"Aunt Qiu Hong." Wang Mengmeng stood up and called out obediently. Although she had a falling out with Xia Zhipeng, she still had to give some face to her elders.
Judging from Wang Mengmeng's reaction, this person should be Xia Zhipeng's mother.
Unexpectedly, while she was still thinking about whether she had met Chen Yechu while eating, she met him now.
Qiu Hong nodded, walked over and saw the girl her son liked, and looked at Chen Yechu with scrutiny. Chen Yechu turned his head away, without even looking at her, and pulled Ning Xiyue next to him to talk.
The middle-aged woman was a little angry and rude, and when she saw Ning Xiyue wearing a flowery cotton-padded jacket, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Ning Xiyue saw it and tugged at her clothes.
Why don't you like this thick cotton-padded jacket that will never make you cold?
Do you have to wear that tweed coat to look noble?
Who doesn't have a woolen coat?
Ning Xiyue rolled her eyes at her.
The middle-aged woman frowned and turned to look at Wang Mengmeng and said:
"Mengmeng, you should go back with your auntie today. It's cold here, and the house, things, and people are all a bit...tsk. If you stay here for too long, you'll easily develop bad habits and get sick. Look, your brother Zhipeng is sick, and I'm so heartbroken."
The tone was so sarcastic that it made people feel uncomfortable.
When talking about people, he also glanced at Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu who were sitting next to him.
Ning Xiyue was not the type to be punched in the face. She stood up and was about to start a fight, but Wang Mengmeng got there before her.
The slightest hint of smile on Wang Mengmeng's face disappeared without a trace. She suppressed her unhappiness and spoke as calmly as possible.
"Auntie, you guys go back, don't worry about me, my parents and I have already agreed to go back in a few days.
Also, Auntie, I've been here for two years and I don't think there's anything bad about it. The scenery is beautiful, the people are great, and whether it's the members of the team or the comrades in our Youth League, everyone works hard and earns their own living."
Qiu Hong was refuted by a junior and looked unhappy.
"You little girl, you never listen to me. You used to be so cute. Now you're so sharp-tongued. I don't know who you learned this from. You've become such a bad person. Mengmeng, if you want to be my daughter-in-law, you must not have such a bad temper. You have to change it. When you go back, your aunt will teach you a lesson."
Wang Mengmeng was disgusted, as if she had eaten a fly. She said with disgust in her eyes, "Auntie, I don't want to be your daughter-in-law. Your son is not worthy of me. Please don't mention this matter. I regret it so much."
Hearing this, Qiu Hong lost her composure. How could her son not be worthy of him? It was not her turn as a little girl to despise him. She also did not believe that Wang Mengmeng, who had tried so hard to please her, would not like him. She just thought it was a roundabout tactic.
Said bluntly:
"Look at you now, you have no manners at all. My son is very good and more than enough for you. I don't know who came to my house every day to please me, wanting to be my daughter-in-law. Seeing how you are now, I have to think carefully."
Qiu Hong thought she had Wang Mengmeng under control, so she raised her head proudly, waiting for Wang Mengmeng to admit defeat and please her.
"Pah." Wang Mengmeng was so disgusted that she retched.
Ning Xiyue slid along Wang Mengmeng's back, her eyes lightly glancing at the person with the upturned nose: "Auntie, do you know why your Xia Zhipeng is sick? What's wrong with him?"
"Auntie, how would we know? We don't know much. We only know that a few days ago, most of the educated youth in our educated youth academy received university admission letters. Mengmeng even got into Peking University. Only a few didn't get one. Xia Zhipeng fell ill after returning."
Chen Yechu and Ning Xiyue were talking in unison, and seeing Qiu Hong's unnatural expression, they continued.
"Oh, by the way, Auntie, Xia Zhipeng is the only one in that small group."
Chen Yechu comforted her earnestly:
"Auntie, you have to go back and comfort Comrade Xia. Tell him not to worry. Five of our students from the Youth Academy were admitted to Hua University, three to Peking University, four to national key universities, and two to provincial key universities. Even though he didn't get in, he has us as his classmates who went to the countryside. It's a great honor to tell others about it."
When Liu Yao was about to speak, she slapped her thigh and screamed again.
"I see. The day before yesterday, Comrade Xia Zhipeng became ill after he found out that all the members of his team who scored a few points less than him had received their notices. Could this be the reason that aggravated his condition?"
"That's right. As the team's barefoot doctor, I went to check on Comrade Xia. I found that he didn't have any serious illness. He was just angry and upset. He was upset and depressed, so he couldn't cheer up."
Ning Xiyue put on a doctor's demeanor and said seriously:
"Auntie, you have to go back and persuade Comrade Xia to be more open-minded. You parents should also be more open-minded and learn to accept that you are not as good as others. Don't lift your chin and nose every day. The nose hairs in your nostrils will come out.
I can tell from the snot in your nose that you have a serious internal heat. You need to go back and cool down. Remember to be low-key, otherwise you will be the next one to fall down. You are old, and it is not easy to recover from falling down. Hey, I am also kind-hearted and I can't bear to see an old man fall down."
"That's right, Auntie. You're already old, so just sit back and relax. Don't make any noise. Otherwise, if it falls over, you'll blame our Youth Home for being unclean. You don't know that the dirtiest person in our Youth Home is definitely your son, covered in feces. Hey, as she was saying..."
Chen Yetu hesitated to speak here, shaking his head, fanning his nose with one hand, frowning, and looking full of disgust.
If she wanted to piss off the old woman who had tortured her in her previous life, she knew exactly what to do. What the old woman cared about most was her precious son, who had gained weight, and her reputation. If she was told that her son had stepped on her reputation, the old woman would be so angry that her blood pressure would soar.
“You, you guys…”
Qiu Hong's face looked extremely ugly. She was so angry at the concerted actions of several people that her face turned pale and blue. She pointed with trembling fingers and was unable to speak.
Just as she was about to go up and hit someone, her hands were clamped. Yu Zhiyu and Ning Qingyuan grabbed her hands from the left and right and pushed them aside.
Yu Zhiyu said seriously, "Talk nicely and don't touch me."
"Don't you see where we are? You're hitting people. I'm afraid your family won't be able to leave. If you're disrespectful to the elderly, don't blame us for disrespecting the elderly." Ning Qingyuan clenched his fists as if he was going to hit her.
When Qiu Hong saw the two tall and strong men, she didn't dare to say a word. She glared at them hatefully and ran to the room where her son was in shame.
When he returned home and saw his son lying on the kang, he felt very disappointed. However, he couldn't take his anger out on his son, so he took it out on his nephews and nieces who came with them.
He kicked the door in a rage, scaring the two people who were packing their things in the room to tremble, and then shouted at them angrily:
"Are you two slacking off? Have you already fed the dog? Hurry up, you're so slow even packing up, how can you possibly accomplish anything?"
