"How is it? Do you like it..."
Before Zhu Qing could finish her kind words, she saw Xiang Yu start to cry.
"Little Fish? Why are you crying? I bought this pen because I saw you really liked it. Don't you like it?"
"Zhu Qing! Are you stupid?! Given your family's current situation, every penny is precious to you, how could you spend it on me..."
I've been trying my best to help you and share the burden, but you've gone to great lengths to stop me from paying for the tickets, and then you bought me such an expensive pen.
Zhu Qing, why are you so annoying? What if you starve to death in the countryside? You're my only friend..."
As they were talking, Xiang Yu simply hugged Zhu Qinghao and burst into tears.
Zhu Qinghao instinctively hugged Xiang Yu back. Upon hearing this statement, she knew that Xiang Yu had misunderstood.
No wonder she insisted on paying for the tickets; did she think she was bankrupt and wanted to help her out?
She was both amused and exasperated, but in the end she still laughed.
"You're still laughing! I've never seen anyone as stupid as you!"
As Xiang Yu spoke, he seemed to still be angry, and gently patted her back twice, but the force was hardly enough to vent his anger.
"My dear fish, thank you for thinking of me so much. I knew you loved me the most, but..."
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Qinghao leaned close to Xiang Yu's ear.
After she stepped back, Xiang Yu raised her head and looked at her with a mixture of belief and doubt.
"Are you serious? You swear you're not lying to me?"
Zhu Qing smiled and raised her hand to swear:
"Really, I promise I'm not lying to you, otherwise..."
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course you wouldn't lie to me!"
"Hmph, you know what, this pen is really nice! When I bring it to school, the other teachers will definitely be envious."
"Absolutely! My little fish has never had bad taste!"
Stop flattering me!
"Hehe, I'll take the picture!"
Talk is cheap; Zhu Qinghao even resorted to physical violence.
Xiang Yu wasn't about to sit idly by and wait to be killed. After carefully putting away the pen, she began to fight back.
When Zhou Huilan returned, she heard the sounds of laughter and playfulness coming from inside the house. She shook her head helplessly, ignoring the two sisters and letting them do as they pleased.
Moreover, she was originally very worried about Zhu Qinghao, but seeing them making such a fuss, she felt much more at ease.
...
The next day, Xiang Yu and Zhu Qinghao both got up very early.
Xiang Yu was going to the school to teach the students, while Zhu Qinghao was going to help with the transfer of work. For this, Zhou Huilan even took half a day off and called her niece Chen Yuting over.
When Chen Yuting arrived, she looked at Zhu Qinghao with gratitude on her face. Although she knew that Zhu Qinghao had no choice but to sell her job, she still appreciated her kindness.
These past two days, Zhu Qinghao had heard a lot from Xiang Yu about Chen Yuting and had developed a good impression of her, so she greeted him with a smile as soon as they met.
Perhaps sensing Zhu Qinghao's goodwill, Chen Yuting's smile deepened as she admired Zhu Qinghao's exquisite face. Suddenly, she remembered the news she had heard about the Zhu family in the past two days.
Thinking that such a good girl had to go through such a big change, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
So she opened her backpack, took out the thousand yuan that her mother and aunt had scraped together, and handed it to Zhu Qinghao without hesitation.
