Different times, different customs.
It’s like people many years ago, who would feel guilty after borrowing money from others and would not feel at ease until they paid the money back, but now... those who borrow money are all big shots!
It's probably the simple folk customs.
Therefore, even though Lin Xiaoman talked about a lot of unpredictable risks in the future, Zhixue still stubbornly believed that Jiang Fengwan would come back to marry her, and she put herself in the state of "Jiang Fengwan's wife".
The bald Lin Xiaoman drank the entire bottle of milk in one breath, then said realistically, "Xiaoxue, are you not going to study anymore?"
Zhiqiu suffered the pain of being uneducated!
But she had no choice. She started school late and had no foundation, so she couldn't keep up at all. In addition, she had to help Yao Jianfen with work. What's more, the original owner knew very well that Yao Jianfen could not afford to support the two of them to go to school alone. Instead of making her mother embarrassed, it would be better for her to withdraw and help her sister who was more talented in learning.
That's why the original owner chose to place his hopes on his younger sister Zhixue, supporting her studies and helping her to succeed.
What a pity, alas...
I'm so disappointed in you!
"I want to give birth to the child first..." Zhixue lowered her head, her voice filled with bewilderment. It was obvious that, apart from her obsession with giving birth to the child and raising him, she had no specific plans at all.
"Besides?" Lin Xiaoman's voice took on a sharp tone. "What about after the baby is born? Who will raise it? Will you still go to school? Or will you earn money to support the child? You're pregnant before marriage. What good job do you think you can find? Xiaoxue, you should know that people's words are scary. What will you do in the future?"
"Sister, I..." Zhixue was very persistent in her weakness and stubbornness towards this child. "Let's leave here and open a shop somewhere else. I can just say my husband is dead and no one will know. I can only support him as a child. It won't cost much."
Lin Xiaoman was speechless, but her expression was sincere as she persuaded him, "Xiaoxue, now is not like our time. Just giving her food to eat is enough. All the prenatal checkups before the birth cost money. The cost after the birth is even higher. Raising a child also costs money.
Besides, Dr. Liu said that if you want to give birth to him, you need to rest well. You rest yourself, so are you going to let Mom do all the work? Xiaoxue, it was not easy for Mom to raise the two of us. Mom suffered a lot in her early years, and her health has been bad for a long time. She can't work for a few more years. She sacrificed her health to make money!
What Lin Xiaoman said was absolutely true. She had taken Yao Jianfen's pulse a long time ago. Yao Jianfen's body had been damaged by the hard work in her early years. In a few years, all kinds of problems would appear one after another.
Of course, once she earns enough royalties, I will take good care of her.
"It won't make our mother suffer. As long as I give birth to him and finish my confinement, I can go back to work. I can work to support him. No matter how hard or tiring it is, I will earn money. I will earn money to support the child and will also be filial to our mother with you, sister." Zhixue's expression became firm, "Sister, I can definitely do it."
"Sister, please help me, I want to raise him, he is a life! The child is innocent! Please talk to mom for me, the money for giving birth to the child can be regarded as borrowed by me, I will pay it back later, I will definitely pay it back! This is my child, I can't lose him. If I can't even protect my own child, what's the point of me living? Sister, please help me persuade mom, I beg you..." Zhixue cried sadly, almost begging.
Lin Xiaoman just felt his head hurt even more.
From the original owner's memory, Lin Xiaoman had a guess that Zhixue actually suffered from postpartum depression. Yao Jianfen and Zhiqiu were both opposed to giving birth to Yao Xiaonian. Although the two compromised under Zhixue's threat of death, there were definitely a lot of verbal criticisms and accusations.
There were also many rumors, sarcasm, and people laughing at the jokes in the town. After all, the higher you stand, the harder you fall.
After giving birth to Yao Xiaonian, Zhixue's life was absolutely depressing and gloomy. She would cry while hugging Yao Xiaonian from time to time.
Year after year, Jiang Fengwan never showed up, and Zhixue was forced to get married. In desperation, she jumped into the river. Well, it really fits the description of postpartum depression.
So, 'What's the point of living' is definitely not just talk. If she lets things develop, Zhixue is very likely to commit suicide.
Although her mission would not fail even if Zhixue committed suicide, but... she guessed that the divine intention was that the original owner did not want to see his sister die.
Although there were many moments when the original owner really wanted to strangle Zhixue, the idiot, but... she was her biological sister!
If Zhixue died, there would be more of a desolate feeling of "the loved ones are sad and the enemies are happy".
It is a sad thing in itself that relatives who originally depended on each other turned against each other and became enemies.
And although Yao Jianfen is angry now, she is her daughter after all. In the end, she will probably compromise.
She could just let it go and let Ren Zhixue perish on her own, but Yao Jianfen, as a mother, would never be so heartless.
Hey, why do women have to make things difficult for other women!
so……
That's it! Lin Xiaoman quickly made a plan.
It's time to let Xiao Tianzhen see what it means to be 'evil in the human heart'!
"I'll go talk to Mom." Lin Xiaoman sighed helplessly, looking like he had no choice but to compromise.
"Sister, thank you. I...I, I failed to live up to your expectations. I'm sorry, but I can't give up my child. I..."
"Okay, okay, don't think too much. Sleep for a while and have a good rest. Your health is the most important." Lin Xiaoman comforted.
"Well, sister, you are so nice."
Lin Xiaoman: Yes, the original owner was really good to Zhixue!
If it were the original owner who was more petty, the first person to be killed would definitely be this stupid sister.
…
After comforting Zhixue upstairs, Lin Xiaoman went downstairs again.
Downstairs, Yao Jianfen was forcing a smile as another regular customer, who was buying steamed buns, chatted cheerfully, "Sister Yao, your daughter Zhixue's college entrance exam results are out, right? This means someone in the family is going to be a college student! Such a big event, we must treat everyone."
"We don't know the school's admission scores yet. This kid didn't do well on the test."
"What you said is true. Everyone in this town knows that your Zhixue is a good student. She is definitely the smartest person in our town. Don't be so modest."
What can I say? Yao Jianfen is speechless!
Not to mention others, even she herself couldn't believe that her Xiaoxue would not be able to get into university before hearing the scores!
Not only did I fail the test, but I also...
The careless questions from regular customers were like sharp knives, stabbing Yao Jianfen until she bled.
She really wished there was a hole in the ground so she could crawl into it and never come out!
When others find out that Xiaoxue failed the exam, her reputation will be trampled upon!
As soon as the customer who bought the buns left, Yao Jianfen sighed with a worried look on her face.
Oh, what a sin!
