Ruyi was restless along the way. She didn't know how her mother was doing now, whether she was living well or not. Will Liang Dahai still torture her from time to time? She also didn't know how she would feel when she knew she was pregnant.
Tangled all the way, Ruyi didn't want to face her mother, let alone Liang Dahai. She even wanted to turn around, but she still held back.
With no way to go back to school and no money, Ruyi had no other way out except going home.
Standing downstairs, Ruyi suddenly felt sour and uncomfortable in her heart. She hadn't been back for a long time, and everything here felt a little strange.
"Dong dong, dong dong..." Ruyi knocked on the door, but no one responded.
Has mom gone out?
Ruyi followed up and listened to the movement inside the door. It was quiet, as if there was really no one there.
Ruyi was disappointed and just wanted to go downstairs when she ran into her neighbor Grandma Li.
"Ruyi, are you Ruyi?"
Grandma Li was a little surprised when she saw Ruyi.
"Yes, this is Ruyi, grandma, is my mother out?"
"Your mother? You don't know! Your mother moved away a long time ago!"
Grandma Li was even more surprised when she heard Ruyi's words. She didn't even know where her mother lived now.
"Moved? What happened? How did you move away properly?"
Ruyi was shocked, why did her mother move away suddenly? She didn't even say hello to herself.
"Hey, it's true, don't you know? That stepfather of yours is a nuisance. He incurred a lot of debt while gambling outside. The debt collectors came to the house, and your mother took the child with her.
He ran away, otherwise, look at how miserable Liang Dahai is now, his body is disabled and he is no longer human. If you want to tell me, this is retribution."
Grandma Li sighed as she spoke.
Ruyi's mind buzzed and became confused.
It turns out that so many things happened at home, and I didn't even know about it.
Ruyi's mood suddenly hit rock bottom, and heart-wrenching pain surged up.
"Then do you know where my mother is now?"
Ruyi endured her excitement and looked at Grandma Li with pleading eyes.
"I don't know, where else can your mother go? All the money was used by the people in the casino to pay off debts. Hey, life is really hard, and she has a child..."
Grandma Li said that she wiped away her tears and went downstairs by herself.
Ruyi was stunned there, her legs seemed to be out of control and she couldn't move.
…
Ruyi had been walking aimlessly on the road for two hours. Ruyi felt very tired, but she didn't even have a place to stop and rest.
After my mother moved away, I lost even my last hope. Now I am really desperate.
Ruyi was really tired, so she stopped on the side of the road and squatted down to rest.
He looked up and saw an advertisement for a house for rent on the wall. Ruyi's eyes lit up and he felt hopeful again, so he followed the address above and looked for it.
"anyone there?"
Ruyi came to a simple bungalow, and according to the address, it was right here.
A middle-aged man came out of the house and took a look at Ruyi.
"Who are you looking for?"
The middle-aged man asked Ruyi.
"I, I saw this ad and I want to rent a house."
Ruyi said timidly, looking at the house in front of her, feeling a little scared in her heart.
"Well, that's it. I'm the landlord. If you want to rent, just come in and take a look."
Ruyi took a look at the house and saw that it was very simple and shabby, so she felt discouraged.
"How much is the rent here?"
The man looked at Ruyi and held out five fingers.
"five hundred."
Ruyi looked at the landlord in surprise and touched his pocket.
Now Ruyi only has 600 yuan left in his pocket, which he earned from working part-time.
"It's too expensive. I'm afraid I don't have that much money."
Ruyi blushed with embarrassment.
"You think this is expensive, so I advise you not to rent a house. This house is already the cheapest here. If you don't believe me, ask elsewhere. I guarantee you won't look down upon it."
"etc……"
The man turned around and wanted to enter the house, but was stopped by Ruyi.
Ruyi thought to herself, if it was really like what he said, wouldn't it mean that she would really be homeless?
What's the point of suffering a little injustice for the sake of this child in my belly?
Ruyi followed the landlord into the door. The room was small and could only accommodate a small bed. The windows were somewhat broken and there was only one small light bulb in the whole room. It was dark and depressing.
Ruyi asked, smelling dampness from the concrete floor, feeling a little sick in her heart.
"How about it, do you want to rent it or not? If not, I will rent it to someone else!"
The landlord looked at Ruyi and asked anxiously.
"I, I rent."
Ruyi feels a little aggrieved. How can people live in such a house?
She had no choice but to make do now. She didn't have much money and had nowhere to go. It was better than sleeping on the street. After all, she still had a place to live.
Ruyi paid the rent and lived in this small bungalow.
Next, there is the problem of life. Almost all the money I have is used to pay rent, and the next life becomes a big problem.
Ruyi touched her belly, imagining the happy scene of her child living with her after birth, and smiled happily.
No matter how tired she is, she admits that she is willing to fight for this little life.
Ruyi went to kindergarten the next morning.
Ruyi thought that her body no longer allowed her to do overly tiring work or drink alcohol, which would be bad for her child's development. Kindergarten would be better, as it would not consume physical energy and could cultivate the habit of living with her children.
But her thoughts were too naive. Kindergarten teachers need a diploma. She was expelled from the school and had a bad record. She was exempted from the job without even passing the preliminary examination.
Ruyi is disheartened. What else can she do in her current situation?
Just when Ruyi came out of the kindergarten, she saw a bunch of people gathered around as if looking at something.
Ruyi walked over and saw an advertisement posted on the door of the kindergarten.
There is a dance competition going on in the city, and the first place will get a bonus of 10,000 yuan.
With 10,000 yuan, I can rent a better house, don't have to live so hard, and can survive the next period of my life.
Ruyi is tempted. I still had some dance basics when I was a child. As long as I practice hard, I should still have a chance.
When Ruyi thought of this, she couldn't help but feel happy, as if she had now lived in a warm house, lived a happy life with her lovely children.
"As one wishes!"
Ruyi was still dreaming when a tall figure rushed into her eyes.
"Ruyi, I finally found you. Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time!"
Jiang Yuanxiu looked at Ruyi anxiously, and finally felt a little more relaxed when he saw that there was nothing wrong with her.
"Brother Jiang, I'm fine, but I moved out of school and rented a house by myself."
Ruyi was a little surprised when she saw Jiang Yuanxiu, but it was fleeting.
She is just a pregnant woman now. Doesn't Jiang Yuanxiu dislike her?
"Ruyi, I heard about your incident. It's all my fault. I can't help you with this matter. But Ruyi, I have already contacted the school. You can go at any time and finish your studies."
Jiang Yuanxiu's words warmed Ruyi's heart, like a heater on a snowy day, which made Ruyi very happy.
But Ruyi understood that she could not accept such charity, and she did not want to owe Jiang Yuanxiu too much.
"No, Brother Jiang, I'm fine now. I don't want to go back to school anymore. I think I can support myself."
Ruyi seemed to be comforting himself, which made Jiang Yuanxiu feel a little distressed.
"Ruyi, please don't force yourself, okay? This will make me feel bad. No matter what, I hope you can have a good life."
Jiang Yuanxiu looked at Ruyi seriously, his eyes full of tenderness.
This woman really has an irresistible charm.
"Brother Jiang, thank you. I will definitely remember your kindness to me."
Ruyi felt warm in her heart, Jiang Yuanxiu and Lu Sen were completely different men.
Jiang Yuanxiu always feels like sunshine to others. Even when he is most disappointed, his smile can make him feel that there is still hope.
And Lucen...
This man whom I least want to mention, a man as ice-like, can always destroy his happiness with his own hands.
Just like now.
Ruyi came back to her senses, suppressed her longing for Lu Sen, pointed to the advertisement on the wall and said to Jiang Yuanxiu, "Look, Brother Jiang, there is a dance competition going on, with a prize of 10,000 yuan! Tell me, can I do it?"
?”
Ruyi said and turned around, making Jiang Yuanxiu feel like a beautiful butterfly.
"You can definitely do it, Ruyi, but will your body be too tired from this?"
Ruyi knew that Jiang Yuanxiu was worried about the child in her belly.
Ruyi subconsciously touched her lower abdomen. It's only been a month and she still doesn't feel anything.
"It's okay, Brother Jiang, I will take care of myself. I also want the child to live a better life after he is born."
Seeing Ruyi's face look a little sad, Jiang Yuanxiu couldn't bear to ask any more questions.
"Ruyi, take me to where you live. I know the place and I can visit you later."
Ruyi really made Jiang Yuanxiu feel pain in his heart.
Ruyi got into Jiang Yuanxiu's car and went to their new home together.
