"Of course, I won’t refuse."
The speaker is Su’s mother, who said firmly while Su Chengji hesitated.
Zhou Wenxiu looked at Su’s mother, snorted coldly, full of disdain.
"Just for Zhou Wenxiu slapping Xiao ng last night, and today again throwing a teacup at Xiao ng, this money must be taken."
After Su’s mother finished speaking, quite a few people sighed in relief.
This Su Jianyi really isn’t well-liked by relatives, let alone Zhou Wenxiu.
Their son is handso, but he lacked good family education from an early age, resulting in being just like his parents, looking down on people.
If Su Chengji’s family also gave the property left by Su Jigang to Su Jianyi, it always gives that feeling... like evil people have not been punished.
Ba Zizzi was also nervous and sweating.
She wondered if it was just her illusion, but Su Li Hao’s family seed increasingly destitute...
Her father has been demoted from secretary-general of the city governnt to an ordinary position so humble it couldn’t be more ordinary.
And Su Li Hao, returning from overseas, the diploma in his hand feels like a piece of blank paper, frequently rejected by large corporations.
Now, he’s working at a dium-sized private enterprise.
As for the future mother-in-law...
Seeing her current state of madness, Ba Zizzi couldn’t help but feel her spine chill.
The noblewoman-like appearance of their first eting is completely gone, what’s left is just an uncouth village woman.
Compared to the rural people she insults, Ba Zizzi feels this "future mother-in-law" is not even as good as the rural folks.
She’s... feeling like running away...
A morning passed in the quarrel over the "inheritance issue."
Su Jianyi’s family stayed at Su Jigang’s house.
If they weren’t the only daughter-in-law, son, and grandson of Su Jigang, they would prefer to leave Su Family Village imdiately.
They didn’t have lunch, and when Su Jianyi and his wife returned to their room, they started arguing again.
Su Jianyi thinks Zhou Wenxiu is making too much fuss!
While Zhou Wenxiu berates Su Jianyi for being weak...
Su Li Hao stood outside the door listening, and Ba Zizzi stood beside him...
"Your family... is really complicated..."
She said lightly, and just that one sentence seed to have hit a nerve in Su Li Hao, who imdiately got agitated, "If you’re not happy staying here, you can leave."
"Now you think our whole family is quite ridiculous, right?"
"Su Li Hao, are you out of your mind?!"
"Yes, I’m crazy! You better leave now!"
Ba Zizzi gritted her teeth, giving Su Li Hao a hard shove, "Who wants to live with a bunch of lunatics like you!"
After saying that, Ba Zizzi stord back to the room, packed her bag, and dragged her suitcase to leave.
As she left, she passed Grandpa Su’s house, where he was sitting at the door feeding Su Sheng, the younger son of her cousin.
Su Sheng is two and a half years old and already able to speak quite a few words.
"Auntie... wheels, rolling, rolling..."
Su Sheng pointed at Ba Zizzi dragging her rolling suitcase at a distance.
He intended to express that the wheels on Ba Zizzi’s suitcase were rolling on the ground, which seed fun.
But coincidentally, Ba Zizzi just heard these three words "roll, roll, roll."
Stopping in front of Su Xiaong, she got angry, "Did you teach him that?"
Su Xiaong was confused, stood up, "What?"
"Did you teach him to tell to leave?!"
Su Xiaong paused for a mont, then burst into laughter, "Miss Ba, you’re being too sensitive, the child probably just saw your rolling suitcase and babbled so words, why would you think so much?"
Ba Zizzi frowned.
"What, where are you going?"
"None of your business."
Ba Zizzi said angrily, continuing to walk towards the village entrance.
Su Xiaong watched her back, vaguely guessing she’s going back, then didn’t think much and continued to feed Su Sheng.
Shuangshuang and Huang Huang can’t stay away from Xiao ng too long, once it’s prolonged, the two kids feel very insecure.
So even before the Yin Family elders urged her, Xiao ng packed her luggage to return to Beijing.
The seventh day after Third Grandpa’s passing hadn’t even passed before she left.
Su Jin, like Xiao ng, delayed reporting to school due to Third Grandpa’s death.
So when returning to Beijing, they went together.
On the plane, the two chatted all the way.
Su Jin is easier to get along with than Su Xiaong imagined, she thought this cousin might not like chatting or being close.
Actually, that’s not the case, she’s just slow to warm up and doesn’t try too hard in interactions.
"A University’s computer science departnt... Wow, that’s quite a freakishly tough departnt..."
Xiao ng was scared to death upon hearing Su Jin say she’s a computer science student!
For soone like her, half a slacker, when it cos to departnts like computer science, just thinking of it fills her mind with arranging numbers, programming code...
Sotis she sees Yin Shixiu typing code in front of the computer, she stays far away, fearing he might suddenly pull her over to teach her a bit.
Yin Shixiu now really has a bad habit.
Regarding things she doesn’t understand, isn’t familiar with, or is confused by, he’s extrely patient to explain and wants to teach her everything.
That’s exactly the look of a good husband and true friend.
But...
Xiao ng felt her brain capacity was just so big, any more and it might explode.
"It’s not that scary. Compared to Sister Xiaong learning languages, I still find knocking out so codes and programming a bit more manageable."
"Is that so?"
Su Xiaong laughed, patted her head, and said, "Learning a language isn’t that hard. It’s all about reading more, morizing more, listening more, speaking more—"
Xiao ng hadn’t finished before Su Jin hurriedly reached out to stop her, "That’s enough. Just hearing that much already makes want to die!"
Su Jin put on a "Sister, spare " expression, which amused Su Xiaong.
They say the friendship between girls is complicated, but in reality, it’s just about not eting soone compatible. Once you et them, that friendship becos purer and simpler.
"I feel whether it’s coding or programming, at least they have a formula, a frawork to follow. Once you grasp the rules, it’s not that hard. But language...as far as I can see, it’s all morizing and reading, and even with so-called rules, there’s always one or two exceptions."
As Su Jin spoke, she shook her head, "I think those who study languages are amazing."
Su Jin’s words were heartfelt, without any intention of flattering Xiao ng.
This slightly vain Xiao ng felt her self-esteem satisfyingly boosted, feeling a bit smug inside...
Looks like she’s still quite remarkable...
"So Xiao Jin, you chose science for your college entrance exam, right?"
"Hmm."
"If your English had been a little better, you could’ve gotten into Tsinghua or Peking University, right?"
"Um..."
Su Jin looked at Xiao ng...
"Sister, I’ve done my best on this English exam, it’s impossible to score higher."
"How can you say it’s ’impossible’? What did you score in English?"
Xiao ng was just casually asking, though she vaguely hoped to find a bit of satisfaction in her little sister’s English score...
"147."
Damn! Damn damn damn!
Su Xiaong was stunned at the ti! Her mouth opened, then silently closed again...
Su Jin didn’t really realize anything, seeing Su Xiaong suddenly fell silent, then blinked, "Sister?"
Su Xiaong took a deep breath, calming herself...
"Ah! You call that bad at languages! You scored 147!"
Thinking back to the year she barely scraped past 120.
Xiao ng just couldn’t calm down!
Su Jin was startled by her reaction, quickly making a "shh" with her index finger, signaling Xiao ng to keep it down.
"I never said I’m bad at languages. I just don’t like studying them because they’re too boring. But for the college entrance exam, what can you do? For pure morization stuff, you can’t afford to lose points, right?"
For pure morization stuff, you can’t afford to lose points, right...
Su Jin’s words echoed in Su Xiaong’s mind throughout the rest of the flight.
This girl Su Jin, is she a monster or sothing...
Afterwards, Xiao ng didn’t speak to Su Jin, like she was sulking.
Su Jin didn’t have the delicate and sensitive mindset of a typical girl, so she really mulled it over for a while before realizing she might have unintentionally hurt Sister Xiaong...
Thinking of saying sothing to comfort Su Xiaong...
Su Xiaong raised her hand to stop her, grumpily saying, "I don’t understand you academic tyrants’ world, don’t talk to , I want to be left alone."
Su Jin was amused by Xiaong’s serious deanor.
"You cheeky girl, how dare you laugh at !"
Xiao ng, not having any of it, reached out to tickle her.
Su Jin quickly begged for rcy.
The two girls received quite a few sidelong glances from fellow travelers this flight.
Arriving at Capital Airport, they collected their luggage and just ca out when they saw Yin Shixiu standing beside, wearing sunglasses, a beige trench coat over a shirt and dress pants.
This man was just too conspicuous...
Xiao ng spotted him and waved; Yin Shixiu walked to the front of the corridor, opened his arms, and gave her a hug. He kissed her hair, murmuring in a voice only Xiao ng could hear, "Missed you."
Xiao ng’s heart was warm, " too."
The two hugged briefly and let go.
Xiao ng introduced Su Jin to Yin Shixiu, "I’ve ntioned her to you, my uncle’s youngest daughter, Su Jin."
"Hello, brother-in-law."
Su Jin had a bad habit. She was nearsighted, both eyes over 300 degrees, not too deep, but with severe astigmatism. Yet she just didn’t like wearing glasses when walking.
Not even contact lenses.
Walking and looking at signs on the roadside didn’t make a difference, but when looking at people from a distance, it was all a blur.
And she never cared about this.
In her view, walking was just walking, she didn’t need to recognize people, nor did she need to look around.
So when she first walked out, she couldn’t see Yin Shixiu’s face clearly, just sensing an exceptionally noticeable figure in the crowd.
It was only when she got closer that she realized the brother-in-law was quite good-looking.
Su Jin could tell beauty from ugliness but she wasn’t a fangirl, wasn’t particularly turned on by handso guys. To her, she wouldn’t pay more attention to the superficial.
So Yin Shixiu being good-looking didn’t particularly make Su Jin have more affection for him.
Su Jin’s genuine admiration for him erged slowly in their interactions over ti.
