Professor Wang disagrees.
Are you kidding me? That's a building!
Even though he was just a scholar, he usually focused on research and didn't care too much about other things. Su Ru would usually send some gifts and food to his daughter during festivals. He would be grateful but would not care too much. He would just pay more attention to her academic guidance.
But a little food is just a little food, it's just an ordinary favor, but a building...it's not a particularly deep relationship, why should they give you a house to live in?
His face looked a little unhappy, and he said, "No, no matter how rich she is, it's her business. She doesn't intend to pay for renting a house from someone... Anyway, no."
He doesn't have the nerve to do that.
Liu Lan's eyes suddenly turned red.
She said, "Wenhua, why are you so unwilling to change your ways... Usually when people from outside come to you to get something out, you refuse me and even criticize me, saying that it is against the law, saying that it is a matter of principle and cannot harm the interests of the country. That's fine, I will listen to you."
"But this has nothing to do with the country right now. I'm just trying to save face and beg Researcher Su."
"Look at our current situation... Huihui is already nine years old, and Zhenzhen is almost seven. They can't always live in the same room with my parents. I really have no other choice. I heard from Researcher Su that they didn't plan to sell the house, but just leave it empty, and only let friends stay here when they come over occasionally, so I came up with this idea."
"Don't you think about it? If such a big house is left empty all the time, won't it attract dust and thieves? If we go over to show them the house, it can also make it more popular. When her friends come over, they can also have hot meals. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
"You have helped Researcher Su so much in the past few years. Although we are colleagues, we are almost like master and apprentice. As long as you ask, how can she not agree? I know you care about face, but even if it means losing face, it is a real benefit. Don't you know how important it is to our family?... And you don't have to say it. As long as you agree, I will go to her privately. In this way, if she refuses, it will be regarded as my own decision to go to her, and you don't have to feel embarrassed... I am doing this for this family..."
After hearing what Liu Lan said, Wang Wenhua felt a little guilty.
But no matter how guilty he felt, he still kept a sullen face and refused to give in.
He usually let her do whatever she wanted with household matters, but he refused to do this.
The two were talking in the house when they suddenly heard the crying of their little daughter Zhenzhen outside.
The two were startled and hurriedly walked away one after the other.
go out.
As soon as the two went out, they saw the younger daughter Zhenzhen beating the older daughter Huihui. Huihui gave in several times, but finally, probably getting irritated, she pushed her hard. With a "bang", Wang Zhenzhen fell to the ground. Wang Zhenzhen screamed and burst into tears.
Liu Lan rushed forward to help Wang Zhenzhen and first checked if she had fallen. In winter, she was wearing thick clothes. Seeing that she hadn't fallen, she coaxed her for a few words and then stood up and hit Wang Huihui, cursing: "Why are you crazy? Are you capable? I never saw you being so capable outside. You just beat your sister all day long..."
Professor Wang quickly pulled his eldest daughter aside from her arms. He felt distressed when he saw Huihui's face flushed red and tears in her eyes, but she was trying hard to hold them back.
He knew that his eldest daughter was stubborn and unpopular, so Liu Lan always favored the younger daughter.
He said, "Alan, don't hit Huihui without knowing the reason. It was Zhenzhen who hit Huihui first, and Huihui fought back."
After that, he asked his eldest daughter, "Hui Hui, what happened just now?"
Wang Huihui's tears stopped rolling down when she saw her father speaking up for her.
She said, "She stole Nannan's watch from Han Zhen's house! I saw it just now. I asked her to go to Han's house and give the watch to Han Zhen, but she pushed me and said I was talking nonsense, saying that Han Zhen gave it to her! How is it possible? She asked Han Zhen for it before, but Han Zhen clearly refused. How could it be a gift from Han Zhen? She has never learned her lesson and follows Liu Liang and Liu Zhu to learn how to steal things. She is so shameless!"
Liu Liang and Liu Zhu are the two children of Liu Lan's eldest brother from her mother's side.
This time, before Wang Zhenzhen could say anything, Liu Lan's face flushed red. She rushed over and slapped Wang Huihui on the face, cursing, "How can you talk like that? They are your cousins, how can you say that to them? Don't you remember who raised you when you were a child?"
He cursed and gasped in anger.
Wang Wenhua used to live in a cowshed, and she and Wang Zhenzhen both lived in her mother's house.
She hit so hard that even though Wang Wenhua was right next to Wang Huihui, he couldn't stop her.
Wang Huihui was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
She wiped the tears from her face fiercely, glared at Liu Lan angrily, and said, "Who raised me? Didn't they just give me a mouthful of porridge? And they scolded and beat me every day! If I wasn't young at that time, I would rather live with my father!"
It was also because of those memories that she had no feelings for her grandparents and her uncle's family.
Her grandparents who lived here didn't get along well with them...which also made her mother dislike her even more.
She cried, "You still hit me? What right do you have to hit me? She was the one who stole the things. What's wrong with me asking her to return the things to her? It's a fact that Liu Liang and Liu Zhu stole things. They have been stealing my things since I was a child. The things my father bought for me were stolen by them in the blink of an eye. I want them back, but you still have grandma and grandpa to protect them! You don't allow me to take my things back, and you want to give them my other things as well!"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Wang Wenhua and said with tears in her eyes, "Am I wrong? Dad, you told me that people should be honest and not take things that are not theirs, but why am I not the one who takes other people's things, but I am the one who gets beaten every time? People who steal and rob things are coaxed and pampered by others?"
As he said that, he turned around and rushed to the door, opened it and rushed out.
“Meihui!”
Wang Wenhua rushed out.
But Liu Lan was furious behind her, "Let her go, let her go! She has a good temper! Her cousins have a hard life, so what if they took a little from her? Why does she hold such a grudge against her?! Her sister is young, she doesn't know how to give in, but she just knows how to pick on others and steal things. They are young, what do they know? She is so eager to accuse her own cousins and sister of a crime..."
Wang Wenhua looked back at her and chased after her without saying anything.
******
Han family.
Nan Nan pouted unhappily.
"What's wrong, Nannan?"
Su Ruo asked her.
This girl usually has a good temper and rarely pouts and sulks like this.
Nan Nan said nothing.
Guo Guo said, "Wang Zhenzhen took her watch. She saw it and wanted to stop it, but I stopped her."
Su Ruo was startled and asked, "What's going on?"
Guoguo is not the type of person who would allow others to bully her sister.
Guoguo then slowly said, "When we were playing before, Wang Zhenzhen took a fancy to Nannan's watch and asked Nannan for it, but Nannan refused to give it to her and even kept it away and put it in a small drawer in the living room. Wang Zhenzhen must have seen it, and then she opened the drawer and took the pen when no one was paying attention... But Nannan actually saw it and wanted to hit her, but I stopped her."
Nan Nan doesn’t talk much and looks like a pretty and well-behaved child, but this girl is actually very protective of her food and no one can take advantage of her.
Su Ruo frowned.
At this time, Han Zecheng interrupted and asked, "Why did you stop it?"
Guoguo looked at his father, then at Su Ruo, and said, "Mom, I heard Aunt Liu ask you about the house before... I saw her looking at our house all night with a strange look in her eyes, and then I saw Wang Zhenzhen stealing things."
"Mom, when I went to your cultural relics room and studio with you a long time ago, I wanted those things, but you told me that they were national cultural relics and very precious, and I couldn't take them. Later, when I went there, you wouldn't let me touch them, and you told me that if anyone asked me about those cultural relics, you would make me tell you."
Because Han Zecheng has a special identity.
Su Ruo had been teaching Guoguo about safety awareness since he was very young, and as soon as he arrived in Yunnan at the age of five, he hired someone to teach him boxing, so the child is particularly sensitive to some things.
He said, "Auntie, watches are not cheap things. Wang Zhenzhen dared to steal them when she saw them. There must be something wrong with her education. And Auntie Liu... I have also been to Uncle Wang's house. I think Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu also have some problems, but this is someone else's family business, I shouldn't say anything. It's just that Auntie talked about your work. There are many bad people who want to steal cultural relics through the school and sell them abroad... I think there are many loopholes in Uncle Wang's house. If Uncle Wang doesn't pay attention, there will be big problems in the future."
"So you want to use Wang Zhenzhen's theft of the watch to remind him?"
Su Ruo whispered.
Guoguo nodded.
Uncle Wang is a nice person.
He wouldn't say much about other people's affairs, so he could only use this method to remind them.
If this doesn't arouse vigilance... then he can only shrug.
Su Ruo was in a heavy mood.
But Guoguo doesn't know how to do that.
After he nodded, he looked at Nan Nan, who turned away angrily.
He reached out and knocked her head, saying, "Also, I'm going to teach you a lesson. It's no use trying to cover your ears while stealing a bell... You know Wang Zhenzhen likes your watch, so you either wear it on your wrist or keep it in your room. Put it in the drawer next to her right under her nose. Isn't this obviously asking her to take it? Are you stupid?"
Nan Nan was very angry.
She snorted and said, "You are stupid, I have been watching the whole time! I saw it too, but you didn't let me hit her!"
Take her things and she'll swell up her hands!
Su Ruo usually liked to watch the two quarreling. She could not help laughing when she saw the chubby but very calm Nan Nan being teased by Guo Guo and jumping up in anger. But at this moment, she did not care at all... She was not even in the mood to correct Guo Guo when she used the wrong idiom.
They have been together for so many years, she must know something about Liu Lan and the Wang family.
Originally an ordinary person in the market, Liu Lan was actually not that special.
At least as far as she knew, Liu Lan was still sincere to Professor Wang and was willing to listen to him on major issues... It was just that Professor Wang's job was special. With the reform and opening up, more and more people came in from outside. If one was a little less principled and vigilant, he might be taken advantage of, not to mention that his backyard was already full of sieves...
