The exam was on the fifth day after Jiang Hua returned.
Because she had to go to work, Bu Ling missed a grand send-off ceremony and a tearful embrace. To her dismay, Wu Yuanyuan's thighs were swollen from slapping.
Well, according to Aunt Tian, it wasn't just people from their alley who took the exam this time; the children of factory leaders also participated.
After all, the job that Engineer Qi was going to give Qi Yuhuai was an office job, and an accountant job at that. How could that not be exciting?
So even though no one publicized it, the day of the exam was so crowded that it was impossible to describe it as a sea of people. Aunt Tian said that as far as she knew, there were not only the factory director's granddaughter, but also the deputy factory director's nephew, the logistics director's niece, and so on.
This greatly reduced the chances of passing the exam. According to Aunt Lan, Jiang Hua's face was pale when he came back, and Aunt Shen was also sighing. It was clear that he did not do well on the exam.
When Buling heard the news, she almost wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate. She was also very disappointed to have missed Jiang Hua's dark moment. How should she put it? She still hadn't gotten revenge for all the insults she had heard from Jiang Shitou!
So, that evening, Bu Ling strolled over to the backyard and stood at Wu Yuanyuan's door, loudly gossiping: "Yuanyuan, have you heard?"
"What?" Wu Yuanyuan was definitely not playing the straight man.
"I heard that Factory Director Yu's granddaughter is a top student; she got first place every year in school!" Bu Ling's voice was louder than usual. In reality, she had no idea how well the factory director's daughter did academically; she was just saying it casually to provoke Jiang Hua.
“That’s true. She’s my classmate, and she’s an excellent student,” Wu Yuanyuan chimed in.
Bu Ling gave Wu Yuanyuan an approving look and pressed on: "Then this accounting job is most likely to be hers!" she exclaimed loudly.
Wu Yuanyuan wasn't stupid; she saw through Buling's intentions by now. However, she was happy to cooperate, since Buling wasn't the only one with a grudge against Jiang Hua: "Where else? There's also the deputy factory director's nephew. He just graduated this year, only a month ago. His knowledge is still fresh, so his chances aren't small either!"
"What about the logistics director's niece? How's her studies?" Bu Ling asked again, while glancing at Aunt Shen's house door.
“Oh, I don’t know, but my father-in-law told me that her mother is a teacher!” Wu Yuanyuan replied loudly.
"So, it seems like she might be one too~"
Wu Yuanyuan: "That's right, the competition is fierce!"
Bling: "Sigh~ It's all fate, we can only accept it!"
While cooking inside, Aunt Zhao listened to the two young people putting on a show at the door. It was quite amusing. This Xiao Bu was really vengeful.
Aunt Qi and her daughter were coming and going, not to mention Widow Liu, who had a grudge against Jiang Hua and Aunt Shen, and wished she could put a loudspeaker between Bu Ling and her husband.
Jiang Hua's reaction certainly didn't disappoint everyone: "Bang—crash—"
Bu Ling saw the door to Aunt Shen's house tremble, followed by the sound of porcelain shattering. He smiled with satisfaction. Serves her right, she spewed filth from her mouth!
"Oh dear~ Did Sister Jiang Hua fall down? Let's go check on her!" Bu Ling wasn't about to stop there.
Widow Liu took the lead, calling out, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you alright? Huh? Quickly tell your sister-in-law! She's gone inside!"
Just as Aunt Liu was about to ram the door, it creaked open a crack, and Aunt Shen slipped out, then closed the door behind her.
"What do you want to do?" Aunt Shen looked angrily at Widow Liu.
Widow Liu smiled faintly: "Mother-in-law, I'm just worried about my sister-in-law getting into trouble."
To protect her daughter's reputation, Aunt Shen said, "It's nothing, I just accidentally broke a bowl."
Buling interjected, "Aunt Shen, trembling hands are a medical condition; you should seek medical attention as soon as possible."
Aunt Shen truly hated Bu Ling. "What's it to you?"
"I'm just concerned about you~ You're welcome, it's what I should do as a neighbor!" Bu Ling smiled.
"It's none of your business!" Aunt Shen said angrily.
Bu Ling feigned a sigh, "You know, it's not easy being Lü Dongbin these days!" After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Aunt Shen with an infuriating back view.
Inside the house, the two sisters-in-law of the Qi family, who were observing the battle, couldn't help but admire Bu Ling. They glanced at their sister-in-law lying on the bed with her eyes lifeless and couldn't help but frown.
Since that day, my sister-in-law has been like this. No matter who talks to her, she ignores them, doesn't eat or drink, and just lies there blankly, like a mannequin.
"Sister-in-law, should we ask Sister Buling to talk to Yuhuai?" Qin Wanqing couldn't help but suggest.
She didn't have particularly deep feelings for her sister-in-law; it was just that the responsibility of taking care of her sister-in-law fell to her and her sister-in-law.
Ming Xiangru was surprised that her sister-in-law would make this suggestion.
Qin Wanqing whispered, "I just think that Sister Buling is more clear-headed than all of us."
Ming Xiangru: "You said it yourself, she's clear-headed and wouldn't want to get involved in our family's affairs."
Qin Wanqing was very disappointed, but she understood that her sister-in-law was right, so she didn't say anything more.
Jiang Hua, who was in the next room with only one wall, was crying under the covers because Bu Ling was angry. She didn't dare to cry out loud, for fear that others would laugh at her.
After dismissing the neighbors who had come to watch the commotion, Aunt Shen was heartbroken to see her precious daughter like this: "Daughter, don't cry, Mom will think of a way for you. With Mom here, I will never let you go back to the countryside again!" She promised repeatedly.
Jiang Hua threw off the covers and sat up, hugging Aunt Shen tightly: "Mom, you're all I have left!"
