Chapter 101 Picked up a baby
"Don't want you anymore?"
Jiang Chen was confused after hearing this, but then he remembered that his mother had discovered that Xiao Ye had gone to the northwest, and he even got very angry.
At that time, he threatened that he would pretend that he had never raised a daughter named Jiang Ye.
He always thought his mother was just speaking in anger.
I will calm down by waiting for my sister to come back and acting coquettishly to mother.
But now...
Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with worry, and he asked softly, "Have you returned home yet?"
Jiang Yexing's eyes were filled with tears, her eyes were slightly cold, and she bit her lower lip tightly, "Well, my mother kicked me out after I went back. She told me to fend for myself from now on and she won't give me a penny anymore."
"Let yourself fend for yourself?" Jiang Chen looked at his pitiful sister, his anger rising in waves. He frowned and complained: "You are still in the third year of high school. Mom asked you to fend for yourself. Isn't this ruining you?"
As he spoke, he helped Jiang Ye wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Thinking about my mother's personality, it is really possible that she would say this.
He helped Jiang Ye up from the steps, feeling a little disappointed, "But you really went too far this time. No matter how outstanding Huo Jingyuan is, he is already married."
"But this marriage was originally mine, and I don't want to give it up now, don't you?"
As she spoke, Jiang Ye was about to drop the little pearls again.
Jiang Chen hesitated to speak, sighed helplessly, and said: "Stay at my brother's house for a while, and wait for dad to come back in the evening. I will go back with you to admit my mistake."
"Forget it. After all, I am not my mother's biological daughter. How can I have the face to go back to her? My mother has raised me for more than 20 years. I am already satisfied. I can work to support myself."
Jiang Chen put on a stern face and said in a serious tone: "Listen to me on this matter. The most urgent thing is to surrender first and prepare for the college entrance examination."
"Um."
A hint of secret joy flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.
She knew very well that as a male chauvinist, Jiang Chen hated to see women cry. As long as she acted coquettishly and shed a few tears, he would charge forward for her.

The other side.
After Wen Ci left the hospital, he saw a whole street of freelance vendors selling food, clothes, and even toys for children.
She looked around carefully and found that they were all old goods without the most popular things in the south.
Beijing is located in the north, and even though it is the capital, its fashions lag behind those of the coastal cities in the south.
Coastal cities are much closer to Hong Kong Island and Formosa Boulevard, and the actors’ records and the latest styles of clothing are already extremely popular in the south.
Wen Ci thought about what he should do.
During the few months that I accompanied Huo Jingyuan in the capital to recuperate, I couldn't just live off my savings. I had to earn more money on my own so that I could have the cost of investment in the future.
After all, Wen Ci had great ambitions to invest in Tencent and Yun, but the little money he had was not enough to even buy shares.
"Have you heard? The salaries of foreign companies in the south are the same as those abroad. When will our capital introduce some foreign companies? Then we won't have to go out of town to work."
"I heard about it! Let me tell you, my cousin's brother's wife's cousin works for a foreign company. It is said that he can earn 6,000 yuan a month in the south."
Wen Ci was shocked when he heard the conversation between two aunties passing by.
Six thousand salary in the eighties?!
Saving two months' salary is enough to buy an apartment in Shanghai.
Wen Ci shook his head and sighed.
Although it is difficult and expensive to get into university, the future of those who graduated in the 1980s was limitless. The average salary now is a few dozen yuan, but in foreign companies you can earn 6,000 yuan.
Forty years from now, the average wage in big cities may not even reach 6,000.
Or take the college entrance examination?
Wen Ci blinked and thought carefully. He realized that he had almost forgotten what he knew in high school, and there was less than a month left until the college entrance examination.
How much can I review in one month?
Maybe you'll even waste your college entrance examination opportunity.
Wen Ci shook his head again.
This idea is not advisable.
It takes at least one year to study before taking the college entrance examination.
As we walked around, the sky gradually darkened and became pitch black, which seemed to be a sign of rain. The pedestrians on the road quickened their pace to go home.
The spring rainy season in Beijing always comes with great force. In less than a minute, the rain and fog covered the city. Wen Ci hid under an eaves with his hands covering his head.
There were many other passers-by hiding from the rain around.
She couldn't help but sigh as she watched the rain that showed no sign of stopping.
"Want to buy an umbrella? One dollar each."
At this time, an old woman selling umbrellas approached. She carried a wooden basket full of new umbrellas and walked to the eaves of the shelter from the rain and shouted a few times: "Tiantang umbrellas, very good quality umbrellas, you can use them for ten years without any problems."
An umbrella that costs one dollar is really expensive.
The price of a normal umbrella is only a few cents.
Wen Ci hesitated for a moment, took out a dollar from his pocket, waved to the old woman, and shouted, "Auntie, give me an umbrella."
I don’t know how long this rain will last.
And there is no umbrella at home. If the rain continues until tomorrow, I still have to buy an umbrella before going out. Buying one now will kill two birds with one stone.
"Girl, do you choose, or do I choose for you?"
Wen Ci casually pointed to the umbrella in his pocket: "This one."
After paying the money, she left the eaves holding an umbrella. The gloomy sky and the drizzle seemed to be announcing that summer was coming.
Wen Ci has been in the northwest for so long, but he has never seen rain.
When she took a rickshaw in the afternoon, she specifically noted down the alley the rickshaw driver took. After walking through the alley for a few minutes, she could reach the Beijing Military Region.
It was very quiet except for the sound of rain.
Suddenly, Wen Ci heard a child crying in the alley.
She looked around in confusion. The crying in the empty alley accompanied by the sound of rain sounded very strange.
Wen Ci couldn't help but quicken his pace.
As she walked out of the alley, she hesitated.
What if something really happens to the child?
After much hesitation, Wen Ci decided to turn back.
Following the sound of a crying child, I walked into an abandoned dead end alley. Plastic shells were piled against the wall, and at the innermost corner sat a little boy with tattered clothes.
The eaves at the top of the alley shielded him from the rain, but the rainwater piled up underground and had already reached his ankles. The little boy's eyes were red and tears were hanging on his face.
"What are you doing here?" Wen Ci asked.
The little boy was crying, and was startled when he heard Wen Ci's voice. He subconsciously wanted to run, but he slipped and fell into the water.
Seeing this, Wen Ci threw his umbrella aside, walked quickly to the puddle, picked up the little boy, and said with a gentle smile: "I'm not a bad person, why are you running?"
The little boy complained cautiously: "Only bad people would say they are not bad people."
Wen Ci: “…”
She didn't know how to refute for a moment.
What the little boy said makes some sense.
I wrung out the wet clothes on his body and looked at the little boy carefully. His face was dirty, but you could see that the child had fair and tender skin.
It means that his parents raised him very well.
