Quick Wear: Cannon Fodder

With the computer as a new toy, Ye Zhiqiu no longer had to go to the library every day during the summer vacation. Apart from sleeping and eating, she spent most of her time in front of the computer. If she hadn't remembered to practice martial arts, she would probably not be able to bear it.

Her grandparents were worried that she would become addicted to games, so they watched her for a few days and found that she spent most of her time studying. With no one watching her, she spent her days in a hurry and almost forgot the day when school started.

Grandma and grandpa took care of the procedures for the start of school. All the documents had been prepared long ago. She only needed to provide people. However, she had not yet mentioned that she wanted to live on campus. She had to communicate in advance. Apart from other things, living on campus required a lot of daily necessities, including bedding. Fortunately, school started in a week, so it was not too late to say it now.

She didn't want to bring it up proactively, fearing that her grandparents would disagree and get angry, so she acted a little cunningly and deliberately talked about life after school at the dinner table. She said that the junior high school she chose was a bit far away and it was not a middle school near her home, so she definitely wouldn't have enough time to go back and forth every day at noon, and her grandmother couldn't drive, so she didn't know what to do.

Grandma nodded: "You can take the bus, but time is a bit tight. If there is a traffic jam or you miss the bus, you will definitely be too late."

"Grandma, the teacher will keep the class going too long. The teacher of the last class likes to keep the get out of class going too long. Even if the class ends late, it will be too late. Well, my teacher was like this when I was in elementary school. I didn't even have time to go to the toilet during the break." What Ye Zhiqiu didn't say was that she had a small privilege. The teacher allowed her to leave get out of class early and go to the toilet at any time.

This is not because she has good grades, but because she is young and the teacher is worried that she will wet her pants.

"Well, Qiuqiu is right. Not being able to drive is indeed troublesome. Let me think of a way." Grandpa is willing to take charge of the pick-up and drop-off, but he can only do it in the morning and evening, and he definitely can't leave at noon. Looking at his son, he can't leave at noon, and only his wife has time, so the best way is to take a taxi.

"It's not cost-effective to take a taxi. Let's rent a car on a monthly basis." Grandma is a person who knows how to live. Even though the family is rich, she won't tolerate the habit of spending money lavishly.

"I think it's okay." The grandfather, the head of the family, spoke, and the matter was settled.

Although the first love felt sorry for the money, she was not the one paying, so she had no reason to stop him. She could only look at the man who was incompetent and could not read people's expressions. What was the point of a man like this who made less money than her father-in-law at his age?

She didn't say anything, but Ye Zhiqiu raised a new question: "Grandma is not at home, and aunt has gone to work. The nanny is the only one at home. Will she beat the baby secretly? Should we install a surveillance camera?" She said this on purpose because she knew the nanny was not in the living room, otherwise she would have said something else.

The adults in the room were lost in thought, considering the possibility that the nanny was secretly abusing the child. They often saw such things on the news, but they shouldn't be so unlucky to meet a bad person.

Ye Jingming almost subconsciously retorted: "What's the point of installing surveillance? Even if she hides in the toilet and beats the child, we can't capture her."

"Then Auntie, don't you want to go to work?" Ye Zhiqiu knew that her first love would rather go to work than stay at home to take care of the children, so she said this to deliberately squeeze her, hoping that she would speak up and express different opinions. It would be good if she had opinions, and she could also bring up the topic of living on campus.

Ye Jingming thought about it seriously for a few seconds and actually agreed with the idea, but before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by his first love.

"How can I not go to work? I also have parents to support. Can you help me?" First Love knew how to make Ye Jingming change his mind. She saw through this man.

When Ye Jingming heard that he had to support his parents-in-law, he immediately changed his mind: "I have to support the children and you, so I don't have any extra money. Shouldn't your parents be supported by your brother? You don't have any share of the family property, so why should you support them?"

Ye Zhiqiu quietly complained to the system: "Look at how much men think, they want to have all the good things."

The system doesn't understand men, but it understands the law, and it also despises Ye Jingming: "According to the law, both men and women have the obligation to support their parents. Your father is wrong. A college student is actually ignorant of the law."

"You admire college students? How about sending you to school for further studies?" Ye Zhiqiu felt that there was a certain degree of misunderstanding in the system's view of college students.

"Further training is something only you humans need. I am a system that does not require any training from the moment it leaves the factory." A hint of pride flashed in the system's words. It is a noble and advanced system, which is not comparable to low-level humans. A species that needs lifelong learning is not even worthy of carrying shoes for it.

They were chatting happily, but the first love was so angry that she didn't want to talk. She didn't want to continue discussing this topic in front of her parents-in-law, but she still had to explain: "You didn't support me, I also have a job, even if I eat at home and don't give me any money, it's my parents who support me, it has nothing to do with you."

Grandma glanced at her son who couldn't speak: "Okay, let's talk about the nanny now, and stop talking about other things. Qiuqiu's worries are reasonable. I'll watch out for it. The child is still young and can't speak. He won't complain if he's abused."

Chulian didn't believe that the nanny would secretly beat the child, but she rolled her eyes and thought of a good way to save money, "Mom, you make sense, I am worried about this too. You can't leave home, Qiuqiu can eat in the school cafeteria at noon, I see many students do this."

Grandma was the first to disagree: "How can that be possible? Qiuqiu is still young and is in the growth stage. What can you eat in the school cafeteria? How can you grow tall without nutrition?"

Ye Jingming stood up and sang a different tune: "Mom, you didn't say that when I was a kid. When I ate in the cafeteria, you said it was clean and convenient. It was also worry-free and trouble-free to not have to cook at home. If my son can eat it, why can't my granddaughter eat it?"

"How can they be the same? You ate in the factory cafeteria when you were a kid. You don't know what the food is like? They don't say it's good, but they dare to cut corners and pass off inferior products as good ones. Workers in the workshop dare to smash the big pot in the cafeteria. How many tricks are there in school cafeterias now? Don't you know and you don't watch the news?"

After being scolded by his own mother, Ye Jingming simply kept silent. It didn't matter how Ye Zhiqiu went to school, as long as he didn't have to pick her up.

Seeing his scumbag father being scolded, Ye Zhiqiu happily put forward his own opinion: "Grandma, I can eat in the cafeteria and not go home at noon. I can also save time to take a nap at school. Only by sleeping more can I grow taller."

"That makes sense." Grandma is a very gullible person. She thinks everything others say makes sense. When she doesn't know what to do, she asks grandpa.

Grandpa doesn’t think the school cafeteria is that bad. If other students can eat it, his own children can eat it too. Besides, teachers also eat in the cafeteria. At most the taste may be a little worse, but the nutrition should be similar.

He nodded and was about to agree to Ye Zhiqiu's proposal, but his grandmother suddenly thought of something: "We seem to have a house for rent near the school, why don't we take it back and move in with our family."
