Qian Lei came upstairs to call Qian Dan to eat. Qian Dan glared at him and thought to herself, "Huh, do you think that you can make your mother like you just because you study well?

Mom doesn't value studying, you're worrying about it for nothing."

Qian Lei asked her, "Dandan, I heard from Dad and Grandma that she doesn't want me, she only wants you. Did she really say that?"

Chandan nodded and then shook his head, "Brother, maybe she only wants a daughter because she gave birth to another son.

Let’s ignore her and go eat!”

Qian Dan secretly glanced at Qian Lei's clenched fist and smiled triumphantly.

"Humph, if she's not allowed to go, then no one else can go."

Coming downstairs, Chen Cuizhen muttered again, "Chinese New Year is almost here, and I don't know where those two debt collectors are."

No one responded to her, and Chen Cuizhen became a little angry, "Dandan, please go to the kitchen and bring out the food.

A girl of her age, she doesn't do her homework or help with housework, she just runs out all day long."

"I understand." Qian Dan stood up and went into the kitchen.

After dinner, Qian Dan asked Qian Jinshu for money, "Dad, I have finished my homework book. Give me some money to buy two more."

Qian Jinshu took out five yuan and said, "Buy two copies for your brother too."

Qian Dan thought it was too little and was about to ask her father to give her more when she saw her grandmother come in. She immediately put the money in her trouser pocket and left.

If her grandmother saw this, she would definitely nag her for a long time.

As soon as Qian Dan opened the door, she saw those gossipy old ladies guarding her door again.

Ma Dazui asked her, "Dandan, where are you going?"

Chandan loudly told them, “I am going out to buy exercise books.”

"Dandan, I heard that you're going to school in the city with your mother in a few days. Is that true?"

Qian Dan thought for a moment and said, "No, my mother doesn't want my brother to go with her, so I won't go."

The black woman smiled and said, "Silly girl, now when a couple divorces, each of them raises one child.

Every family has sons with their father and daughters with their mother.

If you don't follow your mother with such good conditions, you will definitely regret it in the future."

Ma Zipo also said: "Your mother is rich in business, and your stepfather is a high-ranking official.

If you go to the city, you'll be a rich lady, enjoying endless wealth and splendor. How can you not go out of spite?"

Qian Dan smiled and said, "Not only is it troublesome to transfer schools, but my grades can't keep up with the students in the city. I might as well finish high school here.

While you guys are chatting, I'm going to buy exercise books."

After saying that, he ran away.

Ma Dazui looked at Qian Dan's back and pursed his lips, "This girl, I think she's even more cunning than Chen Cuizhen."

Ma Zipo nodded in agreement, "Exactly. I don't know what the final verdict will be."

Sister Wang came over and said, "I was thinking, since Qian Dan didn't follow Qiu Mei, then they must both be following Qian Jinshu.

Qiu Mei pays child support.

It's impossible for their family to give Leilei to Qiumei, right? "

Ma Dazui snorted, "Then Chen Cuizhen will have to ask for a lot of money. Maybe the whole family depends on the child support from Qiu Mei to survive."

Ma Zipo nodded and said, "I think so too. Look at Qian Jinshu. After he was laid off, I haven't seen him work a single day."

Qian Dan strolled around the street and ran into his classmate Bai Yuqin.

A few days ago, Chandan thought he was going to the city, so he didn't bother to pay attention to her.

"Hey, isn't this the eldest daughter of the Qian family? Why is she still in Beishan County?

Didn't you say you were going to North City to enjoy yourself?"

Qian Dan put his hands on his hips and said, "Beishan County is not your home. Why do you care where I go?"

Bai Yuqin was not to be outdone, "Your mother doesn't want you, yet you still rush over to her. Bah, how shameless!"

Qian Dan snorted coldly, “Your mother wants you, but she makes you serve your brother every day. You are just your brother’s servant.

Also, how do you know that it was me who rushed there, rather than my mom who rushed to find me?

I tell you, Bai Yuqin, whether I go to Beicheng or not, whether I follow my father or my mother, I will live a better and freer life than you."

After Qian Dan finished cursing, she walked away arrogantly. Bai Yuqin spat at her back, "Bah, what are you so arrogant about?"

Qian Dan bought an exercise book and two big pieces of bubble gum. Thinking of the group of women at the door, she decided to go back later.

When she walked to the park, she saw her aunt.

Li Qiuxiang is trimming flowers and plants.

Before, Chandan felt it was shameful for his aunt to do the job of cleaning parks and toilets.

Now, after her father was laid off, Qian Dan feels that her aunt's job is not so shameful.

"Auntie, Auntie."

Li Qiuxiang turned around and saw Qian Dan, "Dandan, have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

"Aunt, I want to ask for my mother's phone number."

Li Qiuxiang said that the Qian Dan brother and sister pretended not to see her whenever they saw her over the years.

Unexpectedly, this sudden closeness also had a purpose.

"Dandan, Auntie has a bad memory and can't remember the phone number. I wrote it down in my notebook."

"Auntie, what time do you get off work?"

Li Qiuxiang was shocked. "We just started working and it's still early to get off work. It seems Qian Dan has to do it.

However, she didn't want to tell Qian Dan Qiu Mei's phone number at all.

Given this child's character, if I gave her her phone number, she would probably harass Qiu Mei every day."

Li Qiuxiang told Qian Dan the time to get off work. Qian Dan thought about it and decided to go home first.

Chandan followed an older sister into the alley.

While those people were questioning the sister, she slipped away back home.

Just as Chen Cuizhen was about to go upstairs, she saw Qian Dan coming in blowing bubble gum.

She simply turned back and said, "Dandan, kid, I've told you so many times.

Your father has been laid off and the family has no income, so you have to save money.

Aside from the essential school supplies, things like bubble gum shouldn't be bought. Why don't you listen?"

Qian Dan didn't say anything. If she talked back now, her grandmother would probably have to count every penny she spent since she was born.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Cuizhen instructed her, "Go water the vegetable garden."

Chandan spat out his bubble gum into the trash can. "I'm not going! I need to do my homework."

Chen Cuizhen frowned and scolded her, "Dandan, every time I ask you to work, you do your homework.

If I really did homework every day, how could my grades still be at the bottom?"

Qian Dan rolled her eyes. It was always the same words that her grandma said. She wondered if these were the only words her grandma could say.

Once Chen Cuizhen started, she couldn't stop.

"Dandan, don't you see that your father has bad legs and feet, and your grandfather is with your uncle's family and doesn't dare to come over to help.

I am such an old man, I have to do everything inside and outside the house. If I work myself to death, won’t you and your son be left with nothing?"
