Change the status quo
Because the landlord had just thrown their things out in a hurry, the inside of the house was turned into a mess, making the already untidy house even more unsightly. It wasn't a very small living room, with almost nowhere to stand.
After Xue Mei hastily cleaned up, there was a place for them to sit.
After a period of silence, Ye Nianyin stretched out her hand to the driver and bodyguard who had been standing behind her just now, and said, "Bag." ”
The man bent down slightly and handed the bag with both hands.
Ye Nianyin said to Xue Mei's mother and son while rummaging through the bag: "All the cash in my bag was just given to that crazy woman who looks down on people, but I also brought a bank card." Ye Nianyin made a movement in his hand, took out a card from it, and put it in front of them. Oh, I found it. The password is Zhengyang's birthday. There should be tens of thousands of dollars in it, you can use it first, and I'll pay you again every month in the future. ”
Shen Zhengyang clenched his back molars, his fists clenched so that his fingertips were bloodless, and his body trembled uncontrollably from holding back his anger.
Xue Mei looked at her son's appearance, and naturally knew what he was thinking. So he pushed the card back and rejected her with a tactful smile: "Nianyin... Miss Ye, no need. Thank you for your kindness. You've already paid the rent for our mother and son, so why are you embarrassed to ask for any other money? ”
"Auntie, what do you say? This is what I should do, what do we talk about between us, and what is polite to me. Ye Nianyin picked up the card and stuffed it into Xue Mei's hand, holding her tightly.
Shen Zhengyang grabbed Ye Nianyin's wrist with one hand and pulled her hand down, and with the other hand stuffed the card back into her hand. Staring at her with scarlet eyes, she said, "Take your broken card, and I'll give you back the rest of the money." ”
Ye Nianyin was obviously frightened by Shen Zhengyang at this time, and there would not have been such a terrifying expression on his face before.
"Just... Zhengyang? ”
"It's getting late, you should go back, walk slowly." Shen Zhengyang turned his back on her and gave the order to evict the guests.
After that, he ate Xue Mei's cooking in a daze, and it was still those dishes that were difficult to swallow, but Shen Zhengyang ate two full bowls of them. In the chaos, he was about to wash the dishes when he suddenly felt the vibration of his mobile phone. turned on his phone and stared blankly at the message Zhou Yingru sent him for a long time. The tip of my nose was sore, and for the first time in these days, I had the urge to cry. He sniffled and blinked his eyes a few times, and his long, thick eyelashes were covered with small, bright and clear droplets. After he resisted the urge to cry, he replied to Zhou Yingru.
"No, you wash the dishes first. I don't have anything to do, I just want to talk to you. ”
"Hmm."
"Then you get busy first. By the way, remember to do your homework. And go to bed early. ”
"Hmm."
Zhou Yingru looked at the two "ums" he sent in a row, and there was a trace of displeasure in her heart. But it's nothing, because Zhengyang is not good at words.
Unexpectedly, he finally posted again: "It's good to have you." ”
It's good to have you?!!! It's good to have you!!!! Yes! You! True! Good!
Zhou Yingru's pupils shrank suddenly, and the back of her hand wiped her hugely open eyes twice, and after realizing that she was not mistaken, she gently touched her crimson cheeks and muttered to herself: "It's good to have me... Hey... It's good to have me..."
Since Ye Nianyin left, Xue Mei found that her son's state was particularly wrong. Especially today, I didn't say that the food I cooked was unpalatable, and I ate so much, which is too abnormal. She knew that today's incident had hit her son too hard and had frustrated his self-esteem. It doesn't matter if you want your face or not, he is still young, and it is the period to save face. I must be uncomfortable in my heart, so I have been trying to find an opportunity to persuade him. Xue Mei observed him from the kitchen wall for a long time, and found that he actually laughed quietly. She thought that her son was too stimulated, and asked uneasily: "Son, are you okay?" ”
Shen Zhengyang heard Xue Mei calling himself, put away his smile, and turned around. But the face does look a lot better.
"Something, I've got something."
"It's okay, it's okay. Well?! Something? Xue Mei didn't listen, taking it for granted that he would definitely say that it was okay, after all, that was his style. But he actually said that he had something, and said it twice. Xue Mei became more and more uneasy, walked over and hugged him, stroked the back of his head and asked worriedly, "Son, don't scare your mother." Don't take today's events to heart. No matter what happens, there is a mother to carry it. You just have to study hard and leave the rest of the matter alone. As she spoke, her eyes glistened with tears, but her words were full of determination.
Xue Mei is not a strong woman, and she is even a little cowardly, otherwise she would not even dare to return to her mother's house after the decline of the Shen family. In the past, their Xue family was also a family with a head and a face, and Xue Mei met Shen Zhengyang's father Shen Xubo when his career was at its most brilliant. So the Xue family couldn't wait to marry her. In business, the two families are helping each other, and the days are getting more and more prosperous. But after Shen Xubo's drug smuggling was exposed, the Xue family also announced that they had severed relations with Xue Mei as soon as possible, and said that they would not let her step into the door of the Xue family again. The Xue family's desperate attempt to get rid of this matter has nothing to do with it, and outsiders can't help but sigh: It's really a hot and cold world, and people are indifferent! Xue Mei is the youngest daughter of the Xue family. It stands to reason that although the relationship is severed remotely from the outside world, it is not really ignorant of it. Her parents and two brothers are really so ruthless, they should help in private, right? But that's how cruel it is. After the accident, Xue Mei didn't even see her mother's family in person, so she had to live alone with Shen Zhengyang. Later, I heard that although the Xue family claimed that they had not colluded with Shen Xubo and had not participated in this matter at all, they could not escape the fate of being excluded and hostile. In addition, without the support of the Shen family, the company is also declining day by day. After being kicked out of their home, their mother and son don't know where to go now. They are like two pieces of dilapidated duckweed, fluttering, and somewhere to settle down.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong. During this period of wandering, Xue Mei took Shen Zhengyang to the dark alleys of various neighborhoods, the basements of buildings, and even lived in the bridge tunnels under the overpass for a few nights. Although there are some household chores that she can't do well, such as cooking and cleaning. But she never cried out that she was tired, never shed a tear, and... He never complained about Shin Jeongyang's father. Shin Zhengyang was still young, and she wanted him to continue his education, so she hurriedly found a school so that he could continue his education. Unexpectedly, the learning environment of that kind of school was so poor, and after two weeks, Shin Zhengyang did not grow much in his studies and learned to smoke. Xue Mei was so angry that she didn't sleep for two days, sighing all day. When Shen Zhengyang saw his mother like this, he realized that he had gone too far. So he bent his knees, knelt in front of Xue Mei with a plop, raised his hand and gave himself a slap, crying and promising his mother that he would never smoke again in the future. Xue Mei looked at him, then hugged him tightly in her arms, and only said one word in his ear: "It's Mom I'm sorry for you." Then Shen Zhengyang felt a warmth on his neck, he couldn't see Xue Mei's expression at that time, and he didn't know if she was really crying, maybe she really felt sad in her heart that time... This incident also made her decide that she must let Shin Zhengyang go to a good school, and she must also let Shin Zhengyang receive the best education and become the best person in the world.
After that, Xue Mei stopped letting Shen Zhengyang go to that school. One day, she hid from Shen Zhengyang and put down her body, and cheekily begged Ji Fuze's father, Ji Junzhi. begged him to look at the face of the previous relationship between the two families, and help Shen Zhengyang find a school with a better environment. Although Ji Junzhi was reluctant in every way, the moment he saw Xue Mei kneeling down for him, the contempt and disgust in his eyes turned into surprise and sympathy. He couldn't stand it, he waved his hand like a beggar, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll help you one last time, don't come to me again in the future." ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you..." Xue Mei listened to Ji Junzhi's words, and she couldn't say anything but thank you. I felt that this was not enough to express my gratitude to her, and made a gesture to kowtow to him.
Ji Jun was stunned, and immediately reacted. He picked her up and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. Don't worry, I'll find him a good school. ”
After coming back, Xue Mei told Shen Zhengyang that she was going to beg Ji Junzhi to find him a good school, and Ji Junzhi agreed. Nothing more is said for the rest.
Shen Zhengyang was puzzled in his heart, thinking that Ji Junzhi would not agree to help their mother and son so easily. When he knew that Shen Xubo wanted to drag him into the water to do that kind of shady business together, he was furious and disgusted with their family. How could you say yes so easily? But he asked Xue Mei repeatedly, and Xue Mei was exactly the same rhetoric, so he didn't ask any more.
Shen Zhengyang, who was suddenly hugged and comforted by Xue Mei, looked a little overwhelmed, patted her on the back gently, and said to her, "Mom, no, what I said is not what you think." Listen to me first. ”
Xue Mei was slightly stunned, and then let go of him.
“?”
Shen Zhengyang put his hands on Xue Mei's shoulders and said to her very seriously and seriously: "Mom, thank you for taking care of me for so long. I know you've done a lot for me, but I don't want to do it anymore. Yes, we have nothing now. There is no money, no status, and no one will care about our dignity and face, and anyone can trample on us at will. But I'm fed up with these days, and I want to change this situation and let the two of us live ordinary lives. Do you know? When I saw the sky full of money smashing on my face, the terrible and fickle face of the fat woman, and the sight of Nianyin standing in front of me and looking down on me, my dignity, my faith, collapsed in an instant. It also broke through the only remaining layer of my mental defense. In the future, you can stop working so hard and let me support this family. I will study hard, live hard, and fight for the future of both of us. ”
Xue Mei looked at the child in front of her distressedly, feeling that he had begun to be sensible and had suddenly grown up a lot.
The next day, Shin Zhengyang came to the classroom early and began to review the knowledge points and classic exercises he had talked about yesterday. Because he was too engrossed, he didn't notice Zhou Yingru, who was standing behind him a long time ago.
"Zhengyang really has a hard work!" Zhou Yingru said suddenly.
Shen Zhengyang was taken aback by her sudden voice, but quickly calmed down, smiled lightly at her, tilted his head and said, "Yes, I also listened to you." ”
Zhou Yingru stood in place stupidly, feeling her heart pounding, and her head kept thinking: "I also listen to you... There are also good listens to you..."
I don't know why, every word Shen Zhengyang said could scratch the most sensitive part of her heart, controlling her involuntary palpitations. And now in the bottom of her heart, it was like a fire added to the withered yellow grass, burning eagerly. The sparks went down her neck, her ears, her cheeks...
