"Mom, where did you get my old book?" Wen Juan didn't know that the villagers were already comparing her with Nuan Nuan. She searched in the room for a long time but couldn't find the book, so she ran to the next room and asked Wang Huahua, "That's it.
The books I used to go to school with.”
"Burn." Wang Huahua was sewing clothes for Wen Qiang without even raising his head.
"Burn?" Wen Juan screamed, "Those are all my textbooks."
"It's useless to keep it, you might as well let me set off the fire." Wang Huahua glared at Wen Juan, "What are you yelling at?"
Then he said, "Why are you the only one who came back? Where is Guozhi?"
"I'm busy at work." Wen Juan said angrily.
"You didn't even come back when you got married," Wang Huahua looked at Wen Juan angrily, "Our family is almost drowned in the spit of the villagers."
"It's not because of me that I drowned." Wen Juan muttered, "Anyway, there are many embarrassing things in our family, and this is not the least of them."
"you!"
"Besides, what can I do if he is so busy all day and has no time?" Wen Juan was also very angry, "And those two little ones are not good people. They know how to cause trouble for me in just one day."
Wang Huahua glanced at her, "Is it easy for you to be this stepmother?"
No wonder Wen Nuan refused to agree at first.
"How could I have imagined that those two little things were so smart." Wen Juan sat down on the edge of the kang, "She pretended to be very obedient in front of Guozhi, but once Guozhi left, things turned upside down."
She can't file a complaint yet, and if she does, Lu Guozhi will definitely fall out with her.
"Then you can't think of a way?" Wang Huahua smiled sarcastically, "I see that you are just a bastard, so you know you are going to be tough on me."
"Okay, I understand." Wen Juan just complained to her a few times, "Have I really burned all my books?"
"There's still a little left, you can go look for it in the backyard." Wang Huahua said, looking at Wen Juan again, "You also want to get into college?"
"Everyone in the village has gone crazy now," she shouted, "and they all ran to Nuan Nuan's house to ask Nuan Nuan for guidance."
"You said she didn't even graduate from elementary school, so she can't give guidance." She cursed in a low voice while leading the line.
However, Wen Juan had already run to the backyard, found her old school books in a rotten box, and quickly dug them out. Fortunately, all her high school textbooks were there.
"I'm telling you," Wang Huahua stopped her when she was about to leave, "You and Guozhi live a good life, and hurry up and find someone else to tie Guozhi's heart."
"Don't think about what you have or don't have for a day."
"Is it so easy to get into college?" Wang Huahua said sarcastically, "I think all of you are crazy."
"Just leave it alone, you don't know anything." Wen Juan rolled her eyes, "Are these the books? I'll take a few first, and you can keep the others for me and don't touch them."
"If you don't take them all, I will burn them for you one day."
"You are really my mother," Wen Juan said angrily, "I was bullied by two bastards over there. If I take these books back, will they destroy them?"
"Do you know how hard it is to find these books now? If you still want me to order them, just pack them up for me."
"When I go to college later, you can also benefit from it."
Wang Huahua pursed her lips and wanted to speak but finally swallowed it, "Then put it away. If it gets caught in the rain or gets damaged, I don't care."
Wen Juan stamped her feet and put the book on the top of the wardrobe.
Books alone are not enough, you must also have information. Wen Juan thought for a while and went to Zhu Dongming's house again, "Is Brother Dongming at home?"
"It's Wen Juan who's here," Liu Xiu'e said calmly, "If you're not at home, what do you want?"
"Then I'll come back another day." Wen Juan smiled.
She went to a few people she was close to, but two of them didn't want to take the exam. "My family has already announced a partner for me. I'm going to get married after the Chinese New Year, so why should I go to school?"
"Besides, we didn't learn anything when we were in school, how can we take the exam?"
Finally, there was someone who also had to take the exam. When he heard that he wanted to borrow materials, he quickly shook his head and said, "I want to use them too. If you want, you can come to my house to copy them."
What a joke, she finally gave the information she copied from Nuan Nuan to Wen Juan, so what did she use?
Wen Juan was disappointed with something, but she couldn't blame her. After all, the information was very precious now, but she was asked to find Nuan Nuan? Wen Juan couldn't bear to look at her.
After thinking about it, I finally decided to go to the county bookstore to try my luck, maybe I can encounter some good books or information.
"When the news was released, they were all sold out." The bookstore owner shook his head, "You should go and look elsewhere."
"In the entire county, your family has the most complete collection of books." Wen Juan begged bitterly.
"I can't help you either." The bookstore owner said while sorting the newspapers.
Wen Juan put the money on the newspaper and said, "You must have more connections than me. Can you help me buy some..."
"Girl," the boss pushed the money to her, "it's really difficult to do. I can't get it. Now I'm asking for information everywhere."
"If I could get it, wouldn't I want to earn your money?" He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Wen Juan was a little disappointed.
"Keep the money." The boss reminded her.
And in the next second, Wen Juan's eyes were attracted by the newspaper in his hand.
"Do you want to buy this newspaper?" the bookstore owner said, "Provincial City Daily."
"Buy it." Wen Juan stared at a photo in the newspaper and said through gritted teeth.
In the photo, a man and woman are rowing with a pair of twin children. The photographer is very good at finding angles, and the photos taken show the gentleness of the handsome man and the tenderness of the woman, especially the loving eyes of the woman, looking at the man infatuatedly.
What a happy family of four!
"When was this... newspaper published?" Wen Juan asked tremblingly.
"Today's." The bookstore owner looked at her strangely. Seeing that she had been staring at the pictures in the newspaper, he smiled and said, "This photo should have been taken before."
Wen Juan suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Lu Guozhi said that the work had something to do and he took his two children to the provincial capital to buy some clothes.
You're not going to buy clothes at all. You're probably going to give Zhou Yani a gift, right?
By the way, Zhou Yani is going to Kyoto to go to university in those two days.
How Wen Juan came back, she didn't know.
When she got home, it was a mess again, but this time Wen Juan didn't clean it up as quickly as before, but went back to her room without even looking.
"Yuyu, do you think she is sick?" Lu Jiaming was a little worried.
"Never mind her." Lu Yuming smiled and whispered a few words in Lu Jiaming's ear.
"Is this... okay?" Lu Jiaming hesitated.
"Then do you want to go back to Kyoto?" Lu Yuming said, "Or do you want to stay here with this bad woman all day?"
Lu Jiaming shook his head hastily.
Here, dad is not at home all day, and they have no friends to play with.
When Zhu Dongming came back, he heard Liu Xiu'e say that Wen Juan came to see him, "She didn't even come back. This person is not good. No wonder Wen Juan didn't marry him in the first place."
"Tell me," she asked her son in a low voice, "How come Wen Nuan is so lucky to be able to find such a big ginseng just as soon as he said he could?"
Her son has been in the mountains so many times, why has he never encountered such a good thing?
"Mom, do you really want to say yes?"
Liu Xiu'e was a little embarrassed, "Nothing, nothing."
"I went to inquire about it," Zhu Dongming said, "A ginseng like that can be sold for more than 3,000 yuan in our county. If you get it in the provincial capital or Kyoto, I'm afraid it can be sold several times."
"No...will it?"
"We have to return this money to provide warmth to others."
