Li Xiyue looked at Li Xiulan in surprise. Two seconds later, she realized she hadn't misheard!
Given Mu Jiuhong and Mu Jiuchun's character, what is there that they wouldn't do?
She said, "Don't worry, there are too many people here. I'll take you out and help you figure something out!"
In this day and age, even a quarrel can draw a large crowd, so when Li Xiulan started crying, people immediately surrounded her.
There were too many people, so she couldn't say anything to Li Xiulan.
She led Li Xiulan through the crowd and went to ask Du Jingshan for leave.
There was no other way; it was class time, and she couldn't leave the school without permission.
She knocked on Du Jingshan's door, and Du Jingshan's voice came from inside, "Come in!"
Upon hearing Du Jingshan's voice, Li Xiyue habitually rolled her eyes.
It's true what they say: when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.
She pushed open the door and went in, saying, "Report! I need to take a day off."
Du Jingshan sat behind his desk, writing his lesson plan. He looked up at Li Xiyue, his gaze extremely deep, as if he could see right through her.
He said, "Take a day off? Why?"
Li Xiyue said, "I have something to do. There's something going on at home, and I need to go back and take care of it."
Du Jingshan asked, "What is it?"
Li Xiyue's lips twitched slightly. She walked to the opposite side of Du Jingshan's desk and said in a low voice, "Mu Cangnan's sister kicked his mother out. I need to help get the house back."
Du Jingshan said, "Is the Mu family's business your business? You're married, you've married into that family."
"You're not married yet, and you're already dealing with the Mu family's affairs. Are you alright?"
Li Xiyue's lips twitched slightly. "I only asked for one day off, what do you mean? You're not approving my leave?"
Du Jingshan said, "As a student, you should focus all your energy on your studies."
Also, the Mu family's affairs are none of your business; let them handle them themselves.
Li Xiyue turned and left, saying, "I've already asked for leave, approve it or not, it's none of your business! I'm always first in the grade in every exam, it's none of your business!"
She left with those words, turned and walked out of the office, taking Li Xiulan's hand with her.
Du Jingshan was so angry he almost choked. He stood up and chased after her, saying, "Li Xiyue! Is this what you call asking for leave?!"
Li Xiyue didn't even turn her head, just waved her hand and said, "Yes!"
Whether she asks for leave or not is her business, whether her leave is approved or not is Du Jingshan's business. Sorry, she's not going to serve him anymore!
Li Xiulan had been outside the office the whole time and didn't know what was being said inside, but she noticed that Li Xiyue and Du Jingshan's tone of voice sounded a bit off.
She asked, "Yue'er, is it because your teacher won't let you take leave? It's all my fault for being so flustered and forgetting that you still have class."
My family's affairs aren't urgent. You go to class first, and we'll talk after school!
Li Xiyue said, "It's okay, I know all the lessons I'm taught at school. Sitting here is just a waste of time, let's go!"
Without a word, she pulled Li Xiulan downstairs. Since she couldn't use the spatial passage with Li Xiulan, she had no choice but to obediently open her bicycle and carry Li Xiulan back to her home.
Cheng Xiaohui was busy selling calendars at home when she unexpectedly saw Li Xiyue and Li Xiulan walk in.
She hurriedly stood up and said, "Yue'er, what's wrong... what's wrong... you should go back to your room first!"
There were a bunch of people around her buying calendars, and there were some things she couldn't ask, for fear that the neighbors would overhear a few words and gossip about her family!
Li Xiyue nodded and led Li Xiulan back to her room first.
Cheng Xiaohui handed over the bookkeeping and money collection work to Li Wenbo, and went to Li Xiyue's room to ask about the situation.
She entered the room, closed the door behind her, and said in a low voice, "Yue'er, why did you bring her back? Aren't you afraid the neighbors will gossip?! I haven't agreed to your relationship with Mu Cangnan yet!"
Li Xiulan wiped away her tears and said, "Sister, I've caused your family so much trouble. I really had no other choice..."
My two daughters took my house and kicked me out..."
She choked up more and more as she spoke, and eventually couldn't say anything at all.
This is a family scandal, but she has no choice. Now, apart from Li Xiyue, she can't find anyone else to help her.
Cheng Xiaohui was surprised; she never expected something like this to happen to the Mu family!
Li Xiyue said, "Mom, I know you're worried about what the neighbors will say, but now is not the time to think about that. We need to help Auntie get the house back first!"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "Don't even mention that I haven't agreed to your relationship with Mu Cangnan. Even if I did, you would still just be Mu Cangnan's girlfriend."
"With your status, how can you help her get the house back?! This is a matter between her and her own daughter!"
She had to remind her daughter that her daughter had no right to interfere in this matter.
Li Xiyue said, "Mom, even if it's a complete stranger, shouldn't we lend a hand if we can?"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "She'd be better off as a complete stranger. If she helped like that, no one would gossip. But your current situation is too awkward!"
She stepped forward and said to Li Xiulan, "Elder sister, it's not that we're heartless and don't want to help you, it's just that Yue'er really shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter!"
Li Xiulan nodded tearfully and said, "It's my fault. I was so panicked that I couldn't think of anyone else who could help me..."
I...I'll leave now...I won't cause any more trouble for your family."
Li Xiyue grabbed Li Xiulan's arm and said to her mother, "Mom, you can't say that. Are you really going to just let her sleep on the street?!"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "Isn't Mu Cangnan in the hospital? I'll have your dad take her to the hospital, the police station, or anywhere else!"
Li Xiyue could clearly see that her mother was strongly against her getting involved in this matter, so she said, "I'll take it myself."
Li Xiulan said, "No need, I can go to the police station by myself, you..."
Before Li Xiulan could finish speaking, Li Xiyue pulled her outside.
Cheng Xiaohui hurriedly went to call Li Wenbo. She didn't dare to say too much in front of the neighbors, but whispered in Li Wenbo's ear, "Take Li Xiulan to the police station, don't let Yue'er take her!"
She gave Li Wenbo a knowing look!
Li Wenbo nodded slightly and immediately got up to chase after him.
However, when he chased after them, he found that Li Xiulan and Li Xiyue were nowhere to be seen in the alley.
Where did those two people go?
Mibao said in the space, "Your dad came after you! Luckily you turned into the alley."
Li Xiyue said, "I never expected that my mother could be so cold-blooded."
Mi Bao said, "Your mother thinks too much. She's afraid that if you get involved in the Mu family's affairs, people will talk behind your back."
Li Xiulan wiped away tears as she walked, repeatedly apologizing to Li Xiyue, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble. You should go back to school. I'll go to the police station by myself!"
Li Xiyue said, "The police station can't handle this kind of thing. I'll take you somewhere!"
