Chapter 236 Money Should Be Used Wisely

"Grandma brought the whole family along; everyone who could go went. Almost everyone in the machinery factory's residential area came out to watch the excitement."

Grandma gave my third uncle a thorough dressing-down, blocking the door of his dormitory room and yelling at him so badly that he didn't dare to come out.

Later, Grandma took everyone to Song Yuling's house.

Song Yuling and her man stayed at home and didn't dare to come out.

Originally, Song Yuling's husband was sent down to the countryside and had no connections in Yun County. With so many people brought by her grandmother, how could they dare to come out?

Grandma scolded Song Yuling again, implying that Song Yuling was a troublemaker and that no one who followed her would end up well.

Song Yuling's husband didn't utter a sound and just stayed inside the house. "Miao Yamin, who came over right after work at noon, talked about Aunt Yao's achievements last night.

"You went?" Yao Shula's eyes widened.

“Yes! I went! Grandma asked my sister-in-law to call my mom. My dad went to the countryside yesterday and didn’t come back, so I told her I was scared to be home alone and shamelessly went with her,” Miao Yamin said proudly.

Yao Shula regretted it a little; she wasn't as thick-skinned as Miao Yamin!

"Oh, there's one more thing. I only found out from the people at the machinery factory yesterday why my third uncle wants to move back to live with you so much."

Song Yuling's husband has already gone to the machinery factory to see her third uncle once.

Although it didn't escalate to the same extent as my grandmother's, a dispute still broke out, with something about my third uncle sleeping with his wife and having to pay compensation.

If he doesn't give it to me, he'll come looking for my third uncle every day.

Song Yuling's husband is a bully who preys on the weak. If her third uncle hadn't fallen out with the family, he would have stopped after extorting a hundred yuan or two once or twice.

He didn't make such a big fuss at first, but he didn't know what the Yao family's attitude was.

Now that Grandma has made a scene, everyone knows that the Yao family is no longer taking care of Third Uncle and has completely severed ties with him.

"Just you wait and see, in a few days Song Yuling's man will definitely have a big fight with Third Uncle," Miao Yamin said seriously.

Yao Shula felt the same way.

Song Yuling's man has been back for quite some time now. Apart from the day he returned, when he beat up the vendor living in his yard and extorted eighty yuan from him, even when he went to see Yao Guohua, he did so secretly...

"Okay, let's wait and see!" Yao Shula said with a smile.

Miao Yamin nodded and helped Yao Shula clear the table to prepare for dinner.

...

The lunch table seemed a bit more lively with one more person at the table.

Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian kept looking at Miao Yamin, and after looking at Miao Yamin, they looked towards Grandma Zhou's house next door.

The way they both seemed to want to ask but didn't dare to made Yao Shula want to laugh.

"Cousin, how's the food at your school's cafeteria?" Yao Shula suddenly asked.

Miao Yamin didn't find anything strange. While serving food to Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shuli, she said, "It's just so-so. The ones by the teacher's window are a bit better."

Didn't Shuxin eat it before? You can just ask Shuxin.

The food at the student cafeteria windows isn't very good; it's not very juicy.

Zhou Pingan went there yesterday and said the food at our teachers' window was a little better than the food at the students' window.

"Zhou Ping'an went to No. 1 Middle School yesterday? Was he there to deliver something to his distant cousin again?" Yao Shula asked deliberately.

Miao Yamin nodded very calmly.

"Yes, I delivered two bottles of pickled vegetables, and then I went to the student window to take a look. They said there wasn't even a speck of oil in the vegetables."

Later, he asked me how the food at the teachers' window was, so I took him to eat there.

"That guy... he kept saying the taste was just so-so, but he ate a ton of stuff." Miao Yamin said, pursing her lips.

Yao Shula then understood what was going on.

So it turns out Zhou Ping'an went to school by himself again!

"Zhou Ping'an seems to have a lot of free time; he keeps coming to your school." Yao Shula chuckled.

“Yeah, I also think he’s pretty free!” Miao Yamin added.

Yao Shula didn't know how to respond to what was coming next.

"Big sister, I dropped my pen today, and the nib is a bit split."

"Could you find a place to fix this for me?" Yao Shuli suddenly said to Yao Shula.

Upon hearing this, Yao Shula quickly waved her hand.

“It’s broken, so let’s not fix it! Even if we fix it, it’ll just scratch the paper. Here’s some money, go to the department store and buy another one.” Yao Shula said, taking out five yuan from her pocket and putting it in front of Yao Shuli.

Yao Shuli immediately accepted it.

Miao Yamin smiled when she saw it.

"Shura, you know how to spend money! You're willing to spend money where it's necessary! That's good; spending money on studies is worthwhile."

Yao Shula nodded.

"Cousin, this is called spending money wisely! The fountain pen that Shuli is using was used by Shuxin before. It was already a bit old, so it's normal for it to break after being dropped."

He is practicing calligraphy with a fountain pen, starting with the old one.

"I'll take this opportunity to buy a new one."

"Big sister, what does it mean to spend money wisely?" Xiao Tiantian asked while swallowing his rice.

"You don't understand this? Let me give you an example. A man spends all his money on clothes and looks very respectable in front of others. Even when he's looking for a partner, people will say that he's good-looking and presentable, and that he looks like a movie actor."

But if a guy spends all his money on food and eats himself into a pig-like state, people will only call him a fatso and he won't even be able to find a girlfriend.

"That's what you call spending money wisely," Yao Shuli said seriously.

Yao Shula and Miao Yamin both looked at Yao Shuli in surprise.

This kid... always sees things differently from others.

Little Tiantian seemed to understand but not quite.

He bit his chopsticks, frowned, and thought for a moment before saying, "Brother Shuli, what you said makes some sense, but I don't think that guy would be unable to find a partner even if he's gotten that fat."

"He's already a fat pig and he still wants to find a partner? What woman would want him? Ask my older sister and cousin, would they want someone who only knows how to eat?"

"My eldest sister likes good-looking people!" Yao Shuli said immediately.

Xiao Tiantian disagreed with Yao Shuli's words.

"No! He's so fat because his family is rich and can afford to buy good food! It must have cost a lot of money to build up all that fat."

So... he can still find a partner! Xiao Tiantian said very seriously.

Yao Shuli opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know how to refute it.

Yao Shula and Miao Yamin opened their mouths wide once again.

This kid sees things differently from others...

...

A day later, Yao Shula received news that Yao Guohua, Song Yuling's man, and Song Yuling herself had all been taken to the police station by the police.

Yao Shula happily grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and ran towards the entrance of the machinery factory.
