It turns out they had meat at home, but she wasn't entitled to eat it, and neither her parents would give it to her.
Wiping away her tears, Zhao Fangfang tried hard not to cry.
From a young age, she knew she was the only child in her family. What did "only" mean? It meant enjoying everything as the only one.
So no matter how much her parents beat or scolded her, Zhao Fangfang felt bad but didn't need to have any other thoughts.
Because she only has one child, there's no comparison.
But the new baby was about to be born, and even before the baby was born, Zhao Fangfang could already feel the difference while the baby was still in her belly.
Her previously wavering heart instantly hardened; this family would no longer be her support, but rather a pit of fire.
She had to escape this home, and the quickest way was to hook up with Jiang Rongyi, the kind of person Jiang Rongyi could never get rid of, even if she died.
"Zhao Fangfang, is the food ready yet? If your brother goes hungry, you'll be in big trouble."
The sound traveled from the main room to the kitchen, and the distance between them gradually increased. Zhao Fangfang quickly responded.
"Father, Mother, it will be ready soon."
I dared not think any further; if I didn't hurry, I was sure to get a beating soon.
With her hands moving quickly as she cooked, Zhao Fangfang looked at the fragrant meat, took out an empty bowl, picked out two slices, and hid them in a corner.
"Father, Mother, the food is here."
Upon hearing the sound, Zhao's parents, who had been laughing, immediately became serious. They didn't say anything, but after finishing their meal, they took out a pen and a piece of paper.
“Fangfang, it’s not that your mother doesn’t believe you, it’s just that things have changed too quickly. Write down what you just promised on a piece of paper, so that your father and mother can truly believe you.”
The paper was yellowed, and under the light it looked ridiculously yellow.
The thin piece of paper made Zhao Fangfang want to cry, but she dared not ask, because she knew that if she asked even one word,
Zhao's father and mother would hit her immediately, so rather than passively endure it, she might as well pretend for now.
"Fangfang, why aren't you writing? Were you just lying to your father and mother?"
See? She was only a second late, and Zhao's parents were already unhappy.
"Father and Mother, how could that be? It is my blessing to be able to raise my younger brother. I just noticed a tear in the paper and was wondering if I should ask Father to get a new one."
Being well-behaved, obedient, and sensible, Zhao Fangfang's behavior pleased her parents even more.
After the new paper was brought over, Zhao Fangfang picked up a pen and wrote.
She had no other choice but to write.
She wrote it down with humiliation, stroke by stroke. When she finished, she was soaked to the bone, as if she had just emerged from the rain.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao exchanged a glance, relieved that they hadn't been fooled by Zhao Fangfang.
It was getting late, and after they had finished, they didn't want to pressure Zhao Fangfang, so the two of them helped each other back to their room.
As for Zhao Fangfang, she can sit for as long as she wants; she's allowed to waste two kilowatt-hours of electricity today.
The wind howled outside, just like Zhao Fangfang's heart; she too wanted to vent her emotions.
The reality is that they sit motionless in their seats, neither daring nor wanting to move.
The night was long, and lying in bed with her eyes open, Zhao Fangfang didn't dare close them.
The moment I close my eyes, I see Jiang Rongyi's disdainful gaze and Yao Dawei's disappointed look.
Between the two, there was a small figure; Zhao Fangfang knew at a glance that it was her child.
The child hates her, hates her for not making a decision sooner, hates her for not giving him a better life.
In terms of numbers, two people defeated one, and Zhao Fangfang made a decision that she would never waver from.
She chose the child and Yao Dawei.
As for Jiang Rongyi, she felt a pang of sadness, but Zhao Fangfang quickly comforted herself, saying it was alright, life was long, and she would always have a chance to make up for it.
As soon as it was light, Zhao Fangfang left without saying goodbye, clutching the medicine Yao Dawei had given her.
Step by step, she left the suffocating home. Once outside, Zhao Fangfang felt a sense of relief.
When she arrived at the school, Zhao Fangfang's heart sank again, but when she saw Yao Dawei, her heart lightened.
As Zhao Fangfang walked into the classroom, her heart sank. The repeated ups and downs made her, who hadn't slept all night, even more haggard.
Seeing Jiang Rongyi made Zhao Fangfang's feelings even more complicated, but seeing Li Yiyi gave her an outlet.
It wasn't her fault; she just wanted to get revenge on Li Yiyi by taking Jiang Rongyi away, so Li Yiyi wouldn't have a brother anymore.
Zhao Fangfang deceived herself, but she didn't realize how much attention she attracted by standing at the classroom door for so long.
Here it comes.
These were the thoughts of Jiang Rongyi and Li Yiyi. They had waited for a very long time, and they thought Zhao Fangfang wasn't coming.
Distracted, Zhao Fangfang stared blankly as Li Yiyi and Jiang Rong walked past together.
No one noticed where Su Shu and Yun Yu, who were usually there, had gone.
"Jiang Rongyi, can we talk?"
Finally reaching Jiang Rongyi, Zhao Fangfang realized that using Li Yiyi as an excuse to vent her ambitions seemed untenable.
Jiang Rong didn't even glance at her. She thought, "You think she can snatch it?"
"What's up?"
After waiting for a long time, Zhao Fangfang didn't say anything. Instead, she stood blankly in front of him, seemingly lost in thought.
Being stared at by someone she disliked, or rather, someone she loathed, made Jiang Rongyi feel psychologically uncomfortable.
"Jiang Rongyi, I need to talk to you about something."
Looking at the handsome and noble face before her, Zhao Fangfang still couldn't bear to part with him. She couldn't deceive herself; even if it was fake, she still wanted to be associated with Jiang Rongyi.
She didn't want to use the excuse she had previously discussed with Yao Dawei.
"I'm busy."
After a moment of surprise, Jiang Rongyi refused.
