This was the first time Hongxia heard such words.
She put down the newly bought book and asked doubtfully, "Mom, are we out of money?"
"It's not that I don't have money, I still have some. It's just that the city is different from the countryside, everything costs money, so I have to save money."
"Didn't Dad send you money?"
"He now sends money every three months. The next time he sends money will be two months away. I only have a few dozen dollars left. My mother and I have to rely on these few dozen dollars to survive for two months."
"Ah?" She had no idea about money, but she knew that a few dozen yuan was not a lot. "Then what should I do? Should I talk to my uncle and borrow some from him first?"
Xie Li shook her head and said, "I won't speak unless it's absolutely necessary."
"It's okay to borrow from my uncle, right?"
Xie Li continued to smile and shook her head, "Hongxia, remember this, if you are short of money, just borrow it, it will become addictive. If we have no money, we should think of a way ourselves first, and never take the initiative unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if that person is your relative, your parents. In the future, when you grow up, if you can't make money and have no money, don't ask easily even if you want to borrow money from your parents."
She emphasized once again that one should not ask for a loan easily.
Hongxia seemed to understand, but she was puzzled and asked, "Didn't mother say that if you only gave birth to one child, then you are an only child."
"Um."
"Then your money is not yours?"
Xie Li: “…”
She rubbed her head with a smile and said, "Don't think like that. When you grow up, you will be an independent individual. Mountains will fall if you rely on them, and people will run away if you rely on them. Only yourself is the most reliable. Don't always think, if it doesn't work out, who else can I do? No one will always be there for you and cover for you, not even your parents."
She thought about herself when she was a child. She had a father and a mother. Her family was not very wealthy, but it was still good. At least compared with other families in the village, her family was well off.
But what happened later? Their family's support collapsed and their mother ran away.
She hadn't come to her senses at that time, and later found another man.
Then the man ran away too.
She finally woke up and understood the truth of the saying, "If you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away; only yourself is the most reliable."
Of course, she would unconditionally support Hongxia and be her backer.
But who knows which will come first, intention or the future?
She didn't want Hongxia to be a housewife who depended on others for a living in the future, even if she married into a good family and the man she found treated her well and was able to support her.
However, she couldn't let her lose the ability to resist risks.
Hongxia is not a child anymore, it's time to instill this idea in her.
Hongxia thought for a long time before nodding, not quite understanding.
"Mom, is it okay for me to sleep with you tonight? There are not many family members around, and everything is quiet. There are only two of us in the house. I am a little scared."
"Okay." Xie Li smiled and said, "You can sleep with me until school starts. This place will be lively after school starts."
"good."
There are only a few days left before school starts. During these days, neighbors have moved here one after another.
Many teachers from this school live in small houses like theirs.
As they are all intellectuals, Xie Li feels that such an environment is definitely better for learning.
…
Xie Li and Hongxia moved away, and Ye Xiaozhen still felt a little uncomfortable.
Think about it, when Xie Li first came, she was not used to it either, Xie Li, she seldom used her kitchen anymore.
The strange thing is, now that Xie Li is gone, she is no longer used to it.
Well, they will have to move there in a month.
When Grandma Liu had nothing to do, she came over to help her pick vegetables and chatted with her while picking. "Ye Xiaoqiang went to live with his father-in-law. Did you know that?"
"Yes, I heard about it."
"Tsk, tsk, what about Liang Cuiping's two brothers? They don't need live-in sons-in-law. I heard that their two sisters-in-law dislike them so much that they want to drive them away. Liang Cuiping's parents love their little daughter, so there will be conflicts, right? It's a mess all day long."
Ye Xiaozhen thinks that Grandma Liu, who is always at the forefront of the entertainment industry, is really a magical person.
That was such a long time ago, but she was able to eat the melon.
"In order to please his mother-in-law's family, Ye Xiaoqiang took most of the food that was collected at home. Ye Xiaochun was almost angry. She said that there was not much to begin with, and she didn't have a job now, so she lived on that little food."
"Has Ye Xiaochun not found a job yet?"
"It's easy to say, but how can it be that easy to find? Who would want the daughter of a murderer?"
People at that time were still quite conservative. If they knew she was the daughter of a murderer, they would definitely not want her.
She is really the one who has to look for someone among her acquaintances.
If you are smart enough, go to a place where no one knows you.
With work experience and a junior high school diploma, it is not difficult to get a job as a factory worker.
Grandma Liu added: "It's not easy for her to get married now."
Ye Xiaozhen was stunned. "She and Qian Jian broke up?"
"You should divide her up. She's already the daughter of a murderer. Why keep her?"
Ye Xiaozhen felt that Qian Jian also had some issues.
Two years ago, she still thought he was a clear-headed person, and she avoided him after seeing the expressions of his family.
But unexpectedly, she ended up being together with Ye Xiaochun again.
They lived together for two years, like a married couple, but she refused to get a marriage certificate with Ye Xiaochun.
If this happened decades later, living together for two years would not be a big deal.
But now the problem is huge, it is almost impossible.
This is now called a de facto marriage, which means that to everyone they are a couple, so how can they be separated?
"Can Ye Xiaochun tolerate this? They have lived together for two years, so this is considered a de facto marriage, right?"
"That's right. I heard that they invited friends and colleagues to drink."
That's it.
"But, they didn't say it was a wedding wine, and Ye Xiaochun has never met her parents, so their relationship has always been unclear."
About this matter... Ye Xiaozhen thought about it carefully and felt that Ye Xiaochun might have been deceived.
Of course, she only thought about this but didn't say it out loud.
"Let's not talk about them. Let them do whatever they want. They have nothing to do with me now."
"That's right. They have nothing to do with you now, but with Wang Dakun. I don't know what kind of person Ye Xiaoqiang is. He always wanted to rely on his sisters and their husbands to make a living. Now that his two sisters are no longer available, he has set his sights on my eldest brother. Hey, although he is now someone's son-in-law, he still comes back to look for Wang Dakun every now and then. Fortunately, Wang Dakun was smart and hid away, otherwise he would have annoyed him to death."
Grandma Liu talked a lot, and at the end, she talked about Xie Li.
"You're almost too busy to handle everything since Xiaoli came to the city. Xiaozhen, when are you going to move there?"
"We are not in a hurry. Big sister is in a hurry to move in because Hongxia is about to start school."
