"What on earth are you guys up to?"
Fan Yunli angrily slammed her fist on the closed door. Inside, Aunt Zhou, with a sneer, shouted, "We're severing ties with Zhou Xuehua! Since that's the case, you have nothing to do with the Zhou family anymore. Go wherever you want..."
Sever ties?
Fan Yunli was stunned...
In her memory, the Zhou family always doted on her mother. They were from the capital, while the Zhou family were just poor country folk. She had always been proud of herself, so she was now being picky about the Zhou family.
What happened to my mom?
"What exactly happened...?"
Uncle Zhou came out of the house and, hearing the commotion outside the door, frowned and said, "Get rid of her quickly, or our family will become a laughing stock."
The Zhou family has had quite a few troubles lately, causing much concern among the villagers.
Aunt Zhou, twisting her now-weak body, opened the door with a sneer, hands on her hips, and said, "Your mother is a murderer. We dare not have anything to do with her. If you want to know more details, contact your father yourself. We can't let you stay here anymore. Go wherever you want..."
"Go, go, don't stand here and make a scene..."
Fan Yunli was stunned by what her aunt Zhou said. By the time she came to her senses, her aunt Zhou was closing the door, and her belongings were scattered all over the floor. At a glance, there were only some tattered clothes. After she started working, she spent all her wages on herself. Although her father had given her old clothes to Fan Yunrong, she had bought quite a few more since then...
But now, if you flip through them, they're all gone...
She strode forward and, just as Aunt Zhou closed the door, asked, "Where are my clothes? This isn't all I own, is it?"
Aunt Zhou pried her fingers apart, rolled her eyes, and said, "You've been eating and staying at our house for free these past few days, and you've had an egg white every day..."
Fan Yunli reached out as if to say something, but Aunt Zhou had already slammed the door shut without hesitation. Fortunately, Fan Yunli pulled her fingers back quickly, or she would have almost gotten them caught.
She found herself completely helpless, so she simply tidied up her mud-stained, tattered clothes and headed to the educated youth settlement...
Fearing they would be implicated, the Zhou family had already written a letter severing ties and sent it over, and also reported the matter to the village chief, firmly stating that they had absolutely nothing to do with the bad things Zhou Xuehua had done...
When Fan Yunli came to her senses, she realized that her letters to her father had gone unanswered all these days. Had there been signs all along?
Calling Fan's father was out of the question, as the village didn't have the means to do so; they could only do it when they went to the county town. Besides, making a phone call was expensive these days, and Fan Yunli didn't have any money on her...
Normally, based on her working hours, she should have been able to save some money, but she's also considered another kind of "moonlight clan" (living paycheck to paycheck) in this era...
Not only can I not save money, but I often feel like I don't have enough to spend.
So now, it's like being a lone boat, seemingly unable to contact anyone anymore...
Fan Yunli curled up on the narrow bed. This was the educated youth settlement. Here, she didn't have the same treatment as she did at her family home or even the Zhou family, where each person had their own room. Five or six female educated youths lived in one room at the same time, making a lot of noise and causing a lot of annoyance.
He eventually realized that the only way to find out what had happened was to ask Fan Xiaofan...
She works in a factory; perhaps she's better informed...
