Chapter 87
The fact that Lin Shuyao had a boyfriend broke the hearts of the boys.
And Lin Shuyao’s boyfriend is in this school!
Cheng Yu was convinced. Although the Provincial Experimental School did not crack down on premature love as strictly as No. 1 Middle School, it had only been a short time since the start of the school year!
"Didn't Lin Shuyao say she was a transfer student?"
Jian Li: "Maybe they started dating in middle school."
Jian Li had a pair of classmates in her previous life. They dated from junior high school to college and got married upon graduation. They were a model of campus couples. Before Jian Li's sudden death, she attended the wedding of the model couple's third child. When she got home, she was scolded by Wang Mengmei for the whole afternoon.
"Look at their efficiency, then look at you."
Jian Li was so angry that she replied, "You didn't call me a premature lover before."
Wang Mengmei was speechless and could only force an explanation: "Don't you see how much you weighed in high school?"
With just one sentence, Jian Li and Wang Mengmei were both furious and ignored each other for a month...
Now when she thinks back on her past life, Jian Li's memories have become a lot more blurred. She only remembers attending the wedding banquet and her classmates were envious of the couple's happy life.
"If we had known this earlier, we should have talked to someone sooner. It would have provided us with a solid emotional foundation."
"Can they talk whenever they want? It all depends on luck!"
"I feel like I have become a passerby NPC in someone else's sweet campus novel. The sweet love belongs to someone else."
…
Jian Li thought back to her classmates. Since they chose different schools, she was afraid that they would never meet again in this life...
On the other hand, after Lin Shuyao said that she had a boyfriend, her boyfriend appeared outside the classroom door after school that afternoon.
only……
Cheng Yu poked Jian Li's arm: "Lin Shuyao's boyfriend... is so fierce."
He was tall and had broad shoulders. When he took Lin Shuyao's schoolbag, he could see the bulging muscles on his shoulders...
There was also an expression of impatience between his eyebrows.
Cheng Yu couldn't understand: "Lin Shuyao looks like a good student! Why would she hang out with such a... second-rate guy!"
"How can that man be worthy of her!"
Although his name is not yet known, Lin Shuyao’s boyfriend has been promoted to “that guy”.
Jian Li: "Do you like her again now?"
Cheng Yu has been nagging Jian Li these past few days that she must not lose to Lin Shuyao. She goesssips about her all the time and thinks Lin Shuyao is "pretending".
Now, just seeing “that man”, I feel sorry for Lin Shuyao again.
Cheng Yu felt a little uncomfortable: "No, I just think she must have some unspeakable secrets. Maybe the other party is setting her up..."
The bell rang, Jian Li packed her schoolbag and patted her head: "Stop reading romance novels!"
Jian Li said hello to Cheng Yu and said that she would not be attending evening self-study and was going home. Not long after she walked out of the classroom, she saw Lin Shuyao and her boyfriend in front of her.
The two walked side by side, the boy held Lin Shuyao's schoolbag while Lin Shuyao said something.
Jian Li sighed and said how great it was to be young, then accelerated to overtake the other person.
The moment she turned sideways, Lin Shuyao saw Jian Li and called her name.
Jian Li stopped the car and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lin Shuyao took a few quick steps, and her pale cheeks became puffy.
"Student Jian Li, this is back to you."
Lin Shuyao's boyfriend took out a pink sanitary napkin from his schoolbag and handed it to her with a sour look on his face.
Jian Li: ...
Lin Shuyao explained a little nervously: "I didn't return it to you two days ago because I forgot what brand you lent me. Classmate Jian Li, do you mind?"
Jian Li: “…I don’t mind.”
Lin Shuyao smiled and said, "That's good. Thank you, classmate Jian Li! You are such a good person."
Jian Li: ...I suddenly understand why the boys in the class like Lin Shuyao. Who wouldn't like such a gentle girl?
With this feeling, Jian Li also had some opinions about the sullen-faced boy next to her who was silent.
What are you so proud of when you have such a beautiful and lovely girlfriend!
Jian Li rode away angrily on her bike.
Lin Shuyao behind her happily hung her schoolbag back on her boyfriend.
The boyfriend's voice was filled with grievance: "Yaoyao, I think your friend doesn't like me. She glared at me before she left just now."
Lin Shuyao, who was accused, said: "Ah? Really? Don't worry too much."
“Obviously.”
Lin Shuyao stopped and thought for a moment: "It must be because your face is too stinky, so she glared at you."
The boy felt even more aggrieved: "I didn't. I just smiled."
Lin Shuyao: "You don't look good when you smile, so stop smiling. Next time you meet my friends, just talk. We'll always talk, right?"
"What did I say?"
Lin Shuyao tilted her head: "That's it... that's it! Just agree with whatever I say!"
*****
Jian Li returned home and took the dog for a walk. When they were almost done walking, they went to a restaurant with the dog.
After tying Wang Facai outside the door, Jian Li went to look for her mother first when she entered the house.
As a result, Wang Mengmei was not there.
Ni Hao wiped his hands on his apron and walked out of the kitchen: "Master has an appointment to go shopping today and hasn't come back yet. Xiaoli, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Wang Mengmei has been very close to Lin Hui recently. The two of them always go out together, sometimes shopping and sometimes going to see decorations.
The house that Lin Hui bought was in the alley directly opposite the Provincial Experimental School. It was a two-story building with good lighting. Wang Mengmei liked it the first time she went there. She talked about it many times after she came back.
"There is a small yard of about 10 square meters, and there is an osmanthus tree planted in the yard. People say that this is called winning the laurel in the palace of toad! It is a good omen. The first floor is the kitchen, bathroom and a bedroom, and there are two more bedrooms on the second floor. The lighting is very good. Other people's houses block the light, but this house does not block the light at all. The third floor can also be reached. Sister Lin said that a solar water heater will be installed on the third floor..."
The house that Lin Hui bought had all the water, electricity, and sewer systems installed, so Lin Hui only needed to buy some furniture and appliances.
Wang Mengmei is busy at mealtime every day, and has a lot of free time after mealtime, so every time Lin Hui calls her, she will go with her to look at furniture.
Wang Mengmei adjusted her mentality quickly. She quickly accepted the fact that her family could not afford such an expensive house, and did not show any dissatisfaction or jealousy in front of Lin Hui.
This made Lin Hui think highly of her. When she got home, she told Kong Guorong, "Jian Feng married a good wife. She is both capable and sensible."
Lin Hui and Kong Guorong were also people who had experienced hard times. After they became rich, their former relatives and friends were no longer relatives or friends, but creditors. They asked for money from everyone, and the amount they borrowed was often 30,000 or 50,000 yuan.
Lin Hui sometimes didn't understand how these people could ask for such a large sum of money when they could barely make 10,000 yuan a year.
Lin Hui refused to lend money, but instead aroused resentment. People kept saying that they were so rich, so why couldn't they help their relatives.
Lin Hui was angry. There was a lot of money out there, but these people only cared about their own people's pockets.
He has no ability, but he is very cunning.
Wang Mengmei is nothing like that. No matter how much money others have, she is just envious rather than jealous. She earns money in a down-to-earth manner, and the family of three does not fall behind. Both the man and the woman are down-to-earth, and the daughter also learns to be an employee.
This is a sign of a prosperous family.
Lin Hui wanted to spend more time with Wang Mengmei, and Wang Mengmei felt that she could learn a lot from Lin Hui.
Lin Hui trades in stocks and has also taken accounting exams for her own business and obtained a driver's license.
In Wang Mengmei's eyes, Lin Hui is a type she has never come into contact with before.
When she was working in the cotton spinning factory, even though Li Lijuan's family was so well off, she was just lending money outside to speculate in currencies, and even then she was already considered the most capable woman in the compound.
The so-called "capable of taking on responsibilities" means that this woman can not only take care of everything at home, but also have a say outside.
Li Lijuan found someone to lend money to others, and she had close relationships with many people. She would always invite them to dinner parties. Some women in the compound thought she was restless, while others envied her for being rich.
But Wang Mengmei has always envied Li Lijuan for living an "independent" life.
This independence does not come from anything else, but rather from the fact that she can have her own "arena" outside of the family.
Li Lijuan once complained about the difficulty of doing these things: "They are all quick-witted and can easily fall into someone's trap if you are not careful."
Wang Mengmei saw it clearly. When Li Lijuan said this, three parts of her was genuine worry, and seven parts was high-spiritedness.
She also saw this kind of fighting spirit in Lin Hui.
Lin Hui takes care of her two children and is busy with the store's accounts. In her spare time, she drives to do renovation work.
Even Lin Hui has her own phone number and trades stocks...
Wang Mengmei regards Lin Hui as her future goal.
The two of them went shopping for the whole afternoon. Wang Mengmei bought a wool sweater for Jian Li. When they arrived at the store, they saw Jian Li eating noodles. Since there were not many customers, she pulled Jian Li over and asked to compete with her.
"It's going to get cold soon, so this is perfect to wear."
When Jian Li saw that the pattern was not the bright red or large florals that Wang Mengmei had always liked, but a beige half-high collar, she liked it immediately.
Wang Mengmei put it away with satisfaction: "It's the perfect size. I don't need to change it tomorrow."
Guests came one after another, and Wang Mengmei drove Jian Li home: "Do your homework early, don't stay up any longer."
Jian Li hummed, found a small bag and put the meat bones that had been reserved in the kitchen for the customers.
"Make a fortune, let's go home!"
It started raining not long after Jian Li left, and when it rained, there were fewer customers.
Wang Mengmei asked Ni Hao and Xue Ling to clear the table in advance: "We will close at nine o'clock."
When it's not raining, the shop can be open until around 10 o'clock in the evening. But when it rains, Wang Mengmei doesn't want to wait any longer and simply closes early.
Xue Ling approached Wang Mengmei, who was counting money at the counter, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, what happened to Ni Hao? I greeted him today, but he ignored me."
A whole day had passed, and apart from the two sentences that Jian Li said when she came, there was no further news.
I don’t know who offended him.
Xue Ling felt a little aggrieved: "Could it be because I miscalculated yesterday?"
She didn't mean to do that. And what happened yesterday? Why is he getting angry today?
Wang Mengmei: "No, it's not because of you."
Xue Ling: "Why is that? Boss, I can't do my job when he does this. Can't you just tell me what's wrong? I can't stand him venting his anger like this."
Wang Mengmei hurriedly comforted her: "Don't take it to heart... He had some problems at his girlfriend's house these days, and I went back to talk to him. He wasn't angry, he was just upset."
