Chapter 199: Deliberately Left Alone

Zhong Zhiyang immediately supported her nervously, and his anger also subsided a little. "I have failed you. You can punish me however you want, but the children are innocent. Let me take care of you, okay?"

Jiang Nianyue didn't say anything, but just let him help her into the house.

Seeing that her daughter did not refuse, Jiang Guifang did not try to stop Zhong Zhiyang.

Zhong Zhiyang squatted beside her and took out a cloth bag from his coat. "Take this money and use it first. Believe me, I won't let you live the hard life you had before."

This money was saved when he worked for Ruan Qing before, and he basically didn't spend it.

In addition, during the Chinese New Year, his grandmother and several elders gave him a lot of New Year's money, which he saved up, totaling more than 100 yuan.

Jiang Nianyue hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it.

This action also acknowledged that she was willing to let Zhong Zhiyang take care of her.

"It's useless for you to just promise. Write me an IOU." Jiang Nianyue said, "Since you want to recognize this child, you have to be responsible for all his expenses."

Zhong Zhiyang was a little confused, "Are you afraid that I will lie to you?"

Jiang Nianyue was very sober. "We can't afford to marry into your Zhong family. Do you think my child will have to beg your wife for money to live in the future?"

"No, I won't marry anyone else."

Zhong Zhiyang's voice was heavy, as if he had made up his mind long ago.

For the sake of his grandmother, he would not marry Jiang Nianyue. As long as he had a child, even if he did not marry, he would have accomplished his mission.

The person he most wanted to marry had been hidden in his memories.

No matter if it is someone else or Jiang Nianyue in front of him, he will never marry again.

After saying this, Jiang Nianyue felt a little uncomfortable, but she remained indifferent on the surface, "It's useless for you to just talk, it has to be written down in black and white."

"Okay, if you want it, I'll give it to you."

Zhong Zhiyang went to her room to find paper and pen, and wrote down the content in no time. He didn't know exactly how much it would cost to raise a child.

But from the birth of the child, he promised to pay 30 yuan in alimony every month until the child reached adulthood.

Thirty yuan was already a lot, so Jiang Nianyue asked tentatively, "Is it you who paid for it, or is it your Zhong family?"

She was very curious about the Zhong family's attitude towards this child.

Zhong Zhiyang patted his chest and said, "Of course I will pay for it myself. I will work hard to make money."

Jiang Nianyue's mouth froze, and she felt a tightness in her chest, feeling very uncomfortable. "Don't your grandma and the others know about this?"

"Know."

Zhong Zhiyang told her truthfully, "But this is my child, and it is my responsibility to raise him..."

"Zhong Zhiyang, don't you know your own worth? How are you going to support him?" Jiang Nianyue interrupted him directly. She thought that even if the Zhong family didn't like her, they would not make their lives difficult for the sake of the child.

But if the Zhong family really doesn’t care, what’s the point of the IOU written by Zhong Zhiyang?

He is a waste after leaving the Zhong family!

Zhong Zhiyang looked at the dissatisfied woman in front of him in disbelief, "Am I so useless in your eyes?"

As if realizing that she had gone too far, Jiang Nianyue tried to calm down, "Zhong Zhiyang, raising a child is really not as easy as you think. You don't have a job now, how do you think you can raise a child?"

Zhong Zhiyang stuffed the IOU into her palm and said, "I have my own way. I know you and your mother have always looked down on me, but people can't stay in the same place forever. I will definitely do what I said!"

After saying this, Zhong Zhiyang did not plan to stay here for long, and turned around to leave. "I will come to see you every week in the future. If you have any urgent matters, you can ask someone to go to the compound to give me a message."

After a pause, he added, "Take care of the children, and yourself."

Jiang Nianyue stood up and watched his back gradually blending into the night, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Li Guixiang walked in, "Why did he leave?"

Jiang Nianyue came back to her senses and looked down at the IOU in her hand, "Mom, I think he has changed a lot."

"No man will ever change. As long as he is willing to support you and the child, you don't have to worry so much. Besides, you already have an emotional foundation. After a long time, he will naturally remember the past and continue to treat you well."

Li Guixiang saw a cloth bag on the table. She opened it and looked at it with greed in her eyes. "You are quite generous. You know to give you money first."

“He’s never been mean to me.”

Jiang Nianyue almost blurted out these words.

Before they eloped, Zhong Zhiyang had plenty of money and was willing to spend ten yuan of his pocket money on her.

Even though it was difficult for him to learn how to make money later, he would still spend all the money he had on her. If he had any dollar, he would be willing to spend it on her.

But that money... is really too little.

She didn't want to live a hard life and really couldn't endure it for a day.

Jiang Guifang disagreed, "Don't be confused! When you went to him to make peace, what did he do? He just gave you a bag of rice and sent you away. He didn't even care about your life!"

"But I also broke his heart. He clearly loved me, but we humiliated and scolded him... If he had been more capable, I wouldn't have abandoned him at that time."

Jiang Nianyue felt it was a pity. Although she approached Zhong Zhiyang with a purpose, she had enjoyed being held in his hands for so long. Now he was only thinking about the child and didn't care about her at all.

How could she not feel regretful when she felt this kind of gap?

"You have to wake up. Men are worth our attention only if they are useful. What's the difference between a useless man and trash?"

Jiang Guifang took most of the money in her bag and stuffed the remaining two big unity notes into Jiang Nianyue's pocket. "Okay, don't think too much. Get ready to eat."

Jiang Nianyue grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, what are you going to do with so much money?"

Jiang Guifang couldn't wait to stuff the money into her pocket, her eyes full of excitement, "I haven't been active for a long time. With this money, I'm going to win back all the money I lost!"

"Do you really have to lose all that money again?"

Jiang Nianyue was furious. They had some savings before, but Jiang Guifang took them to play cards and lost them all.

At that time, there were rumors that a rainstorm was coming. Not to mention the rainstorm, they were afraid that they would starve to death before the rainstorm came.

She had no choice but to find out that Zhong Zhiyang had returned home and was distributing supplies in the suburbs with Ruan Qing. She thought about finding him to reconcile, but he ruthlessly rejected her and gave her a bag of rice.

That was the first time she felt her dignity being trampled and crushed under the feet of a man.

So when she met Zhong Zhiyang in the hospital, she clearly wanted to get back together with him, but she deliberately pretended to draw a line between them.

Deliberately leaving him alone and giving him the cold shoulder.
