8 The taste of being born again is too good
The mother and daughter didn't dare to let the family wait, and arrived at the coffee shop half an hour early, but they went too early and didn't open the door yet, so they could only wait at the door.
The coffee shop is near the school, and some students who need to make up classes pass by the door, and they will look at Shang Jing more, and Wen Qiong followed the gaze of those students. The sunlight fell mottled light and shadow through the gaps between the leaves, hitting Shang Jing's face, her skin was porcelain white and transparent, but the years made those eyes have a different style. It turned out that her mother was so beautiful.
Shang Jing in her previous life only had a scar on her face, a slightly curved back, and the severed toes in her memory. Later, Shang Jing almost hid at home, her face was haggard, her eyes were crazy, and she was not in good spirits at that time. Wen Qiong's in-laws didn't let her visit her mother, and it didn't take long for Shang Jing to die.
Wen Qiong stepped forward and held Shang Jing's hand. Shang Jing was slightly stunned, and also held her hand. The sun was shining so brightly outside, they only found out today.
Not long after, Teacher Wu arrived in a hurry, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Shang Jing, Wen Qiong's mother only had a slightly frightened look in his impression.
"Hello, I'm Wen Qiong's homeroom teacher, and my surname is Wu." Teacher Wu stepped forward and politely stretched out his hand to Shang Jing.
"Hello, hello." Shang Jing shook it tremblingly, a little restrained, "Thank you, Teacher Wu, Wen Qiong has caused you trouble at school." ”
"It's fine." Teacher Wu nodded, and let go with a light grip, his palm was a little hot.
At this moment, the door of the coffee shop opened, and the three of them walked in and found a place to sit. After a while, a car stopped in front of the coffee shop, and a man with shiny hair strode in with a briefcase.
Wen Qiong kept staring at the door, and when she saw someone coming in, she stood up and said hello, "Lawyer Zhou?" ”
"It's me, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, there was a bit of a traffic jam on the road just now." Zhou Shenyan is steady. He shook hands with Teacher Wu first, and then looked at Shang Jing and Wen Qiong. Teacher Wu gave up his position, and he sat down with a slight bow.
Shang Jing shook her hand and poured him tea, "Thank you for your hard work, Lawyer Zhou." ”
Zhou Shenyan smiled, "You are Wen Qiong's mother?" ”
Shang Jing nodded, "Ah, yes." She doesn't dare to look at people, since marrying Wen Ling, she hasn't gone out much, she keeps a certain distance from any man, and she is a little cramped in the face of strangers.
"You're so pretty." Zhou Shenyan praised sincerely.
Shang Jing's hand shook, almost knocking over the teapot, Wen Qiong hurriedly reached out to hold it, "Mom, I'll come." ”
"Oh."
Wen Qiong sighed secretly, Shang Jing is like this, if no one helps, she can't get married at all, she doesn't even have the courage to face outsiders, Chu Chu is pitiful, and she is weak.
Zhou Shenyan smiled: "Let's start, I have some information here, you can take a look." Regarding this kind of divorce case, as long as the evidence is sufficient, it is actually not difficult. But as a mother, you have to find a job first, so that Wen Qiong's custody can be easier to get. As for Wen Qiong, you are also almost an adult, and your will will affect the judge's decision. ”
"I know, I also left some evidence." Wen Qiong flipped through the information and nodded.
"Pretty smart." Zhou Shenyan boasted.
Wen Qiong bent the corners of her mouth and didn't say anything more.
For the next hour, the four of them had a discussion. Wen Qiong is no problem, Teacher Wu can cooperate, but Shang Jing, she is full of uneasiness, Zhou Shenyan explained her words, she always has to remember it several times.
"Okay, I've got your situation as well." Zhou Shenyan looked at his watch and packed up the papers, "Since we have reached an agreement, then from today onwards, I will be your defense lawyer, please believe me, I will help you handle this matter properly." ”
Wen Qiong held the cup and glanced at Shang Jing, who was also a little hesitant. Wen Qiong said: "Lawyer Zhou. ”
"What's wrong?" Zhou Shenyan put down the briefcase he picked up again.
Wen Qiong lowered her head, took a deep breath, and then asked seriously: "Regarding the cost, how to calculate it?" ”
Zhou Shenyan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The cost, if you have difficulty making a one-time payment, you can pay it in installments, and as for the price, I am sandwiched in the documents I gave you." ”
Wen Qiong hurriedly flipped through the documents and found a price list. She didn't know much about the fees for the divorce case at this time, but she knew the situation ten years later, tens of thousands were definitely wanted, and thousands were a basic number. But the price given by Zhou Shenyan is only 2,000 yuan, which is too little according to the current price.
Shang Jing exclaimed, "It's so expensive!" ”
Wen Qiong, "......" too, their family is more than five hundred.
Zhou Shenyan put the documents together, "I can give me another discount, one thousand and five, you can give it to me slowly." ”
Shang Jing said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you, Lawyer Zhou." ”
She stood up and bowed, and Zhou Shenyan helped her weakly, "You're welcome, you're welcome." ”
Wen Qiong was speechless, can she still be five hundred cheaper, do charity? She looked at Teacher Wu, who smiled and said, "It's okay. ”
Teacher Wu said that it didn't matter, Wen Qiong could only accept it, after all, Lawyer Zhou was introduced by Teacher Wu, not to mention that she and Shang Jing really couldn't come up with any money. If you say 15,000, she will work in a stationery store for two or three months. Thinking of this, Wen Qiong felt that her heart came alive again.
The three of them sent Lawyer Zhou away, and Teacher Wu left when he wanted to go back to school.
Shang Jing held Wen Qiong's hand tightly, "Xiao Qiong, are we going to live a different life?" ”
Wen Qiong's eyes were full of smiles, "Yes, Mom." ”
"What does a different life look like?" Shang Jing was a little confused.
Wen Qiong kicked the stone at her feet and shook her head, "I don't know either." "She didn't have a chance in her previous life.
was originally going to go home, but Shang Jing wanted to walk around, Wen Qiong looked at the time, she had to work in the afternoon, so she accompanied Shang Jing to a nearby shopping mall.
There are a lot of people in the mall, there are elevators, there are food and drink, there are rich and poor, but they are all living their lives, they are not living in the darkness full of domestic violence. The clean glass of the fast food restaurant reveals the scene inside, and people eat happily.
Shang Jing's eyes were full of envy, and she turned her head to look at Wen Qiong, "Can we go in and eat?" ”
Wen Qiong touched her pocket, only the thirty yuan she earned yesterday.
Seeing Shang Jing's eyes looking at her without blinking, Wen Qiong gritted her teeth, "Let's go, let's eat." ”
Thirty dollars was enough to buy a burger and a fries, and they sat down facing each other by the window. Wen Qiong suddenly laughed, Shang Jing also laughed, and the mother and daughter looked at each other and laughed for a long time before eating.
Wen Qiong actually felt that she had eaten the taste of happiness, the taste of rebirth was too good, and the future was so long.
Outside the fast food restaurant, Meng Ling pulled Xiu Qingyan along, "Brother Yan, look, is that Wen Qiong?" ”
Xiu Qingyan looked back and squinted, "You can be happy like this by eating fries?" ”
"Wen Qiong's family conditions are not good, you don't know."
Xiu Qingyan sneered, but his eyes always fell on Wen Qiong's smiling face and refused to move away.
Meng Ling muttered, "I didn't expect her to look good when she smiled." ”
Xiu Qingyan glanced at him, and Meng Ling immediately shut up.
On weekends, Wen Qiong helped out at the stationery store.
Shang Jing listened to Lawyer Zhou's advice and also went out to look for a job. But for a person like her who has never worked, it is too difficult for her to find a job, she is timid, and she is also afraid of crowds, she is trembling when talking to people, she has tried clothing stores and the like, and she can't say anything if she can't say it. She was frustrated.
Wen Qiong saw it in her eyes and was also very anxious, for the sake of the future life of the two, Shang Jing had to work, and she didn't want Shang Jing to be attached to men all the time. She thought about it, discussed with the proprietress of the stationery store, and asked Shang Jing to come to work instead of her on Monday night.
The proprietress of the stationery store was very curious, "Your mother doesn't have a job?" ”
"No, she's just a housewife and she's been doing housework at home."
"That's a good life." The proprietress looked envious.
Wen Qiong smiled bitterly, "Can you let her help here, I'm here at night, I'll watch her." ”
"Okay." The proprietress hesitated before agreeing.
On Monday, Wen Qiong handed in her homework and lay on the table to recuperate. The homework was rushed out in the early morning, but fortunately Wen Ling was not at home, so she could stay up late with the lights in the living room unscrupulously.
Xiu Qingyan behind her took her homework book, frowned at the words on it, and raised her eyes to look at her in front of her, kicked her feet, Wen Qiong was awakened, she rubbed her forehead, her eyes were confused.
Xiu Qingyan threw the homework book on the table, "Classmate Wen, did you ask someone to write this homework for you?" ”
Wen Qiong leaned over, opened the homework book, and froze.
"Whose word is this? It's so beautifully written. Su Guoer leaned over and couldn't help but praise.
Wen Qiong was silent, and then silent......
Xiu Qingyan leaned over, approached Wen Qiong, and raised his eyebrows, "You wrote this word, right?" ”
"It's not." Wen Qiong retorted.
"Who's that?"
"My mom...... My mom wrote it for me. ”
Meng Ling laughed, "Isn't it? You even asked your mom to help you with your homework. ”
Wen Qiong glanced at him and calmed down, "Yes, I'm very busy these days and don't have time to write, so let my mother write it for me." ”
"Your mom graduated from elementary school?" Xiu Qingyan sneered.
Wen Qiong didn't say a word.
Xiu Qingyan pointed to the questions in the homework book, "None of them are right." ”
Su Guoer, "......"
"Really?" Meng Ling was surprised, and as he spoke, he took the homework book and opened it to read, "Wen Qiong, your mother is really talented." ”
Wen Qiong withdrew all her homework books, "I won't hand it in today!" ”
One of them was still in Xiu Qingyan's hand, and Wen Qiong was about to take it back, so he leaned back and raised the homework book high.
Wen Qiong frowned slightly, very speechless, "Give it to me!" She stretched out her hand.
Xiu Qingyan was still holding it maliciously. There was a table between the two, Wen Qiong could only hold the table and lean over to take it, his fingertips were about to touch the notebook, and he moved higher again, his expression was arrogant and fearless.
Seeing this, Wen Qiong realized that she shouldn't be led by his nose, so she braced her arms and planned to retreat, but who knew that he reached out and dragged her, and she pounced and hit his shoulder. Between his noses was the lemon scent of his neckline and the faint smell of tobacco. She heard her heart beating, but it didn't seem to be hers.
The surrounding classmates coaxed. Meng Ling whistled loudly.
Xiu Qingyan tilted her head, her thin lips brushing her earlobes gently, "Are you promising me personally?" ”
Wen Qiong's ears were slightly red, but he instantly came back to his senses, even if he had broad shoulders, he was only a seventeen-year-old boy. She was helpless, pushed him away, and said lightly: "You are too young to have the ability for me to make a promise." ”
Xiu Qingyan stared at her, his face slowly sinking. Her expression was like looking at a child, just like the previous times. He licked the tip of his teeth, threw the homework book in his hand into the trash, then kicked open the back door and walked out menacingly.
The class fell silent in an instant.
Meng Ling and Zeng Ming looked at each other and hurriedly ran out.
Wen Qiong looked at the door that had been kicked out of a crack, silent.
"Brother Yan!" Meng Ling and Zeng Ming finally caught up and followed behind him. Xiu Qingyan walked fast with long hands and feet, and when he reached the end of the corridor, the cigarette in his palm had been pinched in two. He kicked the wall and cursed.
Meng Ling stopped, and Zeng Ming was also at a loss.
After a while, Meng Ling stepped forward and patted Xiu Qingyan on the shoulder, "Don't tell me, you suddenly like her so much?" "I hated it to death before, and I like it to death again, so it's too fast, right? There's not even a buffer time.
Xiu Qingyan didn't say a word, and stretched out his hand, "Smoke." ”
Meng Ling immediately respectfully presented one, and lit it very doggedly before giving it to him.
Xiu Qingyan took it, took a puff, and waited for the smoke to clear before his mood calmed down a little. He hated Wen Qiong's indifferent eyes that regarded him as a child, but he liked the way she looked. He felt that he was really sick.
"Meng Ling."
"Huh?"
"You say, Wen Qiong, does she still like me?" Xiu Qingyan took another puff of cigarette and flicked off the soot, which drifted away with the wind.
"Huh?" Meng Ling and Zeng Ming glanced at each other, "This ...... We're not Ms. Wen either, so I don't know what she's thinking. ”
Zeng Ming slapped Meng Ling, "Brother Yan, actually, according to my observations in the past few days, classmate Wen may not like you anymore." ”
Xiu Qingyan turned his head to stare at him. Zeng Ming shook his body and smiled dryly.
"Huh." Xiu Qingyan took another hard puff of his cigarette.
Wen Qiong picked up the homework book, patted it, and stuffed it into her school bag.
Su Guo'er looked outside and said, "Xiu Qingyan has been so strange lately. ”
"Hmm." Wen Qiong nodded.
In his last life, Xiu Qingyan didn't talk about touching her, but he couldn't stand it when he saw her sitting in front of his seat, after the monthly exam, he asked the teacher to change his seat and stay away from her, she cried at the time, and was laughed at by the class flower after crying.
Wen Qiong opened the book, looked at the key exercises, and reviewed carefully.
Su Guoer was very worried, "I must have done well in the exam this time." ”
"Me too." Wen Qiong was in no mood to dwell on why Xiu Qingyan had become so strange anymore.
