Chapter 255: People Leave and Tea Gets Cold
How could I hear such news at this critical moment?
A few days ago, Zhang Yunjuan scolded her in front of everyone, saying that she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman.
She was so angry that she retorted.
"What about you? The daughter of a money-grubber is so noble?"
At that time, I was just trying to be tough, and I never expected that those angry words would come true.
Ruan Chuxia knew it very well.
In fact, long before this matter was completely exposed, she had already vaguely realized that sooner or later there would be problems with the Zhang family.
An ordinary cadre only earns 70 or 80 yuan a month.
How could one possibly support such a luxurious lifestyle?
Zhang Yunjuan's mother came to pick her up from school with a watch on her wrist.
That watch would cost at least five or six hundred yuan, maybe even over a thousand.
Besides, on the first day of school, Zhang Yunjuan's mother's dress was particularly eye-catching.
These details are enough to show that the Zhang family's wealth is not obtained through legitimate means.
And now, the rumors have finally become reality.
Gu Jiali didn't say anything more; that was all she knew.
The two walked back to the dormitory in silence.
By this time, Zhang Yunjuan had recovered and was packing her things silently with her head down.
When he heard the door open and saw it was Ruan Chuxia, he immediately looked away.
The arrogance and arrogance of the past are now gone.
Fortunately, Ruan Chuxia didn't say much and continued to pack the rest of the luggage.
Her silence was more oppressive than any words.
Xiao Zhiyu stood at the door and glanced inside the room.
His gaze finally fell on Ruan Chuxia.
He knew that some things did not need to be spoken out loud, it was enough to understand them.
After packing up, Ruan Chuxia and Xiao Zhiyu left together.
After walking out of the building, Xiao Zhiyu finally couldn't help asking, "What happened in the dormitory? What happened?"
He knew that Ruan Chuxia would not remain silent for no reason.
Ruan Chuxia smiled and said, "Something happened to Zhang Yunjuan's father. I heard he was arrested for corruption."
The smile was not malicious, but it contained a hint of alienation and indifference.
Xiao Zhiyu raised his eyebrows: "Is she going to end her studies early?"
He recalled Zhang Yunjuan's look of lowering her head and moving in a panic, and guessed something in his mind.
Ruan Chuxia shrugged: "Who knows. Even if I want to leave, I won't be able to leave for a while."
To her, it doesn't matter what Zhang Yunjuan is like.
To put it bluntly, she didn't take this person seriously at all.
A few days later, Gu Jiali met Ruan Chuxia in the cafeteria.
He came over and whispered about what had happened recently.
It is said that from that day on.
Zhang Yunjuan no longer dared to walk sideways in the dormitory.
I don't dare to order people around anymore.
The whole person became cautious.
She clung to the last bit of dignity.
Wearing neat brand-name clothes, with a faint smile on his face, he tried to maintain his former image.
Then one day when I walked into the classroom, I suddenly heard someone sneer and say:
"Why are you so arrogant? Her father is in jail, a money-grubber! Now that the news hasn't spread, she should just behave herself. If she dares to show off again, I'll immediately discredit her! She always looks down on everyone, but does she really think she's so noble? Let her know what it means to be ignored!"
Every word of that voice pierced Zhang Yunjuan's ears like a knife.
At that moment, her disguise completely collapsed.
When Gu Jiali recounted these words, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.
As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing and her shoulders shook slightly.
You can't blame her for gloating. Zhang Yunjuan's previous behavior would have annoyed anyone.
No one in the dormitory likes her, but they are angry but dare not speak out.
Not long after, Zhang Yunjuan finished her training early and left.
Later I heard that her father was sentenced.
Her mother remarried shortly after her husband was imprisoned.
Zhang Yunjuan never returned to her workplace, and no one knew where she went.
Ruan Chuxia was busy adapting to the sudden change in her pace of life.
I wake up every morning feeling nauseous, dizzy, and weak in my limbs. I even vomit stomach acid when brushing my teeth.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was May.
Ruan Chuxia gained weight and her belly also bulged out.
She stood in front of the mirror and finally felt that she looked a little bit pregnant.
When the neighbors saw her, they also started to greet her with smiles.
"Oh, this belly looks like it's pregnant. It must be a big fat boy!"
Guo Huaqin came to see her every now and then, and each time she came she carried a cloth bag.
These are foods that are hard to find in the market.
In that era of material scarcity, it must have taken a lot of effort to get these things.
Guo Huaqin is also a mother of two children, and she has a lot of housework and children to take care of.
It's really not easy to remember to come and see her.
Unfortunately, Ruan Chuxia had no appetite at all.
She sat on a small stool, looking at the shiny bacon, her stomach churning.
"Sister, please take it away quickly. I really can't eat it. I want to vomit when I smell it."
Guo Huaqin sighed with heartache.
"You can't do this. The child needs nutrition. You have to eat something, even if you have to force it in."
Ruan Chuxia just shook her head.
I don’t know why, but this baby has a particularly strong reaction and vomits everything he eats.
Xiao Zhiyu specially cooked red date millet porridge and added brown sugar.
The next second, he rushed into the kitchen with his mouth covered.
I feel like vomiting as soon as I smell the slightest fishy smell.
One time, my neighbor was packing the crucian carp he had just bought in the corridor.
As soon as Ruan Chuxia opened the door, her face turned pale instantly and she vomited all over the floor beside the bed.
Xiao Zhiyu quickly closed the windows, mopped the floor, and sprayed floral water.
I feel like vomiting when I smell something strange.
She couldn't even stand the cheap shaving cream that Xiao Zhiyu used to shave in the morning.
He had no choice but to use clean water to scrape.
Later, I couldn’t even stand the smell of flowers; I would feel sick at the first whiff.
Aunt Wang downstairs has a balcony full of jasmine and tuberose, and the fragrance can waft up from several floors away.
Ruan Chuxia originally liked the taste very much.
But now, as soon as I smell a little bit of it, I feel extremely nauseous.
Once she couldn't bear it any longer and ran downstairs to ask Aunt Wang to move the flowers away.
Aunt Wang looked aggrieved.
"I've been raising this flower for several years, and I haven't provoked you. Is it that serious?"
The two almost got into a quarrel, and Xiao Zhiyu rushed over to apologize.
I also helped move the flower pot to a corner sheltered from the wind, and the situation was finally settled.
He was a man who was originally quite strong, but was tortured to the point that his face turned pale, his lips became dry, and there were faint blue shadows under his eye sockets.
I couldn't sleep well at night and tossed and turned.
He wakes up at the slightest movement, vomits when he wakes up, falls asleep again after vomiting, and wakes up again after falling asleep.
Xiao Zhiyu felt so distressed when he saw this.
In addition to vomiting violently, Ruan Chuxia's temper also became more and more irritable.
She used to be gentle, spoke softly, and never argued with anyone.
But now, if things don't go his way, he'll get angry, and his tone will be harsh and aggressive.
Xiao Zhiyu had just returned home, with a tired look on his face.
Ruan Chuxia hummed as soon as she saw him.
"I want to eat from that place, the one at the entrance of Shenzhen Old Street. The skin is crispy, the meat is tender, and the flavor is salty and fragrant... Go buy some now!"
He went out immediately.
I went to three vegetable markets and asked at several cooked food stalls before I found one that was barely decent.
He trotted all the way back, fearing that it would get cold and affect the taste.
Ruan Chuxia took a bite and suddenly her eyes turned red and she started sobbing.
After asking for a long time, I finally understood that she thought the chicken was not tasty and insisted on having the one from Shenzhen.
