Chapter 154 You Should Apologize to Xueli
Tang Xueli walked faster than Yan Jingshu. She opened the door and saw her lunch box lying in a pool of soup.
The broth that was boiled for several hours was then fed to the earth.
The old lady glanced towards the door, slapped her thigh a few times, and bent down to pick up the piece of meat on the ground with a look of frustration.
"What a waste! Such a waste, Taozi... you can be angry, but why would you be so picky about food!"
She quickly grabbed the pieces of meat and yam and put them on the plate, intending to wash them before eating.
These are all still edible. In the past, when there was a famine, people even ate rat meat and tree bark. These good pork and yam are just covered with a little dirt and dust, which is not detrimental to eating.
Tang Xueli walked over and helped the old lady up, "Please sit down, I will sweep!"
"Don't sweep, we can still eat it after washing it." The old lady refused to get up.
Her eyes were filled with tears and she sighed heavily: "Hey, this is delicious broth. Girl, I am so sorry for you!"
"It's okay." Tang Xueli forcibly pulled the old lady up and helped her sit on the stool, "I'll do it for you next time."
The old lady was malnourished and had always been weak.
I had an argument with my daughter and my emotions were fluctuating greatly. If I bent over for a while, my vision would become a little blurry.
If Tang Xueli hadn't supported her, she almost fell to the ground.
Sister Taozi rolled her eyes at Tang Xueli and pouted, "You are so hypocritical and attentive without any reason. You are either a traitor or a thief. God knows what you are thinking about my mother!"
"Sister Taozi, Xueli is my friend. It is very inappropriate for you to say such things."
Yan Jingshu said with a serious face, "You should apologize to Xueli."
"Apology, bullshit!" Sister Taozi snorted and laughed, "Yan Jingshu, your vision in finding a partner is just like that. I thought you would find a well-educated and well-mannered lady. Look at this girl next to you. It's obvious that she came from a wild background. She can do anything to achieve her goal. She is definitely not a good person."
"Xue Li, I'm sorry. Auntie apologizes to you on behalf of my daughter. She's been in a bad mood recently and scolds everyone she sees. Don't be angry."
The old lady held Tang Xueli's hand, not knowing how to express her apology.
"I'm not angry."
After living her life over again, Tang Xueli understood one thing: don't hurt yourself because of other people's mistakes, and don't let insignificant people affect your mood.
Life is short, anger is harmful to your health, and health is the foundation of everything.
There is no need to worry about these insignificant little things!
As the saying goes, incompetence leads to rage. People who are often angry and narrow-minded and sarcastic are extremely incompetent.
Yan Jingshu, however, was not so open-minded. After all, he was just a young man in his early twenties. When he heard someone speaking ill of and slandering the girl he liked, he became furious.
In addition, Taozi has the same bad attitude towards her own mother, which is really infuriating.
But before he could open his mouth to get angry, he was dragged away by Tang Xueli.
"Stand in the yard and take a hundred deep breaths before going back into the house. I'll go help Auntie sweep the floor. Let's not worry about their family affairs for now."
After Tang Xueli settled Yan Jingshu, she returned to the aunt's room, quickly cleaned the floor, and took back the lunch box of broth before leaving.
Yan Jingshu has returned to his room. I wonder if he has honestly taken a hundred deep breaths.
Tang Xueli returned to school after changing Yan Jingshu's medicine.
After the afternoon class, she went back to the dormitory to finish her homework, and then went to the old warehouse near the Experimental Primary School in the evening.
Uncle He came and tried to go into the inner room to play, but was stopped outside. Later, he played in the hall until early morning.
The curtains in the inner room were kept closed, and no real human figure was seen throughout the whole process.
I don’t know if Chi Daben came this time.
As the crowd came out in the morning, Tang Xueli was surprised to see a familiar person.
Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.
I rode the bicycle parked on the next street and headed towards Yan Jingshu's house.
Sure enough, I soon saw Sister Taozi walking hurriedly.
"Bad luck? Lost a lot?" Tang Xueli did not get off the bicycle, but rode slowly beside Sister Taozi at the same pace.
Sister Taozi was startled and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"I saw you coming out of the card room over at Experimental Primary School." Tang Xueli went straight to the point.
Sister Taozi narrowed her eyes. "You play cards, too? What kind do you like to play?"
"I can play anything. I'm good at math and I can win at anything."
Tang Xueli said mysteriously: "You know, the people in the house win more. I play for one day and it's enough for me to use for a month."
Sister Taozi noticed that Tang Xueli's clothes looked simple and plain, but the quality was actually very good and not cheap.
"You're not short of money, so why are you trying to please my mom and get close to her?"
Sister Taozi paused and asked, "What are you studying?"
Is she studying architecture? Does she need her mother to help her with some connections?
Tang Xueli said: "I studied Chinese medicine."
"Huh?" Sister Taozi really didn't understand.
She thought about it and guessed, "Are you trying to act kind in front of Yan Jingshu?"
"Why should I pretend to be kind in front of him?" Tang Xueli smiled faintly, "I have already rejected him."
"You don't like Yan Jingshu?" Sister Taozi was a little surprised.
It's always the girls who chase after Yan Jingshu, but this boy doesn't look down on any of them.
Unexpectedly, the person he likes now doesn't have that kind of interest in him.
Haha, that's interesting.
Then… Sister Taozi thought for a moment and felt that she understood. “You are using my mother as a test subject, right? To test your soups that have been drugged.”
Tang Xueli shook her head and corrected him, "It's not a test subject. I just want to help."
"Forget it!" Sister Taozi curled her lips, "It's just a nice thing to say. I know people like you are very purposeful."
Tang Xueli didn't explain any more and let her think about it.
Sister Taozi's hostility towards Tang Xueli had mostly disappeared.
She tilted her head to look at the person next to her and asked, "Can you teach me? Teach me how to count cards to win money. I'm very smart and I'm sure I can learn it."
After gambling for a year or two, she discovered that winning was not just a matter of luck. Only by knowing how to count cards could she win more than she lost.
But she studied it for a long time and still couldn't figure out how to calculate this card.
She believed there must be a trick here, but she just didn't understand it yet.
"It's not impossible for me to teach you." Tang Xueli said ambiguously.
"If I win any money, I can give you a portion of it as my tuition!" Sister Taozi's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"How much will you give me?" Tang Xueli asked.
Sister Taozi thought for a moment and said, "20%, is that okay?"
Tang Xueli said nothing.
Sister Taozi observed her expression and asked, "What about 30%?"
Tang Xueli pretended to think about it but didn't nod.
"At most 40%, no more." Sister Taozi said, "And I'll only give you three months. The better you teach, the more I earn, and the more I'll give you!"
Tang Xueli smiled. She said this because she was afraid that she would keep something to herself and not want to teach her more!
In fact, even if you are good at counting cards, you may not win in gambling. The real winner is the cheater.
But cheating will definitely be discovered, unless you play once and run away. Otherwise, if you are caught, you will be in trouble.
In fact, the only person who is guaranteed to make a profit is the boss behind the scenes.
Gamblers are just victims of others' money-making.
Tang Xueli: "I can teach you, but it will take more than one or two days to learn this. It takes time. Do you have the patience to learn?"
"Be patient!" Sister Taozi asked, "How long will you teach me?"
"About... three months!" Tang Xueli said seriously, "In three months, I can make a profit."
Sister Taozi frowned: "...So long?"
Tang Xueli: "If you think it's too long, forget it."
Sister Taozi: "Don't forget it, I'll learn it!"
