Wan Qiweng knew that this courtyard was quite large, but she hadn’t expected there to be so much mystery inside the house.
"So many quails have been raised."
"Yes, with many family mbers and many of us studying, eating so at can be quite nourishing." Actually, everyone was thinking that if they went to Beijing in the future, they might not be able to eat at, so they prepared more at on purpose.
Recently, so many quails have been hatched, just to serve as raw materials for making pickled quail.
As soon as Wan Qiweng asked, she realized she might have spoken out of turn, because now that there was less regulation, many families would excessively raise poultry; after all, eggs could be exchanged for money, and they could eat chicken at the end of the year.
"Co on in, it’s warm inside." Cai Ming walked to the door, thinking that his place wasn’t suitable for hosting guests.
It wasn’t too ssy to et people, but it was filled with review materials that couldn’t be seen by others, wondering what to do about this.
Cai Ming helplessly looked at Zhao Gang.
Wan Qiweng was still puzzled as they invited her in, yet they stood at the door and wouldn’t let her in. There must be so secret inside, like their review materials.
At this thought, Wan Qiweng felt thrilled, but she didn’t think they would be that trusting.
Such a silly boy, Zhao Gang unwillingly pulled Cai Ming aside to ask Wan Qiweng’s situation, as this room was currently their biggest secret.
"She keeps her mouth pretty tight, and she’s nice to ." Cai Ming thought well of Wan Qiweng.
Feign it, Zhao Gang sneered inwardly; even Gong Ruini saw that Wan Qiweng might have intentions toward Cai Ming. Sigh, but he thought even if the girl liked Cai Ming, they might not end up together.
After all, it’s clear they don’t belong on the sa path. Since Cai Ming won’t admit it, and the girl says nothing, why should he be the bad guy?
"Co in then." Since Cai Ming trusted her, Zhao Gang thought it was necessary to trust her once too.
Just like that, she went in? If it weren’t for their sneaky manner earlier, Wan Qiweng wouldn’t have dared to overthink, thinking she was overthinking. But once inside, she was dumbfounded.
There were so many test papers that Wan Qiweng was stunned.
Knowing Cai Ming and his friends had secrets, maybe they truly had test papers, but she hadn’t expected such a thick stack. If word got out, it would arouse much jealousy.
At this mont, Wan Qiweng understood why they were so experienced earlier. In her place, she’d be surprised too and might not let others in.
"This doesn’t make sense, why let her in?" Gong Ruwen, a child, truly couldn’t understand why they let Wan Qiweng in, not knowing it would bring trouble.
Gong Ruini shrugged, indicating she didn’t know. Poor child, how could he not understand?
"You’re silly. This girl’s smart, and uncle doesn’t have a girlfriend." Zhao Guangran whispered, knowing he was amazed earlier, not expecting to see such a beauty.
If she could beco his aunt, how great that would be. Zhao Guangran loved looking at beauties and wouldn’t miss a good one.
Aunt? Zhao Guangran’s words displeased Gong Ruwen, "How co uncle has no girlfriend?"
Although Gong Ruwen admitted that uncle’s girlfriend wasn’t as pretty as Wan Qiweng, since she’d waited years for uncle, their uncle couldn’t be like Chen Shii and be condemned.
Soone they’d never t could not be a girlfriend, could she? Zhao Guangran pouted. Sigh, since they insisted, why should he be the bad guy?
"This person is not bad." Zhao Xuran comnted solely on Wan Qiweng.
Wasn’t that stating the obvious? Gong Ruini certainly knew the person wasn’t bad, otherwise Zhao Gang wouldn’t have agreed to let Wan Qiweng in, and even if she was Cai Ming’s friend, rules had to be followed.
"Really, can I co here to study every day?" Wan Qiweng was dumbfounded; she hadn’t expected such good fortune.
To think she said earlier she wouldn’t go to Wang Gang’s side, but many called her foolish, saying she didn’t even want to see materials first.
Although they urged her to go, Wan Qiweng noticed they seed satisfied with her choice, as she was one less competitor, and she truly didn’t want to see their smug faces.
Is it only Wang Gang and Li Jing who keep secrets? Who knows how many others hide things, and when they criticize Wang Gang and others, are they internally uneasy?
"If they knew I had a chance to go through so many test papers, they’d probably go mad." With such scarce materials so many fought over, who knows the result, but here it’s different.
So many papers to try, and moreover, there’s teacher guidance. Wan Qiweng noticed all these papers had been done.
Zhan Jing watched Wan Qiweng’s excited expression and smiled. Actually, while observing the papers, Zhan Jing and others were watching Wan Qiweng, hoping to catch any sign of insincerity in her eyes.
But no matter how they looked, they only saw Wan Qiweng’s excitent, not a hint of jealousy, which relieved Zhan Jing and others, or they’d regret inviting her.
"From now on, co early in the morning and leave at night, taking the papers with you." They could have let Wan Qiweng stay here, but with Cai Ming, a single man, residing here, it was absolutely unacceptable.
Although this place was quite remote, people could notice, and if it were discovered that Wan Qiweng stayed overnight, who knows how much gossip would arise?
Cai Ming, being a man, needn’t worry, but Wan Qiweng was a girl, and it would ruin her reputation. Such matters can’t be allowed to happen.
"Sure, sure, thank you, thank you." Wan Qiweng never intended to overnight, even though she was the only one at the Zhiqing point, and few would notice her whereabouts, it didn’t an no one was watching.
If there was no light at the Zhiqing point at night, who knows how much gossip would arise the next day, thinking of so people’s tricks over the years, Wan Qiweng felt various displeasure, but thankfully, soon she could return to Beijing, which improved her mood a lot.
"I’d better head back now." Wan Qiweng knew they might need to discuss more, as suddenly involving another person wasn’t a small matter, "No matter what, thank you all."
"And I won’t talk much." Wan Qiweng assured she wouldn’t gossip about anything.
"Be careful on your way back. Oh and Cai Ming, see her off." Cai ina increasingly felt Wan Qiweng was a good person.
Unfortunately, her brother had soone in mind already, Cai ina felt it a pity, but eting more people wasn’t bad.
Cai ina rembered Cai Ming ntioning once that Wan Qiweng was from the Imperial City; they were all going there for their studies, having a local acquaintance is nice.
Whether renting or buying a house, having soone to assist is better than groping in the dark, not knowing anything.
