In my previous life, in the dormitory, Zhang Minmin and several others looked down on everyone. They were already difficult to get along with, and Tian Tian and the others also excluded her subtly. Before, she couldn't understand why, but now, she finally understood.
It turned out that Xu Zhenzhen was truly instrumental behind all this.
When Tang Yue entered the dormitory and Xu Zhenzhen saw her, she immediately stopped talking and said, "Tang Yue, so you went to buy a bucket and a washbasin. Right, Tian Tian and I are going to stroll around the school later, do you want to come with us?"
Xu Zhenzhen looked at her with a beaming smile. If Tang Yue hadn't heard the previous complaints, she might not have known that Xu Zhenzhen was two-faced, with her ability to act so differently in front of others compared to behind them.
"No thanks, I'm going to find my uncle later," Tang Yue declined, with a smile on her face, she said, "Zhenzhen, the reason I didn't want to change beds is because I think the light is really good on the top bunk."
After explaining, Tang Yue didn't pay attention to Xu Zhenzhen and Tian Tian's surprise. After putting down the bucket and washbasin, she left.
Xu Zhenzhen said somewhat awkwardly, "Tian Tian, maybe I misunderstood."
"It's okay, I think Tang Yue is quite easy to get along with," Tian Tian replied, her face full of envy, "Look how pretty Tang Yue is, her eyes are like they can speak."
Xu Zhenzhen's lips twitched, she nonchalantly said, "Really?"
She and Tang Yue had grown up together and everyone always said she was more beautiful than Tang Yue. This was the first time someone had said Tang Yue was prettier than her in front of her.
Are her eyes pretty?
Xu Zhenzhen seriously tried to recall but realized that she actually couldn't remember.
The smile on Xu Zhenzhen's face faded, and Tian Tian, unaware, eagerly dragged Xu Zhenzhen to start touring the new school. The several teaching buildings, when compared to the town's school, were worlds apart.
Tang Yue followed her memory to Fusheng Restaurant on the street next to the school. The school had always been in her memory, and now the thing she most wanted to do was to find Tang Mingli.
If her memory served right, Tang Mingli died during the National Day holiday, which was less than a month away.
In 1986, the town's streets, compared to the prosperity of later years, seemed quite backward. Many of the large shopping malls and real estate that she remembered should have been there, had not yet been developed.
Tang Yue finally found Fusheng Restaurant after a long search. Just as she entered the restaurant, she bumped into a man.
"Hello uncle, I'm looking for Tang Mingli, is he here?" Tang Yue surveyed Fusheng Restaurant, which was two stories high, a bit old but it looked like the business was still good. It was just after lunchtime, and in the hall, many people were clearing up the dishes.
"Little girl, what do you want with Tang Mingli?" The man was a waiter at Fusheng Restaurant, and he often hung out with Tang Mingli.
"He is my uncle," Tang Yue explained with a smile.
The waiter looked her over before saying, "That's unfortunate, he just went out. Is there something you need him for?"
"It's like this, I'm a student at first middle school, I just started today, my uncle told me to find him," Tang Yue explained, and then asked, "Uncle, do you know where my uncle went? Or who he might have gone out with?"
"It seems to be someone surnamed Wang, they've been together everyday recently," the waiter said uncertainly.
Tang Yue's expression changed. If her memory was correct, it was this person surnamed Wang who had tricked her uncle out of the money he had saved up for his marriage. Not only that, but her uncle had also borrowed a lot of money from people in the village, saying that he would return it with interest after making money.
Her uncle, who had hoped to make a big profit, ended up losing everything. When her uncle went to the person to discuss the matter, the person reneged on his word.
Naturally, her uncle refused to let it go and ended up fighting with the person.
