"You don't have to worry about this. You just need to know that your parents are now your biggest supporters and biggest backers. Even if you stay at home and do nothing, we can still support you! This is the confidence that your parents can give you now. You all suffered when you were young. Mom is well off now, and I will compensate you more in the future!" The old lady touched the girl's hair.
Mei cried, "Mom, why are we suffering? You and my dad are the ones who are suffering. When we were young, you gave us all the food and ate wild vegetables and tree bark. You raised us with great difficulty. Now that life is just getting better, you are so old and you are still struggling outside. I am ashamed enough that I cannot be filial to you. How can I take care of you? If you have money, just keep it for yourself and don't worry about us."
Mei recalled that when he was a child, he had nothing to eat. His father would go out to steal potatoes and cabbages from the fields in the middle of the night and bring them to them. Although life was hard at that time, his heart was happy.
Speaking of hardship, my parents have suffered the most. It's only in these few years that they can enjoy a good life.
"Back then, being able to survive was the best thing for everyone, and no one thought it was a big deal. Now life is better, and everyone wants more grains after eating five grains. Their belts can no longer be tied, and they can't control that two taels of flesh." The old lady sighed and stroked the girl's back.
Mei leaned in the old lady's arms and fell asleep unconsciously. She hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time. It was as if she had returned to her childhood and didn't have to think about anything.
The slum
Wu Zhiqiu tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Wang Yue and Fengchun really annoyed her today. If it weren't for what happened later today, these two would definitely not be so honest. At that time, everyone would just watch her make a fool of herself.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Mancang saw that the old woman was as sleepy as a pancake.
"I was thinking about Fengchun and Wang Yue. They are so stupid. I used to think Fengchun was smart, but now it seems that his brain is not even as big as a melon seed, and his large intestine has grown into his brain." With this IQ, it's no wonder that he took so many exams in his previous life before he was admitted to a junior college.
"I'm anxious. The college entrance examination is coming soon. I think the probability of failing is high, so I'm trying to find a way to get it." Mancang understood it.
"Come? She wants to come, but she doesn't want to come to us and get involved with the eldest brother. Does that mean she wants to come? She wants to separate the family! She wants to instigate the eldest brother and his wife to separate!" Wu Zhiqiu saw through her and was completely disappointed with her. She was eighteen years old and had fulfilled her obligations. She should rely on herself in the future.
"You want her to come?" Wu Zhiqiu looked at Mancang sideways.
Mancang felt dangerous, with a chill on his neck, and immediately said, "How is it possible? She doesn't even care about your life or death. Erbao almost got into trouble because of her. She doesn't even consider herself a member of this family. How can I let her come?"
"Don't you feel bad?"
Mancang... "How can I put it? They are all our children. It's still very disheartening. I'll discuss this with you." Mancang said with a flattering look on his face.
"What are you discussing?"
Mancang rubbed his hands and chuckled twice. "If Fengchun gets into university, we will pay for her tuition and living expenses. The university subsidy is enough, and we will not care about her in the future. If she fails, we will find her a temporary job with food and accommodation. This is the last bit of kindness between our family." Mancang was cautious, not wanting to anger the old woman.
"Okay, I will never interfere in her affairs again." Wu Zhiqiu was satisfied. No matter what, she couldn't let a grown girl sleep on the street. In the end, she was not cruel enough.
"Let's find a lawyer tomorrow and cut off ties with Xingguo and Fengchun. We won't have any contact with them anymore. We have money and don't need them to support us in our old age." Mancang held the old woman's hand. These two people were too noisy. He was really annoyed. They didn't need their money anymore.
"Okay," Wu Zhiqiu agreed.
The next morning, Wu Zhiqiu and Mancang went to Luo Jun's unit together. They didn't know where Luo Jun lived now, and they found out after asking several people.
Luo Jun now lives in the family building allocated to him by his wife, a one-bedroom apartment.
Luo Jun was surprised to see them coming, "Uncle, aunt, come in quickly."
