Chapter 219: 212: Coming to the Door
Sang Zhilan’s presence is just as revolting to her as Wei Jiani’s.
It would be better if she could avoid their faces for the rest of her life, how could she stand seeing them every time she looks up and down?
“Did you hear me?” Sang Zhilan’s pent-up anger spoke out when Tang Yuxin did not speak for a long time.
“I heard you,” Tang Yuxin replied lightly.
She then turned around and left straightaway, too lazy to waste time arguing with Sang Zhilan. Sang Zhilan really thinks she can make her give up her own studies and her lifelong dream, to tutor the one who stole her husband, ruined her life, her true enemy?
Does she think too highly of her?
Or does she really see her as malleable as bread, easy to mold and shape?
After school, Tang Yuxin was still copying questions on the blackboard. It’s rough being a grade 9 student, not able to go home until all the problems are copied down. And even after arriving home, she still had to solve these problems.
Fortunately, she now has three friends. Their presence at this time serves as mutual encouragement and creates a good learning environment.
As soon as Chen Lidong’s mother gets off work, she comes directly to take care of these three children. Nothing is more important than her son’s high school entrance exam. If they get into a good high school, then they could get into a good university.
“Yuxin, let’s go,” Xu Miaomiao had already helped to tidy up and was waiting for Tang Yuxin to finish copying the problems so that they could go home and study these problems together.
‘Uh huh, I know.”
Tang Yuxin packed her pens and briefly checked her work for any mistakes. Once satisfied, she put her notebook into her backpack.
Just as the three of them were leaving the school gate, they halted.
“Why is she following us?”
Xu Miaomiao frowned, pointing at Wei Jiani who had been tailing them since they left school.
“Yuxin, did you get a new student?”
Xu Miaomiao didn’t like Wei Jiani at all. She found her annoying just like a peacock. She used to make sharp remarks when Miaomiao wasn’t doing well at school.
Now that she’s doing better, she had more sour words to offer.
What good does saying all these do? Instead of chattering, wouldn’t it be better to improve her academic performance? Always busy arguing, if they really had to take someone else in, they would rather it be another nerd from class.
Tang Yuyu pretended not to see.
“I don’t have time to teach students. I’m a student myself.”
Was she stupid? As a grade 9 student herself, why should she sacrifice her own time to tutor someone else? Remember, it’s someone else. As for Sisi, she would even forgo her own exams to get Sisi on the better track, otherwise, she would fight until she succeeds.
“Let’s go and ignore her.”
Xu Miaomiao took Tang Yuxin’s arm and walked away. As for Chen Lidong, he was carrying three big book bags on his shoulders and couldn’t help but sigh. Being a man is indeed hard.
At first, Wei Jiani was standing arrogant and proud in the classroom, waiting for Tang Yuxin to invite her for tutoring. However, after a long wait, Tang Yuxin completely ignored her and went home. By then, Jiani’s face had visually lengthened even more. But thinking about her own grades, she clenched her teeth and followed them. All the same, the trio didn’t give her a second glance, or even a word.
When they reached Tang Family’s house, Xu Miaomiao even slammed the door shut. On the spot, Wei Jiani was wronged and started crying.
“Mom, Mom…”
When Wei Jiani got back home, she began to cry her heart out in Sang Zhilan’s arms.
“What happened, Nini? Who bullied you?” Sang Zhilan was frightened upon seeing her daughter in tears like this. Who could have bullied her daughter so badly?
“Mom, what kind of deal did you make with Tang Yuxin?” Wei Jiani wiped her face with her hand, and the more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt and the more she cried.
“What happened to her?” The moment she heard Tang Yuxin’s name, Sang Zhilan’s heart instinctively started to choke.
“What else could it be? Mom, she locked me out! Mother, you lied to me, you said she would tutor me, didn’t you say she agreed?”
With these words, Sang Zhilan was seething with rage. That’s the way you want it? Sure, good, let’s play then! She dares, she actually dares?
Without a second thought, Sang Zhilan hopped onto her bike and pedaled off to Tang Family’s house, unable to stay a minute longer.
What a well-brought-up daughter Tang Zhinian has!
She pedaled directly to Li Tang Village, but when she found the residence of Tang Zhinian, it was already in ruins.
Did they move out?
She quickly approached a child, asking anxiously if he knew where Tang Zhinian moved to.
“Are you asking about Uncle Zhinian?” The child stretches his finger towards the entrance of the village, “It’s right at the start of the village, the house with the large red door, right next to the store.”
Sang Zhilan was taken aback.
She passed by that house just now.
At that time, she wondered which family built such a nice house. It must have cost at least 10,000 to 20,000. Considering that the house is at least four or five years old, how much would that amount be worth today?
When she realized that it was Tang Zhinian who built it, she felt even more sour, as though the money used to build the house was taken from her.
She quickly turned her bike around, riding straight to the house and banging on the door.
Soon, the door opened, and Zhang Xiangcao saw Sang Zhilan, her hair disheveled.
Who are you? Seeing Zhang Xiangcao irked Sang Zhilan even more, making her think she was Tang Yuxin’s new daughter-in-law. Especially now that she had aged and her everyday factory work had worn her down. She hadn’t bought new clothes in a long time, her hair hadn’t been tidied for ages, and she had been running back and forth between home and work all day – where would she find the time to do anything else?
Yet this woman here was both young and fashionable, even her hair was in a trendy perm, she looked even more sophisticated than city folk.
Zhang Xiangcao looked Sang Zhilan up and down, she felt she looked familiar, but couldn’t recall where she had seen her before.
Seeing Zhang Xiangcao didn’t respond, Sang Zhilan barged into the house, shouting, “Tang Zhinian, Tang Zhinian, come out right now! Explain to me how you raised my daughter, why did she turn out the way she did?”
As soon as Sang Zhilan mentioned Tang Zhinian, a light bulb went off in Zhang Xiangcao’s head.
