Chapter 18: What a bad thing
Chapter 18: What a bad thing
Ye Rong moved into the Tang family when she was ten years old. At that time, she had just lost her father, and the whole person was still in grief and did not come out, so her mother brought her into a completely unfamiliar environment. When she stood in the living room of the Tang family, which had a bright floor and could be used as a mirror, she heard her mother say to the man sitting on the sofa flipping through the newspaper in an almost begging tone: "Mr. Tang, I beg you, just take in my daughter, her father just died, I can only take her by my side and take care of her." β
The man who was called Mr. Tang just lazily changed his sitting position, seemingly deaf to her words. Tang Linle, who was concentrating on playing with the rag doll on the side, suddenly covered his nose and shouted unhappily: "Dad, she is so dirty, did she come out of the garbage heap?" β
The child's unintentional words made the two adults stunned at the same time, and Ye Rong hid behind Ye's mother even more crampedly, and whispered: "Mom, let's go, I don't want to stay here..."
Her words were quickly drowned out in Mother Ye's silent eye warning. Mother Ye continued to lower her voice and said, "Mr. Tang, our Xiao Rong is very well-behaved, and don't look at her small, she will do all kinds of housework." If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, I wouldn't have bothered your family. β
Tang Tian nodded, as if he was looking at Ye Rong with his eyes. Ten-year-old Ye Rong is very short, but she is wearing a blue and white school uniform that does not fit well. The neckline of the uniform has been yellowed, and you can still see brushes of various colors on the sleeves. It is not an exaggeration to say that her hair looks like dry grass, and it may be the reason why she hasn't washed her hair for a long time, and the scalp points on it are faintly visible.
On the other hand, Tang Linle. Ten-year-old Tang Linle has fair and smooth skin, has his own clothing room, and wears whatever he wants every day. Her hair was dark and bright, and those various hairpins made her even more beautiful.
Tang Tian's inquiring gaze made Ye Rong at a loss, and just when Ye Rong felt that she was going to die in her gaze, she heard the man say to Ye's mother casually: "Okay, you take her down." After saying that, he thought of something, and added: "You take her to take a good bath and wash her hair, aren't you afraid that she will be teased by her classmates when she goes to school like this?" β
Since then, Ye Rong began to live in the Tang family, and borrowed Tang Tian's principal's relationship to successfully squeeze into the No. 7 Middle School, which is slightly famous in City A. Ye Rong's grades in school are not good, but fortunately, she has a positive and enterprising heart. When people gave up in self-denial when they knew that their grades were not good, she was the only one who firmly believed that the stupid bird flew first.
Tang Linle's attitude towards her at the beginning was not very good, nor was it too bad. To be precise, she didn't take her seriously at all. She had countless friends at school and endless cram schools after school. Whether it is life before the age of ten or life after the age of ten, Tang Linle's life is a world that Ye Rong has never set foot in.
Tang Linle is undoubtedly the envy of Ye Rong. She has a mother who loves her, a father who loves her, and elders who spoil her. She wants something, pout, and squirm, even if that thing is expensive, even if that thing is of no use to Tang Linle, they will buy it.
But what about her Ye Rong? Her mother worked as a domestic worker in someone else's house when she was very young, and the hands that came back to hold her were always rough. Her father was a gambler, and the only electric appliance in the house, the washing machine, was lost in one of his big gambles. She wanted something, but before she could speak, her mother made her attitude clear on the side: "The family is almost out of money to buy rice, and you still think about buying these useless things all day long?" β
Their relationship really became delicate when they were fifteen years old. On that day, the Tang family was invited to a particularly important party, and Tang Linle wandered in front of the fitting mirror countless times but did not find a dress that satisfied him. was upset, and saw Ye Rong hiding outside the window and peeking at her trying on clothes. She casually pulled a piece of clothing and threw it at her, and said angrily: "This dress is given to you, and please don't lie in front of my window and peek at me getting dressed if you have nothing to do in the future." If I get caught next time, I'll sue sΓΉ dad. β
That dress was a pink dress. Tang Linle couldn't remember whether her uncle bought it for her or her aunt bought it for her. She is the eldest princess of the Tang family, and her beautiful clothes and shoes fill almost her entire cloakroom. For her, one more dress and one less are not inherently different. But for Ye Rong, that kind of clothes may be worth all the clothes she wore before.
Although she wanted this dress very much, she was taught by Mother Ye that she couldn't ask for it if she wasn't her own, so Ye Rong still reluctantly refused: "I don't want it, you can keep it for yourself." β
Tang Linle didn't expect her to refuse. Jokes, it's always been her rejection of others, saying don't want to others, okay? This Ye Rong, she kindly sent her a dress, she didn't say thank you, just forget it, and said no as if she was disgusted. Who does she think she is? If it weren't for her father's kindness to take her in, it is estimated that she would not even have a place to live now!
Tang Linle was already in a bad mood, and being made by her like this was even worse. She threw her clothes viciously to the trash can on the side, not knowing whether to talk to herself or to Ye Rong: "It's really a bad thing." β
At night, Ye Rong saw that the beautiful dress was still lying quietly in the trash can, as if she was crying silently about being abandoned by her master. She thought about it, but picked up her clothes, washed them clean, and hung them in front of her bed.
has lived in the Tang family for three years, and she has naturally seen Tang Linle's eldest lady's temper. Sometimes in the middle of the night, she would be heard crying in her room and shouting for spicy rice noodles. Most parents must be unhappy to be woken up so late, or tell their children that they can't buy spicy rice noodles on the road so late. But Tang's father and Tang's mother will immediately dress up and drive to buy.
Until he grew up, he faced all kinds of unreasonable Tang Linle. Tang Tian seemed to realize that all their love for Tang Linle in the past was actually the reason why she became what she is now. They let her know that no matter what I do or what I want, my parents will satisfy me for no reason, unconditionally and without restrictions. Even if I were to kill someone, one of them would buy me a knife, and the other would hide a body for me.
The next day, when Ye Rong wore the washed clothes to school, she thought she would get a wave of envy from her classmates around her. She thought that when she changed into such a beautiful dress, everyone's eyes would change when they looked at her. But neither. Even everyone's eyes when they look at her are full of meaning.
When she reached her seat, she heard a girl in the back seat sneer at her companion, "Cut, who was she before?" It's just the daughter of a small domestic worker in Tang Linle's family. As for the dress on her body, I heard that Tang Linle threw it in the trash can, and she was embarrassed to pick it up and wear it on her body, and even wore it to school to show off? Hey, if I were her, I would have been ashamed and ashamed. β
Ye Rong's self-esteem was shattered on that day that year, as if she had fallen from a high altitude.
