Chapter 10

Hit! Who taught you these bad habits?

Old Lady Yang would repay the three brothers in the same way she was treated behind their backs.

However, when the coward Yang Jinwei was bullied, he would obediently agree to everything and then go to report it, specifically to Tang Chenggang and Qi Guojun.

These two had been in the military and were not the kind of parents who would indulge their children!

Because of Yang Jinwei, they had no shortage of beatings.

But the three brothers were stubborn; the more they were hit, the more they would make Yang Jinwei uncomfortable. Over time, they really became enemies.

Recalling those childhood memories, Qi Lei was very indignant, "Just wait and see, the best is yet to come!"

Tang Yi and Wu Ning were taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Qi Lei smiled, "You'll see a good show soon."

He then revealed a secret that he could not possibly know in this timeline.

The two were shocked.

Tang Yi's mouth dropped open, "That sharp-nosed, monkey-faced... and Zheng Xiaoyan? You're making this up, right?"

Zheng Xiaoyan was the child from Aunt Wang's house.

Wu Ning also looked as if he had been hit by a dog, "Damn, this is unjust! He's even dating early!?"

"Can't stand it, I have to find a chance to beat him up!"

He, Wu Xiaojian, was still single!

Qi Lei just smiled at this.

In matters of love, Yang Jinwei was indeed a step ahead. He and Zheng Xiaoyan had been dating since junior high, but they kept it very secret.

Later, the two became classmates with Qi Lei.

Yes, classmates in vocational high school.

Because of their early romance, they had no interest in studying in junior high, and their high school entrance exam results were terrible, so they ended up in vocational high school with Qi Lei.

That's why Qi Lei said a good show was coming soon.

In their sophomore year, Yang Jinwei got Zheng Xiaoyan pregnant, causing a big stir. This hidden three-year relationship was finally revealed to Qi Lei.

Later, to avoid punishment from the school, Yang Jinwei had his family pull strings and claimed that Zheng Xiaoyan had initiated it, that she had seduced him.

Old Lady Yang even went to the school, crying and making a scene, calling Zheng Xiaoyan a fox spirit who had seduced her son Jinwei, which prevented him from being expelled.

Zheng Xiaoyan, unable to defend herself, was too ashamed to stay at school and dropped out.

Although it wasn't Qi Lei's business, it made him feel as if he had swallowed a fly.

Moreover, the enmity between the two families went beyond this.

Three years later, during the grain warehouse reform, Yang Jinwei's father, Yang Dajiang, squeezed out Qi Lei's mother, Guo Lihua, from her position as deputy director of the storage department and became the deputy general manager of the Shangbei branch company.

This directly led to Guo Lihua's despair, and she retired early due to illness before she was fifty.

So, when Qi Lei saw Old Lady Yang, he definitely wouldn't have a good face.

Want to fight? He had also trained in this, and he had never lost a microphone battle.

....

"Damn, so uncomfortable!"

Qi Lei felt satisfied after his taunt, but Wu Xiaojian was still holding in his anger!

Having learned such a big secret, he thought he needed to feel good too!

He nudged Tang Yi, "What do you think about Yang Jinwei dating someone?"

Tang Xiao Yi, the student, seriously considered it and said with a serious face, "My thought is, he must be made to suffer for me to feel better!"

Wu Xiaojian gave a thumbs up, "Great minds think alike!"

Speaking, the two of them went to the yard with their guitars, basking in the sun and singing sad songs.

Qi Lei, with his legs on the desk, joined in with their tune.

After a while, there was a sound of a door opening from the next yard, and the guitar music suddenly paused.

Wu Xiaojian listened by the wall and confirmed that Old Lady Yang and Aunt Wang had returned from Tang Yi's house.

Tang Yi, not reacting, stared at Wu Ning, not knowing what he was up to.

Suddenly, Wu Xiaojian said, "Hey? Have you heard? Xiao Wei is famous at No. 3 High School!"

Tang Yi was confused, looking at Wu Ning, then the wall, and finally Qi Lei, who was watching the show inside, and immediately understood.

He shouted, "What have you heard? About Xiao Wei and Zheng Yan dating?"

Wu Ning, "Oh my! You know about it? It must have been a big deal!"

Tang Yi, "How could I not know? My friends at No. 3 High School said they were even kissing in the bike shed, and many people saw it! They said it was very exciting!"

Wu Ning, "I don't think this is true, Xiao Wei is such a good student!"

Tang Yi, "It's true! More true than gold!"

Qi Lei: "......"

At that moment, in the other yard.

Old Lady Yang, with her hands behind her back, looked at Aunt Wang and the wall, every wrinkle on her old face trembling.

As for Aunt Wang, her palms were sweating.

Her daughter was the one who got hurt!

Besides, if you liked Tang Yi, or even Wu Ning, at least their families were good. Why did you set your sights on Yang Jinwei?

Her lips turned purple, "Old Lady Yang... Old Lady Yang! This can't be! Everyone knows, but we were kept in the dark?"

Old Lady Yang was also stunned, "Xiao Wei and Yan are dating? I didn't see it! Don't listen to those two rascals, they're lying."

Saying this, Old Lady Yang's eyes bulged, "I'll go find him, this is slander!"

But Aunt Wang was even more anxious, "Find who? They were very clear! Everyone knows, except us!"

"I'm telling you, if your Jinwei touches my Yan, I'll never let it go!"

Old Lady Yang, "Don't be hasty..."

"Stop your nonsense! How can I not be hasty?"

And so, they started fighting.

....

Hearing the commotion from the other yard, Wu Ning and Tang Yi clutched their stomachs and returned to the house, gloating.

Wu Xiaojian: "Feels good!"

Tang Xiao Yi: "So reporting is this satisfying?"

Qi Lei, both laughing and crying, looked at the two, "You're asking for it? They'll definitely come to fight you soon."

But Wu Xiaojian glared, "Hey? Speak clearly, it's not my fault! You brought it up first, and the news was spread by the crazy one. I didn't say anything. If Old Lady Yang comes, don't blame me."

He washed his hands of it.

Qi Lei and Tang Yi were speechless, "Scoundrel!"

In the end, Old Lady Yang didn't come to settle accounts with the three of them; she didn't have the time.

First, she had to deal with Aunt Wang, and then Yang Jinwei came home after his exams.

Unfortunately, he came back with Zheng Yan, and they were caught red-handed.

This only made Old Lady Yang and Aunt Wang believe it even more.

Although the two denied it to the death, it caused a big commotion.

Not long after, Qi Guojun rode his 1980s-era Happy 250 into the yard, with Guo Lihua following with a basket of vegetables.

Seeing the three boys in the yard, Guo Lihua changed her clothes and, for the first time, went into the kitchen.

Tang Yi threw his guitar, "Godmother, what's for dinner?"

Guo Lihua, "Eggplant."

"Oh!"

Tang Yi and Wu Ning hated eggplant the most and turned to leave to check what was for dinner at Tang Yi's house.

As soon as they left, Qi Guojun came into the house.

Seeing Qi Lei with his guitar, he picked up another one from the bed, "Play a piece, let's see how you've improved."

Qi Lei chuckled, "I almost forgot how to play."

He strummed a few chords, and Qi Guojun sat and played along with him.

But after a few chords, Qi Guojun took the lead.

The three boys had learned guitar from Qi Guojun, and in fact, all of Qi Lei's guitars were made by Qi Guojun, not bought.

The two played for a while, and Qi Guojun, who hadn't touched a guitar in a long time, was thoroughly enjoying it.

And under his guidance, Qi Lei played better and better.

Finally, after a set of practice pieces, Qi Guojun covered the strings, signaling to stop.

He then cautiously asked, "So... how did the exam go?"

...
