Chapter 114: Unreasonable Request, Rejected on the Spot (Part 4)
A shrew is not scary, but she is scary because of her half-knowledge and makes a fool of herself.
Director Zhang suppressed the urge to twitch his lips after hearing this. "Ma'am, the Mathematical Olympiad High School League you mentioned is indeed in mid-October, but besides mathematics, there are also physics and informatics competitions."
Jiang Qin was a little confused and looked at her son inquiringly: "Is this, this much?"
At this moment, Liu Wei wished he could find a hole to crawl into. It was so embarrassing!
Jiang Qin: “?”
Yang Jinqiu's eyes widened in disbelief. "So you're saying... Jiang Fuyue scored full marks in the physics and informatics competitions, ranking first in the country?"
"Yeah," Zhang Quan nodded, "Why, you don't know?"
Yang Jinqiu choked.
Jiang Qin felt as if she had seen a ghost.
Liu Shuting and her husband looked at each other. Although she didn't show it on her face, her heart was already bubbling with jealousy.
Although the old lady didn't understand much, she was good at reading people's expressions.
It is not difficult to see from the reactions of the people around that the eldest brother's daughter has a promising future, so everyone is supporting her, including that director.
You know, the second son had to kowtow in front of this director, which shows that he is not easy to please. But now he is approachable to the eldest son's family...
"You really don't know?" Zhang Quan felt incredible.
If his family had a talented girl like Jiang Fuyue, even if he didn't announce it to the whole world with fanfare, he would at least be unable to resist mentioning her in front of relatives and friends, right?
How can you be so low-key?
Yang Jinqiu was the first to come to her senses. She took two steps forward and affectionately took Han Yunru's arm. "Sister-in-law, you're really something. Yueyue's grades are so good, why didn't you tell her? You made everyone think she was a gymnast..."
Han Yunru smiled: "We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. When we suddenly get together, you see... I don't know how to start."
Zhang Quan treated his eldest brother's family with courtesy. Yang Jinqiu originally planned to get close to his eldest sister-in-law in front of him and take the opportunity to show off. Maybe Zhang Quan would give her the position of outstanding teacher for Jiang Fuyue's sake?
Who knew Han Yunru was so tactless that she actually sabotaged the show in public!
Zhang Quan was not a fool. After hearing these words, he immediately had a new understanding of the relationship between this family.
Since Jiang Fuyue's mother has made it clear that she doesn't have such a good relationship with Yang Jinqiu, he doesn't need to consider the other party's face.
"Thank you for your hospitality today. It's getting late," Zhang Quan looked at his watch, "I'll take my leave now."
Yang Jinqiu's smile froze. "No, Director Zhang... Then, shall I take you out?"
Zhang Quan smiled and waved his hand: "Stay."
Before leaving, he specifically exchanged numbers with Jiang Da and his wife: "From now on, if Jiang Fuyue encounters any difficulties in life or finances, please call me anytime. The bureau is very concerned about her studies, so don't hesitate!"
After all the guests left, only this family was left.
Jiang Da stood up: "Mom, we are going back too."
"Brother..." Before the old lady could even begin to speak, Yang Jinqiu jumped out impatiently, "Don't be impatient. Our family has finally been reunited. How can you bear to leave like that?"
Jiang Da frowned, his eyes full of confusion.
I don’t seem to understand why my sister-in-law’s attitude has changed so much?
Han Yunru saw it all and understood it clearly: "Sister-in-law, just say whatever you want to say."
Yang Jinqiu's smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. "Sister-in-law, you know how difficult it is to be a middle school teacher these days. Every year, they fight tooth and nail for a few spots in the Innovation and Excellence Awards. Those with connections and backers get promoted effortlessly..."
"What do you want to say?" Han Yunru interrupted her.
Yang Jinqiu rolled his eyes. "Since Sister-in-law is so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush. Director Zhang is in charge of the annual evaluation. Can Sister-in-law help to mediate?"
"Sister-in-law, Director Zhang is your guest. If you want to help, it's definitely not my turn, right? Before this, we didn't even know each other."
Yang Jinqiu sensed the evasiveness in her words and his smile faded slightly. "Sister-in-law, you're being overly modest. Zhang Quan's attitude towards you and Big Brother, and towards me and Ah Hua, is clear to anyone with a discerning eye."
Han Yunru: "In their eyes, I'm just a student's parent at best. I don't have any say at all. I'm afraid I can't meet my sister-in-law's request."
"It's boring if my sister-in-law keeps making excuses like this. It's my fault that I don't have a daughter who can study and take exams." These words were more sour than a jar of pickles.
But Han Yunru never gave in.
Yang Jinqiu became anxious. Seeing that Han Yunru was not convinced, he turned around and tried to persuade Jiang Da.
Jiang Da avoided it, "I don't understand what evaluation is. You should talk to your sister-in-law. She is the one who makes the decisions in our family!"
Yang Jinqiu: “…”
Mrs. Jiang: "..."
Jiang Fuyue and Jiang Xiaodi looked at each other, and smiles appeared in their eyes.
"Second sister-in-law, I think you should just forget it." At this time, Liu Shuting suddenly said, "Eldest sister-in-law has already said she won't help you, is it really necessary to rush into it?"
Yang Jinqiu blushed and her cheeks turned red.
But she did not blame Liu Shuting for her harsh words, but instead blamed Han Yun for being so hard-hearted.
Suddenly, he sneered: "Sister-in-law is so arrogant! I will remember it!"
Han Yunru frowned, glanced at Liu Shuting, and said, "It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I don't have the ability to help."
"Eldest son's wife, after all, you have married into the Jiang family, and you and the second son's wife are one family." Old Mrs. Jiang, who had never spoken, finally regained her composure, raised her chin and looked at Han Yunru, as if she was giving a lecture by a leader.
"Since we are family, we should lend a hand if we can."
Yang Jinqiu looked at the old lady gratefully: "Mom is still the best and most considerate..."
While speaking, his eyes fell on Han Yunru's face. Now that your mother has come forward, let's see if you can still behave properly.
Jiang Fuyue frowned.
She felt that this family might have problems with their comprehension. She had made it very clear that she couldn't help, but they kept pestering her one by one.
Han Yunru's face remained gentle, "Mom, I really can't do anything."
The old lady's face immediately fell. "I don't think you can do it, but you don't want to! That's right, you've been monopolizing the boss all these years, instigating him to abandon even me, his biological mother. What else can't you do?!"
"Han, if I had known this would happen, I would have died trying to save you! Ever since the first time the eldest brother disobeyed me and argued with me, I had a feeling that you would disrupt this family! Sure enough, since you came, I can't even have a peaceful birthday!"
Han Yunru half lowered her head, stood there quietly, and said nothing.
"Mom!" Jiang Da couldn't bear it any longer. "It was me who insisted on marrying Aru, and you refused to agree, so we finally moved out. Later, you unilaterally cut off contact. We called home every holiday, but did you ever answer the phone?"
"Don't put everything on Aru! Yes, I'm not as promising as the second brother, nor as good at talking as the third brother. You can beat me and scold me, but I won't bear some unfounded accusations! Yueyue, Chenxing, let's go home--"
Jiang Da took Han Yunru's hand and walked with firm steps.
The brother and sister hurried to follow.
Suddenly, "Brother, don't leave so fast. I still have a debt to settle..."
