Chapter 13: Stepfather Nanjiang
Cheng Nanjiang Cheng does not know how to do housework. Since his wife passed away, he has been at a loss in life. He has been living a difficult life with his two sons alone.
It is said that children without mothers are pitiful. In order to help their father share the worries, the two sons learned to cook and wash their own clothes at a young age.
Nanjiang Cheng came from the rural mountains and passed the exams all the way. He was considered a learned person among his peers in the countryside.
When he was a child in the village, because he was an only son with two older sisters, his parents took him very seriously. Nanjiang Cheng has never done any housework. In his opinion, the only thing people in the world can do well is study.
His selfishness and narrow-mindedness were also developed since childhood.
Both sons have been very successful in studying since childhood, which is something Nanjiang City is proud of.
But because there was no woman in his life, he was beaten many times by his father when his two sons did something wrong and burned their rice.
In Nanjiang City, they beat their sons with belts. The neighbors felt sorry for the two motherless children and often came to try to dissuade them.
As adults, the two sons occasionally mentioned being beaten and scolded by their father when they were children, which also reflected the unsatisfactory life of a widower in Nanjiang City at that time.
The childhood lives of the two sons were not as sweet and happy as those of other children. Their mother died early, and the younger son Nantian had almost no maternal love.
Nan Hui and Nan Tian were taken away by their two aunts when they were young and lived a life of dependence on others.
Especially Nan Hui, at his aunt's house, he knew that only children with good grades can be liked, so he studied hard since he was a child and his grades have always been among the best.
When Nan Jingyi was ten years old, Zheng Juan took her into life in Nanjiang City after being introduced.
Nanjiang City lived a happy life from then on and took his two sons back to him.
Zheng Juan is a good woman, she is hardworking and simple. Take good care of Nanjiang City in life.
No matter in terms of clothing or mental outlook, everyone can see the changes in Nanjiang City with the naked eye. He has become fatter and cleaner. Everyone praises him for marrying a good wife.
Time has passed, and his ex-wife has been married to him for less than ten years. Now Zheng Juan has been married to him for more than ten years.
They had no children after their remarriage. When they first got married, Nanjiang City proposed having another child, but Zheng Juan did not agree.
If she had been willing to have a second child, she would not have divorced Jingyi's father before.
It is said that children are the bond between parents. It may be more difficult for second-married couples without children to maintain their marriage.
In Nanjiang City's heart, I wonder if his deceased wife is the best? Only he can answer this question.
Nan Jingyi could tolerate the other shortcomings of Nanjiang City, but the one that made her despise the most was Nanjiang City's dirty character.
In the last life, Nanjiang City mentioned and envied his seventy-year-old colleague more than once for having a fifty-year-old girlfriend.
This was how he felt in his heart. Nan Jingyi thought that her stepfather was just talking about envy, but she didn't expect that she would be hit on the spot not long after.
Nanjiangcheng, who is over seventy years old, actually stole someone behind his wife's back!
One afternoon in the previous life, Nan Jingyi accidentally returned to her parents' home and bumped into Nanjiang City with a woman at home...
Nan Jingyi was so shocked that she turned her back and didn't dare to look directly. Because the incident happened so suddenly, she actually forgot about it. Use your mobile phone to collect evidence. She sat there blankly for a long time without coming back to her senses.
The old guy panicked and hurriedly pulled up his pants. The mistress turned out to be a sixty-year-old woman selling steamed buns downstairs.
An old man in his seventies and a woman in her sixties!
They are all of an age when they have children and grandchildren!
She couldn't find any other words other than shocking, despicable, dirty, and obscene.
My mother has worked hard for half her life, but to marry such a man for the second time. Nan Jingyi is not worth it for her mother.
That day, she found her mother, who was taking care of her grandmother at the hospital bedside, and told her mother about the scandal about her scumbag father she had just bumped into. Her mother remained silent.
Maybe my mother already knew what kind of character her man was, but she just married and followed him and turned a blind eye.
After returning home, my mother quarreled with Nanjiangcheng and with him, but it was of no use. In the end, she just made do with it and continued to live her life.
In this life, although this incident has not happened yet, Nan Jingyi knows very well what kind of character her stepfather is.
Therefore, she and her stepfather have always been indifferent, and they have not been able to establish a father-daughter relationship for more than ten years.
This is one of the reasons why she is passionate about buying a house and working hard to make money.
She hopes to have a safe haven, a harbor that provides safety and security for herself and her mother. As long as her mother is willing, she has the ability to take her mother away from this dirty man and this emotionless home.
She couldn't give to her mother in her previous life. In this life, she has to make up for it and become her mother's support.
Seeing that her mother and stepfather were no longer arguing, Nan Jingyi sat down to eat, lost in thought, and seemed to be speeding up her plan.
I have a night shift tomorrow, so I can take time to go to the decoration company during the day. She wanted to speed up and decorate the house as soon as possible.
The next morning, she contacted the best local decoration company and made an appointment to come up with the design drawings within a week and complete the decoration within three months.
Today Nan Jingyi and Teacher Luo have evening classes.
She had enough time in the morning to finish delivering the orders for Jiangnan Banquet, get 5,500 yuan, and put the money into the space.
In the space, her little vault is full again.
Then she went to the market to help her mother sell vegetables. Zheng Juan's daily income in the past two days was 2,500-3,000 yuan. She was very happy and full of energy.
"Beep beep beep" Nan Jingyi's pager rang. She looked down and saw that it was her work phone number. She hurried to Uncle Zeng's office to make a call.
"I'm Nan Jingyi."
"Jingyi, everyone reminds you to buy fruit and bring it over before going to the evening shift today. Don't forget it!" Sister Liu, a colleague in the department, was urging.
"Don't worry, Sister Liu, I will deliver it at noon." Nan Jingyi lowered her head and wanted to smile. She didn't dare to forget these guys. Yesterday, a dozen colleagues ordered fruits from her.
Hurry into the space and pack the boxes one by one according to everyone’s needs.
The head nurse ordered five kilograms of strawberries, Teacher Luo ordered five kilograms of strawberries, Fang Hua’s half a kilogram of cherries, He Jing’s five kilograms of strawberries and half a kilogram of cherries, Sister Liu’s five kilograms of apples, five kilograms of strawberries, and Sister Deng’s five kilograms of bananas and five kilograms of apples. ...
When Nan Jingyi finished packing all the packing boxes, it was almost 11:30, and she hurriedly sent them to her colleagues.
Some colleagues had the afternoon off, so she had to deliver it to them at noon.
Now, in order to make deliveries by bicycle every day, she gave up skirts and wore jeans and short-sleeved T-shirts every day, which fully highlighted her good figure.
An mp3 plus bp player is her regular outfit, tied into a ponytail, which makes her look even more youthful and beautiful.
Nan Jingyi went to the hospital and called Jiang Qi from the gate to help her carry the fruit box to the department.
Everyone, you take a bag and I take a bag. The uninformed patients thought that the hospital was distributing holiday supplies, and several family members of the patients came to watch the fun.
