Chapter 220: Girls Can Also Study Hard and Change Their Fate

Chapter 220: Girls Can Also Work Hard in School and Change Their Fate

"No chance!" Su He immediately refused with absolute certainty.

Come on, half the reason she fell for Fu Tinghua was because of his face.

As if remembering something funny, Fu Tinghua couldn’t help but chuckle.

"I was just joking," he said, ruffling Su He’s hair with a smile.

Su He rolled her eyes but quickly relented to reassure him.

"Don’t worry. If Qin Meixuan dares to come after me, playing the homewrecker, I’ll teach her a lesson."

But then, as if reconsidering, she hesitated and added, "Though… if I go after her, will it affect your work?"

"No," Fu Tinghua replied without hesitation.

"I have plenty of backup plans. You don’t need to fear her just because she’s the Dean’s daughter."

"Good, that’s all I needed to hear. Don’t worry, I won’t misunderstand you. Now eat up—I still need to pack leftovers for my dad."

With that, Su He went outside to call the three kids in for dinner.

Seeing this, Fu Tinghua naturally picked up bowls and dished out the rice.

After the meal, Su He and Fu Tinghua took the three kids for a stroll to the shop.

The moment Su Shiming saw his son-in-law, his face broke into a grin.

"Ting Hua, have you eaten yet?" he asked.

"Yes, Dad. Su He packed food to-go for you and Mom," Fu Tinghua replied, handing over the bag.

"Ah, wonderful. Your mom, she gets lazy when she’s home alone—never bothers to cook, just grabs whatever’s handy," Su Shiming said with a laugh.

After exchanging a few more words, Su Shiming hugged his two grandsons, said goodbye to Su He and the others, and pedaled off on his bicycle.

Once Su Shiming left, Su He quickly shooed Fu Yanju home as well.

"Go on, sis, eat before it’s cold."

It was already autumn, and the weather was getting chillier every day.

Mornings and evenings now required a jacket.

Fu Yanju glanced worriedly at the three kids and asked, "Should they come back with me?"

It was the after-work rush, and locals swinging by after work would stop by to shop, so things could get a little busy.

"Don’t worry, sis. Ting Hua and I got this covered," Su He reassured her with a smile.

"Alright, then I’ll head back now."

Finally, Fu Yanju left.

Truth be told, ever since moving to the city with Su He and the others, her and Wan Er’s lives had changed completely.

Now, Fu Yanju encountered all kinds of folks every day—both men and women.

Seeing the female doctors near the hospital or female employees from government units, Fu Yanju realized for the first time that women didn’t have to stay at home just to bear children and live under their husbands’ control.

Daughters too could study hard, change their fate, and find good jobs to support themselves.

She vowed to work hard alongside Su He to earn money and ensure Wan Er could go to school, so she wouldn’t repeat her own fate.

Every time she thought about this, she felt even more grateful to Su He.

Having lived with Su He for some time now, she felt Su He was truly perfect in every aspect.

Her brother was truly blessed to have found such a wife—generous, intelligent, sharp-minded, and beautiful.

She took care of the family while also earning money. Her brother must have accumulated blessings from eight hundred lifetimes to marry her.

If not for her luck in meeting Su He, who had saved her, she would probably have been driven to death through torment by the Chen family by now.

Not long after Fu Yanju left, Old Yu and his son arrived.

“Oh, Brother Yu, to what do we owe this visit?” Miss Su greeted them with a smile.

Yu Xu and Yu Xi came bearing gifts for Su He, but she didn’t accept them.

“What’s this for? Why bring gifts?” Miss Su couldn’t help but ask.

“Thank you, Miss Su. I don’t even know how to express my gratitude. You’ve given us a lifeline,” Yu Xu said.

Yu Xi also stood beside his father, looking at Miss Su with admiration.

Just then, Fu Tinghua came out and said to Miss Su, who was standing at the cashier counter, “I’ll mind the counter. You can talk with them outside.”

Hearing this, Miss Su immediately led Old Yu and his son to sit on the chairs outside.

“Please take these back. I have everything I need here,” Miss Su politely declined.

“We came to thank you, Miss Su, for introducing business to us,” Yu Xu said gratefully.

Recently, Yu Xu had been so busy that he hadn’t had time to visit Miss Su’s shop.

That was because people kept coming to him for shop or house renovations. When he asked how they knew where he lived or that he did renovations, they said the lady who runs the supermarket had recommended him and given them his address.

Now, his contracts for renovations were booked up for the next three months.

Who would have thought that someone like him with disabilities could have a constant flow of work? Who else should he thank if not Miss Su?

Miss Su smiled and said, “The credit is yours. It’s because you did such a perfect job renovating my shop that others noticed, and your business naturally followed. I only played a supporting role.”

“No, no, it’s all thanks to you, Miss Su. You gave us the opportunity.

Besides, the renovation style and design plans were all yours. I merely executed your vision.

With your shop as my showcase of your work, people sought me out.

Not to mention, even though your shop just opened and you’ve been so busy, you still took the time to give people my address,” Yu Xu said gratefully.

Miss Su was almost flustered by the praise but still reminded him, “Brother Yu, when signing contracts, go over the terms thoroughly before agreeing. Don’t get scammed.”

“I understand,” Yu Xu gave a solemn nod.

Back then, I didn't read the contract properly and trusted the wrong person. I broke my leg while working, so I didn't get a single penny in compensation.

The longtime friend I trusted so much back then turned out to be worse than some client he'd just met. For the first time, Yu Xu clearly realized the cost of misjudging someone's character.

That person somehow found out that many people had been coming to him for renovations recently and even showed up at his doorstep, hoping to rekindle their partnership. Yu Xu kicked him out.

He’d rather sign a contract and work with just anyone than collaborate with that two-faced snake.

If only his leg had received timely treatment back then, he wouldn’t be crippled now.

"Miss Su, has Fu-jie gone back?"

Yu Xu looked around but didn’t see Fu Yanju, unable to hide his disappointment.

"Yes, she went home to eat and rest." Su He maintained her composure, pretending not to notice Yu Xu’s disappointed expression.

"Alright, then we’ll head back too. The gifts we bought aren't worth much, just a small token of our gratitude. We hope you’ll accept them, Miss Su."

Since they had gone to such lengths, Su He couldn’t refuse. Accepting them would at least put his mind at ease.

"Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony."

Seeing that Su He was willing to accept the gifts, Yu Xu couldn’t hide his delight.
