Chapter 13: Gossip and Buying a House (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
This explained why Wang Hecui had a familiar and understanding tone towards Cao Wenkai.
Speaking of free love, even though free love was advocated now, there were still many girls who could not help but marry the person appointed by their parents.
Soon, the teacher returned, but Wang Hecui did not return.
Yue Yan's heart sank. The original book did not have a plot where the male main character quarreled with the female supporting characters. Was it affected by the butterfly effect?
Fortunately, she heard someone having a discussion in the corridor during class. The person who wanted to jump off the building was Wang Hecui. She was saved and the school informed her family to bring her home, so she did not come to class.
She heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that she was fine.
When they returned to the classroom, Wang Hecui's friends were slumped on the table. Cao Wenkai was also restless on the other side.
Su Yu was surprised for a while, but she did not sympathize with Wang Hecui. Wang Hecui was too fragile. She wanted to die because of such a small issue.
However, she still asked Cao Wenkai to go to the field with a worried expression. "This isn't your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Everything happened because of me. Don't blame yourself."
Cao Wenkai nodded. "Yes, I won't blame myself."
Su Yu suddenly could not continue on.
She smiled at Cao Wenkai. "Cheer up. We'll visit her after school. After all, she's our classmate."
Cao Wenkai nodded unnaturally.
After school, Yue Yan ran upstairs immediately to share the gossip that happened today with Zhou Boyan.
"Brother Xiaofei, you don't know how bad Cao Wenkai's words were at that time. He even compared Little Cui to the auntie who sold popsicles."
Zhou Boyan nodded in agreement. "This kind of boy is indeed not mature. He's easily angry. I don't recommend being friends with him."
Yue Yan agreed. "Yes, I think there's something wrong with Su Yu too. She said both good things and bad things, but yet she still felt aggrieved."
"Girls like her are scheming. Yueyue, don't be tricked by her."
Yue Yan did not think much of it. "I don't like her. I can't even hear her words. She always looks aggrieved, as if everyone has let her down."
Zhou Boyan smiled. As long as the little girl knew the female main character's true colors, he didn't have to worry that she would become the vicious female supporting character in the book.
After dinner, Wen Hongyu was so surprised that she could not close her mouth when she found out that the father and daughter were going to buy a house.
"Have you thought about it seriously? This is not a small matter!"
Yue Yan patted her chest. "Of course I've thought about it. We can't deposit all the money we earned in the bank, right? Money only increases when it's spent!"
Wen Hongyu tapped her forehead. "You have so many reasons, but I have to go to Grandma's house tomorrow to prevent her from being angry."
Yue Yan did not have any impression of her maternal grandmother in her memory, nor was she written in the plot. She would only know after meeting her.
She asked eagerly, "Then can I go with you tomorrow?"
Before Wen Hongyu could speak, Yue Huaide brought his daughter to his side. "Let's go look at the house tomorrow. Your mother can go back alone."
Yue Yan roughly understood her grandmother's attitude.
Sigh, it was difficult for her mother to be caught in the middle.
She had to think of a way to change her grandmother's attitude towards her father and her.
However, putting herself in her grandmother's shoes, if she was her grandmother and her precious daughter had married an uncultured farmer and had a child with him, she would not have a good attitude towards the big guy who had stolen her baby either.
Yue Yan and her father went out to look for the house together. Yue Huaide was conflicted. "Yueyue, do you think that Daddy is useless?"
Yue Yan asked in surprise, "Dad, do you mind that Grandma doesn't like us?"
Yue Huaide was dejected. "Other children have Grandmas and Uncles to dote on them. You don't even dare to speak when you go to Grandma's house with us. Although your Grandma doesn't scold you, she doesn't get close to you either. It's all Dad's fault."
Yue Yan smiled. "Dad, if I were Grandma, I would also be angry that Mom chose to marry someone else. Grandma doesn't like us, so we have to work harder to earn money and live a good life. We have to let Grandma know that Mom married a good person and that her daughter is a considerate little girl."
She could tell that her mother did not feel disgusted when she mentioned her grandmother, so their mother-daughter relationship did not fall apart. Both sides were still communicating with each other.
Yue Yan guessed that the biggest annoyance in her grandmother's heart was that her mother had married without permission. With Wen Hongyu's conditions, there were many people who wanted her even though she was to remarry, and she had married a country bumpkin whose conditions were far inferior to her grandmother's.
Although it was a little bad to describe her father like this, Yue Yan hoped that her father would work hard and let her mother live a better life so that she wouldn't be regretting her choice back then.
Yue Huaide agreed. "You're right. It's time for Dad to think about the future. I can't let you behave carefully every time you go to Grandma's house."
Yue Yan went upstairs and called Zhou Boyan to go house searching with them. Grandma Zhou opened the door for her.
"Xiaofei is doing his homework in his room."
Yue Yan knocked on the door.
"Come in. The door is unlocked." Zhou Boyan's voice came from inside.
Yue Yan pushed open the door. Zhou Boyan was concentrating on his physics experiment. It looked like it was about to end.
She didn't say anything and stood at the side, waiting for Zhou Boyan to finish his work.
"Alright, it's done." Zhou Boyan stretched.
"Eh, when did Yueyue come?"
Yue Yan said helplessly, "Brother Xiaofei, you let me in five minutes ago."
"I'm sorry. I was too engrossed in the experiment."
Yue Yan smiled faintly. "It's alright. It looks quite interesting, although I don't understand it. I'm here to ask you to go house searching with us. My father is waiting for us downstairs."
Zhou Boyan and her hurried downstairs. Zhou Boyan was apologetic. "Uncle, sorry to have kept you waiting. I was delayed for a while."
