Chapter 195 You should hold on to your iron rice bowl
Song Ying glanced over: What's wrong?
Dongzhe curled his lips and patted his book.
Song Ying gave another look: Go back.
Dongzhe: Okay.
The three of them entered their own yard, listening with their ears open.
Dongzhe explained with his hands dancing:
"I didn't know how to answer a question, so I thought I'd ask Sister Shanshan. She didn't even start talking before we spread out the paper. We hadn't even finished drawing the triangles on the diagram. Aunt Zhang said it gave her a headache, and then she exploded and started scolding Sister Shanshan. I quickly ran away."
As soon as Song Ying raised her chin, Dongzhe went back to the house obediently. He thought that he could only go to Brother Tuanan to discuss the problem tomorrow. He absolutely didn't dare to go to the Wu family because it was too scary.
"Zhang A'mei is really crazy now! What kind of person is this!" Song Ying was very angry.
Lin Gong advised her: "Forget it, it's not worth getting angry with her. Just tell Dongzhe not to ask Shanshan in the future."
As he was speaking, he heard Zhang A-mei's angry curse:
"Don't you see what time it is? Everyone else is going to bed! People will think your mom didn't teach you that as a girl, don't you have any sense of shame?"
Just as Mr. Lin was about to pull Song Ying, Song Ying had already slipped through his fingers smoothly.
"Sister Zhang, you ate shit today and didn't rinse your mouth, right? Come on, come on, if you have the guts, just tell me directly! What's the point of hiding and cursing in there? Come on, come out and tell me what's going on!"
Zhang A-mei didn't come out, but continued in the room: "I didn't say anything about you. I was teaching my own child, why are you butting in?"
There was already a head on the wall next door, standing on a stool and watching them quarrel.
"What time is it now? Half past seven! Why are you so impatient? Get ready for bed at half past seven!" Song Ying shouted loudly, and everyone around her heard it.
"This is the first time I've heard of a mother telling her daughter not to explain homework to her younger brother, who she's watched grow up, at 7 o'clock. This is the first time I've heard of a mother calling her daughter shameless!"
"Do you know how to write the word 'integrity'? Just use it!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, never come back after 7:30! Otherwise, I'll write the words 'shameless' on your front door! And all the female neighbors working the night shift, listen up! A-mei Zhang is calling you shameless!"
Song Ying spoke one sentence after another, and Zhang A-mei had no power to fight back.
"I didn't say anything about you, Lin Dongzhe!" She walked out the door and added.
"You were speaking so loudly just now, weren't you just saying it to me? I was listening! Can you handle this? When you couldn't sell your eggs, you came to me and begged me, saying we were all neighbors and they would go bad if we didn't sell them. You acted like a jerk back then! Now you're blaming me for asking my child a question. I'm afraid I've been too lenient with you!"
"If you want to break up with me, then be careful when you pass by this gate next time. I'll be serving you footbath water every day! I'm afraid of you!"
"You curse me every day, as if you're afraid that others don't know you're a stepmother! Wu Jianguo, you're a coward! Softie! Coward, you can't even protect your own children, what kind of father are you! You're not even a human being! You bastard!" Song Ying cursed louder and louder.
After she stopped talking, Mr. Lin pulled her back. Before he closed the gate, he saw Zhang Min passing by.
"Sister Zhang, come here, someone comes home at 7:40. Let me see how you educate them. If you don't teach them a lesson today, I'll paint the words 'propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame' on your door. You'll learn what they mean!"
Zhang A'mei pulled Zhang Min into the yard and slammed the door shut.
She pinched Zhang Min and asked, "Where have you been? You came back at such a late hour."
"I have a tutoring appointment with a classmate." Zhang Min replied calmly.
"Tutoring! You, you, take out the questions and let me see them! Tell me what you did and who did it. I will go to the teacher to ask tomorrow." Zhang A'mei was shaking with anger.
"Mom, stop making trouble. You don't understand. Let me tell you, can you remember? We don't have to go through the teacher for tutoring. It's spontaneous." Zhang Min didn't buy her at all. She turned around, went into the house and lay down on the bed.
"Zhang Min! Come out!" Zhang A'mei called at the door.
Zhang Min pulled the quilt over her head and ignored her.
Zhang A-mei had no choice but to come out and kick Wu Jianguo who was sitting on the chair.
Wu Jianguo groaned, neither talking back nor fighting back. He just rubbed his legs and fanned himself harder.
"What use is there for me if you don't even help me?"
"You too, kid, I'm here to ask you a question. Why are you chasing people away? Don't you know that you should leave a way out for others?" Wu Jianguo sighed and said in a deep voice.
When Zhang A-mei heard that he was not on her side, she punched Wu Jianguo a few more times.
Wu Jianguo accepted it silently. He knew that Zhang A-mei was anxious about the application process.
She wanted Zhang Min to go to a technical secondary school so that after graduation she could get a job in the factory without having to wait in line. If she went to a vocational high school, she would have to wait in line again, and it was unknown when that would be. If Wu Jun was admitted to a technical secondary school in the textile system at that time, then it was very likely that this spot in the factory would be lost.
Although Wu Jianguo promised again and again, she was still worried!
But the most important thing is that Zhang Min is not up to the task! When she reached the graduating class, her spirit became more and more distracted, and her grades became worse and worse.
A neighbor had previously told her secretly that he saw Zhang Min shopping with a boy and asked her if Zhang Min was dating someone.
Now it seems that Zhang Min may only be safe if she applies to a vocational high school.
Wu Shanshan refused to participate in any discussion with her parents about this matter. No matter what they said, it was as if her ears had a switch, and she would turn it off and start studying.
After the book was snatched away and the lights were turned off, she went over the contents of the book in her mind.
This attitude made Zhang A-mei even more crazy.
Just as Zhang A-mei was about to take her anger out on Wu Jianguo, Wu Shanshan came out and said to them, "Stop arguing. I'm going to apply for a secondary normal school."
Zhang A-mei thought she had misheard and asked again: "What?"
"I told you I'm going to a technical secondary school, stop arguing."
Wu Jianguo looked at Wu Shanshan.
Wu Shanshan looked at him as if he were a stranger, and this look made Wu Jianguo feel nervous.
"Are you satisfied? Can you live like this? In the future, Xiaojun will go to a vocational high school to learn how to repair cars, and then go to work in a car repair shop. He won't use dad's quota." Wu Shanshan added.
The two stopped talking.
Wu Shanshan glanced at them and went back to her room.
Zhang Min heard the conversation and said to Wu Shanshan, "Let me make this clear. Don't say it's because I didn't make it to high school or college. I didn't say I had to take over. It was my parents' decision."
"Oh, I won't argue with you because there's no need. I look down on you. Just hold on to your stable job. Standing for ten hours a day, with your hands covered in blisters, is fine."
Zhang Min frowned.
