Zhao Xingye talked to Ma Xiu Lan for a long time, but seeing that Ma Xiu Lan was unmoved, she rejected his suggestion of moving to Longyang Street to live with her.
She walked away angrily: "I've been admitted to university, now you can ask me for help." If she doesn't ask me for help, I won't let her take advantage of me.
Ma Xiulan rolled her eyes. It was strange that she could get any benefit from him. Seeing Zhao Xingmin coming out, she walked straight towards him and asked anxiously, "Why did you come out so late?"
Zhao Xingmin's eyes were red, and he lowered his head awkwardly. "I heard a few people gossiping about me behind my back, and I argued with them for a few words."
It had clearly been clarified at the entrance of the examination room, but some people were still only willing to choose what they wanted to believe. She then realized that just because a rumor was clarified, it didn't mean it had no impact.
"Who? I'm going to rip their mouths off."
Zhao Xingmin quickly hugged Ma Xiulan's arm: "Mom, it's okay, I've already scolded them, and you're tired all day, let's go back and rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, he sneezed loudly.
"A-choo!"
Seeing her like this, Ma Xiulan remembered that she had washed her face with cold water before the exam to calm her down, so she quickly pulled her home.
"Then let's go back quickly before we get cold."
After returning home and making ginger soup for Zhao Xingmin, Ma Xiulan pondered and asked:
"Your fourth brother said you cried in the exam room?"
Zhao Xingmin's eyes widened as he quickly denied it:
"No, I had a runny nose, and when I wiped it, someone mistook it for crying."
Seeing that Zhao Xingmin was in good condition, Ma Xiulan asked, "How did you do on the exam?"
Zhao Xingmin smiled and said, "I think it's not bad. I know most of the questions on the test, and I filled in the one or two questions I don't know. I should at least give me some points for my hard work."
"Also, Mom, thank you for being so open-minded and letting me decide my own wedding."
Ma Xiu Lan gave a mechanical smile. It seemed that Zhang Jianxun was still useful. It just depended on how she could stop him in the future.
Zhang Jianxun's mother doesn't like Xingmin. It is obvious that Zhang Jianxun is also a filial son, otherwise why would he stand in front of his mother and let her beat him when she was beating him?
You can't jump into this fire pit.
At night, Zhao Xingmin still had a fever. After the exam, his tense mood relaxed, and coupled with the big mood swings during the day, he also caught a cold.
Ma Xiulan gave her fever-reducing medicine and slept beside her to watch over her.
Zhao Xingmin felt that his mother was doing very well now. Zhou Anan also missed her father when she saw this. She had been without a mother since she was a child, and every time she was sick, her father would sit by her bedside and accompany her all night.
She said to Zhao Xingguo, "Let's go back to the village after the test results come out."
Zhao Xingguo nodded: "Of course I should, I miss Dad too."
He didn't want to go back to the village that had been the place where he had lived a painful life for several years, but there were people there that An An cared about, so he had to accompany An An back.
-Zhang Jianxun's home-
Lu Wenying went home and told Zhang Jianxun's father what happened. Her original intention was to get Zhang Jianxun's father to stand on the same side with her. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jianxun's father slapped her in the face and scolded her harshly.
No matter how much he hated the girl, he couldn't hit her in public. It would bring shame to his family. After all, he was a workshop director and was in charge of dozens of workers.
How could his wife be a shrew?
Lu Wenying appeared to be meek and admitted her fault, but secretly she was even angrier: "I'm just so angry, you don't know, that girl even caused Jianxun to be suspended."
Zhang Jianxun's father's eyes darkened. "Then educate him behind closed doors. Bring me the whip."
His son, whom he had high hopes for, could not be careless in his marriage. He had married Lu Wenying, who came from an average family, just because of her looks. Now he has been stuck in the position of workshop director for more than ten years. Seeing people who are not as good as him getting promoted one by one, he realized how important it is to marry a woman who can help a man's career.
Zhang Jianxun had just returned when he heard his father shout, "Kneel down!"
Zhang Jianxun looked at the family rules in his father's hand and frowned: "Dad, domestic violence is wrong. Everyone is equal and free. If you have any questions, let's talk it over."
In the eyes of Zhang Jianxun's father, all this means that his son has grown up and become more independent.
"It's only natural for a father to beat his son."
Then he whipped her with a whip and said, "I'll make you addicted to women. You'll be seduced and suspended from your job, ruining your future."
Seeing her son being beaten, Lu Wenying rushed over and said, "His father, don't hit the child. Being suspended can still be remedied. As long as you give him a powerful Yue family, he can be remedied."
Zhang Jianxun was confused: "Who said I was suspended?"
Lu Wenying was surprised, and then spilled the beans what Zhang Guojie's mother had said that morning: he and Zhao Xingmin were kissing and kissing in your police station, and they were suspended from their jobs.
"I even asked one of your younger colleagues why you weren't at work, and he said the case you were working on had been temporarily transferred."
Zhang Jianxun slapped his head and explained with a sad face: "I was not suspended, and I did not have any intimate relationship with Zhao Xingmin. How dare I do such a thing in the workplace? Comforting the victim is also one of my jobs."
"The captain only told me not to follow up on this case because he was afraid that Zhang Guojie's mother would make trouble. I've taken a day off today. I'll be on patrol as usual tomorrow and then take on another case."
Lu Wenying was stunned for a moment. It turned out that she had misunderstood.
Zhang Jianxun's father has already blamed her:
"Look at you, you can't even figure out such a small matter. You've caused a rift between us father and son. And today you're making a scene. What a bad influence on my son's work. Go and bring some more gifts to that girl tomorrow."
