"How can you still laugh?"

"People who spread rumors behind my back are just jealous. Being envied shows that I am excellent. Who can you find if someone says this again? You will find the person who spread the rumor in the end. If she doesn't admit it, what can you do?"

"That's really too much. You should find a teacher and let him correct you."

Ji Ling smiled and said, "No need. Some people will get more excited the more you pay attention to them. Even if I look for a teacher now, she might immediately say that the teacher is doing it for my in-laws' sake."

"It's really like this." Miao Man was dumbfounded.

Ji Ling said, "So, you should ignore this kind of person. She won't be interested in spreading rumors, so she will behave herself. Besides, the other party said this behind my back just to see what kind of strength I had to be chosen. I have the strength but I kept it to myself. Why should I let the other party know and learn from me? Wouldn't that be a bargain for her?"

"It must have been Gao Jing who did it." Miao Man's mind was racing.

Just as Ji Ling's words persuaded her, she immediately jumped to another topic, "I heard everyone talking about it in private. Gao Jing and Senior Gu are dating. Some people saw them going in and out together during the holidays. Now Senior Gu is in the same unit as you. She must be very jealous."

Ji Ling certainly knew that Gu Baoshan and Gao Jing went in and out together. She had even encountered them in the compound, but she didn't want to say more.

"Don't say that anymore. It's not good for Senior Gu."

Miao Man said, "I just think Senior Gu is so good, why would he choose Gao Jing? Gao Jing is too hypocritical."

Ji Ling wanted to say that birds of a feather flock together, but then she changed her mind and thought about her interactions with Senior Gu. She found that he was calm and thoughtful, and excellent in all aspects. He was indeed not the same type of person as Gao Jing.

While she was thinking about what to say, Miao Man had already changed the subject.

In the next dormitory, Gao Jing had just returned from outside. She looked a little serious. "I just met Senior Gu downstairs. He said that Ji Ling was arranged by the school. They were also surprised when they found out. They only found out after asking the teacher."

After hearing this, Jiang Zheng became curious and asked, "Arranged by the school?"

"Well, they didn't tell me why she was arranged to go to the Railway Administration."

Jiang Zheng thought about it, but couldn't figure it out. Unless Ji Ling's husband had arranged it privately, with Zhu Weidong working on the railway and Ji Ling going in, the couple might work together in the future and not be separated.

She had such a guess, but she didn't like talking about people behind their backs, so she didn't say it out loud.

Gao Jing didn't get a response, and she knew it was not a good idea to ask more questions. The teacher had assigned her the job of study committee member, and she was happy about it, because it meant that in the teacher's eyes, she was as good as Ji Ling.

But then Ji Ling was given special treatment and assigned to an important unit, which was undoubtedly a slap in her face.

After thinking about it, she concluded that Ji Ling was able to get in thanks to the arrangement of her in-laws.

After choosing the work unit, we will go to the unit two days a week starting from next week, and attend classes at school on the other three days, so everyone is very excited.

During the weekend, Ji Ling returned to the compound and told the police that she had been assigned to the Railway Administration.

Mrs. Zhu was very surprised. "The work there is not easy. Why were you assigned there?"

Ji Ling told her teacher about the conversation she had with him. "I like challenges. In fact, accounting work requires sitting most of the time. I went there mainly to learn and practice, and the workload was not too heavy."

Old Madam Zhu said, "Excellent people can be hidden anywhere. The school has arranged for you to go to school even though you are pregnant. It is a blessing for Weidong to marry you."

Ji Ling blushed and smiled, "Grandma, please stop teasing me."

Old Mrs. Zhu also laughed and said that her aunt had cooked pork ribs today and asked her to eat them at home before going back.

Ji Ling smiled and said, "I'll go back tomorrow and stay here tonight to talk to grandma."

Ji Ling was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Weiyue rushed to Ji Ling with gossip, "Sister-in-law, did you see Lao Er at school?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yaowu slapped him on the back of his head, "You have no respect for your elders. Who are you calling second?"

Zhu Weiyue didn't care at all. Instead, he looked at Ji Ling excitedly, waiting for the answer.

Ji Ling looked at Zhu Yaowu and asked, "Are you going to our school?"

"What do you mean by your school? I got in through the exam, too. I just took a leave of absence later." Zhu Yaowu threw his schoolbag onto the sofa and leaned into it like he had no bones. "Now I'm just continuing to go to school."

"Sister-in-law, you haven't met each other at school for a week?" Zhu Heping opened his mouth wide.

Ji Ling shook her head, "No."

Zhu Weiming was the last one to come in. He said slowly, "Second brother doesn't want sister-in-law to see it."

Ji Ling smiled, "It should be this."

Zhu Yaowu frowned, stood up, picked up his schoolbag and went back upstairs.

Old Mrs. Zhu looked at his back and smiled, "He is shy. After so many years in society, he suddenly goes back to being a student."

"Hey, who can escape from grandpa's hand? My second brother should have finished his studies in school before entering the society." Zhu Wei Yue shook his head.

Zhu Heping said, "You guys are relieved. I helped Second Brother with his homework this week."

Zhu Weiming smiled without giving any face.

Zhu Weiyue also laughed.

Old Mrs. Zhu shook her head.

Ji Ling saw that her grandmother did not scold her for helping with homework, and then thought about the fights between the Zhu brothers. In such an inclusive and free family, life is easy and comfortable.

In the evening, only Old Mrs. Zhu and a few others had dinner together. Zhu's father had gone out of town again, and Zhu Chuang was busy at the company, so he ate outside after finishing his work.

Kong Siya has an operation and will not be able to get off the operating table until very late.

After dinner, Ji Ling returned downstairs and Zhu Yaowu came over. "Sister-in-law, you are going to the Railway Administration for two days. I will take you there during those two days."

"No, just study hard." Ji Ling said, and then she didn't hear any sound. She looked up at Zhu Yaowu's tense face and couldn't help laughing. "It's nothing to be ashamed of being a student at such an old age. There are seniors who are also going to the Railway Administration. We have agreed to carpool together."

After hearing this, Zhu Yaowu felt relieved and turned away.

That night, Ji Jianhua called and it was Zhu Weiyue who asked Ji Ling to come downstairs.

After Ji Ling picked up the phone, she heard her eldest brother's loud voice, "I'm out of the hospital and now I'm being treated at the factory. I can leave the factory too. I'll go to the capital to visit in the next few days."

When Ji Ling heard her elder brother say this, she remembered that Zhu Weidong had not yet said whether his friend had found out about the spices.
