Do you want to go to the city so much? Don't worry, mother will definitely take you with her." Liu Chunhua was making pickles and took the time to make Jiang Ruyi laugh.

In the past, the family was poor, and Jiang Zhishun had nothing good to give him every time he went back to school. He could only cook some dishes for him to take away. Although he has money now and can buy whatever he wants, Liu Chunhua feels that only this jar of pickles can better reflect her concern for the second child, and it can also be regarded as a kind of psychological sustenance.

"Okay, put the lid on and you can eat it directly later."

Liu Chunhua was very satisfied with her craftsmanship and carefully tightened the lid.

Jiang Zhize knew her habits, so he fetched some water for her to wash her hands first, and asked, "Mom, what about me? I want to go to the city, too."

It's easy to say that working in the kitchen is easy to learn, especially since Jiang Zhize has been working all day for so long and wants to relax occasionally.

Liu Chunhua refused, "If you can't do it, Ruyi and I can go."

"Why?"

Jiang Zhize was puzzled and his tone became excited.

Liu Chunhua looked at him for a few seconds and decided to give him a reminder, "Because there are more important things for you to do."

Ten minutes later, Liu Chunhua came back after washing her hands, and Jiang Zhize stopped making a fuss.

[You told him?] Jiang Ruyi had already guessed it.

Liu Chunhua nodded, "Well, he will know it sooner or later anyway."

[That’s right. Then don’t think too much about it. When are we going into the city? ]

"Tomorrow, the sooner the better. Besides, you're almost one year old, so I have to buy you a birthday present."

Liu Chunhua had already made plans. She would first go to see the second brother, and then go to the largest shopping mall in the county to buy things for Ruyi. She was prepared to spend a lot of money and had prepared the money long ago.

Jiang Ruyi also began to look forward to it. The next morning, they both changed into clean and decent clothes and got on the bus to the county town.

The car sped along the way. As we got closer to the county town, the scenery on both sides of the road became more and more prosperous. From the overgrown weeds at the beginning to the gradually emerging buildings of various colors, it was very characteristic of the era.

Jiang Ruyi watched with great interest. Although it could not be compared with the modern county town, it was still much more lively than the towns.

It was a rare occasion for Liu Chunhua to go out, and both of them were in a good mood. However, this good mood dropped to freezing point after arriving at school.

"Master, are you sure? I'm looking for Jiang Zhishun. I talked to you on the phone last time."

"That's right, he's no longer in school."

The security guard at the school gate confirmed again. Liu Chunhua was completely confused. "How could he not be in school? He is a student. Where can he be if he is not in school?"

[Don't be so anxious, ask what happened first.] Jiang Ruyi saw that she was at a loss, and she wanted to speak for her. Liu Chunhua took a while to calm down, and said to the guard, "Master, what happened? Did the school expel him?"

"You should wait until you find him and ask him for details. It's not convenient for us to say too much." The guard said as he closed the door. He was still working for the school, so naturally he didn't want to cause too much trouble.

Liu Chunhua was even more panicked. She wanted to go in and ask Jiang Zhishun's teacher, but was stopped by other security guards. Seeing her anxious face, the guard couldn't bear it and stuck his head out, "Big sister, why don't you go to the hair salon on East Street and see if you can run into him."

After saying this, he quickly closed the window tightly as if he was afraid of being heard.

"Let's go to East Street."

Liu Chunhua reacted, picked up Jiang Ruyi and hailed a taxi on the side of the road. There were taxis in the county town these days but not many, and it took a while to hail one.

Liu Chunhua's palms began to sweat as soon as she reported the location.

Jiang Ruyi was also quite puzzled to see her like this.

Logically, Jiang Zhishun should be studying hard at school now and nothing should happen to him.

There was no point in thinking too much. When the two arrived at their destination, they started looking for a hair salon. They had no idea what kind of place this was, but there were so many hair salons clustered together, one after another.

Liu Chunhua searched for a long time but couldn't find it, until Jiang Ruyi suddenly patted her on the shoulder, "There!"

"Is that so?"

Liu Chunhua immediately followed her line of sight and saw Jiang Zhishun, who had dyed his hair yellow, washing customers' hair in a hair salon in front of her. The reason why she did not recognize him at first sight was not only because the Jiang Zhishun in front of her and in her memory seemed like a different person, but also because the way he was holding a cigarette and flirting with the female customer at this moment did not look familiar at all!

"Second brother!"

Liu Chunhua yelled in pain, and Jiang Zhishun froze instantly when he heard the familiar voice. By the time he reacted and wanted to run, Liu Chunhua had already approached him and grabbed his arm tightly.

"Jiang Zhishun, what are you doing?"

"Who are you? Am I here to cause trouble?" The hair salon owner rushed over immediately after hearing the noise, and Liu Chunhua gave him a fierce look.

"I'm his mother!"

"you...."

"It's okay, boss. I'll take care of it." Jiang Zhishun spoke. His face had regained its composure. There was even a hint of numbness on his childish face. He said to Liu Chunhua calmly, "Don't make a fuss here. Let's go talk to the side."

Before Liu Chunhua could say anything, the female guest stopped working and flirted with him in a coquettish tone, "Where are you going? How long will it take you to come back? I came here specially to see you."

Liu Chunhua felt a surge of blood rushing to her head!

She is also a businesswoman, how could she not know that some hair salons are not formal, with women selling sex and men having affairs? But she never thought that such a thing would happen to her little son!

"Jiang Zhishun, you are shameless!"

With a slap, Liu Chunhua raised her hand and slapped him, then dragged him out.

After they walked out of the street, Jiang Zhishun shook her hand off. "That's enough. Are you done yet?"

"You did something wrong, and you still dare to talk to me like that?" Liu Chunhua's eyes were filled with tears. Jiang Zhishun didn't dare to look into her eyes for a moment, but soon smiled indifferently, "What did I do wrong? Isn't the purpose of studying to earn money? So what's wrong with me working earlier?"

Jiang Ruyi was stunned.

Oh my god, why does her second brother look like he’s possessed by a ghost and has become completely unrecognizable?

Liu Chunhua was furious, but she also knew that something must be wrong. She forced herself to calm down and said to him, "Second brother, what's wrong with you? Making money is not something you should be thinking about now. Didn't you promise me last time that you would study hard and try to get into a good university? Why did you become like this now?"

Jiang Zhishun didn't say anything. For a moment, his mind thought of the last time they met, that bowl of noodles full of love and Liu Chunhua's earnest instructions, but what was the use?

His life has been ruined.
