Chapter 48
Listen to what this is saying.
Sun Cuifang had no choice. She valued her son, but her daughter was caring. She was not the kind of person in the village who didn't treat a lady as a human being.
As the situation developed, Sun Cuifang could only advise her son to be more positive.
If he had listened to his sister, he would have been beaten less often.
After all, his sister is better at beating people than his father, at least she is less aggressive...
After solving the problem of Sun Cuifang, it will be easier to solve the problem of Zhao Chunlan.
Wang Yunyun said to Wang Shuai in one sentence: "My grandma is not at home sometimes, right? If you ask my grandma to take care of me again, I will beat you twice as much."
Wang Shuai obediently accepted his fate and brainwashed himself.
At least his sister is reasonable, unlike his father who beats him without listening to any reason.
With Wang Yunyun, as long as there was a legitimate reason, you wouldn't necessarily be beaten every time.
Take the time when someone accused him of stealing a chicken, for example. After his sister asked about the situation, she didn’t beat him.
That family was known in the village for being difficult to deal with, and they often went around asking for trouble. It was possible that they had eaten the chicken themselves, and that they had done it on purpose to provoke others.
In the past, his father would definitely pick up the belt as soon as someone came to the door.
But his sister stopped his father. Wang Shuai was embarrassed to say it, but he felt that his sister was simply shining that day.
"If it was really done by Wang Shuai, I would have beaten him up without you telling me, but if it wasn't done by him, you can't just deny it, right?"
"I know my brother. I agree that he is a sly person, but if he does something, he can't hide it for more than three days. If he says it's not true, then it's not true."
From then on, Marshal Wang felt much calmer whenever he was beaten.
…
Jian Li was very happy. The two of them walked not far with the watermelon when they ran into Wang Yunyun who was returning from the county town.
Wang Yunyun had a few books in her basket. She smiled when she saw Jian Li and said, "I thought you would arrive at noon."
Jian Li exclaimed in admiration and circled around Wang Yunyun several times.
"Sister, how does it feel to hit your brother?"
Wang Yunyun thought that it was Wang Shuai who made a complaint, and her eyes instantly turned cold.
Just a glance and Marshal Wang was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his back.
Wang Yunyun was too lazy to bother with her naughty brother and just pulled Jian Li away.
"Don't listen to his exaggerations. I had legitimate reasons to beat him up."
Wang Shuai was standing at the back, and after a long pause, he finally interrupted, "...Sister, do you want to eat fish? I'll go to Shitou's and buy two."
Wang Yunyun took out five yuan from her pocket and threw it to him: "Go, pick two big ones."
Wang Shuai took the money happily, and said, "Okay!"
Jian Li quietly asked Wang Yunyun: "What's wrong with you? Did you confiscate the money you gave him?"
Wang Yunyun: "No, I opened a passbook for him, and I have the passbook in my hands."
Jian Li gave a thumbs up, no wonder Wang Shuai was so honest.
It turns out that his financial lifeline is in his control.
Wang Yunyun is now a wealthy woman. She is not greedy for her brother's money. She made a life deposit in Wang Shuai's passbook in front of him.
Unable to withdraw the money, Wang Shuai returned to poverty overnight. Apart from running errands for his sister to earn money, he usually only made a little money by secretly selling snacks and toys at school.
Jian Li looked at Wang Yunyun carefully. Now Wang Yunyun's face was bright and she no longer had the lingering sadness between her brows from her previous life.
All good.
When asked again, Wang Yunyun talked about how she submitted her papers this semester.
"I have a contract with a magazine and am writing a series now."
Wang Yunyun had a lot of things in her heart, but she could only tell Jian Li.
"I've already finished writing the first book. The results weren't very good, but the editor still asked me to write the second one."
The road became clearer and clearer, and Wang Yunyun finally found her interest: she liked writing novels.
Although the performance of the first book was average, she gained a lot of experience. Wang Yunyun is a patient person. After reflection, she signed the contract for the second serial and planned to continue writing well.
Jian Li gave a thumbs up.
Her sister is awesome, her action ability is really great.
The two of them pushed the cart into the house and just in time heard the second aunt and second uncle loudly praising her son for his good estimate.
"Chengcai can at least get over 400 points. I have inquired and there are not many people who can leave our school this year. Chengcai has a spot on the board!"
Li Xia couldn't wait for Wang Mengmei and her husband to come back. When the whole family was together, it was time for her to perform.
Wang Chengcai is a senior this year, and his grades are average in the town, but in Li Xia's words, 29th place is in the top 20, and the top 20 is not much different from the top 10, so rounding it off means he is in the top few in the class.
Wang Chengcai, who was among the top students in the class, performed well this year and got the highest score in history. Li Xia was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
She was more reserved in public, but she didn't have such worries in front of her sisters-in-law and elder sister-in-law.
Blow, blow hard!
Li Xia said proudly: "I told Chengcai that with our scores, we should try to get into the provincial university..."
Jian Li: ...
Last year, the country announced the news about the construction of 211 universities, and the provincial university was the only one in the province selected.
In his previous life, Wang Chengcai's grades were not even good enough to get into the most basic undergraduate program. My second aunt is also a boaster.
Li Xia's mouth was dry from blowing, so she took a big gulp of water. Then she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Wang Menglan how many points Qian Ping estimated.
Qian Jin did not come back today. Only Wang Menglan brought her daughter back to celebrate the old man's birthday. Hearing this, Wang Menglan could no longer hold back the smile that she had just managed to maintain.
Qian Ping didn't tell her her aspirations. She estimated her own score and signed up silently.
Wang Menglan felt very nervous, thinking that her daughter must have felt that she did not do well in the exam, so she did not say anything.
Yes, it didn’t work in the first two years. Can it be turned around in just one year?
"She is just like that. I have already said that the good and bad things will only happen this year. Can we let her suffer year after year?"
This is exactly what Li Xia wanted to hear.
She immediately said earnestly: "Pingping, your mother is right, you have to think carefully. Look at how much energy you have wasted this year, and how much trouble you have caused your aunt..."
At this point, Li Xia couldn't help but feel aggrieved and spoke in a sour tone.
They were clearly in the same relationship, but why did Wang Mengmei send Qian Ping to the city alone? Qian Ping's last name was not Wang!
"…your aunt loves you so much, just listen to your second aunt's advice, even if it doesn't work out, don't try to get back together. When will this end, year after year?"
Qian Ping glanced at Second Aunt indifferently.
She wanted to say that she estimated her score to be more than 580. The school teacher helped her choose her aspirations this time. In addition to the provincial university, she also applied to a local medical university and a traditional Chinese medicine university in another province.
After this exam, Qian Ping was not as anxious as before.
She had a new understanding of her own abilities and knew that she would be admitted this time.
Li Xia was still chattering about "for her own good".
Qian Ping's heart, which had originally wanted to explain, gradually calmed down.
No matter what Li Xia said, Qian Ping remained silent.
Li Xia finished her meal, put down her bowl and said she was going back to school.
"I have classes this afternoon."
When she arrived at school, Li Xia talked about Qian Ping to everyone she met.
"She's the daughter of my husband's eldest sister, the one who ranked first in our school a few years ago!"
"Tsk tsk, I took the exam again and again, and last year I spent a lot of money to go to school in the city."
"What's good about that? At that time, I told her not to choose science. Look, I was right. Girls show their true colors when they reach the third year of high school. They do worse and worse in exams."
“I think this year will be the same.”
…
Li Xia went into the classroom and shouted twice to get the students to be quiet: "Today's class is for self-study."
Then she went straight to the office and complained to other teachers about her in-laws.
Someone who likes to gossip about this made a joke: "Who knows, maybe he'll be lucky this year."
Math is difficult this year, and everyone expects the score line to drop.
Li Xia laughed out loud: "What kind of luck is that? She is so lucky to be admitted to a junior college."
"If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. She will definitely go to work in the end."
The colleagues laughed and made a few lively remarks, but no one responded to what Li Xia said.
Some people secretly sneered, thinking that Li Xia simply didn't know what she was talking about.
Instead of wishing good things for others, one's own relatives are constantly criticizing others outside.
"He's a fool."
*****
Wang Mengmei's family came and left on the same day. Zhao Chunlan asked her second daughter to give her a bath and wash her hair, and then cut her nails while they sat in the sun.
Zhao Chunlan looked at Wang Mengmei's expression and asked her many questions.
"Is your store busy lately?"
Wang Mengmei concentrated on cutting her nails: "Busy."
As summer was approaching, the factory installed electric poles on the street leading to the vegetable market. When the street lights came on at night, vendors came to set up stalls to sell small items.
As a result, the business of shops along the entire street has improved a lot.
Wang Mengmei bought seven or eight folding tables and small stools, so that several tables could be seated outside in the evening.
But then she would be short of manpower again.
Wang Mengmei calculated the income and expenditure and planned to hire another handyman.
Zhao Chunlan's eyes turned and she said, "Why bother with that? Can't I just go and help you?"
Wang Mengmei paused as she was cutting her nails.
Zhao Chunlan thought she had come up with a good idea: "Look how busy you are with your business. Does Xiaoli have no one to take care of her? I can go there and lend a hand. I am not very skilled, but I can still take care of someone for you."
The more Zhao Chunlan thought about it, the more she felt it was right: "Don't spend all your time on your store. Xiaoli is already thirteen or fourteen years old. You should also plan for your future."
She lowered her voice and said, "I heard that the family planning inspections are not strict this year. Someone in your uncle's cousin's village secretly had their IUD removed. I would say that you should discuss it with Jian Feng. When you get pregnant, you can live there. When the situation is not so serious, you can bring the child back."
"Don't be stupid. You can always make money. You have to have a future."
Wang Mengmei frowned: "I'm going to give birth, what will happen to my shop? And Xiaoli?"
Zhao Chunlan: "Don't worry about this."
Zhao Chunlan said, "You go and do your own thing, I'll look after the store for you. If you can't handle it, don't we still have Yuedong and his wife?"
Wang Mengmei's face turned unhappy and she threw the nail clippers in her hand away.
"Why are you thinking of asking my brother to take over my family's things when I haven't even become successful yet?"
