Chapter 136: Maybe the surname was stolen from my family
"Then we have a deal. We can finalize it today and give you the key."
A white-haired old lady said to Wen Zhu.
Wen Zhu nodded, "Okay, let's do as we just agreed. I'll pay one year's rent first."
As he said this, he counted the money and handed it to the old lady.
She took the money and counted it again before putting it in her pocket.
After handing the key to Wen Zhu, he was still a little hesitant, but finally asked, "Do you live alone in this yard?"
Wen Zhu looked at her, not understanding what she meant by this question.
Seeing Wen Zhu's confusion, the old lady immediately explained, "I didn't mean anything else. I was just worried that you, a little girl, living here alone, might have trouble finding help if something happened and you ran into some bad guys."
Wen Zhu briefly explained, "My parents and eldest brother will come over to live with us later. Thank you for your concern, grandma."
The old lady left only after hearing that her family was together.
After the handover, Wen Zhu checked what was missing, made a list, and went out to meet his mother.
After walking two streets for seven or eight minutes, we arrived at where my mother was setting up her stall.
The family planned to move from the town to the city, so they rented a small independent courtyard.
I came here today to finalize the house deal.
Although his father has a dormitory, he can only live in it. Because he has not worked for many years and has just returned to work, he is not eligible for a separate room.
Wen Zhu felt that it was better for the family to be together, so he simply rented a bigger house that was big enough for the whole family to live in.
Not only is it only a ten-minute walk from her school, but it's also not far from her father and her older brother's workplace.
In later times, this was the old city, a bustling area in the heart of the city. It was convenient for everything, and her mother's stall was nearby. However, the house was built earlier and looked a bit dated, not as beautiful as the new factory building.
In fact, Wen Zhu knew that this was the beginning of a house-building boom. People were now looking for something new and were scrambling to live in apartment buildings. In fact, if you want to talk about comfort, you still have to live in this kind of old courtyard.
Good privacy and spacious.
The independent courtyard appealed to Wen Zhu's living preferences, so even though the rent was more expensive than other buildings, she still chose to rent it. After all, she would be attending high school here and would be staying for several years.
Mom has already bought some things at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Seeing Wen Zhu coming, she quickly called her over to help watch things, and she continued to see if there was anything missing.
Wen Zhu walked over and handed Jiang Qin the list of missing items he had written.
"Mom, what you bought is almost the same as what I found missing after checking. You are worthy of being my mom. You know what to buy without even looking!"
Jiang Qin was happy to hear her daughter's praise.
"Mom, you haven't lived in vain at this age. It's not good for me to let my daughter worry about everything."
Then he handed Wen Zhu a book.
"Read some other books to kill time. Don't read those books from school every day. Give your brain a rest. Don't tire yourself out. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Jiang Qin walked quickly, moving back and forth between the counters.
Wen Zhu helped to look after the things, and when his elder brother and father got off work, they would take them back to the newly rented yard to clean up and move in today.
Wen Zhu was flipping through the storybook her mother had just given her. It was a bit old, but it was very representative of the era, and she was reading it with great interest.
Suddenly, an angry and shrill female voice sounded.
"Wen Zhu!"
Hearing someone calling him, Wen Zhu raised his eyes from the book and glanced lazily at the person opposite him.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
Oh, now he knows his real name. It seems the fool who was fooled has become smarter.
"Hello, you country bumpkins from the city? It's been so long since we last met, and yet you're still making so much noise. This isn't good, it really damages your image as country bumpkins."
When Wen Manman heard the word "bumpkin," dead memories attacked her, reminding her of the embarrassing moment. She clenched her fists and finally suppressed the urge to turn hostile.
Wu Xiaoyun, Zhang Lingling and Zhu Wenjun were not so patient and all glared at Wen Zhu.
Everyone is so angry that they want to die.
They had just been told by Manman that their previous excitement was in vain.
They thought this "Xu Niannian" was cheating in the competition, so they reported her! The organizing committee also reported that the person who was reported had been dealt with severely and her competition results had been cancelled!
The happiness didn't last for a few days. Who would have thought that the girl in front of him with a smile that made her look like she deserved a beating was not called Xu Niannian at all, but Wen Zhu!
They were deceived!
She is Wen Zhu, who won the special prize in the mathematics competition and ranked first in the city's high school entrance examination!
It was all reported in the newspapers, but if they hadn't seen the newspapers, they would still be kept in the dark.
She thought about how her group had called her a country bumpkin, but it turned out that she not only had excellent results in the competition, but was also very beautiful.
The little confidence they had as city dwellers was crushed in an instant.
His original arrogance turned into a joke. Especially when he knew that she had treated them as fools and said her name was Xu Niannian, his anger reached its peak.
So when they saw Wen Zhu here, they subconsciously shouted in anger.
"Wen Zhu, why did you lie to us and say your name is Xu Niannian? Do we look like fools?" Zhang Lingling was the first to lose her temper and asked loudly.
Wen Zhu nodded seriously. "Likely."
Then he pretended to pick his ears, quietly but loud enough for others to hear.
"Also, keep your voice down. I'm not deaf like you guys, I can hear what's said. So there's no need to yell so loudly. Don't you see that everyone is staring at you guys, like you're laughing at me?"
After saying this, he smiled and continued to flip through his book without looking angry at all.
Instead, it made the aggressive Wu Xiaoyun, Wen Manman, Zhang Lingling and Zhu Wenjun very angry.
However, Wen Manman is quite scheming, but it cannot be seen on her face.
But her clenched hands also revealed her anger.
After Wen Zhu finished speaking, he didn't bother to pay attention to the plague gods and started reading the story book by himself. It was quite interesting.
Wen Manman saw that her good sisters were all angry and could not say anything. She could only speak for herself.
"I even lent you the test paper before. How could you be so insincere and tell me a fake name?"
He said this with an extremely aggrieved look and lowered his head.
When several younger sisters saw this, they all comforted Wen Manman.
"Manman, ignore her. She's not worthy of our close friendship. She's uneducated!"
"Exactly. He doesn't even dare to say his own name, and he deliberately lies!"
Seeing someone speaking up for her, Wen Manman nodded helplessly.
Then I heard Wen Zhu's clear voice.
"I dare say my last name is Wen, Wen Zhu, but I'm afraid you, Wen Manman, will be embarrassed. After all, I was first in the city's junior high school entrance exam, and you didn't even make the top 100. I won the special prize in the math competition, and you didn't even make it to the finals. I was first in the city's high school entrance exam, and you didn't even know where I ranked.
Alas, who made me kindhearted? I'm afraid you'll feel inferior. Do you have the nerve to share my last name? Maybe you inherited your last name from my family!
