Chapter 129 Fine, I won't study anymore.
"They went to Kyoto? I have to go too!" Qin Yanlin said, about to leave.
"Dad! Dad! You can't go!" Wen Xin and Wen Yu grabbed Qin Yanlin's arms on either side.
"Why can't I go? What if your mother runs away if I don't go?" Qin Yanlin stamped his foot.
Wen Yu was speechless for a moment, but he held onto Qin Yanlin tightly.
Wenxin's eyes darted around as she said, "Dad, have you thought about why Mom is so angry? Have you thought carefully about what she said that day?"
Qin Yanlin looked at Wen Xin.
"Dad, Mom thinks you lack a sense of responsibility and family values. Doesn't your running off to them now just prove that?"
When you and Mom divorced, Wenyu and I firmly chose to stay with you.
When you were unconscious, Wen Yu and I took care of you. When the house was taken away, Wen Yu and I brought you to beg Mom to take you in on a cart.
Think about it, when you wake up, is there any sore spot on your body? Is your body and bed clean and tidy?
Wen Yu and I made all of this!
Dad, if you want to leave, then go ahead!
At worst, I'll quit school and go work to help Wenyu save up for tuition!
"Go, we won't stop you!"
As Wenxin spoke, she let go of Wenyu's hand, nudged him, and gave him a wink.
She discovered that Qin Yanlin seemed to not remember who Tian Guoqiang was, so she decided to take a gamble and bet that Qin Yanlin had forgotten some things.
The two siblings have been very united in their struggle for survival lately, and Wen Yu immediately understands Wen Xin's subtle hints.
She immediately let go and said, "Dad, no wonder Mom doesn't want you. I despise you for being like this. You should leave. We'll rely on ourselves. At worst, my sister and I will just stop going to school!"
The siblings spoke in unison, emphasizing how they had never abandoned Qin Yanlin and had taken such good care of him.
They didn't mention a word about how their family fortune was all with Qin Yanlin, which is why they followed him.
Without even asking Deng Xiuzhen to take them in, Qin Yanlin was so smelly that onlookers were three miles away. It was Deng Xiuzhen who said that if they were not clean and tidy, or had even a slight odor, they should be driven away.
Not to mention that in order to go out and have fun, and to avoid taking care of Qin Yanlin, she almost completely ruined Wenjing.
Qin Yanlin genuinely didn't know any of this. Wen Xin's words stunned him. Oh right? And these two are with him? They'll be ungrateful in the future, but they're still children now and need to go to school.
I have to support their schooling, right?
Qin Yanlin was persuaded by Wen Xin to stay in Pucheng to work and earn tuition fees for them.
After experiencing this ordeal, Wenxin and Wenyu realized that if they didn't study hard, they would not only have nowhere to live but also no food. So they stopped being impulsive and doing foolish things, and devoted themselves to their studies.
Both had a good academic foundation, so they picked up their studies quickly, and with their hard work, they both got into prestigious universities.
This is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.
After Deng Xiuzhen and Wenjing arrived in Kyoto, Deng Xiuzhen went to the real estate agency and asked Wenjing to wait in the lobby. She went inside, found Qian Leming, and asked him to arrange a room for her, telling everyone that she had rented it herself.
The house was quickly arranged, and not only was the house arranged, but the rent was also settled with Deng Xiuzhen, adding more than 100,000 yuan to Deng Xiuzhen's assets.
Qian Leming took Deng Xiuzhen to see the house and gave a detailed introduction to the tenants in the courtyard.
He arranged a relatively simple courtyard house for Deng Xiuzhen, the smallest of her four courtyard houses. Located in Dongsi Hutong, the main gate faces due south. The house's design and construction are simple, a pure brick and wood structure, with wood as the main body, making it lightweight and earthquake-resistant. The overall color scheme of the building is grayish-blue, giving it a simple feel. The courtyard is not large, but it is full of greenery, mainly consisting of noble flowers and trees such as crabapple, peony, and magnolia.
Qian Leming said that although the house is small, the environment is good and the residents are relatively simple. There are eight households in the courtyard, including Deng Xiuzhen's. The two families renting the north side are young couples who have come to Beijing from other places. They either leave early and return late or stay indoors all day. The two families on the east side are from the suburbs of Beijing and do business nearby. They usually go out in the morning and come back in the evening. The family on the west side is also from Beijing. They lost money in business and sold their own courtyard house. All seven members of the family are renting here. The family on the south side is a family of three. Deng Xiuzhen lives in the other two rooms.
When Deng Xiuzhen arrived, the doors and windows of the house to the north were closed, and she didn't know if anyone was inside.
One of the two households on the east side had already left, while the other was about to go out. Upon seeing Qian Leming, they said, "Manager Qian, are you bringing people to rent a room?" They glanced at Deng Xiuzhen and Wen Jing before leaving.
The door to the south house was also closed, but the house to the west was bustling with activity. Upon seeing Deng Xiuzhen, a woman in her thirties greeted her warmly: "Are you here to rent a room?"
Deng Xiuzhen nodded in agreement.
The other person didn't say anything more and went to do laundry.
Upon opening the door, there are three rooms inside. The living room is at the entrance, the bedroom is on the left, and the kitchen is straight ahead. The kitchen is about the same size as the rooms, so it must have been converted from a large room.
There's a door to the left of the kitchen, leading to an open space of about 20 square meters, where two crabapple trees are planted. If you look out the bedroom window, you can see the crabapple blossoms.
There is a long bench by the bedroom window, with a sunshade on top.
"You can plant some flowers or vegetables here, it's all up to you."
"However, vegetables are not easy to grow in Kyoto, so we have to put in a lot of effort," Qian Leming explained.
Deng Xiuzhen was quite satisfied with the house, especially the small space, which was like a small courtyard.
"Hey, where are you from? What are you doing in Kyoto? Are you just the two of you? Where are your family?" As soon as Qian Leming left, the woman from the west household ran over and asked a series of questions.
"We came from a small county town, mainly for our children's education. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Deng Xiuzhen didn't go into details, but she understood the principle of only revealing a third of what she knew to others.
"Is this the girl? How old is she? Is she here to go to university?"
"Hello, Auntie!" Wenjing greeted politely.
The woman nodded, smiled, and asked, "Which university did you apply to? My son also took the college entrance exam this year and applied to Kyoto Normal University."
“My daughter’s studies are average, but she longs for Kyoto, so she applied to a school there. Are you a local from Kyoto?” Deng Xiuzhen didn’t say which school Wenjing applied to.
She didn't know what Kyoto Normal University was, but it was certainly not as good as Kyoto or Kyoka Universities.
If someone comes up to you and mentions their school, it's because they think their child did well on the exam. If someone else did better than their son, they'd probably feel uncomfortable.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't want to cause trouble, so she just brushed it off.
"Yes, we're locals from Kyoto. I'll show you around sometime. Kyoto has so many tourist attractions and lots of unique local snacks. Stay in Kyoto for a while, and I guarantee you won't want to go back..."
