Chapter 32: The Reason for Jumping off the Building

"You asked me today, why don't you apply for a grant, in fact, if I want to go to college, I can apply for a bursary, plus work-study, I can finish college, although it may be very hard. However, I am not afraid of hardship, I am afraid of no dignity! ”

Lin Yudong said this, and smiled bitterly, "I have been the kind of person with strong self-esteem since I was a child, and I want to die to save face and suffer crimes, probably talking about people like me, and then after my parents are gone, my self-esteem has become stronger than before." In the second semester of my third year of high school, the family's savings were almost spent, so I went to a relative's house to borrow money, although I borrowed the money, but what she said, I can't forget it in my life, she said, Yudong, your parents are gone, you have to find a way to make money by yourself, but you can't rely on relatives to support, we also have our own days to live. ”

She was right, but do you know how I felt? That was the first time I had grown up and faced the cold reality, and I said to myself that day, I would never want the pity and charity of others in the future, even if it was a bursary from the school, I would not want it, I would make my own money to support our brothers. ”

"I can learn the knowledge in the university by myself, and the atmosphere in the university, I can also often go to the school to visit and feel the feelings, in fact, I often sneak to the college of economics and trade, secretly sit in the classroom, fantasize that I am a college student, listening to the teacher's lectures, I even carry a pen and a notebook, pretending to take notes."

Lin Yudong smiled: "Don't think I'm pitiful, in fact, I especially enjoy that feeling, it's like an escape, forgetting all the troubles and pressures for a while." I don't go to college, the biggest problem is actually a diploma, but it doesn't matter, anyway, I don't plan to go to work anymore, I started by setting up a stall, learning to do business, and making the business bigger little by little, it doesn't matter if I have a diploma or not. ”

At this time, Lin Yudong's eyes flashed, and he was full of expectations for his future career.

Ding Yan was still immersed in Lin Yudong's life experience over the years, and it wasn't until Lin Yudong touched the cup with him that he came back to his senses, took a big sip of wine, and asked, "So, why did your parents jump off the building?" ”

Lin Yudong said: "I also heard about it from a kind aunt when I went to my parents' company to pack up my relics. At that time, it seemed to be their company dinner, and after it was over, they went to play in KTV together, their boss was called Hu Yingjie, I will never forget this name, Hu Yingjie drank too much, blocked my mother in the bathroom, wanted to insult her, and then was bumped into by my dad, my dad probably beat him, but he quit, and he had to let my dad kneel down to apologize to him. ”

"My dad was reluctant at first, but then Hu Yingjie used my parents' future to threaten him, saying that if he didn't kneel down and apologize, he wouldn't be in the construction circle in the future, Hu Yingjie does have this energy. My parents are both architectural designers, if they leave this circle, they will have to change careers, start from scratch, and their income will definitely drop a lot, and it will be very difficult to support our brothers, especially when we are going to college in two years, and we also need money, and the two of us have been doing their profession for more than ten years, so we are reluctant to throw it away. ”

"Anyway, out of various concerns, my dad finally compromised, and really knelt down to apologize to Hu Yingjie, my mother is also an honest person, she usually listens to my dad in everything, and I guess I didn't persuade him."
