Chapter 73 Poor Family
Zhou Tingting was speechless for a moment, and then her tears began to fall even more violently.
"How could a research institute established with state investment allow video recording? Yumo, we clearly agreed at the time that if I won first place, I would take you to the institute. Now your sister has taken my first place, and she is in the wrong first. Just tell me, do you love me? Do you really want to help me fulfill my dream?"
After a pause, fearing that others would disagree, he said harshly: "Lu Yumo, if you don't agree, then we will break up today!"

Lu family villa.
When Fu Zhi put the dress in the closet, Xu Wei was sitting by her bed texting her parents.
Seeing that no one responded to the message for a long time, he turned around and talked to his daughter.
"Zhizhi, how do you know Li Luo? Also, don't you need to wash and return the dress in your closet?"
"No need to return it." Fu Zhi put the candy box on the table and said, "Li Luo is an orphan. She used to live in the same orphanage as me."
Xu Wei understood, "Then you must have a very good relationship, right?"
Speaking of feelings, Fu Zhi said calmly: "They are just ordinary plastic sisters."
Xu Wei: “…”
If Li Luo hadn't given Fu Zhi such an expensive dress, Xu Wei would have almost believed this.
But Xu Wei felt a little weird seeing that her daughter didn't seem to take the dress seriously.
"Mom will take you to buy some specialties from City A tomorrow. Can you mail it to her as a thank you?"
Xu Wei said, "And consolidate your friendship at the same time."
Fu Zhi thought about it, shook his head and said, "No need to stabilize it. She thinks I'm an orphan, so she will always feel a sense of sympathy for me."
Xu Wei: “…”
But you were an orphan before!
Xu Wei didn't know how to respond anymore, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "Dinner is ready, go eat with mom."
In fact, eating is secondary. Today is Saturday, and Xu Wei mainly wants to take Fu Zhi to meet her parents.
So during the meal, Xu Wei explained to Fu Zhi, "You have a grandparents, they are now working in Beijing with your uncle, and they can't fly back to see you at the moment, but your aunt's family is in Yucheng, when they come back from their trip abroad, mom will take you to meet them."
Xu Wei had told Fu Zhi before that her family was not well off and she was from the countryside. Because she and Lu Jingqing were not a good match, old lady Lu looked down on her and was always wary of her using the Lu family's money to support her parents' family.
But in fact, the two elders of the Xu family are very strong-willed. Not only do they have a pension, but Fu Zhi heard that they are very busy and have found a job as sanitation workers in Beijing.
The streets are swept at a fixed time and place every day, and no one can stop them.
At this point, Xu Wei became worried. "I sent money to your uncle, but he never took it. The housing prices in Beijing are so high, and they live in a remote place. There are always ten days a month when the phone has no signal, and they can't be found."
Although the Xu family lived in poverty, they still liked to give Xu Wei bank cards, fearing that Xu Wei was not living a happy life.
However, Xu Wei never touched the money.
After all, this was the savings her parents had worked hard for their entire lives. Besides, she was already an adult, so how could she spend her parents' money? !
Fu Zhi's tone was very light, "They are all good people——"
Fu Zhi was about to say that she had dozens of properties in Beijing when Xu Wei's WeChat video call rang. She answered it with one hand.
Two faces soon appeared on the screen.
They are the two elders of the Xu family.
They were wearing white coats and must have just come back from sweeping the streets. They were also wearing disposable gloves on their hands.
Even though he is in his sixties, he looks energetic and kind because he exercises regularly.
The light on that side of the room was very dim. There seemed to be a blackboard behind them, with a series of characters densely written on it with chalk that Xu Wei could not understand.
