Chapter 128 The whole family is stingy

Seeing her son Ruan Zhiguo's report card, Liu Mei felt even more troubled.

The score was exactly the same as last time, still over 100 points, not a single point more.

They both have the same surname, why is there such a big difference?

She said angrily: "What's wrong with you? You have studied for so long, why can't you pass the exam better than a wild girl!"

Ruan Zhiguo was scolded by the teacher at school, and now he has to be nagged by his mother when he comes back, and he immediately feels irritated.

"Her grades are so good, why don't you recognize her as your daughter? What's the point of raising me?"

After saying this coldly, she turned around and went into the house.

Liu Mei stomped her feet in anger, and her little bully was now a tiger's butt that could not be touched.

But she was even more dissatisfied that a wild girl like Ruan Fu could get such good grades.

She had to find a chance to ask around, maybe there was some secret.

...

Ruan's family in Lotus Village.

Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, Old Lady Ruan still hadn't given the dowry, and Ruan Lanxiang was getting anxious.

"Mom, didn't you say you had prepared good things for me? Why haven't you given them to me yet?"

Old Lady Ruan laughed, "Could mom lie to you? Just wait and see."

She trembled and moved the closet, revealing a hole in the back wall. She reached in and rummaged around, and her face changed immediately.

"It's over! When did the house get robbed?"

Ruan Lanxiang's face turned pale in an instant, "How is that possible!"

Then she reached over and picked up, but there was really nothing.

She was panicking now. Her dowry was stolen. What should she do when she got married?

She immediately beat her chest and stamped her feet, crying, "I can't get married now. It was agreed that I would bring the dowry. How will the Hu family look at me then?"

Mrs. Ruan was heartbroken. No outsiders had come to the house in the past few days, and the gate was usually closed. The only explanation was that there was a thief.

But there was no evidence at the moment. Since the man dared to steal, he would definitely deny it.

She thought about it and said with a sullen face, "Don't panic. Go and call your second brother to come to me."

Ruan Lanxiang did as she was told, crying.

Ruan Dahe came over drunkenly and said incoherently, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Old Lady Ruan stared at her and said in a sharp voice, "Dahe, let me ask you, Lanxiang is your sister, do you care about her?"

Ruan Dahe's heart sank, and he sobered up a lot.

"Mom, Lanxiang is my sister, how can I not care?"

Old Lady Ruan nodded, "I feel relieved when you said that. Your sister is going to get married soon, what do you and Hongxia have prepared for her dowry?"

It turned out that she wanted money.

Ruan Dahai stammered, "Mom, isn't all our money in your hands? Why are you asking me about it?"

Old Mrs. Ruan was not easy to fool. She bulged her eyes and shouted, "You heartless ungrateful bastard, don't think I don't know that you secretly hide your private money. If I hadn't had no other choice, would I have come to you for help? You and your wife are giving up now. Are you forcing me to die?"

Ruan Lanxiang fanned the flames, "Second brother, what are you doing? Are you really going to force mom to die?"

Ruan Dahai has always been filial and filial. He was scolded so badly that he felt ashamed and embarrassed. He just held his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Old Lady Ruan softened her tone again, "Dahe, you don't have a son anyway, so why save so much money? I don't have any other requests. Just give Lanxiang some dowry, and the matter will be settled."

After giving a slap, Old Lady Ruan gave a candy. This trick worked well on her second son, Ruan Dahe.

Especially the fact that she didn't have a son, once it was brought up, it was like strangling Ruan Dahe's lifeline.

Sure enough, Ruan Dahe, who was like a stick, immediately raised his head and said with red eyes, "Mom, don't be angry, I'll pay for it!"

Old Lady Ruan was satisfied.

...

Sun Hongxia didn't expect to keep the lost things a secret for long.

So when Ruan Lanxiang came to find her, she reacted immediately.

In the main hall, Mrs. Ruan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. "Second son's wife, have you been in my room these days?"

Sun Hongxia pretended not to understand and said in a panic, "Mom, I just wanted to say that there seemed to be a thief at home last night. Several clothes in my room are missing."

Sun Hongxia has always been good at stalking thieves, and her lies sounded like the truth.

When Mrs. Ruan heard this, she became suspicious. Could it be that she had wronged the other party?

But no matter whether the things were stolen by Sun Hongxia, the money must be owed to her.

"Put this aside first, I just want to ask you, Lanxiang is going to get married soon, how much money are you going to pay?"

Pay money? Aren't we talking about the thief at home now?

The other party did not play by the rules at all, and Sun Hongxia was stunned.

She forced a smile, "Mom, I don't have any money, you know that."

Old Mrs. Ruan was impatient and interrupted the other party fiercely, "Don't cry to me about being poor. Your daughter wears red and green every day, and I asked you to add some dowry to your sister-in-law. Why do you have so many opinions?"

How could she not have any opinions?

The family's food and drink are all provided by her family, and now she wants me to pay for it? Dream on!

Sun Hongxia's attitude was tough, "Anyway, I don't have any money, and if you want to blame someone, just blame your son for being incompetent."

Ruan Dahe next to him was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped her, "Say it again, I'll beat you to death!"

He was a man, and he couldn't even control his wife. How could he hold his head up in the future?

Old Lady Ruan was filled with hatred and fanned the flames, saying, "Dahe, hit her hard, and see if this bastard dares to talk back!"

As the slap was about to hit her face, Sun Hongxia suddenly remembered what the bastard had said before, how could she forget about Liu Mei.

In a hurry, she shouted, "Mom, I know a way to let Lanxiang marry in style."

What else could she do? The family had been emptied out, and she couldn't take out a penny.

Old Lady Ruan was so angry that she was about to faint again.

Sun Hongxia said quickly: "Someone who returned to the village a few days ago said that there is an Ah Mei noodle restaurant in the county town. I heard that my sister-in-law is working there. Why don't we go there tomorrow and ask her for money?"

Old Mrs. Ruan was skeptical. Why had she never heard of this before?

But seeing Sun Hongxia's serious face, it didn't seem like she was lying.

Could it be that Liu Mei is really doing well in the county town?

...

The Ruan family was in chaos, but Ruan Fu's life was going quite well.

The exam rankings came out, and she ranked tenth in the city, so of course she got a scholarship.

This is a city-wide competition, and the remaining finalists are all students from the city's No. 1 Middle School.

Ruan Fu alone has gained enough face for Yucai High School.

Principal Sun was praised at the meeting of the Municipal Education Bureau and was in a very good mood.

After coming back, she talked to the homeroom teacher, Ms. Wang, and told her to train Ruan Fu well, so that she could get into a good university next year and impress the other sister schools.

Ms. Wang felt a great sense of responsibility and nodded repeatedly. Before she had the chance to talk to Ruan Fu,

she came to her house on her own initiative.

"Mr. Wang, I want to take a two-week leave, and I have to apply for not attending evening self-study in the future."

What?

Ms. Wang couldn't believe her ears, and the words she wanted to say were choked in her throat.

Time is so precious for senior high school students. They have to count the seconds when they eat, and they wish they could spend the whole day studying.

But this girl asked for leave whenever she wanted, and she even skipped evening self-study.

If she really agreed, Principal Sun would scold her to death when he found out.

She said earnestly: "Student Ruan Fu, you did well in this exam, but you can't be proud. Studying in the third year of high school is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind."
