Chapter 9: The cub has turned evil?
Xu Yao rolled her eyes secretly when she saw Xu Lanxiang standing on tiptoe for fear of getting her shoes dirty.
Old Man Xu was just an ordinary old man from the countryside. Except for Xu Weidong, the entire Xu family consisted of farmers who depended on the weather for their livelihood and could not save much money throughout the year. There is no doubt that the pair of leather shoes on Xu Lanxiang's feet were bought by Xu Weidong.
The original body had always felt resentful that Xu Weidong paid no attention to herself but doted on her cousin, and often asked Xu Lanxiang what she had done wrong. Xu Lanxiang comforted her warmly while "inadvertently" showing the original body how much Xu Weidong loved her.
It's strange to say, but over the years, the original body did not blame Xu Weidong for being partial. Instead, she brainwashed herself, thinking that she was not as capable as Xu Xianglan, and it was normal that her biological father liked Xu Xianglan more! Therefore, he obeyed Xu Lanxiang's words and did many extreme and crazy things.
Xu Yao is different from her original self. She has always believed in the idea that it is better to blame others than to blame herself. She doesn't care about Xu Lanxiang's little thoughts at all.
She stood up and straightened her clothes. "Are you all waiting for me? Let's go."
"Are you going just like this without dressing up?" Xu Lanxiang was surprised.
Xu Yao loosened her braids casually and said confidently, "No need. If you have a good face, you'll look good even if you wear a sack. If you're ugly, you'll look like a beggar even if you wear a golden dress."
"I've thought it through. Doesn't the deputy director know what my family's conditions are? Why should I pretend to be rich? It's good for me to wear some tattered clothes now. When we get along well, I can ask him to buy me some more clothes and then lend them to you."
Xu Lanxiang has a typical appearance of the Xu family, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. If it were a man, it would be considered handsome and strong, but it would not be suitable for a woman, especially a square face, which would make her look dull.
To be fair, Xu Lanxiang was not ugly, and could be considered heroic and dashing. However, compared with her original bright and beautiful face, she looked like a maidservant carrying shoes.
Xu Lanxiang frowned. Why did she feel like there was something else behind Xu Yao's words, as if she was implying that she was ugly? Maybe I was overthinking it. Xu Yao didn't have the brains to make innuendos.
If Xu Yao doesn't dress up, then the ten dollars she gave her will be wasted, right?
As for Xu Yao's suggestion of lending her clothes, Xu Lanxiang laughed in her heart. If she just beckons her finger, the deputy factory director will buy her clothes. Does she really need Xu Yao to lend them to her? It's just that she doesn't like old men who are married for the second time.
With a hidden sense of superiority, Xu Lanxiang did not care about the ten dollars that Xu Yao had cheated her out of. She smiled and took Xu Yao's arm, and the two were about to walk out of the house.
Xu Jiaan suddenly shouted towards Xu Yao's back, "Mom..." Are you going to leave me?
The latter sentence was too unmanly. He grabbed his clothes and couldn't ask it no matter what.
Xu Yao, "!"
A few days after she came here, Xu Jiaan called her mom for the first time!
Xu Yao looked at Xu Jiaan's misty black eyes, which were like those of a young animal, and her heart softened. Considering that Xu Lanxiang was here, she did not say it too obviously.
"You should stay home and rest. Don't run around. If I come back early, I will make you lunch. If I come back late, you can eat at your grandma's house."
Anyway, I won't ignore you.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home."
Xu Jiaan smiled while tugging at his clothes, a dark light flickering in his beautiful dark eyes.
Xu Yao, you'd better keep your word and don't lie to me, otherwise, I will tie you up and bring you back!
The little boy looked well-behaved and calm, with his hair lying softly against his face. No one could guess how many dark and dirty thoughts were hidden under his calm face.
-
The plastic sisters returned to the old house together. Old man Xu sat on a stool in the main room smoking a pipe, and Xu Xiangbei sat next to him. The two listened attentively to Xu Weidong talking about things in the county town.
Even though they have heard it countless times, they never get tired of it.
Rural people of this era have a natural obsession with city people. They yearn for the city's light bulbs, tap water, commercial grain, etc.
Old Mrs. Xu lay on the floor of the house rented by Xu Weidong for a whole night before she died, and the smile on her face before she closed her eyes was full of satisfaction.
Xu Yao didn't listen to their nonsense. She turned around and started talking to Liu Mei who was carrying a hoe and preparing to go to her private plot.
Liu Mei grabbed Xu Yao's hand with concern and warned her gently, "Your father is a stubborn person. When you go to the county with him, you must be more careful and try to protect yourself. Don't believe everything others say. If you really encounter any problems... just call your father, he will not ignore you."
Xu Yao nodded repeatedly, "It rained last night and Jia'an got gonorrhea. If you have time, go see him. If I can't come back at noon, can you give him an extra pair of chopsticks?"
“You, what are you doing...?” Liu Mei was shocked.
She was also worried about what would happen to her grandson after her daughter and the deputy factory director got together. After all, her daughter had always been very mean to her grandson. If he had a good future, her daughter would definitely abandon him without blinking an eye.
But now you actually care about your grandson?
Xu Yao blinked, "I was thinking the wrong thing before. The child is innocent. He shouldn't pay for his father's mistakes."
"It's good that you have thought it through. I'll watch over Jia'an." Liu Mei smiled with tears in her eyes. Jia'an was such a pitiful child. Fortunately, her daughter had thought it through, and Jia'an finally got her happy ending after all the suffering she had endured.
As for the deputy factory director's comment that she couldn't bring her child to marry, she never believed that the deputy factory director would like her daughter, so she just thought of it as going to the county town to see the world.
The No. 1 Middle School in the county has two days off every half month. Xu Lanxiang usually lives in the school dormitory. Today is her school day. When she comes back, she rides Xu Weidong's bicycle. Now that Xu Yao has left and there is another person, the bicycle can no longer accommodate her.
Xu Lanxiang generously gave up the back seat and said, "Uncle, please give me a ride first. Don't delay my sister's important life event. I can walk to school by myself."
Xu Weidong would rather take care of his niece than his cowardly and shameful daughter, but his daughter has more important things to do right now. Xu Weidong looked at his sensible niece with a look of satisfaction, "Walk faster, don't delay the class."
"I know." Xu Lanxiang said obediently, "Thank you for your concern, uncle. When I get into college, I will give you a jeep. Then our whole family can ride in it and no one will be left behind."
"Then I still have to learn how to drive." A smile appeared on Xu Weidong's dark face.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yao's mouth twitched.
Isn’t it just about getting into university?
The teachers who taught her were all famous teachers who were admitted to the top universities in the country through the college entrance examination. If she hadn't come here at the wrong time and missed the preliminary examination in May and couldn't take part in this year's college entrance examination, they would have been determined to step on Xu Lanxiang no matter what.
Xu Yao jumped onto the back seat, holding onto the handlebars with her two tender little white hands. Xu Weidong talked freely to other people, but he was too lazy to say a single word to his own daughter.
The images that the world consciousness showed Xu Yao were not comprehensive. Most of them revolved around the original body and the people and events that caused Xu Jiaan to turn evil. There was not much about Xu Weidong.
Xu Yao was very curious whether Xu Weidong was selling his daughter for love. If it was true, well, she would never let such a scumbag father go.
