Zhang Liqun nodded in satisfaction. His daughter was still the same obedient and well-behaved daughter; she hadn't gone astray.
"What's wrong with Zhao Yunyun? Our Xiaoxiao is such a well-behaved girl, yet she's talking badly about our daughter in front of us. What good will this do her if we misunderstand?"
Wu Yumei now harbors strong resentment towards the Zhao family and no longer elevates Zhao Yunyun or belittles her daughter as she used to.
No matter how you look at it, my own daughter is still the best.
Xiao Li said nonchalantly, "She's just envious that I have such good parents, and jealous that I'm prettier than her."
Wu Yumei chuckled, "Look at you, so narcissistic. Who praises themselves like that?"
Zhang Liqun said, "My daughter is right, she is prettier than her."
The family chatted for a while longer, then escorted Xiaoli to her dormitory before heading home.
"Old Zhang, Xiaoxiao said that Yunyun plays games all day and is also having an online romance. This is not good. I should talk to Yufang about it tomorrow."
Zhang Liqun responded casually as he drove.
"You'd better not meddle in other people's business. Your own children should be taken care of by themselves. I'm afraid you'll only get the short end of the stick if you speak up."
Wu Yumei lost her mood at the thought of Zhao Yunyun calling to complain. Well, she figured she should just keep her own daughter in check.
The two put that matter aside and started talking about other things.
But Wu Yumei didn't expect that while she was ignoring the Zhao family's affairs, the Zhao family would start spreading rumors about the Zhang family.
The whole neighborhood was talking about the daughters of the Zhao and Zhang families, with everyone commenting and gossiping enthusiastically.
"If you ask me, Zhao's daughter is the most capable. She should focus on her studies in college. Why bother with all that useless stuff? Finding a good job in the future is more important than anything else."
"Who can argue with that? The Zhang family's daughter has been beautiful since she was little, and loving beauty is in her nature. As she grew up, she became more unruly."
"If you dress like that now, what will you be like when you enter society?"
"Maybe she's already being kept by a sugar daddy. Isn't that what's popular now? Hahaha..."
"That's right, that bracelet isn't cheap. How could the Zhang family possibly buy her something so expensive?"
"It must be... Ouch!"
Before he could finish speaking, he was punched. When he turned around, he saw that it was Zhang Liqun.
"What do you mean 'definitely'? Are you two even speaking human language? How can you have the nerve to make fun of a little girl?"
"Why did you hit me? We didn't do anything wrong."
Zhang Liqun glared at her, "Which eye of yours saw that? You're just spouting nonsense. We went to the school to see my daughter last night, and it's not like what you're saying at all."
The man stubbornly refused to admit defeat, saying, "The Zhao family's daughter and your daughter go to the same school, how could they be wrong?"
Zhang Liqun grabbed him and headed towards the Zhao family's house. Since the other people were women, he couldn't lay a hand on them, so he just held onto this man tightly.
He didn't sleep well last night, so he didn't go to work today because he wanted to go out for some fresh air. He didn't expect to hear these words, which made him furious.
"Zhao Youde, come out here."
Zhao Youde didn't go to work today either. He chatted with some people while buying groceries in the morning, but he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. He's feeling guilty.
"What's wrong, Lao Zhang? What happened?"
Zhao Youde looked at the huge crowd and was a little confused.
"Zhao Youde, you should tell everyone what's wrong with my daughter at school."
Zhao Youde was a bit timid; it wasn't appropriate to say this in front of the other person's parents.
Then, recalling her daughter's resolute tone, she felt confident again. "Your daughter can do it, but you won't let anyone else criticize her?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the little girl likes to dress up, which is normal, but the things she bought were a bit too expensive."
Zhang Liqun was even angrier. They dared to say such things to his face; who knows what they were saying behind his back.
"Bullshit! My daughter may be beautiful, but she is extremely virtuous. She earned all that herself."
Zhang Liqun recounted the story of the design drawings, and everyone finally understood that Zhang's daughter had earned a thousand yuan by drawing the design drawings herself, and also received a valuable bracelet as a bonus.
Everyone immediately became envious. She's beautiful, and she can earn her own money while in college. It's rare to find a girl like that.
Zhao Youde objected, "Of course you think your own daughter is good, but can you really believe what she says?"
Zhang Liqun never expected that his friend of many years would turn out to be this kind of person.
"Zhao Youde, I can't trust my own daughter, but I can trust yours? Your daughter plays games at school all day. You should take care of her before you start gossiping about my family."
Zhao Youde immediately jumped up and said, "You're talking nonsense! My Yunyun is the best girl, she would never play games."
Although he spoke firmly, he was actually a little panicked. His daughter had recently asked for money to buy a computer, and the expenses had increased considerably. Could it be true?
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. But if I ever hear you gossiping about my daughter again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After Zhang Liqun finished speaking, he didn't look at him and walked away on his own.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Everyone believed Zhang Liqun for daring to come to the Zhao family to refute the rumors, after all, it was obvious to all that Zhang's daughter had been well-behaved since childhood.
Some clever people had already thought to themselves: the Zhao family is not to be trifled with. They even gossip about their longtime friends. What kind of good people could they be?
Zhang Liqun returned home, still not satisfied, and called Xiaoli again to give her some instructions before he felt a little relieved.
Xiao Li obediently agreed, and her roommates teased her for being a good girl, which she accepted without hesitation.
Xiaoli has been thinking lately about what part-time jobs she can do to earn a living and ease the burden on her family.
Zhang's parents both work in a factory. Although they own a house and a car, these were passed down from their ancestors. They are just ordinary office workers who have not saved much money over the years to support their daughter's education.
Therefore, the two of them are very frugal and usually can't bear to buy clothes.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to take a tutoring job? I have an aunt who is looking for a tutor recently. Her youngest son is in the third year of junior high school. You have good grades, so you can definitely do it."
Xiao Li looked at Jiang Xinying. Her family background was extraordinary, and her aunt must also be from a wealthy family. Her salary must be quite satisfactory.
Tell me about it.
Jiang Xinying became interested. "It's like this, her youngest son is a bit naughty, and he even tricked his tutor away."
However, I think you can definitely handle it. Most importantly, it's 300 yuan an hour, which is quite a high salary for a tutor.
After witnessing Xiaoli carrying water by hand during the last water outage, everyone realized that Xiaoli's strength was extraordinary.
Xiao Li was relieved to hear that the student was a middle school student; she was good at dealing with little brats.
"I answered. Give me your phone number. I'll treat you to milk tea when I get paid."
"I want three cups, make them for me."
"no problem!"
Xiaoli thought the milk tea shop near the school gate didn't taste good, so she bought the ingredients and made it herself a few times.
Her roommates' taste buds have been won over by her milk tea, and now they always prepare the ingredients and ask Xiaoli to make it for them.
Xiao Li also enjoyed it; it was actually quite interesting.
They got the phone number the next day, and the two made an appointment to have two classes a week, on weekends, for two hours each time.
