"No, you can't! It was obviously Xiaomi who was admitted to college, not a younger brother. ”

Elaine retorted in a panic, she couldn't understand why Ai's mother could say such things in front of the family.

But what she couldn't accept even more was the attitude of the rest of the family.

Ai Qianjin didn't care who was admitted to the university, he only asked:

"I'm not tired of going to college, but I won't do it if I'm tired."

Anyway, he is the most favored one in the family, and even if he doesn't do anything, someone will raise him.

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, it's easy to go to college, I can go out and play casually and sleep in class, I can be assigned a job as soon as I graduate, and I sit in the office and drink tea every day."

Ai Mu eagerly described the benefits of going to college with Ai Qianjian, for fear that Ai Qianjin would not want to study.

And Elaine's opposition didn't care at all.

"Mom, it can't be like this, the person who was admitted was Xiaomi, not him."

Ai Qianqian let out a disdainful snort.

"Mom, look at her, it seems that someone rarely goes to college, doesn't she just don't want me to go if she looks like this, then I won't go, lest I work hard to go to school and earn money to support my family."

When Ai Mu heard this, she immediately panicked, and coaxed him while putting meat and vegetables in his bowl.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, she didn't get in, so she was jealous that you could go to college. And it's the best university in Jiangcheng, it's not hard, you can read it and play casually, you can get food and money every month, it's very easy. ”

Ai Qianqian lost his temper, but he didn't want to go to Jiangcheng University, and Ai's mother kept coaxing him with a good voice next to him.

Elaine looked at this scene and felt ridiculous.

"What do you see? Don't apologize to my brother soon, if he doesn't go to college because of what you said, you will wait to be bullied by your in-laws. You think I'm doing it for my own good, I'm all for your little enemies. Your brother is a boy, and when he grows up, he will have a bright face, aren't you still a few sisters? For your brother's sake, you can marry a little better, and your mother-in-law doesn't dare to kick your nose in the face, it's better for you not to help me persuade my brother to still talk nonsense there. ”

Elaine looked at Ai's mother, who was angry at her, and her mouth grew several times before she could make a sound.

Why is this happening?

Why are they so selfish?

This is the university that Amy worked so hard to get into, what does it matter to them?

Thinking of this, Elaine had a terrible headache and couldn't help but wonder, are these people really relatives who are related to her and Amy?

Do they deserve it?

Here, Ai's mother was still pulling her arm hard and asked her to help coax Ai forward to replace Amy in Jiangcheng University.

"Why are you?"

Elaine's arm was pulled red, and she finally yelled at them, then turned and ran out.

Ai's father, who had not spoken, slammed his chopsticks on the table.

"If you dare to go out of this door today, I'll break your legs!"

Elaine's legs flashed, and she trembled uncontrollably, and she could no longer step towards the door that was close at hand.

"I just said that I shouldn't let her take the college entrance examination, just because this girl is becoming more and more disobedient, I said that she wants to reply a few words, and I really think that taking the college entrance examination once will be superior?"

Ai Mu said it in a weird way, and immediately spoke to Ai Qianqian gently.

The other people at the table also continued to eat with chopsticks, and no one went to pull Elaine back, but Elaine no longer had the courage to rush out of the door.

"I'm sorry...... Xiaomi, I'm sorry ......"

She meditated painfully in her heart, ashamed to the extreme.

On the other side, in the bright room, a large family was eating around the table.

After seeing Elaine, Amy walked to the black market, relying on the supermarket to make a lot of good things.

Now there is an old-fashioned copper boiler on the table that she bought for rice.

This kind of pot has been available since ancient times, and it looks similar to a hot pot pot, but instead of using electricity, it is charcoal fire underneath.

Amy suddenly wanted to eat hot pot when she saw it, so before she got home, she secretly took out the hot pot base from the supermarket, tore off the outer packaging, and put it in the paper bag used to eat the pancakes, telling the others that it was given by someone else when she bought the pot.

The weather was cold, and they hadn't been in Jiangcheng for long, so they hadn't been able to grow vegetables in the yard yet.

Amy used all the fresh dishes from the supermarket, and she originally wanted to add hot pot balls, but she had to give up for fear of arousing suspicion.

But even without meat, the fragrant hot pot soup base has already surprised others.

"Is this the trick of the people in the city, it's the first time I know that this dish can be cooked like this, and the taste is not bad."

Because there are elderly people and children at home, Amy also intimately adjusted the spiciness, ensuring that everyone can eat it.

Ming's mother has seen pots, but this is the first time to eat this taste.

She couldn't help but glance at Amy curiously, and secretly felt that this girl was different from other educated youth.

Mingke noticed her mother's gaze, coughed lowly, and changed the subject stiffly:

"Niuniu will start school tomorrow, are you ready?"

Niuniu swallowed the potato slices in her mouth and nodded quickly.

"Ready, my sister bought me a small schoolbag, and the teacher gave me paper and pen when I signed up last time."

Niuniu knew that the teacher couldn't talk about things casually, but because she was at home, Ming's mother and Mingke were very good to her, so she had no scruples.

Ai Mu also smiled:

"I gave her some questions to do today, and she answered them quickly and well, so there must be no problem in the third grade at this level."

Niuniu's face turned red and she whispered thank you embarrassedly.

After dinner, because the pot was made by Amy, Grandma Wang and Niuniu rushed to wash the dishes, but she couldn't help but go to the old man's house.

Ming's mother has not been in good health since she returned to the city, and she went back to her room after eating, while Amy and Mingke stood in the courtyard and talked.

"In the future, try to eat as little as possible tonight."

Mingke had long guessed that Amy was different, but she never revealed her secret, nor did she ask about it.

But judging from the pot she ate today, Amy probably forgot her sense of proportion because she was happy to go back to the city.

Amy also knew that she was taking a risk in doing so, so she rubbed her toes on the ground twice.

"Not anymore...... I heard from my grandmother that you went to the old house today, how is it, are those people willing to move? ”

Mingke looked at the dark sky above him and shook his head slightly.

"It's still the same as before, no one wants to be the first to move out. Coupled with the fact that the situation in other houses in the city was similar, they were even more bold, thinking that no one could cure them. I'm worried now that the house will never be returned, and I'm worried that they're going to destroy it on purpose. ”

He has been in contact with the people who live in the two houses lately, and he understands what kind of virtues they are.

"Don't worry, there's always a way to fix things. Now I can't spare my hands to take care of this area, and when the schools start and everything is on the right track, a charter will definitely come out. Now that the house has been returned to your family, there is no reason for those people to just keep it and not leave. And we even came to Jiangcheng for the college entrance examination, and we all came to Jiangcheng together, what else can be difficult for us? ”

It is precisely because the two of them have overcome so many difficulties together in the past that Amy is now not afraid of all difficulties.

Mingke was infected by her optimism, and the nerves that had been tense were also relaxed.

"Well, sooner or later, I'll get it back. However, I see that you don't seem to be in the right state when you eat today, did you encounter something? ”

Amy was stunned and turned her head to look at him.

Today she was just a little disappointed, but she didn't think she showed it, how did Mingke find out?

Her eyes were so easy to understand that Mingke was a little uncomfortable.

Could it be that his gaze always couldn't help but fall on her, so he could see it by his eyes?

Luckily, Amy didn't really care about the answer to this question, and only wondered for a few seconds before talking to him about the reason.

"Elaine is very nice, I've always wanted to take her out of that house, and staying there will only be ruined by someone else's life. But she was hesitating, she didn't seem to be very willing to come out, so I didn't know what to do. Maybe the next time I see her, she's married to a gangster I don't know. ”

Amy can directly attack the rest of the Ai family and even use methods, but there is no way to use those methods to deal with Elaine.

However, she couldn't watch Elaine being pushed into the fire pit by Ai's mother and becoming the next victim.

One more day that Elaine stays in Ai's house will be more dangerous, and if it really comes to the point where she is sold by Ai's mother, Elaine will definitely be very hurt.

Amy tries to save her, but she doesn't cooperate.

Mingke stared at her side face for a while, and after sorting out the wording, he said:

"I understand your feelings, but everyone is an independent individual, your sister is not a child who doesn't understand anything, no matter what choice she makes, there must be a reason for her, what you can do is to have the ability to help her when she needs help, and the rest can only rely on her to go by herself."

No matter how good the relationship is, no matter how close it is, you can't live this life for others.

Amy stood in silence for a long time, everything that didn't deserve to be called home flashed through her mind.

She was extremely sure that it was a bottomless black hole, and she knew that Elaine was being swallowed by the black hole, and she wanted to pull Elaine out.

But Mingke is right, she can't make decisions for Elaine, she interferes too much in Elaine's life, otherwise there will be no difference between her and Ai Mu's first-class.

"Whew...... I'm just worried if I put her on the point of no return because I didn't forcibly pull her out......"

Amy exhaled deeply, looking up at the little flying insects attracted by the lights in the room, and watching them pounce on the light in their eyes.

"But now I understand."

No matter what, as long as she is strong enough, she will definitely be able to protect Elaine.

Leave the rest to Elaine to choose.
