Chapter 36: Extremely Unpopular
As the sun sets, the day's heat finally fades away, and a breeze blows by, bringing a bit of coolness.
Smoke was rising in the courtyard, and the aroma of food was already wafting from many people's homes.
But the aroma of Su's cold noodles has overshadowed the aroma of the food in the past. Everyone looked at the thin cold noodles.
It is as soft as silk, and tastes chewy and fragrant.
The delicious taste is like the QQ candy in children's mouths, accompanied by the fragrant vegetables, which is very memorable.
Su's mother was busy seasoning the food, second brother Gu was in charge of stirring, and Su's father was in charge of washing the dishes.
Gu Jiaojiao's clear voice called on everyone to line up. Su Shuoci had a cardboard box on his knees and was responsible for collecting money and giving change.
At first, he was embarrassed, but when he saw his wife standing bravely among the crowd, he also felt calm.
The business was so good when it first opened that the hardworking people were only concerned about waiting for their own cold noodles and no one recognized the Su family.
Since those who had eaten the cold noodles were very satisfied, they all talked about how delicious it was on the way back.
This attracted another wave of students, and some sharp-eyed students saw Gu Jiaojiao.
"Look, isn't that Gu Jiaojiao selling cold noodles? Doesn't she study anymore?"
"You may not know this yet, but the Sheng family has cut off all ties with her in the newspaper. Without the Sheng family, she is so poor that she can only support herself by setting up a stall."
"Oh, what's the point of studying for a fake daughter? I heard she married a cripple and has no food to eat."
"It's what she deserves. She used to be so high up and looked down on us. Now I want to see how she explains it."
"Let's go and take a look." A classmate took the lead, and everyone jumped past the people in line and squeezed to the front.
"Uh~ you guys go line up at the back. We don't allow queue-jumping." Gu Jiaojiao didn't recognize her former classmate.
"Yoho~ Gu Jiaojiao, you're still pretending not to know us. Are you embarrassed to be seen setting up a stall?"
A girl of about seventeen or eighteen shouted with glee.
"We don't steal or rob, so why should we be ashamed? Do you live by the sea? Why do you mind your business?"
Gu Jiaojiao really didn't recognize her former classmate. She was happy about the booming business today, and she started to argue when she saw someone looking for trouble.
"Who wants to control you? I just can't stand the fact that you, who was so noble, have now fallen to the point of setting up a street stall."
"What does my stall have to do with you? Don't you understand that there is no distinction between high and low occupations?"
"You~ You are totally unreasonable. You are so depraved yet still trying to make sense. Hurry up and give each of us a bowl of cold noodles."
Su Shuoci had good hearing and heard clearly what several people said. He carefully reminded Gu Jiaojiao that this was her classmate.
Gu Jiaojiao was embarrassed for a second: "Classmates also have to queue up, don't say these nonsense, I hate people who go through the back door the most."
"That's right, you think you're so great just because you're a classmate. Go line up at the back." an auntie yelled.
She had eaten a bowl before, and now she brought a bowl from home and stood in line, wanting to buy a bowl to take home for her children to try.
After all, she was only a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and she walked away embarrassedly after being yelled at by the aunt.
Before leaving, he glared at Gu Jiaojiao fiercely, with a look full of mockery.
Gu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at the female classmates who laughed at her.
Once again, I sighed that Gu Jiaojiao’s popularity was so bad in the past that anyone who saw her wanted to step on her.
The female classmates were unwilling to accept this and went to the school gate to spread the news that Gu Jiaojiao had fallen into the state of selling things on the street.
The students who heard it were all sighing, the other female students were gloating, and the male students felt pity for it.
After all, Gu Jiaojiao is their white moonlight! Sheng Xinglian was intimate with Song Zijin in the grove at noon, and forgot the time and was late for class.
I was kept in school by the teacher for half an hour. I came out in a bad mood and heard such explosive news.
She pulled a female classmate over and asked, "Where did you see her setting up a stall? She is speculating and profiteering. You can go and sue her."
These stupid classmates are just good at talking and are ignorant natives. She has to remind everyone.
"What do you mean? Gu Jiaojiao has been in your house for eighteen years. Even cats and dogs would have feelings for her, right? But your Sheng family married her to a cripple. Humph, my family would never do such a thing."
A male classmate who liked Gu Jiaojiao said angrily.
"That's right. I heard that Gu Jiaojiao risked her life to save your mother yesterday. How dare you try to ruin her business?"
"Gu Jiaojiao is already so pitiful, please be more polite."
"If you feel sorry for him, just take him home and keep him as a treasure!" a female classmate who liked the boy angrily retorted.
"Are you sick?" the boy yelled and rode away quickly on the big bar.
Seeing that Sheng Xinglian was so heartless and ungrateful, the male classmates glared at her fiercely before leaving.
The other female classmates were also dragged away by her friend unwillingly.
Sheng Xinglian was left looking at their backs with hatred. She wanted to run to Gu Jiaojiao's cold noodle stall and scold her.

But if she didn't go home for lunch and didn't go home for dinner at night, her mother would definitely be worried.
She was not in a hurry to deal with Gu Jiaojiao, because the male classmate had already had a grudge against her.
Her character is kind and weak, and she can't be in the limelight anymore, so Sheng Xinglian said to her little follower.
"Xiaoyu~ I really don't have any other intentions. I'm just afraid that Jiaojiao will get into trouble and implicate my father."
Xiaoyu really wanted to say directly, you all have cut off ties, so how can you still implicate me?
But her parents favor boys over girls, and she doesn't have enough to eat every day, so she wants to get benefits from Sheng Xinglian.
"Sister Lian'er, don't worry. Your father is very far-sighted. He has long cut off all ties with Gu Jiaojiao. No matter what trouble she gets into, it won't implicate your father."
Sheng Xinglian: ...
Talking to idiots is exhausting!
"Xiaoyu, you don't understand me. I'm actually very worried about Jiaojiao. If she gets arrested, will she still be able to go to college?"
"Sister Lian'er is just too kind. I hope she can't get into college."
Xiaoyu didn't know what Sheng Xinglian meant, so she didn't dare to say anything.
One of them said that he was exhausted but still failed to achieve his goal, and the other answered cautiously, and the two parted unhappily.
As night fell, all the Su family's cold noodles were sold out. Su's mother had originally planned to eat the remaining ones in the evening.
Everyone was very excited and no one spoke on the way home in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the Su family's door, the Gu family members had already gotten up and were sitting in the living room. Second Brother Gu couldn't help but speak.
"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, we sold more than 200 bowls in one afternoon. My God, a bowl costs 30 cents, so 200 bowls is 60 yuan."
"Did you really sell so many?" asked Gu's mother uncertainly.
"Mom, it's almost there. My second brother is amazing. He's so busy, yet he's still counting~"
"Jiaojiao, you will know if you count the money together." Su Shuoci poured the paper box onto the table.
A pile of Mao's banknotes piled up on the table like a small mountain.
"Hey, my dear relatives, take your time counting. The child's mother and I will go to make dinner." Father Su said with a smile on his face.
"Dad, Aunt Gu and I have already cooked the meal." Su Qinchun said.
"Then we'll count the money slowly after we finish our meal, haha..."
