Chapter 51: Chapter 51: First Place in the Written Exam
Amidst the crowded people, Su Xiaoxiao saw Zhang Dongmei’s flushed face from the squeezing and immediately changed direction, struggling to move towards her.
Zhang Dongmei was desperately squeezing forward and had just squeezed into the second row when someone yanked the back of her collar.
"Who the hell is pulling me?"
She angrily turned around and came face-to-face with Su Xiaoxiao’s half-smiling face, the fire in her heart was instantly doused with cold water.
Her heart skipped a beat: "Why... why are you pulling me?"
Su Xiaoxiao’s smile didn’t reach her eyes: "Why do you think? I’m here to collect my bicycle."
"Bicycle? What bicycle? Didn’t we agree that if I scored better at the department store, then the bet counts as your win?"
Zhang Dongmei said this with a guilty conscience, because she knew very well that was not what they had agreed upon before.
Who could have foreseen that Su Xiaoxiao had such stupid luck and went to the Meat Processing Plant as an instructor.
But so what? The bicycle is hers, and whatever she says goes.
Besides, the Su Family owes her family, this brat has no choice but to agree.
Thinking about this, her confidence grew.
Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow at her words: "Fine, you can change the bet’s terms, but if I win again this time, you have to additionally compensate me twenty yuan."
Zhang Dongmei instinctively wanted to refute, why should she give this brat twenty yuan?
But upon reconsideration, Su Xiaoxiao is such a poor student, it’s impossible for her to do better than me, especially since she’s only studied half the exam materials, it’s even more impossible.
By then, she would not only win the bet, but also keep the bicycle.
She immediately gritted her teeth: "Fine, twenty it is, but if you lose, you’ll give me a hundred yuan as previously agreed."
"Deal."
The two struck the deal with a slap, Zhang Dongmei confidently squeezed her way to the front of the crowd, starting from the last names on the ranking list and making her way forward. She quickly found her name, and immediately with a smug face, looked at Su Xiaoxiao: "I passed the written exam."
After speaking, she turned back to continue looking, until she had looked through the entire sheet and still didn’t see Su Xiaoxiao’s name, her heart even more triumphant.
"Su Xiaoxiao, you’ve lost, cough up the money."
Zhang Dongmei triumphantly stretched out her hand towards Su Xiaoxiao, when a voice from the crowd suddenly exclaimed: "The first place, Su Xiaoxiao, is amazing, missing only two points to score full marks."
Zhang Dongmei froze in place at the sound. How could this be? She clearly didn’t see Su Xiaoxiao’s name just now.
Thinking of something, she looked incredulously at the red paper posted on the left side.
The red paper had the names of the top ten scorers.
She looked carefully from bottom to top, her eyes fell on the first place, and her eyeballs wouldn’t turn.
How is this possible?
She rubbed her eyes, confirmed once more, and sure enough, it was Su Xiaoxiao’s name written there.
How could this happen? Zhang Dongmei fell to her butt on the ground, angrily glaring at Su Xiaoxiao: "You cheated, didn’t you? I clearly only gave you half the study material."
Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the name on the bulletin board: "I’m first place, is there any need to cheat?"
Little did Zhang Dongmei know the materials she hadn’t provided were all politics questions; Su Xiaoxiao used to be a top student, those questions were really no challenge for her.
Feeling great, Su Xiaoxiao extended her hand towards Zhang Dongmei: "Alright, now you should be convinced, hurry and give me the bicycle and money."
"I... I didn’t ride the bicycle today."
Zhang Dongmei spoke without thinking, the bicycle was something she had taken great trouble to get, how could she willingly give it to Su Xiaoxiao?
"Why don’t we bet again, this time on the interview results..."
Before she could finish, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Oh dear, isn’t that your bicycle, Dongmei? How come someone’s pushing it away?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dongmei immediately looked at where she had parked her bicycle, only to find it still securely locked in place.
"What nonsense are you talking? My bicycle..."
Halfway through speaking she suddenly realized, Su Xiaoxiao was bluffing, and her face immediately darkened.
Before she could react, Su Xiaoxiao had already snatched the handbag from her hand, fished out the bike keys, and blatantly took twenty yuan from her wallet as well.
She dangled the keys in front of Zhang Dongmei: "From now on, this bicycle is mine."
Zhang Dongmei gritted her teeth in fury but was helpless, she could only watch as Su Xiaoxiao rode away on her bicycle.
Remembering the previous agreement to meet the two sisters at the cinema entrance.
She rode over, not yet reaching the entrance, she spotted the Zhou Family sisters from afar.
"Comrade Su, you finally arrived."
Zhou Ping saw her and greeted her warmly, she wasn’t wearing a hat this time, rather had her hair neatly tied into a big braid.
Although there still wasn’t much hair, places that were originally balding had grown a layer of fine hair.
"Comrade Su, I want to buy more shampoo this time, how about thirty packs?"
Seeing her stop the bike, Zhou Ping immediately spoke.
Her best friend had the same issue after giving birth, tried out the two packs of shampoo she gave, immediately decided to ask her to bring more.
No reason not to take business that comes your way, right?
Su Xiaoxiao immediately happily took out the shampoo.
After counting thirty packs, she gave Zhou Ping an extra two packs.
"Comrade Su, this is so embarrassing? Asking you to deliver and taking advantage of you."
Zhou Ping spoke a bit shyly, suddenly thought of something and turned to take the apples Zhou Yuanyuan was carrying and handed them to her: "If you don’t mind, take these apples back to eat."
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t refuse, so she accepted them.
She happily rode the bike home, and as she reached the village entrance, she saw two familiar figures.
Isn’t that Sun Wenbing and Old Wu No. 2?
Seeing the two pulling and tugging at each other, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but feel a bit disgusted.
Could these two actually have bent together?
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t really mind such things with the same sex, in fact, those beautiful youths in comics were a pleasure to look at.
But seeing the two before her, one dark and thin like a monkey, the other greasy and soft-footed shrimp, snuggling together, made her want to gouge out her eyes, this was too revolting.
She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, hurriedly rode home.
Just at the doorstep, she met a wrinkled old face.
"Xiaoxiao girl, back already?"
Wang Chunhua smiled lovingly at her, and even warmly reached to hold her hand.
Su Xiaoxiao immediately took a wary step back, damn, could this old lady be possessed?
Why else would she look at her so fawningly?
But then came an even more startling occurrence.
