Yu Qiang's eyes flashed with malice: "Women, once you find a way to sleep with them, they're mine, aren't they? She's from a small town, and she dares to make a scene after losing her virginity?"
He grinned lewdly: "If we sleep together a couple more times, her belly will get big. What can two old people with no children do?"
Mother Tian's heart leaped into her throat: "You don't mean to eat the childless one...!"
Yu Qiang licked his lips, as if savoring the tender fragrance of Ning Yuan when he first saw her: "Mom, I know what I'm doing, you just need to help me."
Mother Tian was still worried: "Qiang, I heard she has a cousin who's the head instructor, what if..."
"Can a cousin really control his cousin? Besides, military training is about to end, and all the instructors are leaving." Yu Qiang smiled slyly; he had already planned this out.
Mother Tian gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll listen to you. Consider the 150 yuan those two old bastards swindled from us last time as a dowry for their granddaughter!"
Auntie Tian was still upset that so much money had been taken away by those two old folks downstairs. She wondered how many pan-fried buns she would have to sell!
Suddenly, someone behind him sneered, "You've got a good plan."
Tian's mother and Yu Qiang were startled and turned to look at the door.
Mother Tim then realized that she hadn't locked the door properly, and the door was being pushed open.
Damn it!
Upon seeing the newcomer, Yu Qiang was startled and broke out in a cold sweat: "You...you...how much did you hear?!"
Ms. Tian panicked and couldn't say a word. Images of the criminals being arrested she had seen in the police station flashed through her mind.
The other party sneered contemptuously: "I heard everything, I heard how you and your son planned to viciously scheme against people."
Yu Qiang gritted his teeth and sneered, "Hmph, you have no evidence, what do you want!"
What can the other party do if he doesn't admit it?
…………………
Time flies, and the end of military training is fast approaching. All freshmen participated in the inspection.
Ning Yuan's class performed poorly in the military parade this time because they spent most of their time practicing combat techniques rather than formation drills.
However, their performance at the review ceremony, where they were truly one-on-one with the boys' class, earned them a standing ovation.
As she finished the last movement, Ning Yuan, as a model student, stood on the playground, wiping away her sweat, looking at the bright October autumn sun in the sky, and smiling radiantly.
Her university life had a wonderful start!
That's right... happy and troublesome things often come in pairs.
Ning Zhuliu and Ning Jinyun actually took half a month off. Her military training was over, and they still had ten days before they could go back.
I don't know why the factory and the clinic would allow them to take such a long leave.
No matter how big or beautiful Fuxing University's campus is, Ning Zhuliu and Ning Jinyun got tired of exploring it a few days ago, and they couldn't stay at Fuxing University forever without going out.
As the only daughter, Ning Yuan seemed to be the most suitable person to take them out of Fudan University and travel around Shanghai.
But Ning Yuan had no such intention; she casually placed thirty yuan on the table—
"Dad, I'm sorry, I've only been at Fudan University for two months. I haven't left the campus yet and I'm not familiar with Shanghai. I've been busy since I started, so I won't go shopping with you."
Ningzhu left her thirty-six yuan, and she returned thirty to him, keeping six yuan as a token of her adoptive father's appreciation.
She wouldn't give more, lest people think she's rich and can be "leeched off".
Before Ning Zhuliu could say anything, Ning Jinyun had already snatched the thirty yuan and sneered—
"What do you mean you're too busy to host us since you just started school? Aren't you just afraid to spend money on us? You have money to dress yourself up, but no money to give us anything. You ungrateful wretch!"
While putting away the thirty yuan, Ning Jinyun looked at Ning Yuan's white diatomaceous earth shirt with shell buttons and red pleated plaid skirt with envy.
This is what that little slut wears; even her own daughter, Ning Meimei, has never worn a stylish dress!
Ning Yuan ignored her completely and said to Ning Zhuliu, "Brother Tang is a local from Shanghai. He knows a lot about Shanghai. Why don't you go with him and treat him to a meal in return?"
Ning Zhuliu looked at Ning Yuan with a sad and complicated expression: "You've still distanced yourself from Dad."
Ning Yuan smiled and said, "Dad, don't overthink it. I'm going to class now."
She didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
Ning Zhuliu's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he watched Ning Yuan's retreating figure.
He turned and gave Ning Jinyun a cold look: "Give me the money, or you'll regret it."
Ning Jinyun froze, but still reluctantly took out thirty yuan.
Two days later, Ning Yuan received a dark blue floral dress made of polyester fabric, which Ning Zhuliu and Ning Jinyun gave her after their trip to Shanghai.
Fudan University faculty and staff dormitory
"I really don't know what you adoptive parents are up to!" Grandma Xia said, wiping her mouth as she looked at the long-sleeved autumn dress with some disdain.
The material is nice, but the style looks like something a 40 or 50-year-old would wear. It's too old-fashioned for a young girl!
Ning Yuan helped Old Tang clear the dishes and shrugged: "I guess my adoptive father wanted to buy me a dress, but he didn't know how to choose, so he let Ning Jinyun choose, and she deliberately chose one that she was old enough to wear."
"She figured you wouldn't want it, so she could take it and wear it. What a weirdo!" Grandma Xia became increasingly disgusted with the other person's stupidity.
Ning Yuan nodded decisively: "That's right, but I didn't let her succeed!"
Thinking of the resentful and annoyed look in Ning Jinyun's eyes when she simply accepted the dress, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Even if I don't wear it and give it away, it won't please Ning Jinyun!
Grandpa Tang shook his head: "Xiao Ning, just bear with it a little longer. As long as they don't cause any trouble these next few days, they'll be fine once they go back to your hometown."
Ning Yuan nodded obediently: "I know, Grandpa."
She and Rong Zhaonan shared the same thought, hoping they wouldn't cause any more trouble and could maintain a semblance of peace.
After dinner, it was only six o'clock. The sun was hanging in the west, and the sky was filled with colorful clouds.
The wind was already a bit chilly. In the south, the seasons don't change until early November, and every household took advantage of Sunday to air out their quilts on the rooftop.
Ning Yuan went upstairs to help Grandpa Tang and Grandma Xia put away their quilts. From a distance, she could see that the instructors had already packed their things and were getting into the car to leave the school.
As she tiptoed to gather the blankets, she looked at the olive green in the distance and couldn't help but smile.
With her sharp eyes, she could spot the figure of Xiu Tiao, who was standing at the front directing people to board the vehicle, from afar.
It's strange, everyone's wearing the same military uniform, yet she was able to spot Boss Rong at first glance...
Clutching her blanket, humming a little tune, she hurried downstairs.
They had made an appointment. After he picked out the people and got in the car, she would go to the playground to meet him. Now that he was gone, she didn't know when they would be able to meet again!
Ning Yuan felt a little disappointed.
The hallway was not lit yet, and the dim, yellowish walls were covered with messy drawings that some kid had scratched with a key.
When Ning Yuan came down to the second floor, she was carrying two quilts and two pillows. She couldn't see that the door on the right side of the second floor was suddenly opened with a "thump".
She was knocked off her feet by the door and almost dropped the blanket and pillow she was holding.
She instinctively reached for the blanket, annoyed: "You guys..."
The next moment, four hands suddenly reached out and roughly dragged her into a room on the second floor.
"Bang!" The other party slammed the iron gate shut.
