1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 54 Oh, Feng Jiayou, please behave yourself (Please read on)
"Tell me! Feng Jiayou, tell me, what's the matter with this article written by Cha Jianying?"

"Don't tell me you're lying to me, saying that this time, Cha Jianying published two articles under two pseudonyms, and that all of them were approved and published by Yanjing Literature!"

Feng's mother walked out with murderous intent, pointed at the copy of Yanjing Literature that had just fallen over on the page of "That Birch Forest" and asked.

"Hehe, mom, you are so awesome..."

Feng Jiayou, who was racking her brains to come up with an excuse, was immediately amused by her mother's amazing prophecy!
What an accurate guess!
At that time, it was true that two manuscripts were approved at once, but it was not Cha Jianying as she said, but her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin.

That’s Lao Xu, the author of “The Shepherd” that her mother has been thinking about so much!

"Don't be so frivolous, Feng Jiayou, tell me clearly, do you know how much trouble you caused me to have at work because of this article, and how much I was ridiculed by others?"

"I don't even have the face to go to work tomorrow. Do you know that, you debt collector?!"

As she spoke, Feng's mother couldn't hold back her tears and they just streamed down her face!

It was so embarrassing today that she was really embarrassed and went to her grandma's house!
"Mom! Why are you crying again?!" Feng Jiayou was panicked. She was not afraid of her mother taking the feather duster, but she was really afraid of her mother wiping her tears!

She quickly went forward and hugged her mother, trying her best to comfort her, "Mom, we really didn't mean to hide it from you! I know you're good to us, and what we did this time was indeed not very good, but it's not something that people will laugh at!"

"Besides, isn't this a good thing? You should be proud of it!? How did you suffer such a great injustice? Do you still have the face to go to work tomorrow?"

"Then Xuemin and I will go with you tomorrow to make you proud, okay?"

Didn't they try desperately to find Lao Xu, the author of "The Horse Wrangler" in October, and even asked him to come to his house to discuss the manuscript in person?
But what is the situation now! ?

Since everyone knows that the shepherd is your son-in-law Cheng Xuemin, why are you embarrassed and ridiculed?
"Get off!"

The debt collector's initial apology was quite sincere. She really shouldn't have kept it secret from her as a mother.

If you want to say that Zha Jianying is not the author of The Horse Shepherd, just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush and even promising to help them commission articles in October?

But I felt something was not right after I heard it, Feng Jiayou, are you sick?!

Your mother was laughed at at work, and the debt collector actually said it was a good thing and that you should be proud of it?

Feng's mother was so angry that she pushed her away and said angrily: "Feng Jiayou, you tell me what I should be proud of?!"

"Should I be proud that you helped me get a manuscript from the author of The Horse Wrangler that's better than The Horse Wrangler?"

"You're so proud of yourself for fooling everyone in our October editorial department, right?"

"You guys still want to come to my workplace to give me face? Thank you so much!"

"Ah?! Mom, you still don't know?!"

This confused Feng Jiayou again. Hadn't her crime been exposed, so her mother wanted to beat her with a feather duster?
"I know!"

"Feng Jiayou, didn't you just say it yourself? Your classmate Zha Jianying had two manuscripts accepted this time. One is "That Piece of Birch Forest", and the other one is even more amazing!"

"It's on the front page of Yanjing Literature. Right now, the entire city of Yanjing is discussing your classmate's novel 'The Horse Herder'. Even your father is going to recommend it and have it translated into a foreign language for publication overseas!"

"Isn't it amazing? You, Feng Jiayou, have such an amazing classmate. If you, Feng Jiayou, are proud, you should also make your mother proud, right?!"

After expressing her contempt in one breath, Feng's mother sat back on the stone pier and took a deep breath.

"What are you looking at? Is it really that beautiful?"

And I saw this damned girl concentrating on the manuscript brought back by the debt collector. Didn’t she see that they were arguing so loudly?
He was able to keep calm and read his manuscript without saying a word.

Feng's mother was so angry that she overturned the manuscript in Feng's father's hand and started to complain.

"What are you doing..." The sudden overturning of the book startled Feng's father, who was immersed in reading. He instinctively couldn't wait to grab it back, because he still had half a chapter left to read.

And this article is really too... bold!

Yes, it is too bold!
He was so bold that even this old scholar, who had just returned to the city and resumed his work, had his hands shaking.

Seeing his lover's murderous expression, he instinctively retracted his hand, and when he looked at Feng Jiayou again, he asked anxiously:
"Jiayou, is this manuscript really the new work of your classmate Cha Jianying, the author of The Shepherd, Lao Xu?"

These are two completely different writing styles, and compared to the previous "The Horse Wrangler", this one seems more profound and bold!

Father Feng even suspected that someone at Yan University was secretly using his silly daughter to publish such a bold article.

No wonder her mother was so angry that she took out the feather duster!
"Dad! Yes! This manuscript was just written by Lao Xu, the author of The Shepherd! He was originally planning to submit it to Yanjing Literature, but I helped my mom hijack it!"

"Feng Jiayou, are you still going to talk nonsense?!"

He was still telling lies. Feng's mother was so angry that she was speechless.

"Mom, I really didn't lie! This manuscript is really a new manuscript by Lao Xu, the author of The Wrangler. If I lie to you again, I swear I will..."

Feng Jiayou wanted to swear to the heavens when her sister-in-law Feng Jiamo came in from outside and saw the three of them gathered around the stone table in the yard. She shouted, "Mom, Dad, and sister, what are you doing in the yard?! I have good news for you. Boss Cheng's grades are out!" But no one paid any attention to her, so she couldn't help but come forward out of curiosity.

"Isn't this the handwriting of Big Boss Cheng? What? Big Boss Cheng is also following my sister's example and wants to write articles and publish them to earn royalties!?"

It was the sister-in-law who had a sharp eye. She came over and took a quick look, and revealed the secret in one sentence, and even made fun of her brother-in-law, Lao Cheng!
Just like Mr. Cheng...

Yes!
Boss Cheng really has something up his sleeve. The results of their repeater class’s transfer exam are out, and they got first place!
The score was as high as over 470 points, which was more than 100 points higher than the second place!

Now there is a sensation over at Yanda High School!
Everyone is saying that next year's top scorer in the national college entrance examination will be none other than Mr. Cheng!

She couldn't wait to bring such exciting news home, but her mom, dad and sister were indifferent and had no reaction at all.

They all gathered around that scribbled manuscript and kept reading it. Is it really that good?! ?

Mr. Cheng is indeed good at taking exams, but isn’t Chinese his weak point? How good can he be at writing articles?
"Your brother-in-law's handwriting?!"

"This manuscript was written by Xuemin?!"

After hearing the little daughter's shouting, Feng's mother and father were instantly surprised and asked, with Feng's mother's face showing more confusion.

"Yes! I can tell it's the handwriting of Big Boss Cheng at a glance!" Feng Jiamo pecked his little head and asked in confusion, "Sister, Big Boss Cheng has started writing articles now!? How is his writing?! Can he publish it and earn royalties?!"

"If Mr. Cheng earns a small fortune from his writings, should he give me the ten dollars he gave me last time?! Originally, he said he was going to buy me a pen, but Mom deducted all of it from my living expenses!"

Thinking of the ten dollars that she had cheated out of Old Cheng last time, Feng Jiamo is still brooding over it, and is thinking about cheating Old Cheng again one day when her sister and mother are not at home.

"Feng Jiayou, stop right there. Where are you going?! Aren't you going to explain this manuscript to us clearly?"

When Feng Jiamo recognized the handwriting as her brother-in-law's, Feng Jiayou knew something was wrong and prepared to run away.

But she was stopped by her mother!

"Ah... Jiamo, you just said that your brother-in-law's results are out? How did your brother-in-law do in the exam?"

The score won’t be bad, so they didn’t react very much when they heard it just now.

Now Feng Jiayou wants to shift the topic to this!
"More than 470 points, directly crushing the first place!" Feng Jiamo said domineeringly.

"English is calculated at the same rate as the college entrance exam standard, at 10%!"

Fearing that everyone didn’t understand, Feng Jiamo added another sentence.

"Don't interrupt me, go back to your room and do your homework!"

Directly crushed, first place? !

Feng's mother was also stunned at first, but compared to this undoubted score, what on earth was going on with the manuscript in her hand? !
There is also a debt collector who is so determined that he almost swears that this manuscript was newly written by Lao Xu, the author of The Horse Shepherd!
But her sister Feng Jiamo could tell at a glance that the handwriting was that of her brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin.

Isn’t this... too messy!?

Don’t you, Feng Jiayou, want to give me a proper explanation?
After driving away the annoying Feng Jiamo, he turned to Feng Jiayou and asked, "Feng Jiayou, was this manuscript written by Xuemin? You couldn't get the manuscript of the author of The Shepherd, so you used Xuemin's manuscript to fool me?"

"My dear, is this really the manuscript written by Xuemin?" Father Feng was also shocked. He didn't care about the score, nor did he care whether he was a horse shepherd or not.

What he is most concerned about now is whether this extremely bold article was written by his son-in-law Cheng Xuemin?

"Xuemin, come out for a moment, we have something to ask you!"

Father Feng became even more anxious. Without waiting for Feng Jiayou to explain, he shouted towards the east wing!
"Dad, Mom! What's wrong with you? Isn't it just that Old Cheng wrote a manuscript?! If you think it can pass, then pass it. If it can't pass, then do what I did and return it to him for revision!"

"Get out of the way first!"

"Go back to your room!"

"You talk too much!"

However, she didn't expect that Feng's mother, father and her two sisters all told her to shut up and get out of the way.

"I... Big Boss Cheng, you came just in time. What's going on with them? They all look like they've taken drugs!"

"What did I do to offend anyone in Feng's family?" Seeing Cheng Xuemin coming out of the house, he couldn't help but shout.

"Dad! Mom! Jiayou and I really didn't want to hide this from our family..." Cheng Xuemin came out angrily and winked at Feng Jiayou, ready to tell everything in order to seek leniency!
But before he could finish, Feng Jiayou rushed to say, "Mom and Dad, let me do the talking! Xuemin is a bit tongue-tied and may not be able to explain it clearly. Let me do the talking and we'll be honest and confess everything!"

Oh shit, woman, you have no moral principles! Are you trying to pass on the blame? !
After being interrupted by Feng Jiayou, Cheng Xuemin, who had lost the initiative, was dumbfounded. She was even more desperate and waited for Feng Jiayou to shift the blame and put all the responsibility on him so that she could continue to be her filial daughter.
