Chapter 72 The Hope of Her Entire Compound
Jiang Tang looked down and saw that it was a fried dough stick and two eggs, which together made up 100 points.
Jiang Tang hadn't seen such an ancient way since leaving his student days.
Eggs are very expensive these days and it is not easy for every family.
Jiang Tang wanted to return the egg, but Zhao Xiumei stuffed it into her hand.
Zhao Xiumei said cheerfully, "Little Jiang, don't feel embarrassed. I gave you an egg."
Wang Chunlan interrupted, "I also contributed an egg."
Another sister-in-law said, "I made the fried dough sticks myself."
Wow, she has suddenly become the hope of the entire compound.
Jiang Tang accepted the kindness of his sisters-in-law. "Sisters-in-law, don't worry. I will study hard in the exam and bring honor to our compound."
Chao Chao and Yue Yue looked at Jiang Tang, who was surrounded by her sisters-in-law, and exclaimed, "Wow... Mom is so amazing."
Chao Chao said, "When I go to school, I will study as hard as my mother and I will be as good as her."
Yueyue nodded, "Yes, brother is right!"
The sisters-in-law escorted Jiang Tang out of the compound. As Jiang Tang was walking out, she suddenly remembered...
"Where's Huang Yiyi? Why can't I see Huang Yiyi?"
In Jiang Tang's mind, the highlight of today's competitive exam lies in Huang Yiyi.
Zhao Xiumei replied, "Before we went to your house, we went to Huang Yiyi's house first. Huang Yiyi's mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, said that Huang Yiyi had left home early in the morning. I guess she was afraid that Mrs. Li would affect her, so she went to prepare in advance."
The sisters-in-law did not show favoritism and also prepared "two eggs and a fried dough stick" for Huang Yiyi. However, since Huang Yiyi was not there, these things would only be eaten by Mrs. Li and would never reach Huang Yiyi, so they did not mention this matter.
Jiang Tang listened to the answers of his sisters-in-law and didn't think there was anything wrong.
She finally gave Chao Chao and Yue Yue a few words of advice, "You must listen to Aunt Zhao. Mommy is going to do something very important and will be back before lunch."
"Mom, we know."
Zhao Xiumei said, "Little Jiang, don't worry. Your two children are so well-behaved. It's not hard for me to take care of them. They can even play with Erya and Sanya. Don't worry."
Jiang Tang thanked him several times, then turned and left.
As she walked...she always felt that something was wrong.
Today's competitive exam is so important to Huang Yiyi. Given Huang Yiyi's personality, would she go to the exam site alone? Why not come and join her?
It was Huang Yiyi's mother-in-law who said that Huang Yiyi had already gone out.
You know, it was this old woman who ruined Huang Yiyi's life.
Jiang Tang thought about it carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more strange it seemed to her. No! She had to go and see it in person!
Jiang Tang, who was originally walking forward, suddenly turned around and walked back into the courtyard. He looked flustered and walked hurriedly, as if he had something urgent to do.
Zhao Xiumei saw it and quickly asked, "Xiao Jiang, what happened to you? Did you forget to bring anything? Or is there something wrong at home?"
"I need to go to Huang Yiyi's house." Jiang Tang walked forward anxiously, so fast that Zhao Xiumei and the others couldn't catch up. But after a few steps, she realized what was happening and quickly asked, "Sister Zhao, where is Huang Yiyi's house?"
Jiang Tang had only been here a short time and hadn't gotten to know the compound well yet.
Zhao Xiumei immediately led the way, wondering, "Why do we have to go to Huang Yiyi's house? Huang Yiyi has already left early this morning."
Jiang Tang lowered his voice and said, "I need to take a look before I can feel at ease."
She couldn't say directly that she didn't believe what Mrs. Li said, but she would feel more at ease if she went to take a look.
After a while, everyone arrived at Huang Yiyi's family quarters.
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom.
Jiang Tang knocked hard on the door, "Huang Yiyi, Huang Yiyi, are you home?"
"Why are you knocking so hard? You're trying to call back souls."
A gruff voice of a man in his fifties or sixties came from inside the house, and then Mrs. Li opened the door.
Mrs. Li first saw Jiang Tang standing in the front. She had never really met Jiang Tang, but recently the whole compound was full of rumors about Jiang Tang, saying that Captain Fu’s military lover was young, beautiful, and literate.
Scholars always have a different aura, just like her daughter-in-law Huang Yiyi.
In addition, Jiang Tang had an extremely fair face, so Mrs. Li recognized Jiang Tang's identity at a glance.
"So it's you..."
Mrs. Li looked at Jiang Tang with contempt and cursed her a thousand times in her heart, because it was this woman who instigated Huang Yiyi, making Huang Yiyi restless and unwilling to stay at home to give birth to the baby, but to go out and show off.
Mrs. Li didn't like Jiang Tang, but because of Fu Sinian's status, she didn't dare to say anything unpleasant to Jiang Tang, so she looked at other people.
"Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you that Huang Yiyi went out early this morning? She treated that exam you mentioned like a treasure and left a long time ago. Don't bother me anymore!"
After saying these words, Mrs. Li reached out to close the door.
Bang!
Jiang Tang raised his hand and blocked the door, preventing Mrs. Li from closing it easily.
Mrs. Li used her strength several times, thinking that Jiang Tang was just a weak and fragile young lady. How could she be as strong as her? She could close the door whenever she wanted.
However--
With Jiang Tang blocking the door, no matter how hard Mrs. Li tried, she couldn't close it.
"You...you..." How could she have so much strength!
"I want to see Huang Yiyi!"
Jiang Tang had already seen the guilty conscience on Li Po's face. She was certain that Li Po must be lying, so her expression became serious and she stared at Li Po with sharp eyes.
Mrs. Li's heart trembled when she saw Jiang Tang looking at her. She was actually shocked by this young girl.
She said viciously, "Who are you? This is my home! You said you wanted to see Huang Yiyi, so you have to see Huang Yiyi? I said Huang Yiyi went out early in the morning, how would I know where she is now? You want to see her go out to find someone, why are you looking for me? Don't think that just because your man is Captain Fu, you can act tyrannically in the compound. I am not afraid of you!"
After saying that, Mrs. Li pretended to spit at Jiang Tang, forcing Jiang Tang to take a step back.
Mrs. Li snorted and slammed the door shut again.
Jiang Tang stared at the closed door with a look of surprise.
Zhao Xiumei advised, "Little Jiang, although Mrs. Li isn't a very good person, Chief He knows that Huang Yiyi is taking the exam. Even if she has ten guts, she wouldn't dare to fool anyone about this. You should leave quickly, or you'll be late."
Jiang Tang still stood there, his eyes fixed on the door. He closed his eyes slightly and pricked up his ears to listen.
