To make He Yu regret - Chapter 42
Even though Xu Meiyin got busy alone, she didn’t forget to coax her daughter, “Bear it for a while, I will cook something soon.”
When He Yu walked out of the store, he happened to hear that sentence.
On the way home. “The world is full of uncertainty. I really didn’t expect that people who used to be so rich are now down to this point.”
Fan Xiuhui sighed. “Back then, Mrs. Jiang’s fingers did not even touch any house work. I just saw her move the goods in that shop. She carried such a big and heavy bedside table. Did you see that room? They had no kitchen, cooking with just an induction cooker outside the room. Will Miss Jane get used to the things that are cooked like that? She used to be so picky when she was a child.”
He Yu was silent. Fan Xiuhui felt very emotional after knowing the situation of the Jiang family. He remained silent. She wanted to talk to him about the little miss. “You should take care of Ms. Jane at school in the future. It is not easy for her, she lives in such a bad place, and she must have suffered a lot with what happened at home. Did you say you met her at school? If she has any difficulties in her studies and life, you should help her.”
He Yu thought of the two encounters with Jiang Mingzhen on campus. The first time, he heard her brag to others about how she lives in a villa and was tired of watching stars from the rooftop, and tired of eating expensive chocolates. The second time, he saw her and her friends come out of the store, holding colourful books and star posters.
He said to his mother, “She doesn’t look like she has suffered.”
Fan Xiuhui asked, “What is it like to suffer then?”
He gave a stern look and said, “At least, she will know that it is not easy to make money, be considerate of her mother, and help her family as best as she can.”
Fan Xiuhui laughed loudly. No wonder He Yu said that because that’s what he did. He had followed Fan Xiuhui since he was a child. Compared to children in ordinary families, his life had been too difficult but he was sensible, and caring, and took the initiative to shoulder the burden of the family.
“People are different, and suffering can transform people in thousands of ways. How can you judge such a thing based on just one encounter?”
She hadn’t read many books, but what Fan Xiuhui said was very wise. She had a wealth of life experience and had dealt with all kinds of people in society. She laughed, but felt sad. He Yu was a good boy, and the suffering they experienced along the way didn’t destroy him, but made him better. However, from the perspective of being a parent, Fan Xiuhui still selfishly hoped that he would have suffered less in his life and not be so sensible.
“Okay, I get it.” After a short pause, He Yu promised his mother, “I will take care of her more in school.”
The next day. After school, in the fourth class of high school, Jiang Xiaozhen, the health committee member, had to supervise the hygiene of the students.
“Are you going to the ‘Girls Space’ today? I’ll look for you later.” Girls Space was the gathering base for those girls after school. That shop sold all kinds of girl comics, romance novels, and celebrity merchandise. It was there that everyone had established a deep sisterhood.
“Yes.” Jiang Xiaozhen’s desk mate Sun Qin responded to her.
“Hey, Sun Qin, why are you telling her?” One of the girls in the group poked her with the elbow. Jiang Xiaozhen confronted them when she heard their whispers.
“Why shouldn’t she tell me?”
“…” The girls looked at each other and planned to escape from there. Jiang Xiaozhen blocked the road, and they couldn’t escape even if they wanted to.
After holding back for a while, someone stood up to speak.Â
“Why do you want to go to ‘Girls Space’, you don’t buy anything?” The person next to her helped her voice it more.Â
“The last time you went there to buy something, you returned it after buying it.”
“Yes,” Jiang Xiaozhen nodded at them, and said, “I first read the book Xiao Lin told me about. The novel in which the male lead had a bad personality and the second lead was gentle. I couldn’t read that novel anymore just after reading a few pages. The writing was so bad that it was not worth reading so I returned the book I bought.”
The recommended romance novel was said to be bad, which made Xiao Lin upset. Â
“You even returned the celebrity posters you bought!”
“Oh, that male celebrity, I bought it and watched it all night, but I felt nothing attractive about him. I couldn’t get what you liked about him.’
Jiang Xiaozhen spread her hands, “The poster was still sealed. I haven’t removed anything and the store was willing to take it back.”
Her appearance was too arrogant, and they were speechless for a while. Jiang Xiaozhen looked at them with strange eyes.
“I returned my things and the owner agreed. The boss is not dissatisfied with me, what are you dissatisfied with me for?”
They were ashamed to play with her as she returned things after she bought them. They didn’t want to argue with her. They didn’t make their thoughts very clear and just said, “Since you are not interested, don’t come with us.”
Jiang Xiaozhen shook her head, “I’m not interested, but you are my friends. I can go there with you even if I don’t shop anything.”
The girls were speechless.
