Zhao Xuran was also at a loss, he hadn’t expected that Gong Ruini and the others had another agenda for coming over.
He recalled the strange expressions of several people at the educated youth point when they saw what they were carrying as they left.
Especially after Cai ina said sothing to Cai Ming, everyone quickly disappeared into the house, clearly not wanting to talk to them.
"There’s no choice, our family has no food, we’ve been drinking sweet potato porridge for days." Gong Ruini pitifully said, "Luckily Uncle is a good person."
Not yet out of the danger zone, Gong Ruini decided they had to keep up the act.
Fortunately, Zhao Xuran ca, a clever kid. He realized her and her mother’s act, and although surprised at first, quickly adapted to play along with them.
A true talent, if it were Zhao Guangran, he might end up acting along too but would likely ruin it from the start.
Cai ina couldn’t help but want to laugh, initially, people wanted to greet her, but upon knowing she was there to ask for food, pretended not to know her, "Nothing but petty people."
Not to ntion she hadn’t even spoken, just being Cai Ming’s sister should have warranted a greeting, yet they avoided her so imdiately, it was indeed disheartening.
Seems like there’s sothing behind it all, Zhao Xuran was really curious to know what the people did that pushed Gong Ruini to co up with such an idea.
It’s not surprising why Zhao Xuran was so sure, because he knew that such a bad idea, aside from Gong Ruini, couldn’t have been thought up by the Cai siblings.
As they were preparing to leave the village where Cai Ming lived and cross the mountain, Gong Ruini muttered out what happened to them at the educated youth point.
Of course, it began with Gong Ruini almost becoming a drenched chicken, "They were so outrageous, splashing cold water in such cold weather."
Even if no one at the educated youth point was friendly, there’s no reason to do such a thing.
What, Gong Ruini almost got splashed into a drenched chicken, Zhao Xuran’s expression turned displeased, knowing Gong Ruini was fine, otherwise the girl would have gone off already.
But Zhao Xuran was still worried, "Are you really okay?"
Gong Ruini shook her head, "I’m fine, I was a bit far away, just got a splash, but they’re really too aggressive."
Living at an educated youth point, can’t they communicate properly when sothing happens, must they cause such drama, "How deep must the hatred be."
If it were her, Gong Ruini estimated she wouldn’t want to see the people at all, it was entirely a vendetta level situation.
Is this considered excessive? Zhao Xuran, although not witnessing it firsthand, had heard of much scarier things through rumors, like calculating against each other and ruining girls’ reputations, so deservedly, so due to scheming.
Luckily it was Cai Ming who stayed there, being a man, but who knows what tricks those people might use.
Gong Ruini knew the splashing cold water wasn’t serious, but in this weather, a slight hit without dical attention could lead to big trouble if delayed.
"Then how did you co up with the idea to borrow food later?" Zhao Xuran observed Gong Ruini didn’t take the matter to heart, thinking he should talk with Grandma when they returned, so Ni Zi understands how scheming people outside can be.
Our child doesn’t need to sche against people, but at least shouldn’t let others sche against them, Zhao Xuran silently planned more things for Gong Ruini to learn.
Gong Ruini had no idea she was regarded as a fool in Zhao Xuran’s eyes, and he intended to arrange for her to learn so-called related courses.
At that mont, Gong Ruini was happily sharing her joy with Zhao Xuran, "Let them eat the fruits of my family’s hard work yet sche against us."
"Thinking I am still a child, wanting to know how much food and whether there’s still at at my house from my mouth."
Gong Ruini excitedly told Zhao Xuran along the way how she fooled Tong Juan at the educated youth point, "In the future, my uncle will beco the object of their pity."
Previously, they sched in all sorts of ways, afraid that the little resources in the village would be given to Cai Ming because his starting point was better, but now that they know it’s just a facade, would they still care so much about Cai Ming?
"But if uncle soon becos a teacher, do you think they will not be tempted?" Becoming a teacher in a literacy class was already highly competitive, and it needed day work in the fields.
Teaching sounded much better than fieldwork, though unsure of the inco, it was easier than working in the fields. If Cai Ming continued to stay at the educated youth point, who knows what plans they might concoct.
Ah, ah, ah, no way, Gong Ruini was shaken by Zhao Xuran’s suggestion. Yes, what to do if the school opens, she could let uncle stay at her place; regardless of how Tong Juan and the others fuss, it wouldn’t matter.
The problem is school starts in September, giving plenty of chances to act. Last ti, they used laxatives to make Cai Ming unable to attend assessnts; if they were crueler this ti, what then?
Cai ina was also quite frightened, initially thinking her brother could beco a teacher and be closer, but those people wouldn’t be peaceful. Her brother alone couldn’t fend off so many; what to do.
"Uncle knows martial arts." At this mont, Gong Ruini rembered her uncle wasn’t just a weak scholar. But she wondered if her uncle let them know his skills.
Even if they knew, it doesn’t matter, instead, it serves as a deterrent, letting them know not everyone is a soft target they can bully.
Yes, her brother knew martial arts, Cai ina felt relieved yet still worried, intending to go back and remind her brother to be cautious.
"Mom." Cai ina’s abrupt turnaround startled Gong Ruini, wondering what her mother planned.
"I’m going to remind your uncle." Cai ina gestured for Gong Ruini to head back first, "If it’s late, I’ll return tomorrow morning."
Understanding her mother was panicking, Gong Ruini knew no matter what she said now, her mother wouldn’t listen. Being just a child, she could only look at Zhao Xuran, hoping he, as a big kid, could be listened to.
"Aunt Cai, uncle is going to the village for a trial on the weekend, reminding him then won’t be late." Zhao Xuran was quite helpless, wondering why he, a kid, had to intervene, though he felt pleased by Gong Ruini’s admiring gaze.
"Moreover, Aunt Cai, you just left and going back to see uncle, those people will surely have more thoughts." Although the educated youth seed short-sighted, being able to constantly sche ant they weren’t idiotic.
With a bit of analysis, they might realize sothing’s happening related to Cai Ming, "If they were to guess it’s about the school teacher, what then."
"Aunt Cai, currently the teacher’s position isn’t settled." Principal Wang rely found Cai Ming’s qualifications satisfactory, but the final decision depends on his performance on Sunday.
What if soone rushes to show off in front of Wang Jianming? Principal Wang is a decisive person, otherwise, his position wouldn’t keep getting lowered.
Reluctantly, Cai ina could only suppress her various uneasy expressions, hoping her brother would be cautious and not be sched against again by those people.
