The National Day holiday was over. Zhang Huan went out and had fun with some young lover, but when he came back he was grabbed by the old lady.
The old lady was kind to her granddaughters, but not so polite to her son: "Keep your wife under control, don't let her annoy my granddaughter all day long!"
Zhang Huan felt particularly guilty after the incident with Liang Zheng a while ago. He said humbly, "She wouldn't dare! If anyone dares to treat my daughter badly, I'll tell her to get out!" The old lady rolled her eyes and said, "We shouldn't have let her in in the first place."
Zhang Huan smiled awkwardly. He secretly observed the old lady, and felt relieved when he saw that she didn't seem to know about Liang Zheng's affairs.
"Yanyan is very sensible now." He exaggerated his voice in front of his mother. "She knows how to study and take care of her younger brothers and sisters. Now Hehe and Shuoshuo listen to her very well." Therefore, his family life recently has been particularly harmonious and happy, which makes people feel happy.
Unexpectedly, the old lady flew into a rage and slapped him on the head: "Isn't that something that you, as a father, should take care of? You threw it all to Yanyan, and you still have the nerve to say that! You can't have a good holiday, but Yanyan can't have fun. She has to take care of the two little ones for you! She also has to be filial to me for you! I gave birth to you in vain, and you are not as good as my granddaughter who thinks about me!"
"I'm thinking about you, thinking about you. You don't dislike me and want me to stop bothering you." Zhang Huan rubbed the back of his head. "I didn't let Yanyan look after her brothers and sisters. Isn't there an aunt at home?"
The old lady slapped him again: "Auntie? Have you forgotten when you were a kid, that auntie stabbed you with a needle when I went to the company! Yanyan didn't dare to leave Hehe and Shuoshuo to the auntie, and she brought the two little ones with her when she came to see me. You two are so good, you disappeared as soon as the holidays came."
The incident that happened when Zhang Huan was a child was told to the old lady by his aunt for many years, and the old lady still feels resentful about it. So Zhang Yansheng was worried about his younger siblings and took them with him to take care of them, which really made the old lady feel relieved.
"Yanyan is a child who has a hard face but a soft heart. At her age, she is in adolescence and has a bad temper. Tell Liang to stop provoking her, and be gentle when speaking to her. She looks grown up, but she is still a child and needs adults to care about her. Don't think she is sensible and just throw your hands up and ignore everything. If you act like this as a father, you will get your comeuppance in the future."
They didn't know that in another life, the old lady's words came true.
Zhang Huan said awkwardly, "I haven't given up yet. I'm still in charge."
The old lady snorted. She knew her own son well, so she didn't believe him. She had found out everything from Zhang Heling. Zhang Yansheng had grown up, so it would have been fine if Zhang Huan didn't care about his studies. But Zhang Heling was still an elementary school student, so Zhang Huan didn't care either. It all depended on Zhang Heling's self-awareness.
As for Zhang Shuocheng, he was suppressed by Zhang Yansheng. But Zhang Yansheng would not take the trouble to personally supervise his studies. Her granddaughter is very good at using people - she asked Zhang Heling to be responsible for Zhang Shuocheng's studies.
They are not born from the same mother. If Zhang Yansheng really works as hard as a workhorse to take care of Zhang Shuocheng, the old lady will feel uncomfortable.
The old lady herself is a person who dares to love and hate, and she can't stand the saintly woman. If Zhang Yansheng didn't get along well with his stepson and stepsister, the old lady would sigh but would not blame Zhang Yansheng. If Zhang Yansheng was too saintly, the old lady would find it hard to accept it.
It's just right like now. Zhang Yansheng makes the rules and makes good use of Zhang Heling's labor force - after all, Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng are real siblings, and then Zhang Yansheng is only responsible for punishing those who don't follow the rules.
Under her intimidation, Zhang Shuocheng dared not disobey Zhang Heling.
That's good.
The house is no longer noisy and chaotic. Everyone is living in peace and quiet, and it feels like a home.
But this has nothing to do with her shitty son, it’s all thanks to her granddaughter!
"I will give Yanyan three times the pocket money now!" Zhang Huan swore, "Qiqi and Xiaolin definitely don't have that much!"
The old lady scolded, "That's what Yanyan deserves! You've done all the things you should have done and worried about, but Yanyan is so tired. How dare you say that to her? If Yanyan hadn't been so sensible now, you would have married a troublemaker, and your family would be in such a mess!"
Zhang Huan was embarrassed. Anyway, he can never get anything good in front of his biological mother. When Zhang Yansheng's mother was alive, her biological mother would only treat him well because she won the favor of her mother-in-law. Later, Liang Yingying was no longer pleasing to her mother, and she also made him lose her favor.
After the old lady had scolded herself to her heart's content, she got to the point.
"Yanyan is at a very sensitive age now, you need to pay more attention to her." She said, "I talked to her the other day, this child is very confused now. I thought about it, it's useless to say so many empty words to her, you need to take her to see more of the world. You can learn knowledge in school, but you can't learn experience. She needs to see what's outside the school more, so that she can know what she wants to do in the future and what she wants to become."
The relationship between father and daughter has been strained in the past few years, and Zhang Huan has rarely traveled alone with Zhang Yansheng. After being scolded by the old lady, his little conscience was activated again.
"Okay, I understand." He agreed, "I'll check back and communicate with her more."
Zhang Yansheng didn't know that her grandmother had a long talk with her father about her growth. During the holiday, she opened her heart to the old lady and told her about her confusion. The old lady said: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Why worry about the unknown 'future'? Just do what you should do now."
Zhang Yansheng felt that what the old lady said was very down to earth. If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it, just do it first.
The holidays are over and it's time to wear school uniforms and go back to school.
The uniforms at No. 1 Middle School are just as ugly as those at all other public schools. But the more this kind of clothes there are, the more they can compare the appearance.
When Zhang Yansheng entered the classroom early in the morning, everyone's eyes lit up and they all greeted her and said good morning.
Zhang Yansheng didn't travel anywhere during this holiday. He watched his old lady recuperating leisurely in the mountains, watched his younger brothers and sisters return to the wild, and watched the mountains and rivers during the day and the stars at night. He felt like an immortal and his mood became peaceful.
When she returns to school, she is faced with heavy academic workload. She doesn’t need to think too much about other things and should just study hard.
Whenever she encountered problems in her studies, she would go to ask Zhang Zhiyuan for advice - knowing that the future top scorer in the college entrance examination was here, there was no reason not to ask for his advice.
Zhang Zhiyuan’s ideas in teaching the questions were particularly clear, and he was able to immediately find where she was stuck and answer them clearly. Zhang Yansheng felt that his mind had never been so clear. It turns out that if you get close to smart people, you will become smarter too.
She studied hard in Class 2, unaware that Class 8 was hatching a conspiracy against her.
Wang Qian intends to destroy Zhang Yansheng with rumors.
Wang Qian did this in junior high school. The girl who was slandered by her was later ostracized by everyone. Her grades plummeted, she didn't talk to anyone in school, and she even walked without looking up.
"Zhang Yansheng from Class 2 is just a hypocritical gold digger," she declared to her small group. "You saw her ignore Xu Lichen at school, right? What happened? I saw her get into Xu Lichen's car after school. It shows she can't resist the Maybach."
The members of the small group were all filled with righteous indignation: "How could Xu Lichen be so stupid? Can't he see what kind of person she is?"
No, no, the focus is not Xu Lichen!
Wang Qian tried to pull back the finishing line: "Boys are all so stupid. And girls like Zhang Yansheng are especially good at confusing boys. Look how bitchy she is, all the boys think she is a pure white lotus, untainted by mud."
Members of the small group: "Bah! Shameless! She even made Xu Lichen take the punishment, how can she have the nerve to be with Xu Lichen again!"
"I've never seen such a mean person!"
"Ahhh, I'm so pissed!"
Everybody was so angry! I firmly believe that Zhang Yansheng is just a hypocrite. She must have ignored Xu Lichen on purpose before, deliberately causing him to be punished, playing hard to get, and playing Xu Lichen in the palm of her hand!
She must be exposed! Let everyone know what she is!
This "everyone" mainly refers to the people in Class 8, who are Xu Lichen's classmates. It would be best if Xu Lichen could wake up as well. The other refers to the people in Class 2, who are Zhang Yansheng's classmates. Everyone around her must know what kind of person she is, so that everyone can despise her and even ostracize her together.
That would be the coolest thing.
The first step is to spread it in your own class.
The girls curled their lips after hearing this, and some turned around and told others about it. This is something that small groups love to hear. Rumors are something that spread from person to person, and the more and wider they spread, the better.
When he told the boys about it, some curious boys asked Xu Lichen with a wink: "Hey, I heard that your car is parked at the subway station now? What's going on?"
Xu Lichen was very shrewd. He knew something was wrong the moment he heard it, and asked, "Who told you that?"
Although no one directly said it was Wang Qian, the names the boys mentioned were all people from Wang Qian's small group. Xu Lichen understood as soon as he heard it. Wang Qian was trying to get Zhang Yansheng.
Xu Lichen finds Wang Qian annoying. I used to think she was at least pretty, but now when I look at her again, the more I look at her, the more I think she looks like Madam Rong.
However, Xu Lichen found this matter quite interesting. He wanted to see if Wang Qian could deal with Zhang Yansheng, who had a stubborn temper, and also wanted to see how Zhang Yansheng would respond.
But things didn't go smoothly.
The students in Class 8 accepted the gossip or rumors spread by Wang Qian and her accomplices. But Zhang Yansheng was not in the same class as them, so they kept to themselves and could not reach each other. Just listen to it with one ear and then, at most, just sigh a few times and that's it.
Under this method, the people around the person who can really cause harm to the person involved are actually the people around him. The contempt, ridicule and exclusion from people around you will really cause harm.
So Wang Qian also knew that the key point was to spread the gossip to Class 2.
But she and her friends encountered setbacks in this matter.
Although a school like No. 1 Middle School has to accept a group of students who pay to enter, its overall academic atmosphere is still very positive. Especially the top class and the two preparatory classes, which are the key classes that the school values the most.
The school manages these three classes particularly strictly.
The students in Class One, Class Two and Class Three are facing a last-place elimination system with a turnover every half semester. The head teacher stares at them every day as if he has a pair of electric eyes, giving them earnest instructions and repeated reminders.
The pressure these students are under is something that the students in Class 8 who live a leisurely life cannot even imagine.
It can be said that the thought processes of these top students are completely different from those of poor students like Wang Qian.
Wang Qian wanted to spread the rumor to Zhang Yansheng's class, but encountered the wall between the top students and the poor students.
"He approached me in the cafeteria out of nowhere, even though we didn't know each other, and then he started talking about me," the female classmate told Zhang Yansheng. "I was totally confused."
"You act like entertainment industry paparazzi. I wonder who are you? Do I know you? Why am I here listening to you talk about this?"
"Have you done Huanggang? Have you reviewed the fifth and third part? How many times have you memorized the vocabulary list?"
"Neuropathy."
