Chapter 2160: Friends (2)

Regarding Jin Qing's random thoughts, 707 felt that he was unable to complain, "Host, do you want to accept the plot?"

Jin Qing nodded to 707, "Accept it." She wanted to hear what weird people she would meet this time.

The background of the plot this time is the Republic of China, which is similar to a parallel world.

The client’s name is Xu Yueru.

Xu Yueru was born in a literati family. Her father had studied abroad and received higher education.

And her mother is a typical old-style woman.

My father naturally dislikes such an uneducated and uneducated mother.

Therefore, when my father, who had received a "higher" Western cultural education, returned to China, the first thing he did was to file for divorce from his mother, who firmly believed that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue."

Then he happily married a female classmate who had the same goals and shared a common language with him.

My mother was a lady of the family. Even though her father reported her divorce, she always regarded herself as the first wife and stayed in her husband's house as her "husband" to serve her parents-in-law until the end of her life.

During this period, my father never returned to his hometown once.

It's as if his parents are not his, and the family property is not his.

At that time, my mother often held Xu Yueru in her arms to comfort her father that although she was divorcing her, she was always making fun of other women, otherwise she would not have left such a huge family property to her mother and her.

Xu Yueru felt strange at that time. Her grandmother once said that the Xu family was in ruins.

If my grandfather had not insisted on breaking off the engagement to avoid losing face, my mother would not have married my father.

The current property of the Xu family is the dowry brought by the mother, and even the money that the father left abroad came from the mother.

It's normal if the father doesn't want it, isn't it?

But whenever she heard Xu Yueru raise such a question, her mother would whip her severely with a cane.

My mother always said that when a woman gets married, not to mention the dowry, even she belongs to her husband’s family. Xu Yueru

This kind of thinking is unruly.

But even though her mother was beaten, her love for her did not diminish at all.

In order to prevent her from making the same mistakes as her mother, her mother sent her to a school in the provincial capital.

I just want her to learn more about culture so that she can marry into a good family in the future.

In this way, she lived smoothly until the age of sixteen under the protection of her mother.

This year, my grandfather and parents passed away one after another. When the two elders fell ill, my mother wrote to my father, asking him to come back and visit.

But it was not until after the two elders were laid to rest that the father rushed back from Huangpu with his wife and a pair of children.

My mother, who had not seen her father for many years, was so excited that she almost fainted, but what really made her want to die was yet to come.

My father came here to take back the ancestral property because he wanted to buy a house in Huangpu, but he didn't want money.

The mother's expression was very confused, but she still helped her father sell the "ancestral property" and exchange it for money to take away.

Yueru was reasonable to her angry father. She yelled loudly that her mother had sold her dowry to buy the so-called ancestral home.

The money their father took away was from their mother's dowry. His father took away all their money and sold the shop under their mother's name. This would make them unable to live in the future.

But in the end, what she got was not her father's guilt and her mother's awakening.

It was the father's angry rebuke to the mother. The father said that he had been taught so badly by his mother that he didn't even understand a bit of female virtue.

She felt ridiculous because her father, who had always admired Western culture, kept yelling at her about women's virtues.

She thought it was ridiculous, but her mother was struck like a thunderbolt.

That day, her mother waved the cane at her for the first time.

He whipped her hard in front of her father.

Seeing her being beaten and screaming repeatedly, her father was very satisfied and left with his wife and children that afternoon.

But he didn't ask at all where she and her mother would live in the future.

It was obvious that they were completely abandoned.

Xu Yueru remembered that her mother's expression was very calm that day, so calm that it made her a little scared.

Xu Yueru could only hold her mother's hand tightly, fearing that if she wasn't careful, her mother would disappear.

Everyone in the town knew what happened to her and her mother, and looked at them with pity and contempt.

The world is always too harsh on women. When a woman is abandoned by a man, everyone will subconsciously think that the woman is at fault.

Just like now, occasionally someone will speak out to comfort them, but the words they say bring out a strong sense of superiority.

Her mother took her to a shop, pushed the door open, walked in, took out a small wooden box from under a tree and handed it to her.

He told her that it contained the dowry her mother had prepared for her, and then sent her to rest.

Only then did Xu Yueru understand that it was not that her mother didn't love her, and that her mother had even arranged a way out for her a long time ago.

Unfortunately, this touching feeling did not last long, because one night later, my mother hanged herself.

Without the family property, mother cannot even deceive herself and others.

The shock of being abandoned by her father made my mother, an old-fashioned woman, lose the face to live any longer.

So, she left her young daughter behind and freed herself.

For such a mother, Xu Yueru didn't know whether she was more sad or angry.

She only knew that she was a helpless orphan now.

Well, I should say he is helpless

An orphan who is helpless but has a shop and a little money.

Such a little girl, in the eyes of outsiders, is like a fragrant piece of pork belly, and everyone wants to pounce on her and take a bite.

Seeing the increasingly malicious looks from the people around her, Xu Yue decided to run. She had to run.

In this way, Xu Yueru contacted her senior in the provincial capital, and with the help of the other party, she successfully ran to Huangpu.

She wanted to see what kind of place could raise a scum like her father.

The senior's name was Zhao Qixuan. He was a very talented student and also wrote good articles.

He was two years older than Xu Yueru, but due to financial problems he did not continue his studies at university and instead found a job in a newspaper.

Because he was worried about Xu Yueru going to Huangpu alone, Zhao Qixuan took a leave of absence from the newspaper where he worked and escorted Xu Yueru all the way to Huangpu.

The two people experienced many twists and turns along the way, and the two hearts grew closer and closer, and finally they established a white-headed alliance.

After arriving in Huangpu, Xu Yueru knew what real prosperity was.

All the things she thought of and could not imagine were found here.

Correspondingly, the consumption level here is also surprisingly high.

Xu Yueru's money was only enough to buy a very cramped small house here.

It's still a tube building, the kind without a courtyard.

After careful calculation, Xu Yueru decided to buy a house first because they needed a place to stay.

If you don't buy it now, the money you spent on it will be gone.

After that, Xu Yueru did not go back to school, but followed the example of other high school students and found a clerk's job in a factory.

She didn't have much future during her studies, so it would be better to save money and let the talented Zhao Qixuan go to university, and maybe he could become a great writer in the future.
