“So, Mother, you can’t blame me. I’m upset too.” Su Pingfan secretly eyed the money Zhang Chunxiang held in her hand. Seeing that she was about to hand it over, his eyes widened. “Give me the money! I don’t have any money to spend recently.”
“Alright, here you go.” Zhang Chunxiang handed the money over.
Su Pingfan snatched it and hastily stashed it in his pocket.
The flimsy excuse of the mother and son had been validated. Even Su Pingping, who was sweeping the floor, was almost convinced.
However, Su Pingping quickly remembered that her older brother was lazing around all day and not attending school. How could he possibly get into university?
Su Pingping wanted to remind him, but the fear of consequences kept her silent.
“Don’t worry, Pingfan. I won’t let you suffer this injustice. I will settle this score with that little b*tch,” Zhang Chunxiang declared determinedly. “I’ll make her pay the price.”
“How can she pay the price?” Su Pingfan, having successfully obtained the money, was no longer interested in dealing with Zhang Chunxiang. “Can you snatch the opportunity to go to university away from Fifth sister Su?”
“Why not?” Zhang Chunxiang glared at him. “This opportunity belongs to you. You should snatch it.”
“That won’t work. I’ve checked. I can’t snatch it.” Su Pingfan had the idea when
he first heard about Fifth sister Su getting into university. However, after asking around, he realized it was not possible, so he gave up.
“Fifth sister Su is a woman, and I’m a man. Besides, she’s in the newspapers. Everyone knows who she is. I can’t replace her at all.” Su Pingfan shook his head regretfully. “Why am I so unlucky? Is there no other way?”
“Not really. Let me think about it. I don’t believe it won’t work.”
“Alright, then you think about it. I’m going to look for my partner.” Su Pingfan couldn’t stay any longer after obtaining the money. Before he left, he didn’t forget to ask, “By the way, where did you get this money?”
“I earned it by selling vegetables,” Zhang Chunxiang said proudly.
“You can earn money by selling vegetables? What kind of vegetables are you selling?”
“I grew them in the vegetable garden. Why?”
“No, nothing. I just wanted to say, Mother, you’re amazing. I hope you’ll earn more in the future.” Su Pingfan was an expert at manipulating people. In no time, Zhang Chunxiang was confused and disoriented. She confessed everything about stealing vegetables the previous night.
Su Pingfan’s eyes lit up.
“How about that? Your dear mother is quite capable, isn’t she?” Zhang Chunxiang boasted proudly, despite her bruised face.
“Let me tell you, there’s an art to stealing. You can’t simply break in and pick locks. If you get caught, you’ll end up in the police station. And you can’t steal anything too valuable, or you’ll be in real trouble. Stealing vegetables isn’t worth much. Every household has them. Even if they catch you, they can’t do much.”
The more Zhang Chunxiang thought about it, the smarter she felt.
“Moreover, selling vegetables requires skill. If you don’t have the knack for it, you won’t succeed. Only someone as clever as me can sell the vegetables.”
“It’s not worth much!” Su Pingfan said disdainfully. “If you’re going to steal, at least steal something more valuable.”
“What do you know? You can’t fill your stomach with just one bite. You should learn from me,” Zhang Chunxiang scolded, slapping Su Pingfan. “Don’t be like your father. Your disgraceful behavior has made me a laughing stock,” Zhang Chunxiang said.
Though she had been harshly ridiculed, she had no choice but to accept it. It didn’t matter anymore..
