94. Mind reading (ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass)
I thought, maybe she's a shareholder, or an owner, or something. β
"Aunt Wang is a part-time worker, and even the salary is very low, in addition to her basic room and board, the monthly salary given by the reservoir is also a basic salary level. β
"......" Tong Yu didn't expect it, so how did she maintain such luxurious clothes?
"Aunt Wang, when I was young, my family background was good and beautiful, and my eyes were above the top, but I married what we often call a poor scholar. Regardless of her parents' opposition or something, she likes that high spirit, and the more others look down on her, the more she likes it. Later, the family had no choice, so they took some money to do business for the man. The man was also quite competitive, he made a lot of money at that time, had a child with Aunt Wang, and lived a very happy life. β
"Hmm. Tong Yu nodded, since he said so, the rest of the story must not be too smooth.
"It's also quite a clichΓ© story, the man wrapped the second wife, and wanted Aunt Wang to go out of the house, so he used those indiscriminate means to pour dirty water on Aunt Wang, saying that she didn't abide by women's morals and the like, so angry that Aunt Wang didn't want anything, just the child. The man refused, probably because he was afraid that he would not be able to give birth to a son after retribution, so he wanted to rob Aunt Wang, and finally bankrupted Aunt Wang's family, and her mother was overwhelmed and committed suicide. β
Tong Yu gasped, he thought it was just the story of a negative man, but he didn't expect this man to be so vicious.
"I don't know the specific details, it's all about the older generation. In short, the Aunt Wang I saw was a proud person who had nothing, but still refused to let go of her burden as a young lady. Ai Xin suddenly blinked, smiled and looked at him, "Have you ever heard a sentence that is the greatest respect for a disabled person?"
"What?" Tong Yu tilted his head and looked at her.
"That's it...... Don't treat him like a disabled person!" Ai Xin grinned heartily, as if it were a joke.
β......β
Tong Yu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to his senses. It's not that Ai Xin doesn't want to help Aunt Wang, nor is she hard-hearted. She is just using her own way, and the most tactful way, to preserve the last dignity of a down-and-out person.
Such behavior seems to ...... It's the same as when she invested in herself, but hid it from herself. Ai Xin almost didn't have to speculate to get the finger out of his pitiful, sensitive and fragile self-esteem. In order not to break this self-esteem, she would rather suffer a dumb loss, be misunderstood, and lose her money than tell herself......
"Aunt Wang is very difficult, Tao Li and I probably wanted to be righteous and brave, and went to help Aunt Wang snipe that man's company and avenge his bankruptcy. thought that this time, Aunt Wang would be able to fight for her children back and live happily. As a result, he didn't expect the child to bite back, hating Aunt Wang for breaking up his so-called family, and would rather follow the father who was indiscriminate than return to Aunt Wang. Tao Li and I felt a little sorry, if it weren't for our assumptions, maybe Aunt Wang wouldn't be so desperate. So I found the friend in the reservoir and placed Aunt Wang in it. β
"Flutter. Tong Yu chuckled lightly and looked at Ai Xin with some admiration, "You guys are quite like the kind of chivalrous people in ancient times." β
"Chivalry, it's just personal heroism, and the last good thing was not done, but it made Aunt Wang lose the goal of life. Ai Xin sighed and raised his head again, "Fortunately, the job of the reservoir is quite suitable for Aunt Wang, it doesn't require much physical exertion, and it is decent." Coupled with the lines that Aunt Wang left behind before, there are many people who think that she is the owner of the reservoir or something. My friend knew about her thoughts, and she never cared. For him, Aunt Wang's company is also precious. β
"Hmm. Tong Yu nodded, "When did you find out that I was curious about this?"
"When I pulled you, I saw that you didn't ask me, and I thought you could guess. Later, I saw that you were not in a good mood, and I thought that you were probably still thinking about it. I didn't say it, but I thought it was Aunt Wang's private matter. But I want to talk to you, it's not a big deal. Ai Xin looked at him and shook his head, a bitterness appeared on his face, "Teacher Tong, I said that there will be nothing to hide, there are some things you want to ask and want to know, you can ask, I promise to know everything." β
β...... Well. Tong Yu didn't know what to answer for a while, so he had to answer first.
Ai Xin is right, he has a lot of things he wants to ask and want to know, but he has always held it in his heart. He always felt that if Ai wanted to say it, he would take the initiative to tell him. But he sometimes ignores a problem, Ai Xin is not a mind reader, and it is impossible to take care of everyone's emotions and careful thoughts forever. Many things, if you don't ask, Ai Xin really doesn't know what she thinks.
"I know, in the future, if there is anything I have to say, I will try to say it as bluntly as possible. Tong Yu took a bite of the fish, avoided Ai Xin's gaze, and replied a little hesitantly.
"But how do I think you have something else on your mind right now?" Ai Xin tilted his head and looked at him with some amusement.
"Okay......" Tong Yu nodded, hesitated, but still spoke, "I see that you have been absent-minded since you came up, is there something wrong with Li Shengting?"
"Li Shengting? Of course not. Ai Xin was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he received a call when he was in the reservoir, mentioned it to Tong Yu, and quickly explained, "It's all solved over there, and when I called just now, I got a relatively sudden news...... Tao Li's mother is sick and is now in the hospital. β
"Sick?" Tong Yu put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at her with some confusion, "Entering the hospital should be a more serious problem, don't you need to take a look?"
"Well, go. Ai Xin had a smile on her face, "But I'll eat with you first, it's rare that the two of us can stay so leisurely for a day." β
"You, you, if you have something to do, go first, you don't have to stay at home with me, it's not like I can't eat alone. Tong Yu touched her head with a smile and looked at her with some understanding.
He still remembers that on the day of his birthday party, Ai Xin went to visit a friend's family in another place, so he was so late to come. With her righteous character, she is probably scratching her heart with a hundred claws at this moment.
"Really?" Ai Xin looked at him hesitantly, but his hand was already grasping the phone on the table.
"Really, go for it, go for it. Tong Yu felt funny and waved his hand, "Hurry up, otherwise I will regret it in a while." β
"Ah, Teacher Tong, you're really good!" Ai Xin stood up and gave Tong Yu a big hug across the chair, and then laughed relaxedly, "Then I'll go first, I'll come back early!"
"It's okay, you take a good look, and don't let Tao Li be too anxious. β
"Well, I know!" Ai Xin had already run to the entrance, picked up the coat hanging on the hanger mountain, and draped it on his body, "Then I'll go first!"
"Go, go, ......"
Tong Yu was stunned, and before he finished speaking, Ai Xin had already run out of the door and closed the door with a "bang".
He saw all kinds of dishes on the table in front of him, but for some reason, his heart became a little bitter.
I have been eating alone for more than 20 years, why do I suddenly feel so unaccustomed to eating alone today?
