Chapter 759: Jia Zhangshi's wishful thinking

"Oh, Mom knows, Mom knows..."

"What do you know? He must have told you about some subsidy again, right? Mom, why do you listen to his nonsense? Have you never thought about what to do if you get scammed by him?" Jia Dongxu asked, feeling that his mother was not living up to his expectations.

Jia Zhangshi, however, shook her head with a rogue-like attitude: "Mom knows, Mom doesn't care, Mom only recognizes the five yuan. You don't understand; in these times, every family has a hard life!"

"Alright, stop talking. Mom, I'm in so much pain. Let's go home, don't lose face, go back to the room and lie down for a while."

Jia Dongxu sighed, unwilling to discuss this issue with Jia Zhangshi anymore, and turned the topic to what had just happened.

After listening, Jia Zhangshi pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up and said to Jia Dongxu: "Dongxu, I've decided. When you make a lot of money, we'll move to the city to live. Mom doesn't want to suffer this humiliation in this Sihe Academy anymore."

"What?"

Jia Dongxu called out in surprise. He didn't expect Jia Zhangshi to come up with such an absurd idea. In this era, even eating a meal requires grain coupons and meal tickets; how could they just move like that? Not to mention that he, Jia Dongxu, didn't even have a wife yet.

Seeing Jia Dongxu's strong reaction, Jia Zhangshi also knew that she was being a bit wishful, so she gave a sheepish laugh and went silent.

Seeing Jia Zhangshi's disappointed expression, Jia Dongxu said softly: "Mom, I promise you, when I make money, I will definitely take you away!"

"Really?"

Jia Zhangshi's eyes lit up instantly.

"Mm! Really! I promise!" Jia Dongxu nodded heavily.

"Mm, Mom believes you!"

After saying this, Jia Zhangshi held Jia Dongxu's hand and walked quickly toward the Sihe Academy, saying excitedly as they walked: "Dongxu, you didn't see it just now, but when Mom was in the courtyard, Wan Ping'an's eyes were green."

On the other side, Wan Ping'an's matter was also settled. Wan Ping'an looked at the fifteen yuan in his hand and clutched it. From now on, he couldn't let that Jia Zhangshi play these superstitious tricks again.

Wan Ping'an fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Early the next morning, he washed his face and prepared to go to work.

Just as he stepped out of the courtyard gate, he heard the Deaf Old Lady criticizing him to someone else.

"Tell me about this Wan Ping'an. He just became the First Elder and is already causing all these things. Although Jia Zhangshi stealing money yesterday was wrong, he didn't have to hit Jia Dongxu so hard, did he?" the Deaf Old Lady muttered incessantly.

Hearing this, Wan Ping'an cursed the silly old woman in his heart and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her, continuing to walk forward.

Unexpectedly, the Deaf Old Lady seemed to have it in for Wan Ping'an. Seeing him pass by, she immediately called out to him: "Hey, Wan Ping'an, wait..."

Wan Ping'an stopped, frowned, and stared at the Deaf Old Lady, asking: "What for?"

"Hmph, I'm telling you, you'd better stay away from that Jia Dongxu in the future. He didn't even graduate from elementary school and is completely useless. You're still counting on him to help you?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Ping'an scoffed: "What does it have to do with me if he didn't graduate from elementary school?"

"How does it not have anything to do with you? If it weren't for him, how could you have become the First Elder today? He has no job; even if you find him one, he won't be able to do it. So, you'd better take the opportunity to suppress that Jia Dongxu, lest he grows wings and climbs onto your head to crap and pee," the Deaf Old Lady said.

Wan Ping'an sneered: "Heh, no matter what, I am the First Elder of the Sihe Academy now, and Jia Dongxu wouldn't dare to do anything. You'd better take care of your own mouth first, Deaf Old Lady." ===== CHAPTER 761 =====
