Bai Mei stood outside the door waiting for a long time, feeling tired and hungry.
Her two older sisters went to expensive closed schools, and she was the only one who went to the nearby No. 2 Middle School. Her mother said that because of her poor academic performance, she would definitely not be able to learn foreign languages. It would be a waste of money to go to a school as expensive as her sister's.
The students of No. 2 Middle School all eat in the school cafeteria at noon.
The food in the school cafeteria is very unpalatable. Sometimes I eat thin bean porridge with limp steamed cakes. Sometimes I eat noodles that I can’t name. They say they are noodles, but they are actually just a ball of mush. They look like noodles but cannot be held together.
Clamp and it will break.
Baimei couldn't get used to the school meals, so she asked her maid to make lunch for her early every morning and put it in her lunch box. For this reason, her classmates laughed at her, saying that she was indeed a child of a capitalist and could not bear any hardship.
Today, the maid didn't make lunch for her, saying that her mother didn't pay her wages and she was going on strike.
Lunch in the cafeteria costs five cents. Bai Mei didn't have any money, so she thought about eating it when she went home in the evening. She was hungry after a long day.
It was completely dark today, and her mother never opened the door for her. She was so hungry that her stomach growled.
A child who has never been hungry feels uncomfortable even if she is hungry for one meal. What's more, she has already been hungry for two meals today. Now she doesn't even have the energy to cry. She can only keep begging, "Mom, open the door, I'm so hungry..."
I'm going to starve to death, mom..."
In the house, Xu Fengjiao felt that this third daughter was really annoying. Now she only had one hundred yuan left in her body. Most of the valuable things in the house had been moved away. How could she still have money to support this loser?
The eldest daughter Bai Ying is beautiful. She is currently in her third year of high school and will be able to work and earn money after graduation next year. With her appearance, she will definitely be able to marry a rich man in the future.
Although the second daughter Bai Xing is fat, she has good academic performance.
Not only can she speak fluent English, she can also speak Japanese, and she may be able to go abroad in the future.
Xu Fengjiao felt that these two daughters were more trustworthy, but the third daughter, Bai Mei, was average-looking and stupid. She had been given a tutor in the past, but she couldn't study well and almost didn't even pass the junior high school entrance examination...
This guy is here to collect debt from himself!
If all the things in the house are pawned and sold, Xu Fengjiao feels that she can still support her eldest daughter and second daughter to finish their studies. If they become successful, they will definitely not forget their biological mother who raised them.
As for Bai Mei, her third daughter, she didn't plan to waste any money on her.
For a long time, Bai Mei squatted on the ground, making sure that her mother could not open the door. She got up and walked to the avenue, wandering aimlessly alone.
"Gululu..." Her stomach would make a noise from time to time. She was too hungry.
When she saw the restaurant, she kept swallowing her saliva.
Unknowingly, Bai Mei walked outside the dormitory of the machinery factory and looked up at the five-story building.
She remembered that brother Wennian seemed to live here. A few years ago, brother Wennian lived at her house, and she secretly followed him here once.
"Hello, may I ask... do you know Su Wennian?" Bai Mei asked a woman washing dishes by the sink on the first floor.
While washing the dishes, the woman turned to look at her and frowned: "Su Wennian? Who is that?"
An auntie who was also washing dishes next to her said, "That name sounds familiar!"
Bai Mei hurriedly said: "He is my cousin..."
"cousin?"
"His father works here, that is my...uncle, yes, my uncle works here, my aunt's name is Bai Lu, I am their niece, and I want to find them."
When they heard Bai Lu's name, they reacted immediately.
"Oh, it's Master Su's family. You suddenly mentioned their son's name, and I didn't even remember it."
"Let me tell you, the name Su Wennian sounds familiar to me. He is Master Su's third son!"
"Yes, yes..." Others laughed, "That's the name!"
After they finished speaking with a smile, they said to Bai Mei: "Master Su and his family have moved to the new building at the back. They are no longer in our old building. If you want to find them, you have to go to the new building to find them."
Bai Mei pursed her lips, "Can you take me there?"
Aunt Chen, who had finished washing the dishes, looked at her carefully for a while. Seeing that she was dressed like a student, she nodded, "Okay, I'll take the dishes home. Just wait for me."
"Okay, thank you, auntie, thank you." Bai Mei hurriedly thanked her.
"Why are you thanking me? It's a small thing, so you're welcome."
On the way, the two of them chatted some more. Aunt Chen kept praising Master Su for his greatness and said that he would probably be promoted again this year.
Speaking of this, she said mysteriously: "I heard that when the deputy director of our factory is transferred, your uncle is likely to take over the deputy director's position. Did you come to your uncle to help you find one?"
Are you working?"
Bai Mei was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
Waving her hand, she shook her head, "No, I'm still in school."
I really didn’t expect that Brother Wennian’s father was so powerful that he was about to be promoted to deputy factory director.
The deputy director must be very rich, right? Maybe they are willing to take him in...
They were led to the door of Master Su's house, and Aunt Chen left first.
Bai Mei took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
In the Su family, Bai Lu finally tidied up the messy living room.
Her sons are cleaning up their rooms.
Su Nanbing scolded while sorting out: "Are they crazy? I think they should be arrested by the police and charged with trespassing... It's so abominable!"
His third brother said: "It is a crime to break into a private house."
"That's right, the crime of breaking into a private house is punishable by ten years in prison!"
While Su Nanbing was furious, Su Xiaosi's stomach growled several times.
He walked to the kitchen and said, "Dad, I'm so hungry. Have you finished cooking the noodles?"
"It's coming, it's ready. You can eat it soon. You went home to clean up the house after school today. You worked hard, so dad, I put scrambled eggs in the noodles. You can eat more."
"Wow, that's great, scrambled eggs! It smells so good!"
Smelling the aroma of eggs wafting from the pot, Su Xiaosi couldn't help but take two deep breaths.
The door was knocked at this time, "Dong dong dong dong..."
Everyone stopped what they were doing.
"Who?"
Bai Lu looked in the direction of the door.
Xiao Jinbao, who was closest to the door, raised his little hand and opened the door.
There was a girl standing outside the door, wearing a white shirt and a blue suspender skirt.
She looks to be about thirteen years old, about the same age as her third brother, with an average appearance and no distinctive features.
"Sister, who are you looking for?" Jinbao asked the girl in front of him doubtfully.
As soon as the door opened, Baimei smelled the aroma of noodles.
She covered her hungry belly and said, "I'm Bai Mei. I'm here to see my aunt Bai Lu. My mother doesn't want me anymore. I'm so hungry. Can you give me a bite to eat?"
Su Nanbing was already angry, but now he was even more angry. He rushed to the door, protecting Jinbao behind him, staring at Baimei warily and angrily, and asked: "Are you Xu Fengjiao's daughter?"
