He Wan felt that other students always looked at her strangely when she walked on campus, so she stayed in her dormitory except for the classes she had to attend. She even asked her roommates to bring her food back for her.
As if things weren't going to get worse, before the buzz surrounding her had died down, her parents called to tell her that they had lost their jobs.
This news struck He Wan like a bolt from the blue, leaving her completely stunned.
The things she told Yanling about her family were only partially true.
He Wan's current parents are actually her uncle and aunt. After her biological parents gave birth to two sons in a row, they had the idea of selling her. It was her uncle and aunt who saved her and took her home to raise her carefully.
Her uncle and aunt ran a small food stall in the county town to earn tuition fees for He Wan. Now that the stall is no longer allowed, she will have to support herself for living expenses and tuition fees from now on.
Rumors and gossip, coupled with family troubles, made He Wan forget the most important thing: several months later, her belly gradually grew bigger. At first, she thought it was because she hadn't been exercising lately and had gained weight.
But as her belly grew bigger, He Wan gradually realized something was wrong; she hadn't had her period for several months!
That day, she wore loose clothing to the hospital for a checkup. The results shocked her: she was pregnant and already five months along.
Before she even left the hospital, He Wan received a call from her biological parents. They exchanged a few insincere greetings on the other end of the line, then couldn't wait to get to the point: "Xiao Wan, I heard your uncle and aunt's stall was shut down? It wasn't easy for them to raise you. Now that you're in college, don't bother them anymore."
He Wan sneered inwardly. They were definitely up to no good by coming to her. They were just saying nice things, but they were probably up to something bad!
"What do you mean by that? My parents are willing to support me, and that has nothing to do with my aunt, right? Even if my parents don't have money now, I can support myself, so my aunt doesn't need to worry about me."
"How dare you talk to your mother like that! I'm your mother! Your own mother! They only raised you for a few years, and all you remember is their kindness? Your father and I raised you all these years, shouldn't you repay us!"
"I will repay you, of course I will repay you properly."
He Wan's face twisted as she gritted her teeth and spoke.
The person on the other end of the phone didn't understand the meaning behind her words and quickly said, "It's like this, Mom, I've found you a good marriage here. But aren't you about to run out of money for tuition? In my opinion, you should just stop studying. It's useless for a girl like you to study so much. You should get married as soon as possible."
"A good marriage? How good?"
"Oh my, that's truly one of the best families in the world. The groom's family said that if you're willing to marry into their family, they'll give you a dowry of 100,000 yuan, buy us an apartment in town, and even solve your younger brother's school problem. What do you think?"
Haha, they really have a good plan. I moved my household registration to my uncle and aunt's house a long time ago and cut off all contact with them. Now they actually want to sell me to them to leech off their blood. Dream on!
What good families could there be in her hometown? She finally made it to the big city, and she'd rather die than go back.
He Wan understood the couple; they were planning to use her to exchange for money and wouldn't give up easily. Thinking of this, she raised her right hand and gently stroked her belly. If she had this child, they wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
I doubt anyone would be willing to pay a high dowry to buy a woman who has given birth.
Moreover, the child's father is from Beijing, and if she marries him, she will also become a resident of Beijing in the future.
He Wan made up her mind almost instantly: she would give birth to this child.
