Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1052 - 3: I’m Just Lazy, Not Stupid

Returning from the police station in a wheelchair, Wang Yunxiao treated the brothers to a restaurant meal.

These days, the brothers are not really concerned about whether their big brother will go solo. Over the past two years, big brother has been nurturing and pulling everyone forward with all his might. In everyone’s heart, it’s clear that in terms of skills, big brother is top-notch formidable.

They themselves are just dragging him back.

They are all men with spines; there’s no reason they can’t fend for themselves without big brother.

Despite the sentimentality, there was more joy.

Only Little Gourd cried his eyes out.

As for big brother getting married, everyone has been prepared for it. They’ve been calling her sister-in-law for so long, now it’s just a formality.

Everyone is more concerned about Dumpling getting married.

Previously, Dumpling met an older unmarried woman, who is Zhang Huan, the forewoman from the textile mill.

She is indeed a bit older, but you can’t help it if Dumpling has a thing for it.

Plus, the other party has a straightforward personality, so naturally, things got settled quickly.

Now they’re just waiting for Dumpling to graduate, so they can get their marriage certificate.

"How are you going to support her? Not finishing high school?"

Wang Yunxiao couldn’t help but ask Dumpling.

The girl’s side didn’t ask for much—given her age, it would be unreasonable to demand a dowry.

Dumpling actually isn’t short of money; he earns dozens of yuan per month at the police station, and it’s a secure job that many people envy.

Day-to-day living expenses are more than enough, but buying a house is a different matter.

You can’t get married and have no new house for the two of you, right? Sleep naked on the street?

"Director Qin said in a couple of years the bureau will allocate houses to solve the residence issue for families."

Youtiao explained on the side: "Sister Zhang’s family has a house; Dumpling can make do for a while."

"That’s not right. Without a house, we’re basically working for Boss Mu for nothing, aren’t we?"

Living in the girl’s family house would be entering by the back door.

His brother Scar Wang finding an older woman and entering by the back door would be a joke if spread around. How would he establish himself in the Jianghu world?

Wang Yunxiao immediately decided: "I’ll solve the housing issue for you. I’ll ask your sister-in-law to get you a place."

"That’s not right, big brother! That’s a separate issue, let me handle it myself. You don’t have to worry about me."

Talking about his own wife, Dumpling blushed and stuttered, but when it came to the house issue, he was uncharacteristically firm.

Big brother is also getting engaged.

He couldn’t care less how many gossipers and snobs are watching from the sidelines.

Hanging out, eating, and fighting doesn’t matter, but at this critical juncture, you want big brother to ask his wife to get you a house?

Dumpling doesn’t have such thick skin.

"Big brother, don’t worry about me. Zhang Huan and I have agreed to rent a place first, save up some money, then buy it. Actually, she’s not short of money; buying a house isn’t that troublesome."

When the textile mill laid off workers, Zhang Huan and her group of female workers received substantial severance pay. Wang Yunxiao didn’t know the exact amount, but Cui Xiaoying had told him that as long as they didn’t spend recklessly, it would be enough for their livelihood for the rest of their lives.

Several of the female workers pooled their money to take over that garment shop precisely using that money.

"Big brother, you know I’m not the studying type; with my grades, graduating is barely possible. Continuing with high school... while Zhang Huan also encouraged me to keep studying, saying she’d support me... but with you going away, I think there’s no point in me continuing in school."

Dumpling is self-aware.

He’s not strong academically; he’s a drag. Now he’s able to manage because of his brothers’ support, essentially just making up the numbers.

If Wang Yunxiao stayed and continued leading them to strive, he would naturally not complain and would do whatever asked.

But now that big brother is leaving, Dumpling feels there’s no point in holding on to this job.

Everyone has their own aspirations.

Some like to take on challenges, enjoy striving, and are driven.

Some prefer a peaceful life with wife, children, and a warm hearth.

"What are your plans then?"

"I want to contract the school cafeteria."

Now, Dumpling has already more or less contracted half of the school’s cafeteria.

Other ordinary students have lower meal standards, while Wang Yunxiao and his group need to cultivate and physically exert themselves, so only eating potatoes and cabbage could starve them, hence Dumpling has taken charge of a large pot at the cafeteria, cooking meat dishes specially.

Some students who don’t lack money, like the siblings of the Tang Family and the gluttons of the Wang Family, would come to eat at this stall.

The new campus will be operational in the second half of the year, and with the new cafeteria, maybe to Principal Zhou it seems like a waste of talent—he painstakingly cultivates young students, yet they’re uninterested in advancement and resort to such menial tasks—contracting a cafeteria, something any person could do, why send a middle-schooler to handle the big pot?

Yet for Dumpling, this is actually a pretty decent choice.

"What about the others? Anyone else not planning to continue studying?"

Wang Yunxiao looked up at the other brothers.

He was aware of his brothers’ abilities; they were fearless in fights but would fall asleep in a heartbeat when studying. Their grades were generally poor, hovering around the passing line.

If it weren’t for Chen Yan, the class monitor, keeping watch every day, at least half would have been lighting up the red lights.

Eryang was the first to raise his hand and said, "Big brother, I don’t want to study anymore; working at the police station is pretty good."

"Are you stupid?"

Before Wang Yunxiao could say anything, it was Guozi who slapped the back of his head: "Without an education, you’ll eventually be eliminated!"

All the brothers turned their heads.

These words coming from anyone else would be normal, but from Guozi, it sounded especially bizarre.

After all, you’re the one who turns the desk into a bed every time you’re in class!

"Why are you looking at me?"

Guozi rolled his eyes: "School’s great; you can do whatever you want. As long as the principal doesn’t kick me out, I’ll stick my butt here. Who cares about the grades? Isn’t getting a diploma sweet in the end?"

Something’s not right, very off.

Wang Yunxiao exchanged a glance with Youtiao.

What has possessed Guozi?

Youtiao shrugged, indicating he had no clue.

Wang Yunxiao turned to look at Little Gourd again.

Little Gourd, with reddened eyes from crying, ignored him.

"What, can’t I use my brain?"

Guozi snorted coldly: "With Wang Yunxiao gone, I’m your big brother now, any objections?"

Absolutely not.

Everyone knows the only reason Guozi isn’t the leader of this small gang is because he didn’t win against Wang Yunxiao in a one-on-one match back then.

But besides Wang Yunxiao, no one else could beat him.

This guy has a bad habit of being lazy.

Not being the leader, he’s content to be an enforcer, and doesn’t care about anything.

Youtiao is smart, so he doesn’t bother thinking, sleeping through classes.

However, among all the brothers, only he and Youtiao can cultivate in two different Dharma Gates.

Guozi picked up his wine cup and said to Wang Yunxiao, "Go without worry, from now on, I’ll take care of them; you don’t need to fret!"
