Chapter 117 Another abandoned girl...
Chi Wan looked at the letter and asked in a cautious tone.
"Xin'an, can you let me take a look at this letter of yours?"
When Qiao Xinan heard Chi Wan's words, her tears burst out and trembled at that moment.
Her hands were also shaking.
He clutched the thin paper so nervously and helplessly, the strength of his fingers seemed to penetrate the fragile paper, yet he seemed reluctant to let go.
Qiao Xin'an hesitated for a moment.
During this period, tears kept rolling in her eyes.
The fair face was constantly wet with tears.
Her sadness and helplessness were all written on her young face, which made Chi Wan feel so sorry.
"Xin'an, don't be nervous... I'm not asking about your personal affairs, I just want to help you better, don't be afraid..."
"No! It's not like that, Xiaowan!"
Qiao Xinan shook his head hurriedly.
She hurriedly wanted to explain that her hesitation was not due to her defense or distrust of Chi Wan.
On the contrary, it is quite the opposite.
Qiao Xin'an has been working in the countryside for almost two years. During these two years, due to her mediocre ability and introverted personality, she has not been able to live well in the production team and has not made many friends.
Only Chi Wan is the only one.
When they were partners, Chi Wan didn't care about her ability and even did her share of the work.
And then there was the braised pork that came later.
That was the only warmth Qiao Xinan had ever felt during the two years of loneliness and helplessness.
Qiao Xinan knew how good Chi Wan was and that she was her only friend, so she didn't want to show her most embarrassing side in front of Chi Wan.
She didn't want Chi Wan to see...
She didn't want Chi Wan to pity her because of this...
What Qiao Xinan wanted was an equal friendship between them.
However.
Her thoughts were wrong at this moment.
A true friend is someone who will treat you with the most normal attitude no matter what you become.
No matter how serious the difficulties you encounter, only friends will help you selflessly when you are isolated and helpless.
at this time.
The warmth coming from Chi Wan and the gentle care emanating from her eyes.
All of them silently told this.
The fear and confusion in Qiao Xinan's heart were gradually soothed as her tears were wiped away by Chi Wan.
There was a sound of rustling papers.
Qiao Xinan finally...
He put the letter tightly in her hand into Chi Wan's hand.
She lowered her head, suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, and said with sobs.
"Xiao Wan, you...just look..."
Chi Wan took the letter.
The envelope was heavy with Qiao Xinan's heart-wrenching wrinkles and sad tears.
Chi Wan saw a strange address on the envelope, from an address very far away from here.
Qiao Xinan is a complete wanderer in a foreign land.
Her home is thousands of miles away.
Then comes the letter paper with bold and elegant handwriting.
Chi Wan's eyes were serious as she read carefully, line by line, what was written on the letter.
but.
The more she looked down, the tighter the wrinkles between her brows became.
There was even a hint of deep anger in those dark pupils!
Hate!
I hate it so much!
How could there be such a thing in the world!
Chi Wan almost didn't believe the content of the letter... because it was so ridiculous.
She snorted coldly in her heart.
The person writing the letter was not the mother who had been communicating with Qiao Xinan, but Qiao Xinan's younger brother.
Qiao Xinan is nineteen years old.
Qiao Xinan's younger brother is two years younger than her and is seventeen years old.
When the quotas for going to the countryside were originally allocated door to door, because Qiao Xinan had many brothers and sisters, she and her brother were both on the list.
But Qiao's mother simply couldn't bear to let her eldest son suffer such hardships.
Therefore, they did not hesitate to empty their family assets, even borrowing foreign debts, and spent all the money on finding connections to smooth things over.
therefore.
Qiao Xinan's younger brother managed to avoid being sent to the countryside and was able to continue attending high school in the city and even prepare for the college entrance examination.
Regarding this...
As the eldest sister in the family, Qiao Xinan has always been hardworking and never complained.
Even though Mother Qiao was so partial to her eldest son, Qiao Xin'an never said a word.
Because Qiao's father died early, Qiao Xin'an has always shouldered the responsibilities of an eldest sister and a mother.
She even felt that as the eldest child, she should sacrifice and take care of her younger siblings.
but.
This is exactly why things took a turn.
Because of connections, the Qiao family was completely emptied.
The family also supports a high school student and several younger children.
The income of Qiao's mother alone is not enough to cover such expenses.
Not to mention, there are still a lot of debts among relatives.
No one is willing to lend a hand to us orphans and widows anymore.
Therefore, Qiao Xinan was reluctant to spend on herself the work points she had saved up bit by bit while working in the countryside, the food coupons, oil coupons she had worked hard to earn, and even a bar of soap.
All of them are for her mother and her brothers.
that's all……
She was a young girl not even twenty years old, but she had endured two years of hardship.
What Qiao Xin'an is most looking forward to is to end her work in the countryside and return to the city to reunite with her family.
Even life in the city is hard.
As long as there is the company of family, it is worth it.
Chi Wan looked at the contents of the letter and roughly guessed the contents of Qiao Xin'an's previous letter.
Qiao Xin'an should have written something about the recent situation of the production brigade, and told her mother and brother that she would soon have the opportunity to return to the city and looked forward to reuniting with them.
However.
This letter from Qiao Xinan's brother was meant to cut off Qiao Xinan's dream of returning to the city.
Even——
Just write a sentence like, "There is no place for you at home. Even if you come back, there is no place for you. So don't come back."
In the past, "All of you female educated youth who went to the countryside will marry farmers, so why don't you just find a wife to marry? It's okay if you don't work when you come back? There are so many wives at home, isn't that too much?"
Chi Wan could think of...
Qiao Xin'an's family was so poor that they must have had a hard life, living in a small house.
Qiao's mother, Qiao Xin'an's younger brother, and younger brothers and sisters...
Each room is just a bunk bed and is crowded.
In the two years that Qiao Xin'an was away, her younger brothers and sisters grew up and needed more living space.
The family has been living a tight life.
