Since Zhang Li left like that, a decade has passed, and many people in the siheyuan have been discussing whether she will never return.
Over the years, there have often been reports that students who studied abroad on public funds never returned after completing their studies.
Everyone thus suspects that Zhang Li's situation is probably the same, especially since one can earn more abroad than domestically.
Some also speculate that the reason Zhang Li never returned after going abroad must be because Zhang Yu and his wife were too harsh on her. Despite being a grown woman, they supposedly dominated her salary and prevented her from getting married.
This kind of unreliable talk surprisingly gains popularity.
When Zhou Min hears such rumors again, she truly gets angry. "I've said already, Sister Xiao Li is working over there, even in the United Nations."
"But why don't they believe that?" Zhou Min thinks and gets angry, swinging her fists in the air.
