Chapter 641: Chapter 642 Sister Like Mother 59_1

Huang Lina had played outside for the entire day, and by the time she got home, she learned from the villagers’ chatter just how outstanding Huang Man’s college entrance exam results were, and she was astonished.

"What? She, she actually scored first place in the city?"

Huang Xin was dumbfounded too, "Second in the entire province?"

Even though both of them thought Huang Man should leave for studies abroad sooner rather than later, they didn’t expect Huang Man could achieve such incredible results.

"Impossible." Huang Lina quickly recovered, full of disbelief, "She, she couldn’t possibly have scored that well."

"Could it be a case of inflating the scores?" Yes, that must be it, the thought of Huang Man managing to achieve such impressive results made Huang Lina’s mood sour.

The onlookers who watched her act almost insane scoffed, "Just because you inflate your scores, you think everyone else does the same."

"Rest assured, Huang Man didn’t need to check, a reporter came to interview her."

At this point, a few neighbors remembered something important, "Right, will we be able to read about it in the newspaper tomorrow?"

"I’m going to buy a newspaper."

The fact that a reporter had come to interview Huang Man twisted Huang Lina’s face with jealousy. Just how could someone like her even agree to an interview?

Huang Lina truly wasn’t happy. With a glum expression, she headed back to her room. When the neighbors saw her sullen face, no one was inclined to indulge her.

"Such an unlucky face. I’ve always said, out of the Huang family, only Huang Man is lucky."

"Indeed, she’s going to be sold." Someone curled their lip, "As for the future, well..."

"I’m not being sold," Huang Lina retorted angrily, "I’m working at a nightclub."

She found these ignorant fools unbearable for suggesting she was being sold.

"We’re the fools, but if you weren’t selling yourself, how come you’ve been seen carrying shopping bags in and out on these recent days?"

Huang Lina never made efforts to conceal her comings and goings. Many had seen and wondered. How could a girl, whose family didn’t give her money, spend so lavishly if she wasn’t earning it that way?

Hearing the discussions outside, Huang Man felt quite amused within the house.

In a previous life, they often used this tactic to provoke and undermine the original soul, didn’t they? Now, without her even taking the field, the neighbors had begun to take shots for her.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Lina charged inside, and upon seeing Huang Man standing under the eave, she wanted to make a sarcastic remark. However, remembering someone’s strength from before, she dared not to.

She could only rush into the house with her belongings. Fine, she knew better than to provoke this person.

When Huang Xin entered the yard and saw Huang Man, he greeted her, "Sis, congratulations."

Huang Man graciously accepted, "Thank you."

Huang Xin remembered something that an older Huang family member had mentioned, "With such good exam results, we should treat guests."

"No need for that, no need to invite guests. Our family is not well-off,"

"And I don’t have money either."

"We have money at home." Huang Xin wouldn’t let Huang Man pay for this; otherwise, how could they get the neighbors and relatives to contribute?

Money at home? Huang Man didn’t believe Huang Xin didn’t get her drift, "What I mean is, if the family insists on hosting guests, they should count the expenses under my name."

"Any gift money received should be yours." Huang Man was not a fool; she had quickly figured it out.

Walking to the doorway, addressing the people still discussing outside, "You all know about my family’s situation."

"It’s not easy for you to earn money, and I’m busy earning money too."

"So I won’t be inviting guests. If my family insists on having guests, it has nothing to do with me."

"Of course, if they really do invite guests, you can come empty-handed to eat, because I won’t be getting any gift money."

"It’s my mom who wants to make a profit."

Humph, she’s cut off their path completely, making it impossible for them to profit from this situation.

Huang Xin knew Huang Man was difficult to talk to, but he didn’t expect her to be so excessive.

After scoring such good results, wasn’t it normal to throw a big feast? It just so happened that they had used a lot of Dad’s compensation money, which could be replenished this way.

Huang Xin glared at Huang Man, huffing, "Sis, how can you be like this."

"No choice, I can’t compliment the way you guys operate."

"Don’t meddle in my affairs, and I won’t meddle in yours."

"Keep to your own boundaries, don’t cross the line." Huang Man stared at Huang Xin.

"The reason I didn’t tell you I did well on the test is that I knew, once the results were good, you’d use it as a way to make money."

"Huang Xin, I know you’re smart. You should know how to choose."

"After all, in this matter, you’re the biggest beneficiary, so it’s only right that I teach you a harsh lesson."

"Tell me, how should I teach you a lesson?" Huang Man gazed at Huang Xin nonstop, scaring him considerably.

"You, you, you..." Huang Xin swallowed hard, "If you really dare to hurt me, I, I will call the police."

"Hurt you?" Huang Man laughed, "I’m not an idiot. I wouldn’t let my record get tainted with a criminal record."

"But I will indeed discipline you with breakfast, dinner, and late-night snacks."

"Rest assured, I’ll control it well. You just need to take a short break and then you’ll be fine."

Hmph, did she really think of injuring him? Doesn’t she understand that she wouldn’t do something that stupid?

Sometimes, a slow torment is the most terrifying, keeping him in a state where he can’t live comfortably nor find a way out.

"Do you think if you report this, anyone would take it seriously?"

"The reason for disciplining you is because you don’t study well, and you even want to hang out at nightclubs as a hoodlum."

"And you want to drag a girl into it too. Tell me, do you think anyone would take it seriously?"

"Not only would they not take it seriously, they might even think I’m doing a good job disciplining you."

Huang Xin was truly stunned by Huang Man’s words, "I, I understand now."

Forget it, he really couldn’t withstand being beaten three times a day. It wasn’t worth it for just a bit of gift money. He was someone who aimed to make big money.

"That’s better. Really, if I don’t discipline you properly, you’ll think I’m someone you can push around."

"By the way, you need to get rid of the grass in the yard today. Use the same standard as Mom did that day."

There was no denying the vitality of the weeds; they were incredibly resilient. Zhao Mei had cleared it so well that day, yet it didn’t take long for them to spring up again.

Ah? Huang Xin certainly knew about the day Zhao Mei had weeded the yard. Back then, he even mocked her, being suppressed by Huang Man.

And now, surprisingly, it was his turn. He felt all sorts of unhappiness.

"Of course, you can choose not to do it."

"It’s just a beating." Li Na picked up a stick, and Huang Xin immediately cowered; he wasn’t confident he could escape from Huang Man’s grasp.

With no other choice, Huang Xin could only set to work grudgingly.

Huang Lina, sulking, knew Huang Xin was scheming against Huang Man, but she didn’t expect Huang Man to counterattack.

Although they were now in a similar plight, being able to witness Huang Xin’s misfortune was something she couldn’t miss.

Huang Lina leaned at the window, watching Huang Xin working. He turned his head and saw her act, which only angered him.

But he didn’t curse, as she was someone he didn’t want to offend either.

Taking a deep breath, he let it go. Work was priority. Turning around, he left Huang Lina with nothing but his silhouette to watch.
