Chapter 1730: No Enemies Last Forever
Your mother is right; that is a bottomless pit. If we keep filling it like this, our family simply cannot afford it, no matter how much money we have.
Moli said, "Then what should we do? Do we really have to go to court? Nothing has even happened yet, and my mother is already sick from the anger. If we go to court two more times, won't it just worry her to death?"
Sheng Zerong sighed and said, "I am also worried about this matter. I was thinking of discussing it with you to see if you have any good ideas. If not, we could go find your aunt; she has many ideas and can always come up with a good solution."
Moli disagreed. He said, "I've watched since I was little—whenever anyone has a problem, they go to my aunt. She has a family of her own and is very busy, and she doesn't owe us anything. It's not right to keep bothering her whenever we have difficulties. I'll think of a way myself."
"By the way, is the son of the little step-aunt in high school now?"
When Moli went to his grandfather's house, he had seen Wu Ying's son a few times. Although the frequency of their meetings wasn't high, the impression was very deep.
He was a clean-cut boy, very introverted, very polite, and his academic grades were very good.
Every time he saw his mother, it was like a mouse seeing a cat; he would immediately return to his own room.
Aunt Wan'er often compared Wu Ying's son to her own three daughters, saying that if her triplets were even half as quiet as Zhou Yuhang, she would wake up laughing from her dreams.
Of course, the triplets couldn't do that, but they grew to resent Zhou Yuhang and tried every way to tease him whenever they visited. Once, when Moli had eaten a bit too much at his grandfather's house and went outside to walk it off, he accidentally discovered Zhou Yuhang hiding not far away.
There were tears on his face, and he was holding a book, sobbing as he read and cried.
This was the first time Moli had seen such a strange sight. He had never seen anyone who could read so seriously while being so sad.
Not long before, Zhou Yuhang had just been bullied by the triplets.
He went over and chatted with him for a while, and it was only then that Moli discovered Zhou Yuhang was a very ambitious child.
He wanted to change his destiny through knowledge, so that he and his mother would no longer be looked down upon from then on.
But that was the only time they talked, and they never met again after that.
When his son suddenly brought up Zhou Yuhang, Sheng Zerong thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, I heard he is at Erzhong, in his third year of high school."
"At Erzhong?" Moli's eyes lit up.
"Yes, why?"
"I have a plan, but I won't tell you yet!"
Sheng Zerong:...
Moli spent half the day at home keeping his mother company before being sent back to school by Jian Yixin.
She didn't have much to do, and her son's studies were the most important thing.
When Moli returned to school, the first thing he did was find his girlfriend and ask if she knew Zhou Yuhang.
Su Qiangying said, "There is a student in my mother's class with that name, but I don't know if it's the person you're talking about. Do you have a photo?"
"I think I have one. Wait a second, let me look."
Moli remembered that during a dinner gathering, his grandfather wanted the whole family to take a group photo. Zhou Yuhang originally didn't want to participate, but he was dragged out by his mother and stood at the very edge for the shot.
At the time, everyone had a smile on their face, except for him, who kept his head down and eyes lowered, his lips pursed, looking very reluctant.
Because his expression was wrong, they had to retake it several times, which caused dissatisfaction among others...
Found it.
Although Zhou Yuhang was looking down, Su Qiangying recognized him at a glance.
"It's him, no doubt. Not only do I know him, I'm actually very familiar with him. This student has excellent grades and is very sensible..."
She stopped halfway through her sentence and asked, "Why are you asking about him?"
Moli: "I have a story, but it's a long one..."
Over an hour later.
This long story was finally finished. Su Qiangying heroically patted her boyfriend on the shoulder and, letting bygones be bygones, said, "Tell your mother that I will solve this trouble for her."
Moli:...
Although that was his intention too, having his girlfriend snatch the initiative made him feel a bit uneasy.
He reminded her: "Don't do a bad deed with good intentions; don't forget what happened last time."
Last time, Su Qiangying acted on her own initiative, thinking it was for her own good, but it was described by Moli as "doing a bad deed with good intentions."
This made her feel quite comfortable, as she felt her boyfriend was of one mind with her, which made her even more determined to help.
Loving the house and its crow, Moli's headache was her own difficulty, and it had to be solved!
She took full responsibility and said, "Just leave this matter to me with peace of mind. I guarantee I'll solve it for you clearly and beautifully."
The next day.
Erzhong campus.
Zhou Yuhang was holding a book and reading on campus when he heard someone calling him: "Yuhang, Yuhang!"
He looked up and saw the teacher's daughter.
Zhou Yuhang walked over happily and said kindly, "Sister, are you looking for our teacher? The teacher is in the office; I'll take you there." When he spoke to Su Qiangying, his face was full of smiles.
Zhou Yuhang had an introverted personality, and his special family background made him very quiet. He was sensitive and timid, and he basically had no friends at school.
Teachers all like students who study well, and Su Qiangying's mother was no exception.
Besides taking care of Zhou Yuhang in his studies, she also looked after every aspect of his life.
She not only arranged friends for him but also often invited him to their home for meals and encouraged him to participate in more extracurricular activities.
Because he often went to the teacher's house, he became familiar with Su Qiangying and had always called her sister.
Su Qiangying smiled and said, "No, I'm not looking for her; I'm looking for you."
"Looking for me?"
"Yes, looking for you. You have P. E. class next, so would you mind walking outside with me? I've already spoken to your teacher, and he agreed to give you time off."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Sister."
Although Zhou Yuhang didn't know what it was about, he obediently followed Su Qiangying out of the school and sat down on a bench outside.
"I heard your mother is currently in a lawsuit with someone."
His face instantly turned bright red, and he lowered his head, twisting his hands together, looking very conflicted.
He did not speak, and Su Qiangying did not speak either.
She was waiting, waiting for Zhou Yuhang to take the initiative to speak.
Zhou Yuhang finally spoke, in a tiny voice: "You, how did you know?"
His mother was in a lawsuit with the Jian Family, and in truth, he strongly disagreed with it.
Although living under someone else's roof always had its dissatisfactions, he was also grateful to Jian Xiansheng; if the old gentleman had not married his mother back then to give them a place to settle down and make a living.
He would have likely dropped out of school long ago at his uncle's house, and his mother would have been bullied to death by his aunt.
After his mother brought him here, Jian Xiansheng helped him find a very good elementary school, which allowed him to test into a good middle school and a key high school all the way through!
Now that his mother was doing this, he felt it was returning kindness with enmity, yet his mother and aunt both said it was all for his own good.
He feared others knowing about this matter most of all, but he had not expected it to be known by others so quickly, and by someone he cared about very much at that.
Su Qiangying had a straightforward personality and got straight to the point: "It's quite a coincidence, my boyfriend's mother is named Jian Yixin, and she is your mother's stepdaughter."
