Chapter 34 34 Your childhood sweetheart is here!
When Yao Qiang came to his house, Ji Yushu was completely stunned. It was not until his fist landed on him that Ji Yushu began to resist: "Yao Qiang, what are you crazy about?"
At this time, Yao Qiang could no longer listen to anything. His mind was full of the fact that he had been laid off. You know, he was willing to continue working in such a tiring and hard workshop after being transferred there. That was because he had just found a girlfriend thanks to this job. If everything went well, the two families would have discussed engagement and marriage, but now everything was ruined.
Ji Yushu had been living a life of luxury for years, so naturally he was no match for the then-prime-born Yao Qiang. Ye Qiuju, concerned about her own stomach, didn't dare to intervene. By the time she found someone, Ji Yushu was lying on the ground, bruised and swollen, yelling at Yao Qiang, "Just wait, this isn't over yet."
"You also know that this matter is not over. Why didn't you think about what would happen today when you were playing tricks on me? You even ruined my job, so what should I be afraid of?" When Yao Qiang raised his fist and was about to swing it again, he was stopped by the people Ye Qiuju had brought.
Yao Qiang glanced at the disheveled man lying on the ground and spat in his face. "You got off easy today. From now on, I'll beat you up every time I see you."
Ji Yushu's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard his words. The two packs of cigarettes he bought yesterday were so effective that Section Chief Liao had fired him directly? But how did he know that this matter had anything to do with him?
"Brother Ji, are you okay?" After Yao Qiang left, Ye Qiuju hurriedly came up to him and asked with concern.
He grimaced in pain: "Do I look okay?" Then he looked at his new neighbor next to him: "Brother, could you please take me to the hospital?" Yao Qiang was so cruel that he felt like he was beaten to pieces.
The news of Ji Yushu's injury spread on the way to the hospital. At this time, Yao Qiang, who had beaten someone, did not go home directly, but went to the iron factory.
Yao Yan felt a little nervous at work today, so she simply asked for leave early to go home. When she saw Yao Qiang at the door, her heart skipped a beat. She then walked over and asked, "Qiangzi, shouldn't you be at work now? Why are you here?"
"Go to work? What kind of work? I was laid off." Yao Qiang's tone was full of anger.
"How could this happen?" Yao Yan had just finished speaking when she remembered the scene of the siblings colliding last night. She opened her mouth in surprise. How could Ji Yushu be so vicious? Did he know how important this job was to Qiangzi?
"I don't have a job now, and Lili's family will definitely not agree. Sister, please help me think of a solution." Yao Qiang has become accustomed to looking for Yao Yan when there is something wrong and asking her to solve it.
"Come in with me first. We'll go find him after dinner. I want to ask him what he means." Yao Yan suppressed the anger in her heart.
"No need to ask, I just beat him up. You should cook quickly, I'm hungry." Yao Qiang said as he touched his stomach.
"Okay, you go sit over there for a while." Yao Yan's mind was not idle while she was busy in the kitchen. This matter could not be let go like this. This work was related to Qiangzi's lifelong event.
At the hospital, Ji Yushu was examined and found to have three broken ribs, with the rest of his injuries being superficial. Ye Qiuju felt a pity that he probably wouldn't be able to go to Guangzhou to purchase supplies anytime soon. This delay would cost him a lot of money, but she gently asked, "Brother Ji, should we report this to the police?"
"Don't worry." He was in the wrong in this matter, but now he could take advantage of this injury to make Yao Qiang bleed a little. Even if he had no money, the third brother and his wife did. Ji Yushu had an idea in an instant.
"Are we just going to let it go like this?" Ye Qiuju was a little bit incredulous. This was not like his usual style.
"You go to the iron factory and tell the third brother's wife directly that we are going to report to the police and let her handle it herself." He knew how much the third brother's wife and her family cared about Yao Qiang, and he didn't believe that they would be willing to let him stay in jail.
Yao Yan obviously didn't expect Ye Qiuju to have the nerve to say this. He said coldly, "He deserves it. He used the backdoor to make Qiangzi lose his job. It's a good thing Qiangzi didn't beat him to death."
"Yao Yan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Do you have any evidence for what you said? Someone saw your Yao Qiang beating up Brother Ji. In that case, we can only report to the police." Ye Qiuju was not a pretty girl to begin with, she had just been pretending to be one. Now that their interests were involved, she naturally didn't want to pretend anymore.
"Mr. Third, what's going on? Your brother actually dared to hit Mr. Second. Don't forget how he got this job?" Chen Guilan also looked unhappy at this time. No matter how partial she was to their family, it was impossible for her to stand on Yao Qiang's side at this time.
"Mom, why don't you ask your good son what he did? If it weren't for him, how could Qiangzi be laid off? I tell you, if you don't solve Qiangzi's job problem, I will divorce Ji Yumo and take Wenwu back to my parents' home." Yao Yan threatened directly.
Ji Yumo, who had just returned at this time, was even more confused: "Wife, what happened? Why are you talking about divorce for no reason?"
"Ji Yumo, you coward, if you weren't such a coward, how could your second brother dare to do such a thing? I have been married to you for so many years, and I even gave birth to the only child of your Ji family. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. Is this how your family treats me?" Yao Yan started her old tricks again, crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang herself. For a while, the yard was very lively.
Yao Yan's behavior is not uncommon in the countryside. If Ye Qiuju hadn't been concerned about the baby in her belly, she would have gone to make trouble with her.
"Second sister-in-law, what Yao Yan said is true. Second brother is really going too far. Where is he now?" Ji Yumo usually pretended to be deaf and dumb. After all, Yao Yan had already stepped forward to fight for his interests, so he was naturally not needed. Therefore, the couple had been playing the good cop and the bad cop. But in all these years, this was the first time Yao Yan was so angry. He knew how much his family valued Yao Qiang, so he was already dissatisfied with Ji Yushu.
"You asked where he is. He had three broken ribs from the beating by your brother-in-law. He is now lying in the hospital. We thought that since we are all family, there is no need to trouble the police. Now it seems that we are overthinking it." Ye Qiuju snorted coldly and turned to leave. She had to go back and discuss it with Ji Yushu. The third brother and his wife did not seem willing to pay compensation. Judging from their behavior, they were planning to blackmail them.
Seeing Ye Qiuju leave, Yao Yan was panicked for a moment. She looked at Ji Yumo and frowned: "They are not really going to the Public Security Bureau, are they? Ji Yumo, I tell you, if he dares to report it to the police, you and I will be finished. Qiangzi, let's go home."
"Sister, what are you afraid of? If he dares to ask the police to arrest me, I will make him live in unrest for the rest of his life." Yao Qiang snorted coldly. Anyway, he is barefoot now and is not afraid of those who wear shoes.
Seeing the siblings leave immediately, Ji Yumo was really anxious this time. He looked at Chen Guilan and said, "Mom, please think of a solution quickly. You don't want to see this family break up, do you?"
"What a sin I have committed!" Chen Guilan said as she patted her thigh, then trotted out to chase Ye Qiuju. She first went to the second brother to see what was going on.
*
The Ji family's situation was a drama. Ji Yushu reportedly wanted to report the incident to the police, but the old couple stopped him. Yao Yan even took Ji Wenwu back to her parents' home and threatened that if they didn't find Yao Qiang a job, he would have to pay her with a wife. His girlfriend, who had been engaged to him, broke up with him immediately after hearing the news of his layoff.
Neither side was willing to compromise, and the old couple was so anxious that their heads were almost bald. Furthermore, Yao Yan's parents worked in a machinery factory, and this gossip, which spanned two factories, spread quickly. Even Ji Mingyue, who was at school, was not immune. Someone asked maliciously, "Ji Mingyue, I heard your parents want to give you away as a daughter-in-law?"
"That's not true. Stop talking nonsense." It was Wu Juyue who refuted for her again. Ji Mingyue lowered her eyes and said nothing. She guessed that such news was released by Yao Yan and the others. They were really shameless.
There are only four days of school this week before the National Day holiday. Today is the second day. Everyone is immersed in the tension of the upcoming monthly exams, while excitedly discussing the hottest gossip with people around them.
Although Jiang Lili didn't like Ji Mingyue, she couldn't help but frown when she heard such rumors. Who spread such a ridiculous news? Did the Yao family really have such plans?
"Lili, do you think the Yao family released this news on purpose to test the attitudes of your grandparents and your father?" Ke Sisi couldn't help but speculate. Although the legal age for marriage has been changed, in many places, girls still get married in their teens.
"It's possible. They are really disgusting." Jiang Lili's eyes were full of disgust.
"That's right. I don't know how to best solve this problem." Ke Sisi was a little curious.
Jiang Lili shook her head and said nothing. In her opinion, the spread of such rumors was due to Ji Yushu's lack of firmness. To put it bluntly, Yao Yan, relying on the support of the old couple, was not afraid of him. However, this matter had nothing to do with her. All she could think about was her two thousand yuan. Yesterday, Jiang Jianyi went to the first factory to sign the contract with Director Yang. If nothing unexpected happened, she would get the money today.
Speaking of which, the time to get the money is just right. National Day is just a few days away, and their family plans to go to the neighboring city, Jincheng, the provincial capital, to play for a few days. The two thousand yuan will be a travel fund.
"You seem to be in a good mood these two days. Did something good happen?" Ke Sisi asked casually.
"I guess so. I made a little money." Jiang Lili said, pointing her finger at her.
"Making money? Lili, you made money?" Ke Sisi said with a little excitement.
"Do you still remember the books I bought when we went to Xinhua Bookstore that day?" Jiang Lili asked.
"You mean the stories you bought are about friends, boys and girls?" Ke Sisi's tone was a little hesitant.
"Yes, there is a submission link under each book. I decided to give it a try." Jiang Lili didn't mind sharing this little secret of making money with her.
"Really? It's a pity I don't know how to do it?" Ke Sisi was happy for only two seconds, but soon she lost her spirits again.
"No one knows how to do it right from the start. Take your time. If you need to borrow a book, just let me know." Jiang Lili said.
"Okay." Ke Sisi nodded.
The school bell rang again. Compared to Jiang Lili's anticipation, Ji Mingyue had a blank expression. Because of Yao Qiang's matter, the atmosphere at home was very bad. Yao Yan threatened them with divorce, and Chen Guilan came to them every day, asking Ji Yushu to find a solution in her words. Whenever they objected, she would ask him why he wanted to get rid of Yao Qiang's job and make the family a mess.
For the first time, Ji Mingyue realized that Ji Yushu was also a foolish and filial son. Chen Guilan cried and made a scene in front of him, but he didn't insist on reporting it to the police. Now he was even persuaded to pay compensation to Yao Qiang. What a coward. She couldn't help but start to doubt the truth of Ye Qiuju's words. Could such a man really become the richest man?
"Mingyue, aren't you leaving yet?" Seeing her in a daze, Wu Juyue reached out and patted her shoulder. She quickly came back to her senses and nodded at her embarrassedly: "Let's go."
It was also a coincidence that they had just walked from the group corridor to the front podium, and the people in front of them happened to be Jiang Lili and Ke Sisi. When they were talking about the National Day holiday, their tone was full of joy.
Before the two of them could act up, the two in front of them had already strode towards the stairs. Wu Juyue carefully glanced at Ji Mingyue beside her: "Mingyue, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, let's go." Ji Mingyue shook her head. She couldn't help but wonder if her recent bad luck was related to the declining attack value above Zheng Gaoyang's head. No, she had to think of a way.
When Ji Mingyue returned, she was not surprised to see Chen Guilan. However, she did not expect Yao Qiang to be there, and in her room. She quickly picked up the broom from the corner and hit him: "Get out! Don't stay in my room!"
Yao Qiang's eyes fell on Ji Mingyue, and the look in his eyes, as if he were examining a commodity, made her feel very uncomfortable. She swung her broom at him again: "Get out, didn't you hear me?"
"Mingyue, what are you doing? This is our guest." In the past two days, Chen Guilan has stayed here taking advantage of this matter. What does she mean now?
"How dare a guest sneak into someone else's room? Only a thief would do that." Ji Mingyue said unhappily.
"She's quite hot-tempered, I like it." Yao Qiang touched his chin and nodded with satisfaction. He felt that his sister was absolutely right. Ji Yushu made him lose his job and his wife, so he asked them to compensate him with a wife.
Ji Mingyue suppressed her anger and went to the next room. Ye Qiuju was making soup for Ji Yushu at the moment. Seeing her rushing in with an angry look on her face, she couldn't help but ask, "Mingyue, what's wrong?"
"Mom, why is that guy here? Do you know what nonsense he said just now?" Ji Mingyue said as she looked at the two of them. If they had such thoughts, she would have to reconsider herself.
"What? Didn't your grandma say he came to apologize to your dad?" Ye Qiuju was a little confused.
"Don't pay attention to him. When I get better, I'll always find an opportunity to punish him." Ji Yushu said gritting his teeth.
"People are saying that you want to give me to him as a wife. I thought it was true, so I was a little scared when I saw him." Ji Mingyue said with tears falling down her face.
"How is it possible?" Ye Qiuju quickly shook her head. Ji Mingyue had already married once in her previous life, and she still remembered the resentment she had towards her before her death. Now that good days were coming for them, mother and daughter, how could she do such a thing?
Ji Yushu didn't say anything. He quickly had a guess in his mind. No wonder Chen Guilan came over these past two days. It turned out that this was her plan. He couldn't help but sneer. It seemed that in her heart, Yao Yan was more important than him, her own son. Thinking of this, he looked up and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will never allow such a thing to happen."
"Qiuju, it's time to eat. Hurry up and help the second child come out." Chen Guilan's voice came from outside.
The three of them exchanged glances, and then Ji Yushu stood up and slowly walked outside. In the yard, Yao Qiang had already taken the lead and sat at the table. His behavior didn't seem like someone who came to apologize as Chen Guilan had said. Ji Yushu pursed his lips and looked at Chen Guilan unhappily: "Mom, is this what you said about him coming to apologize? Does his attitude look like he's coming to apologize?"
Thinking of what she was going to say next, Chen Guilan spoke with some guilt: "Isn't Qiangzi waiting for you? He knows that he was impulsive last time, so he came here specially to apologize to you." As she said that, she gave Yao Qiang a look.
"Uncle Ji, I acted impulsively. I'm sorry. Can you please forgive me this time?" Yao Qiang said with a smile.
"You are Yao Yan's younger brother, so just follow her and call me second brother. Don't mess up the generations." Ji Yushu said with a cold face.
"My sister is my sister, and I am me. Actually, I am only a few years older than your Mingyue. Let's talk about our own things." Yao Qiang smiled happily.
"Yes, yes, we are all family." Chen Guilan tried to smooth things over.
"Who is related to his family? Were you the ones who spread the rumors outside? Are you still my grandmother? How can you ruin my reputation like this?" Knowing that Ji Yushu and Ye Qiuju were on her side, Ji Mingyue was too lazy to play along with them anymore.
"What are you talking about, kid? We are all family. Sooner or later, you will get married. Qiangzi at least knows everything about you. What's wrong with that?" Tang Yan said this with a guilty conscience. It was really because Yao Yan had been making a lot of trouble these days. In addition, she and herself analyzed that Ji Mingyue was already eighteen years old and had not grown up with Ji Yushu. Ji Yushu should not have any feelings for her. As long as she asked, he would definitely agree. The most important thing was that if they were willing, the Yao family would not pursue the matter this time and were willing to give a betrothal gift of five hundred yuan.
Ji Yuanping and Chen Guilan thought it made sense. After all, Ji Mingyue was already eighteen years old, and getting married was only a matter of time. This was also a way of keeping the benefits within the family.
"If you know everything about me, then just marry him yourself. Don't disgust me. Get out of here right now. If you don't, I will go to the Women's Federation and sue you for trying to kidnap me into an arranged marriage." Ji Mingyue snorted coldly after saying this.
"What arranged marriage? Am I not discussing this with you? Why does a girl need to study so much? You should get married at your age." Chen Guilan felt that her dignity as an elder was challenged, and she looked at Ji Mingyue with a cold face.
"Mom, go back. We can't agree to this. Don't you know Yao Qiang's character better than me? You know what kind of person he is, but you still say this. It's all my fault. I, your son, don't have any weight in your heart, and I have implicated the mother and daughter." Although he always knew that they were partial to the third brother and his wife, he didn't expect that she would be so partial to them as to sacrifice her own granddaughter to please Yao Yan.
"Ji Yushu, what's with your attitude? I'm just cleaning up your mess. If you hadn't caused Yao Qiang to lose his job, how could all these things have happened later?" Chen Guilan felt embarrassed when he accused her like this, and she couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Clean up this mess for me. He beat me like this. Because you cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang yourself, I chose not to report it to the police and kept things quiet. But I didn't expect you to go further and further. Mingyue, go to the police station and report the case now." Ji Yushu was completely disappointed with Chen Guilan this time. After saying this, he asked Ye Qiuju to help him back to the room. As for whether Yao Yan would divorce the third brother or make a scene at home after reporting it to the police, it had nothing to do with him.
"Second brother, how dare you!" Chen Guilan didn't expect that he would go back on his word.
"You all have your plan against me, why shouldn't I dare?" Ji Yushu said calmly.
"Don't forget who lent you money when you were short of money for your business." Chen Guilan thought about it and it seemed that this was the only thing that could control him.
"Don't worry, I will return it to you in full." This time, Ji Yushu decided not to compromise.
Yao Qiang saw that something was wrong and quickly said goodbye to Chen Guilan: "Aunt, I remembered that I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."
Looking at his back as he left, Ji Yushu snorted coldly, what a waste. He had come to his senses in the past two days. Yao Qiang's layoff was probably a long-standing decision. He found Section Chief Liao, and the other party accepted his things. Anyway, Yao Qiang's layoff was a foregone conclusion, and he really became the scapegoat this time.
"If the third brother and his wife get divorced because of this, I will never forgive you." After saying this, Chen Guilan glared at Ye Qiuju fiercely. It was all because of this vixen. Since the second brother married her, he has become more and more distant from them. He was obviously not like this before. At this moment, she began to remember all the good things about Jiang Yulan.
After Chen Guilan left, Ye Qiuju turned her head to look at Ji Yushu and asked hesitantly, "Do you really want to report to the police?" She remembered that in her previous life, he had bought a luxurious villa for the old couple and hired a nanny to take care of them. He had always been a foolishly filial person. Don't insist on reporting to the police now, and then blame them, mother and daughter.
"Mingyue has probably arrived at the police station by now." Ji Yushu said and nodded towards the place where Ji Mingyue had just stood.
*
"Sister Lili, you're back. Grandpa has a lot of money in his pocket." When Jiang Qitong saw the money in Jiang Jianyi's pocket, she began to stand guard at the door, determined to be the first to know the news.
"Good job, keep it up." Jiang Lili patted her shoulder and said with concern.
"Yes, Sister Lili." The little guy said while saluting her properly.
Before Jiang Lili could speak, Jiang Jianyi handed her the envelope containing the money: "Here, I just brought it back."
"Great, Grandpa, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Lili thought, it is true that the money you earn yourself makes you feel a sense of accomplishment.
"What's the hard work? Director Yang asked you when you can hand in the remaining drawings?" Although he said it vaguely, Jiang Jianyi still heard the urging in it, but he didn't tell Jiang Lili this.
"Before National Day." Jiang Lili also knew how important new products were to a factory on the verge of bankruptcy. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "Any news from Factory Two?"
"Not yet, but Director Wu seems to have been transferred to Factory 1. I saw him there today." Jiang Jianyi was also a little uncertain.
"Is that so?" It would be good news for them if Director Wu was transferred to Factory 1. This way, they would be the first to know the internal news of the toy factory.
"Why hasn't your mother come back yet?" Jiang Jianyi said as he glanced at the wall clock. Recently, Jiang Yulan has been coming back later and later.
"I don't know either. Let's ask later. Did something happen?" Jiang Lili's tone was more concerned.
"You're right." Jiang Jianyi nodded. When the family was about to eat, Jiang Yulan finally arrived.
She drank a glass of water before sitting down next to Jiang Lili. Before they could speak, she took the initiative to explain, "I ran into Luo Haiyan just after get off work. Don't her parents work at the iron factory? She kept dragging me to talk about the Ji family. Yao Qiang was laid off, and the Yao siblings believed it was Ji Yushu's fault. Yao Yan is at home, threatening to divorce me if I don't compensate Yao Qiang for his job."
"Although I don't know the specific reason, it's good for them to fight each other." Jiang Aiguo thought, this is the situation they are happy to see.
"There's even better news. Didn't they say before that Ji Yushu was beaten by Yao Qiang? I just heard from Luo Haiyan that three of his ribs were broken." At the end, Jiang Yulan laughed out loud.
"Only three. Yao Qiang looks so strong, but how come he is so useless? Only three were broken." Jiang Aiguo said with some regret.
"But Ji Yushu is really useless." Jiang Aiguo said and shook his head.
"The decision to lay off employees was made by the factory, so Ji Yushu has taken the blame." Jiang Jianyi smiled. For the Jiang family, they felt relieved to see Ji Yushu in trouble.
"Sister, how is night school going for you? Are you used to it?" Zhou Qingfen asked.
"It's okay, but I haven't studied for a long time, so sometimes I feel a little nervous." At the end, Jiang Yulan shook her head a little embarrassedly.
"It will take a few days to adapt. You don't have to worry about Lili. Just study hard." Jiang Aiguo remembered that she had good grades in school before. Now she is probably away from the classroom for too long, so it is normal for her to be nervous.
"Uncle, do you still remember what you said about us going to Jincheng during National Day?" Jiang Lili asked.
"Of course, I was planning to buy a ticket today. Do you have any objections?" Jiang Aiguo said, and his eyes swept over everyone at the table one by one.
"No problem. When we get to Jincheng, I'll treat you to a meal to celebrate me making my first fortune." While speaking, Jiang Lili did not forget to show them the envelope in her hand. There were two thousand yuan in it.
"Then I won't be polite then." Jiang Aiguo replied very flatteringly.
"Anything you want." Jiang Lili looked generous.
"Sister Lili, can I do it too?" Jiang Qitong raised her chubby little hand unwillingly.
"Of course." Jiang Lili nodded, and the little girl immediately cheered.
Jiang Yulan looked at them with a smile on her face as she spoke. She thought, there could never be a better day than this.
"Mom, will the Colonel be very tired?" It was finally time for the mother and daughter to chat alone.
"It's okay, not that hard." Jiang Yulan thought about it and realized that it was not as hard as when they had just given birth to Lili. Now she only needed to go to work every day and then go to class in the evening.
"I don't want you to work so hard." Jiang Lili didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Jiang Yulan had lost a lot of weight during this period.
"Every time I see you making progress, I also want to make progress. Besides, classes are not hard at all." Jiang Yulan held her hands and said seriously.
Jiang Lili divided the money in the envelope into two parts. She handed the other part to Jiang Yulan: "Mom, please keep this one for me first."
"Okay, I'll deposit all the money into your account once your ID card comes out." Jiang Yulan didn't refuse and planned to find a time tomorrow to deposit the money into her own name.
"Okay, I'll keep this thousand for buying gifts for everyone and for when I go to Jincheng." Jiang Lili explained her plan to her.
"You are already a big kid. I believe you can plan well. You don't have to tell me everything." Jiang Lili has been very organized in everything she does since she was a child, and she would make plans in advance, so Jiang Yulan trusted her very much.
"But I want to tell you." Maybe because of the fetal perforation, it was easy for Jiang Lili to act coquettishly to them.
Jiang Yulan's face really smiled a little more, and then she took the initiative to tell her about the night school: "Computer typing is really difficult. I stumbled when typing using pinyin. The teacher said it would be best to use Wuyi. She also gave us a table of Wubi radical formulas and asked us to memorize them when we got back."
Jiang Yulan's tone was a little distressed. As people get older, their memory is not so good.
Jiang Lili glanced at it and saw the first sentence "王旁青头兼五一" (Wuyi), and she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, thinking of the content of her computer class in elementary school. How could this not be considered a leap forward in time?
Jiang Yulan suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Jiang Lili, her tone filled with rare excitement: "Lili, why don't you study with me? By the way, does your school have computer classes?"
"Yes, one class every week." Jiang Lili nodded, but she hasn't taught them Wubi yet.
"Then come and learn with me. Computers will be a big trend in the future, so it's better to learn early. What do you think?" Jiang Yulan asked.
"Okay, I'll go with you when I'm free. Can I visit your school during my holidays?" Jiang Lili was a little curious.
"That should be possible, right? Let me ask when the time comes." Jiang Yulan's tone was also a little uncertain.
"No rush, just take your time to ask." I'm going to Jincheng for vacation this week, so I probably don't have time to go.
"Well, we're going to Jincheng in two days. Your uncle didn't say how long he'll stay there. Remember to ask him later so I can pack my luggage." Jiang Yulan talked to herself.
Jiang Lili fell asleep while listening. When she woke up, Jiang Yulan was gone. She got out of bed and stretched her limbs. She didn't wash her face until the last trace of sleepiness in her mind was driven away.
As the holiday approached, everyone seemed a little restless. Many students began to discuss their holiday plans. Ke Sisi was no exception: "Lili, what are you planning to do during the National Day holiday?"
"I should be going to Jincheng with my uncle and his family. What about you? Do you have any plans?" Jiang Lili asked politely.
"I don't know yet. It depends on my parents' arrangements." Ke Sisi shook her head. Everyone will have a holiday during the National Day holiday. Usually at this time, both families will have a party. Her holiday will probably be spent in such gatherings.
"It's still early anyway, so let's read the book first. I don't know if the teacher will highlight the key points today." Jiang Lili took out the textbook for the next class from the desk.
"I guess so." Highlighting key points is a traditional procedure before every exam.
"Then let's see how many I guess correctly." Jiang Lili took out her notebook with a smile on her face. On it were the key notes she had compiled.
"I think most of them have it." Ke Sisi had read her notes.
"I hope so." That way, she'd have more talents to predict when it came time for the college entrance exam. After all these years of studying, who wouldn't want to win first place in the exam? It was at this moment that she thought of Ji Mingyue again, wondering if her reputation as a leading actress would affect her monthly exam results. She subconsciously looked in Ji Mingyue's direction, only to find no one in her seat. She was a little surprised. Did she ask for leave?
"Did Ji Mingyue ask for leave?" she asked Ke Sisi beside her in a low voice.
"Well, she said something happened at home. I don't know the details. I happened to meet Wu Juyue when I came there and asked for leave for her." Ke Sisi only understood half of what she heard.
Jiang Lili thought of what was said at noon and guessed that it was probably related to Ji Yushu's broken ribs. She loved to show off anyway, and now that the real opportunity was in front of her, she had to perform well.
Sure enough, at the end of the class, the teacher started asking them to highlight key points and emphasized, "These are the contents of the monthly exam. If you can't do it on the exam, please stand at the back of the classroom."
"The teacher is so fierce." Ke Sisi muttered softly. Although she had marked the key points, there was a lot of content to mark. She should make good use of the time in the next few days to familiarize herself with it.
Jiang Lili smiled but said nothing. Comparing the key points highlighted by the teacher with her own arrangement, she found that they almost overlapped. She nodded with satisfaction. Well, it seems that the tuition fees paid in her previous life were not in vain.
Everyone's initial excitement for the holiday was extinguished after three different teachers highlighted key points. They were discussing whether it would be better to wait until after the exams to avoid the constant fear of a holiday. Jiang Lili's expression remained unchanged; this was considered a standard school practice, and she was used to it.
In the evening, after school, she took her organized notes home. As soon as the door opened, Jiang Qitong's little head popped out. After seeing her, she waved at her, indicating that she had something to say in private.
