Chapter 2477: Girls Must Learn to Protect Themselves
Ning Shu moved the jar into the closet so that the jar’s movement wouldn’t be so conspicuous. What if Mother Hu was cleaning up the room and swept out the jar from the bottom of the bed? If she opened it, she’d see snakes, toads, and all sorts of insect corpses.
She would probably think that her daughter had gone crazy.
As it happened, Mother Hu complained about another thing during dinner. “Someone threw so many paper shreds in the hallway. I’ve no idea who it is. I guess it was probably some kid.”
Ning Shu took a sip of the soup. Some kid?
Luo Jiang was already 28 years old, so he wasn’t a child. Though to a certain extent, he was indeed a manchild.
He couldn’t survive on his own and didn’t even have a source of income. Instead, he leeched off his parents to live. On top of that, he still had a massive, bursting ego.
Ning Shu obediently confessed, “It was Luo Jiang, the guy from next door. He brought his calculus notebook over, but I didn’t want it, so he tore it up in anger.”
“Don’t associate with this kind of people,” Father Hu immediately said. “Putting it nicely, he’s juvenile and full of energy. Putting it badly, he’s childish and immature. He’s pretty much a bum. What if he does something to you?
“After graduating college, he just lazed around at home without a conscience. How could Old Luo’s small salary be enough to support all of them?” Father Hu looked at Ning Shu. “You’re a girl. Don’t associate with that kind of person.
“Yes, we live in an open society, and men and women are equal now. This means that lots of new ideas have sprouted up, but not everything has been accepted. If something happens, you are the one who will be hurt. Girls must learn to protect themselves.”
Keeping oneself clean had nothing to do with being conservative. It wasn’t about overpowering men, either, in that respect. Even if something did happen, one needed to face it with a calm heart.
The physiological structure had already determined that the girls would be the ones hurt.
Ning Shu nodded very obediently. “I know, Dad.”
Hu Duo had gotten pregnant in the original storyline. Eventually, she fell down the stairs in the hallway and got a miscarriage.
Holy, the amount of blood that she lost…
It was Hu Duo who suffered all the pain. All Luo Jiang did was stand by the hospital bed and said sorry.
Ning Shu served Father Hu and Mother Hu each a bowl of rice.
Having taken two days off because of a cold, Ning Shu went to school early the next day.
Hu Duo’s university was highly selective, and it was close to home. Back then, Hu Duo stayed up every night to study so she’d get to come home every day. Indeed, she finally got accepted to this university.
She had only studied there for two years. Then, her brain went mush, and she dropped out of school.
She had gotten pregnant out of wedlock and then miscarried. Her boyfriend was also a prodigal playboy. She had died without being able to get married, too.
Her life was, in short, a tragedy.
Although Hu Duo sometimes realized how weird some things were, she became mentally inept whenever she saw Luo Jiang, to the point that she felt no hesitations or regrets at all.
Ning Shu wondered if all women who had an intimate relationship with Luo Jiang would end up being deadly in love with him.
Ning Shu rubbed her face. She was speechless in bold capital letters. If one’s mental strength was too weak, one would be easily affected and defeated by the halo.
Ning Shu went downstairs to the carport to pick up her bicycle, only to see Luo Jiang holding the bicycle handle. He was wearing a white shirt, looking like a clean boy from a distance.

It was like she was being haunted…
Ning Shu walked into the carport. Luo Jiang took out his car key and said, “Hu Duo, I’ll take you to school.”
“I don’t want to go with you,” Ning Shu refused. “I can ride the bike myself. I don’t need you to take me to school.
“If you have time to send me to school, you should write a resume and apply for a job. Your family relies on your father to support the whole family. Your mother’s health isn’t great, yet you don’t know how to share your family’s burden,” Ning Shu berated.
She poked wherever it hurt.
Luo Jiang had a massive ego. He couldn’t stand the reprimand and preaching of others.
When Luo Jiang heard what Ning Shu said, his face suddenly turned ugly, but he endured it.
Ning Shu pushed the bicycle and prepared to go.
However, Luo Jiang stretched out his hand and grabbed the back seat of Ning Shu’s bicycle.
