Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17 - 17: Got Hit

Tang Yue raised her eyes and retorted, "Isn't it the time to study now?"

"But..." Xu Zhenzhen was at a loss for words and then said, "But does it have to be so excessively?"

"I like reading," Tang Yue shut Xu Zhenzhen down with a single sentence. After observing Xu Zhenzhen these past few days, she realized Xu Zhenzhen's writing was the same as in her previous life. She harbored some suspicions but was not completely certain. She just thought to herself, if no one offends me, I will not offend anyone.

If Xu Zhenzhen truly harbored any ill intentions in this life, she would definitely not show any mercy.

Tang Yue restrained her thoughts and refocused her mind on studying.

In the blink of an eye, it was Friday. This week, Tang Yue did not return home and chose to go back next weekend instead.

Going home once would cost one yuan for the round-trip fare.

Now, both she and Xiao Jun needed to pay for tuition and meals. She had previously undergone surgery and still owed money, and Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian in the village still needed to economize.

She would save 50 cents wherever she could.

If it were not for the need to go home bi-weekly to collect money for meals, she would wish to go home only once a month.

Fortunately, in the dormitory, neither Wu Xianhua nor Yang Qingqing had gone home, so with three people there, she had company.

In Qianjin Village, just after school as Tang Jun returned to the village, he saw Xu Zhenzhen coming back and stretched his neck looking out.

"Are you looking for Xiao Yue?" Xu Zhenzhen asked in surprise, complaining, "I don't know what's with your sister. She's not coming home for the weekend and just stays in the dormitory."

"My sister is doing it to save money for the family," Tang Jun retorted and then turned away.

Xu Zhenzhen stared blankly at the closed door, tilting her head, thinking about Tang Yue and Tang Jun, the siblings who usually started bickering upon seeing each other.

And wasn't Tang Jun always calling her Tang Yue?

Why is he calling her sister now?

Xu Zhenzhen felt utterly baffled, but having walked from the town to the village, her legs almost felt like they were no longer hers, so she didn't ponder it any further.

The next morning, Tang Yue had two steamed buns before heading to Fusheng Restaurant.

This time, Tang Yue took the main road.

Just arriving at Fusheng Restaurant, Tang Yue saw Tang Mingli with a face as swollen as a steamed bun.

"Uncle?" Tang Yue looked uncertainly at the obviously beaten face, really Tang Mingli?

"Xiao Yue?" Upon seeing Tang Yue, Tang Mingli immediately enthusiastically grabbed her hand and said, "Xiao Yue, thank goodness you reminded me last time, otherwise your uncle would have suffered a huge loss!"

Tang Mingli, as if finding a confidant, told Tang Yue everything that happened afterward.

It turned out, after suspecting something, Tang Mingli inquired around only to find out that Wang Gui was a swindler. He said to invest US$ 500, but in the end, that US$ 500 would have been gone without a trace!

US$ 500, at the time, was all of Tang Mingli's possessions, including the US$ 500 he had braved his face to borrow.

If it weren't for Tang Yue specifically bringing it up that day, he would probably have gone to pay the money and then dreamt of making a fortune.

Tang Yue was silent, no wonder Tang Mingli had such a hard life in her previous existence. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
