Liu Tinglan seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned around and said to Wu Ziyi: "You haven't seen your mother for a long time, right? It is said that the grace of raising a child is as great as a mountain, and no matter how beautiful the beauty outside is, it is not as good as the poor warmth at home. When will it happen?
Go back and see your mother. If something like this happens at home, she is the one who needs comfort the most."
Jin Yu now knew that Liu Tinglan had investigated her before dealing with Wu Ziyi. She was a shrewd girl.
Opening the door near the door, there was a woman with a good figure sitting inside.
"Ting Lan, you are here. Is Miss Wu Ziyi next to you? I am the teacher in charge of this training. You can call me LISA. We can be very good friends in private, but in class I am very strict!
You two little guys, don’t be lazy behind my back! Okay, let’s change into suitable clothes and start!”
When I say strict, I mean it’s really strict! This LISA teacher really didn’t use any water as he said at the beginning. The pointer was blowing on his body, but it was really painful. Both of them had red welts on their bodies after training all afternoon.
.
At the end of the training, Liu Tinglan sent the teacher away, and then left Wu Ziyi for dinner.
The cook came over to cook at meal time, so the two of them didn't need to cook at all.
Wandering around this relatively empty house, Jin Yu suddenly felt as if he had discovered a new world: Ziyi, look, look! What is on that bookshelf?
Wu Ziyi looked in the direction Jin Yu said. It was a book. It seemed to be about history?
"Do you also like reading this book?" Liu Tinglan was sitting on the sofa and asked curiously when she saw Wu Ziyi walking toward the bookshelf. There was only one book on the bookshelf in the hall, and it was difficult to remember it.
Wu Ziyi reached out and took it out. It was a copy of "Genghis Khan: Cohesion is More Powerful than Force."
Just hearing the name makes me feel uncomfortable.
"Just curious. Because there is only one book here."
"I want to hear Jin Yu's opinion. According to your temperament, you won't take the initiative to flip through books, and naturally you won't notice what is on my bookshelf. I want to hear her thoughts on this book, okay?
"
How annoying! Why can she always see through her own thoughts? Is it so easy to guess her own thoughts?
Jinyu didn't care about Wu Ziyi's inner complaints. She spoke out her inner thoughts in a bald voice: "This is a relatively objective book. The content is impartial. It tells the life of Genghis Khan from a unique perspective. Read
I still have a lot of thoughts when I wake up, it is truly a masterpiece.”
Although reluctant, Wu Ziyi repeated the words exactly to Liu Tinglan.
Liu Tinglan seemed to have found a close friend, and the chatterbox opened like a flood: "I have read the version here, and also read the Taiwan version, and found that the translation of the Taiwan version is better."
"You can read the English version, which is more authentic. Some words have been deleted for some reasons, so it doesn't read as well as the original version. At the same time, you can also read another book written by the same author, "Genghis Khan and the World Pattern"
"Formation", this is also a masterpiece."
"Read the original book? But I don't know much about the historical vocabulary. Will my own translation cause any misunderstandings in the meaning of the words?" Liu Tinglan was worried that if she read the original book directly, she would misinterpret the author's meaning without knowing it.
"You have made great progress, and reading it directly will not affect you. Because you have read the translation once, right? Reading it again will not have any bad effects. Reading history can be wise, and you can actively find some classics to read to improve your judgment ability.
, you will not believe what everyone says. You must know that the person who has made the greatest progress is not the one who memorizes the most books, but the one who can make his own judgment between the lines and refine the knowledge and principles he needs most for his own use."
Wu Ziyi felt that Jin Yu was scolding her in a roundabout way, because she was just a nerd who knew nothing but endorsements.
Liu Tinglan remembered Jin Yu's words one by one in her mind.
After finishing the meal, Liu Tinglan dropped Wu Ziyi at the gate of the community and went back. Anyway, her goal was achieved. Communicating with wise men and learning from their words is the fastest way to make progress. This is something Wu Ziyi could never have imagined.
, why she progresses so quickly.
The book discussed today was deliberately placed in the most conspicuous position for Wu Ziyi to see. In order to get a word or two of advice from Jin Yu.
Of course, as smart as Jin Yu, he may have guessed what she was thinking, otherwise he would not cooperate with her. The main thing is to prevent Wu Ziyi from taking advantage of her. After all, the communication between the two depends on her. If Wu Ziyi is unhappy, she will also
No way.
However, she discovered that Jin Yu was not a local. She had a speech defect, even though there was only one sentence, "Because you read the translation once, didn't you?"
When locals speak rhetorical questions, they are placed at the beginning of the sentence, not at the end. This is also a problem that some outsiders find difficult to notice.
I wonder if Wu Ziyi has noticed it. After all, the two of them talk often, so there should be many flaws, right?
Forget it, the top priority is to do a good job in hosting the school anniversary, which is her most important task in high school. She wants some giants who can speak well in the province to notice their family and support them. After all,
, this school is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Wu Ziyi left Liu Tinglan's community, flagged down a taxi and prepared to go home.
"Aren't you going to go home and see your mother?" Jin Yu said.
Alas, it's this woman again, damn it! If she hadn't always taken that bastard father too seriously, they wouldn't have to live in such misery now. That man only provided a sperm and didn't raise her for even a day, so she
Do you want to keep calling him father until you grow old? She still feels sick thinking about it now that she still calls him father! How can there be such a man in this world, who is born without raising a child, and yet is so proud of how capable he is?
!
Such a man is not worthy of the unrealistic expectations of the mother and daughter! It is better to have such a father than not, why should we value him and give him money? He has hands and feet, and he is still an adult for several years. Sorry
Asking for money from the woman who has to support the family? Didn't his parents teach others not to get something for nothing?
Mom too! After being left out for so many years, can you still not see clearly the true nature of this man? He has a bad heart, can you still expect to do better to make him change his mind? Uncle Zhou Shuren said it best: Ai Qi
Unfortunately, he will not fight if he is angry.
Wu Ziyi had no idea of going back to see Wu's mother, because she asked for it. If it hadn't been for her, she wouldn't have been forced to study in such a far away place.
"The kindness of nurturing is as great as a mountain. After all, your mother has raised you. How can such a friendship be broken off? Why don't you go back and take a look when you are free today? She doesn't have her husband, will she have to lose it again?
Her daughter?" Jin Yu values harmony in family relationships. Family is like a person's roots, firmly rooted in the soil. People who have broken roots will not live long.
Wu Ziyi was persuaded and reported her home address to the driver.
When she arrived at the community where she lived before, she found that she seemed to have not been there for a long time. The bamboo chairs that had been there all year round were put away, and the branches of the trees for enjoying the shade were pruned. At first glance, they looked much thinner. There used to be a bicycle under the corner.
It’s a great place, but now there’s not even a car in sight.
She went up the stairs and originally wanted to knock on the door of her home. After thinking about it, she turned the corner and went upstairs and knocked on the door of the strong man.
Inside sat Wu's mother, who had a bruised nose and swollen face.
What's going on?
"My mother..." She looked at the strong man and didn't know how to ask.
When the strong man saw that it was Wu Ziyi, he hurriedly pulled her into the house, then looked out to see if anyone was following her. When he saw no one, he closed the door cautiously.
"Where have you been these days, girl? Your mother is almost worried about you!" He took out a bowl from the kitchen, washed it, and poured water for Wu Ziyi to drink.
Wu Ziyi didn't know what happened at home these days, but she was too embarrassed to ask Wu's mother, so she had to ask the strong uncle what was wrong.
"Hey, he's not your father! Do you know what he did? He owed money outside and asked your mother to pay it back! How did your mother come up with so much money? It's more than two million!" Zhuang
Uncle Han was so angry that he wanted to bang the table, but he was afraid that someone might hear him and come to his house, so he could only wave his fists angrily in the air.
What, more than two million?
When Wu Ziyi heard this amount, he began to panic: "Our family is not rich, how can we get so much money to pay him back? Moreover, we didn't spend the money, so why should we pay him back? It's him.
Are you coming to collect debts? How do I remember that he was not sent to prison...Did he think of some way to escape now?"
At this time, there was a knock on the door downstairs, and the sound was from the direction of Wu Ziyi's house.
"You stinky bitch, open the door for me! I heard that your family made a lot of money before, and it just so happened that your man owed us a large sum of money. Is it time to pay it back now? They say that it is natural to pay back debts.
, now that he is in jail, you have to help him pay off his debt!" The words were followed by the sound of sticks knocking on the door.
Why does this man owe so much money? I asked them before that the mother and daughter took no less than one hundred thousand, and now they owe more than two million outside. Do they think they are cash machines?
"Jinyu, what should we do now? They don't seem to be easy to mess with..."
Jin Yu only thought of taking up the weapon of law, "This is not a joint debt between husband and wife. First, he did not spend it on you mother and daughter. Second, your mother did not know about this debt, so it can only be regarded as his."
If you borrow a debt unilaterally, your mother has no obligation to repay it."
Will those bastards listen to this? They know money in their eyes, will they do anything irrational for money?
Seeing her concerns, Jin Yu further elaborated: "If you return it now, will he stop next time? Therefore, it is necessary to nip his innocent thoughts in the cradle."
But my mother values that man very much and might secretly help him pay back the money without telling her. What can she do?
"Give her a fixed amount of basic living expenses every month, just enough to make a living, so that she won't have any extra money to help him pay off his debts. And you are only sixteen now and cannot meet the legal support obligations. Who dares to take this?"
You can definitely fight back if you make a fuss about it. If you can't stop everyone from talking, I suggest you use the law as a weapon!" There are a lot of legal illiterates here, so she is not afraid at all.
"So what's my first step?"
"Didn't your money be deposited in her bank card? You can withdraw it and deposit it into your own bank card. It's best to apply for a new one, so that she doesn't know what bank you have opened, and she wants to be her guardian then.
It’s also difficult to withdraw money due to my status.”
After Wu Ziyi knew what to do, she only needed to make sure of one thing now.
He walked up to his mother and said, "The profit we made from selling books was four to me and six to you. I told you that I would deposit two of your six cents into your bank card for my safekeeping. You didn't touch them, right?"
"This is their capital for a comeback.
Mother Wu's eyes dodge, her expression became uncomfortable, and she mumbled after a while: "Your dad has entered the situation, and everything needs to be managed, and it costs money... You don't want your dad to be here either."
Are you being bullied in the bureau?"
Oh, this is her mother, a woman who can't tolerate any other woman except that man! Isn't she her daughter? Isn't she important? Why should she use all the money to fill that bottomless pit! Why does she
Why should she have such a mother? With such parents, how can she study hard, work hard, build a family, get married and have children? It is obviously a blood-sucking family, she should have given up any hope.
"Did you also touch my card?" Three-thirds of her four-cent profit was deposited in the bank card. Although the bank card was in her hand, Wu's mother still had the right to touch the money in her card as the legal guardian.
She no longer wants to deal with this deformed family. They are all freaks, hopelessly weird!
Mother Wu didn't say anything, which was her acquiescence. She should have known that besides the man in the prison, who else would she care about such a woman?
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat silent, the brawny uncle had no choice but to smooth things over: "Girl, you can make more money if you lose it, but family ties are gone forever, so don't be angry with your mother!"
Wu Ziyi knows this truth, but what will happen if he makes money? It's not like making a wedding dress for the man in prison!
"Uncle, you can see how hard we worked during the summer vacation. Although we made a lot of money, we rarely spent it. The money was just sitting in the bank card untouched. That is why we bought a TV before that man came to our house.
And household appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines..."
Mother Wu was dissatisfied with what Wu Ziyi called her man. She frowned and interrupted: "What man? That's your father, the man who gave birth to you and raised you!"
"Don't you have any idea whether you have raised me or not? The two of us have more than 900,000 yuan in our pockets. If you feed it to that dog, have you ever thought about me? Am I your daughter? You take me
You've never spent so much money, right? That dog just barked twice and cut off our escape! Have you ever thought about me? I want our family to live well.
I studied hard and didn’t want to embarrass you. I used the summer vacation to improve our family’s life and make money. Who am I doing it for? It’s not just for you. I don’t want you to work too hard in the factory. But what about you? What are you doing? What’s ahead?
After giving that man more than 100,000 yuan, why didn't you think about what he would do with so much? Now we are using our savings to wipe that man's ass!"
The strong man was shocked by the amount. Even if he worked in a factory all his life, he would not be able to earn that much money!
Wu's mother did not expect that Wu Ziyi would be so angry when she touched the money in the card, but her dignity did not allow her to show weakness at this time: "So what if I took the money? I didn't do it for you! The one in jail is your father,
Why are you so heartless and willing to see him suffer in prison? It would be good for everyone if he comes out early, right? And whatever money you make at such a young age is all earned by me. What’s wrong with me spending it myself?
Flowers willingly!”
Wu Ziyi was so angry that she dared them to work as cash machines for that man for the rest of their lives?
"Uncle, you've seen the situation in our family. It's not that I don't want to help, it's that... our family is a bottomless pit. Today they are squeezing millions, and tomorrow they are tens of thousands. Do they want me the day after tomorrow?
Life? I am just a girl. I also want to study, get married, and have children. I can’t bury my whole life and my husband’s family here. It’s enough for two people to have a tragedy. Why do I need to involve them?
To innocent people?”
The brawny uncle was someone who had been there and knew this truth, but he didn't expect that Wu's mother would secretly give Wu's father so much money without telling them. What he knew was that one day when he came home from get off work, he found that Wu's mother had been charged with debt collection.
He dragged her to the door and asked her to pay back the money. The furniture inside was only a few plastic stools that could not be sold, and a few cardboard boxes for books. He didn't see any other valuables.
Their family now has nothing of value, and the money they saved during the summer vacation was used by Wu's mother to give to Wu's father. What should Wu Ziyi do?
"Oh, this is what's wrong with you as a mother. The child's father has to live, so don't you two, mother and daughter, have to live? Fill all your savings into that bottomless pit, what will you eat and what will you use? Nizi, she wants
During this critical period of schooling and high school, money is extremely important.”
Wu's mother seemed to have heard some terrible news and tightened the sleeves of the strong man. "I can let her refund her tuition fees to solve this urgent problem first! Her father is still in prison, and there are people in those prisons who want debts.
, I'm afraid that her father will be beaten to death in prison because of this, how can I bear to see him suffer like this?"
It was too late to say it, but it was too late. Mother Wu's face was burning with pain.
Wu Ziyi took back her hand, "I finally understand now that I am not your biological child. You only have eyes for that homeless man, so who am I?" She opened the door and faced the debt collector knocking on the door fiercely downstairs.
People shouted, "No need to look for it, the person you are looking for is hiding here!"
As soon as Wu's mother recovered from the shock of being slapped by her own daughter, she saw Wu Ziyi walking towards the door and opening the door of sin.
"No, don't open... don't open the door!" Mother Wu stumbled to the door and tried to close the wide open door.
But it was too late. People downstairs had already heard Wu Ziyi's shouts.
A few debt collectors who are not easy to mess with at first glance
The man went upstairs to the strong man's house angrily, "It's easy for me to find. Have you collected your husband's money? If not, we have plenty of ways for you to collect it!" The man with the scar on his face led the way.
He spit, then dragged Wu's mother out of the room, "Next time if I can't find anyone at her house, I'll look for you at your house to see if you still dare to meddle in other people's business!" Before leaving, the man with scars on his face said
The man warned the strong man and Wu Ziyi severely.
As the door closed, Wu's mother's begging for mercy was also shut out.
The strong man was frightened by this turn of events.
Wu Ziyi transferred two thousand yuan to the strong man, "Our family's affairs have affected you. This is the compensation I will give you. You can use it to rent a new house. She will not be able to raise two million in a while."
, then it will be you who has to pay off the debt. Now that she has no money, how can she turn around? So listen to me and leave quickly before they let you help her pay off the debt."
"You really don't care about your mother. That's your mother, the mother who has been with you for sixteen years! How can you...how can you be so hard-hearted?"
Wu Ziyi clapped her fingers, "You have also seen the farce today. She didn't want me to live. What can I do? I went to an aristocratic school, and the tuition for one semester was only 150,000. All the money in my card is there
Then, why didn't she think about whether I wanted a bright future?"
Wu Ziyi held back tears, "My parents don't love me, so why should I beg for their care and love? Sometimes I wonder if I was picked up somewhere or adopted by someone."
Otherwise, why don’t I receive even the slightest attention?”
The strong man didn't know what to say now. Every family had its own scriptures that were difficult to recite. He was an outsider, so how could he know the sufferings of the Wu family?
Wu Ziyi checked the time and said, "It's time for me to go back to school. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, although... I can't be of much help."
The strong man sighed, "Tell me, does money have any magical power? It can turn good people into bad people, make timid people lose their minds, and it can also tear apart an already difficult family.
Already?"
Wu Ziyi thought about it seriously, and then said: "No. It just makes the evil buried underground bloom in advance. The only thing I can do is to strangle it to death in the palm of my hand as soon as possible to prevent it from multiplying.
"
After leaving Tongzilou, where she had lived for sixteen years, Wu Ziyi had mixed feelings.
This building has witnessed her growth, seen her growth footprints, protected her from the wind and rain, accompanied her to look at the stars when she was lonely and sleepless, and also carried her fantasies when she was young and ignorant.
, and also gave her invisible encouragement and support when she was studying hard... Now she is leaving. Although she is a little reluctant to leave, isn't this what growth must go through?
, is the normal state of life.
When Wu Ziyi returned to school, she found that no one could express her grievances, so she sat on the steps of the teaching building and cried. (To be continued)
