To make up for the debt owed to Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

It’s just that!

Even my second sister didn't know how to describe it.

Just how big is her mother's face?!

Seeing the calculating look in her mother's eyes, the second sister couldn't help but blurt out, "I won't do such a wicked thing!"

Her mother flew into a rage upon hearing this, "What do you mean by that? Introducing your brother to someone is immoral? What's wrong with your brother? Just because you got into university, you look down on your family? Without me and your father, would you even exist?"

"Have you finished eating? I have class this afternoon, I have to go!" The second sister didn't respond to her mother.

Her mother was furious and quickly finished all the leftovers from Lin Jiagui's meal.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you back to the guesthouse." The second sister stood up.

Her mother, Wu Axiu, was furious, but she could only follow her second sister. It wasn't time to fall out with her second sister yet, and she couldn't afford to offend that son of a cadre from the capital surnamed Yun!

For the next few days, Wu Axiu was quite quiet. She neither contacted her second sister nor Lin Qingping, so much so that Lin Qingping had no idea that her mother had come to the school and stayed at the school guesthouse.

On Saturday afternoon, my second sister went to see her mother and had dinner with her, asking her what her plans were for Sunday.

Her mother waved her hand, "I've made arrangements, everything is settled with your brother, you don't need to worry about it, and you don't need to worry about me!"

The second sister originally planned to go out with her mother and younger brother on Sunday, but since her mother said so, she gave up and went to the Yun family as promised to visit Grandpa Yun.

Because she needed to go home to pick up Zhiyuan, she didn't make Yunqi wait for her. She told Yunqi that he could go home first, and she would take Zhiyuan directly to her house later.

Yunqi agreed.

What the second sister never expected was that when she arrived at the Yun family's house, Yun Qi was waiting on the steps outside the gate, along with her mother and brother.

The second sister's face turned pale. "You guys, why are you here too?"

Yunqi grinned, "I wanted to give you a surprise."

That was quite surprising...

This is terrifying...

But having come this far, she had no way out.

Should we send her mother and brother back?

How strange this seemed to the Yun family!

What does she say when people ask her? Does she say her mother is a tough nut to crack? Once you're involved, you can't get rid of her?

Then she doesn't want to be human anymore...

She even considered saying she had something to do and letting Zhiyuan go up by himself, while she took her mother and younger brother and left.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Grandpa Yun's voice from above, "Zhiyuan and Qingyun are here? Why don't you come up quickly? Qingyun, this is your mother's first time visiting, come up with her."

You've already met them?

Yunqi smiled at her as if to take credit, "Auntie, you've already met Grandpa."

The second sister's vision went black, and she almost lost her balance.

There's truly no way to retreat now...

Zhiyuan took her hand.

That tiny hand gave her strength, and she gripped it tightly.

Yunqi cheerfully called out, "Let's go!"

The second sister took a deep breath; she had no choice but to leave…

The Yun family was all home on Sunday.

Liu Yan had lost face in front of Lin Qingping and her sister and was still holding a grudge. But the Yun family seemed to have a special fondness for these peasants from the Lin family. It was truly baffling what they were thinking!

The Lin family is really something else. It's one thing for the two sisters to bring their child along to freeload and build relationships, but this time, they even brought their mother and brother along. They're shameless to the extreme!

Along with that, Liu Yan also resented the old man: he brought all sorts of dirty and smelly things into the house, making the house like a garbage dump!

As soon as the second sister entered the house, she was met with Liu Yan's gaze. The mockery and disdain in that gaze were undisguised and made people feel uneasy.

Liu Yan's disdainful gaze followed Wu Axiu and Lin Jiagui closely; she felt the carpet they had stepped on and the sofa they had sat on were filthy.

Grandpa Yun and Zhiyuan were chess friends. He invited Zhiyuan over because he wanted to play a couple of games with him.

However, it would be impolite for him to dive into the chessboard as soon as the guests arrived, so he sat down and talked with his grandson Yun Yanyunqi and his second sister's family.

Wu Axiu was already dazzled by the spacious room; it was much prettier than Lin Qingping's room!

Her heart was pounding with excitement, as if she were about to become the owner of such a house!

Wu Axiu's belief became even stronger. As long as her son, Lin Jiagui, married the daughter of a cadre family in the capital, she would be the matriarch! Living in such a house would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

She became quite smug, and when Yun Zheng asked her, "Where is Lin Xiaodi studying now?" she beamed, "Our Gui is still young and hasn't taken the college entrance exam yet. But, our Gui has been smart since he was little. He has always been the top student in the county. Even after he stopped going to school, he was still better than his two older sisters. When his two older sisters were studying, they would ask him questions, and he could answer them all!"

Second Sister: ??? My goodness, don't exaggerate too much!

Yun Zheng was very pleased to hear this. As an elder brother, he always liked to see his younger brothers being intelligent and hardworking! He knew all too well what his younger brother Yun Qi thought of Lin Qingyun. Both Lin Qingyun and her sister were outstanding, and now they had such a promising younger brother. This family was truly wonderful.

"So, is Lin planning to take the college entrance exam this year?" Yun Zheng asked again.

"I plan to! Of course I'll take the exam! Our Jia Gui is the top student in the whole county! How can I not take it? This time, he'll even be the top student in the whole province!" It's no wonder Wu Axiu was so boastful. In her eyes, the Lin Qingping sisters weren't exactly academically inclined. She hadn't seen them study for more than a few days, yet they were able to get into the capital university. Her son, Lin Jia Gui, was much smarter than them, so why couldn't he get in?

Yun Zheng looked at Lin Jiagui with admiration in his eyes, "Young Master Lin is handsome and has a distinguished bearing. He is truly a man of both talent and good looks, a rare and outstanding young man!"

Yun Zheng's praise made Wu Axiu feel like she was on cloud nine, and she said proudly, "That's no exaggeration, our Gui is a handsome young man in the surrounding area!"

This is probably the only thing Wu Axiu didn't brag about; the Lin family members are indeed all good-looking. Lin Qingping and Lin Qingyun are both outstanding in appearance, and her younger brother Lin Jiagui is no less so.

Grandpa Yun interjected, "Does Young Master Lin know how to play chess?"

Just as Wu Axiu was about to continue her boasting, Lin Jiagui tugged at her forcefully. Wu Axiu then remembered that there was a chessboard set up in the house for those listening in. If anyone suddenly decided to invite Lin Jiagui to play a game, it would give them away. She quickly changed her tune, saying, "Our Jiagui only wants to study hard and get into the capital university like her two older sisters, so she doesn't play much else..."

Standing on the second floor, Liu Yan was thoroughly fed up with the self-praise of the country woman downstairs. She beckoned her son, Yun Xiaoshan, over and whispered something in his ear.

Yun Xiaoshan immediately grabbed a book and went downstairs.

He squeezed next to Lin Jiagui, pointed to the open book, and asked, "Brother, can you help me figure out how to do this problem?"
