But unexpectedly, Yang Ru not only didn't listen to a word, but also changed her expression.
"You are incompetent, so why bother making excuses for yourself? In my opinion, you simply don't have the ability, yet you still have the nerve to brag that there is no woman in the world you can't chase. If you don't want to help, then don't help. I don't count on you. Anyway, you never support me in doing anything I want to do. I will find a way myself!"
"Don't try that on me. Provoking me doesn't work. I think all the books you read were in vain. You are just spoiled by your habits. You speak without thinking and don't make any sense at all. You are really hopeless now!" Yang Zhiyuan was a little angry. He had no one to spare for his cousin.
"I'm hopeless?" Yang Ru pointed at herself in self-mockery.
"Yes, I am hopeless. I just like him and I must have him. Since I can't have him, no one else can either!"
Yang Ru was hysterical, and Yang Zhiyuan could only support her helplessly.
"You are totally unreasonable. Think about it yourself! I think it is understandable that your uncle wants to send you abroad. With your temper, you should go out and experience some new life, so that you don't think the world belongs to you alone!"
After Yang Zhiyuan finished speaking, he walked away, closing the door heavily.
He was so disappointed that he didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Zhiyuan, have dinner before you leave!"
"No, auntie. I have an appointment with some friends so I won't be having dinner with them!" Yang Zhiyuan walked away depressed and didn't plan to care about this matter anymore.
When the time came, he went to No. 1 Middle School in the city, wanting to see what kind of man Ru Ru liked looked like.
It happened that Jiang Cong was supervising the exam. If the class average score in this mock exam could reach the first place in the grade, he would receive a bonus of 15 yuan.
Therefore, he took this exam very seriously and planned to use his bonus to buy a handbag for Qin Man. Seeing that each of her colleagues had one, he thought of the canvas bag Manman was holding, so he decided to buy one for her as well.
Yang Zhiyuan was standing at the door of the classroom, and Jiang Cong, who was on the podium, happened to make eye contact with him.
Yang Zhiyuan's first impression of Jiang Cong was that he was indeed a good-looking man, but he didn't know what his abilities were, and what was it about him that made Ru Ru miss him so much.
This still needs to be investigated. Now that people have seen it, he feels a little better, at least it is not a rotten melon or a defective one.
As expected, Jiang Cong's class took first place in the math test, with the average score remaining around 90. He was praised by the principal, who also applied for a bonus for him, which was paid out together with this month's salary.
So, he was paid 71.5 yuan this month, and the first thing he did after receiving his salary was to go to a department store, find a bag store, and buy a reddish-brown handbag for Qin Man.
The last time Qin Man went shopping, she passed by this store and went in to take a look. It was obvious that she really wanted to buy a bag, but any bag would cost more than ten yuan, which was equivalent to one month's rent, so she was reluctant to do so.
Moreover, it is an ordinary handbag or a regular leather bag. If it were a branded one, it would cost between eighty and one hundred dollars!
Men's leather shoes would cost eighty to a hundred yuan, and Jiang Cong didn't have enough money at the moment, so he could only choose and buy her a twenty-yuan handbag.
Jiang Cong took the bag and went home. He used the meat coupons to go to the market to exchange for two pounds of meat and bought a carp, preparing to make a sumptuous meal for Qin Man in the evening.
At 7:30, Jiang Cong came to pick Qin Man up from get off work on time. Qin Man didn't know yet that Jiang Cong had prepared a surprise for her.
After returning home, Jiang Cong boiled hot water for Qin Man to soak her feet, and then he went to cook meat and fish, filling the house with the aroma.
Just as they were getting ready to eat, the landlady came and brought them a big bowl of chicken soup with quite a bit of chicken in it.
"Teacher Jiang, you have worked so hard. Qiaoqiao came back today and told me that she scored over 90 points in math. Your class is number one in math in the grade. Our Qiaoqiao has never scored so many points before. Thank you so much!"
Qiaoqiao's mother was so happy to see her daughter get such a high score in math for the first time that she went straight to the market and bought a chicken, made soup with it, and did not forget to bring a bowl for Jiang Cong.
"Qiaoqiao's mother, you are too polite. Qiaoqiao is smart and she is very serious in class. Besides, teaching students well and improving their grades is what I should do as a teacher. No need to say thank you!" Jiang Cong explained with a smile.
"Teacher Jiang, you are too polite. We are neighbors after all! We live upstairs and downstairs, so we should visit each other more often!" Qiaoqiao's mother put the chicken soup directly on the dining table for the two of them.
"Qiaoqiao's mom, thank you for your help and care for us during this time. If anyone should say thank you, we should be the ones!" Qin Man said embarrassedly.
She saved herself three dollars a month's rent, and whenever she had something delicious, she would have it delivered to her. She didn't know how to express her gratitude.
"What's the big deal? Don't be so formal. Okay, I won't disturb you from eating. I'm leaving now!" Qiaoqiao's mother smiled from ear to ear.
She took a few steps, looked at Jiang Cong next door, and turned back.
"By the way, Teacher Jiang, a new family has moved in next door to you. I heard that they are also teachers in your school. I haven't seen them come to live here for a few days. When I told them that someone else had rented the house, they insisted on staying there and gave me 30 yuan a month in rent. Now they say they won't come. What does that mean?"
Qiaoqiao’s mother was talking about Yang Ru, but Yang Ru has now resigned and has not shown up since Jiang Cong last went to see Director Yang.
"I don't know about this, I'm not familiar with her!" Jiang Cong didn't want to mention anything related to Yang Ru.
"This is really weird. Are you kidding me?" Qiaoqiao's mother rolled her eyes.
The previous tenant was driven away, and now, after paying one month's rent, he suddenly can't come back.
Her loss is huge. Where can she find tenants at this season?
As soon as Qiaoqiao's mother left, Jiang Cong carried the coal stove into the house, then closed the door and prepared to eat. He first served Qin Man a bowl of chicken soup.
Qin Man was drinking heavily, and Jiang Cong took out the remaining fifty yuan of salary.
"Manman, this is my salary for this month!"
Qin Man took it and started counting.
"Why is six dollars missing?" Qin Man looked at Jiang Cong, hoping he could give an explanation.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cong stood up and went back to his room, looking mysterious. When he came out again, he was holding a reddish-brown handbag in his hand.
"We are the top student in math in our class and we have a bonus of 15 yuan this month. I thought that all your colleagues have one, so I wanted to buy one for you. I don't know if you like the one I chose!"
Qin Man looked at the bag in her hand, then looked at Jiang Cong with a smile. Her nose felt a little sour, but her smile was happy.
"Come on, why did you waste this money? Twenty dollars is enough for a month's rent, utilities, and I was planning to buy something knitted, which is cheap and pretty. Who knew you would do it without my permission? Don't do it again next time!" Qin Man blamed him, but her happy expression could not deceive anyone.
