Chapter 165 Zhao Xinran collapsed and squatted crying

Liu Guilan looked at her daughter, who seemed somewhat dejected, but her tone remained firm. "If you haven't thought about it, don't even think about it. We support you no matter what decision you make. But there's one thing you must remember: don't fight yourself. Follow your heart and don't let yourself down."

Su Li smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I'm not someone who will suffer any loss."

Liu Guilan held her hand and said earnestly, "Mom knows you're a determined child. Even though you've suffered losses and fallen down before, you shouldn't feel inferior to others because of these things. My daughter is beautiful, educated, and has a good job. I don't know how many people she is better than."

Her mother's praise brought a smile back to Su Li's face. "Even if I'm not good-looking or well-educated, you and my dad will still say I'm the best."

Liu Guilan smiled at her daughter and patted her on the back of her hand. "Little girl, you are the apple of your father's and my eye. No matter what you are like, you are the best in our hearts."

Su Li didn't say anything. All the favoritism from her parents was her greatest happiness. She hugged her mother and snuggled in her arms, but her heart was still a little blocked.

Liu Guilan lowered her eyes and looked at her, patted her on the back gently, with a smile that contained a hint of worry.

In her heart, Fu Jinzhou's conditions were undoubtedly very good, and if she were asked to choose a son-in-law, she would definitely be happy.

But he also knew that no matter how good his daughter was, she was not worthy of him in the eyes of others.

Rather than marrying up to a man of high status and being ignored by her husband's family, it is better to marry someone with average conditions who can treat her well.

When men and women get married, they always pay attention to matching their social status.

She didn't want her daughter to suffer any more injustice!

…

On the other side, the place where Zhao Xinran and Liu Cui'e, mother and daughter, lived was extremely lively.

"Get out of my house, you bitch."

The landlord was a burly middle-aged woman who worked in a food factory. She had little education but was full of energy.

She usually doesn't read newspapers, and if it hadn't been widely spread in their factory, she really wouldn't have known that the ungrateful bitch was living in her house.

Fortunately, she felt sorry for this little bitch and introduced her to a temporary job.

The landlady was spitting everywhere, her face flushed red with anger, as if she wanted to eat someone.

"Bah! Bah! You two black-hearted bastards, you still have the nerve to live in my house? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourselves!"

As she spoke, she rushed into the yard, picked up the big broom leaning against the corner, and hit Zhao Xinran on the head.

"Ouch! What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Liu Cui'e couldn't stop her.

Zhao Xinran was caught off guard and was slapped back repeatedly, with his arms and face burning with pain.

She screamed and dodged, but she couldn't avoid the broom that was falling like raindrops.

When Liu Cui'e saw her daughter being beaten, she felt so distressed that she rushed over and hugged her daughter.

"Auntie, if you have anything to say, please talk it over nicely. Why are you hitting me right here?"

The landlady pushed her away and spat at her.

"Get out! You unscrupulous mother and daughter, get out of my house!"

She cursed as she rushed into the house and threw their things out.

Zhao Xinran's beautiful clothes, face cream, and pots and pans were all thrown out like garbage.

"Don't throw it away! Don't throw it away! This is my stuff!"

Zhao Xinran cried and wanted to pick it up, but was pushed to the ground by the landlady.

The skin on her face was scratched, and now tears were streaming down her face, stinging her painfully.

Liu Cui'e didn't care about anything else and knelt on the ground begging.

"Sister, please don't chase us away at this time of night. We really have nowhere to go..."

"I don't care if you have a place to stay, just die outside. That teacher Su was so good to you, and you actually raised such a shameless slut. I was so sorry for her before, I didn't expect her to be so dirty. Get out of here now, and don't dirty my yard."

The landlady pointed at their noses and cursed them without mercy.

"People like you are a waste of food even if you're still alive!"

"I tell you, even if you die here today, I won't let you stay here any longer!"

"Looking at you makes me sick!"

She had embarrassed herself in front of her coworkers today, all accusing her of shielding a slut. And this slut was the same person who had caused them to not receive their wages for the entire year before last.

The more the aunt thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she looked at Zhao Xinran, the more unlucky she felt.

The commotion here quickly attracted the surrounding neighbors.

Everyone gathered around, looking around and talking at once.

"You're still a college student, this is really a disgrace to the title of college student."

"I guess he was looking for someone rich and powerful, but unfortunately he didn't find the right one. I heard that man died, and his father was also arrested a few days ago."

"Maybe she's just a jinx, bringing bad luck to everyone she's with."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Zhao Xinran lowered his head and trembled.

Liu Cui'e knelt on the ground and said, "It's not what you said. Their going in has nothing to do with my daughter."

Unfortunately, people around her don't buy her account.

"I heard that she seduced her teacher's man and ended up killing her teacher. What a vixen!"

"Bah! People like this deserve to be thrown into a pig cage!"

"The world is truly changing, and people's hearts are no longer as they used to be..."

Listening to the pointing and talking of people around him, Zhao Xinran's face turned pale and blue.

She bit her lips so hard that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

She never thought that she would end up like this.

In the past, she was an envied college student and the treasure in Shao Ting'an's hand.

But now, she is like a rat crossing the street, and everyone is shouting and beating her.

"Get out! Get out now!"

The landlady became more and more angry as she scolded, and finally she started pushing the mother and daughter.

The surrounding neighbors also joined in the commotion and criticized their evil deeds.

"People like this don't deserve to live in this world!"

"Get out of our place and don't dirty our eyes!"

"You ungrateful bastard!"

Amidst the crowd's curses, Zhao Xinran and Liu Cui'e left in a miserable state.

They carried their luggage and walked aimlessly on the street.

The March wind was still chilly, making them shiver.

Zhao Xinran couldn't hold it in any longer and squatted on the side of the road, breaking down and crying.

"Mom, what should we do now? Where else can we go?"

Liu Cui'e felt heartbroken when she saw her daughter crying.

She hugged her daughter and comforted her softly.

"Xinran, don't be afraid. Mom is here. Let's think of a way out. There will always be a way out."

But she also knew in her heart that they were now at their wit's end.

Shao Ting'an can no longer be relied upon, and Su Li is the only hope left in the city.

Su Li, how could you possibly still be willing to care about their life or death?

The mother and daughter were like two homeless stray dogs, abandoned by the whole world.

Zhao Xinran cried for a long time before gradually stopping.

She raised her head and looked around blankly.

Suddenly, she remembered a place.

"Mom, I know a place we can go."

"where?"

"It's... it's the place where I had Su Li beaten before. There's an abandoned house there."

When Liu Cui'e heard this, her frown immediately relaxed. "Then we'll just stay there for the night."

Zhao Xinran immediately shook his head again. "That place is dirty and smelly, uninhabitable. There's not even a door."

"It's better than sleeping on the streets, isn't it?" Liu Cui'e said, her voice tinged with rebuke. "You're really acting like a spoiled city girl now."

Zhao Xinran stopped talking. He had no other choice but to find a place to stay. Otherwise, it would be really shabby to carry bedding and pots on his back.

The mother and daughter supported each other and walked towards the abandoned house.

It was almost dawn by then, and the dilapidated house was filled with a musty and possibly foul smell.

Zhao Xinran completely collapsed and squatted aside crying loudly.
