Chapter 197 Wake Up
Jia Shu put down the phone, covered her face with her hands, and lay on the table, crying.
Jiang Xiaoxiao doesn’t know how to coax people, she knows how to confront people.
I'm not good at coaxing people.
But this is Jia Shu.
She could understand that Jia Shu was sad and disappointed with her family. No one knew what happened after she went back in her previous life. However, based on what she said now, it can be speculated that Jia Shu not only lent money to her family, but might have suffered a greater blow after returning.
This time, under his influence, Jia Shu at least knows how to confront people.
This is the first step to being brave.
"Don't cry, I know you feel bad, but you are already this old, you should know what you can do and what you can't do. Family members can't just give in and accommodate them blindly. If you spoil them, these bad habits will gradually develop, and they will take your efforts for granted.
That's not good for the family. You are a family member, you can always give in and accommodate, but how can outsiders do that to them? Once they meet a powerful person, they will still have to endure the humiliation and grievances, and they may also offend others and cause trouble.
Your mother is the same. To put it bluntly, she sees you as weak and picks on the weak. Taking care of the family is one thing, but you have to have a sense of how far you can go. For example, sending money.
You sent back 15 yuan at once, and your mother thought you could get 15 yuan every month, so she took it for granted. Didn't you see how other people sent money? He Aiguo and his friends only sent back 2 or 3 yuan, and the most they sent was 5 yuan.
In this way, family members will not force them to send money, as they know that it is not easy for them to live here, and it is even harder to make money.
You might as well send all the money back at once. Of course, your mother will think that you are living a comfortable life here. You earn so much money, more than the workers do, and she will think that you are enjoying yourself here.
Now the lion is asking for too much, and you feel wronged, but you also have responsibilities."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was being rude and did not negotiate with anyone, and Jia Shu was indeed wrong as well.
Not only did she give in to her family at every step, but she also gave her family the opportunity to take advantage of her. To put it bluntly, the reason why his mother could be so bold was because Jia Shu's own way of doing things was problematic.
Being smart or not is one thing, but even a not-so-smart person knows how to watch how others do things.
There are so many educated youth here, and they can’t learn anything else from others. Can’t they even learn how to send money home?
It's not that she should harbor selfish motives, but she should also be a little sensible when dealing with her family.
You can't just send all your money back at once.
Jia Shu couldn't cry anymore. How could she cry anymore? Jiang Xiaoxiao had already said so much, and it would be a bit hypocritical if she cried any more.
"I also know that I have problems, but I just think that it's not easy for my parents at home, and there are many younger brothers and sisters at home. If I don't help them a little, their family life will be even more difficult. When I was hungry at home, I thought that if I came out, I must find a way to make sure my younger brothers and sisters have enough to eat.
But I never thought that after I sent the money back, they would come up with such a trick to force me to borrow money. This letter was written by my own brother, and this idea was thought up by my own parents.
When I think about this, I feel like I might as well not be alive.”
Jia Shu burst into tears, she was really heartbroken.
Jiang Xiaoxiao handed her the handkerchief.
"I know you've been hurt by your family, but you should think more about yourself in the future. You want your family to be well and live a better life, but you can't do things in such a one-size-fits-all way.
You've revealed all your secrets, so of course your parents will be carefree. You've done so much farm work, you know how easy it is for us to earn these few work points? I'm afraid your parents have never thought about you.
You will be normal in the future. You can send an average amount according to how much money the educated youth sent back home. It should not be the highest or the lowest, so as not to attract attention. It will also allow your parents to make good plans.
Especially your second brother, he doesn't know what his family conditions are like? He actually asked for these three big items when he got married. Is this something that an ordinary family can afford? It's just that your father and your mother think you are their support.
It was you who gave them this thought, so you should think more about it in the future."
In her previous life, Jia Shu didn't dare to see anyone because of the scar on her face, and was ridiculed and disliked by others.
She gradually became introverted and lonely, and her family members didn't like her. After she returned home, she never went back.
Apart from sending money home, it seemed as if she didn't exist at all.
Apart from asking for money, it seems that no one in her family has contacted her.
In this life, Jiang Xiaoxiao hopes that Jia Shu can get rid of the vampire-like entanglement of her family.
In her previous life, Jia Shu never got married and ended up in a miserable state.
At least in this life, Jia Shu should be different from her last life! She should meet someone who loves her.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was determined to wake up her friends.
Jia Shu stared at Jiang Xiaoxiao in a daze. Thinking back to what Jiang Xiaoxiao had said, she felt something was not right.
Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed. It would take time for her to let it go. It was not realistic that a few words could wake someone up from a dream.
I hope Jia Shu can wake up this time.
Don't rely on the warmth of family love.
If you cannot get what you want, it will be very hurtful in the end.
The two of them went back to work, one after the other.
The work in the fields cannot stop.
This year's harvest depends on their own hands.
Jia Shu was distracted when she returned to the dormitory. She sat on the kang in a daze, almost without saying a word.
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to see her like that and could only go cook for herself.
Song Moting followed in and he also found that something was wrong with Jia Shu.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
The thirteen of them have a good relationship and can work together to find solutions when encountering difficulties.
Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, thinking that it was not appropriate to tell others about this matter.
It's not appropriate for Song Moting to be so close to them.
"She has some family problems and is in a bad mood. She should just take a rest. Don't worry."
Song Moting didn't ask any more questions and started washing the vegetables.
Jiang Xiaoxiao stewed some rice and fried a big stew to make the meal complete.
There are no fresh vegetables at the beginning of spring.
"Why don't we grow some vegetables in the field outside the courtyard wall? I see that the field is not small, at least 70 to 80 mu. There is also wasteland on both sides of the road down the mountain, but if we clean it up, we should be able to grow a lot of vegetables."
Song Moting felt that the monotonous food was really distressing.
After all, we have to live for a few years, and who knows what can be left behind.
Before leaving, you still have to plan for the future.
He had long noticed that Jiang Xiaoxiao liked to eat fresh vegetables. Didn’t he see that the manager gave them some mung beans a few days ago, and Jiang Xiaoxiao was thinking of a way to grow bean sprouts.
You know what, stir-fried bean sprouts with meat tastes really delicious.
I haven’t seen any fresh vegetables for a whole winter, and now the mung bean sprouts look like wolves.
There is also the fried eggs with Chinese toon that Jiang Xiaoxiao asked them to pick from the tree a few days ago, which is also a delicious dish.
He could see that Jiang Xiaoxiao still had some requirements for food.
So we find different ways to create conditions.
