Chapter 77



Chapter 77

Xu Yanan was standing at the door. Sun Yan had sorted out her clothes and belongings and piled them at the door.

There was a long piece of paper taped to the door of the house. It wasn't a seal, but was put there intentionally to tell everyone that the house had been sold.

Xu Yanan leaned over and thought about last night.

Sun Yan cooked a large table of dishes and kept muttering about the dead Xu Jianguo.

"The bastard died a quick death. Why didn't he die with a car that could pay for more money?"

"All I know is that I am causing trouble for others. It doesn't matter whether I'm alive or dead."

"You two are unlucky to have such a father."

Xu Yanan was concentrating on eating, and Sun Yan kept scolding her until she hit her on the head.

"There's a table full of meat, and you only care about eating potatoes?"

"You are a bastard who doesn't know how to enjoy your blessings!"

Sun Yan roughly picked up a few pieces of pork belly for Xu Yanan with her chopsticks: "Eat! You have to eat even if you can't finish it!"

Xu Yanan raised her head and met Sun Yan's eyes.

Sun Yan avoided looking at him, still cursing.

"What good brother are you talking about? Just give me 500 yuan. What's the point of 1,000 yuan?"

"I don't care. If we can't make ends meet in the future, we'll go find Jian Feng!"

"Fifty-one hundred, he doesn't need it."

"Eat it, eat it quickly."

After dinner, Sun Yan washed the dishes herself, which was rare. She also cooked a meal for Xu Yanan before going out in the morning.

Xu Yanan looked at the things at the door and thought.

So that's how it is.

She wondered how she could be so lucky.

It turns out that you are going to lose yourself.

Xu Yanan curled up and looked at the white note on the door.

I'm really curious about how much Sun Yan got from selling the house.

20,000? 30,000?

Neither of them is likely. I heard that Jian Li's house was sold for just over 20,000 yuan. It would be a great honor if this house could be sold for 8,000 yuan.

Xu Yanan felt a little regretful. If she had known this would happen, she would not have given the thousand yuan that Uncle Jian gave her.

What can you do with a thousand dollars?

I think I can hold on until I graduate from junior high school, right?

There are only two months left until the high school entrance examination.

Xu Yanan buried her head in her knees and tears fell uncontrollably.

She thought, why not wait two more months?

It will be fine in two months.

The news that Sun Yan had run away quickly spread throughout the compound. Even though many families had encountered various problems due to the closure of the factory, no one had ever heard of a family losing a child.

The neighbors gathered together and talked about calling the police.

"This is abandonment! Sun Yan should have arrested them!"

"I've never heard of a mother being so cruel!"

"Yanan, come to your aunt's house and eat something first."

Everyone had sympathy in their eyes, but Xu Yanan had no tears left.

When someone offered to help her move things, she thanked them and then declined.

"My mother said she might be back soon."

This makes others feel uncomfortable.

Sun Yan sold the house before running away, which really shows that she is not treating her like a lady.

Where will I come back?

But Xu Yanan thought that she had no other way to go.

Whose house should we go to for dinner? Everyone is having a hard time. She can only eat once. How can she have the nerve to keep eating?

As for living, it is even more impossible.

Xu Yanan thought of looking through the luggage while there were few people around to see if there were any thick quilts.

It's still a bit cold at night, and I don't know if I can live in those abandoned rooms in the factory.

When Jian Feng and Wang Mengmei arrived, they saw Xu Yanan, who was frighteningly calm.

She rejected everyone's arrangements and just stood there alone.

"Ya Nan!"

Jian Feng and Wang Mengmei rushed forward, and without saying anything, one of them took the luggage while the other pulled Xu Yanan.

Xu Yanan struggled: "Uncle, I won't go to your house."

If you are alone, the pain is bearable.

But if she faced Jian Li's happiness head-on, Xu Yanan felt that she would collapse in the living room of Jian Li's house.

Wang Mengmei scolded him, "You kid, there's no place to stay in your aunt's house. Let's go and stay at your uncle Liming's house."

Before leaving, Wang Liming left the key to Jian Feng, asking him to go and take a look when he was free. The house was uninhabited and he was afraid there might be water or electrical leaks inside.

Wang Mengmei did not mention the fact that Sun Yan had run away, she was only focused on dragging Xu Yanan away.

"Your uncle Liming is not at home. Everything is ready at his house. You can stay there first. We can talk about other things tomorrow."

Jian Feng couldn't carry the luggage by himself, so a neighbor immediately came forward to help. Upon hearing what he said, he also thought it was a good idea.

"Yes, Yanan, you can live there, it's a ready-made place."

Jian Feng interrupted, "Don't be embarrassed. I called your uncle Li Ming and he said it's okay. You can stay as long as you want."

Before Xu Yanan could figure out what was going on, she was taken to Wang Liming's home by the adults.

Wang Mengmei took out the key and opened the door: "Come in."

When Wang Liming moved out, he didn't take away any big items, so the house was surprisingly tidy.

Wang Mengmei placed Xu Yanan in the room in Chaoyang.

"Auntie will be busy later, ask your aunt Xue Fang's sister to bring you food."

Several neighbors helped deliver the things, and they were relieved to see that everything was in order. Someone interrupted and said, "Don't bother. We'll cook some more food later and ask Yanan to come over to our house to eat."

Everyone knows that Wang Mengmei is busy.

Wang Mengmei didn't pretend to be so. She said frankly, "Okay, Yanan, you can go anywhere for a while. There's no refrigerator in this room, but I have a pot somewhere. I'll bring it to you later. There's also a fire in this room. You can cook if you want. If you're busy with studies, you can eat in the store."

Everyone said at once: "Yeah, the high school entrance exam is coming soon, right?"

"Yes, it's only two months away."

"Oh, we have to hold on tight."

Xu Yanan's throat was dry: "Auntie, I don't need it..."

Wang Mengmei: "What's the use? Just listen to your aunt. Nothing is more important than studying. Other things are just trivial matters."

Xu Yanan held her throat tightly and couldn't utter a word.

Wang Mengmei pulled a few neighbors together and said, "Let's go back first. You clean up this room and live here peacefully. Your uncle Liming won't come back, so what are you afraid of?"

The adults closed the door, and Xu Yanan was the only one left in the empty room.

Xu Yanan thanked Wang Mengmei and Jian Feng, not for their help, but for giving her a closed space.

The sound of crying came out of the door, and Wang Mengmei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.

Several neighbors were indignant: "What the hell is this!"

Wang Mengmei put away her gentleness and her face became stiff.

"It's unfortunate to be born into this family!"

Neighbor: “We should call the police!”

How can we just walk away like this?

Even if you want to abandon the child, you should at least leave her some money.

Jian Feng: "We have called the police."

Just before he left the house, Jian Li called him. He originally wanted to arrange for Xu Yanan to stay at her home, but Jian Li suggested that he send Xu Yanan here.

"Don't ask her anything. Just give her a ride and take her to Uncle Liming's house."

Jian Li was unusually serious when she said this.

Throughout all these years of being classmates, no one understood Xu Yanan's pride better than Jian Li.

For Xu Yanan, crying in front of everyone and showing her own misery was nothing short of a disaster that destroyed her personality.

Jian Feng instinctively did what Jian Li said. When he heard the child's suppressed cry in the room, Jian Feng felt from the bottom of his heart that what Jian Li said was right.

"I'm afraid that even if I call the police, I won't be able to find her, or even if I find her, she won't come back."

If Sun Yan doesn't come back, can the police still catch her?

It's impossible to even think about it.

The neighbors all frowned and asked, "What should we do next?"

For a child this old, with such strong self-esteem, money is not the main issue. The main problem is that there is simply no place to put him.

A group of adults faced each other, and in the end they were helpless.

Before the search for Sun Yan was finalized, the police notified Xu Yanan's relatives first.

Xu Jianguo's eldest brother hurried to the city again and jumped up and down in the yard.

"Is this house hers? She'll sell it!"

"What a scorpion!"

He thought Sun Yan hadn't let it go, but it turned out she was too open-minded.

The house was sold, the son was taken away, and the daughter was left behind.

What kind of people are these!

The police flipped through the investigation results and said, "The house was sold normally. After your brother passed away, the house became hers."

Xu Jianguo was furious: "What about the child? She took the child away!"

Police: "She is the mother, it is legitimate for her to take the child away."

Brother Xu Jianguo sat on the ground in a dejected state.

There is no way, absolutely no way.

Sun Yan had this intention, and the police couldn't even find her.

The most urgent issue now is that no one is taking care of Xu Yanan.

Xu Jianguo's eldest brother said helplessly: "Then let Yanan go back to the village."

He couldn't afford to send his children to school, but he could provide them with food.

But this also has problems.

Xu Yanan is about to take the high school entrance exam, so it is basically impossible for her to transfer schools at this time.

Xu Jianguo's eldest brother was extremely tired and said with a wry smile, "I'm not going to high school anyway, so what difference does it make whether I take the exam or not?"

He can't afford to support a high school student, so he might as well not let the child take the exam. If he passes and then can't continue his studies, it will only add to the trouble.

Wang Mengmei pulled Xu Yanan behind her and said, "That's not what you mean. The child has been studying for so many years, why don't you go to the examination room to check it out?"

Brother Xu Jianguo confessed: "I have no money."

If he had money, why wouldn't he support her? But even his own daughter planned to stop going to junior high school, so he simply couldn't afford it.

Xu Yanan pursed her lips, her heart filled with a sense of loss and despair.

Yes, even if she persists until the high school entrance examination, can she still go to high school?

Jian Feng stood up and asked: "Who said you can't go to high school?"

He turned his head and looked at Xu Yanan gently and firmly: "Child, you should study hard. After the high school entrance examination, if you do well, you will receive a scholarship."

The high school affiliated with the cotton spinning factory will have preferential policies for the children of employees this year, with three places being exempted from three years of tuition.

Xu Yanan was stunned: "But, but my dad..."

Xu Jianguo had been dismissed long ago, so strictly speaking, she was not an employee's child.

Jian Feng patted her head and said, "Don't worry about this. Just study hard."

Jian Feng touched Director Qiu's business card through his clothes. No matter what, he had to give it a try.
