yourself to the bone for three years in a big city and only be able to afford two square meters of housing. But now you can get such a big warehouse, isn't that much bigger!"

After hearing this, Huang Yiyi, who felt even more hopeless about life, thought: "..." Well said, but don't try to comfort me again next time.

Looking at Xiao Feiran's serious face, Huang Yiyi sighed, pushed her hand away, and walked away.

Because they went to bed late, they naturally woke up late the next day. They didn't come out until lunchtime.

As soon as I got up, I saw dark clouds covering the sky, a heavy, oppressive mass that seemed to weigh down on the city. Huang Ma complained, "This is awful! It's already cold, and now it's raining. We're going to freeze solid!"

Their car had already been driven away by the boys, and there was nothing in Huang Yiyi's yard. Cheng Zhi stood by the window, holding a water glass, "I wonder if they've arrived yet."

Huang Yiyi is a local and quite familiar with the area. "They probably arrived last night. I hope they didn't encounter any difficulties on the way, otherwise it would be terrible if they were delayed."

Father Huang took out a Go set and smiled at them. "Don't worry, Yangzhou is quite safe. They'll definitely arrive safely. Don't worry about them. Why don't you play Go with your uncle?"

Huang Yiyi disliked playing chess the most; she preferred reading comics. She shook her head and declined her father's invitation.

Zheng Wan was helping the aunt cook in the kitchen, Xiao Feiran and Chen Siyu were exercising with Sister Pa, and it seemed that only Cheng Zhi was left.

Cheng Zhi volunteered to take on the challenge, and after sitting down, she said, "Uncle, I only know how to play Gomoku, not Go. You might have to teach me first."

Since he had nothing better to do, Mr. Huang readily agreed.

An hour later, Mr. Huang broke down, "Uncle, you're wrong! Let's play Connect Four instead! Ludo is fine too!"

Seeing Mr. Huang scratching his head in frustration, Cheng Zhi felt very embarrassed. Holding up the chess piece in her hand, she said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Shall we try again?"

Hearing that Cheng Zhi wanted to try again, Huang's father was so frightened that he quickly put the chessboard away. "No need, no need, thank you, Zhizhi. It's been too long, Uncle is tired and needs to lie down. You go and play with them too."

After saying that, he quickly ran back to his room, chessboard and all.

Cheng Zhi, realizing she seemed to be being disliked, thought, "..." Did you really have to run so fast? Uncle, you're not even wearing slippers!

Hearing the noise, Huang Yiyi, who was sitting on the sofa reading comics, looked up from her comics and said calmly, "You made your master angry in just one hour. Not bad, not bad, you've improved again."

"What are you saying? What do you mean by 'again'?" Cheng Zhi glared at Huang Yiyi angrily.

Cheng Zhi looked defiant, making Huang Yiyi want to vomit blood. She counted on her fingers how many masters Cheng Zhi had angered and driven away.

In her freshman year of college, Cheng Zhi went to ask her teacher questions about advanced mathematics. She made the teacher cry. Although she did poorly on the final exam, the teacher still helped her out because he really didn't want to see Cheng Zhi again next semester.

In her sophomore year, Cheng Zhi chose basketball for her physical education class, but she just couldn't learn the three-step layup. A senior who had a crush on her volunteered to teach her. After teaching her for two days, the senior gave up on his beloved girl with tears in his eyes. He couldn't teach her, he just couldn't teach her at all.

Huang Yiyi wanted to continue, but Cheng Zhi couldn't stand it anymore and covered her mouth, saying, "That's not what I wanted either. Who doesn't want to learn quickly?"

With her mouth covered, Huang Yiyi could only whimper. She wanted to speak again, but Cheng Zhi quickly let go of her hand.

"Friend, it's not a matter of speed, it's that you're so infuriating when you learn things. I teach you for three minutes, but you die half an hour later," Huang Yiyi said with great disdain.

Xiao Feiran, who was on the other side during halftime, also strongly agreed with this statement: "I still remember when I taught you to ride a bicycle in our sophomore year. It's no exaggeration to say that I felt my blood pressure was high for two days."

"And when I teach you how to ride an electric bike."

"And the time I taught you how to knit a sweater."

The people in the living room kept mocking her, but when Cheng Zhi saw Zheng Wan come out, it was like seeing a ray of light. The kind and lovely Zheng Wan would definitely not criticize her, right?

As a result, Sister Wan gave him a rude awakening and actually joined in their rant, saying, "What's that compared to what you guys did? I taught her how to cook before, and she was afraid of getting splashed with oil, so as soon as she put the food into the pot, she would grab a cleaver and run away. I was afraid of being accidentally hurt by her with the cleaver, and I was also afraid that the kitchen would explode."

Cheng Zhi: "..." So her learning ability is really that bad?

After listening to them recount their experiences, Cheng Zhi felt as if she had hurt many people on her academic journey, especially her roommates.

Chen Siyu stretched and loosened her muscles. "Actually, this is quite beneficial for us too."

Cheng Zhi: "...What do you mean?"

“This way, when we help our kids with their homework in the future, we won’t be so overwhelmed. After all, we’ve already experienced it. And if we encounter any difficulties in life, we can think about how we helped Cheng Zhi, and then we won’t be able to overcome any obstacle!” Everyone laughed after Chen Siyu said this.

Cheng Zhi, the person involved, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was even a little scared. If she was this difficult to deal with, would her future children be even more difficult to raise? She would be the one with high blood pressure then.

Cheng Zhi told her roommates about her worries, and they were all amused.

Xiao Feiran sighed that the world is fair, or rather, it is the cycle of cause and effect. The suffering they are experiencing now will be experienced by Cheng Zhi in her own children in the future.

Cheng Zhi wanted to cry but had no tears. This was karma, wasn't it?

Huang Yiyi's face clearly said, "You'd better pray for yourself from now on," and she leaned close to Cheng Zhi and said, "We should also think on the bright side. What if that child looks like his father? As long as he doesn't look like you, he won't be in such a bad situation."

Cheng Zhi shook her head repeatedly in refusal; she decided against having the child, as she dared not gamble on a 50% chance.
