Xia Xiao'e didn't say anything for a long time.
Yu Sui waited for a while and felt a little sleepy, but she heard Xia Xiao'e start to ask: "Sister-in-law, hasn't Wang Sibao come to our house recently?"
Yu Sui's heart skipped a beat: "Why, the person you like is Wang Sibao?"
Xia Xiao'e laughed so hard that her body shook. "No, um... hehehe, I can't really say, just... a little, a little bit."
Yu Sui secretly sighed for Yu Cheng and asked, "What do you like about him?"
Xia Xiao'e: "He's smart. He's better at work than I am. He takes the initiative in everything, talks little, and doesn't curse. Actually, the main reason is that his family is poor, and he... doesn't have a mother."
Yu Sui was originally lying flat on her back, but now she couldn't help but turn around and look at Xia Xiao'e and ask, "Huh? Being poor and having no mother are actually the things you like about Wang Sibao?"
Although it was dark and she couldn't see Xia Xiao'e's face clearly, Yu Sui really wanted to see what was going on in her mind.
This is such a weird thing to like!
Xia Xiao'e buried half of her face in the bed sheet, and spoke quite seriously:
"That's not what I meant. But my family is a mess. My mother said she treated me like I was dead, but I know that once she found out I was getting married, she would definitely make a scene. And it would be so embarrassing. If I found someone whose family was better than mine, I wouldn't be able to hold my head up in front of them, and I wouldn't dare to say a word. But I want someone like Wang Sibao, whose family is much poorer than ours, and he has no house and no one to help him. Besides, he doesn't have a mother anymore. Then he probably won't despise me and my family, right?"
It was Yu Sui's turn to be silent.
I can't believe that this is what Xia Xiao'e thinks in her heart.
Ultimately, it's inferiority complex.
I have been hit hard since I was a child and feel that I don’t deserve better.
This mental state, I have to say, is quite sad.
Yu Sui was silent for a moment, but Xia Xiao'e was a little panicked: "Sister-in-law, do you think what I think is wrong? Even Wang Sibao would dislike me?"
Yu Sui: "No, I don't think so. I just...Xiao E, you like Wang Sibao just because of these? Is there nothing else?"
Xia Xiao'e: "Also, his hometown is the same as ours. Then, everyone knows our roots and won't laugh at our family."
"Xiao E, are you afraid that others will laugh at you?"
Xia Xiao'e said quietly:
"Yes. I'm quite afraid of people calling me a 'country bumpkin,' a country bumpkin,' and someone who knows nothing. My classmates all dress well and look good, and many of them can play the piano and sing. I'm lucky to have you make clothes and buy shoes for me. I look no worse than them on the outside, but on the inside... only I know how far behind them I am.
If I were to find the right person, I wouldn't dare ask my parents to imitate them. If they didn't know my family, they might say they liked me, but once they knew my mom was always cursing and my dad was lazy, they wouldn't like me anymore. I'm also afraid to be with them. I only feel comfortable with people from my hometown."
Yu Sui herself had never been in such a state of mind, and she needed to think about it before she could understand Xia Xiao'e's thoughts.
After a moment's silence, Yu Sui said, "Xiao E, what you're thinking makes sense. But... well, when it comes to finding a partner, the most important thing is that you like each other. What you said is also necessary, but it's not the most important thing. Otherwise, why don't you like Yu Cheng? Yu Cheng is also with us, Yu Cheng knows you inside and out, and Yu Cheng won't dislike you, right?"
Unexpectedly, Xia Xiao'e reacted strongly. She didn't even sleep anymore and sat up all of a sudden:
"No! He despises me! He despises me so much! He says I'm dark, skinny, unsophisticated, and even laughs at me for not attending a good university. Humph! He's the best at despising me! If he wasn't your brother, I would have beaten him! He's the one who always despises me!"
Yu Sui: “…” Good man, Yu Cheng, you’ve shot yourself in the foot!
But, isn't this exactly how Yu Cheng, that silly boy who just fell in love, wants to attract attention?
Xia Xiao'e, being so pleased just shows how much she hopes Yu Cheng will affirm her!
There's hope!
Yu Sui laughed in the darkness, her laughter making the bed shake. "Xiao E, have you ever heard the saying, 'Those who complain about goods are the ones who buy them'? It's not a very nice saying, but it makes a lot of sense, huh?"
Xia Xiao'e: "What do you mean?"
"Oh, forget it. Just think about it yourself. Go to sleep. It's already late. No more talking. Wait until you really like someone, not the kind who weighs the pros and cons, but someone you like from the bottom of your heart, then tell me."
Yu Sui turned over to the outside of the bed and closed her eyes.
Xia Xiao'e couldn't stand it anymore and kept turning her over: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Sister-in-law, what do you want to say? Sister-in-law?"
My sister-in-law just refused to respond.
Xia Xiao'e almost didn't sleep all night.
When it was dawn, he started fiddling with Yu Sui again: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
Yu Sui stretched lazily, without opening her eyes, and said vaguely: "Xiao E, what do you mean? If you don't feel anything in your heart, would you have to keep pulling me like this all night? There are some things that I don't have to say, you have to think about it yourself. Stop pulling me, I really want to sleep."
Xia Xiao'e became quiet.
However, there was a noise next door. Sun Yuying got up to make breakfast, Yu Hemiao got up to wash clothes, and little Tangyuan cried for milk. The noises were all mixed together, making it impossible to sleep.
Yu Sui remembered that she had promised Yu Hemiao to go to school to register her child, so she got up.
When Yu Hemiao saw Yu Sui stand up, she wanted to ask something, but the children were all silent and Sun Yuying looked unhappy, so she held back.
After everyone had finally finished breakfast, Yu Sui took Yu Hemiao to a nearby primary school.
On the way, Yu Hemiao couldn't help but ask, "You sent someone there yesterday, and it took a long time to get back. Why did that woman keep bothering you?"
Yu Sui shook her head: "No, something happened to her child."
Yu Hemiao was kindhearted and immediately became nervous: "Ah? What happened?"
I still had to tell Yu Hemiao something I hadn't told Han Duomi. Yu Sui said it briefly:
"She didn't live with her husband's family. She rented a house outside and lived on her own. At night, when no one helped to look after the child, she ran out and cried to us. She just didn't have the mentality of growing up. As a result, after I sent her home, just as she was about to go, she found the child had fallen under the bed. She was scared and ran out to call me to check.
The child was indeed motionless at the time, and I was actually quite scared. Furthermore, I noticed the floor tiles in her house were very uneven, and the child was so small, I don't know how she fell. I guess she hit the back of her head, so anything could have happened. When we helped rush her to the hospital, she was already having convulsions. Sigh, I thought there would be some problem anyway."
