Chapter 190 That was more of a shock.
Shen Xuewei and her grandmother walked slowly back along the road.
"Weiwei, are you still reluctant to part with your second aunt?"
Shen Xuewei nodded, "Yes, Grandma, when are we going to visit her next time?"
Grandma Xi patted her head and said, "Next time, when your little cousin is a month old and your second aunt is out of confinement, we'll bring your two uncles and your aunt to visit her."
"Midterm exams are next week, so study hard and try to get good grades."
Perhaps influenced by her maternal grandfather, when her maternal grandmother spoke to her, she would often steer the conversation toward her studies.
Shen Xuewei's expression softened, and she responded with a soft "yes," remaining silent for the rest of the journey.
After returning to school, she continued her studies, but she also kept up with the novel she was writing.
In this world, you can't rely on anyone.
However, the money she earns will become her support in the future.
After the midterm exams, the results came out, and Shen Xuewei maintained her position as the top student in the grade, but the gap between her and Wang Zhuoxi's scores widened.
They were a full 8 points behind.
When the two met, Wang Zhuoxi complained to her somewhat resentfully.
"Wow, Shen Xuewei, you have no idea what my homeroom teacher is like. She's absolutely amazing. She's much worse than all my previous Chinese teachers. I really don't know how she became a teacher."
"Do you think she got her job as a teacher through connections?"
Shen Xuewei listened silently to his complaints without saying a word.
She felt that Wang Zhuoxi might be right; it was indeed possible that he got the job through connections.
Despite his complaints, Wang Zhuoxi turned around and went to the teacher's office, but still smiled at Xue Xiaomei.
At the end of November, Chen Fangli finished her postpartum confinement, and Chu Dexi finally completed her full-month confinement.
Apart from Chen Fangmin, all the other members of the Chen family gathered at the Chu family home to attend Chu Dexi's full moon celebration.
It was Friday. Shen Xuewei took the afternoon off and went straight to the school gate after school in the morning. After waiting for a tricycle in the town, she took the tricycle to Fuxing Village.
When she arrived at the Chu family home, most of the relatives had already left after the banquet, leaving only a small number of close relatives behind.
As soon as Shen Xuewei got closer, some sharp-eyed people spotted her.
"Oh, Vivi's here too."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fangli quickly came out and went to greet Shen Xuewei.
"Weiwei, are you hungry? Eat first. I saved some dishes for you. Your aunt just arrived, so you two can eat together."
Shen Xuewei smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Chen Fangli quickly brought out the dishes left in the kitchen and placed them on the dining table for Shen Xuewei and Chen Fanglan to eat.
While eating, Shen Xuewei spoke quietly to Chen Fanglan.
"Auntie, you've lost a lot of weight recently."
When she saw Chen Fanglan a few months ago, Chen Fanglan was still a little plump, but now she looks like she has lost at least several pounds.
Chen Fanglan was both distressed and delighted: "Business has been good at the store lately. The boss has introduced new beauty equipment, and I just came back from studying in Hong Kong. I've been busy all day long, and I haven't had a break for almost half a month..."
Shen Xuewei clicked her tongue in amazement, "Auntie, you're really hardworking."
Chen Fanglan sighed, "After I finish eating, I'll check on the children and then I have to hurry back to the county."
Despite being busy, Chen Fanglan felt very happy when she thought about how much more her salary would be next month than in the previous months.
If I save up more money, I can buy a house near the beauty salon in the county, and then I won't have to rent anymore.
She quickly finished her meal, said a few words to everyone, glanced at Chu Dexi, and then hurriedly left in her high heels.
She had barely left when Chu Yongqiang arrived.
He glanced around the room, greeted everyone with a smile, and then asked:
"Didn't you say Alan was coming too? Where is she?"
Grandma Xi was about to speak when Shen Xuewei interrupted her.
"My aunt said she needed to use the toilet, but someone was in the toilet at home, so she went to someone else's house. She should be back soon, right?"
Chu Yongqiang said "Oh," and then added, "I see."
Shen Xuewei smiled and replied, "Yes, that's what my aunt just told me."
Grandma Xi asked in confusion, "Didn't your aunt just say she was going back to the county?"
Shen Xuewei remained calm. "Yes, but my aunt said she'd take me and De'an to the convenience store to buy things later, and we'd go back after that. Didn't you hear that, Grandma?"
Grandma Xi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
She looked at Chu Yongqiang and said, "Yongqiang, why don't you sit here for a while? When she comes back, you can talk to her again."
"Okay." Chu Yongqiang nodded first, then started to get closer to the Chen family members present.
Watching him chatting warmly with the Chen family, Shen Xuewei made an excuse to go back to her room and secretly called Chen Fanglan.
"Hello?"
As soon as Chen Fanglan said "Hey," Shen Xuewei lowered her voice and quickly said:
"Auntie, have you gotten on the bus yet? If not, hurry up and find a car to leave. Chu Yongqiang is at your second aunt's house right now, talking to Grandma and the others."
Chen Fanglan's expression changed, and her legs, which had been somewhat weak, kicked even faster.
"Okay, I understand. I'll charter a car and set off right away. Thank you for tipping me off. I'll reward you later."
"Oh dear, we'll talk about it later. Auntie, you should go now."
After hanging up the phone, she went outside naturally and listened to everyone talking.
Nearly half an hour later, Chu Yongqiang got up and looked outside.
"Weiwei, didn't you just say your aunt went to the bathroom and came back to look for you? Why haven't you been here for so long?"
Shen Xuewei slapped her head in frustration, looking somewhat angry.
"My aunt must have been annoyed by me talking to her and deliberately lied to me! Oh, Grandma, next time my aunt comes back, you have to talk to her for me."
She complained to her maternal grandmother.
It was rare for her to show this childlike side, and everyone burst into laughter.
"Okay, next time your aunt comes back, I'll teach her a lesson and see if she dares to lie to people again."
Only Chu Yongqiang remained expressionless, unable to manage a smile.
The adults were talking about something when Chu De'an came to Shen Xuewei's side and pointed in the direction of the convenience store.
Shen Xuewei glanced at it, nodded, and the two quietly ran out the door.
He had only jogged a few steps when Chu Yongqiang followed him out.
"Vivi, Dean, wait for me."
The two turned their heads away, not understanding why he had followed them.
"Uncle Yongqiang, what brings you here?"
Chu Yongqiang smiled and handed five yuan to each of them, but then looked at Shen Xuewei.
"Weiwei, I heard you went to your aunt's place during your vacation?"
Shen Xuewei nodded, "Yes."
Many people know about this, so it's not surprising that Chu Yongqiang knows about it.
She then asked in return, "Uncle Yongqiang, why are you asking this?"
Chu Yongqiang scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:
"I'm not pursuing your aunt, I just wanted to give her a surprise."
"Buy her a bouquet of flowers and wait for her at your aunt's house..."
For a moment, Shen Xuewei's eyes showed horror.
No, you call this a surprise?
What kind of surprise is this?
That should be called being frightened.
If someone just shows up at her aunt's house like that, she'll probably scare her aunt to death.
At that moment, she felt that Chu Yongqiang and her aunt were completely incompatible.
