Ai Xiaoxia transmigrated to the early 1990s, becoming a newlywed bride returning home.
Unexpectedly, her maiden home was a wolf's den, actually forcing her to extort money from her husban...
Chapter 329 Ai Zhu's Struggle
To be honest, Lin Xiaoxia was surprised by Lu Jingxue's reaction, because in her impression, Lu Jingxue didn't seem to be so sad because of anyone, not even his own mother.
But that child is so pitiful. He died after being saved for so long. Maybe the child knew that this family was not good and didn't want to come. I hope that this child can be reborn into a good family in the future.
At this time, no one expected that Ai Zhu went to the vicinity of Huang Wanxia's unit and called her, wanting to meet her.
Huang Wanxia held the phone, listening to Ai Zhu's familiar voice, her heart was full of mixed emotions, but she was very clear in her mind: "Let's not meet. I said, my relationship with you is over, we have no relationship anymore."
Ai Zhu cried, "Mom, we have been mother and daughter for twenty years. You can't really watch me go to nowhere, right?"
Huang Wanxia said, "You have your own parents and your own family, and I raised you until you were twenty. You went to school for so many years, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to support yourself. You don't have to act pitiful. I will never interfere in anything you do."
Ai Zhu actually knew that her previous actions had worn away Huang Wanxia's motherly affection for her, but now she had no other choice. After a lot of thinking, she still thought of Huang Wanxia.
She cried and said to Huang Wanxia, "Mom, I really have no other choice. I don't ask for anything else, just lend me some money. I can't stay in the Ai family anymore, but I have no money. I can't find a place to stay in the city. Can you just give me 200 yuan?"
She wanted to lure Huang Wanxia out, and then use the torture trick on her in front of her. She didn't dare to block her there after get off work, because Lin Jianye would also come out after get off work. If the two of them were together, she would not be able to control them, but she still had some confidence that Huang Wanxia was alone.
Huang Wanxia still said firmly: "I have nothing to do with you anymore. I won't care about your affairs. Don't look for me again." After that, she hung up the phone.
Huang Wanxia knew too well how cruel Ai Zhu was. Although they had been mother and daughter for twenty years, looking back on it now, it was all a nightmare. It was not that she was cruel, but that this person was simply too evil.
Although she understood everything, Huang Wanxia still felt uncomfortable after hanging up the phone. After all, they had lived together for so many years, how could there be no feelings at all?
But she knew clearly what she should and should not do. To pay attention to Ai Zhu would be to betray her two children, and she would never do that.
Ai Zhu leaned against the wall next to the phone booth, her eyes full of resentment. She hated these people so much. Why didn't anyone sympathize with her or understand her?
At night, in the hospital ward of Shiqiao Township, Lu Jingxue lay on the hospital bed staring blankly at the ceiling. He didn't dare to close his eyes, because as soon as he closed his eyes, he would see the dead child.
He looked at his hands. He was the one who killed his son. He had already grown into a boy. If he had not quarreled and pushed Zhang Tingting, he would have been a father in a few months.
He had never taken his father's role so seriously before, but the moment he saw the dead baby, everything in his mind changed. He wished the child was alive. He regretted it and hated himself for being such a jerk. He wished time could go back, he wouldn't have argued with Zhang Tingting, he would have given birth to his son safely, but it was too late.
People may be so strange. Sometimes even death may not be able to change their heart, but suddenly a certain nerve is touched and it changes.
Zhang Tingting's anesthetic effect had worn off, and she was in so much pain that she didn't have the energy to think too much.
On the weekend, Lin Xiaoxia's family and her second uncle's family went to the provincial capital together. Her fourth uncle Wen Jizu was able to get out of bed with the help of crutches and was in good spirits. He would be able to go home and recuperate in half a month.
Zheng Qing was very happy to show her account book to Lin Xiaoxia and others. She could earn ten or eight yuan every day.
In recent years, the domestic economy has developed rapidly, wages have increased a lot every year, and the income of self-employed individuals has become more considerable year by year, so small businesses are easy to do.
Zheng Qing said that when she returned home, she would go to the market to sell these. Anyway, now she knew where to get the goods and how to sell them.
Lin Xiaoxia always felt that Zheng Qing had a good financial mind and was a natural businessman, so she told her to explore slowly. If she needed capital for anything in the future, she should tell her so that she wouldn't miss it.
Zheng Qing was particularly excited and really grateful to Lin Xiaoxia.
Over there, the three brothers Lin Jianye, Lin Jianguo and Lin Jianshe were also happy when they talked to Wen Jizu.
Wen Guowang is not here today. He is at home with his two children. After all, the children are in school and he can't be here all the time.
Huang Wanxia and her two sisters-in-law took out all the food and daily necessities they brought with them, washed what needed to be washed, and placed the ready-made food at the head of Wen Jizu's bed.
Lin Rui didn't come to work this week, and Lin Xiao had a cold these days and didn't come either, for fear of infecting them.
Seeing that Wen Jizu recovered well, everyone felt relieved and returned to the city in the afternoon.
Fang Lan'e also handed over the keys to her house these days, but Lin Xiaoxia said she wanted to design it for her and clean it up.
Lin Fangfang was also willing to let Fang Lan'e stay with her for a while. She was really lonely at home, and it was good to have a companion now, so it was a good time for her to clean up the house.
It happened to be Tuesday, the least busy day in the store, so Lin Xiaoxia went to find Fang Lan'e and took measurements of her new home so she could draw the blueprints.
The two entered the house. Although Lin Xiaoxia had been here before, it looked messy with furniture at that time. Now that everything has been moved out, the layout is okay. The only drawback is that the living room is small. But there is no way around it. They can only make the best use of the space in the design.
Lin Xiaoxia drew a blueprint for Fang Lan'e, and the layout remained unchanged. At that time, the house was made of prefabricated panels, so it was impossible to move the walls. However, the interior decoration still needed to be well designed to make it warmer.
She took a pen and paper and asked Fang Lan'e to help her measure and draw the floor plan.
This house has two bedrooms and a living room, over 60 square meters, which is not small at that time. There is no public area, and it is bright and spacious.
Although it is not a floor-to-ceiling window, the south balcony is very wide and can be used to grow some flowers and plants, and you can also raise a cat or a dog in the future. After all, Fang Lan'e still cannot accept another relationship in her heart, so Lin Xiaoxia wants her to raise a small animal so that she won't be lonely.
While drawing the floor plan, Lin Xiaoxia chatted with Fang Lan'e: "Xiao'e, with this house, no matter whether you get married or not, this place will give you enough sense of security, and I feel relieved."
Fang Lan'e looked at Lin Xiaoxia and said with a smile: "I know you are worried about me, worried that I will be lonely in the future, but I really don't want to get married again. Now that I have a house, I feel more at ease."
"Xiao'e, not all men in the world are like Xu Chengqiang. There are many good ones. We can't stop eating just because someone choked to death while eating." Lin Xiaoxia didn't insist on Fang Lan'e remarrying, but she was worried that she was afraid of men because of her previous marriage and would miss the right one. This would not be fair to her. If it weren't for these reasons, she wouldn't always persuade her.
Fang Lan'e was determined. "I'll starve to death if I don't eat, so I have to eat. But I can live without a man. I'm happy without a man and my parents-in-law. I don't want to put my life at risk again. Xiaoxia, you know what? This is the best time of my life. When I was a child, my family valued boys over girls. When I got married, my husband beat me, and my mother-in-law was unreasonable. Really, my life now is like a fairyland. I don't want to change. I enjoy my life now."
