Chapter 209 - 201: Wild Picnic (Part 6)
"I remember someone once said, ’Money is a person’s courage,’ and that does make quite a bit of sense," Wu Xiuyu said with a laugh.
"Actually, I’m more of the opinion that knowledge changes fate," Feng Sijia glanced at Lu Yun again, "Look at Lu Yun’s family, so wealthy, and yet she ended up coming to B University to study. You guys don’t know, my aunt always boasts in front of my mom about how it’s useless for me to attend university in Capital City, claiming that the job I’ll get after graduation and the salary I’ll earn will probably not be as good as what my cousin gets. It makes my mom not even want to respond to her boasting.
Now she’s run out of things to say. Even if the job I get assigned after graduation is just as bad as she said, and not as good as my cousin’s, at least I was in the same class as Lu Yun, a ’big shot.’ If she dares to belittle me again, isn’t she implicitly insulting Lu Yun too? Hmph, I’d like to see if she still has the guts to gossip."
"That’s just jealousy on your aunt’s part," Wu Xiuyu burst into laughter.
"Exactly, she’s actually just jealous of my mom, which is why she belittles me," Feng Sijia said indignantly, "She barely knows a few big characters herself and has been a factory worker her whole life, while my cousin was never as good at studying as I was and barely managed to finish high school. She’s always felt inferior to my mom and finally, my cousin gave her a tiny bit of capital to brag about. But then I got into B University, and how could she feel anything but unbalanced inside?
But she’s an elder, and my mom doesn’t like to lower herself to argue, so what can I do? Aside from liking to boast about her son, my aunt doesn’t really have any other faults."
Wu Xiuyu nodded in agreement, her laughter seemed quite mean-spirited, "All mothers like to brag about their children, that’s not really a big problem. Your aunt is just unlucky, trying to show off only to end up being even more devastated."
"Hahaha, Xiuyu, I feel much better hearing you say that..." Feng Sijia also clutched her stomach, unable to stop laughing, and Wu Xiuyu joined her in raucous laughter.
