Chapter Ten

  Wang QiQi was sleeping in the living room, but she had locked all the anti-theft doors and windows. Especially at night, Luo Yi would tell herself not to be afraid, as they were always paying attention to any movements in the house. Moreover, Liu Shu from upstairs had tied his wolf dog to the door, saying that if someone tried to break in, the dog wouldn't be polite.

  Wang QiQi wanted to say she wasn't worried, but seeing the pity in her neighbors' eyes, she accepted their feelings towards her. Anyway, she was originally weak and small, so pretending to be pitiful wouldn't hurt.

  Wang Qiqi didn't know if it was because she hadn't rested well the day before, but when she woke up, it was already after 5 o'clock. She had just finished washing up when she saw Han Tao getting up across from her. "Are you going to school now?" Wang Qiqi asked, although she was also a good student, compared to Han Tao, they were worlds apart. Especially since Han Tao was an impressive figure, and although she didn't know what he would study or do in the future, Li Cui had mentioned that Luo Hongjuan's son was very capable and had taken his mother to Beijing to live a life of luxury, even buying a villa for her to live in. This made Wang Qiqi extremely surprised, because in her memory, Han Tao used to be someone who wore glasses, didn't talk much, and often stayed at home reading books, just like herself in her past life, except his grades were better than hers, and their future achievements would be even more different.

  Now that she can see Han Tao before he became successful, Wang Qiqi still wants to get a little familiar with him. After all, her future days may be troublesome for Auntie Han, and besides, getting to know a promising young man might come in handy someday when she really needs his help.

  Han Tao didn't think much of it when his mother told him yesterday that Wang Qiqi next door wasn't as introverted as before. Since he was a child, Han Tao had seen many people's faces, especially those so-called relatives with whom he shared blood ties. On them, Han Tao thoroughly felt the coldness of human relationships. From childhood to adulthood, the only thought in his mind was to study hard and make something of himself, so that his mother could hold her head high in front of all their relatives and show them that Han Gang's son wasn't a loser, even though he didn't have a father, but he could still let his mother live a good life.

  Today, Han Tao habitually got up early to exercise downstairs and review some English vocabulary on the way. Unexpectedly, he saw Wang Qiqi, and what surprised him even more was that Wang Qiqi actually greeted him. This made Han Tao a bit uncomfortable, not because Wang Qiqi had been arrogant and ignored him before, but because Wang Qiqi was really too quiet. "Uh, I'm going downstairs to exercise." After saying this, Han Tao was about to go downstairs. He really didn't know how to talk to Wang Qiqi. "Your uncle and aunt have already left. Even in heaven, they wouldn't want to see you unhappy."

  Wang Qiqi did not expect that this bookworm would actually comfort herself, which surprised Wang Qiqi. However, she immediately called out to Han Tao, "Hey Han Tao, I don't understand some of the questions, can I ask for your help later?"

  Han Tao was still wondering why Wang Qiqi had called out to him, and he hadn't expected her to have such a request. He hesitated for a moment, "I heard from my mom that you've been taking time off from work lately?" Han Tao really hadn't expected Wang Qiqi to insist on bringing her parents back home and even take time off to mourn at home. This left Han Tao speechless, but as someone's child, it wasn't easy to do this. "Okay, but I only have time on weekends." Usually, Han Tao was quite busy too, sometimes he had to go out to tutor and earn some extra money.

  Don't look at Han Tao, he's just a high school student in his second year, but his grades are really good. Some parents are willing to invite him, they think this way can make them more understand their children's thoughts. At the beginning, maybe they were treating a dead horse as if it were alive, but after those poor students' grades really improved, Han Tao's reputation spread outside. Many people lined up waiting for Han Tao to tutor, of course there are also people waiting to see him fall from his throne as the top student in grade, but those people waited and waited, only to find that a certain person's grades were leading the pack.

  Wang Qiqi didn't understand why it had to be on weekends, "Can't we just do it on a normal day?"

  Han Tao looked at Wang Qiqi, "I'm really sorry, did I ask something I shouldn't have?" Wang Qiqi didn't respond, thinking that Han had something he didn't want to tell her, and immediately apologized repeatedly.

  Han Tao shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that I usually have to do tutoring outside and bring those people to do homework, so I don't have a lot of time either. And sometimes on weekends, I also have things to do." Han Tao calculated this way and found that he really didn't have much time to spare for Wang Qiqi, feeling a bit embarrassed.

  Wang Qiqi didn't expect that Han Tao was still doing part-time tutoring outside, oh my god, is this the reason why children from poor families have to grow up early? "You're so amazing, how about this, I'll write notes to Luo Yi when I encounter problems during my review, and you can answer them on the notes when you have time, okay?" Since Han Tao wanted to earn money, Wang Qiqi couldn't delay him, of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough to say something like "I'll pay you for tutoring", if that were the case, she might as well not ask Han Tao for help.

  Han Tao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement before going downstairs to go running.

  Wang QiQi looked at his back, and suddenly had an idea. Maybe after she understood this matter, she could also get up early every day to exercise with Han Tao. On the one hand, it was good for her body, and on the other hand, she could take the opportunity to ask Han Tao more questions.

  The next day, early in the morning, people started coming to visit one after another, such as colleagues and leaders from Wang's parents' work units. Of course, Wang Qi Qi registered all the gifts of money they brought, but the gifts from the unit didn't need to be reciprocated, those were the ones that Wang Qi Qi would have to return in the future.

  Wang Qi was busy all morning, if it wasn't for the previous preparations, such as Luo Yi buying back disposable cups with tea leaves inside and boiling enough water, she would have been really overwhelmed. It can be said that Wang Qi was running around in circles, and later on, if several aunts hadn't taken over to help, she would have been really unable to cope.

  "Huh, Qiqi, your uncle and aunt, and Eldest Aunt haven't arrived yet?" A neighbor also came to give a gift, it was only then that she realized so many people had come over, but surprisingly, only Qiqi was helping out. Not to mention her Eldest Aunt, even Wang Dagui's wife, who lived very close by, hadn't shown up either. How could this not raise suspicions? "Your aunt said yesterday that she'd taken a few days off to come help out."

  Wang Qiqi raised her head, smiled bitterly and said, "Yesterday, my elder sister called to say that there was something at home and she couldn't come over. My aunt said she wasn't feeling well, and my uncle had to take care of my aunt and younger sister." They really got together, especially my elder sister mentioned a few words on the phone, she understood that they should wait for her call to give them an excuse to step down, but Wang Qiqi didn't follow their script.

  "Is Li Cuisheng sick?" someone asked in puzzlement, she had clearly seen her going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables this morning.

  "I called my aunt yesterday and told her that since she's not feeling well, she should just stay home and take care of herself. I'll handle things here." Humph, I'd rather not ask for your help, won't give you the chance to show off and control me, let alone the fact that people will keep coming to send gifts and money, even though my parents' matter hasn't been resolved yet. The company and colleagues will still come to send things, which shows the company's care for its employees, of course, this gift is also a big deal, so no matter what factor, Wang Qiqi won't give in."

  It's not necessary to say too much, just Qiqi said these two sentences, and many people had a new understanding in their minds. It turned out that Wang Dajun's brothers and sisters were not very good either. To know that this is the last thing, one by one did not come, even his own brother said he wanted to stay at home to take care of his wife. As for the neighbor, with a puzzled expression, it seemed like there was something inside. Plus thinking about the city's sensational car accident case, everyone had some doubts, but currently they just thought about it.

  On this side, Wang Qiqi was busy running around, while on the other side, Li Cui was guarding the phone, waiting for Wang Qiqi's call. However, no matter how long she waited, there was no call from Wang Qiqi. Originally, she thought that Wang Qiqi didn't call her yesterday because she was holding back, but unexpectedly, there really wasn't another call from her. "That big rich guy, what do you think we should do? Today, who knows who will come to our door?" The more Li Cui thought about it, the more she couldn't bear to part with those gifts of money. After all, Elder Brother and his wife had a good reputation in their unit, and this was the last round, so colleagues and the unit would definitely give generously.

  Li Cui thought of having to face the portrait of her late husband, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart. "Dagu, I'm not good at showing my face, why don't you show your face?"

  Wang Dagu was staring in the direction of his brother's house, although several buildings were in between. He couldn't stop imagining what was happening inside his brother's home. In fact, he was also regretful. Now that he heard Li Cui's words, he got annoyed. His eyes widened, "You're blaming me? Didn't you and my sister say yesterday that we shouldn't get involved with outsiders? It's all up to Qiqi now. You've pushed everything onto me. Isn't this your doing? I kept telling you to be nice to Qiqi, to go along with her. Now look what's happened."

  Li Cu gave Wang Da Gui a tone that scared him back several steps, and it was only after a long time that she stammered and asked, "What do we do now?"

  What to do? Wang Daguai sneered, "We can only wait, what else can we do? Can that little girl really handle everything?" Even if they entertain the guests well, don't they still need to choose a burial site? Such a big thing, he didn't believe that little girl could handle it alone. Wait and see how she'll deal with it herself later.
