Chapter 36: Xiao Qian, Bomb King!
Translator: 549690339
Hearing that Xiao Qian wanted to move everything to her room, Chen Lin was having none of it.
“As a big sister, you should be more generous. Leave some stuff for your brother!”
Why should i share the things that my child’s father bought for me with others? Xiao Qian retorted coldly.
“Do you want Da Long to sleep with a pink comforter?”
“Have your mom make him a blue cover. His comforter needs to be replaced anyway. And the food too, send some upstairs for your brother. He is tired from school and needs to replenish his energy – grab a handful too.”
Xiao Qian sneered. This simpleton Yu had indeed bought plenty of dry nuts which were high-end snacks. It seemed that there were several pounds of them. This stuff was quite expensive.
Chen Lin was being “generous” by allowing her to grab more than a handful of them.
“I am not giving him any. Does he need to eat more than me? Does his comforter need to be replaced more than mine?”
Chen Lin was left speechless with Xiao Qian’s reply and he angrily said, “Instead of comparing yourself with your brother, why don’t you act more like an older sister?”
“Even if i were the younger sister, you would still give all the good things to your son. I’m telling you this clearly today – everything here is mine. Whoever dares to touch it, I will set it on fire!”
These are items that Yu Minglang gave her. Why on earth would she need to share them with that playboy brother of hers!
“Mr. Chen, you can calm down. Qian’er’s marital affairs were just thwarted. Naturally, she feels upset. The items are all pink and should be given to Qian’er. As for the food, both of them can share it. Is this okay?”
“No! Everything is mine!” The ones Yu bought, no one can have!
Chen Lin was furious. Pointing at Xiao Qian, he said, “You, useless girl, you are becoming more and more backwards! You failed to get into college and couldn’t even get married, but you’re suddenly extraordinary when it’s time to grab things for yourself!”
Suddenly, Xiao Qian flashed a mysterious smile and took out a bright red piece of paper from her pocket.
“Who said I failed to get into college?”
Upon seeing the paper, Chen Lin exclaimed, “Damn!”
He was so surprised that he couldn’t say anything.
Jia Xiufang brusquely snatched it away, took a look and asked, “Eh? An admission letter? Qian’er are you deranged? You couldn’t get into college, did you forge a fake one?”
“Didn’t you see the seal on it?”
“Oh! Where did this come from?” Jia Xiufang was overjoyed.
“I met one of our teachers today, who felt that I shouldn’t have failed. She specially checked the data for me. Oh, it turned out that a mistake was made. I passed.”
Seeing Chen Lin in a state of chaos, Xiao Qian was in an exceptionally good mood.
“But how come your admission letter was sent just now?” Jia Xiufang flipped through the letter and checked. Upon confirmation that it was real, she instantly forgot about the sadness that was caused by her daughter’s broken off engagement.
“The admission letter was supplemented by the teacher. My home teacher is much more reliable than the homeroom teacher, who knows nothing at all,” Xiao Qian said, her eyes gleaming as she watched Chen Lin.
“Can you repeat what you said earlier about who didn’t get into university? I guess you have seen an admission letter before, right? It’s for one of the 985 Project Universities, the top national university for psychology, with a college entrance exam score of 668. Isn’t this result enough for us to host a banquet?”
Jia Xiufang was extremely delighted, “We should host it! I was right that my daughter is so academically inclined, she could not have failed. Ha ha ha, let’s start preparing right away. Let all your uncles know. My Qian’er is not the kind of person who fumbles at a critical moment!”
Everyone initially did not believe it when the teacher mentioned that Xiao Qian had failed.
But Chen Lin mentioned that the girl had applied only to the top universities and opted not to be allocated through a distribution system. Therefore, it was normal that she was removed. Usually, parents would allow children with such academic prowess to repeat a year. But Chen Lin was stingy and was in a hurry to get Xiao Qian married off.
So many relatives had secretly taken Xiao Qian’s failure as a bad example, questioning the usefulness of girls getting an education if it doesn’t lead to university attendance…
Now, with this scarlet letter of acceptance in hand, Jia Xiufang was stirred and passionate. She couldn’t wait to parade Xiao Qian around and challenge those who said her daughter was useless. Look closely at the score my daughter got!
Ignoring the already overjoyed Jia Xiufang and going past Xiao Qian, Chen Lin went straight upstairs.
He was puzzled as to how the admission letter that was supposed to be hidden appeared in his daughter’s hands.
“Husband, where are you going? Our daughter’s entrance into university is such a joyous occasion. Why aren’t you happy?”
Jia Xiufang was now full of excitement, the stifled feelings of the past few days were instantly replaced by relief.
Xiao Qian knew that Chen Lin was not only unhappy now, but was also furious.
She held Jia Xiufang’s hand and asked gleefully.
“Mom, these items should be given to me, right? 1 can use them at school.”
“Give, give, give, all yours!”
“And Da Long?”
“Don’t worry about him. His homeroom teacher just called, saying that he didn’t attend the summer tutoring class throughout the summer break. We spent so much money to register him for the summer supplementary course and he skipped it!”
Jia Xiufang waved her hand nonchalantly. There had been many troubles in the family lately, but finally, there was something to rejoice about.
This impatient middle-aged housewife quickly picked up the phone and started dialing the numbers of her relatives one by one.
“Auntie, there is something I want to share with you. My Qian’er got into college! The best university in the province! 1 am planning to throw a banquet for the entrance into college. None of the kids from the old Chen family got into such good colleges. Even last year, when her uncle’s family had a Polytechnic student, they kept boasting about it every time they met someone.
1 should host several banquets for my daughter… Marriage? What marriage! She is still so young, studying is more important now. Moreover, that man is not suitable, he has Hepatitis B…”
The volume of Jia Xiufang’s voice was loud enough to shake the roof of the house.
Xiao Qian knew that once her mother got into a festive mood, the phone calls could last for a whole morning. She would inform each relative, and then broadcast it around the neighborhood. Going to a top university was indeed a joyous event that could keep a family happy for many days.
However, that stingy man upstairs must be furious, right?
Xiao Qian, while browsing through the variety of items that Yu Minglang had sent, thought happily.
Chen Lin felt like his anger was about to kill him.
He opened the soap box where the admission letter was hidden and found a small note inside.
“His anger does not affect me, affects only his own health, calls doctors to cure, but is said to be difficult. Keep calm!”
Anger, death, people, now!!!
This disobedient girl!
Chen Lin tore the note to pieces, wishing he had torn the admission notice in half too.
He initially kept the admission notice because he wanted to brag about having a daughter who was academically excellent when he goes drinking with his friends.
However, he did not expect that the notice would be found by this cunning girl.
She was so cunning that she tried to make him angry in such a way, because she knew he could not reveal the truth.
Now, that foolish woman downstairs was already overjoyed, and all the relatives knew that the girl had made it to the university. If he refused to pay for her college, every relative in the house would spit on him. He would be unable to show his face in the future.
But, at this moment, he had no money at all. The passbook at home was emptied long ago. Now what to do….
