When Wang Cuilan heard that the news came from Grandpa Zheng, she knew that it was most likely true.
It must have been Uncle Zheng who told Dad.
Wang Cuilan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked Wang Cuixiang, "Xiangxiang, do you want to go to college?"
Wang Cuixiang was startled and shook her head repeatedly, "No, no."
What’s so good about going to college?
If her sister hadn't forced her, and she hadn't been able to go to school and slack off without any problem—she wouldn't have wanted to go to high school.
She looked at Wang Cuilan speechlessly, "Sister, you know I hate going to school the most."
"Why are you asking me if I'm going to college, just like my dad?"
Wang Cuilan smiled, "Dad has already asked you?"
Wang Cuixiang nodded repeatedly, "Dad asked me about it when he came back last night."
"After getting my negative answer, he asked me if I was willing to go. If I was willing, he would help me with the procedure."
"But..." At this point, Wang Cuixiang's eyes were filled with anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "Our stingy dad said that he can help you with the favor, but all the expenses for doing so will have to be paid by you."
"You want him to cushion it? It's impossible."
Wang Cuilan was not surprised. This sounded like something her father would say.
"Our dad is so stingy to us." Wang Cuixiang said.
Wang Cuilan nodded in agreement: "Except for himself and our mother, he is stingy with everyone."
Wang Cuixiang retorted, "He's not stingy with the first wife's children. Not only does he often buy things for them, but he also paid for Wang Jiaojiao's wedding banquet."
Wang Cuixiang was so angry when she talked about this.
Wang Jiaojiao stole her sister's fiancé, and not only did her father not help her sister, he also paid for Wang Jiaojiao's wedding banquet.
Wang Cuixiang thought her father was so stupid that he couldn't tell the difference between inside and outside.
Looking at the angry Wang Cuixiang, Wang Cuilan fell silent.
Is it really okay for her sister to be so naive?
Wang Cuilan: "Xiangxiang, I want to tell you something."
Wang Cuixiang was bewildered. "What's the matter?"
Why was her sister looking at her with an indescribable expression?
"It's true that our father often buys things for the eldest wife, but he actually uses the public funds to buy them."
Wang Cuixiang's eyes widened, her mouth opened, and she looked at Wang Cuilan with a dumbfounded look, "W-what do you mean?"
Wang Cuilan: "You know that Dad has to hand over one-third of his salary to the old lady at home every month, right?"
Wang Cuixiang nodded.
Wang Cuilan said, "He used the money to buy things for his eldest wife and several other relatives. Of course, he didn't do it so obviously."
"Every time he buys something, it seems like he spends more money than he should have paid to the public."
This way the old lady would feel embarrassed to ask him to hand over his salary again.
“But it’s just an appearance.”
"You know he has a way of getting bargains, right?"
Wang Cuixiang nodded blankly. At this moment, she began to understand. "So, our father actually made a profit by buying things for the eldest wife?"
Not only did he make money, he probably made a lot of money.
Wang Cuilan, "What do you think? With how stingy our father is, how can he buy things for the eldest wife so often without any benefits?"
Wang Cuixiang: “…”
Suddenly I realized that her father is really awesome.
He gained fame and benefits, and made sure that no one could say a bad word about him.
Why isn't she that smart?
Suddenly, Wang Cuixiang began to admire her father. "So what benefits did Dad get from Wang Jiaojiao's wedding banquet?"
Wang Cuilan shook her head. "I don't know, but it's definitely a big benefit."
Seeing Wang Cuixiang looking over, Wang Cuilan gathered her hair behind her ears and said nonchalantly.
"As far as I know, the day before Dad agreed to pay for Wang Jiaojiao's wedding banquet, he had dinner with Shi Renjie's father, the secretary of our commune, in the county."
Wang Cuixiang slammed the table, "I knew our father wasn't a good person. He sold his daughter for fame!"
Wang Cuilan: "...I can't say I sold my daughter for fame, at most I sold my niece for fame."
Wang Cuixiang retorted loudly: "Why can't you say it? Shi Renjie broke off the engagement with you and married Wang Jiaojiao instead, which made you lose face."
"If he was a good father, he would have knocked on the Shi family's door to seek justice for you."
"But what about him? He went to the state-owned restaurant to eat and drink with Shi Renjie's father."
"In the end, the Shi family agreed to some unknown conditions and agreed to pay for Wang Jiaojiao's wedding banquet to save her face!"
"I'm so angry!" Wang Cuixiang stood up suddenly, panting and spinning around in circles.
Even after such a long time, Wang Cuixiang still gets very angry when she thinks about the stupid things her father did.
In comparison, Wang Cuilan, the person involved, was much calmer.
She poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Wang Cuixiang, advising her, "Okay, Xiangxiang, don't be angry. Be careful not to get sick from anger."
How could Wang Cuixiang not be angry when she thought of her father's behavior of selling his daughter for fame and fortune?
However, the person who was persuading her was her sister Wang Cuilan, so no matter how angry Wang Cuixiang was, she had to suppress it.
Wang Cuixiang took the water cup and drank half of it, and the anger in her heart dissipated a little.
Seeing that Wang Cuixiang had calmed down, Wang Cuilan sat back in her seat.
She sat upright with her back straight, her knees slightly bent, and her hands on her legs, looking very pleasing to the eye.
