Chapter 197 She held back

Yang Jingyi stood there for a long time without coming back to her senses. She stared blankly at the pieces of the test paper on the sofa, seemingly not understanding what had just happened.

Hu Chunli, who was in the kitchen, heard the noise and quickly turned off the stove. When she came out, she saw her daughter standing pitifully in front of the sofa, on which were torn test papers.

She quickly understood what had just happened.

She hurriedly wiped her hands on her apron, and went forward to hug Yang Jingyi: "It's okay, it's okay, mom will help you glue the test paper together later, it's okay!"

Yang Jingyi wanted to cry, but when she saw Hu Chunli's expression, she held back.

She knew that if she cried, her mother would cry too.

So, she held back.

Hu Chunli squatted down and picked up the test papers on the sofa one by one.

She took the tape and was about to stick it.

Yang Junying came out of the bedroom, his face gloomy: "Do you want to eat?"

Hu Chunli quickly put the test paper aside and went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes.

Yang Junying ate very quickly. After finishing his meal, he threw away his chopsticks and went back to the house.

During the whole process, he didn't say a word or even glance at Yang Jingyi.

After dinner, Hu Chunli took Yang Jingyi to stick the test papers on the dining table. Looking at Yang Jingyi's grades, Hu Chunli felt a little uncomfortable.

From this score, it is obvious that I have corrected it with a red pen. My daughter never cared about her grades before, but this time...

She did not expose Yang Jingyi, but quietly glued the test paper together and put it into Yang Jingyi's schoolbag.

Looking up, I saw Yang Jingyi looking listless.

Hu Chunli's nose was sore and she hugged her over. "Your dad has been in a bad mood these days. He will be fine in two days. We don't have to be sad!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jingyi nodded heavily.

During the lunch break, neither the mother nor the daughter fell asleep. When the time came, they both got up.

After sending Yang Jingyi to school, on the way back, she passed by Li Xu's shop. Hu Chunli stood outside and paused for a long time.

When Li Xu looked up, he saw her standing there stupidly.

Li Xu sighed helplessly, put down the leeks in his hand, and waved to Hu Chunli.

Hu Chunli finally reacted and walked into Li Xu's shop.

Li Xu brought her a stool, and the two of them sat at the door of the store, neither of them speaking.

It's a little after 1:00 p.m. now, and there are few people coming at this time.

Li Xu knew that Hu Chunli was feeling aggrieved and probably wanted to talk to her but was too embarrassed to do so.

Sure enough, not long after, Hu Chunli spoke.

"Tell me, why does a person change so quickly?" She lowered her head, without stopping picking leeks, as if she was just chatting with Li Xu.

Li Xu also knew that Hu Chunli didn't expect her to give any answer, so she didn't answer.

"Yang Junying and I were classmates. We got together before we graduated. We got married not long after graduation, and gave birth to Jingyi the second year after our marriage. Before this year, I really felt that I was quite happy. His mother favored boys over girls, and for many years, she had been urging us to have another son, and he was the one who mediated between us."

Li Xu sighed softly.

"But since Jingyi was diagnosed with this disease, he has changed. He wants to use his connections to get Jingyi assessed as disabled, so that we can have a second child. He said he has no other ideas, he just wants to have a second child so that he can take better care of Jingyi in the future."

Having said this, Hu Chunli finally couldn't help it and choked up.

"But my daughter is fine, why should she be disabled? How can she live with the name of a disabled person? Besides, Jingyi's disease is not serious. As long as she pays attention, she will not get sick.

I just find it incredible. Is his love for Jingyi all fake? Can he take it back just like that? Even if Jingyi is sick, she is still his daughter. He really loved Jingyi in the past. He bought her whatever Jingyi wanted. "

Li Xu wiped her hands, pulled a piece of paper from the side and handed it to Hu Chunli. Hu Chunli lowered her head and took it, and wiped it on her face.

"You know what? He and that woman have been together for two months. He was planning to divorce me because I refused to have a second child. He was planning to divorce me and have another child with another woman!"

Having said this, a hint of hatred finally appeared on Hu Chunli's face.

"If I get divorced, wouldn't that be exactly what he wants? If we get divorced, he will definitely not want the child. I can't support Jingyi by myself. And he can marry that woman and have another child, and the family will be happy. Why? As long as I don't get divorced, he has to support us. As long as I don't get divorced, no matter how many women he has outside, no matter how many children he has, they are all illegitimate children!"

Listening to Hu Chunli's words, Li Xu frowned slightly: "Why are you doing this? While torturing him, you are also torturing yourself."

Hu Chunli sneered: "I'm already like this, what should I be afraid of? As long as Jingyi can have a complete family, I don't care what happens to me."

Li Xu didn't say anything else. She sighed slightly in her heart.

Is a complete but unhealthy family really that important to a child?

But she knew that Hu Chunli would definitely not listen to her now.

After saying this, Hu Chunli seemed to have finally vented her anger.

She smiled and stood up, saying, "I should go back home. I still have a pile of clothes to wash!"

Li Xu nodded, and Hu Chunli turned and left.

Since that day, life in Yang Jingyi's family seemed to have returned to its former peace.

Hu Chunli never talked to Li Xu about family matters again. The two of them never met each other on weekdays except when they picked up or dropped off the children.

…

The days became dull and time passed like flowing water, and soon it was the end of 1997.

A few days into the twelfth lunar month, the school held final exams.

Ji Ziang was full of confidence for this exam.

"This time, I will definitely be able to surpass Qi Huanhuan." Right after the test, he said shamelessly to Ji Yuanyuan and others.

Of course, it turns out that he has the capital to brag.

Ji Ziang's test score was indeed better than Qi Huanhuan's. He scored five points higher than Qi Huanhuan, and moved from sixth place to fifth place.

Qi Huanhuan, on the other hand, moved up from fifth place to sixth place.

Although he only dropped one place, Qi Huanhuan's face still didn't look too bad.

The way he looked at Ji Ziang changed.

Unfortunately, Ji Ziang did not realize this.

He looked at the test paper, but the shadow of the TV appeared in front of him.

So, as soon as school was over, Ji Ziang picked up his schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom impatiently.

After meeting up with Ji Yuanyuan and the others, he couldn't wait to ask Ji Yuanyuan: "How did you do in the exam this time? What was your ranking?"
