"I am now working as a manager in a company in the south. If Niuniu follows me, she will receive a better education and lead a completely different life."
Tong Guoping: "Like you?"
Yang Lili nodded: "When people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. If you stay in a place like this, you will never get ahead in your life."
Tong Guoping: "I didn't expect you to be the same as before."
Girl: "I won't go with you. Besides, I stopped going to school a long time ago."
It is not easy to finish primary school in rural areas, and she also attended middle school for one year.
"You don't go to school anymore? How come you don't go to school anymore at how old you are? What will you do if you don't go to school?" Yang Lili was stunned for a while. After asking her daughter, she pointed the finger at her ex-husband Tong Guoping.
"How did you agree to me when I gave Niuniu to you? Tong Guoping, you are incompetent yourself, do you want your child to be as worthless as you? She is only fourteen years old, do you want to ruin her for the rest of her life?
?”
Thinking that her ex-husband had been a loser all his life, and that no matter how poor his family was, he would only guard a few acres of land and not even dare to go out to work in the city. Now that his daughter's studies had been delayed, Yang Lili suddenly became angry.
light.
"It seems that I came to the right place this time. Since you are unable to support the child, I will take the child away now and he will never come back again. With a father like you, I feel sad for my daughter!"
Tong Guoping was so scolded by her that he lowered his head and was unable to argue.
Niu Niu couldn't stand it anymore and said loudly: "What do you know? You blame dad indiscriminately. After you left, dad was sad for a long time. In order to support me in school, he went to the brick factory to carry bricks, one day at a time.
I had to carry more than a thousand bricks, but because I worked so hard, my body couldn't bear it and fell ill. From then on, I couldn't do any strenuous work anymore, and my grandma became paralyzed again."
"I don't want to go to school myself. I want to use my own ability to help reduce the burden on my family. If you dislike the poor and love the rich, I don't care if you leave this family, and I can't control it. But you are not qualified to talk about my father." Niu Niu said and kept accumulating
The tears in his eyes finally couldn't help but fall, but he stubbornly touched them casually. He didn't want to show his cowardice in front of this woman.
Tong Guoping felt uncomfortable, but he still lectured: "Niuniu, why are you talking to your mother? No matter what, he will give birth to you and support you."
Yang Lili looked at her hedgehog-like daughter and said unceremoniously: "You want to use your own ability to help reduce the burden on the family. It is simply childish and ridiculous. How old are you? What can you do to help the family?"
Niu Niu frowned: "I can't do anything, but I'm better than you. I didn't abandon my husband and daughter when my family was in the most difficult time."
Yang Lili raised her hand angrily, but after all, it was her biological daughter, and she had not seen her for two years, so she finally put her hand down.
Tong Guoping: "Niuniu, your mother is right, you will only live a hard life if you follow me. Now that her conditions are better, you also have the opportunity to study in a big city."
"Dad, don't you even want me?"
Looking at his daughter's face full of tears, Tong Guoping felt his heart tightening.
"Lili, she won't be able to accept your sudden announcement that you want to pick up the child. It's too early now. Why don't you stay one night and talk to the child slowly?" Tong Guoping discussed.
Yang Lili shook her head: "There is only such a big place at home. I have opened a room in the guest house in the county town. I will come over again tomorrow. Please help me persuade her. Niuniu is not young anymore. What kind of career will she have in the future?
She should know which way is best for her."
After Yang Lili finished speaking, she picked up the leather bag lying beside her and turned to leave.
Tong Guoping chased him out: "It's getting dark. It's not safe to walk at night. Just wait while I go to the village to borrow food and a bicycle to take you off."
Yang Lili stayed at a guest house in the town and went to Tongjia Village again the next day.
However, she was very disappointed. Her daughter still had the same attitude as yesterday. She would rather follow the useless Tong Guoping than leave with her.
"I still have things to do and can't stay any longer. Here are two hundred yuan and my phone number. If Niuniu changes her mind, you can contact me at any time."
In the end, Yang Lili left the money and phone number and left.
After a tiring journey all the way to the provincial capital, she planned to rest for two days and meet acquaintances before heading to Kyoto.
When Jiang Yuwei heard from her colleagues that someone was looking for her, she thought it was another suitor who was overestimating his abilities. When he was about to say goodbye, he looked up and saw Yang Lili standing not far away, and even smiled and waved to her, and then reacted.
Come out of the counter.
"I didn't expect that I would come over to see you, old classmate."
Jiang Yuwei stared at Yang Lili, who was almost unrecognizable, and nodded honestly: "You have changed a lot."
The person in front of me was wearing a cashmere coat that looked very high-end and a pair of high-heeled leather shoes. His temperament was completely different from when he was in college.
"I finally came back from Pengcheng, and I just wanted to meet you classmates who have helped me before. What do you think? Do you have time to show your respect and let me treat you to a casual meal?"
Facing Yang Lili's invitation, Jiang Yuwei nodded: "Wait a moment, I'll go ask for leave from the leader."
After saying that, he went back behind the counter and quickly put on his coat again and came out with his bag on his shoulder.
Jiang Yuwei thought that the casual meal she was talking about was really just finding a restaurant at random, but she didn't expect that Yang Lili directly chose a high-end restaurant.
"It's quiet here, so we can catch up on old times."
Jiang Yuwei's family background has seen big scenes since she was a child, so she has a relatively calm demeanor.
It’s just that my eyes have been falling on Yang Lili intentionally or unintentionally. I can’t help it, she has indeed changed too much.
If that accident hadn't happened, the place to go abroad would have been hers, and maybe she would be like Yang Lili now.
No, she can definitely get better.
"When did you return to China? Were you assigned a job?"
Yang Lili couldn't help laughing when she heard her question: "There is no such thing as assignment abroad, unlike at home. After graduation, I applied to work in a foreign-funded enterprise, and now I am a marketing manager."
If Jiang Yuwei was a little envious at first, when she heard that she was not working within the establishment, that envy suddenly faded a bit.
He asked casually: "Manager? The salary should be quite high, right?"
Yang Lili said calmly: "A few hundred yuan a month."
A few hundred dollars?
Jiang Yuwei's hand holding the cup trembled, and she was completely uneasy.
Although she is now a small leader of the bank, she only earns less than 100 yuan a month.
The difference is more than ten times!
Yang Lili looked at her expression and said with a smile: "When I was in school, you and Chen Lishu had the best academic performance in the class, but you two were so beautiful that we were all envious behind our backs."
