Chapter 130 Two Eighteen-Year-Old Fish
"Brother, Brother Xiaoyun has stolen grandma to their home again. Second Aunt called and said she will take care of grandma for a month, and asked us to go to her home to play when we miss grandma."
The girl in the white dress hung up the phone with a snap. Her eyes widened with anger, but she also looked particularly lively and bright.
This is eighteen-year-old Zhao Chenyue.
"Don't be angry."
The boy sitting at the desk held a medical book as thick as a brick in his hand. Even when he lowered his head to read, he sat upright with his back straight. His slender fingers slowly turned the pages. He also took this opportunity to relax his eyes and comforted his impatient sister in a gentle voice: "We will soon take the college entrance examination. Grandma can't be at ease with our parents taking care of us. In less than three days, she will bring my second aunt and Brother Xiaoyun to our house together."
After saying that, the boy raised his hand and slowly rubbed his slightly dry nose and eye sockets, then picked up the red maple leaf given by his sister and put it between the pages of the book. This was the bookmark he had been using recently.
This is also an eighteen-year-old star.
Hearing her brother say this, Zhao Chenyue's eyes, which were already as bright as stars, suddenly became even brighter. She picked up the phone that she had just dropped and hung up, and wiped it clean with her sleeve. Then she put her hands on her waist and raised her chin proudly, laughing like a villain: "That's right! We are the treasures of the whole family now! Grandma will not be willing to miss our college entrance examination. Second Aunt and Brother Xiaoyun must have never thought that they would not only fail to steal Grandma, but also have to throw themselves into it!!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and my father's voice quickly came through the door:
"Xingxing, how is your reading going?"
While waiting for his son's answer, Zhao Guozhi, as if he had the ability to read minds or see through things, mentioned his daughter: "Little Moon, don't stay in there and disturb your brother from reading."
Zhao Chenyue retorted unconvincedly: "I didn't disturb my brother from reading. I was reviewing the key test points with him!"
Zhao Guozhi sneered through the door and exposed her: "Zhao Chenyue, your brother had already marked the key points of knowledge for you eight hundred years ago. Even the two fish you raised should have memorized them after reading them for so long. But what about you? Do you remember that your book is now in my and your mother's room and has never been flipped through?"
Zhao Chenyue: “…”
Oh no, I was called by my full name.
Hearing the sinister murderous intent in his father's tone, Zhao Chenyue shrank his neck, immediately leaned beside his brother's desk, picked up a medical book, opened it and began to pretend to be an expert.
Xingxing also saved her sister from danger in time.
He put the book down, stood up and opened the door.
Zhao Chenyue sat down in his seat and felt as if he was dizzy for a moment.
Are these messy and densely packed things really Chinese characters? Why can she recognize them individually, but become so unfamiliar when put together?
As expected, she is more suitable for books with pictures, preferably airplane models or aerospace concepts...
The moment Zhao Guozhi opened the door, his sharp eyes with a hint of murderous intent passed through his son and accurately locked onto his daughter.
Xingxing moved sideways to block her father's sight for her sister, her hand still on the door handle, and asked gently, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Generally speaking, when he is reading, except for Xiaoyueliang, no one in the family would easily knock on the door to disturb him.
Zhao Guozhi failed to threaten his daughter, and happened to need a favor from his son, so he had to let the girl go temporarily.
"I just received a batch of medicinal herbs. They are all of good quality, but I'm not sure if they are fake. Can you help me check them out, and then..."
He paused, and then said calmly: "Zhao Yuanyuan came to the provincial capital. She called me this morning and said that she was not safe alone and wanted to live in our house while she was looking for a job. What do you and Xiaoyue think?"
Upon hearing this, Xingxing, who had long since lost the ability to hear human voices, was stunned for a moment.
His excellent memory did not allow him to forget his grandfather's family, with whom he had almost lost contact, but it took him a second to find the last time he saw Zhao Yuanyuan from his memory.
She was still wearing her brother's patched clothes. In the crowd, she stood awkwardly and quietly in the corner, with no sense of existence.
But the reason why Xingxing remembered her was because the glances she occasionally cast on herself and Little Moon were always filled with resentment and unwillingness, and malicious jealousy.
The kind of surging hatred that wanted to replace herself and Xiaoyueliang, or to crush them completely, if it weren't for the command that she had engraved in her soul with her supernatural powers, perhaps she would have looked for opportunities to attack them again and again.
"No, no~" Qiuqiu flew to Zhao Guozhi's shoulder and corrected him, "Boy, it's not that she didn't do it, she just didn't do it to you."
She took action against Zhao Huayang. In that hot summer when her grades were completely unable to pass the college entrance examination, she went to get Zhao Huayang's admission letter, tore it into pieces and threw them into the wild pond in the village.
She attacked Zhao Guodong. When Zhao Guodong asked her to find a partner and get married earlier, she lit a fire while everyone was asleep, almost trapping Zhao Guodong to death in the house. Later, even though he was rescued by Zhao Huayang, Zhao Guodong's leg was broken by a beam and he completely lost his voice in the family.
The only person she didn't do anything to was Liu Cuifang. Instead, she was treated like a dog by Liu Cuifang every time, and allowed Liu Cuifang to beat, scold and yell at her, because her soul had been tamed by "Liu Cuifang" with the same face and identity in her previous life.
She resented her mother's preference for boys over girls, but her resentment would not hurt her mother in the slightest. It would only make her more and more humble and crave even the slightest favor from her.
In that family, the person she hated the most was Liu Cuifang, but the person she feared the most was also Liu Cuifang.
All her desperate courage was instantly shattered by just one curse from Liu Cuifang.
She was powerless, so she could only divert the hostility.
Therefore, her brother who was favored by Liu Cuifang and her father who could influence all of Liu Cuifang's decisions, both became "obstacles" to her obtaining maternal love.
She was only half successful.
Zhao Huayang did not lose the opportunity to go to college. Instead, she completely recognized her sister and distanced herself from her, severing their family ties with distance. Even during the holidays, she would only send letters and make phone calls home and never went back.
At home in the countryside, every time Zhao Yuanyuan was beaten and scolded by her mother, she would turn around and beat and scold her father who had a broken leg.
She had long since gone from being a protagonist with a golden finger to a pool of rotten mud.
And now, she was forced to get married by her mother, and she finally took the first step to escape.
She wanted to come to the city to find a job, and by the way... try to figure out whether she could live in Yaoba's house, so that maybe she could become a part of Yaoba's family, and become a precious child who was loved and enjoyed wealth and glory like the stars and the moon.
So, she just didn't do anything to the family of five.
But she will instinctively calculate, weigh the pros and cons, and do her best to snatch or destroy everything that she can hardly have.
This has nothing to do with gender, age, era or identity. Her soul is riddled with holes. Even if her memory is wiped out, her instinctive selfishness will drive her madly to do most of the seemingly vicious but actually crazy gambling behaviors.
Her desires are insatiable. Her soul has long been raised by her family in her previous life into a greedy evil spirit that demands insatiable and can never be satisfied.
“I don’t agree!!”
Zhao Chenyue suddenly put down the book that made her dizzy, stood up and protested: "Dad, I don't want her to come to our house!!"
She still remembers the scene of her elder brother Zhao Huayang walking from the station to her house in the rain, kneeling at the door in a disheveled and desperate manner, begging her father to think of a solution for him, crying and saying that he wanted to go to college.
"My brother and I are about to take the college entrance examination. Dad, you wouldn't be so foolish as to bring Zhao Yuanyuan to our house just to cause trouble for my brother and me, right?!" Zhao Chenyue strode over impatiently, stood beside her brother, and said angrily, "Anyway, if she comes to our house, my brother and I will move out!"
As they were talking, Xie Jiaxiu, who was preparing for the special teacher exam next door, also stood up and walked out, saying calmly: "Xiao Yueliang, don't be anxious, listen to what your father says first."
What he meant was that Zhao Guozhi should express his stance first.
Zhao Guozhi coughed dryly and said awkwardly, "Well... I didn't bring the person back, I just sent him back."
Family: “……?”
Again, what was sent back?
Zhao Guozhi scratched his head. He pretended to be stupid even though he had bad intentions. He confessed honestly, "I heard from my eldest brother that Zhao Yuanyuan stole all the money in the family and ran away. This is not a big deal. He is my eldest brother after all. If he really has no money, wouldn't it make our mother upset? Mom is almost 80 years old. I want her to live a long life. So before Zhao Yuanyuan could do anything, I sent someone to send her back."
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether the person comes back or not. What matters is the money stolen by Zhao Yuanyuan.
But the money has been taken back, so what’s the point of keeping the people?
So Zhao Guozhi fooled Zhao Yuanyuan, who had just got off the bus, into getting on another bus, saying that he had arranged a job for her. In fact... he took a detour and went back to the county town.
He has already called his elder brother and sister-in-law, and he guessed that his elder sister-in-law is now waiting at the county station to pick up her daughter.
Thinking of the good things he had done, Zhao Guozhi felt as refreshed as eating a bite of ice watermelon on a hot day.
The whole family fell into silence.
Zhao Chenyue suppressed her temper, shrank back to her brother's desk and continued "reading".
Xingxing glanced at the time on her wrist and nodded, "Since everything is fine, let's go check out the batch of herbs with Dad."
Xie Jiaxiu pushed up her glasses and smiled, "Don't forget to bring some supplements to visit Master and his wife. They are old now and they suffered so much in the past. They must take good care of their bodies."
Zhao Guozhi also smiled and raised his hand to salute: "Got it, my wife, I promise to complete the task assigned by Teacher Xie!"
Turning his head, he saw his daughter sitting restlessly behind the desk with a book in her hand. His eyebrows jumped and he immediately changed his expression and yelled, "Zhao! Chen! Yue! You even held the book upside down, why don't you go back to your own study room and review it properly?!"
Zhao Chenyue: ...
Oh no, he’s calling me by my full name again. If I don’t behave myself, I’m going to get into trouble today.
But compared to memorizing, she would rather stay close to her brother and be his little follower.
After all, as long as her brother is around, not only her parents, but even the whole world cannot bully her by bypassing her brother.
Unfortunately, the two little fishes had to swim hard from the small wild pond to the vast sea that belonged to them.
The sea is big, but fortunately all the little fish have the same home.
They will never lose each other.
