Chapter 19 Shen Yongshan started to panic
Su Ying had not yet planned to tell Jiang Yue and her family about the child. After all, medicine was not as advanced as it would be in later generations, and it was still impossible to detect the cause.
There is no rush to tell them after the test results come out, but by that time Jiang Yue will probably have gone to military school.
Su Ying walked around the bookstore and only bought an English book.
She knew that English would be very useful in the future, so she planned to learn it by herself when she had nothing to do. Maybe it would help her a lot in the future.
There is another reason. Starting from next year, that is, 1983, English will be officially included in the college entrance examination subjects.
She was fine, as she had studied English for several years with Teacher Yu from the factory.
However, later on, Teacher Yu was transferred to the farm for reform for some reasons, and she never studied seriously again.
But for someone like Shen Yongshan who has never been exposed to English since childhood, let alone taking English exams, he doesn't even know the most basic pronunciation and grammar.
The college entrance examination is less than a year away, so it would be too late for him to start learning English now.
In his previous life, Shen Yongshan was also very anxious for this reason.
In order to help him, she helped him study English from morning till night every day, and even neglected to eat or sleep.
Not only that, she also sorted out for him the basic English knowledge she had learned one by one.
She helped him review for a whole year regardless of weather conditions, sacrificing more than a year of her own time, and only then did she help Shen Yongshan, an English illiterate, pass the exam.
Although his English score dropped a bit later, he was finally admitted to a university in Beijing without any problems.
He also received praise from teachers and other classmates for his rapid progress in English.
Shen Yongshan just smiled embarrassedly at the time and did not mention her contribution at all.
In order to help Shen Yongshan, she did not take the college entrance examination that year.
Although it was indeed a bit difficult for her to get into university with her grades, English pulled up the scores of many other candidates that year, and English happened to be her strong point. As long as she tried hard, she might be able to get into university.
Now without his help, Shen Yongshan can only dream of getting into university.
After Su Ying came out of the Xinhua Bookstore, as luck would have it, she saw Shen Yongshan walking towards her from a distance with his head lowered.
On her way home, she happened to pass by her high school teacher's house. Shen Yongshan should have gone to ask the teacher some questions.
Seeing this, she pretended not to see it and walked around to the side and went home.
"Su Ying."
Su Ying originally thought that Shen Yongshan should be happy if she stopped pestering him, but why did he always stick to her like a dog-skin plaster?
Only then did she realize how disgusting it was that she had been treated like a scapegoat before.
"What?" Hearing Shen Yongshan calling her, Su Ying turned around and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Su Ying, I was too impulsive yesterday. Can you give me another chance and forgive me?" Although Shen Yongshan was unwilling in his heart, he still said this.
He really hated Su Ying from head to toe. If it weren't for his family, how could he even look at her?
When Shen Yongshan thought of Ye Lingling, he disliked Su Ying even more.
"Forgive you for what? Shen Yongshan, don't you understand what I'm saying? I said I'll never bother you again. Are you sick? Can you stay away from me? Do you understand what a sense of boundaries is?"
Su Ying still felt that she was too easy to talk to. Otherwise, Shen Yongshan was a masochist who wouldn't leave no matter how much she scolded him.
"Su Ying, I know you were just saying that out of anger. Yesterday, you and Jiang Yue deliberately flirted in front of me just to get my attention. I know you still have me in your heart."
Shen Yongshan was very confident when he said this. Although he still had the same aloof and arrogant look as before, Su Ying felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at him.
This person is really contradictory. He obviously hates himself to death, but he still says these things that go against his conscience?
Su Ying knew that the Shen family must be behind this, otherwise Shen Yongshan would want her to stay away from him.
"You're wrong. I don't have that much free time, Shen Yongshan. I can tell you clearly now that I don't like you anymore. Please stop pestering me. We'll go our separate ways and stay out of each other's way. Do you understand?"
Su Ying was too lazy to waste time with him, so she walked around him and went home.
Unfortunately, Shen Yongshan seemed to not understand what people were saying. When he saw Su Ying was about to leave, he suddenly became anxious and reached out to grab Su Ying's arm.
Su Ying wasn't paying attention and the English book in her arms fell to the ground.
Shen Yongshan naturally also saw the English book in Su Ying's hand. He looked at Su Ying and subconsciously asked, "Can you understand this English book?"
The English book Su Ying was holding was a classic translated into English. She had studied English grammar, and although there were new words in it, she had an English dictionary that Teacher Yu had given her at home. She could mark the meanings of the words by referring to the dictionary, and she could barely understand it.
"Of course, what's the problem?" Su Ying picked up her book from the ground, put it back into her arms, and looked at Shen Yongshan in confusion.
When Shen Yongshan heard Su Ying's words, his expression changed slightly.
The reason why he looked down on Su Ying before was because he felt that Su Ying had nothing outstanding except her wealthy family background.
He has a bad temper, is arrogant, and doesn't take others seriously.
But now, he didn't expect that Su Ying could actually understand English books?
Moreover, the book seemed to be written entirely in English. Not to mention the contents of the book, he didn't even know what the cover meant.
He has never been exposed to English since he was a child. Just now, he heard the teacher say that next year's college entrance examination may be reformed and English may be included in the test, so they should go back and prepare themselves mentally.
Not only him, but other students were also troubled by this matter.
He has absolutely no foundation in English. If he doesn't do well in the English test, it will have a huge impact on his college entrance examination score.
He was almost worried to death because of this matter.
We can’t let all his hard work this year go to waste just because of English.
But now, he didn't expect that Su Ying, whom he had always looked down upon, was so good at English? This was like a blow to his soul.
"You...when did you learn English?" Shen Yongshan asked subconsciously in panic.
Su Ying couldn't help but sneered after hearing this. "Are you surprised that you can speak English? I've been learning it since I was a child. What's wrong with that?"
She knew that Shen Yongshan must be feeling very upset right now. The person he looked down upon the most was actually the strongest at his weakest point. This must be a fatal blow to someone like him who thought he was noble, right?
This is exactly the effect she wants.
Sure enough, after Shen Yongshan heard this, his face turned as calm as death.
Seeing this, Su Ying ignored Shen Yongshan and prepared to go home with her English book in her arms.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly ran over from the direction of the door. After seeing her, he said anxiously while panting: "Sister Ying, Brother Jiang Yue is in trouble. You should go to the hospital quickly."
