Chapter 128 The whole family is stingy
Liu Mei felt even more overwhelmed when she saw her son Ruan Zhiguo’s report card.
The score is exactly the same as last time, still over 100 points, not a single point more.
We both have the surname Ruan, so why is there such a big difference?
"What's wrong with you? You've studied for so long, but you still can't pass the exam better than a wild girl!"
Ruan Zhiguo was scolded by his teacher at school, and now he was being nagged by his mother when he came home, which made him feel irritated.
"She has such good grades, why don't you recognize her as your daughter? Why do you support me?"
He said this coldly and turned around and went into the house.
Liu Mei was so angry that she stomped her feet. Her little bully was now a tiger that could not be touched.
But she felt even more dissatisfied that a wild girl like Ruan Fu could get such good grades.
I have to find a chance to ask around, maybe there is some secret.
…
The Ruan family in Lotus Village.
As the wedding date was approaching and Old Mrs. Ruan had not given the dowry yet, Ruan Lanxiang became a little anxious.
"Mom, didn't you say you had prepared something good for me? Why haven't you given it to me yet?"
Old Mrs. Ruan laughed and said, "Is it possible that Mom would lie to you again? Just wait and see."
She tremblingly moved the wardrobe away, revealing a hole in the wall behind it. She reached in and rummaged around, and her face suddenly changed.
"It's over! When did our house get robbed?"
Ruan Lanxiang's face turned pale instantly, "How is this possible!"
Then I reached out and fished in, but there was nothing inside.
Now I am in a panic. My dowry has been stolen. What should I do when I get married?
She immediately beat her chest and stamped her feet, crying and wiping tears, "Now I can't get married. We agreed before that I would bring the dowry. What will the Hu family think of me then?"
Old Mrs. Ruan felt very distressed. No outsiders had come to the house in the past few days, and the courtyard gate was usually closed. The only explanation was that there was a thief in the house.
But there is no evidence at the moment, and since the person dared to steal, he will definitely deny it to death.
She thought for a moment and said with a serious face, "Don't panic yet, go and call your second brother 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 the other person and said sternly, "Dahe, let me ask you, Lanxiang is your biological sister, do you care about her affairs?"
Ruan Dahai's heart sank, and he even sobered up a lot.
"Mom, Lanxiang is my sister, how could I not care?"
Old Lady Ruan nodded. "I'm relieved to hear you say that. Your sister is getting married soon. What dowry have you and Hongxia prepared for her?"
It turns out he wanted money.
Ruan Dahe stammered, "Mom, isn't our family's money in your hands? Why are you asking about me?"
Old Lady Ruan was not one to be fooled. She bulged her eyes and angrily scolded, "You heartless ungrateful bastard, don't think I don't know that you've been secretly hiding your private money. If I hadn't had any other choice, would I have come to your door to beg 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 a filial son. Now he was scolded so badly that he felt ashamed and guilty. He just held his head and said nothing.
Seeing this, Old Lady Ruan slowed down her tone again, "Dahe, you haven't given birth to a son anyway, so why save so much money? I don't have any other requests. Just give Lanxiang some dowry, and this matter will be settled."
Give a slap and then a candy, this trick of Mrs. Ruan always works on her second son Ruan Dahai.
Especially the issue of not having a son, once brought up, it was like strangling Ruan Dahai's lifeline.
Sure enough, Ruan Dahe, who was as stupid as a hammer, immediately looked up and said with red eyes: "Mom, don't be angry, I'll pay for it!"
Only then did Mrs. Ruan feel satisfied.
…
Sun Hongxia didn't expect to keep the lost items a secret for long.
So when Ruan Lanxiang came over, she reacted immediately.
In the main room, Old Lady Ruan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "Second son's wife, have you been to my room these days?"
Sun Hongxia pretended not to understand and said in a panic, "Mom, I was just about to tell you that our house seemed to have been robbed last night. Several pieces of clothing in my room are missing."
Sun Hongxia has always been good at playing the thief crying "stop thief" and telling lies that sound like the truth.
When Mrs. Ruan heard this, she became suspicious. Could it be that she had really wronged the other party?
But no matter whether Sun Hongxia stole the things or not, the money must be blamed on her.
"Put this aside for now. I just want to ask you, Lanxiang is getting married soon, how much do you plan to pay?"
Pay money? Aren't we talking about the burglary at home?
The other party did not play according to common sense at all, and Sun Hongxia was stunned.
He forced a smile and said, "Mom, I don't have any money, you know that."
Old Lady Ruan was full of impatience and interrupted the other person fiercely, "Don't complain 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 objections?"
How can I not have any objections?
The family's food and drink are all provided by their own family, and now they want me to pay for it? Dream on!
Sun Hongxia was firm in her attitude. "I don't have any money anyway. If you want to blame someone, just blame your son for being incompetent."
Ruan Dahe, who was standing next to him, raised his hand in anger and said, "Say that again and I'll beat you to death!"
He is a man, and if he can't even control his wife, how can he hold his head up high in the future?
Old Lady Ruan was filled with hatred and fanned the flames, saying, "Dahe, hit her hard. Let's see if this bitch dares to talk back!"
Seeing that the slap was about to hit her face, Sun Hongxia suddenly remembered what the little bitch had said before, how could she have forgotten Liu Mei.
In a panic, he shouted, "Mom, I know a way to make Lanxiang marry in style."
What else can I do? My family is broke and I can’t afford a penny.
Old Mrs. 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 there's an Ah Mei noodle shop in the county town. I heard that my sister-in-law works there. Why don't we go there tomorrow and ask her for the money?"
Old Mrs. Ruan was skeptical, wondering why she had never heard of this before.
But Sun Hongxia looked serious and didn't seem to be lying.
Could it be that Liu Mei is really doing well in the county?
…
While the Ruan family was in chaos, Ruan Fu's life was going quite smoothly.
The exam rankings came out, and she ranked tenth in the city, so she naturally received 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 earned enough reputation for Yucai High School.
Principal Sun was praised at the Municipal Education Bureau meeting and was in a very good mood.
After returning, he talked to his homeroom teacher, Ms. Wang, and asked her to train Ruan Fu well so that she could get into a good university next year and impress the neighboring sister schools.
Teacher Wang felt a great sense of responsibility and nodded repeatedly, but he didn't have time to talk to Ruan Fu.
They came to me on their own initiative.
"Teacher Wang, I would like to take a two-week leave, and I will apply to not attend evening self-study classes from now on."
What?
Teacher Wang couldn't believe his ears, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
Time is so precious for high school students. They have to calculate the seconds even for eating and wish they could spend the whole day studying.
This girl is so good, she asked for leave without hesitation and even skipped the evening self-study.
If I really agreed, Principal Sun would scold me to death when he found out.
He said earnestly, "Student Ruan Fu, you did do well in this exam, but you can't be too proud. Studying in the third year of high school is like rowing against the current. If you don't make progress, you'll fall behind."
