After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Zhouzhou was already angry after hearing what Li Yuxin's mother had said earlier. Hearing that she had gone to the school to cause trouble only made her even angrier. It was obvious that she wouldn't be doing anything good.

Frowning, she said, "I'm going now."

Without another word, she hung up the phone.

Coincidentally, Qin Lie came out and saw the anxious look on her face. "Is something wrong?"

Zhouzhou nodded and succinctly explained, "Yuxin's mom went to the school to cause trouble. I'm going to check on her."

"I'll take you there."

Zhouzhou shook her head. "No need, I'll go by myself. You can help with the discharge procedures for Sharp Tongue Daddy. When I come back, we can head home together."

Qin Lie thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright."

It wasn't that he wanted to irritate Ye Lingfeng when he suggested taking him home yesterday. They all knew that Ye Lingfeng's soul had been taken away by Divine Thunder, which had left him in such a state. Staying in the hospital didn't really serve any purpose.

At home, it would be quieter and more comfortable for him to rest. Even if it was a VIP ward, the noise and the crowd would still be a problem. At least at home, Ye Lingfeng would be able to recover more peacefully.

After discussing this, Zhouzhou quickly left.

Just as she reached the door, a car stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, and a beautiful face appeared. "Zhouzhou, where are you rushing off to?"

"Sister Generous?" Zhouzhou had just called out, then quickly corrected herself, "I mean, Second Sister-in-law."

Shao Shanshan's eyes immediately curved into a smile. "Good girl. Where are you headed? Hop in, I'll give you a ride."

Zhouzhou didn't hesitate and got into the car. "Second Sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Won't it delay your work?"

Shao Shanshan shook her head. "No, it's nothing. My dad had a check-up a few days ago, and I'm here to pick up his medical report."

"Ah? Is Uncle sick? You can come to me for a check-up, it's free. Brother Dafu always says that if you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a fool."

Over the years, whenever Brother Dafu had a headache or something, he never went to the hospital but just got medicine from her.

Of course, she did charge for the medicine.

Brother Dafu had also said, "Even though we're close, everything should be settled clearly."

But her medicines were just 2 yuan per pill, and they worked well. It didn't take many pills to get better, so it was very affordable.

Hearing this, Shao Shanshan couldn't help but laugh. "It's nothing serious, just a routine check-up."

"Well, next time, come find me. I'm way better than all those machines."

Shao Shanshan smiled and nodded. "Sure. Where are you headed?"

Zhouzhou quickly gave her the address.

As they drove, Shao Shanshan asked, "That's a school, right? What are you going there for?"

Zhouzhou explained the situation again.

After hearing the story, Shao Shanshan frowned, slightly confused. "Is your friend's mom actually her biological mother?"

Zhouzhou chuckled, "You think so too, right, Second Sister-in-law? This doesn't sound like something a biological parent would do."

"Exactly." Shao Shanshan rolled her eyes. "Stealing her daughter's university choices, forcing her to buy a house, a car, and get married so she can give her brother the dowry money to marry a wife... that's something a stepmother would do."

Who could argue with that?

"Honestly, it would be better if she wasn't her biological parent."

Without the blood ties, Yuxin wouldn't be so heartbroken.

As it was, her closest family members had repeatedly stabbed her in the back. It wasn't just once or twice. It was no wonder she was so devastated.

Zhouzhou sighed involuntarily.

Shao Shanshan comforted her. "Don't sigh. There's always a solution to everything. I believe in your friend. She's a strong person, so don't worry. She'll get through this."

"Yeah!" Remembering what Li Yuxin had said to her yesterday, Zhouzhou felt slightly relieved.

Every setback in life could be turned into a stepping stone, after all.

With that thought, she didn't feel as frustrated anymore.

Before long, they arrived at the school.

They didn't even have to enter. From the outside, Zhouzhou saw Li Yuxin and her mom.

The school for repeat students had strict regulations, and even parents couldn't enter freely.

And this time, Li Yuxin's mom wasn't just visiting; she was there to take her away from class.

She had caused a scene before, and the security guards knew her well.

The guards were speechless. They, too, had kids, and they understood how important it was for parents to want their children to do well in school, get into a good university, and find a good job.

But what kind of parent was this? Even if she couldn't help her child, she shouldn't be obstructing her progress, right?

So, the guard firmly stopped her from entering.

But unexpectedly, Li Yuxin's mom started throwing a tantrum, pointing her finger at the guard and cursing him out.

During the break between classes, some students saw this and went to tell Li Yuxin.

When Li Yuxin heard that her mom was causing a scene, she felt exhausted.

But she didn't want to let her mom keep causing trouble, so she went out to try to reason with her.

Unfortunately, as soon as she appeared, her mother started berating her for being ungrateful and disobedient.

The crowd around them grew larger, and Zhouzhou pushed her way through, hearing Li Yuxin's mom shout, "I'm your mom. How could I harm you? You're studying for a degree to get a good job, right? Now there's such a great opportunity for you to stay, and you're not taking it. Are you sick?"

Zhouzhou's face immediately darkened, and she shouted, "You're the one who's sick!"

She quickly stepped forward, putting herself between Li Yuxin and her mom, and coldly stared at her. "With Yuxin's ability, she can get into a top-tier university and easily find a job in the future. Her future is full of promise. But you? You have narrow vision. You've wasted her whole year, and you have the nerve to say it's for her own good?"

Li Yuxin's mom was afraid of Zhouzhou. In the past, whenever she saw her, she'd avoid her, fearing that Zhouzhou would bring that fierce lawyer and have her arrested.

She glanced around to make sure the lawyer wasn't there and then straightened up.

With some confidence, she said, "You're all too young to understand. Do you know that people who graduate from A University end up selling pork? What's the point of a girl studying so much? Becoming a teacher and living a stable life is enough."

Li Yuxin broke down and said, "How many times do I have to say it? I don't want to be a teacher!"

Li Yuxin's mom exploded at this, "What's wrong with being a teacher? Why are you becoming more and more disobedient? You're really disappointing us!"

Li Yuxin stared at her in silence, exhausted.

This wasn't about being a teacher or not. It was about her own choice.

That was all.

But this simple truth would never get through to her mother.

At this point, Li Yuxin didn't want to speak to her anymore.

She wanted to go back to school, but with Zhouzhou here, she couldn't just leave her to face her mom alone.

She knew all too well how troublesome her mom could be.

Seeing her thoughts, Zhouzhou gave her a reassuring look. "Don't be scared. I've never lost to anyone who throws a tantrum."

Zhouzhou put her hands on her hips, staring at Li Yuxin's mom with an expressionless face. Her sharp gaze carried a pressure that she had cultivated over the years.

She smirked and said, "I think you should try stepping on a sewing machine. How about it?"

(Notes: Stepping on a sewing machine refers to going to jail.)
