“You should hurry back to school. How expensive is the bus fare to and from the county? Don’t bother going back and forth here.”
After coming out of Yun Xi’s house, Liu Fang felt that she had lost all her pride. She hurriedly chased Yun Lian back to school. After all, she still had to cook for her husband and Yun Lang when she returned home.
“I don’t want to go back to school. I want to stay at home for a period of time and wait for this matter to calm down before returning to school to continue studying.”
Yun Lian retorted.
“Do you think that there will be such good things in the world? Why are you thinking so wishfully, little girl? If you don’t want to study, then don’t go to school and return the tuition fees to me. Otherwise, you can just stay in school.”
Liu Fang shook Yun Lian’s hand away.
As soon as she returned home, Liu Fang saw Yun Gang sitting angrily at home. When he saw Liu Fang’s figure, he immediately started cursing.
“Where have you been wandering all day? Don’t you know that I’ve been busy outside all day? When I came home, I didn’t even have a hot meal. What do you want? Is this home too much?”
Liu Fang had just suffered a setback, and now that she had returned home, she could not bear the scolding anymore.
“Don’t you know how to learn to cook? Look at Yun Lin, who also knows how to cook a simple dish for himself when his wife is busy. Don’t tell me that you have to rely on me to do everything every day?”
Yun Gang did not expect Liu Fang to be so hot-tempered today. He was still not used to it.
“Let me tell you, this family is supported by you and me. Do you still think that you were an official like you were in the past? Be nicer to me in the future.”
Liu Fang was just hard on her words, but she was actually soft-hearted to Yun Gang. After saying these words, she tidied herself up and went to the stove to cook for the family.
“I learned something while working today.”
Yun Gang also felt that his words were a little hurtful. Moreover, this family really could not live without Liu Fang, so he quickly changed his attitude and began to change the topic.
“What is it?” Liu Fang put some oil under the stove and stuck a bunch of firewood, then raised her head to look at Yun Gang.
“There’s an insider’s story behind the matter of me being sent to clean the toilets. Do you still remember how Yun Xi befriended the county head after she gave him ginseng?”
“Of course, I know. The livelihood you have now depends on the relationship between Yun Xi and the county head. Although the monthly salary isn’t particularly high, with a salary in hand, it’s better than not earning any money. At least now you can earn a living.”
Liu Fang continued to look down at the stove.
“Now I know clearly that the job I was offered was definitely not just one of cleaning toilets. I was reduced to this state entirely because Yun Xi had instructed our county head to embarrass me.”
“What? There’s actually such a thing?”
Liu Fang was also greatly shocked.
“Now I’m thinking of going to the county to look for that girl, Yun Xi. I need to properly theorize and make her arrange a new position for me. Otherwise, I’ll make her bear the crime of making things difficult for her elders.”
Yun Gang and Liu Fang discussed, and in their hearts, they already began to feel that they would be able to get a more decent job in the future and return to their original standard of living.
“I’ve already made a trip to the county today. Yun Xi forced Yun Lian to be unable to live in the school. I originally wanted to ask for an explanation, but Yun Xi didn’t care about us and revealed that Yun Lian was almost raped in the past. Presumably, if we go now, we won’t be able to get any benefits. We still have to consider this matter from a long-term perspective.”
Liu Fang thought for a moment and said,
“Good. This matter is actually related to our life in the future. We really should plan it well.”
Chen Li’s eyelids had been twitching back in the county. She always felt that something bad was going to happen next.
