Therefore, Ye Wenyu suddenly interrupted the hotel manager and said decisively, "Manager, I'd rather not be a hostess anymore. Thank you for your high regard, but I'm a student and should focus on my studies."
No matter how much the manager tried to persuade her, Ye Wenyu insisted on her own opinion. In the end, the manager thought she was stupid and hopeless, so he waved his hand, paid her the remaining wages, and told her to get out of the hotel as soon as possible.
Ye Wenyu left happily.
However, even though she was no longer working as a hotel waitress, life had to go on, and she needed to spend money every day. Helpless, Ye Wenyu had to find another tutoring job from Monday to Friday evenings. There were three tutoring jobs in total: one for Saturday, one for Sunday, and this one for Monday to Friday evenings. Moreover, this tutoring job was quite late because parents nowadays are desperate to make their children successful. Therefore, the elementary school students she taught had to have piano lessons and could only come to her for Chinese tutoring from 8 pm to 9 pm, an hour long. By the time she packed her bags and left the employer's house, it was usually around 9:30 pm. This was the routine every night.
Is she tired? Of course she is. Fatigue is like a heavy lead weight, pressing down on her head, her chest, and her back every day. But she has to earn her own living, and there is no one to help her. She can only carry the burden slowly.
Sometimes, when she returned to the dormitory, exhausted from her journey, her roommates were already in bed playing WeChat or mobile games, while she felt as if her bones were about to fall apart, her legs felt like they were filled with lead, her limbs ached, and her head was heavy. The contrast between them made her feel miserable. When she was washing up alone in the bathroom, she wanted to cry. However, she had heard that crying alone would only make her more depressed. In fact, she experienced this a few times and found that this was indeed the result. Later, she stopped crying and gritted her teeth and persevered. Every day, she felt that she couldn't go on, but every day, she struggled to keep going.
Seeing that she, a student, was taking on three tutoring jobs, while her roommates, who had complete families and were loved by their parents, couldn't understand it, they mocked her as a money-grubber who was obsessed with money.
Ye Wenyu didn't want to explain herself to such misunderstandings and ridicule. If she revealed the truth that she was homeless and helpless, they might look down on her even more and laugh at her even more. So she remained silent. In fact, out of a sense of self-protection, she kept a certain distance from her roommates. In this way, in her roommates' eyes, she seemed aloof and arrogant. Gradually, she became the one who was collectively ostracized in the dormitory.
Ye Wenyu didn't want to face this situation, but she was tormented by the harsh realities of life and could only watch helplessly as she was ostracized and despised. She was anxious but powerless to do anything about it.
Time passed day by day, day after day, and before she knew it, summer had turned into autumn. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the wind felt like sharp steel knives against her skin. She had no thick clothes to keep warm. She wanted to buy herself a new cotton coat, but she couldn't bear to spend the money. It was getting dark earlier and earlier. When she came out of the house of the tutoring employer, the night was so dark that she couldn't see her hand in front of her face. There were hardly any people on the street. It felt like a scene of desolation for passersby. The dim streetlights sometimes left her all alone on the street. Such a scene was frightening.
Because many news reports have shown her that young and beautiful girls can be in danger walking alone at night!
She didn't want to walk alone at night. She also wanted to stay at school all day, like her roommate, either in the classroom or the dormitory, a place that was absolutely safe. But if she didn't go out to earn money, she wouldn't have anything to eat next month.
So despite her fear, Ye Wenyu could only grit her teeth and persevere.
Sure enough, something bad happened that night!
