Chapter 177 If I don’t help you, who will?
After the agreement was made, Li Wenxi returned home and saw Li Wenting walking out with a large bag.
Qin Lan pulled her bag to stop her and said, “You can leave tomorrow. Mom will cook you a delicious meal.”
Li Wenting looked at Li Wenxi who was just entering the house and said sarcastically, “What’s the difference between leaving today and leaving tomorrow? What’s the use of eating one more meal? It all depends on the faces of the father and daughter. In his eyes, I am no longer his daughter.” After Li Wenting finished
speaking, she waited for Qin Lan to speak. Who knew that Qin Lan didn’t speak after waiting for a long time? Turning around, she saw Qin Lan smiling at Li Wenxi flatteringly, and the hand that was originally holding her bag loosened.
Anger, loss, embarrassment, and other emotions came over her, and finally turned into a cold snort, and Li Wenting left with her bag.
Qin Lan saw Li Wenxi look at her expressionlessly and then went into the house. The smile on her face froze. She turned around and saw Li Wenting leaving. She followed and called a few words, and finally disappeared at the bend of the road.
In the evening, Qin Lan cooked a table of dishes and smiled at Li Wenxi, "I made your favorite fish with fermented bean paste."
Li Wenxi looked at Qin Lan and said, "That's Li Wenting's favorite."
"Sister loves braised pork the most." Li Wenhua, who was putting down her chopsticks, said.
Qin Lan smiled awkwardly.
The next morning, Li Wenxi got up and ran along the beach. Since she came to Beijing to participate in the competition last year, she hasn't gotten up every morning to run like this, let alone run along the beach.
Facing the warm sea breeze and watching the slowly rising sun, Li Wenxi opened her hands while running and looked up to feel the beauty of the moment.
Acquaintances greeted her along the way.
"Xiaoxi is back."
"Xiaoxi, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Li Wenxi greeted them with a smile while running.
In the middle, she also stopped by the cafeteria to buy some fried dough sticks and potato cakes. She hadn't eaten them for a long time and missed them.
Li Wenxi returned home early with an oil paper bag and saw many people standing in the yard.
Seeing her coming, people gathered around her again.
"Hey, Xiaoxi, I heard from your mother that you have been recommended to Tsinghua University?"
"That's amazing. I heard that you don't even need to take the college entrance examination to go to Tsinghua University. I have never heard of such a good thing."
"I said that Xiaoxi would be amazing in the future, and now she is amazing. She is the only one on our island who was admitted to Tsinghua University."
Someone else said to Qin Lan: "Xiao Qin, your family is really talented. Both your sons and daughters are so good at studying."
"They are a smart couple, and their children are also smart and good at studying."
Qin Lan was very happy to hear this, "I hope they will study well, and I have been watching them since they were young. Normally, I don't let them do any work so that they can study hard."
The two military wives who had conflicts with Qin Lan looked at each other and said with a pout, "Then why did you want Xiaoxi to join the army that year? It was because Xiaoxi insisted on studying that he didn't go. People rely on themselves. Look, Xiaoxi relied on herself to get into Tsinghua University." It has nothing to do with you, Qin Lan.
Another one echoed, "I think so too. Didn't you say Xiaoxi was a distant relative of your Li family who came to stay here? Now we know that she was a daughter of your family who was swapped for more than ten years. Some people like to pick ready-made peaches."
Qin Lan's face turned red, but she had nothing to say.
Li Wenxi naturally didn't speak for Qin Lan. She was pulled by a group of aunts to ask how she was recommended and how she could go to Tsinghua University without taking the college entrance examination.
Li Wenxi patiently explained the matter of the mathematics competition.
Zhu Cao, who had been listening nearby, asked hurriedly, "Can my son also participate in this kind of competition?"
"That depends on the school."
Someone nearby laughed at Zhu Cao, "Your son Jiang Chengzhi's math grades are worse than my son's. His scores are always in the single digits, and he still participates in math competitions. This is so funny."
Zhu Cao was unhappy, "He's just bad now. Boys tend to learn slowly, but his grades will naturally improve in the future. Xiaoxi, you have to teach our Chengzhi math. Anyway, you don't have to take the college entrance examination now, and you have plenty of time."
"Mom, your aunt called and is looking for you." Jiang Li nearby suddenly shouted over here.
Zhu Cao had no choice but to hurry back. She entered the main room and shouted, "I'm coming."
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Jiang Li saying, "Mom, don't say offensive words all the time. Sister Xiaoxi has to help you teach me when she has time. Even a Bodhisattva in my head can't teach me."
Zhu Cao realized that Jiang Li was lying to her and poked her head with her finger, "How can you lie to your mother like you? Be careful of being struck by lightning."
Jiang Li snorted, "I'm not lying to you. Sister Xiaoxi won't care about me anymore in the future."
Zhu Cao said, "You selfish ghost, it turns out that she is doing it for yourself. She usually teaches you to do the questions, why can't she teach Chengzhi?"
"How can it be the same? I was asking Sister Xiaoxi to help me with questions that she didn't know, and you were asking someone to help you raise a son who would be educated at Tsinghua University."
Li Wenxi naturally didn't know about the quarrel between the mother and daughter next door because of her. After finally sending away a whole yard of people and sitting down to eat the already cold fried dough sticks, another group of people came.
This continued for two days.
The next day, after Li Wenxi finished lunch, he quickly called Li Wenhua and Zhang Shulan to prepare to sneak back to Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School.
Qin Lan looked at her for several times, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Finally, when she was about to leave, she smiled and handed her two yuan: "Buy whatever you want to eat at school."
Li Wenxi glanced at her, took the money and put it in her pocket, picked up her bag and was about to leave, but was stopped again: "When is the parents' meeting that your teacher Xu mentioned? I can also prepare."
Li Wenxi looked at Qin Lan and said: "I won't bother you with my parents' meeting." Qin Lan immediately
became anxious: "Your father will be away at sea next week. If I don't help you, who will?"
Li Wenxi smiled and said: "Teacher Zhao will help me." Sure enough, Qin Lan's face changed drastically.
"How can Teacher Zhao be your parent? Teacher Xu told me to go." Qin Lan shouted at the top of her voice.
"In my heart, Teacher Zhao is my parent. Teacher Xu doesn't understand our family situation, but you understand it either? What will you say if you go to my parents? How come you and I don't get along?"
Finally, Li Wenhua tiptoed past the trembling Qin Lan with her bag, then ran out behind Li Wenxi.
On the ship, Zhang Shulan listened to Li Wenhua's vivid description of the scene just now, then looked at Li Wenxi with a calm face and smiled: "This has just begun, your mother will only regret it more and more in the future. It seems that the best way to take revenge on such relatives is to become stronger and then ignore them. This makes them more painful than anything else."
She looked at the distant sea and thought: "It seems that I have to do the same to my father. I used to hate him often, but now I think I don't need to hate him at all, it's too energy-consuming. But I still have to take the money I deserve."
Li Wenhua shrank his shoulders: "I will never offend you in the future." Then he was beaten by his two sisters.
