"Hmph! Keep your mouth shut."
"Don't worry, I'm just as dissatisfied with Zhou Xiang as you are."
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't."
"You're deceiving yourself. Zhou Xiang won't let you into the Zhou family compound. How can you not be angry?"
"I'm too lazy to talk to you more."
Yang Ji turned and left. Feng Yun shrugged his shoulders. Anyway, if he got the chance, he would definitely beat Zhou Xiang up.
Yang Ji didn't expect that Sun Qing was teaching Zhou Niao, and Zhou Xiang actually hired a tutor for Zhou Niao, a fool.
Don't ask how Yang Ji knew that it was Zhou Xiang who invited him. People said that Zhou Xiang had earned money and his parents were just like his own parents. It was impossible for them to spend a lot of money on a child with no future, let alone a fool.
Zhou Xiang doesn't like to pay attention to me now, and I can't ask her how she makes money. If I can also make money, my status at home will definitely be the same as Zhou Xiang's now.
She returned home listlessly. Yang Li noticed the book in her hand and asked, "Where have you been?"
Yang Ji was stunned, forgetting to hide his books. "Oh! I'll go find Zhou Xiang to ask about homework."
There was no way. In this big yard, Zhou Xiang and I were the only ones in the same grade, and Feng Yun and Huang Jian were both in the third grade.
"Did you go to Zhou's house on May Day? You didn't come home until after eleven that day. And I even cooked dinner!"
"No, if I had gone there and my elder sister had asked me that day, I would have definitely told her."
"real?"
"real!"
Yang Li did not ask any more questions, but Yang Ji was very scared. What if his younger sister complained?
"Don't tell Big Sister about your wild guesses. I'll be cooking all the meals this week."
"Okay! I won't say anything more." Yang Li was very happy to have a week of relaxation.
At ten o'clock, Teacher Sun finished her get out of class. Zhou wanted to see her out. "How's it going? Has my brother made any progress?"
Sun Qing nodded. "Yes, he's making progress. That's great. Once he's mastered the basics of painting, it'll be up to him to hone his skills."
Zhou Xiang handed her the cloth bag in his hand. "Here are two taels of tea. I see you like tea. There are also three weeks' wages from last month. I'll pay you once a month."
Sun Qing thanked him, "Thank you. I do like tea, so I'd be grateful if you would like to have some."
After seeing off Teacher Sun, Zhou wanted to ask his elder brother to tidy up the main room. "Clean up after use and develop a good habit of keeping it clean and tidy."
"Okay!" Zhou Niao obediently began to tidy up.
When they got to the kitchen, they told Ling Ran to go to the main room to do his homework. "The table in the main room is high, so it's not too tiring to do your homework."
"No, I'll finish it soon and go home. I'll come back next week."
"Okay! Whatever!"
At lunch time, the Zhou family ate around a small table in the kitchen. Rourou and Qiuqiu were under the table, looking at their owners with their black, round dog eyes, hoping that they would occasionally throw down a bone.
Suddenly, Rourou and Qiuqiu shouted at the people who came in.
Zhou Xiang called out to Rourou and Qiuqiu, looking helplessly at Yang Ji, "Fourth Miss Yang, you didn't even eat lunch at noon and came to my house to attack me unexpectedly, as if you were catching me in an affair. What's your real reason?"
"Sister, this isn't nice to hear, but even if she was caught cheating, does she have the qualifications?"
After get off work, Zhou's mother also heard from her eldest daughter what happened in the morning. She never expected that Yang Ji was such a person with no bottom line.
"Okay, both of you, stop talking, Yang Ji. What's the matter with you coming to my house in the middle of the day?"
Yang Ji really didn't expect Ling Ran to be away. He seemed to have lunch at Zhou's house on Sundays. He wanted to make a surprise attack so that Zhou Xiang would have nothing to say.
Didn’t Zhou Xiang deceive himself this morning?
That's impossible. Ling Ran has come to Zhou's house every holiday in the past few months. Why didn't he come today?
Zhou Xiang looked at Yang Ji, whose expression kept changing, and said jokingly, "Do you want to look in my closet? See if there's anyone hiding?"
"No, ah, no, no, I just came to borrow a book from you."
"Really? What book is so important that you'd block me out at lunchtime?"
"Isn't it that I'm afraid you won't lend it to me?"
"You still have some self-awareness, don't you? I won't lend you any books, even if they have to be torn up and burned. My parents can't control me, so I won't lend you any books."
"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Jiang, look at this..."
Father Zhou waved his hand and said, "Go back! If you don't want to lend it to me, then don't lend it to me. I don't care."
Zhou's mother also waved her hand, "We adults don't get involved in your children's affairs."
Yang Ji's eyes were filled with anger. The Zhou family was going too far. They were actually colluding to make things difficult for him. He single-handedly protected Zhou Xiang.
"Get out of here! I'm going to close the door!" Zhou Yu drove him away.
Yang Ji was driven out. Looking at the closed gate, his face was full of color. For Zhou Xiang, the Zhou family didn't even care about basic courtesy and politeness.
If I could make money and study well like Zhou Xiang, could I also do whatever I want?
However, studying is too difficult, so I’d better continue with my plan of finding a good friend or boyfriend!
For example, Ling Ran, if I win his heart, given his personality, he should protect his woman. At that time, he will definitely trample the Zhou family and Zhou Xiang under his feet.
Having set his goal, Yang Ji turned around and went home. He couldn't completely turn against Ling Ran yet, and still had to rely on Zhou Xiang to get close to Ling Ran.
However, if there is a chance, I can show off more in front of Ling Ran's parents.
"I didn't expect Yang Ji to be like this? Except for Yang Jin, the rest of the Yang family is not that good." Zhou's mother sighed.
"Mom, you're wrong. Yang Jin isn't that great either. Otherwise, she should have asked Yang Juan to come to our house to apologize. Her younger brothers and sisters all listen to her! But she seems to be unaware of these things. Alas! It's a pity for the students in her class. I guess they will all go astray."
Zhou's mother was amused by her daughter's nonsense. "Alright, let's eat! Don't mind other people's business."
When Yang Ji returned home, his family had already eaten and there were still leftovers on the table.
Yang Jin asked, "Where have you been? You didn't even eat!"
"I have a stomach ache."
"Okay, hurry up and clear the table and get yourself something to eat."
No one else asked her except Yang Jin.
Faced with his family's indifference and ruthlessness, Yang Ji felt even more that he had done nothing wrong.
After clearing the table, I saw only a small piece of rice crust left in the pot on the stove in the kitchen. I scooped it out, soaked it in the folded leftover soup, and swallowed it with tears.
I did nothing wrong!
When Zhou Xiang had some free time, he took his elder brother to weave straw bags for watermelons. He even asked his father to buy the straw ropes from an acquaintance!
The twisted straw ropes in rural areas are all sold to supply and marketing cooperatives, not sold at stalls in the market.
Zhou Niao imitated her sister's technique and weaved a crooked bag.
"Brother, this won't work. It can't hold the watermelon. The watermelon has grown big and is very heavy."
Zhou Niao pulled the bag off the shelf and started over.
