Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Three: Past Life in Dreams
The aunt didn't come back until nearly three o'clock. By that time, Ding Haihe and his wife had already slept on the sofa.
As expected, she didn't see Ding Haiyang and Bai Xiujuan.
The aunt stretched out her hand and called Ding Wei over.
When her uncle went into the kitchen to start some preparations, she took Ding Wei to the bedroom and stuffed a red envelope directly into her.
"Take it."
Seeing that Ding Wei was about to refuse again, she said forcefully:
"Haitao's grades are so good. I know you have put in a lot of effort. This is all for you. Don't refuse."
"Auntie will fall out if you refuse me again."
As he spoke, he sighed again and looked at her distressedly.
"Actually, your uncle specifically asked me to give you this red envelope when we met, but I forgot about it because he was busy talking to you."
"You, don't be too mentally burdened. Think about it, no matter how good a tutor someone hires, your child won't be able to achieve such good results."
"You saved me so much money and gave Haitao such a good school. I know it well."
Ding Wei blushed a little.
…
She really didn't do anything, just collected some information. Money was spent, but in total it was only one or two thousand yuan.
As a result, Auntie and the others are still so solemn...
Normally, if the conversation comes to this point, Ding Wei will definitely take it.
But the red envelope is quite thick.
With this pinch, Ding Wei knew that it must be 10,000 yuan.
Such a big sum of money.
She said: "Auntie, Haitao's achievements are due to his own hard work and talent. I didn't do anything."
Auntie didn't believe it.
"The information you got back either cost a lot of money or a lot of effort. It's definitely not in vain."
"Otherwise, with so many people going to prestigious universities, why don't they see their relatives' grades improve so quickly?"
Ding Wei shook her head: "It's not necessary. Auntie, I know you gave me this money because you wanted me to use it to pay for tuition or living expenses. But my dad and the others will definitely pay for the tuition. Didn't you specially call them here at night?
Are you ready? There is no need to pay this money anymore."
"I'm an adult now, I have hands and feet, and I've actually saved enough for my tuition fees."
…
The aunt touched her face:
"Girl, you are too strong, but it will be a little harder. But you feel at ease, so I won't advise you to do anything."
"But if you want to be strong, you have to be strong in your bones, not in words. People who are stubborn will suffer."
As he spoke, he sighed again:
"If you really need money, if you show off your face, I will definitely be able to help you get the tuition."
"But what's the use?"
"When your grandparents did that to me, they wanted to tie me up and sell me when they said we were kissing each other. At that time, I hated them the most in my life."
Sometimes I feel so angry at night that I just want to burn the house down.
If there is no way to survive, everyone will have no way to survive.
But I still endured it.
However, the aunt didn't say this because she was afraid of scaring the child.
"But blood ties are not so easy to break."
"The shameless ones are the shameless ones who can't win."
"There are a lot of disgusting things in life. I'm married and living a good life. I have to be filial to your grandparents, so I have to do it as a matter of course, otherwise people around me will drown me with their talk. Your uncle is also a leader.
Reputation is the most important thing, so the two of us had no choice but to provide it to him."
She sighed: "To be honest at that time, although it took a lot of effort to do your dad and your uncle's work well, we also wanted to save some worry in the future."
…
When the aunt saw Ding Wei, it was as if she had seen herself in the past, and she spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
"Weiwei, when I say this, I'm not trying to persuade you to reconcile or swallow your anger. I'm just telling you what's in my heart."
"The main purpose of tonight's meeting is to let them calm down and stop getting into trouble, so that they can set their sights on you."
"Even if I risk my skin tonight, your reputation will be damaged. There are so many things going on in life, and no one can guarantee that you will never come back, right? Gossips don't bite, but what you hear will make you angry."
"Auntie, I'll tell you the truth. I may not be able to get the money tonight. The main thing is to help you sort out this family first."
"Let your dad know that you have no time to take care of yourself, and you have to ask him for money if he comes to you, so that they won't try to target you."
"Otherwise, if you find a partner for marriage in the future, they will be full of bad luck."
As he spoke, his expression became disgusted, and he didn't know what he was thinking of: "Sometimes they have such brains that you can't figure it out no matter how you think about them."
"So just take the money."
"Whether you get it or not, this money is a guarantee for your future. You made your own money in your sophomore year, and you earned it in your junior year. What about your senior year? In this life, you have to rely on yourself for everything. It's not easy."
"Besides, you and Haitao are biological siblings. Auntie, I won't say that. You will live a better life in the future. Isn't it okay to help your brother Haitao move a few steps?"
The conversation had already reached this point, and if she insisted on rejecting it any further, it would be emotionally damaging, so Ding Wei had no choice but to accept it.
However, she remembered another question:
"Auntie, is the child in my parents' belly really a son?"
Auntie sighed:
"It's not time to take an ultrasound yet."
"I heard that there is some kind of blood test on Hong Kong Island right now, and your parents are not willing to pay for it."
After saying that, he looked confused: "I wish it was a boy."
Ding Wei was silent for a while and then said:
"I also hope it's a boy."
Do less evil.
…
Speaking of the child in her belly, the aunt reminded her again:
"Anyway, I see your father's attitude. He won't give up until he gets a son."
"Weiwei, you have to remember that when you have a younger brother in the future, no matter how good your younger brother is, you can't use money to support him."
"If the child is really useless, forget it. If he is outstanding, you can find a way for him to go to school and make up for extra classes, but you are not allowed to give him money."
"Once you open this mouth, you will never be able to stop it for the rest of your life."
Ding Wei understood what her aunt meant.
Sometimes, family relationships are very complicated and cannot be clearly divided by dividing them unilaterally.
"Okay, Auntie, I understand."
Auntie has finished what she needs to say, and there is nothing left to say.
He could only touch her hair again, with soft eyes: "I have nothing to do in the afternoon. There is a comfortable recliner in Haitao's study. You can go there and sleep for a while."
"Okay," Ding Wei stood up: "Auntie, you should also rest for a while."
…
The lounge chair in Haitao's study is really comfortable.
It's still rotatable.
Ding Wei sat on it and slowly turned around, looking at the densely packed books on the bookshelves around her. At this moment, she couldn't help but think over and over again in her heart.
How conceited was she in her previous life?
That's why we define family so arbitrarily.
Judging from the attitudes of the eldest aunt and the second aunt, it is obvious that they are not the old tradition. So why do they dislike me?
Why didn't she reflect and think about it at that time?
After crossing a time and space, she could no longer find the answers to these questions. At this moment, she could only cherish this rare emotion.
The swivel chair swayed slowly in circles, and soon stopped, and Ding Wei also closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep——
…
The leaves are all yellow.
The tree-lined paths on campus are covered with golden fallen leaves, which is very artistic.
Ding Wei and a girl were walking on the road carrying backpacks.
--Who is that?
Faintly, she heard herself asking questions in her heart.
Is she the girl we worked with when we were in school in a previous life?
Ding Wei tried hard to see clearly.
But suddenly she remembered: Oh, Zhou Xuemei.
In her previous life, she had a falling out with Chen Siyu as soon as school started, and she ended up moving into a dormitory to live with Zhou Xuemei.
The old events from more than ten years ago did not remind her of anything even if she saw people in this life... No wonder she felt very close to Zhou Xuemei sometimes.
Now in my dream, I thought about it carefully and then I remembered - at that time, although her mother did not get pregnant at the end of her freshman year, it was true that starting from the next semester, the living expenses were even more generous.
I remembered three hundred and four hundred, but if I couldn't remember, I simply didn't give it to her. I called it to train her, and even gave examples of many other people's children.
Ding Wei has been accustomed to this kind of neglect since childhood.
Although I was complaining a lot, I still worked honestly to earn money.
But at that time, she had never tried writing.
Writing requires upfront waiting costs and time, and she can't afford to wait.
I don’t think I have the talent either.
After all, as soon as school started, I was busy with all kinds of work and lost my mind. I just passed my studies. I was either napping in class or doing other private work. How could I have thought about studying seriously?
During the four years of college, my only goal is to get my diploma and find a job quickly, so that I can live a life without worries about food and clothing.
It’s just about having enough food and clothing.
Other classmates were taking postgraduate entrance exams, but she hadn't even thought about it.
That……
Why didn't I know Xie Yan in my previous life?
Only after turning around this thought, she saw her thoughts sinking downwards, Zhou Xuemei's laughter still echoed in her ears:
"Look, the fat senior brother in front is the one who gets the scholarship from the Institute of Technology and Information Technology every year."
"ah!"
Ding Wei heard herself make a sound, very small.
"I feel so cute...is it because I'm chubby?"
"Besides, shouldn't he be a senior by this time? Why is he in school?"
"Oh, don't mention it."
Zhou Xuemei sighed and said: "I heard that this senior brother is a bit unlucky. In fact, when he was a junior, a tutor took a fancy to him and wanted to take him to do development."
"But he hadn't graduated yet at that time, so he felt it was a bit too early and wanted to learn more in school."
"I waited until graduation to join the past. I don't know why, but the teacher team suddenly fell apart from the head office. They followed their mentors to develop, without capital injection, and the progress of the business at hand was very slow."
"I don't know what happened in the end. It seemed like they were surpassed by others or something. All of a sudden, all their research was in vain..."
"Senior brother seems to have only received a basic salary, but his mentor is said to have mortgaged his house to start his business..."
"ah?"
Ding Wei heard herself sigh in surprise: "How could this happen? But with his skills, it's easy to find a job."
"yes."
Zhou Xuemei said cheerfully:
"I heard that my senior brother seems to be starting his own business. He is just starting to make apps and games. However, it is a bit difficult to raise funds in the early stage. It is said that there are quite a lot of loans... I didn't listen carefully, but there are posts on the forum. You can take a look.
.”
Then he said depressedly: "It's a pity, it's hard to find any job in our department..."
Ding Wei frequently looked up at the plump senior brother, feeling a little melancholy for some reason.
And Zhou Xuemei said at this time:
"Weiwei, I think... my boyfriend is a little too obedient. My mother says everything, my mother thinks, my mother says..."
"I don't want to fall in love anymore. I feel so tired."
Ding Wei also looked at her worriedly.
"Then think about it carefully. In fact, I don't think you have time to work anymore after you fall in love. Your living expenses are now less than mine. We have no place to live during the holidays. You have to save this money..."
Zhou Xuemei was still hesitating: "But he does care about me... Do you think anyone else likes me like this..."
The two of them walked forward slowly with their backpacks on their backs, while the fat senior brother in front stood staring at the dead leaves with an indescribable expression of indifference.
When Ding Wei passed by him, for some reason, she turned her head and looked at him.
Looking at him from a close distance, although he is round and chubby, he does not look greasy at all, and he even looks very cute.
She felt a little shy in her heart.
However, when he looked at the white shoes on his feet and the sweater that had some threads, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
She didn't see that the chubby senior brother looked at her and suddenly smiled.
His expression is indescribably gentle and soft.
But soon, he took out his mobile phone, seemed to have seen some news, his expression converged, and he quickly walked away.
…
Ding Wei woke up with a start.
She was sitting on the recliner, and now she reached out her hand to touch the corners of her eyes, and suddenly felt a little wet.
So... in fact, they had met each other in the previous life, right?
Pity.
Girls who can't even maintain their lives have no intention of having sex.
She took out her mobile phone, found Xiuxiu's name at the top, and dialed the number directly:
"Thank you."
Xie Yan was holding his cell phone with his shoulders hunched, still typing on the keyboard in his hand. When he heard her voice, he stretched out his hand to pull Senior Brother Zhou over, pressed him on the stool in front of him, and walked aside with the phone:
"Weiwei, what happened?"
Ding Wei laughed unconsciously:
"Nothing, I just want to hear your voice suddenly."
…
Xie Yan frowned.
"Did you encounter anything unhappy when you came home? Did your parents make you feel wronged?"
When Weiwei is in a good mood, she never calls him by his first name.
And her self-regulation ability is very strong. It has been a long time since Xie Yan heard such a low and panicked tone from her.
"No no."
Ding Wei's mood improved instantly, and she suddenly figured it out.
The so-called love is meeting the right person at the right time.
In my previous life, I was so exhausted that even if I met Xie Yan, I might not be able to find a way out in the end.
All wisdom and open-mindedness, maturity and indifference take time to achieve.
