Chapter 1 She's Pregnant
Wei Yuxian is pregnant.
She sat on an iron chair in the hospital, holding an ultrasound report in her hand, and her mind was replaying the words the doctor had just said: "Little girl, congratulations on your pregnancy. You are pregnant with two babies. Congratulations..."
But Wei Yuxian was not happy at all. In fact, looking at the people coming and going in the hospital, she just felt very confused.
She didn't know what to do in the future. What would happen to her and her two children?
Everything started more than a month ago.
-
More than a month ago, Wei Yuxian came to Kyoto alone, dragging her luggage and taking a green train.
She came to Kyoto to study at university, and she was admitted to the finance major of Kyoto University of Economics.
But after she arrived in Kyoto, she found that the money she had worked so hard to save had disappeared!
At first she was very panicked. She took out her cheap mobile phone and checked several websites. The results showed that the 8,000 yuan in her bank card was really gone!
She was so anxious that tears were about to come out, and finally found out where her money had gone after five minutes.
Into her mother's bank card.
She didn't know when her mother transferred her money away without anyone noticing, nor did she know how her mother knew her password.
The moment she heard the news, Wei Yuxian didn't care about anything else. She squatted on the roadside and called her mother. The first thing she said was: "Mom, why did you transfer my money? That's the money I used to go to college!"
The eight thousand yuan was not only the money she saved from working hard, but also the money she borrowed from others. She had finally scraped together the eight thousand yuan, but it was transferred away by her mother just like that!
Wei Yuxian now wished she could rush back and have a big fight with her mother and make her spit out the money!
Why? Why did she transfer her money?
Wei's mother cursed her a few times on the other end of the phone before saying, "I told you not to go to college but you insisted on going! What's the point of studying in this crappy university? It's a waste of money. You might as well go out and work early and earn a little more money!"
Two lines of tears flowed from Wei Yuxian's eyes. She gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "That's my money! I use my money to go to school!"
"Bah! What do you mean by your money? Your money is my money! I haven't even told you that you secretly hid so much money and didn't report it! Fortunately, I'm smart. I knew that you, a spendthrift, had no good intentions. You wanted to use the money to go to school, but forget about it!
Now that you have no money, I wonder how you can continue to go to school. What’s the point of studying so much if a girl doesn’t work? In the future, you will just marry someone else and make money for them!
Wei Yuxian, I’m telling you, don’t even think about going to school. I won’t let you go!
It just so happens that your 8,000 yuan can be used to pay for your brother's tuition. I was still worrying about where to find the money, and you just gave it to me."
Mother Wei was laughing happily over there, and her laughter sounded extremely harsh when it reached Wei Yuxian's ears through the receiver!
This again!
This again!
She was like this every time! She was very willing to spend money on her two sons, but she was reluctant to spend a penny on herself, and even deducted the money she earned from working!
Why? Why on earth?!
Is she not her child? Is she doomed to be unable to study just because she is a girl?
Wei Yuxian's tears flowed more and more, soon covering her entire face. Her whole body was shaking, and she held the phone tightly in her hand, trying hard not to cry out loud.
Such insults have been heard since she could remember. Her mother always said that she was a money loser and was of no use at all. Her only use was to get married, and the money she earned from marriage could be used to help her brothers and sisters get married!
She has always believed that knowledge can change one's destiny, so she has never given up on studying. Even if her parents don't give her money, she will still work to study!
After a lot of hard work, she thought she had finally made it and could fly out of that small village, into the big world outside, escape from home and live a better life, but her mother shattered her hopes!
Eight thousand yuan...
Eight thousand dollars!
How can she study without money? She can't even survive!
She sniffed. She was in a strange big city, without a single acquaintance or anyone she could turn to for help.
She asked in a hoarse voice, "What should I do now..." As she spoke, her voice trembled.
When Wei's mother heard her miserable voice, she did not feel sorry for her. Instead, she felt happy and said, "Aren't you very capable? Didn't you say you would go to Kyoto even if you died? Then you can stay in Kyoto and work. I heard the salary there is very high.
After you get your salary, remember to transfer the money back every month. I need to give your brother and sister living expenses. It’s enough for you to keep a few hundred yuan for yourself. Do you understand?"
Her tone was not good at all, and the last sentence was spoken in an imperative tone.
It was as if Wei Yuxian was born to owe her something!
Wei Yuxian didn't expect that she was so cruel and could actually say such words! She felt uncomfortable in her heart, as if she was stabbed by tens of thousands of needles!
"You might as well let me die!" Wei Yuxian said this while choking, then she took down her phone tremblingly and pressed the hang-up button.
She squatted on the side of the road, hugged her knees, buried her head between her legs, and cried silently.
When people passing by saw her like this, they looked at her with sympathy, but did nothing and just walked away silently.
Wei Yuxian cried for a long time, her eyes and nose were red, and her whole body was numb. She wiped her tears, stood up tremblingly, dragged her luggage, and walked aimlessly on the street.
Passersby saw her like this and cast curious glances at her, which only made Wei Yuxian feel even more embarrassed.
Where should she go next? Should she go to school? No, even if she went to school she would have no money.
Is she going to work part-time? Where? What kind of work? Will she stay in Kyoto and work part-time for the rest of her life?
Anyway, she never wants to go back to that small village in her life!
She didn't want to be like those girls in the village who got married in their teens or early twenties and never had a chance to make a name for themselves in their lives!
Besides, if she went back, her mother would never let her go, and she didn't want her mother to use her own money to give living expenses to her brothers and sisters!
This is obviously her money, why should it end up in the hands of her brothers? Aren't their living expenses enough?
Being born in such a family was Wei Yuxian's misfortune, but she never gave up. She always wanted to walk out of that small village and into the big world outside!
And studying is her only way out!
But now this only way out is about to be cut off...
