Chapter 55

When he said he wanted to marry Fu Yujing, the old man looked down on her.

But he was focused on the other person’s appearance and weak demeanor. Everything else was secondary. After all, his family background was not weak, and he had decided to teach at a university after graduation.

The old man originally wanted to introduce him to a comrade-in-arms’ daughter, who was a female soldier in the army.

He was young and inexperienced at the time, and he thought that such a girl was not girlish at all, so he liked to depend on him and follow his will.

If he had known that marrying Fu Yujing would bring him a disaster in life, he would have never said anything…

Does he regret it?

Definitely regret it.

Only when you have suffered the pain of being a fool yourself can you open your eyes and see the people around you clearly.

The verdict on Qiao Yaozu and others has been announced.

Those scoundrels could not escape the fate of having their peanuts eaten, but Qiao Yaozu was the only one sentenced to five years in prison in a fenced yard.

When this incident came out, the second-rate guy’s family cried their hearts out.

Go to the police station and cry? It’s useless.

They gathered in the compound where Zhang Fu lived and took turns crying day and night.

The screams of ghosts and the howling of wolves make people unable to live in peace.

Zhang Fu, who used to be full of vigor and vitality, now hides when he sees people and walks with his head down.

Professor Zhang was such a respectable person, but he instantly became the target of everyone’s weirdness in the yard.

If Zhang Fu is having a hard time, will Fu Yujing be having an easier time?

It is difficult to go back to frugality after living a luxurious life for a long time.

Her father-in-law is a high-ranking official, and her husband is a university professor. When they are out, she never looks people in the eye.

The sales clerks in the shopping malls she often went to all flattered her. When Qiao Yaozu’s incident first came out, she had plenty of money on hand, and even if others looked at her strangely, she didn’t really care and continued to spend lavishly.

Until Qiao Yaozu was sentenced, she was required to change her bottle of vanishing cream every three months, make new clothes once a year, and was not allowed to go to the tailor shop, but could only operate the sewing machine at home…

Now she avoids shopping malls, and even if a salesperson selling daily clothes greets her enthusiastically, she will not respond and leave without looking back.

Several salespeople who had planned to go to the movies together this weekend looked at each other in bewilderment.

“She… why is she like this?”

“She used to look down on people, but now she doesn’t even say hello?”

“You don’t know yet, right? That poor relative of the Qiao family has been sentenced…”

…

It was clearly almost the end of the year, and probably because she was in a hurry to leave, she was very anxious both physically and mentally.

When I got home, I poured myself a cup of hot water and drank it down in one gulp.

Zhang Baoer came out after hearing the noise, her eyelids half opened: “Mom? Didn’t you go buy vegetables? You’re back so soon?”

“Why buy vegetables!”

She was so embarrassed.

After he felt ashamed and in pain, he began to examine his adopted daughter.

Isn’t it this girl’s fault that the family is in this state?

The Zhang family has no responsibility towards Qiao Yaozu. On the contrary, there is still hatred between the Zhang and Qiao families.

At the beginning, it was Zhang Baoer who knelt down and cried and said that the family had enough food, and if she really didn’t take care of Qiao Yaozu, he would starve to death…

Looking at Qiao Yaozu again, he looked like a beggar, his face was extremely thin, and he lowered his head uncomfortably.

She really thought Qiao Yaozu was an honest and decent man, but she didn’t expect him to be as bad as his vicious parents!

“Mom? Why are you looking at me like that?” Zhang Baoer, who had become a little more sober, embarrassed herself, shrank her neck and avoided Fu Yujing’s sight.

Fu Yujing: “Are you still sleeping?”

Zhang Baoer’s heart skipped a beat.

For more than ten years, she had slept until noon, waited for dinner, went out for a walk in the afternoon, and went home at night. When Qiao Yaozu’s verdict came out, she clearly felt that her adoptive mother’s attitude towards her had changed a lot.

Zhang Baoer laughed dryly twice, walked forward coquettishly, shook the other’s arm, and said, “I know it’s not easy for mom and dad now. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have been soft-hearted and pleaded for my younger brother…Qiao Yaozu.

I was raised by you, mom and dad, and I have been influenced by you, and I have retained your good character. Qiao Yaozu is different…”

Zhang Baoer paused, probably remembering that Zhang Fu taught her that girls from good families would not gossip about others behind their backs, so she changed her tone and reflected on herself, “Mom, it’s all my fault. I expected too much from him. What he did disappointed me so much.”

Qiao Yaozu insisted that he would not give Zhang Baoer away, and the Zhang family suffered an unprovoked disaster. Although Fu Yujing was angry and implicated Zhang Baoer, she did not go too far, after all, they had been friends for so many years.

Zhang Baoer’s statement also needs to be examined. On the surface, she is talking about herself, but in fact she is alluding to the fact that the Zhang family has given her a good education, and that Zhang Fu and Fu Yujing have taught her to turn bad bamboo into good bamboo shoots.

“Yeah.” Fu Yujing said with a stern face, “You are not allowed to have any contact with the Zhang family in the future.”

Zhang Baoer’s back stiffened slightly, and he immediately agreed, “Okay.”

They still had to keep in touch secretly.

Otherwise, the other party would give her away…

She couldn’t imagine it.

If she had known this would happen, she would have stopped A-di from making the mistake no matter what!

Unfortunately it’s too late.

Fu Yujing thought about it and finally didn’t mention arranging a marriage for her.

It hasn’t been long since Qiao Yaozu’s incident happened, and she was already in a hurry to marry off her adopted daughter. What would it look like if the news got out?

Originally, her and Zhang Fu’s reputations had been damaged recently.

But the more you fear something, the more likely it will come.

Zhang Baoer wanted to earn money to send to her poor younger brother, but her family didn’t give her any pocket money. She could only use lotion on her face, not her neck. She was frugal in everything, only ate until she was 50% full, and didn’t have any snacks.

In the past, I wanted to starve myself to get a good figure, but now I can’t even eat enough…

Zhang Baoer has no choice but to look for help from someone.

Unexpectedly, Meng Jianjun was seen leaving the factory with a strange female comrade. The two kept a distance of a fist from each other and were both embarrassed to say hello to others.

It’s so ambiguous that even if Zhang Baoer is blind, she can see the clues!

Zhang Baoer changed her humble attitude when she came here, and now there was fire burning in her eyes.

She avoided people and didn’t let Meng Jianjun find her. After everyone left, she grabbed someone and asked, “Who was with Meng Jianjun?!”

The female comrade looked at Zhang Baoer in confusion.

Seeing that the female comrade was about to leave, Zhang Baoer realized that she was being unreasonable. She immediately grabbed the other party and handed her a candy with a smile: “I’m sorry, my tone was not good just now, I didn’t mean any harm. I’m Meng Jianjun’s cousin, he followed his mother to remarry, but we have agreed that his marriage has to be decided by our uncles and aunts…”

It was the first time that Zhang Baoer told such a big lie. She thought about it and spoke haltingly, blushing, and did not dare to look at the other party, but anyone older and experienced could see the clues in her.

The female comrade was very young and thought that Zhang Baoer was worried that she would be angry, so she took the candy and said sympathetically, “I didn’t expect Comrade Meng to be so stubborn… The person standing with him is his girlfriend, the daughter of the workshop director.”

“How long have they been dating?”

“About half a year.”

Zhang Baoer’s face turned pale.

Half a year!

In other words, as soon as her background was exposed, Meng Jianjun had already found a new employer.

She was also moved by the fact that the other party did not want a formal relationship because he was afraid that she would be embarrassed in front of her parents…

What kind of love is this?

They’re all fake!

She ran away cowardly.

I went home and cried all day until my eyes were swollen.

In the past, mom would have knocked on the door to coax her, dad would have bought her things, and brother would have given her money to make her cry less. They were quarreling…

now?

Big brother is not here.

Dad is not home all day and I don’t know what he is busy with.

Mom doesn’t even care whether she eats or not.

Fu Yujing was worried that the verbal abuse from the group of second-rate relatives outside the courtyard had seriously affected the neighbors’ attitude towards their Zhang family.

It was useless to report to the police, no one would help her. Even if she went to the police station to call for help, and the police came with her, they would have already run away.

She wanted to catch the man in the act, but she failed to catch him and the people in the hospital refused to cooperate. What could she do?

She didn’t understand. The situation had already reached the point of disturbing the residents and the neighbors also bore a grudge against the Zhang family. Why didn’t these neighbors come out to testify?

And the culprit of all this…

the adopted daughter can save on expensive food by eating one less meal.

Zhang Baoer cried even more sadly.
