Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

After get off work, He Yuzhu couldn't wait to run to the secret meeting place with Ran Qiuye - Beijing Library.

When He Yuzhu arrived at the library, he found Ran Qiuye was already reading in the reading room.

He Yuzhu casually picked up a copy of "Song of Youth", quietly came to sit next to Ran Qiuye, and whispered: "Qiuye, why are you here so early today?"

Ran Qiuye looked up and saw that it was He Yuzhu, and said with a grin, "I only have two classes this afternoon, so I came early!"

He Yuzhu nodded slightly and continued: "Qiuye, let's go outside and talk. I have something to ask you!"

Ran Qiuye knew that He Yuzhu was afraid of disturbing others who were reading. A hint of admiration flashed in her eyes, and she cooperated very well and followed He Yuzhu out of the library.

Ran Qiuye smiled sweetly, "Comrade He Yuzhu, just ask me, I will tell you everything I know."

"Cough cough!"

He Yuzhu cleared his throat twice and said in a serious tone, "Comrade Ran Qiuye, do I have to go to night school every day?"

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "No, as long as you pass every exam, it's okay to miss a class once, but you'd better go today, after all, today is your registration day."

He Yuzhu continued to ask: "Which university is hosting the night school class I signed up for?"

Ran Qiuye blurted out, "Peking University!"

He Yuzhu was surprised. "What? Peking University?"

It is no wonder that He Yuzhu was surprised. After all, Peking University is one of the two top universities in the country in later generations, and it is a university that thousands of students strive to get into.

Ran Qiuye looked at He Yuzhu with a surprised face and asked in confusion: "Is there something wrong with the Peking University night school class?"

He Yuzhu restrained his expression and pretended to be calm: "There's nothing wrong, I just want to ask if I can get a university diploma from Peking University?"

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "Yes, as long as you can persevere and take the exams step by step, you can get a diploma from Peking University."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he was happy at first, but then he gave a wry smile. Three years in junior high school, three years in high school, and four years in college, a total of ten years.

But in another three years, that turbulent period would come, followed by the suspension of classes across the country and the movement to go to the countryside. It would be good enough for him to get a junior high school diploma, so how could he even dream of a college diploma?

However, it is good to get a junior high school diploma. After all, he is a cadre now. Having a junior high school diploma will be helpful in the future. Of course, it would be even better to have a high school diploma or a technical secondary school diploma.

He Yuzhu regained his consciousness and smiled calmly, "Thank you Comrade Ran Qiuye, I have finished asking my questions!"

Ran Qiuye smiled dimple-like, "Comrade He Yuzhu, now that you have finished asking questions, I have a few questions for you."

He Yuzhu paused for a moment, then said cheerfully, "Comrade Ran Qiuye, if you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "Comrade He Yuzhu, I seem to remember that you live at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. Do you know a kid named Jia Geng?"

He Yuzhu's face instantly turned ugly when he heard this. "Of course I know him. Jia Geng lives in the same compound as us. Do you remember the ungrateful family I told you about before?"

Ran Qiuye nodded slightly, "Of course I remember!"

"This ungrateful family is Jia Geng's family. Jia Geng has been naughty and mischievous since he was young. He has done all kinds of evil things. He is a greedy, despising the poor and loving the rich, and repaying kindness with enmity."

"Fuck Qin Huairu, she looks gentle and weak on the surface, but she is as poisonous as a scorpion, fickle, and attracts bees and butterflies. She wants to ruin my reputation and ruin my blind date. She wants me to be her blood bag for the rest of my life."

"His grandmother, Jia Zhang, is lazy, arrogant, and unreasonable. She is a shrew who throws a tantrum at the slightest provocation and is currently being held in the police station."

Ran Qiuye's eyes darkened slightly, "What you said is too scary, isn't it?"

He Yuzhu said sternly: "Qiuye, everything I said is true, there is no exaggeration at all, if you don't believe it, you can go and find out for yourself."

"By the way, why are you asking about Jia Geng?"

Ran Qiuye smiled bitterly and said, "Jia Geng is a student in my class. This morning, he stole eggs from a female classmate and was beaten by passers-by and sent to the hospital. The incident even alerted the police station."

He Yuzhu grinned and said, "I'm not surprised at all that Banggeng could do such a thing. He often snatches other children's food in the compound. His performance in school must not be that good, right?"

Ran Qiuye held his forehead and said, "Indeed, he doesn't listen carefully in class, bullies female classmates after class, and often skips classes and doesn't hand in homework. I thought he was just naughty, but I didn't expect his behavior to be so bad."

He Yuzhu sneered, "If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. There is no way to teach such a child. Don't waste your time and energy on him."

Ran Qiuye smiled bitterly and said, "But the principal asked me to take some time to visit his home and collect the tuition!"

He Yuzhu asked knowingly, "It's been almost two months since the start of school, hasn't Banggeng paid the tuition yet?"

Ran Qiuye said distressedly: "Yes, the teacher in charge of finance asks me for tuition every now and then..."

He Yuzhu asked worriedly, "You didn't pay Banggeng's tuition, did you?"

Ran Qiuye frowned and said, "Not yet, but the finance teacher asks me for tuition every few days. I'm tired of asking him. I'm just thinking of paying for Jia Geng's tuition!"

He Yuzhu said seriously, "Don't do that. If the Jia family knew that you paid for Banggeng's tuition, you would never get the money back."

"Why? Is Jia Geng's family so poor? They can't even afford the two dollars and fifty cents tuition?" Ran Qiuye's face was full of confusion.

He Yuzhu asked back: "Look at Banggeng's appearance and clothes. Does he look like a child from a poor family?"

Ran Qiuye frowned and said, "Jia Geng is white and plump, and his clothes have no patches. He looks like a child from a wealthy family."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly. "The Jia family is not poor, but they are good at pretending to be poor, especially Qin Huairu, who always pretends to be poor, miserable, and pitiful. That's how I was deceived by her!"

Ran Qiuye joked, "I heard that you helped the family because you saw that Widow Qin was pretty and you were attracted by her beauty?"

"Cough cough!"

He Yuzhu cleared his throat twice to hide his embarrassment, and then said frivolously: "Widow Qin is not even as good as one of your toes. If I am tempted by your beauty, it is you..."

Hearing this, Ran Qiuye's pretty face flushed, and she gave He Yuzhu a charming look, "You are so slick, if you continue to be so frivolous, I will ignore you!"

He Yuzhu changed the subject and asked, "Is Banggeng seriously injured?"

Ran Qiuye frowned and said, "It's quite serious. It's said that it will take a month or two before he can get out of bed and walk!"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes and said with a wicked smile: "Then you can ask him to repeat the grade on the grounds that Banggeng can't keep up with the learning progress!"

Ran Qiuye hesitated and said, "This is not good!"

He Yuzhu smiled calmly and said, "What's wrong with this? Banggeng is naughty and mischievous, so his grades are already bad. Now he has to wait for several months, so he will be even more unable to keep up with the progress. It's for his own good to let him repeat the grade."

Ran Qiuye heard this and his eyes narrowed into a crescent shape in an instant, "That makes sense..."
