When has Li Sumei ever been mistreated by a junior?

She immediately sneered, "What does her incompetence have to do with me? She has no money!"

Seeing Ding Haowen's increasingly grim expression, Li Yuzhu quickly asked, "Haowen, how is Mom?"

Ding Haowen's expression softened slightly.

"I will have to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair."

Upon hearing how serious it was, Li Sumei's expression changed, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Is it that serious?"

Li Yuzhu hadn't expected it to be so serious; she was counting on Li Shufang to help take care of the child in the future.

Now things are really messed up. Ding Haowen is unemployed and his mother-in-law is paralyzed. What will they do in the future?

Seeing Li Yuzhu's pale face, Ding Haowen's tone became even colder.

"Now you realize what's going to happen? Ha..."

He was indifferent and even wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks.

Li Yuzhu quietly reached out and pinched the sleeping baby next to her.

When the baby feels pain, it immediately bursts into tears.

Ding Haowen regained some of his senses. He stared at his son on the bed, took a deep breath, and calmed the anger in his heart.

Seeing that Ding Haowen's gaze softened, Li Yuzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yuzhu whispered to her mother, "Mom, you go out first. I want to talk to Haowen alone."

Li Sumei snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Seeing that Li Sumei was still giving him the cold shoulder, Ding Haowen's face darkened again.

Li Yuzhu quickly and weakly sat up, reaching out her fair hand to stroke Ding Haowen.

"Haowen... don't be angry."

Ding Haowen sighed, "Yuzhu, it's not that I'm angry. You know what kind of person your mother is. If she doesn't keep her mouth shut, she'll get into trouble sooner or later because of it."

Li Yuzhu tugged at the corners of her mouth and revealed a smile.

"Haowen, talk to my mom privately. Is her condition really that serious? Will she have to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life?"

This also annoyed Ding Haowen, and he grunted in response.

"Yes, the most important thing right now is that we don't have enough money for hospitalization."

Li Yuzhu's eyes flickered. "Haowen, I still have a little over 100 yuan that I've saved up. You can take it first. I'll ask my mom to lend me some more..."

Seeing how sensible Li Yuzhu was, Ding Haowen felt much better.

He gave a curt "hmm" and took the money Li Yuzhu handed him, then turned to leave.

Li Yuzhu felt a lump in her throat. Didn't Ding Haowen care about her childbirth situation at all?

She quickly called out to Ding Haowen.

"Haowen, wait a moment."

Ding Haowen turned around curiously and frowned when he saw that Li Yuzhu seemed to be in some discomfort.

"What's wrong?"

"Haowen, why don't you go and continue working with Brother Chen... After working for a while and making some money, we can open our own shop and make money, what do you think?"

Ding Haowen only did one job and then quit.

Upon hearing Li Yuzhu mention this, Ding Haowen's expression immediately changed.

"Don't mention this again."

Li Yuzhu remained silent, but she knew that Ding Haowen was tempted.

If it had been her who brought it up before, Ding Haowen would definitely have scolded her.

Ding Haowen has no money, no job, and his mother is in trouble. How will he make a living if he doesn't earn money?

The thought of giving Ding Haowen over a hundred yuan of her own money made Li Yuzhu feel a pang of pain in her heart.

She clutched her chest, heartbroken.

It's drizzling in Haicheng city today.

Chen Jiayi stood under the eaves and looked up at the sky outside.

The weather in Haicheng is still a bit cold, even though it's just the beginning of spring.

The weather was already cold, and then it started to drizzle.

For a moment, Chen Jiayi was in a daze and thought of her maternal grandparents.

She stood silently for a while, her mind drifting back to the college entrance examination two years later.

There are still more than two years until the college entrance examination is reinstated.

During this period, she needs to focus on her studies.

After passing the college entrance examination and getting into university, Chen Jiayi will continue her studies.

After finishing the book, it seems that I will also have to do volunteer work in the countryside for a period of time.

Chen Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief, and the breath formed a thin layer of fog on the window.

Actually, given Chen Jiayi's current status, she doesn't need to take the college entrance examination.

But Chen Jiayi knew that if a woman possessed enormous wealth but lacked the ability to match it, that wealth would flow to someone else.

Whether it was to improve himself, for Wang Yu, or for the sake of his pride, he did it all.

Chen Jiayi believes that women should improve themselves.

She sat down calmly and continued working on the problems.

Nowadays, Chen Jiayi is not only learning English, but also German, Japanese and Russian.

Of course, the main subjects I studied were Chinese and English, with only slight exposure to other languages.

Chen Jiayi is now so engrossed in her studies that she forgets to eat and sleep.

Actually, she was someone who easily lost focus and wandered off while copying things down.

But within six months, she forced herself to change this bad habit.

Nowadays, I've developed the habit of sticking to what I learn, unless it's because my body needs to replenish energy or sleep.

Chen Jiayi can keep learning.

Lan Meixuan knocked on the door. Seeing how focused Chen Jiayi was, she smiled and put down the fruit and hot milk.

"Jiayi, have some fruit and rest for a while."

Chen Jiayi looked up at Lan Meixuan and saw that Lan Meixuan was smiling, so something good must have happened.

She put down her pen and looked at Lan Meixuan with curiosity.

"Mom, why are you so happy?"

Lan Meixuan curled her lips, "Do you still remember that piece of land that the government offered for bidding six months ago?"

Chen Jiayi quickly searched her memory and found that she vaguely remembered it, so she nodded.

“Everyone wants a piece of this land and to make a profit. But your father has decided to use this land to build a Hope Primary School.”

Lan Meixuan is a teacher, and she was naturally very happy to hear that her husband had decided to establish a school.

Chen Jiayi paused for a moment, then immediately praised her father.

"Dad's idea is great!"

She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, the Chen family had also built a Hope Primary School.

This primary school later became the only school in the city center because the land behind it became part of the city center.

Chen Qiming had been extremely busy lately because of this land.

Everyone wants a piece of the pie, sure! Now that it's being built into a Hope Primary School, even though we haven't gotten a piece of the pie yet, you'll have to invest first, right? If you don't want to invest, then you can leave this land.

Chen Jiayi exclaimed, "That's the mindset for making money!"

"By the way, what's your opinion of Shen Jialiang?"

Lan Meixuan looked at Chen Jiayi thoughtfully. Although her daughter had been divorced, she did not want her daughter to marry into another family, but Lan Meixuan still wanted her daughter to be happy.

Chen Jiayi was taken aback. "What...what opinion?"

Lan Meixuan exclaimed, "Oh dear, so it's about whether there's any romantic feeling between men and women?"

Chen Jiayi's lips twitched. "No."

She only thought Shen Jialiang was a very impressive professor.

Upon hearing this, Lan Meixuan sighed.

"Don't you feel anything? Jiayi, actually Xiao Shen is quite a good catch, and a nice person too. You could try dating him."

Lan Meixuan smiled and said to Chen Jiayi.

"Don't rush to refuse. You may not know why Xiao Shen is called Professor Shen at such a young age."
