Chapter 55

Sitting in the conference room, Yu Shu felt that she was not much different from an illiterate person.

In the afternoon, she went and signed up for an MBA training course and chose the one with the highest tuition fees.

Yu Feng\'s legs had completely recovered and he showed no issues with walking, sitting or lying down. He wanted to return to the county town. Yu Shu dismissed Uncle Zhang and Qi Yu recommended her a mild-mannered aunt. She did not talk much but was very capable with her hands and feet and extremely skilled in cooking. She specialized in making beauty dishes and weight loss dishes. She could make weight loss dishes elegant and delicious yet low in fat.

Yu Shu was very satisfied.

Yu Shu drove Yu Feng back to the county town in the domestic SUV. Father and daughter chatted during the journey.

"Dad, why don\'t you go get a driver\'s license? I\'ll buy you a car."

"Great! I can tour around with your mom then."

Thinking of Ye Ping made Yu Shu feel awful inside, anxious and suppressed. She could not help but sigh, "How can she ever be satisfied?"

Before entering the house, Yu Shu asked while holding two boxes of cherries, "Is she going to rush me into marriage again? If so, I won\'t go in."

"Go in or not is up to you. If you dare not go in forever, just try it." Ye Ping rolled her eyes and turned to go inside.

"Hey, I do dare right now!" Yu Shu grinned as she entered, "No rushing me into marriage! I\'ll leave immediately if you do."

Yu Shu was not nagged by Ye Ping because she had concentrated all her firepower on Yu Feng.

Their old house had been occupied by Yu Feng\'s two younger brothers. Ye Ping only found out from others a week ago. She went to take a look and the old house had already been wrecked terribly. Even the lock had been changed.

"Tell me! Did you give them the keys?"

"I didn\'t, I didn\'t! Don\'t make wild guesses!" Yu Feng denied it strongly to prove his loyalty. "I really don\'t know about this. I haven\'t contacted them since New Year."

"We don\'t even live in the old house anymore. We might as well sell it. It should still be worth 200,000 to 300,000 right?"

Ye Ping got angry at the thought: "Do you think I haven\'t tried getting an agent to sell it? Your second and third uncles are infamously indecent people in the county town. Who would dare buy it?!"

Yu Shu sighed. What kinds of nonsense was this?

"Don\'t worry about this. I\'ll sell the house."

"How are you going to sell it?" Ye Ping got more agitated as she spoke and suddenly burst into tears. "Those two uncles of yours are not easy to deal with. I\'ve put up with them for over twenty years..."

Ye Ping brought up piles of past grievances, from second uncle snatching a new pair of pants from Yu Feng\'s father, to third uncle leading Yu Feng out all night playing cards when Ye Ping was pregnant. After second and third uncles got married, both aunts ganged up to pick on her, finding fault from bowls and plates to shoes, hats and jewelry...

It was a bunch of trivial matters that amounted to great injustice when tallied up. Yu Shu\'s head ached from listening and she quickly took out the jade bangle she had bought for Ye Ping. After coaxing her with nice words for a long time, Ye Ping finally wiped her tears and smiled.

Yu Shu picked out a pair of solid jade bangles with floating flowers, elegant and classy. When Ye Ping asked the price, Yu Shu answered honestly, "400,000 to 500,000..."

Ye Ping\'s hands shook as she held the bangles and gingerly put them down.

Yu Shu held the bangles and put them on Ye Ping\'s wrists, "Wear them, wear them. With a set of house bracelets on your hands, you won\'t need to do any more housework."

The bangles fitted perfectly. Once worn, they were somewhat tricky to take off. Ye Ping wanted to remove them but was afraid of damaging the jade. With the bangles on, she did not know where to put her hands.

"Jade isn\'t that fragile. You\'ll get used to wearing them." Yu Shu patted her hands. "It doesn\'t matter even if they break. I have a whole box more that I can get new ones for you."

"Exactly how much money have you earned?"

Yu Shu was not prepared with an excuse to last a whole lifetime. When cooking frogs, the fire must keep going.

"A lot. Don\'t worry. Every cent I earn is clean and legal. Stop thinking so much. Just enjoy life and spend money happily."

The meal took a huge toll on Yu Shu mentally. After the meal she still had to deliver food to Yu Yang.

The nearer it got to the college entrance examinations, the harder Yu Yang worked. He battled until 2 or 3 am every day before sleeping. The school canteen food lacked nutrition and Yu Yang visibly lost weight. Ye Ping felt distressed and now sent home-cooked meals during lunch and dinner.

Yu Shu volunteered for this job, "I\'ll go. I can deliver right to the classroom."

According to the school\'s regulations, parents sending meals could only leave them at the school gate. Students had to go to the school gate to collect the food themselves. Most parents passed the food through gaps in the railings. It looked like people sending food to prison.

Yu Shu went early. There were only a few parents waiting to "send prison food" at the school gate then. Carrying the insulated meal box, Yu Shu entered and had to register with the security guard but was scolded, "What are you doing! No one can enter to deliver meals!"

The security guard had been replaced. It was no longer the familiar uncle but an unfriendly-looking middle-aged man.

Yu Shu explained, "I\'m a graduated student. I\'m here to visit teachers, Mr. Yan from Senior Year 3 Class 7."

"Entering is forbidden no matter which teacher you\'re looking for!"

"I could enter previously. Why can\'t I now? Are there new school regulations?"

"No, my regulations."

Yu Shu\'s tone turned impolite, "So impressive. Are you the new principal?"

"I\'m your daddy!" The man waved the electric baton in his hand. "Get lost now or I\'ll make you bleed all over."

The man bared his tobacco-stained uneven teeth. Spit flew when he talked. Yu Shu strangely found him familiar.

"Have I seen you somewhere before?" Yu Shu thought hard. "Are you Yu Jiang\'s friend?"

Yu Jiang was the name of her third uncle.

"I thought you wouldn\'t recognize me!"

"You\'re so damn ugly, how could I forget?"

The man cursed and moved to attack. Yu Shu pointed to the surveillance camera, "Try touching me and I\'ll make sure you\'ll never get out of trouble."

Ignoring him, she called the principal.

After sending food to Yu Yang, Yu Shu was asked to the principal\'s office, accompanied by Yan Ming.

The principal rambled officiously for a long time without clearly explaining the situation. Unable to stand it, Yan Ming shoved the principal aside, "Get lost. Let me do the talking."

Yan Ming cleared up the matter in a few sentences. The school was building a new classroom block. The Bureau of Education had given some funds but it was insufficient. Therefore the school sought donations from the community. A certain tycoon had donated 300,000 yuan. The new security guard was the tycoon\'s relative who was free and had no job, so he was installed in the school as security guard.

"How much is still lacking? I\'ll pay for the full amount. Return that 300,000 as well. I\'ll provide the funds. Get that yellow-toothed one out too." Yu Shu put on a stern face. "Also, don\'t buy the hardware and building materials from my third uncle\'s shop."

Tsk~ She sure held grudges and sought revenge.
