Chapter 65: I Didn’t Offend You
When Qin Yanlin returned to the shop, the children had already gone to school, some people were buying things in the store, and Deng Xiuzhen was busy as usual.
"Go to work. Come back and talk to me if you have anything to say." After seeing Tan Yanlin, Deng Xiuzhen said this and went back to her busy work.
Thinking that it was already past working hours, Qin Yanlin agreed and turned away.
When Chen Xueling saw Tan Yanlin leaving, she secretly looked at Deng Xiuzhen, thinking about how to get closer to Deng Xiuzhen and prevent her from hating her.
She was really worried that Deng Xiuzhen would spread rumors and then Director Tian would make trouble for her.
It was too easy for a police station chief to target an ordinary businesswoman like her.
What's more, she has done a lot of bad things and said a lot of slanderous words.
She felt guilty, especially guilty, and so guilty that she felt anxious.
But she looked again and again and couldn't find any chance to talk to her. Deng Xiuzhen was always busy, either doing business, sorting goods or cleaning, and she didn't even look in her direction.
"Xiuzhen!" Yao Huaying ran in and called affectionately.
Deng Xiuzhen looked back, said nothing, and turned back to continue cleaning the cabinets. She didn't want to pay attention to Yao Huaying.
It is said that a close neighbor is better than a distant relative, and the relationship between neighbors must be good. But this does not include those neighbors who are not only stupid but also bad. She does not want to associate with people like Yao Huaying.
"Hey, Xiuzhen, why don't you pay attention to me?" Yao Huaying said, pushing Deng Xiuzhen.
"Why should I care about you?" Deng Xiuzhen turned around and said coldly.
"Why are you like this? I haven't offended you." Yao Huaying looked aggrieved.
"You didn't offend me? What did you say in front of so many people? Do you know what kind of misunderstanding it will cause? How it will ruin people's reputation?" Deng Xiuzhen asked angrily.
"What did I say? I just asked, 'You don't have a husband, so who is the man who often comes to you at night?' How did I offend you? I didn't know he was your husband. Besides, it was made clear in the end, and you didn't lose anything."
"You! Okay, you're not wrong, it's my fault, but I don't want to see you, and I don't want to go with you, okay? Please go out, okay?" Deng Xiuzhen laughed in anger. She didn't want to argue with such an idiot.
"I didn't expect you to be such a person! Who do you think you are? Should I rush to be your friend? Pah! Pah pah pah pah!" Yao Huaying went back spitting all the way.
Deng Xiuzhen's expression remained unchanged and she continued to wipe the counter.
However, Chen Xueling knew that Deng Xiuzhen was angry because she wiped the counter with noticeably greater force.
She felt the opportunity had come.
"Hey, Deng Xiuzhen, are you okay?" Chen Xueling walked over and asked with concern.
"Are you okay? What's wrong?" Deng Xiuzhen turned around and looked at Chen Xueling. There was no anger, surprise, unhappiness, or disgust on her face.
"Oh, that's good." Chen Xueling said and walked back. She didn't dare to say more. She knew that people who don't show their emotions are not without emotions, but they are good at hiding them. This kind of people is the most difficult to deal with.
"Thank you!" Chen Xueling was startled by the sudden voice of thank you from behind. She turned around and saw Deng Xiuzhen looking at her with a smile.
She said quickly, "You're welcome, you're welcome. I hope you don't mind. If I've offended you, please forgive me!"
"Okay," Deng Xiuzhen replied with a simple "Okay" and turned around to get busy. She didn't like Chen Xueling, and even despised her, but she couldn't offend two neighbors at the same time.
She knew that Chen Xueling was different from Yao Huaying. Although Chen Xueling looked big-mouthed, she was actually very cunning and was purely evil.
If she offended these two people at the same time and forced them into one camp to deal with her, she would not be afraid, but there was no need.
But she couldn't let Chen Xueling think that she didn't understand and that she was easy to bully. So she only replied with a word "good" to let Chen Xueling know that she forgave her this time, but she also had a temper, so please don't do this again, otherwise...
Chen Xueling was stunned again, but as Deng Xiuzhen expected, she understood what Deng Xiuzhen meant: Deng Xiuzhen forgave her, and the crisis was resolved. She heaved a long sigh of relief and felt relieved.
When Tan Yanlin came back in the evening, the family did not talk about Li Qiumei and the others anymore. After dinner, they shared their daily life. As usual, Deng Xiuzhen took the children back to Chenjiawan, and Tan Yanlin stayed in the store.
Time passed regularly, and summer vacation came in the blink of an eye.
When the children were on holiday, Deng Xiuzhen thought of an important event: Wenjing had graduated from elementary school and was about to go to junior high school.
In her previous life, she bought a house on Fengcheng Road, and her children were assigned to go to a primary school or a middle school.
But if I buy a house here in this life, my child can go to No. 3 Primary School, but not No. 3 Middle School, because No. 3 Middle School is not a regular middle school, and if his child wants to go to a regular middle school, he will probably have to be assigned to No. 2 Middle School.
No. 2 Middle School is so far away, and junior high school students have to go to self-study in the morning and evening. It is not only unsafe, but also takes a lot of time to travel, and children will have very little sleep.
No, Wenjing must go to No. 1 Middle School!
But how can I get into No. 1 Middle School? It is impossible without help. If I look for help, I have no acquaintances and no connections.
I went out to see Mr. Zhao's house, but the door was still shut. I really don't know where Mr. Zhao has been. It's been almost half a year, and he hasn't come back. There's no news or communication from him. It would be nice if I could call him and ask.
Deng Xiuzhen suddenly felt that she really should install a telephone.
"Xiuzhen, are you not busy today?" Zhao Chunyan interrupted Deng Xiuzhen's thoughts.
"Not busy. Teacher Zhao came back earlier than usual today." Deng Xiuzhen replied.
"We have final exams these two days and don't have many classes. Hey, what are you thinking about while standing here in a daze?" Zhao Chunyan asked as she opened the door.
"It's all about the child's education. My daughter will be going to junior high school in the second half of the year. I'm afraid she will be assigned to No. 2 Middle School, which is so far away. Oh, I'm worried."
"Do you want your child to go to No. 1 Middle School?" Zhao Chunyan stopped what she was doing and asked.
"Yes, No. 1 Middle School is much closer. But our area is not within the reach of No. 1 Middle School, our children are not outstanding, and we don't know any of the teachers there. It's difficult." Deng Xiuzhen frowned.
"I'll ask for you tomorrow. What's your child's name?"
"Ah?" Deng Xiuzhen was stunned. She just treated Zhao Chunyan as a friend and talked to her, and never thought of bothering her.
"I know a few teachers at No. 1 Middle School. If you tell me your child's name, maybe I can help."
"I, I, I really didn't mean that, I--" Deng Xiuzhen was extremely embarrassed and awkward. She really just told her friend about her depression and didn't intend to trouble Zhao Chunyan.
This made it seem like she was playing tricks or schemes.
"If you don't tell me, I won't care about it anymore," Zhao Chunyan said with a smile.
"Tell me, my child's name is Wenjing, Qin Wenjing. Please help me ask them. I will thank them when it's done." Deng Xiuzhen replied quickly.
"We live next door, so please help if you can. Don't thank me. I'll go ask tomorrow and get back to you with the news." Zhao Chunyan said as she went into the house.
