Chapter 135 It’s too late. It’s not cheated, it’s voluntary.
"It's a bit painful to realize this now. It's better to realize it later in life," Jiang Moli said. "Then you'll have fewer regrets."
When Jiang Moli heard what Niu Cuihua said to Jiang's mother, she felt that Jiang Yuqin would suffer in the future.
In the past, I had love to support me, but now, love is gone, I have no money and no house, and life is really unhappy.
"I think she's tried it before," Jiang Moli said. "She's just like her mother. They both like excitement. Her mother eloped, and she stole her household registration book to get married. They're the same."
It's just that the man Jiang Yuqin's mother found was a bit more capable, while the Ding Chao Jiang Yuqin found was much worse. Ding Chao didn't have much ability and only knew how to cheat others.
"That's why you always have to listen to the elders," Jiang's mother said. "Don't always think you're so capable. Jiang Yuqin is like this... If she had listened to your father and gone on blind dates with other people, her life would have been so much easier. Your father thought so much about her, and she still thinks he wasn't good enough for her."
Jiang's mother didn't know if Jiang Yuqin had any regrets, but she knew she was in a good mood. Jiang Yuqin had been so hard on herself before, so Jiang's mother wanted to see how she could live her life.
"Sister-in-law, let's eat at home later." Jiang Moli said, "Sister-in-law, tell mom more about Jiang Yuqin. I want to hear it too."
"Okay." Niu Cuihua nodded.
Niu Cuihua said that gossip is still allowed. When Jiang Yuqin and Ding Chao quarreled, they told everything outside.
"Didn't Jiang Yuqin say before that they lent money to Ding Hongwang to buy a house? Then she said the money was taken away by Ding Chao's mother." Niu Cuihua said, "Now, she's saying that Ding Chao's mother didn't take that much money, and that Jiang Yuqin hid it herself."
Jiang Moli peeled a banana and handed it to Jiang's mother. She also peeled a banana for herself and asked someone to bring Niu Cuihua a glass of juice. Niu Cuihua's juice was gone. Maybe because she was thirsty from talking all the time, she drank it quickly.
Jiang's father came back from the backyard. He wanted to clean up a bit and happened to see Jiang Moli and a few others gossiping over there.
Xiao Sheng Haoxuan is still studying with his tutor. It's summer vacation, and school hasn't started yet. Xiao Sheng Haoxuan doesn't want to play, but wants to study hard. Other students must be studying hard at home, too. Xiao Sheng Haoxuan can't fall behind.
Jiang Moli and her husband didn't tell little Sheng Haoxuan what to do, but he kept saying what he needed to study. Seeing how much their child loved studying, Jiang Moli and her husband naturally made arrangements. Of course, the child still had some time to rest.
When Jiang's father heard Niu Cuihua talking about Jiang Yuqin, he wondered if he shouldn't come back at this time.
"Old man, come and listen." Jiang's mother saw Jiang's father, and Jiang's father couldn't hide away even if he wanted to.
At night, when Jiang Moli and her husband were in the room, Jiang Moli told Sheng Jiahao about Jiang's father's expression at that time.
"Dad was completely paralyzed at the time." Jiang Moli said, "As for Mom, she still can't forget what happened in the past. Mom always says that she has let me down, saying that my eldest brother is a dependent. Living in my stepfather's house, he naturally can't be with my biological father. Mom has to let Dad hear those words and make him regret it when she gets the chance."
"It's nothing." Sheng Jiahao said, "It's hard for Mom, and it's hard for you too. You were wronged in the past, so Mom is like this."
"Yeah." Jiang Moli nodded. "Dad always thought about Jiang Yuqin and did things for her own good. Mom was angry. If Jiang Yuqin's background had been discovered earlier, brother wouldn't have had to go to the countryside. If brother had stayed in the city to work, everything would have been much smoother, and we wouldn't have had to help him so much."
Niu Cuihua and his wife don't need Jiang Moli and his wife's help now, they are very grateful to Jiang Moli. Niu Cuihua and his wife also know that they don't have many good things to give to Jiang Moli, and all they can do is come and see her occasionally. They can take something back when they come and see her occasionally, which means they are still taking advantage.
If Zhao Guodong had stayed in the city, had a job, and hadn't moved to the countryside, he would have likely found a woman with a job. With both of them working, they might have gotten an apartment sooner from their workplace... Everything would have been different.
It’s not that Niu Cuihua is a bad person, but Zhao Guodong has been in the countryside for many years and his life is not that good. It was also very difficult at the beginning after he returned to the city, so he needed the help of people like Jiang Moli.
Others said Jiang Moli helped Zhao Guodong too much, but now, some people say Jiang Moli didn't help Zhao Guodong enough, saying that Niu Cuihua was still working hard to make tofu. When Niu Cuihua heard those words, she would refute those people, saying that her sister-in-law had been good enough to them, so what was wrong with them? It was clear that those people had a problem with their brains.
When Niu Cuihua first came to the city, she thought her sister-in-law was not a good person. Later, she realized that her sister-in-law was a very good person.
Those people saw that Jiang Moli lived in such a nice house, while Niu Cuihua and her husband only lived in an ordinary bungalow. The houses here were not as good and the conditions were much worse. Those people thought that Jiang Moli could give Niu Cuihua and her husband a better house, let them work less and get more money, and asked why Jiang Moli and her husband didn't take Niu Cuihua and her husband to invest.
Niu Cuihua rolled her eyes at what they were saying. Investments are not that easy. Just because someone has money doesn't mean they have to take you with them, and you can't do anything. It's like they're just taking the money for nothing. They can choose not to take you with them. Another point: investing can be profitable or loss-making. Niu Cuihua and her husband were timid and didn't dare invest. If they did, they'd buy houses or gold, and Jiang Moli was the same way.
Niu Cuihua and his wife didn't understand those things, they didn't know anything, and they relied entirely on others. Niu Cuihua and his wife didn't dare to do that, not because Sheng Jiahao was unreliable, but because they didn't have the face to take money for free.
Jiang Moli also knew what Niu Cuihua and his wife were thinking, but she herself didn't understand. Jiang Moli thought they should just save money to buy a house and gold, and not think about other things. It was useless to think too much.
"Let mom talk about it. She doesn't talk about it every day." Jiang Moli said, "It's just once in a while. It's harmless."
"My parents have a good relationship." Sheng Jiahao said.
"That's right, their relationship is indeed very good." Jiang Moli said, "Especially in recent years, Dad has become much softer in front of Mom."
It was because Jiang Yuqin's life story was discovered by Old Lady Jiang, and Old Lady Jiang exposed Jiang Yuqin's life story that Jiang's father became like this. If Jiang Yuqin's life story had not been exposed, Jiang's father would probably have helped Jiang Yuqin, and he might even have asked Jiang Moli to help Jiang Yuqin more.
It is impossible for Jiang Moli to help Jiang Yuqin much, even if Jiang Yuqin is Jiang Moli's biological sister, it is useless.
"Don't worry too much." Sheng Jiahao said, "How are the performances lately?"
"It's okay." Jiang Moli said, "Someone from my company was going to participate in the award review. The judging panel invited me to be a judge, but I didn't go."
Jiang Moli herself didn't have a good relationship with some individuals. If she were to be a judge and that person didn't win the award, wouldn't Jiang Moli be blamed? Jiang Moli didn't want to get involved in those things. Those people could judge the awards however they wanted, and whether they wanted to ask others for help was their business. Jiang Moli could just do her own thing.
"Ya'ran is currently working in administration, and she seems to be doing a pretty good job," Jiang Moli said. "Their unit also has applications for awards, and she's the one who reviews the forms with others."
"That's not bad," Sheng Jiahao said. "She successfully transitioned to administrative work, which is good. She doesn't have to think about doing anything else later and can continue doing those things at the company."
"Yes." Jiang Moli nodded. "You can continue working in the company. If you switch to another job, it's really hard to do. Many people who sing opera have only sung opera their entire lives. It's not that they can't do other things, but they all want to do things related to opera. Yaran's son didn't study opera, and it's the same with our children. The children don't like learning opera, so they don't learn it."
"Do you feel regretful?" Sheng Jiahao said.
"No," Jiang Moli said, "None of my parents sang opera, so I was the one who sang opera. My parents' family didn't have a family tradition of singing opera, but Teacher Lu's family did."
Before Jiang Moli awakened her past life memories, she hadn't considered whether her next generation would learn opera. After awakening her past life memories, Jiang Moli even stopped thinking about whether her next generation had to learn opera. There are many paths in this world, and you can walk any way you want. You don't have to walk a narrow path.
"Will Mom feel regretful?" Jiang Moli asked.
"Probably not." Sheng Jiahao said, "Mom is very happy that you won the award. If we weren't together, Mom wouldn't have an award-winning daughter-in-law, and maybe she would have regrets."
"How could that be..." Jiang Moli asked, "Do I have such a big role?"
"Yes." Sheng Jiahao said, "Mom likes you very much. You are the most important."
"You are important too." Jiang Moli said, "You are my other half."
"Yes, I am important too." Sheng Jiahao smiled.
Shi's mother went to see Shi Nan. Facing her son's words, she felt guilty, heartbroken, and mixed with emotions. Shi's mother looked at Shi Nan shaving his head. In fact, Shi Nan didn't need to shave his head. It was Shi Nan's own request.
Three Thousand Strands of Worry, Shi Nan began to read books related to Buddhism in prison.
"Pan Yun is abroad with the children. They rarely call, only occasionally." Shi's mother said, "They let us come to see you. They still call occasionally now, but I don't know about the future."
"Pan Yun and I are divorced. She doesn't have to call you. The two children are still young, so it's best not to affect them." Shi Nan said, "As long as they are living well abroad, it doesn't matter whether you call or not. They are still so young, they don't really understand those things."
Shi Nan didn't think much of his daughters constantly contacting Shi's mother. He told Pan Yun to limit the children's contact to Shi's mother, to just occasionally, to keep her in the dark for a while. If the Shi family's house was demolished, Shi's parents would have to divide the money among the children. Shi Nan's former earnings were gone, and he was in prison, so he couldn't afford to give his daughter much. He could only wait and see what Shi's parents did.
"They're studying abroad, and Pan Yun has no money, so they have to rely on Pan Yun's mother, the children's grandmother." Shi Nan said, "Pan Yun has always been good at spending money, not making money. She doesn't have the confidence in front of her mother. Mom, if you have the ability, please send them some money and don't let them live too poorly. Or do you think I can't provide for you in your old age, and you want to give the money to my eldest sister and others?"
"I didn't say I would give it to your eldest sister and the others." Shi's mother said, "I don't know if your two daughters will return to China in the future."
"Whether they return to China or not, they are my biological daughters." Shi Nan said, "When I get old, I will still have to rely on them. Mom, you treat them well now, it will be for my future good."
"Okay, okay, I'll remember that." Shi's mother said helplessly.
It would take many years for Shi Nan to be released from prison, and Shi's mother was indeed a little worried about Shi Nan's retirement. Shi's mother knew that she had to make more plans for Shi Nan. After all, a daughter was a daughter, and she was already married. Anything given to a daughter would end up in the hands of someone else. Giving something to her granddaughter was not a big deal.
Shi Nan knew that his mother and others still cared about him, so he talked about his future retirement and asked his mother and father to give some benefits to his two children. Shi Nan thought that the money his mother and father could give was too little, and if the Shi family was really demolished, the money should be given to his two children. This was Shi Nan's idea.
Both children are abroad, and Shi Nan cannot see them casually now. There is very little he can do.
After returning from the prison visit, Shi's mother sat on the sofa and sighed.
"Shi Nan is still thinking about the two children. He's worried they're not doing well abroad, so he wants us to send them some money," Shi's mother said. "Shi Nan's mother-in-law... is really not an easy person to deal with. She has no conscience. The children are with Pan Yun, which means they're with Pan Yun's mother. Pan Yun is too incompetent and not very useful. Shi Nan told me that... I can't help him."
"Then do as he says." said Shi's father.
Shi's father didn't have much of an opinion; he just wanted his granddaughters to live a good life, and that was fine. Both granddaughters were abroad, making it difficult for Shi's mother and father to see them, but they couldn't just ignore them. If Madam Pan Yun still had some property, perhaps Shi's father and mother wouldn't be so anxious.
"I originally thought of not arranging those things for Pan Yun." Shi's mother said, "According to what you said, I have to give her some."
"Of course we have to give it to her." Father Shi said, "She is our biological granddaughter."
Even though Shi's father and mother sent money to the two children, Mrs. Pan did not take them seriously. However, Mrs. Pan still told Pan Yun to contact Shi's father and mother. Free money is always good. If the Shi family's house is really demolished, Shi's father and mother can still give the money to the two children.
"Make a phone call, write a letter, chat online," Mrs. Pan said. "Anything is fine. If you were still as well-off as before, I wouldn't let you do that. Now that you don't have that kind of money, you have to be more proactive."
"I..." Pan Yun didn't expect Mrs. Pan to let her do this. "Mom, don't you dislike them?"
"I don't like them, but no one would feel bad about money," Mrs. Pan said. "The two children will grow up sooner or later, and when they grow up, they will need money. You can't work even if you ask you to. You've been spoiled. The two children can indeed go to work when they grow up. You're willing to let them suffer, and you can let them work for a longer period of time."
"I'll call them." Pan Yun said.
"Be polite," said Madam Pan. "Times are different now."
"Okay." Pan Yun nodded.
"Let the child talk, too. You don't have to talk for a long time," Mrs. Pan said. "Just a few words will be enough. Show more concern for Shi Nan in front of them."
"I understand." Pan Yun said.
After arriving abroad, Pan Yun did want to work, but the language barrier made it difficult for her to find a job. She stayed home, relying primarily on her wife to support her and her children. Mrs. Pan had some money and could provide the children with a good living.
To put it bluntly, Pan Yun is now no different from a loser, while Mrs. Pan still knows how to learn something and is more shrewd. Mrs. Pan did not expect that they would one day have to stay abroad for a long time, at least she did not expect Pan Yun and her two children to stay abroad for a long time. Things have become like this, and Mrs. Pan can only try her best to teach Pan Yun.
October arrived quickly, and the awards results came out. Jiang Moli was the guest of honor, not a judge. Another lead actor in Jiang Moli's group won an award, while another group of actors did not.
Jiang Moli wasn't presenting the award to another lead actress in the same group, she was presenting the award to a newcomer. The so-called newcomer actually meant a new lead actress, not someone who had just started performing.
This time, at the award ceremony held in South City, Jiang Moli and the others were happy for their colleagues. In addition to the leading actor winning the award, the screenwriter was also nominated. Although the screenwriter did not win the award, the screenwriter was also very happy. Being nominated is recognition.
This nomination refers to the shortlisted nomination, not the nomination that is considered as just a registration.
After winning the award, the leading actress in the same group with Jiang Moli joked that half of her award belonged to Moli, and Jiang Moli was thanked.
Some were happy, some were unhappy, like the lead actor from another group. The lead actor's age was listed there, and he was one year older this year, so he had even less chance in the future.
Being shortlisted but not winning is also a kind of recognition. However, some people go for the award and only want to win.
One day, when Jiang Moli went to work, she learned that the face of the protagonist in another group had been captured by the camera and broadcast on TV. Some people magnified these details just to take a closer look.
Some people talked about this incident when chatting online, and some media newspapers reported it. In order to attract attention, some reporters like to report such things.
This matter has nothing to do with Jiang Moli. Jiang Moli did not participate in the award judging. At most, she was the award presenter. It has nothing to do with her who wins the award. She does not need to do much about it.
Qiao Yuwei told Jiang Moli about this matter. The leading actors of another group also came to the unit today and are now in the leader's office.
"I guess this is her last chance," Qiao Yuwei said. "She's thirty-seven or thirty-eight now, and it's hard to come by good new plays. If she were to perform an older play, others would have done a great job, but she wouldn't be as good as them. As for a new play, it would take some time to polish it, and it would take another two or three years before it's ready for selection."
"That means she's almost forty years old," Jiang Moli said.
If you are forty years old, you are basically regressing. If you are not regressing, you are basically very popular.
It is actually not easy for the leading actor in the other group to maintain his original achievements, let alone continue to be popular. It is more likely that his fame will become less and less in the future.
This isn't just true for opera singers; film and television actors are like this too. For a while, these actors were essentially the lead actors, but after a while, they gradually stepped back, starting to play supporting roles, or even fewer roles. Some actors, unwilling to play supporting roles to newcomers or older actors, would withdraw from those roles.
"There's no time," Qiao Yuwei said. "That's why they wanted to snatch the polished script from your group. They must have thought that they were the first to choose a script, but they hadn't chosen one yet. But when you got the script, it wasn't like this now. You put in a lot of hard work. They just wanted to get something for nothing and blame others. The result now is because they didn't do their job well."
"The quality of a play depends on many factors," Jiang Moli said.
"Yeah." Qiao Yuwei nodded, "You're still amazing."
"It's okay..." Jiang Moli said.
Jiang Moli did not laugh at others and did not do any other unnecessary actions.
On that day, news spread that someone came out of the leader's office with red eyes.
Jiang Moli didn't see that person, and that person didn't come to her. Jiang Moli thought about it and it made sense, why would he come to her?
In the evening, when Jiang Moli was taking a walk with Sheng Jiahao, she talked about this incident and she did not feel guilty at all.
"Our team is already strong, so we couldn't give in just for her to win the award." Jiang Moli said, "Luckily, we didn't give in. If we had, the winner wouldn't be her, but someone from another unit."
People from other drama units are very strong, but they just had two fewer votes than the winner.
This data is public and is not a secret.
Although the results are generally announced directly at the awards ceremony, some people still ask about the details. The judging panel didn't hide anything; it's not something that shouldn't be shared with everyone.
"Today, at work, the leaders were happy but also scared. Luckily, they didn't let us back out," Jiang Moli said. "Having another winner is always good for the company, and it can also help with publicity."
"There's no need to give in on this kind of thing. This isn't an internal matter within your organization. You're competing with outsiders, so it's better to have an extra layer of insurance," Sheng Jiahao said. "If you give in and fail, that person will become the target of public criticism."
"That's right." Jiang Moli said, "Fortunately, nothing like this happened. The difference was huge. I heard that person came out of the leader's office with red eyes. Some people said she cried."
There's no point in crying. This kind of thing is a fair competition among everyone, and no one will give in to her.
When Jiang Moli was vying for the award, she was also prepared for failure. However, Jiang Moli was still young at the time, and the annual selection gave her many opportunities. Jiang Moli thought that if she could go to the awards ceremony earlier, then she should go earlier, and not think about giving way to older people, because this path cannot be given up.
If someone was truly capable, they would have won the award long ago, and there would be no need for people like Jiang Moli to make way. For someone like Jiang Moli who had already won the award and then wasn't nominated again, it wouldn't matter if she gave way to someone like that.
"In two or three years, she will retreat." Jiang Moli said, "She won't even have to wait until two or three years later. She will retreat sooner."
It all depends on whether this incident has hit the person hard, and whether the leadership wants to continue supporting that person. If that person is on the decline, the leadership can't just think about how long they've been there, but rather about handing over the reins.
"There's still a chance in the next two or three years," Sheng Jiahao said. "I'm just afraid there won't be another two or three years. Your leaders might have other considerations. Your unit has new hires every year, and there are many excellent people. There are people in different groups who can take over."
"Yes." Jiang Moli said, "I don't know the specific situation. I didn't ask."
"You don't need to ask." Sheng Jiahao said, "Your unit should have news soon. That play should still be airing."
"Yes, we are still performing, and we will continue to perform for a while. We can't stop performing so soon." Jiang Moli said, "Our opera is not like movies, which are released in theaters for a month or two and then withdrawn. We are real performances, performed on stage, and each play can be performed for several years. Sometimes, when we don't perform, other groups will take over. This is all for the purpose of maximizing profits. There are not many good scripts, and it is impossible for every script to become a hit."
"That person will probably only star in this one play and there will be no future for him," said Sheng Jiahao.
Jiang Moli looked at Sheng Jiahao, "This play..."
"It's almost done." Sheng Jiahao said, "My age is there, and if I can't make progress, I'll just go backwards."
"That's possible." Jiang Moli nodded, "I also need to step back. I still have a few years."
No matter how successful Jiang Moli is, she has to be prepared to step back given her age.
Just as Sheng Jiahao had said, the company really didn't plan to give that person any other new roles. It wasn't that the company didn't give that person a chance. They had given him so many chances, but still got the same result. If he couldn't move forward, he would have to retreat.
As your fame declines, ticket prices will also be refunded. It’s time to make preparations when the time is right.
That person has no choice but to withdraw, even if she says she has been shortlisted, but it is a fact that she is on the decline.
Just because the leader didn’t say something doesn’t mean everyone doesn’t know about it.
Jiang Moli heard what Qiao Yuwei said, and she also heard what others said. She didn't know if it was to save face or for some other reason, but some people said that the lead actor himself wanted to step back.
Recently, He Jingxian has starred in two TV series, one of which is about a vicious stepmother and the other is about a mother. He Jingxian often plays this type of drama now, but her age is too high, and if she wants to play other dramas, the crew also thinks she is not suitable.
He Jingxian's husband, Wu Yicheng, opened a martial arts school in South City, specializing in martial arts training and recruiting many students. Wu Yicheng spent a lot of time in South City, while He Jingxian would go out whenever she was notified and stay in South City when she was not.
He Jingxian's adopted daughter, Wu You, was still learning to sing opera, and she was studying very hard. When He Jingxian returned to Nancheng, she would test her adopted daughter to see how good she was. If she didn't perform well, He Jingxian would say a few words.
"Should we let her continue to study opera?" Wu Yicheng and He Jingxian stayed in the room. Wu Yicheng asked He Jingxian in a low voice. It was not that he did not want to spend more money on his adopted daughter, but was studying opera a good way out for his adopted daughter?
He Jingxian herself didn't even sing it, but went off to act. So will Wu You be able to sing it in the future?
It wasn't that Wu Yicheng looked down on their adopted daughter; it was that Wu You was rather ordinary-looking, not particularly dignified or beautiful. Someone like Wu You was more suited to supporting roles, as was generally the case in TV dramas and movies. If it were an opera, the makeup used in operas would be much thicker, and perhaps Wu You could even look more beautiful with it.
"Keep learning." He Jingxian said, "If you can learn it, then learn it. If you can't, then you can just act in TV dramas in the future."
"Her face is not suitable for the leading role." Wu Yicheng said.
"Then she'll be just like me," He Jingxian said. "I see her grades aren't very good either. She's in the middle to lower half of the class. If she continues like this, she'll probably have a hard time achieving anything in the future."
He Jingxian was thinking that it would have been better if they had adopted a smarter and more beautiful child. However, He Jingxian didn't think so much at the time. She just wanted to adopt a well-behaved child so that she wouldn't have to take care of the child so much and keep an eye on the child every day.
"Okay." Wu Yicheng nodded.
Wu Yicheng is not very close to his adopted daughter. Because they are of different genders, Wu Yicheng still has to be careful.
Miao Guifeng and his wife decided to let Yang Tianlang repeat his studies. Yang Tianlang thought it was a good idea to repeat his studies. He wouldn't have to work and could still be a student. As for whether he could pass the college entrance examination, that wasn't a big deal. Yang Tianlang knew some people who had repeated their studies for many years.
There is money for the son to repeat the grade, but there is no money for the daughter to go to junior high school. This is what Miao Guifeng and his wife do.
Miao Guifeng and his wife didn't care whether Daya would be unhappy or not. It was their money, and they could do whatever they wanted with it. Sanya was still in school. She was the youngest, and her grades were pretty good, not particularly bad. Miao Guifeng didn't want others to say she was treating her daughter badly, so she didn't let Sanya drop out of school.
In front of others, Miao Guifeng would say that Daya and Erya's academic performance was poor because they didn't want to go to school. Sanya wanted to study and would even clamor for it.
Sanya was yelling because of Erya. Erya told Sanya to cry, saying that crying children get milk. Before leaving, Erya repeatedly emphasized to Sanya not to be like Daya, saying Daya was beyond saving and would be sold by her parents in the future, and Daya would be grateful to them. Sanya was the youngest, and crying might get her a different treatment.
Sanya wanted to study, so Miao Guifeng didn't let Sanya do more work, but let Daya do more. This was mainly because Daya did more when Erya was around. Miao Guifeng had long been accustomed to letting Daya do the work instead of Sanya.
"If you had taken good care of your brother and not tormented him like that, he wouldn't have had to repeat the year." At the dinner table, Miao Guifeng continued to say this, "Daya, don't think that just because we care about your brother, we don't care about you. If you had good grades and were the pillars of the family, you could continue your studies. Unfortunately, you are nothing, with poor academic performance and can't support the family. You can only do more work at home and learn more so that when you get married, you can live a better life."
“…” Daya was eating white rice.
Miao Guifeng had no plans for Daya to marry so soon. Daya wasn't yet of marriageable age, and most importantly, her house hadn't been demolished yet. She couldn't marry until after the demolition. Her household registration couldn't be moved out at that point, and she couldn't let anyone else compete for the compensation.
"Your brother and sister are both studying." Miao Guifeng said, "You have to do your job well, understand?"
"Yeah." Daya nodded.
"When your brother and sister become successful, they will help you in the future." Miao Guifeng said, "Before that, you have to help them more. That's the only way. If you don't help them, they won't be able to help you in the future."
Yang Tianlang went to repeat his grade. Daya didn't dare to say much and continued to work hard at the housework.
Miao Guifeng didn't care whether Daya was tired or not. She only knew that Daya was a girl and had to do housework.
At her age, Daya was in the prime of her youth. She worked a lot at home and felt depressed. A young man from the neighborhood had a good relationship with Daya, and after a few visits, the two of them had sex.
Once, when Daya was cooking, she vomited.
Miao Guifeng didn't think Daya was pregnant, as she rarely took Daya to the hospital.
The doctor asked Daya if she had sex. Miao Guifeng frowned, "Our daughter is still a virgin. Why are you asking? I've already told you. Why are you still asking her? Can't I just give her some anti-emetics? If there's any inflammation, I can prescribe some anti-inflammatory drugs."
Before Daya's period came, she had some bleeding. Others asked Miao Guifeng to bring the child to see a doctor, so Miao Guifeng brought Daya to see a doctor.
"Let's do an ultrasound first," said the doctor.
"Why do we need an ultrasound?" Miao Guifeng was unwilling to spend more money on Daya.
"Are you here for medical treatment?" the doctor asked. "Do you understand, or do I?"
The doctors were speechless. They had often encountered parents who said that their children were well-behaved and that their children could not have those problems... But after the test results came out, those parents were slapped in the face. Things were completely different from what the parents thought.
Daya hadn't dared to speak, and was even a little frightened. This made the doctor even more suspicious of what had happened to Daya, and he decided to check first. Test results wouldn't lie, and besides, it wasn't just a single test.
Miao Guifeng was extremely unhappy and took Daya to pay for the check-up. She got angry just looking at Daya.
"Why did you get sick when you were fine?" Miao Guifeng said, "Saya and you shared a room during the New Year. Sanya doesn't have that many problems, but you have a lot of things to do."
"..." Daya was silent for a while. She was a little scared. She looked at her mother and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Mom, let's go back."
"You've already paid, what are you going to do back?" Miao Guifeng asked, "If I don't let you get the checkup, those people will say I'm not treating you well, that I only care about your brother and not you. You've already paid, and you can't get your money back, so why bother going back for the checkup?"
Miao Guifeng was extremely unhappy. She really didn't want to spend so much money on Daya. Daya was really pregnant!
When Miao Guifeng saw the test report, she couldn't believe her eyes. Miao Guifeng took Daya to see a doctor. She thought the hospital must have made a mistake. How could Daya be pregnant?
"Both the ultrasound and the tests show that your daughter is pregnant," the doctor said. "This is an indisputable fact. Do you want this child?"
"Want a child?" Miao Guifeng felt it was ridiculous. How could Daya be pregnant at this time? Daya had never been pregnant at this time in her previous life.
Miao Guifeng looked at Daya. How could Daya be pregnant? Daya was not even of legal marriage age. Miao Guifeng wanted Daya to do more. If others knew that Daya was pregnant, how would they look at them?
"The baby is not too old yet. If it is any bigger, it will be difficult to abort and it will hurt your body," the doctor said frankly.
"Let's go back first." Miao Guifeng didn't want to make a scene in the hospital. The evidence was right in front of her, and Daya didn't say she wasn't pregnant, which made Miao Guifeng feel bad.
"You two go back and discuss it," said the doctor.
Miao Guifeng took Daya back home. The two of them walked on the road, and Daya didn't dare to speak all the way. Daya didn't expect that there was a baby in her belly. Should she give birth to this child?
Miao Guifeng became even angrier when she saw Daya stroking her belly.
"Daya, do you know what you're doing?" Miao Guifeng asked, "How old are you? You're messing around with a man. Who is that man?"
"mom……"
"If you call me mom, you have to tell me these things." Miao Guifeng said, "Don't ask me to investigate. Who is the father of the child? Do you still want to be with him? Or have you been deceived?"
"I wasn't deceived, I did it voluntarily." Daya said in a low voice.
Miao Guifeng slapped Daya directly, "How shameless!"
"Mom." Daya covered her cheeks, feeling very uncomfortable.
"I'm so pissed off," Miao Guifeng said angrily. "I asked you to do some small things at home and didn't even let you go out to work, yet you did something so disgusting. You're a girl, but you don't know how to be reserved or protect yourself. I might as well have given birth to a child like you."
“…” Daya didn’t dare to speak.
"How old are you? Are you so eager to get married?" Miao Guifeng asked, "Who have you fallen for? You're just dating without telling your family. Aren't you afraid that they won't want you?"
The more Miao Guifeng thought about it, the angrier she got. Daya was so ignorant and abominable. Miao Guifeng had originally thought Erya was bad, but now it seemed Daya wasn't much better.
Daya returned to her home, but before she even went in, she felt like vomiting again. She quickly leaned against the wall and vomited, but nothing came out.
"Could she be pregnant?" Aunt Zhao, who was passing by, saw this scene. The first thing Aunt Zhao thought of was that Daya was pregnant, as only pregnant women would have such symptoms.
