Although Tian Yulan and Nan Li are stepsisters in name, they have actually been at odds with each other over the years.
Nanli blames Tian Yulan's mother and daughter for interfering with a third party, which caused her parents to divorce. Her mother suffered from depression and lost a lot of hair. She took antidepressant medicine for two years before she stopped.
Tian Yulan blamed Nan Li for treating her mother as a servant. She always came ready and refused to lend a hand. Moreover, she was also irritated and looked down upon by ten thousand people. Naturally, she wanted to stand up for her mother.
Besides, she was also jealous that Nan Li had a better life than her.
Her biological father was an alcoholic and drank himself to death early. Her mother took her alone and made money by working as a caregiver for others, so she suffered a lot since she was a child and didn't even have her own house.
Nan Li, on the other hand, came from a wealthy family and was favored since she was a child. Even though Nan Jianlong and Zhao Na divorced, Nan Li's boudoir was still kept at home, and Tian Yulan couldn't even enter.
Nan Li got admitted to 985 University, and Tian Yulan barely passed three exams.
Nan Li married a well-known real estate designer, who was capable, handsome and considerate; Tian Yulan married a giant baby like Yan Peng. Although the family was rich, the property was not under his control, causing her to visit her parents-in-law every month. face.
Especially recently, Nan Li was promoted to the marketing director of Wei Nuan Bedding, which happened to be a head above her, the floor manager of the shopping mall.
Therefore, amid the intertwining of old and new grudges, while the whole family was drinking tea together, Tian Yulan deliberately told the story about Xia Huanhuan, who came last in the math test, and how the teacher caught her secretly reading comic books in math class.
Xia Huanhuan has a strong personality and cried immediately when someone exposed her scars in public.
As soon as she cried, Nan Li immediately stopped. Xia Junshan was also very angry and left immediately with his wife and children.
When Nan Jianlong saw that he had saved up so much for a tea party, but was disturbed by Tian Yulan's foul mouth, he was also unhappy in his heart.
Nan Jianlong was unhappy, and Cai Juying immediately scolded her daughter, "It's none of your business whether other people's grades are good or not, it's so ugly."
Tian Yulan didn't take it seriously at all. Nan Li and her daughter lost face, which made her feel very happy.
She is such a character who refuses to suffer losses or admit defeat. No one can beat her. For this reason, she can even harm others without benefiting herself. As long as others are unlucky, she will be happy.
…
As soon as Xiang Nan returned to his residence, he received a WeChat message from Xia Junshan, "Junior brother, come out for a drink."
Xiang Nan thought for a while and then replied OK.
After a while, he and Xia Junshan met at a skewers shop, and then ordered some meat skewers, ribs, crispy bones, hairy clams, etc., and another person ordered a cup of draft beer, and chatted while eating and drinking.
"Brother, why are you in such a good mood today?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"Junior brother, your sister-in-law and I have been to some training institutions in the past two days, and I found that those cram schools are really too perverted." Xia Junshan complained, "One class lasts two and a half hours, my God , college students only take two classes in a row.”
"Brother, you don't know something about this. The competitive pressure of primary school students is actually much greater than that of college students." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Now in our country, the admission rate for the high school entrance examination is 50%. , the college entrance examination admission rate is 80%, and the employment rate of college students is 90%...
So don’t underestimate the high school entrance examination. It is the first difficulty that children face in their lives, and it is also the most difficult one. The elimination rate is as high as 50%.
If you don't do well in the high school entrance examination, it will be almost impossible to turn around in your life. You and I both come from small places, and we both change our destiny through learning. You and I both understand this. "
Xia Junshan heard what Xiang Nan said and felt it made sense.
He came from a small place and studied hard since he was a child. He passed the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, and finally achieved the results he has today.
Compared with him, his classmates who failed in elementary school, middle school, and high school were basically inferior to him. Therefore, it is really a wise saying that reading can change your destiny.
If you don't do well in the high school entrance examination, your future will be difficult.
If you can't get into a good high school, you can't get into a good university. If you can't get into a good university, you can't find a good job. If you can't find a good job, you will have no choice but to gnaw at your old age.
When he and Nan Li were still alive, they could still help each other, but what should they do after they were gone?
"You mean, sign her up for a cram school?" Xia Junshan asked again.
"In principle, we as teachers do not encourage children to sign up for classes." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "But let me tell you the truth, there are currently thirty-one children in our class, and only four of them have not signed up for classes outside."
"Such a high proportion?" Xia Junshan was surprised when he heard this.
"This is the situation now. Senior brother, you and your sister-in-law are both Buddhists, but others are not like you. People say that our children never sign up for classes and never study hard. In fact, you have no idea what is going on behind the scenes. Xiang Nan nodded.
"So, I have to enroll my child in a class." Xia Junshan thought, "Junior brother, which off-campus training institution do you think is reliable? Can you recommend it? I don't want to sign up for a bad class and spend money in vain. , the key is to waste energy and waste time.”
"Well, as far as I know, Select Number is the most famous training institution in Jiangzhou. There are many children in our school taking tutoring there. For example, Yan Ziyou in our class." Xiang Nan explained.
"Well, I think I've heard of it too." Xia Junshan nodded.
In fact, he had heard it more than once. In order to show off Yan Ziyou's achievements, Tian Yulan often talked about the name of number selection. It's like the school is run by their family.
And he knew that Tian Yulan had always liked chicken babies, so since she admired number selection so much, he thought that this agency really had two skills.
"Okay, thank you, junior brother." Xia Junshan then raised his glass and said.
"You're welcome. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Come on, let's do it~"
Xia Huanhuan went to choose the numbers, and Yan Ziyou also went to choose the numbers. I just don’t know if they would fight over an admission quota without me.
…
In the next few days, Xiang Nan was busy teaching, writing books, and falling in love.
After the Qingming Festival trip, his relationship with Zhang Xueer has been sublimated. Now they are as close as each other, and they are already planning to get married.
"Actually, my parents can help with the wedding room." Zhang Xueer said to Xiang Nan.
Her parents have always been satisfied with Zhong Yi and want them to be together, so they are also willing to support them a little. After all, Xue'er is their only daughter, and after a hundred years, all their property will belong to her.
Give it early or give it later, what difference does it make?
"No, Xue'er, I promise you, I will definitely be able to afford a house." Xiang Nan was moved when he heard this, but still refused.
It is really rare that his father-in-law and mother-in-law do not think he is poor, and are willing to marry their daughter to him, and are even willing to pay to buy a house for them.
However, Xiang Nan doesn't want to be like an old man, he still has to fulfill his responsibilities. What's more, his income has been pretty good lately. Writing and stock trading allowed his assets to increase in value quickly.
Just like "Dafeng Watchman", before it was released on the shelves, it had already been rewarded by two alliance leaders. Therefore, he is confident that he will be able to collect the down payment by the end of the year, and then buy a big house to marry Zhang Xueer.
Zhang Xueer knew Zhong Yi's character, which was a little aloof, and it was hard to persuade him at the moment, "Well, I believe you."
