Chapter 590 Cutting the Door
“Ahem… the exam is over.”

“So how did you do in the exam?”

Hu Mengke gritted his teeth and said, “…Uh, not so good.”

Li Zhuangsheng could hear the pleading in Hu Mengke’s words, but he still pressed on, “How good is not so good?”

Hu Mengke bit her lip and stammered, “Anyway… it’s not the last one.”

“If it’s not the last one, then it’s not far off, right?”

“…Oh, it’s so annoying. It must be you who reported it!” Hu Mengke was furious. He put down the chess piece and turned to glare at Hu Mengdie.

“Your brother-in-law is not an outsider. What’s the problem if he knows?” Hu Mengdie said confidently.

“Don’t argue yet…” Li Zhuangsheng didn’t have time to care about Hu Mengdie’s change of address for him. He held Hu Mengke’s arm with one hand and said, “Your sister is not complaining to me. She is worried about you.”

“Okay, okay, I know, I know, let’s study hard!” Hu Mengke nodded quickly, “I will definitely study hard in the future!”

Li Zhuangsheng laughed: “You have words on your face now, do you know that?”

“Is there writing on my face?”

“Yes, your face is full of perfunctory.”

“Hey, brother-in-law—” Hu Mengke shook her head and acted like a spoiled child, her voice long and drawn out, “I thought you were here to call me to play, but I didn’t expect that today was the Hongmen Banquet!”

Li Zhuangsheng took a deep breath and said with a smile: “The Hongmen Banquet was Xiang Yu’s attempt to harm Liu Bang. Do you think I want to harm you?”

Hu Mengke pouted: “Then what do you want to do?”

“I just want to care about you.” Li Zhuangsheng said with a smile.

In the previous life, Hu Mengke’s problem was the easiest to solve, so after Li Zhuangsheng solved Hu Mengke’s problem this time, he didn’t care too much. But now it seems that he still has to do a good job of “after-sales” work.

Hu Mengke is too young, and I heard that he has a rather stubborn personality. Even if the original school bullying problem is solved, new problems may arise.

“Ah…” Hu Mengke sighed deeply, looking resigned to his fate, and said weakly, “Tell me, what do you want to care about?”

“I heard that you hate studying. Why is that?”

“There’s no reason, I just can’t learn it!”

“Why can’t I learn?”

“If you can’t learn, then you can’t learn!”

“If you can’t learn, what are you going to do in the future?”

“……do not know.”

Li Zhuangsheng sighed softly and said seriously, “Meng Ke, if you continue like this, you will have to go to a technical school in two years. Do you really want to go to a technical school?”

Hu Mengke remained silent.

“It seems that you don’t want to go to a technical school.” Li Zhuangsheng sighed and smiled helplessly, “So Meng Ke, what are you thinking about now? Can you tell me? Are there classmates bullying you, or are your parents pushing you too hard, or are there other reasons? We are friends, I won’t criticize you or anything, is there anything you can’t tell me?”

“I also want to study hard…”

After a long silence, Hu Mengke finally spoke slowly, his voice filled with grievance and tears, “But I just can’t understand it. Math is so difficult. I can’t understand geometry at all, and I can’t draw auxiliary lines. The teacher scolded me, saying that I was a vase and that I was a piece of crap. I’m not the only one who’s a bad student!”

“Yeah, that’s because your teacher said too much!”

Li Zhuangsheng immediately united with Hu Mengke and reached out to gently stroke her head. “Yes, she scolded me so much, in front of everyone, and even told my dad about me. My dad beat me, he only knew how to beat me!”

The more Hu Mengke spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and her tears shone more and more, until her face was covered with tears.

Li Zhuangsheng was speechless, so he walked over to Hu Mengke and patted her shoulder to comfort her. However, Hu Mengke turned around and threw herself into Li Zhuangsheng’s arms, crying even louder:
“He, he tried to chop me with a knife the day before yesterday!”

“Eh?” Li Zhuangsheng was shocked. “Your dad? Did he cut you with a knife? That’s not possible!”

Hu Mengdie explained: “What I heard was that when her father scolded her, she ran back to her room and locked the door. Her father asked her to open the door but she refused, so her father took out a knife to scare her.”

“The door was chopped into pieces!” Hu Mengke cried breathlessly.

“Ah?” Li Zhuangsheng was dumbfounded.

Although he knew that his father-in-law was a dictatorial parent, chopping the door with a knife was too cruel! He had never seen it before.

Hu Mengdie watched coldly and thought to herself, you haven’t seen it, right? Of course you haven’t seen it.

After her sophomore year of high school, her door remained broken for many years and had never been repaired.

The knife marks on the door and the broken door lock constantly reminded her of the fate of her rebellion. It was as if her head was hung on the city gate to show the world.

Until the day before Li Zhuangsheng came to visit, Hu Mengdie came back from outside and found that the whole door had been replaced. She once again had a complete door.

Hu Mengdie never said these things when she was dating Li Zhuangsheng. Just like other things that were not said before the time travel, how could such things be easily told to others?

Of course, some things can be said. Hu Mengdie originally planned to wait for a suitable opportunity, an opportunity that would make Li Zhuangsheng feel the most distressed.

“This is too…”

Li Zhuangsheng looked embarrassed. It is said that even an honest judge would find it difficult to judge family affairs, let alone him.

Although Li Zhuangsheng strongly disagreed with his ex-father-in-law’s educational policy, and even believed that the Hu sisters’ becoming like that was closely related to their family education, at this moment he didn’t know how to change other people’s family background.

If he was still Hu Mengdie’s husband, he would be able to take care of it. But now he is nothing, even a “scumbag” who plays with someone else’s daughter’s body.

Li Zhuangsheng was speechless and could only pat Hu Mengke on the back in silence.

Hu Mengke vented her emotions in Li Zhuangsheng’s arms for a long time before her crying gradually stopped.

Hu Mengdie looked puzzled. She envied Hu Mengke. At least when the other party was wronged and crying, he had a solid heart to lean on.

Moreover, Hu Mengke has a stubborn personality. Although he is young, he is much tougher than her. When his father was chopping the door with a knife, Hu Mengke was able to stiffen his neck and say, “If you have the guts, chop me to death today,” instead of being too scared to speak like Hu Mengdie did back then.

It was because of this that Hu Mengke dared to think and act. He told Hu Mengdie that he liked Li Zhuangsheng and even seduced Li Zhuangsheng. If it were Hu Mengdie, she would probably keep this feeling in her heart forever.

“Don’t be sad, I will find a way.” Li Zhuangsheng said.

“Yes, don’t cry, your brother-in-law loves you the most.” Hu Mengdie also said.

“What do you think about living on campus?” Li Zhuangsheng asked, “Is it still possible to live on campus at No. 1 Middle School?”

“Okay…” Hu Mengke said aggrievedly.

“Hu Mengdie, do you have any way to persuade your parents to let Mengke live on campus?” Li Zhuangsheng turned his head and asked.

“I can try, but even if Meng Ke lives on campus, it will probably be difficult to improve his grades.” Hu Mengdie sighed.
