Mrs. Lu said, "She probably doesn't get along well with her new classmates. Otherwise, if she needs a book, can't she just borrow it from the next class? My children are all like this."
He Rou ran home to get the book, which meant that she couldn't borrow the book and no classmates helped her borrow the book.
This may be the reason why she didn't make any good friends in the new semester.
"I heard that the news of her engagement to Zhang Li has spread to the school. Isn't she going to repeat the year? All her former classmates have left the school, and now her new classmates don't associate with her. She now goes to and from school alone."
The daughter of a murderer, who wouldn't retreat away from her?
Mrs. Lu pointed to the door opposite and said, "It's so unlucky to be their neighbor. I heard a lot of noise in their house. He Shengli would slam the table and curse at everyone. The little one was so scared that he cried loudly. The old man packed his schoolbag and said he wanted to live with his grandmother. He Rou also cried at both ends."
Mrs. Lu didn't sympathize with He Rou at all. She thought about the bad things He Rou and her family had done before, and now it was time for retribution to come.
He Shengli is not a good father, but He Rou herself is not a good person either.
If she hadn't had the same idea of climbing up the social ladder as He Shengli, she would have been admitted to a university long ago if she had applied to an ordinary school with her grades.
She refused to do so. She insisted on being arrogant.
This is not anyone's fault, isn't it a personal choice?
"He Shengli is really no good. He always loses his masculine temper at home, and Zhou Yun, as a mother, is no good either."
Mrs. Lu sighed, "Isn't He Rou repeating a grade? It's obvious that He Rou wants to try again and get better grades than in previous years to study at Beijing University."
"Logically speaking, since the mother supports her daughter to repeat the year, she should let her daughter focus on studying and urge her to make progress."
Mrs. Lu spread her hands. "Zhou Yun is also a teacher, but she kept asking about He Rou and her boyfriend. She kept asking He Rou whether Zhang Li had contacted her, and urged He Rou to find a chance to go to the Zhang family to meet the elders and appease the Zhang family elders first."
The He family knew that Secretary Zhang had already issued a statement to sever ties with the family, but still insisted on having He Rou and Zhang Li hold an engagement ceremony. They thought that the mother could not persuade her children, so they asked Zhang Li to insist. Sooner or later, the Zhang family would have to recognize He Rou as their daughter-in-law.
"If you ask me, He Rou's brother is also an ungrateful person."
Mrs. Lu had been holding back for a long time and finally found someone she could trust to talk to.
"Look at how chaotic the He family is now. He Rou is not young anymore, but he doesn't care about anything. He left alone when there was a quarrel at home. When you had just gotten married, the He family quarreled one night for no reason. The child was the loudest. It sounded to me like it had something to do with money."
"It seems that he doesn't agree with the He family spending all their money on He Rou, and he doesn't say anything. Anyway, that's basically what he meant."
Qiao Xinyi immediately thought of the money the He family had compensated her.
Although that amount of money is not as much as the compensation from the banker, it is still enough for an ordinary family.
After all, the He family's brothers and sisters are losing money, and they are burning money.
He Shengli doesn't have a mother who helps him manage his salary like Qiao Laiwang does.
"Look at that child. He will object to the family spending money, and he won't touch anything that has nothing to do with money. Although his grades are better than his older sister's, and he has a potential to go to college, what's the point of having good grades if a child is taught like that? The child has become an ungrateful person."
Mrs. Lu had to mention her own children.
"Take my own children for example. It's not because I think they are good. To be honest, I think they are stupid. They have been fooled by the kid next door since they were young. I don't know how many times I have taken the blame for their children."
"Although our children's grades are not as good as their parents, our children are united and do not have those little thoughts like mine. When I take my eldest daughter out shopping and buy something for her, she will remember to bring a copy for her brother."
"When I take my little one out, and my older sister is too busy at school, I buy her some snacks, and she will remember to buy some for her sister and bring them home to eat."
"It's not smart for them to be this good forever. As a mother, I know I'm satisfied."
Mrs. Lu is not like other mothers. She cannot see the advantages of other people's children and keeps comparing their children with her own.
"Everyone has their own way of living. We don't like the way the He family educates their children, and they also look down on our way of living without great ambition." Qiao Xinyi patted the back of Mrs. Lu's hand.
She could see that Mrs. Lu had been very upset over the years, so she found her and vented her grievances.
Qiao Xinyi might not like to see the lively atmosphere at other people's homes, but she loved to see the lively atmosphere at the He family.
When they were in the guesthouse, Qiao Xinyi had already noticed that the group of university volunteers had always been led by Zhang Li. When the industrial team staff did not assign them to work, they all followed Zhang Li's orders.
Zhang Li is a very organized and cohesive person and is very popular in the student community.
Zhang Li is also surrounded by female classmates who boldly pursue him.
It's not that Qiao Xinyi thinks Zhang Li is the type of person who would cheat on her, but with He Rou's personality, if she fails to get into Beijing University next year, the two places will be separated, and with the He family putting pressure on He Rou to manage her, she doesn't know if she and Zhang Li can maintain this relationship.
Qiao Xinyi stayed at Mrs. Lu's house for more than an hour before leaving, and had a very happy chat with Mrs. Lu.
They didn't just talk about the He family's affairs, they also talked about other things.
It was only after this conversation that Qiao Xinyi discovered that Sister Lu simply didn't get along with the He family. In the subsequent conversations with Sister Lu, Sister Lu never said anything bad about any of the neighbors in the family compound.
When Qiao Xinyi returned home, Fu Bailu had already bought the vegetables and was washing them in the yard.
"Xinyi, I bought two pounds of pork ribs at the meat station. Let's make pork rib soup later." Fu Bailu greeted Qiao Xinyi while humming a song. "Qingshan just came back and told me that he bought me a ticket back to my hometown. I will be back in two days. Ask Qingshan to bring you food from the cafeteria in the next two days."
Qiao Xinyi was pregnant with Fu Bailu and would not be willing to stay in her hometown for too long.
But if she wasn't asked to go back, she would feel very uncomfortable.
"Do you know what I saw someone holding in the street today?" Fu Bailu said directly without keeping the secret, "I saw paper money."
This thing, let alone the provincial capital, even Fu Bailu hasn't seen it in her hometown for a long time.
"These things have become more and more available in the past two years. They are available in the provincial capital. I think we can buy them in our hometown as well."
"If I can buy some this time, I'll burn some for Yi and Qingshan's mother. It's been years since I've burned paper money for them. I'm afraid they're having a hard time down there."
Especially Qingshan's mother, she used to suffer from money problems.
