The bus had stopped at this time, and I checked out a shared bicycle. It was a little after 12:15 when I got home.
The living room was in a mess, with wine bottles strewn about.
Clothes are scattered everywhere.
After putting down his schoolbag and throwing the dirty clothes into the washing machine, and then throwing the dirty clothes and school uniforms into the washing machine, Chen Mo had time to wash away the fatigue of the day.
Opening his schoolbag, Chen Mo was about to put the Oreos and milk that Bai Cha had given him into the drawer, when Chen Mo suddenly found that the originally locked drawer had been pried open.
Opening the drawer, the books inside clearly showed signs of being turned over.
He opened the fairy tale book at the bottom, and the money in it was indeed missing.
After throwing on some clothes, Chen Mo knocked on the door of the next bedroom with a cold face: "Jiang Lian, come out."
There was a rustling sound in the house, and it took a long time before the bedroom door opened.
The woman was wearing a coat loosely, her beautiful face looked sleepy, and her body smelled of tobacco and alcohol that could not be washed away.
She leaned against the door frame: "Why did you wake me up in the middle of the night?"
Chen Mo looked at the woman with cold eyes, and was about to ask about the money, but he inadvertently glanced at the biscuit bag opened by the woman's bedside!
That was given to him by Bai Cha.
Looking at Jiang Lian, Chen Mo took a deep breath.
Without saying anything, he walked directly into the bedroom and put away Jiang Lian's unfinished biscuits.
Jiang Lian couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Chen Mo's actions: "You woke me up just for making biscuits?
Are you sick?
But these biscuits taste really good. Where did you buy them? Buy me another pack after school tomorrow."
After saying that, she yawned and was about to go to bed.
But Chen Mo grabbed him and said, "Where's the money?"
Of course Jiang Lian knew what kind of money Chen Mo was talking about, but he habitually pretended to be stupid: "What kind of money."
She pretended to be stupid, and Chen Mo confronted her directly: "Where did the more than 5,000 yuan in my drawer go?"
Jiang Lian said without any guilt: "Flower."
Chen Mo looked at Jiang Lian without saying a word.
He knew that Jiang Lian could do such a thing, let alone more than five thousand.
Even if you give her tens of thousands of yuan, she can clean it in one day.
Being stared at by Chen Mo like this, Jiang Lian felt angry:
"Whatever you look at, flowers are flowers.
You have the nerve to raise such a small amount of money, it is not even enough to buy a bag.
By the way, when will your poverty allowance be distributed this semester?
School has started, it should be soon, right?"
Chen Mo held the hand hanging by his side tightly. If he hadn't considered that this woman was his biological mother, he would have really wanted to punch her down.
Taking a deep breath, he said one word at a time: "Jiang Lian, that is my future tuition for college!"
Jiang Lian heard that he was still fussing over his refusal to give money, and became angry and said:
"I said it was a flower, don't you understand?
You don't know what's going on in our family.
You shouldn't study.
If it weren't for that little scholarship and that little poverty subsidy, do you think I would be willing to ask you to go to school?
I'm not telling you, even if you finish high school, will you have the money to go to college?
In the future, you will still have to go out to work. Since you have to go out sooner or later, why not go out earlier and make more money!
My neighbor's brother Wang made more than 10,000 yuan last month by delivering food.
You are smarter and younger than him, so it shouldn’t be a problem to earn 20,000, right?”
Chen Mo had blue veins on his forehead: "Jiang Lian, don't go too far!"
"How did I go too far?
You are the one who goes too far!
No one is allowed to sleep in the middle of the night.
As expected of Chen Jingnian, you are both selfish and selfish. I should have strangled you to death when you were just born!"
Chen Mo suddenly raised his left hand. He looked at Jiang Lian with red eyes, but couldn't bring his hand down: "You don't deserve to mention him!"
Jiang Lian looked at Chen Mo and sneered:
"You still want to hit me?
Come on, fight here!
Do you dare?
If you don’t dare, you are a coward, the same coward as Chen Jingnian!”
"If it hadn't been for him, how could I have severed ties with my family?!
How could I have a home that I couldn't go back to, and yet I was deceived by a jerk like you?
If it weren't for him, my life could have been brilliant!
I would marry someone with a similar family power and become a noble wife. How could I live in a house like this that looks like a mouse hole to me?
Live like a pile of mud!
Do you think I want to be lied to?
Do you think I want to get sick?
Did I want to be like this?
Aren’t you all forcing me to do this?
Get out, get out of here!"
Chen Mo looked at the woman's hysterical appearance and lowered his raised hand.
This woman was hopeless and she was willing to fall. But his life had just begun, and he didn't want to ruin his life because of such a woman.
"Jiang Lian, he left the house to me, and my name is also written on the property certificate.
If I sell him, you won't get a penny."
Jiang Lian's eyes widened instantly. She looked at Chen Mo in disbelief, as if she didn't believe he could do such a crazy thing.
"You can't do this."
"Why can't I do this?
Since you dare to spend my tuition fees, then I also dare to sell the house and make you homeless.
Don't even think about going to my school to make trouble. I'll let you go and make trouble. You can make trouble no matter what you want.
Anyway, as long as I have money, I can go to school anywhere.
But what about you?
You have nothing.
So Jiang Lian, while I still have patience, return my tuition fees to me.
Otherwise, you can try to see if I can do it."
Jiang Lian's face instantly turned pale.
She looked at Chen Mo in panic: "But, I spent all that money..."
"That's your business."
After saying that, Chen Mo ignored Jiang Lian and closed the door. Chen Mo lay weakly on the bed.
Looking at the biscuits placed on the bedside, Chen Mo showed a sarcastic smile.
The princess should live a life with no worries about food and clothing in the castle, instead of being dragged into the endless abyss by him.
But he will also be unwilling...
…
next day
Chen Mo arrived at class early as usual.
Taking out his homework from his schoolbag and looking at the test paper lying in his schoolbag, Chen Mo finally did not put it into the hole in Bai Cha's desk, but stuffed it into his desk hole along with other books and started reading early.
Bai Cha pressed into the classroom again.
But yesterday she had a bun, and today she just had a high ponytail.
She pulled out the stool and before sitting down, she showed a sweet smile: "Good morning, tablemate."
Chen Mo responded indifferently and said nothing more.
Su Yao turns around: "It's getting late, my dear Cha Bao'er."
Bai Cha curled his lips: "I said it was early."
Su Yao was about to tell Bai Cha the news she saw while surfing the Internet last night. Before she could speak, she noticed the head teacher with her face pressed against the back door.
Suddenly, Su Yao couldn't care less about the gossip and hurriedly turned back to start her morning reading.
Bai Cha chuckled lightly and reached out to poke the boy: "My deskmate, you are so cold today~"
Chen Mo retracted his arm and continued reading without answering Bai Cha's question.
Bai Cha looked at the indifferent Chen Mo, silently sat up straight, opened the textbook and started reading early.
Judging from Chen Mo's attitude, he returned to the rhythm before liberation overnight.
