Chapter 254: Poor Princess (Part 3)
The original owner, Gu Qingcheng, had parents who were ordinary people from the lower class.
My father runs a small restaurant. My mother would go to help him during meal times. At other times, she would do housework and take care of the elderly at home.
The family lives in a village in the city.
In fact, the Gu family’s conditions are not too bad. At least the house is their own.
They are not migrant workers, but local residents.
Unfortunately, he didn't make it in time for the demolition. Grandpa Gu was timid and didn't dare to show off, let alone borrow money.
When everyone in the village was building additional floors for their houses, he only built two floors.
The neighbors around here all have five- or six-story self-built buildings, and the rent alone can bring in 20,000 to 30,000 yuan each month.
When Grandpa Gu regretted his decision and wanted to add to his house, the neighborhood committee no longer allowed it.
I can only look at the building and sigh.
A large urban village with a row of tall buildings.
Only the Gu family has only three floors.
The first floor is used to run a small restaurant, the second floor is used for living, and the third floor is rented out.
There are four tenants, and the rent is less than two thousand yuan per month, which is not enough to cover the family's monthly expenses.
In addition to their daughter Gu Qingcheng, Gu's parents also have a son, Gu Sinian.
Gu Qingcheng is a sophomore at a university in this city, and Gu Sinian is a senior this year and is about to take the college entrance examination.
The tuition, miscellaneous fees, living expenses and other expenses for two children cost more than 100,000 yuan a year.
Above them, there are two elderly people, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu.
Gu's mother's family was also in a mess. Her parents favored boys over girls and left their property to their son. But when they got old, they didn't rely on their son, but needed their married daughter to take care of them.
The elderly on both sides are old and have various geriatric diseases and underlying diseases.
Medical expenses alone are a huge expense every month.
Taking care of your parents means you have elderly parents and young children to take care of, and both require money and you can’t save money - between the hospital and the school, which one can you bargain with?
Therefore, the Gu family lived in extreme poverty.
In order to collect more rent, Gu's father had to reduce his family's living space and squeezed out two rental rooms on the second floor.
Gu Qingcheng was a girl, so it was better for her because she had a separate small room reserved for her.
My younger brother Gu Sinian simply slept on the sofa in the living room.
Fortunately, he can live in a boarding school and only comes back on weekends.
Otherwise, this family of six would not be able to make ends meet in three and a half rooms! Even so, Gu Qingcheng, who owned half a room, always felt like she couldn't breathe.
Her room was separated from the original living room.
This was originally a balcony. When Gu's father was trying to compress the space, he felt sorry for his daughter, so he separated some space from the living room, opened up the balcony, and created a small single room.
There is a street outside the window, with people and cars coming and going, and it is very noisy.
At three o'clock in the morning, there were still people eating skewers and barbecue outside.
The dazzling lights of the cheap signboards, the brainwashing slogans of the two-dollar store "Don't miss it if you pass by", and the sounds of scolding children, beating wives, scolding husbands, and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law swearing at each other, as if there is only a wall between them...
People say that the villages in the city are very lively and seem to be full of life.
But only when you live in it, you will know that urban villages mean noise and chaos.
There are many tenants with complex composition.
Outsiders who have just come to the city, small vendors, migrant workers, or newly graduated college students, and even some petty thieves and young ladies from foot massage shops! Gu Qingcheng was extremely disgusted with living in such an environment since childhood.
She is pretty and good at studying. She has been the child of other people's families since kindergarten.
When he grew up, he was admitted to the best university in the province with the second highest score in the city, which brought great honor to his parents.
As a woman with beauty and talent, Gu Qingcheng has every reason to be proud.
She is like a noble little princess, always holding her head high like a swan.
However, the poverty of her original family tortured Gu Qingcheng.
Especially after going to university and entering a small society, Gu Qingcheng began to feel the gap between the rich and the poor.
My roommates always talk about wintersweets and poplar forests.
Before she went to college, she had never worn makeup and didn't know about so many international brands.
There are also classmates in the next dormitory who are dressed in branded clothes from head to toe.
Gu Qingcheng simply couldn't imagine that just a simple T-shirt would cost hundreds of dollars.
He wasn't showing off his wealth on purpose, but the casual attitude of not treating money as money stimulated Gu Qingcheng even more.
"Why? I'm obviously prettier and better at studying, but I'm still not as good as them!"
You really can’t blame Gu Qingcheng for being vain. In fact, human nature is vain.
At best, some people are able to control their desires, while others become slaves to their desires.
Gu Qingcheng is the latter.
She is proud of her beauty and intelligence, but feels inferior because of her family's financial difficulties.
She longs for a better life, but reality always pours cold water on her.
The node that Gu Qingcheng came from was quite good. The original owner just felt the magic of money and had some small thoughts.
But her values and bottom line remain.
When faced with the pursuit of some boys, she would not resort to flirting with them just because of her looks.
She refused to accept gifts and did not easily agree to boys' invitations. Within less than two years of entering college, she had become a campus goddess who was chaste, cold and noble.
If the original owner could maintain this personality, perhaps she could achieve her wish—marry into a wealthy family! Achieve class advancement through marriage! Unfortunately, the original owner was destined to be unable to achieve this wish.
Because Gu Qingcheng learned from the memories of the original owner that the original owner had begun to surrender to material enjoyment.
She was obsessed with designer brands and her vanity was growing.
She screened the "spare tires" in a targeted manner and selected a good potential stock——
Zou Kai, the rich second generation from the management college next door!
Zou Kai is also a sophomore and entered the school in the same year as Gu Qingcheng.
At the beginning of his freshman year, Zou Kai caused a small sensation.
His parents drove him to school in a Rolls-Royce.
In order to make it easier for him to study and socialize, he bought a large apartment of more than 200 square meters near S University.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
A student lives in an apartment of more than 200 square meters and has a nanny to take care of him.
Tsk tsk, judging from this, Zou Kai’s family should have entered the ranks of billionaires.
At that time, the original owner did not think too much, but participated in military training like an ordinary student.
During military training, the original owner showed off her special talents and quickly became famous for her good looks and her waist-bending dance moves.
All freshmen know that there is a beautiful girl who can dance in the Chinese Language and Literature major.
Zou Kai was also attracted to Gu Qingcheng and began to pursue her vigorously.
The original owner was both terrified and proud.
Her vanity as a woman was greatly satisfied.
On one side, there is the brand-name enjoyment of the roommate, and on the other side, there is the high-profile pursuit of the rich second-generation who is rich and good-looking. The original owner gradually feels lost.
Although she has not finally agreed to Zou Kai's pursuit, but in recent times, she has begun to reluctantly accept the jewelry, bags and clothes sent by Zou Kai!
The several sets of perfume placed in the simple wardrobe at the end of the bed were given to her by Zou Kai.
Gu Qingcheng: ...
Silly girl, once you accept something from someone else, it's easy to fall into bad ways.
And the second generation of rich people like Zou Kai are not the stupid sons of landlords. They have brains and are almost paranoid about love.
Reject gold-diggers, only sincere people! The original owner was confused by the situation, and she didn't even notice that Zou Kai's eyes had changed when he looked at her.
The initial enthusiasm and infatuation are gone, but there is more hesitation and scrutiny.
Even if Zou Kai himself did not realize the original owner's greed and vanity, Zou Kai's roommates and brothers should have reminded him!
And Zou Kai's parents——
And once Zou Kai finds out that the original owner is no different from those women who sell themselves for money, he will treat her like a piece of trash.
Not only will the original owner’s dream of marrying into a wealthy family be shattered, she will also become a gold digger despised by everyone!
With a bad reputation, it would be even more impossible for the original owner to catch a rich husband!
If one doesn't handle it well, he or she may end up as a socialite.
Gu Qingcheng doesn't even need to understand the plot. Just by looking at the way the original owner and Zou Kai get along, as well as the original owner's contradictory personality of inferiority and pride, you can guess her ending!
The troublemaker jumped out, "Your Majesty, you are right! Girls should still respect themselves! You can't just take other people's things casually just because you are pretty."
"Just like the original heroine next door, before she fell, she was a strong girl who was self-reliant and self-reliant."
"Mo Qichen is a domineering CEO. When he met the original heroine, he was also the only son of the richest man. He is much richer than Zou Kai."
"As for the original heroine, her family background is not as good as Gu Qingcheng's. Her father is dead, her mother has kidney failure, and she has a brother who loves to get into trouble. This is a perfect setting for a grassroots heroine in a domineering boss novel!"
"But no matter how difficult her family was, the original heroine always found ways to solve the problem herself. She never wanted Mo Qichen's money or things!"
"It was this self-respect, self-love, self-reliance and independence that completely moved Mo Qichen. Mo Qichen abandoned his well-matched, wealthy, beautiful fiancée who graduated from a prestigious school and chose the original heroine who came from a poor family, had mediocre talents and was reckless!"
The troublemaker kept talking.
Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but frown slightly.
Is Huoshui, this little idiot, praising the original heroine, or is he scolding the hero for being blind and heartless?
He doesn't want a legitimate fiancée who is well-matched with him and graduated from a prestigious university, but instead wants a grassroots girl who has nothing?
Is this a slut or a fool? There is something wrong with your brain!
However, through Huoshui's narration, Gu Qingcheng roughly understood the original owner's position—the control group of the original heroine!
Both of them came from the lower class, but one was not moved by money, while the other became a slave to money.
The original owner's ending should be as tragic as Gu Qingcheng speculated.
After all, she is the control group of the original heroine.
The more miserable her life is, the more it contrasts with the happiness of the original heroine.
Although this is a story about the supporting female character's counterattack, the original female lead may be in trouble.
However, this should not have much to do with the original owner that Gu Qingcheng traveled through.
Otherwise, the original owner would not have taken out soul fragments as a reward and asked the executor to fulfill her wish! "Who said you can't take other people's things at will?"
"Besides, the original owner didn't just take it casually. Zou Kai is her suitor. If he wants to win her favor, he has to pay something!"
"Otherwise, why did the original owner choose Zou Kai among so many suitors?"
Survival of the fittest? To pursue a girl, you have to pay!
As a person with a failing character, Gu Qingcheng was justified in talking about "three incorrect views" !
