Chapter 103
Cheng Yu was a little fool and never paid attention to the time when his aunt came.
"Auntie Yang usually comes to cook for me at twelve o'clock..."
This is the time set by the family, but Cheng Yu usually goes to bed late on weekends, sometimes sleeping until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. After waking up, she doesn't pay much attention to whether the aunt comes or not. If not, she goes out to buy food. In fact, it doesn't matter to her whether the aunt comes or not, because the food she cooks is not delicious anyway.
Jian Li put the digital watch on her hand in front of Cheng Yu: "It's almost one o'clock!"
Cheng Yu said timidly: "How about we go out to eat? I have money."
As he spoke, Cheng Yu took out his wallet with stickers of the three Little Tigers' faces on it from his drawer.
"Look, I have enough money, let's go out for dinner."
Inside the obviously expensive black leather wallet was a thick stack of large bills, at least several hundred yuan.
Jian Li: ...
"It's a wonder you weren't fooled."
Just thinking about Cheng Yu showing his wallet to the classmates who came to his house for the first time made Jian Li worry about his future.
"Don't you have your aunt's home phone number?"
Cheng Yu quickly found a note and said, "Yes."
Jian Li: "Come on, make a phone call."
Cheng Yu was scared again: "Let's not fight anymore. I'll treat you to fried noodles."
Jian Li looked very disappointed: "Why didn't I notice you were so scared before?"
Cheng Yu didn't dare to say anything. She always felt that Jian Li looked as scary as her serious brother.
Jian Li dialed the number on the note, and Cheng Yu whispered to her to go out to eat with him.
"There are a lot of delicious food outside our neighborhood, and there's also a newly opened rice noodle shop."
Jian Li ignored her and waited until someone picked up the phone. It was an elderly female voice.
"Hello?"
Jian Li placed the microphone next to Cheng Yu's ear and used her mouth to signal her to speak.
Cheng Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Aunt Yang, when will you come to cook for me? I'm hungry."
Aunt Yang was nervous when she answered the phone. Although Cheng Yu's parents would be away for about half a month, who knew if they would come back earlier?
If I came back early and saw that there was no one at home to cook, I would probably go to her to ask for clarification.
So when Cheng Yu said that, she hurriedly asked, "Xiao Yu, did your parents ask you to call? Are they back?"
Cheng Yu: "No, Auntie, I brought my classmates home."
Aunt Yang confirmed again and again, and finally confirmed that Cheng Yu's parents and brother had not returned, but Cheng Yu brought a classmate home today.
Now, her anxious heart finally settled back into her stomach.
"You two are going out to eat when your classmates are here. It's the weekend and I have to cook and do laundry for the whole family. How can I have time to do it for you? You are alone, just go out and have some fried noodles and fried rice with your classmates. By the way, I won't be there tomorrow. I have something to do at home. You can eat whatever you want. Really, you are such a big girl, and you still ask others to do this and that. When I was your age, what kind of housework did I not do at home? You girls nowadays are so spoiled that you can't even cook a meal."
Jian Li frowned as she listened to the other party criticizing Cheng Yu in the microphone. It was truly an eye-opener.
Aunt Yang hung up the phone after talking to herself, sounding very righteous, as if she was the one who paid Cheng Yu's salary.
Cheng Yu said sadly, "Come on, Xiaoli, let's go out to eat."
What can she do if her aunt doesn't come to cook for her?
Jian Li: ...No, you are such a fool!
"Hey, are you just going to let it go?"
Cheng Yu raised his eyes and said in a low voice: "What else can we do?"
Jian Li handed her the phone: "Call your parents and complain!"
Cheng Yu: "Forget it."
She was not stupid, so she could see that her aunt was just brushing her off and bullying her. But...
"My parents are too busy to answer my call."
Every time I called, either the secretary or the assistant answered, and my parents were either in a meeting or had something else to do.
“Even if I told them, they wouldn’t believe me.”
Cheng Yu pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty: "This Aunt Yang is a distant relative of my father's. Strictly speaking, I should call her my cousin."
Cheng Yu finally spoke out what was in her heart. She trusted Jian Li inexplicably.
"When my parents are at home, she comes very diligently and can't find fault with anything. But when my parents leave, she is like this. I have said before that her cooking is not delicious, but my parents don't believe it. My dad said that I am picky and that Aunt Yang is a good cook..."
"She took toys from my room home to give to her grandson to play with. I wouldn't let her do that, so she complained to my parents, and my parents scolded me."
Jian Li listened silently.
Cheng Yu concluded, "So I simply stopped complaining. She's just perfunctory anyway. I asked my parents for money. I can eat out as much as I want when I have money."
On the contrary, after she started eating out frequently, Aunt Yang stopped complaining to her parents.
Cheng Yu knew that Aunt Yang did this on purpose.
She eats out and Aunt Yang doesn't have to worry about her and is happy to get her wages for free.
Cheng Yu sniffed: "I just want to finish high school as soon as possible, and then I will run away and never come back."
Jian Li interrupted to spoil the mood: "With your current performance, I don't think you can run far."
Cheng Yu, who ranked 320th in the exam: …
Jian Li brought the topic back to the topic: "To be honest, I don't think your parents care about you that much."
She counted on her fingers and said, "Look, we used our connections to get you into the key classes. You couldn't attend the last parent meeting, but you also said that they would pick a time to call the teacher to communicate."
"As for your life, they hired a nanny, but they didn't just give her money. In fact, they were still worried and wanted to find someone to take care of you."
Although this nanny, who was a relative of hers, was irresponsible, overall, Jian Li did not feel that Cheng Yu's parents did not care about her at all as she said.
"I guess it's because of your brother."
Cheng Yu looked at Jian Li in confusion.
Jian Li sighed: "I know what kind of person your brother is just by listening to you."
He was very ambitious and decided to transfer to another school after studying in No. 1 Middle School for one year.
I am a good student and have many hobbies. I have won a lot of awards and trophies since I was a child.
He went his own way and reportedly chose his university major on his own terms. He gave up the construction industry his family was in and insisted on studying mathematics. After a year, Cheng Yu told him that it seemed his brother was going to change his major again.
With such an overly independent brother, Cheng Yu's parents probably couldn't have imagined that Cheng Yu would be such a big fool even if they racked their brains!
Jian Li gave a thorough analysis that confused Cheng Yu.
Is that the case? Her parents just educated her in the same way they educated her brother, so they didn't notice the problems she had?
"So what do I do now?"
Jian Li: "It's up to you."
"Your parents were probably misled by Aunt Yang's false information. You said she would complain if you didn't give her toys. I bet you that she definitely didn't complain about you not giving her things."
I have never heard of a nanny daring to complain that she took something on her own.
"It's easiest for adults to bully children. All they need to do is be two-faced and tell lies to make you lose trust in each other."
"So you have to make your parents believe you."
Cheng Yu murmured: "Let them believe me..."
Before Cheng Yu could figure it out, Jian Li, hungry as hell, pulled her out the door.
"Let's go out for dinner."
This is a cold pot and cold stove, there is not even a dish.
The two found a noodle shop outside, put the dough on the press, and the boss sat on the other side of the press, using his own gravity to press the dough out of the press. The noodles were smooth and elastic, and were put into the soup made from sheep bones, with a few slices of mutton on top, and sprinkled with a handful of green garlic sprouts and coriander.
Jian Li used a small plastic spoon to add the chili peppers. The chili peppers made from pure mutton fat solidified and looked more like crushed hot pot base. When they were put into the soup bowl, the aroma of the chili peppers began to spread.
In this cold weather, it’s a good idea to have a sip of spicy mutton soup and a bite of delicious noodles.
Jian Li's forehead was covered with sweat. "Did you know that a Walkman can also record audio?"
…
Jian Li rode her bicycle home. Cheng Yufei had just dragged her to buy a Walkman. After dinner, the two of them went to the commercial street in the city and visited the computer city.
Cheng Yu finally spent several hundred yuan to buy a Sony Walkman. After the clerk taught him how to use it, Cheng Yu hurried home.
Jian Li sighed, fortunately he was not a tough guy.
When riding a bicycle near the vegetable market, Jian Li saw Ni Hao arguing with a young woman from a distance.
Jian Li, who loves to watch the fun, lay aside and watched the excitement.
But this excitement has obviously happened many times.
The young woman was Cui Panpan. Cui Panpan asked Ni Hao with tears in her eyes whether he still loved her.
Ni Hao was so annoyed that Cui Panpan's entanglement with him became even tighter during this period of time.
Ni Hao thought he had made himself clear, but Cui Panpan refused to listen or look, and continued to attack.
"Panpan, don't be like this."
Cui Panpan has lost a lot of weight and her eye sockets are sunken.
In the past two months, she almost cried her eyes out, but no matter how much she cried, Ni Hao wouldn't give in.
Cui Panpan: "Haozi, I don't want the house to be in my name. You just need to give me 8,888 yuan as a gift! My parents have agreed!"
Cui Panpan's parents wanted to find another family like Ni Hao's, but after all, they were a family who came to the city to work. They did not have city hukou, nor were they rich. The most they could find was someone with the same conditions as theirs.
Dowry is given, but most of the time it is just for the occasion, giving three or two thousand is a token of appreciation.
Cui's mother advised her husband: "Let Panpan go with Ni Hao. After all, we still have a house. What can't be discussed later?"
Now I think I was too hasty in what I said. If I had just let them get married in a nice way, then there would be nothing that couldn't be discussed after the marriage.
Ni Hao is not a man who has his own ideas. When the time comes, he will separate. Looking at his parents, they don't seem to be the type to chase their son for money. In that case, won't the money Ni Hao earns be in Panpan's hands?
It's not that Mr. Cui didn't regret it in his heart, but he had caused the most trouble and now he was too embarrassed to let it go, so he just snorted.
What this means is that Cui Panpan can find anyone she wants. As long as she can get Ni Hao on her side, the conditions in that family can be lowered.
Cui's mother revealed the news to Cui Panpan, and Cui Panpan was so happy that she wanted to fly.
The issue that the two families could not agree on was the house. Now that her parents had chosen to take a step back, there was no longer any obstacle between her and Ni Hao!
But Ni Hao's reaction caught her off guard.
Facing Cui's parents who finally agreed, Ni Hao felt even more annoyed.
Looking at Cui Panpan's pleading eyes, he couldn't explain this matter clearly.
That is, the house is not the root cause. The problem between him and Cui Panpan has not been solved yet.
