Chapter 15: Women's Mouths are Deceitful!
When Su Zelin got home, his mother was cooking and his father was drinking tea on the sofa in the living room.
"Son, you're back!" Zhao Lixia heard the sound and walked out of the kitchen.
"Well, Mom and Dad, I have two things to report to you. The first is that I spent all my food money last week on lottery tickets!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Lixia was furious and ran to the kitchen to get the broom.
Su Jianjun's reaction was not so intense. He would occasionally try his luck with a few lottery tickets and was not too opposed to this matter, as long as his son didn't go to the arcade to race horses. But his wife was so powerful that he had to show his attitude now, otherwise she would scold him for indulging his son.
So Su Jianjun frowned: "Zelin, don't blame Dad for not helping you. This lottery is just for fun. It's okay if you buy one or two tickets for fun, but how can you spend all your food money? This idea of getting rich by getting rich without working is not good. It's no different from gambling. People still have to be down-to-earth!"
At this time, Zhao Lixia had already raised the broom. Su Zelin was not in a hurry. Before the broom fell, he said: "I won the second prize, a bonus of 50,000 yuan!"
"What?" The two elders were stunned, and Zhao Lixia's broom also stopped in mid-air. It is gambling to spend all the food money on lottery tickets, but it is another matter to win tens of thousands of yuan. This is a shortcut to being wealthly.
Seeing the shocked expressions of the two elders, Su Zelin was very proud, and he decided to add some more explosive news. "The second thing is that I got full marks in English in the third mock exam!"
He proudly puffed up his chest. Praise me! Praise me quickly! Dad and Mom, I never thought I could be your pride!
"Pah!" Zhao Lixia's broom handle fell on his butt.
"You little brat, it's fine if you lied to me once, but you dare to lie to me twice. Qin Shiqing can't even get full marks in English. What you said is even more unreliable than winning the first prize!"
Su Jianjun also kept shaking his head and sighing: "Alas, I told your mom last week that you have become much more sensible. You can't lie!"
"Pah, pah, pah!"
The broom hit like raindrops, and Su Zelin could only run away with his head in his hands.
"Mom, believe me, I really got full marks in English!" While holding the schoolbag to parry, he finally pulled out the third model English test paper.
"Look for yourself!"
Zhao Lixia's broom stopped at this time, and when she took the test paper, she saw the bright red 150.
"How is it, I didn't lie to you?"
Zhao Lixia flipped it a few times.
"Not bad, Su Zelin, your technique of changing scores is getting better and better, there is no trace at all!" Su Zelin has a criminal record. He used a correction pen to change the scores of test papers before, trying to hide the truth, but unfortunately he was discovered by the two elders, and he had to be beaten again.
Seeing Zhao Lixia raised the broom again, Su Zelin hurriedly said: "Mom, you can ask Qin Shiqing to see if I'm lying to you all!"
Zhao Lixia half believed and half doubted: "Okay, I'll go to Shiqing now, and ask her to come over for dinner. Jianjun, keep an eye on this rascal, don't let him run away!" Fearing that it was Su Zelin's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, Zhao Lixia also reminded her husband before leaving.
After a while, she came back, followed by Qin Shiqing.
The anger on Zhao Lixia's face has turned into surprise. "Son, did you really get full marks in English and win the second prize?"
"I told you guys a long time ago, but you just didn't believe me!" Su Zelin rubbed his swollen buttocks in grievance.
If I had known, I wouldn't have tried to act cool and would have brought Shiqing with me. His mother didn't believe him, and he got beaten for nothing.
"No way!" Su Jianjun couldn't believe it either, and his eyes turned to Qin Shiqing.
"Uncle, it's true. Zelin's English is the first in the school this time, and he and I went to the store to check the lottery!" Qin Shiqing nodded to confirm.
Su Jianjun finally believed it, surprised and happy.
I didn't expect that his son would make such progress.
"Zelin, how much prize money did you say just now?" Zhao Lixia asked again.
"Fifty thousand!"
"This is a lot of money, how about your parents keep it for you first?" Zhao Lixia suggested.
Su Zelin has always been a spendthrift, and she was afraid that her son would be arrogant and squander it everywhere.
"No, Mom and Dad, don't worry, I have my own plans for this money, and I will definitely not spend it carelessly!" Su Zelin plans to use this first pot of gold as a startup fund in the future. But before going to college, he can still operate it a little to make it lay more eggs.
But he has to start doing real things after the college entrance examination. Before graduation, his parents will definitely not allow him to toss and turn, and spend time and energy on things other than the college entrance examination.
"You are a little kid, what can you do with such a large sum of money." Zhao Lixia is still worried.
"Okay, okay, Lixia, our son has grown up, and besides, this money was earned by him in the lottery, so let's not interfere too much." Su Jianjun tried to smooth things over.
Zhao Lixia muttered a few more words, and then she stopped nagging. Anyway, she was still very happy. The son got full marks in English and won the second prize in the lottery, which can be regarded as double happiness.
Su Zelin's scores in other subjects were a bit lame, but the two elders were immersed in joy and didn't say anything.
Dinner was ready soon. Su Zelin took a can of beer from refrigerator for his father, and a can of Guangshi pineapple beer for himself. Zhao Lixia frowned again when she saw this. Although she finally agreed to her son smoking at home, she never allowed Su Zelin to drink alcohol, because alcohol would damage the brain of young people and affect their studies.
Before his mother got angry, Su Zelin opened the can without asking for permission, and then smiled and said, "Mom, today is a double happiness, right? We should celebrate it well. Besides, this pineapple beer has little alcohol content, just like a drink. How about you try it first?"
"Go away, I won't drink it! It seems that you will become a smoker and alcoholic sooner or later like your father. The older one is ignorant, and the younger one is not good at learning!" Zhao Lixia cursed, but she acquiesced.
In a few months, her son will go to college. The rascal will be far away, and she can't control him even if she wants to. Su Jianjun saw that the fire was burning on him, and hurriedly explained: "Haha, I also need to socialize!"
Zhao Lixia snorted coldly: "Socializing, socializing, you use this as an excuse all day long, I haven't seen you do any big business, and you keep talking like a big boss?"
"Auntie, calm down, today is a good day, you should be happy." Qin Shiqing smiled and put a piece of chicken into Zhao Lixia's bowl.
"Shiqing is still a good girl, sensible and obedient. This rascal is always troublesome. Sooner or later, I will be angry to death. It would be great if I had such a good daughter-in-law in the future!" Zhao Lixia took advantage of the topic and said something with a hidden meaning.
Qin Shiqing's pretty face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head to eat.
Su Zelin coughed dryly and raised the pineapple beer in his hand: "Dad, let's have one for the two of us."
"Okay, let's have one!"
*****
After staying at home for two days, he went back to school with Qin Shiqing as usual on Sunday night.
As soon as he entered the classroom, a lot of eyes fell on the two of them. Moreover, Su Zelin was able to quickly determine that the person everyone was looking at was him, not Qin Shiqing next to him.
If it was because he changed his image last week that his classmates paid so much attention to him, then the novelty would have worn off after a week.
Su Zelin was a little puzzled, but soon understood the reason.
As soon as he sat down at his seat, Lu Haoran asked excitedly: "Zelin, did you really win the second prize of the lottery, the prize money is 50,000 yuan?"
"How did you know?" Su Zelin was surprised.
Except for Qin Shiqing and Tang Yan, he had not told anyone in the school about this, and he did not plan to tell anyone else.
Never showoff wealth!
His eyes subconsciously turned to Tang Yan.
"I didn't tell Lu Haoran, I can swear!" Xiaoyanzi pointed to the sky with one hand.
"Liu Wei told me!" Lu Haoran hurriedly helped her clarify.
"Liu Wei?"
This is a boy from Class 2, but how could he know about this?
If Tang Yan told Haozi, it would be fine, but now the situation seems to be more beyond expectations than expected.
Su Zelin's eyes turned to Tang Yan again. Qin Shiqing was definitely not a suspect, so the key to the problem must be Xiaoyanzi.
Tang Yan felt guilty when he looked at her, and said a little embarrassedly: "This is the first time I have seen someone win such a high prize in the lottery, and it happened to a classmate next to me. If I keep this kind of thing in my heart, it will make me sick, and it may affect my studies. So I couldn't help but share this little secret with Dong Ying, but I solemnly told her to keep it a secret for you!"
I'm so angry...
Su Zelin was so angry.
Dong Ying was Tang Yan's roommate, and the two had a good relationship. The most important thing is that this girl is nicknamed "Little Trumpet" and is famous for gossip. If she becomes a paparazzi in the future, she will definitely become the mainstay of Entertainment Weekly.
If "Little Trumpet" knows about something, that means the whole class will know it soon!
Su Zelin's face darkened instantly, and he sneered: "Sure enough, women's mouths are deceitful. It's better to believe that a sow can climb a tree than to believe that a woman can keep her mouth shut. I am really stupid and naive!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this." Tang Yan apologized to him for the first time.
"Don't be so stingy, at most I'll treat you to soda for a week!"
"You owe me anyway!" Su Zelin was furious: "You will be punished to help Haozi to bring water till graduation!"
When Lu Haoran saw that Su Zelin was dragging himself, he hurriedly said: "I don't need it, I don't need it!"
"Then punish her to help me, but Qin Shiqing helped me to open my cup, so I'll lend it to you. It's decided happily!" Su Zelin's words confused the honest man, and it was not easy to refuse.
My deskmate has a lot of tricks.
"Just hit me!" Tang Yan curled her lips.
This time she was in the wrong, but she didn't dare to protest or bargain with Su Zelin. Anyway, when Qin Shiqing fetched water for Su Zelin last week, she also fetched water for Lu Haoran, so it was just a piece of cake, so she didn't care about the punishment.
At this point, Su Zelin had no choice.
However, he made a plan. As long as someone in the class borrowed money, he would blame the two elders and say that they had confiscated the bonus.
