On Sunday, Gu Xi and Qin Yan took a walk around the school. There were houses for rent in the school’s staff quarters. Most of them were red brick buildings where the school’s teachers and employees from nearby factories lived.
The two of them chose a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment on the third floor of a U-shaped building. It was previously the home of an elderly professor and his wife, who kept it very cozy and clean. After retirement, they chose to move to a more literary and artistic place in Wutong District.
The two rooms are large enough to accommodate a desk in each. The kitchen and living room are relatively small, but these are not problems. The two of them don’t cook anyway. They usually eat in the school cafeteria and at most they just take out some food.
The bathroom is fairly clean. Although it is not separated into wet and dry areas, it is good enough to have a flush toilet.
Some people who don't have flush toilets use ordinary toilets. You can either empty the toilet yourself or pay someone to come and help you empty and clean the toilet every morning. Usually, the dirty work is done by old ladies. Not only can they earn money by emptying the toilet, but they can also collect feces and sell them to supplement their family income.
The big matter of looking at the house was settled, the money was paid, Wang Xu and Ding He stayed to clean, while Gu Xi and Qin Yan went back to the dormitory to pack their things, and came back to help move things after the two of them finished cleaning.
Luckily, I only stayed there for a week and didn’t have much stuff, so I cleaned it up quickly.
Fang Fang's child was making noises again. Another girl named Zhou Jin couldn't help but burst out: "Can you control your child? He keeps crying all day long. You don't even go home on weekends. Who can stand it when he makes noises all day long?"
Fang Fang raised her head from the book: "Who can you blame for not being able to read? Why are others fine? What does a child know? What can I do if he cries? He's been fed and his diaper has been changed. He will fall asleep after crying for a while. What's wrong with you being patient? You just follow others to make trouble. Why don't you learn to be friendly with your classmates?"
Gu Xi and Qin Yan were waiting for Wang Xu after packing up their things. After hearing this, they looked at each other. Qin Yan spoke first: "What do you mean by this? We have all moved out because of your quarrels. How can we endure it? Why do you think you are right when you quarrel? It is you who has affected others, but you are the first to complain and accuse others of being unfriendly. How can you be so shameless!"
Fang Fang threw the things on the table and said, "You ladies from rich families, your children are born different from others. They don't cry or make a fuss. We normal people are different. When we encounter difficulties, we don't have money to solve them. We can only overcome them and understand each other. This is the basic empathy we all have.
Who can't stand it? Even if they have money, they can move out and live a good life. We won't tolerate those who are arrogant and complain about this and that every day."
Gu Xi sneered: "You think you are right just because you speak loudly? If only one person raised this question, you might be right, but now so many people have raised it, which proves that there is something wrong with you. And you still think that everyone is targeting you and is unfriendly. What kind of twisted logic is this? It is impolite to refuse to apologize when others raise the question.
What is rich, what is a normal person, you are obviously not normal. If you are complaining about your lack of material conditions, that is your problem and your husband's, not someone else's. Good or bad conditions are not a reason for you to make mistakes, and it does not mean that others must tolerate you just because you are poor.
In my opinion, you are an extremely selfish person, and anyone who gets close to you will be in trouble."
Wang Xu and Ding He arrived at the dormitory door to help move things. They saw a loud noise inside and were in a dilemma.
Qin Yan saw the two of them first and said, "That's all the stuff we have. Let's move out now. I don't want to stay here any longer."
Fang Fang was so angry that she wanted to refute, but after seeing the two men, she immediately returned to normal and observed them with her eyes.
Gu Xi and Qin Yan took their small bags and light daily necessities, bedding and suitcases and asked the two men to take them down.
Wang Xu saw that the quilt was loose, so he could only help her tie it up again to prevent it from falling to the ground.
Ding He was not very good at these things, and looked at Wang Xu for help. Wang Xu pretended not to see him and wanted to leave with his things.
Qin Yan slapped him and said, "What's wrong? You can't even do such a small thing."
Ding He felt wronged and retorted angrily: "How come you can't even do such a small thing? You only criticize me."
Gu Xi stood aside and watched the fun, seeing Ding He tying the quilt in a messy manner.
Fang Fang suddenly spoke up: "These two young ladies can't do anything. They don't let the children cry, and they don't care about their classmates. You two will suffer a lot in your life in the future."
Wang Xu originally didn't want to respond, but he got so close that he could only speak out, "I married my wife to let her enjoy life, not to let her work and suffer. A man who can't even take care of his wife and children is a typical irresponsible person, and you should be the one to suffer. Even so, you still want to give birth to a child for him. You are also stupid. You choose how to live your life, and you deserve it."
Ding He admired Wang Xu very much: "I totally agree. I can't do the work myself, so why should I ask Yanyan to do the work? Go away quickly. The closer you are to the bad, the worse it gets. Stay away from people who make you stupid."
Fang Fang was speechless for a moment. She felt the blood boiling in her throat and almost fainted from anger.
After the four people left, she lay down on the table and cried bitterly. The children heard her crying and started crying too. The dormitory was in chaos for a while. The classmate who had just spoken couldn't stand it and left with his book, hiding in other dormitories to read.
Wang Xu and Ding He's words quickly spread and planted seeds among many single female classmates.
She already has the pride of being a chosen one, and she was assigned a job after graduation. She definitely has a bright future, which is better than most men. The three words "college student" are a shining sign, and there is no need to settle for anything less.
On the contrary, Fang Fang's life in school became more and more embarrassing. Many people felt that as a college student, this was the only way out for her after she found an irresponsible man.
So when her husband came back with his sports car, they would often quarrel over no matter what, and they disliked each other more and more. At that time, being a sports car driver was also a top job and could make a lot of money, but because her husband was the eldest son, he gave most of his money to the family to support his younger siblings' education, so she had no sense of superiority and her life didn't improve much.
At first, her husband would still coax her. After all, she was a college student, and it would be face-saving for him to tell others about it. But the quarrels became more and more frequent, and the good days became more and more annoying. So every time Fang Fang quarreled, he chose to deal with it coldly, slamming the door and leaving, and not coming back until Fang Fang calmed down.
The complaints in the dormitory were getting louder and louder. The older the child got, the more noisy he became. When he could roll over and walk, no one dared to take responsibility. I complained several times and the school teacher also talked to me. This affected others. If it didn't work, I would suspend my child and go back to take care of him. This child's problem must be solved before he can go back to school.
There was no other way, the child had to be left to be taken care of by the grandparents in their hometown, and the husband had to give more money to the family, forming a vicious cycle. But at least she felt a lot more relaxed without having to take care of the child, and her mood improved a lot. The two of them argued less, and their relationship gradually warmed up.
Later, Gu Xi heard gossip that Fang Fang was pregnant again. She had severe morning sickness and had to drop out of school and go back.
After hearing this, Qin Yan and Gu Xi both felt that this person might have something wrong with her brain. She had finally solved her problem of having a baby but now she's pregnant again. Isn't this destroying her future?
