Chapter 138



Chapter 138

Cheng Yu's mother Tao Hanjin is too busy. Cheng Yu said that her mother seemed to have taken on a confidential project last year and went to live in the research institute for three or four months. She was never seen again after that, so Tao Hanjin kept postponing her visit to Wang Mengmei.

When Wang Mengmei heard that Cheng Yu's mother was so powerful, she immediately persuaded Cheng Yu that they could get together again when they had time. She didn't dare to disturb the scientist's business.

Cheng Yu later wanted to give Wang Mengmei money for meals, but Wang Mengmei refused to accept it no matter what.

Wang Mengmei felt guilty accepting the money for such an expensive scarf.

In the end, Tao Hanjin told Cheng Yu to forget it, since they were in the same city anyway and there would always be a chance to repay the favor.

However, Tao Hanjin still remembers the help Jian Li gave to his daughter. Especially after the division of subjects, Cheng Yu's grades gradually improved. Although she was not in the top ten in the class, she was also in the top 20. This was the top 20 in a key class. As long as she maintained her grades, she would be able to get into a decent school in the college entrance examination.

Tao Hanjin heard from his daughter that Jian Li always explained questions to her. Before the final exam last year, the two of them would ask and answer each other to check each other's knowledge.

Tao Hanjin thought that it was Jian Li who influenced his daughter to love studying, so he discussed with several other family members and decided to give Jian Li some gifts.

Jian Li looked at the three packages and asked Cheng Yu: "Don't tell me that your parents and your brother gave me things with logos. If they are really expensive, I won't accept them."

She had many friends in high school, but the ones she played best with were Cheng Yu and several members of the comics club.

It's good to have give and take, but when adults mixed in and gave luxury goods, Jian Li still felt weird.

In other words, she is too careless. If it were any other little classmate, the parents' attitude of giving expensive gifts all the time would sooner or later ruin the friendship between the children.

Cheng Yu: "...Take it apart and have a look."

She felt extremely guilty when she said this. Most of her parents' gifts were bought abroad. Who knows if they are expensive?

As for her brother...

In fact, she had never seen her brother give gifts to others, so she didn't know what her brother would give.

Jian Li opened the package and, as expected, among the three boxes, one contained a wallet with old flower patterns on it and the other contained a plush bear. But the brand also revealed that this thing would not be cheap.

Cheng Yu: "...Please take it. I'll talk to them later."

Jian Li snorted, stuffed the first two pieces back and gave them back to Cheng Yu.

When the third package was opened, Jian Li was stunned for a moment.

Inside was a comic book and a palm-sized piece of white cardboard with hand-drawn sketches and Japanese words on it.

Cheng Yu picked up the comic book and said, "This is your favorite comic book."

She told her brother about it.

Jian Li picked up the white cardboard and her whole body trembled with happiness.

"Where did your brother get the author's signature?!"

Ahhhhhhh, Jian Li is about to float up.

She had originally planned to wait until she went to college before asking the teacher for his autograph!

Happiness came too suddenly, and Jian Li was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

"Your brother... No! When will our brother come back? I'll treat him to dinner!"

Please give her a dozen of such good brothers!

Cheng Yu: “…”

Jian Li picked up the signature painting and looked for a place to put it. After waiting for a while, she felt that this was too hasty. She should order a frame to be customized and put the signature painting in it. She wanted to look at it every time she painted!

"My brother is so outstanding!"

From being promoted from "your brother" to "our brother", Cheng Yu inexplicably had a sense of crisis.

But it’s not about her brother’s sense of crisis, but about her best friend’s sense of crisis.

Why do you feel like Jian Li is going to be snatched away?

Jian Li put her arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I won't scold your brother today."

Just because of the teacher's signature, Jian Li's opinion of Cheng Yu's "neurotic brother" changed drastically.

This is a good person!

*****

The second semester of the second year of high school has begun.

Two vicious incidents occurred in Taocheng at the beginning of the year.

One incident was during the winter vacation, when students from two high schools had a fight. I don’t know which side brought a steel pipe, and after the fight, two students fell down. A passerby saw it and called the police. The two students were sent to the hospital, one had a concussion, and the other could not be saved.

This incident caused a stir in all the high schools in Taocheng, and Wang Mengmei was filled with worry.

"Why are children nowadays so difficult to manage?"

The thought of a fight resulting in death is scary just by hearing about it.

Wang Mengmei now has no regrets about letting Jian Li learn boxing. Although Jian Li's current level is not very high, it has greatly improved his ability to run away if problems arise.

Wang Mengmei reminded him again and again.

"If you encounter something like this, don't go forward, just run away."

Later, the police arrested the two groups of students who were fighting. Some of them were just there to watch the fun, but somehow they got in, so they were also called away. Now it has been almost half a month, and these kids have not been released yet.

Many of the people involved in the fight were young hooligans who had finished school a long time ago but were not old enough to go out to work. They went there just because their schoolmates called them. They were young and hot-tempered, and they would fight at the drop of a hat.

Another incident was even more egregious. Some local hooligans took advantage of the Chinese New Year to steal steel.

But there were people watching over the construction site, and those hooligans realized that things were not going well, so they pushed the person and ran away under the cover of darkness.

The next day, when people went to the construction site to deliver lunch, they discovered that the back of the man who was watching the site had hit the back of his head on a protruding steel bar and he was already dead.

The police came to collect evidence, but apart from a few footprints, they found nothing else, and the case became a cold case.

Wang Mengmei herself also noticed that perhaps because more people had left their jobs and moved to the city in the past two years, the public security was obviously worse this year.

After the incident of being penetrated by steel bars, Wang Mengmei no longer dared to let Ni Hao sleep alone in the store, so she simply asked her two apprentices to sleep in the store as well.

Most of the merchants on Changqing Street have also replaced their doors with anti-theft doors for fear of being broken into.

Jian Feng also started to arrange people to take turns looking after the store. Xiao Shi’s wife Wen Na was not suitable to look after the store, so Xiao Shi often came by himself.

The criminal was not caught and everyone was holding their breath.

When Jian Li got home from school that day, she saw some more hooligans at the door.

Ge Ming was wearing a black down jacket and standing in the middle.

A few younger brothers surrounded him, and Ge Ming looked around with a cigarette in his mouth.

As soon as Shouhou saw Jian Li, his heart was filled with emotion. A year later, Jian Li's skin was rosy and fair, her hair was tied into a braid and hung behind her head, she carried a pink and white schoolbag on her body, and wore a half-length white down jacket over her school uniform.

You can see her from a distance.

The skinny monkey’s eyes were glued to Jian Li and couldn’t be taken off.

Ge Ming, holding a cigarette in his mouth, also looked over and suddenly paused.

He looked at Jian Li carefully and felt that she looked familiar.

It wasn't until he got home that Ge Ming suddenly remembered.

Isn’t this the daughter of his father’s eldest brother? What’s her name?

I think her name is Jian Li?

Thinking of this, he chuckled.

It’s so funny that the girl that Skinny Monkey likes is actually his cousin.

Ge Ming was lying on the sofa smoking. The ashes from the cigarette fell on the leather sofa and burned holes in it, but he didn't care at all.

Huang Guihua lives in her youngest son's house. Because her children did not take good care of her, her condition became more serious and she is now almost completely paralyzed.

Looking at her most beloved grandson, Huang Guihua's eyes flashed with resentment and regret.

Ge Ming came out, but his grandmother was not in his eyes.

Huang Guihua stretched her neck to ask for water, but he would just pretend not to hear her. Occasionally, Huang Guihua would moan a few times because of the pain in her body, and Ge Ming would even angrily tell her not to scream.

“It’s so noisy!”

Huang Guihua looked at Ge Ming with disdainful eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Ge Ming walked out of the room cursing and slammed the door, not caring whether she lived or died.

This is her great grandson.

Huang Guihua had never realized her failure so deeply. Her children and grandchildren were unfilial and her husband was indifferent to her.

Her young daughter-in-law even told her viciously that Ge Qiang was planning to find an old lady after she died.

The whole family hoped that she would die.

After Huang Guihua's sadness, she instead developed an even stronger desire to survive.

She won't die!

She hasn't lived enough!

She has suffered for most of her life, and now it’s her end. No matter whether it’s a blessing or not, she has to endure it!

Huang Guihua held her breath. If her children tortured her, she would torture them in return.

Anyway, she won’t die!

A month later, Ge Yaqin came to see her mother and was surprised to find that Huang Guihua was in better health.

Ge Yaqin took her for a walk under the sun. Huang Guihua looked at her little daughter with cloudy eyes. She originally thought that her little daughter was filial and obedient. After spending time in the hospital bed, she looked at her healthy daughter and felt jealous.

She deliberately put all her weight on her daughter, and seeing Ge Yaqin panting and begging, she finally felt a little relieved.

Ge Yaqin wiped the sweat off his forehead and planned to send her back.

She held her daughter's hand and tremblingly squeezed out a few words from between her teeth.

“Go…go…”

Ge Yaqin: "Mom, please let me go. I'll come back to see you."

Huang Guihua didn't let go: "Go..."

Ge Yaqin finally understood the words: "Mom, where do you want to go?"

Huang Guihua: "Your...home..."

There was an extra layer of stubbornness and viciousness in Huang Guihua's eyes.

This is the psychological distortion caused by the double torture of illness and experience.

Screw filial piety and children.

After she dies, who cares about the flood?

Ge Yaqin was dumbfounded.

Huang Guihua was as stubborn as a child and held her hand tightly to refuse to let go.

"go……"

The fourth sister-in-law, who had come out of nowhere, deliberately said, "Oh, Yaqin, Mom wants to live with you. You are so filial, you must be willing, right?"

Ge Yaqin quickly declined: "Sister-in-law, please stop joking. There is no room for me to stay there."

"Didn't you say your parents-in-law asked you to move to Xinghua Garden? I remember it was a four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment?"

Ge Yaqin: “…”

Huang Guihua became even more persistent: "Go!"

She has made up her mind, so no one else can have an easy time.

She wants to live with her little daughter, and then she will go back to live with her old man.

In short, Huang Guihua is here to make people suffer!
