Zhang Mei was a little embarrassed and said, "We are from a small family and cannot afford to offend those people."

Liu Meixiang looked at Yang Xue, then at Zhang Mei, and said, "I was also scared when they came over that day, but I have already called the police. I will leave everything to the police. I will not sign the letter of apology no matter what."

"Perhaps you two were unconscious and didn't realize how critical the situation was. I was awake, I could see how evil and disgusting they were, and I could feel how painful it was when they hit me!"

Yang Xue and Zhang Mei felt even more embarrassed and a little scared when they heard this.

"Thanks to you that day, otherwise we would both have been dead!" Yang Xue said gratefully.

Zhang Mei also nodded and agreed: "Yes, in such a critical moment, you can still find a way to save us. I really don't know how to thank you. This is the note I copied for you. Take a look at it and don't let your studies fall behind!"

Yang Xue didn't want to continue discussing this issue, so she said, "Mei Xiang, the final exam is tomorrow. You can't take it in your current state, right?"

Liu Meixiang nodded, "Yes, I can't take the exam. I have asked the teacher for leave and will take the make-up exam next year."

"What a pity that you can't participate in the scholarship selection!" Yang Xue said regretfully, "But your grades are so good, you will definitely be among the top in the scholarship selection next semester."

Liu Meixiang showed regret on her face, "There's nothing I can do about it. My hand is still broken and I can't write!"

After chatting for a while, Yang Xue and Zhang Mei left.

Seeing them leave, Liu Meixiang's face darkened.

Liu Meilan came back from the sea and happened to visit Liu Meixiang. She saw Liu Meixiang looking unhappy and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Meixiang told her what happened when Yang Xue and Zhang Mei came over just now. "Because their family members were forced, I can understand their behavior of signing the letter of apology!"

"But they didn't tell me in advance when they signed. I didn't even know that Chen Yang and Yu Xin's family were coming to Shenzhen. If I had known, I wouldn't have been so passive that night."

Liu Meilan nodded. "Yes, if they wanted to tell you in advance, even if they couldn't come to the hospital, they could call or ask Teacher Chen to tell you. But they didn't say anything!"

Aunt Liu sighed, "In fact, we have you, Meilan, to back us up, so we dare to confront you. If we rely on ourselves, we can't afford to offend these rich and powerful people!"

"What Yang Xue and Zhang Mei did is understandable, but they didn't consider Mei Xiang's feelings at the time. This girl is also a fussy person and has been angry all the time."

Liu Meilan's expression was serious. "I think Meixiang is right to be angry. It's up to them whether they forgive or not. But Meixiang was able to save people and delay time in such a dangerous situation. They should have informed Meixiang before making this decision!"

Hearing this, Liu Meixiang seemed to understand and said, "Yes, that's how it feels!"

Liu Meilan nodded. "Some things are fine if you just know them in your heart. These two friends can't be close friends! Don't tell them anything other than study."

"Oh, aunt, I discussed it with Xiaoyu. There is a house near our company that has a lot of people coming and going. I think uncle can get a tobacco license and sell cigarettes there."

"Fishermen are busy on the boat and rarely smoke. But after getting off the boat, they will definitely smoke. If I open a tobacco shop there and sell cold drinks in the summer and hot tea in the winter, I think I should make more money than my second uncle does on the island."

Aunt Liu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked, "How much is the rent for that house? Is it expensive?"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Actually, our company rented it. It's only 8 or 9 square meters, not very big, and we keep some sundries there. Just give us a symbolic amount of money when the time comes!"

Aunt Liu thought for a moment and said, "Meilan, you have always taken care of our family. We have taken advantage of you too much! How about this? If we open this store, 30% of the profit will be used to pay the rent! Do you think this is okay?"

Liu Meilan really didn't want to take the money. She was doing this now to repay her uncle and aunt for saving her life and their kindness to her when she was a child.

"If you feel bad about it, then give me 10%! If I give you 30%, you won't know how much money you can make!"

Aunt Liu was determined, "Selling cigarettes there will definitely make money! There are not only boatmen, but also many laborers. If we can sell some wine, we can make more money!"

Liu Meilan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll ask Xiaoyu to help your uncle get the relevant documents. We should be able to put the goods on a few shelves."

"I'll have the house renovated before the New Year, and my second uncle will be able to come to the city to work after the New Year! By then, I'll rent a house in the same neighborhood as mine. Although it's a bit more expensive, it's very safe."

Aunt Liu thought for a while and asked, "Meilan, is there anyone selling the house over there? I have a regular job now and can get a loan! This way we don't have to rent a house!"

Liu Meilan was stunned. "That's good. It's close, and the rent can cover half of the loan! If you have money, buy more houses now before the house prices go up too high!"

Aunt Liu was stunned. "Meilan, the housing prices have risen so much now, isn't it still not high?"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "That's just the beginning. Let's not talk about anything else. The place where Xiaoyu and I live is estimated to increase to 30,000 or 40,000!"

"The houses developed by my second brother, for example, could rise in value to 50,000 or 60,000 yuan in the future, or even higher! That's why I often advise my boatmen to buy houses if they have money."

"If you can afford it, don't pay back the loan yet, you can use the down payment to buy somewhere else! Buy early and earn early, just know this."

Liu Meixiang blinked her eyes. "I wish I could start working right now so I can get a loan to buy a house!"

Liu Meilan thought for a moment and said, "In fact, you can earn two to three thousand yuan a month in an ornamental fish store. If you meet exhibitions or foreign customers, you can earn more."

"At least during your studies, this salary is stable and can be used as a loan. If you want to buy a house and don't have enough for the down payment, I can lend it to you! Pay me back when you make money!"

Liu Meixiang was very excited and just wanted to borrow money when she was stopped by Aunt Liu.

"Meilan, I know you mean well, but our family has already benefited too much. We can't take advantage of you anymore!"

"Mei Xiang has money and ability, so she will buy it. She doesn't have money now, but she will buy it when she makes money in the future!"

Liu Meixiang calmed down and realized that her mother was right and that one should not push things too far.

"Sister, I only have 16,000 yuan right now! I'll buy it when I save enough for the down payment!"

Liu Meilan rolled her eyes when she heard this. "By the time you save up hundreds of thousands for a down payment, the housing prices will have gone up a lot, and you won't have enough for the down payment by then!"

"My brother is selling houses at the end of the year. You can pay a deposit of 1 yuan and I will book the house you like. When you have enough money, you can pay the down payment and sign the contract."
