Chapter 102 Calculation
Chen Zhi took the wine glass from her hand, which she was about to push aside guiltily, and drank all the wine in it in one gulp.
Facing Jiang Yu who was raising her pretty face but looking at her with aggrieved expression, Chen Zhi simply couldn't resist such a well-behaved and beautiful best friend when she was slightly tipsy.
The serious expression he was pretending to have collapsed, his face felt hot, he coughed, took out a mint candy from his pocket, peeled it, and stuffed the candy into Jiang Yu's mouth.
"The look in Shen Hui's eyes doesn't mean she's in love with someone else. Anyway, tell Zhou Xiao to be on guard and don't let him get tricked."
I don’t know if it was because I didn’t drink much, or if the mint candy was refreshing, but Jiang Yu shivered from the cold and her mind was indeed a little clearer.
As his tongue twirled the candy, his mind began to work.
"Okay, I'll ask Zhou Xiao to pay attention."
There is nothing to calculate about Zhou Xiao except his background.
But Shen Hui was reborn and stayed in the Zhou family for a long time. Maybe she knew Zhou Xiao's life experience and wanted to make use of it. It is possible.
However, Zhou Xiao didn't care who his biological parents were or where they were, and he didn't even think about looking for them. If Shen Hui really had this idea, she might have made a mistake.
Jiang Yu and Shen Zhi didn't say much. Shen Zhi was one of the protagonists of the banquet and was soon pulled aside by the villagers to talk to them, asking them to pray for their children's luck in the exam.
"Daya has made it big. She will go to college and get a job after graduation. She will have a stable life."
"Why call her Daya? She has a school name, Chenzhi."
The villager quickly changed his words.
"Chen Zhi is really lucky. She married into the Zhou family. The Zhou family is living a good life now. Huaizi is no longer a slacker. He is doing well in his job and has gone to work in the city. Xiaozi has also been admitted to university."
"When I was in the Shen family, I heard that Shen Hui was smart, and I only knew that Shen Zhi was hardworking. After she got married, her life became better, and she even became a college student. Could it be that the Shen family is unlucky for her?"
The people in the village have never missed burning incense and paper, except for special occasions in the past few years. When they have a headache or a fever, they will even stand their chopsticks upright. They are very superstitious.
Even if you become a worker in an enamel factory, those deeply ingrained things are not so easy to change.
When people around heard this, they thought about when Chen Zhi was in the second branch of the Shen family. He was always covered in dust, skinny, and his eyes were dull.
Looking at her now, she is full of energy and so beautiful. It is no exaggeration to say that she has been reborn compared to before she got married.
There might be some real explanation here.
Like starving ghosts, the people from the two branches of the Shen family ate several bowls of rice and filled their stomachs. They were trying to get closer to Shen Zhi.
As soon as I came over, I heard everyone saying that the Shen family was against Shen Zhi, and my face turned green.
"What nonsense! Our Shen family is very lucky, otherwise how could we have trained Daya to be a college student." Shen's mother said unhappily.
Everyone saw them eating with their mouths full of oil, walking over and holding their stomachs, and still had the nerve to claim credit. Everyone curled their lips in silence.
"What does Chen Zhi's admission to university have to do with you? Didn't you stop her from studying and taking the university entrance exam before?"
Living in a village, no one really knows what goes on in other families. People at the entrance of the village eat melons happily.
The Shen family members' faces froze when they saw Shen Zhi looking at them indifferently, as if he was heartbroken by them and didn't want to get close to them.
The Shen family was anxious. They had to be anxious. When Shen Zhi lived in the village before, with Jiang Yu's bodyguard around, they couldn't get any benefits from Shen Zhi.
When they moved to the city, they didn't even know where Chen Zhi lived, and had no place to ask for money.
Now that Shen Zhi has been admitted to university and is studying in Kyoto, it is even more difficult for them to see their daughter.
Of course, you have to take advantage of this time to build closer relationships. If you can get their phone number and address, it will be easy to ask for favors or money later.
"Daya, don't listen to these gossipy women. If your family really doesn't want you to study, how could they possibly support you to go to high school?"
"Now that you've been admitted to university, don't forget your family. We don't have a worker at home, and life is very tight." Shen's mother cried.
Shen's father and Shen's sister-in-law took turns talking about how good they had been to Shen Zhi in the past and how difficult their family was.
In a nutshell, it tells Chen Zhi not to forget his roots and to provide for his family.
Jiang Yu listened and sighed.
"They are so shameless. If Chen Zhi needed help, they would run faster than anyone else."
It would be better to cut off all ties with this annoying relative completely.
How about letting the bodyguards beat them up and then threaten them?
Zhou Xiao glanced over there and handed a bowl of mung bean soup to his fiancée.
"Drink this, not alcohol."
His fiancée's originally sweet breath now had a slight smell of alcohol, and Zhou Xiao knew that she had been drinking.
Jiang Yu was silent for a moment. The wine was gone, and she didn't know how the man knew that she had been drinking.
Shen Zhi over there glanced at the Shen family indifferently.
"When I was studying, the school knew my situation and waived my tuition because I had good grades. Did you support me?"
"Didn't he steal the bonus from my school to buy big meat buns for his brother? I was so hungry at school that I could only drink cold water. When I came home, I had to take care of the housework and work in the fields. I was ruined."
Chen Zhi expressed word for word the grievances suffered by the original owner.
Her eyes turned red, showing that she was heartbroken by her loved ones and completely disappointed in them.
The Shen family members were shocked when they heard this.
Chen Zhi wouldn't really ignore them, right?
"Daya, there are difficulties at home. As a child, you can't hate your parents!"
Hey, this is moral kidnapping.
Jiang Yu put down her bowl and was about to help her bestie to scold these wicked people, but Zhou Tinghuai was already protecting Shen Zhi with a distressed look on his face, glaring at the people from both branches of the Shen family.
"Everyone in the village knows how you treated my wife in the past. Now that my wife has been admitted to university, you want to take credit for it and ask her to be filial to you, without even considering whether you are worthy or not!"
The words were a bit harsh, but the surrounding villagers didn't complain.
After all, they remembered that Chen Zhi had fainted while working in the fields before, and the doctor told him that his health was seriously weakened and he would not be able to do heavy work in the future.
It's not a famine, how could a good daughter be raised to be so thin that her bones are visible, and a son be so fat.
That's not the attitude of raising a daughter well. Now she wants benefits and wants to reap the fruits. It's a nice thought.
"Zhou Tinghuai! I'm your mother-in-law, how can you talk like that?!" Mother Shen pointed at Zhou Tinghuai and scolded.
"You are marrying up to your status as a college student. I'm telling you, if you don't give me some benefits, I will make sure that Daya can't go to college!"
"I just don't believe that a university in Kyoto would accept a disobedient girl as a student."
Anyway, seeing that Chen Zhi is about to fall out, it is better to get the benefits first.
Boom! This sentence shocked everyone to their core.
What a stupid parents they are to prevent their daughter from going to college.
Everyone looked at Chen Zhi with sympathy. It was not easy to deal with being entangled by such a relative.
