The chopsticks in Cheng Xiaofu's hand fell to the ground and she looked at her mother blankly.

Widow Cheng's heart sank when she saw her daughter like this, and her face remained calm, "What's wrong? You're not eating well either. You dropped your chopsticks on the ground. I'll help you get a new pair."

After getting up and picking up the chopsticks on the ground, Widow Cheng went to the outhouse and looked at her daughter secretly outside. She saw that her daughter was in a daze for a long time. She lowered her head after a long time. Not knowing what she was thinking, she took the new chopsticks and turned around and entered the house.

.

"Eat, even though it's summer, the food won't taste good if it's cold." Widow Cheng handed the chopsticks to her daughter.

Cheng Xiaofu took it, but still lowered her head and did not move her chopsticks. Widow Cheng didn't think much about it. She just thought that her daughter was feeling uncomfortable and would be fine in a few days. Little did she expect that her daughter would be sick from that day on, and she only talked about her health.

She felt uncomfortable and refused to take her to the hospital. Widow Cheng thought of what she had said and vaguely guessed it. She held her breath and ignored it. She went to the clothing store and came back to cook in the evening. Seeing that her daughter refused to eat, she also

Without giving in, Widow Cheng became anxious after seeing that her daughter still refused to eat after three days of this.

"Come on, get up and let's go see a doctor." Widow Cheng pulled her daughter up.

Cheng Xiaofu didn't move, her body sank and she couldn't get up.

"What do you really want? Ah? I won't tell you, I'll save you some face, you have to be shameless, right? Who is Zhou Fuguo's family? Is that something you can miss? Look at you, you haven't graduated from junior high school yet.

, I don’t have a father, I’m just a poor mother who works for others, what do I have at home? Apart from surviving as long as I can, how can you be worthy of someone who can’t even wear the same clothes? They are cadres. At home,

No matter how good the conditions are, the partners you are looking for are all high-born, how do you match them? You were so angry two days ago, and I ignored you. I always wanted to see you, but look at you now,

Why do you still want to commit suicide for love? If you want to commit suicide for love, you have to die by yourself. I won't pay attention to you. Get up and feed me immediately." Widow Cheng went up and gave her daughter two big slaps.

Cheng Xiaofu's thoughts were revealed. Her expression softened a little, "Mom, I'm not hungry."

"You have to get up and eat even if you are not hungry. Look at how you look now. Your father died early and I worked hard to raise you, but you are willing to die for a man. Do you think you are worthy of me? A widow brought up

I can bear to go out to work with a child, and people will gossip. I can bear with it. For you, I can bear with being told that I am a loser. I only hope that you can stand out in the future and be seen by others. Until now.

Even if you have been wronged, you can stand up. Just look at what you are like now. How can you stand up? It would be better for both of us to just die now and be clean." Widow Cheng sat on the kang and started to cry, with a sad look on her face.

"Why can't you let me worry about something? Everyone in the store can see what you are thinking, otherwise why do you think you are not allowed to go to the store? If it weren't for the support of you and the money earned there, I would have come back with you a long time ago

I quit. I really can’t afford to lose that person, but for the sake of this family. No matter how embarrassed I am, I have to go. Why am I insisting so much? Isn’t it for you? Look at our family, if we don’t have this income, let alone go to school.

You can't even finish your meal. I asked you to stay away from your aunt, but you didn't listen. What can you learn from being with her? Seducing other people's men? Then you'll be waiting to be poked in the back for the rest of your life.

Bar."

Cheng Xiaofu didn't say a word, she lowered her head and wiped her tears together. She didn't understand what was wrong with her besides her poor family conditions. She was young and handsome, and went to junior high school. Isn't Zhou Fuguo a soldier? A soldier.

Do you care about this too?

She originally had a glimmer of hope, but now all her expectations have been shattered after hearing that Zhou Fuguo is getting married. Everything that allowed her to support herself is gone. She just feels that it is meaningless to live with such a person, even with the one she likes.

If the men are not together, what’s the point?

"I won't say anything more. You have a good rest today and have breakfast and go to school early tomorrow. If you don't want to go to school, then we won't go to school. This will also save money. Other people's children will find jobs if they don't go to junior high school.

Or if you get married, I don’t have the ability to find a job for you, so I’ll just drag my neighbors to find a home for you and you can get married.”

"Mom, I don't want to marry." Cheng Xiaofu couldn't help but tremble when she thought about living a life like her mother's. "If I want to marry, I'll marry a good one. I don't want to marry these poor people."

"Poor? Do you still know that you are poor? Can you still see your situation clearly?" Widow Cheng looked over with a sneer, "If you are from a good family, you have to choose someone with good conditions. You haven't graduated from junior high school and you don't have a formal job.

, why do people marry you like this? You are not a fairy, you are average-looking, what can you do? I think your eyesight is too high, and you can't even see yourself clearly. I told you, it was me before.

I pamper you so much. Everything depends on your thoughts, which is why you are like this. From now on, you have to ask me about everything you do."

"Mom, I didn't do anything. Are you trying to force me to death?" Cheng Xiaofu resisted dissatisfied.

"You can die if you want, and I won't stop you. Instead of letting you go out and embarrass yourself, it's better to just die." Widow Cheng turned over and lay on the kang without thinking much.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, while I was half asleep, I heard my daughter's cry of pain. I sat up in panic, pulled up the lamp and saw the blood on the edge of the bed. I was frightened to death. I cried out in pain, "My daughter" and hugged her.

When someone gets up, they rush out.

Fortunately, she was discovered in time and Cheng Xiaofu committed suicide by cutting her wrists and was saved. Widow Cheng did not dare to blink and stayed by the bedside.

Her eyes were swollen from crying, and she looked at her daughter who looked miserable on the bed and had no anger at all, "You want me to die with you, right? What on earth do you want?"

Widow Cheng did not expect her daughter to speak, and was silenced by her last words, "I want to meet Zhou Fuguo, just once, and I won't think more about it in the future."

"Are you feeling miserable?" Widow Cheng shook her head, but didn't say no, "Okay, then you promise mom you'll be good and don't seek death, and I'll find someone to help you."

Cheng Xiaofu said nothing and nodded.

After making an agreement, Widow Cheng went to the clothing store at noon that day. She stayed with her daughter in the hospital in the morning and never went to the store. As soon as she arrived at the store, Zhu Lan came forward with concern.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay? I was thinking that if you don't come tomorrow, I'll go to see you at home." There are still goods in the store, but after so long, Widow Cheng has never been absent from work. Zhu Lan is really cool.

Worried.

Widow Cheng tightened her clothes cautiously and tucked the hair behind her ear with one hand, "Sister, is Guilan here? I have something to save her."

After being in the store for so long, Widow Cheng naturally knew who had a good relationship with Zhou Fuguo, so it was useless to ask Zhu Lan.

Zhu Lan glanced at her, didn't ask any questions, and said with a smile, "Okay, sister-in-law, please wait. Guilan really came out today, but she has to go to the station to see her father-in-law off. He will be here soon."

Only then did Widow Cheng talk about asking for leave, "My wife is sick at home. I'm asking for a day off today. I don't know if it will delay the work in the store, and I didn't say hello to you in advance."

"It's okay. There are enough goods in the store. You have been working for so long and I haven't given you a break. If you ask for leave today, your salary will not be deducted. From now on, my sister-in-law will have two days off every month. You can choose which day you have two days off."

Zhu Lan also sympathized with Widow Cheng. She had to raise a child by herself, and the child was not worried. She also had a sister like that.

Widow Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, sister."

While she was waiting for Zhang Guilan, Widow Cheng went to the back room to make clothes. She didn't pay attention to Liu Xiaolan when she called in. Liu Xiaolan had long been used to it and didn't pick any questions.

Zhang Guilan went to the station with her mother. She was supposed to send her father-in-law away two days ago, but his body was not suitable for discharge. He stayed for two more days before being discharged with the doctor's permission. Zhang Guilan went to Guo Ying's side again in person.

A letter was delivered in one trip, and both of them got into the car today. She also breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhang Laowu was also brought back with her.

I originally planned to go home directly, but I had promised to pick out wedding items with Tian Xiaoyue and send my mother to Zhu Lan's shop. Then I got here. When I came in, I heard Zhu Lan say that Widow Cheng was looking for

Zhang Guilan was quite shocked because she was still asking herself. She was still wondering if she was related to Liu Xiaolan.

So when she heard Widow Cheng saying that she wanted Zhou Fuguo to meet her daughter, Zhang Guilan was quite shocked.

"I originally thought that if I told the child that Zhou Fuguo was getting married, she would give up, but I didn't expect that she actually started a hunger strike. She was scolded by me a few times last night, and her pulse was cut. I want to support this family, and I can't.

She can't look at her day by day, so she made a request. As long as she can see Zhou Fuguo, she will give up and will never seek death again. That's why I risk my life to beg you." Widow Cheng lowered her head with a look on her face.

Embarrassed, "I also know that it is not appropriate to ask you to do me such a favor for no reason."

Widow Cheng paused after speaking. Zhang Guilan was not in a hurry to speak. He wanted to see what else she wanted to say, so she continued, "I am just a daughter. If something happens to her, I will not be able to live anymore."

I'm going down. My family is also poor and we don't have much else, but I know one thing and want to exchange it."

Not wanting to owe the other party any debt, Widow Cheng could only do this.

Zhang Guilan raised her eyebrows, but still didn't speak.

The two of them were sitting in the hut talking. There was the sound of selling clothes outside, and no one paid attention to what was going on in the hut. Only then did Widow Cheng dare to speak with confidence, without fear of others hearing her.

"The lover of Liu Xiaolan's man is my sister." When she said this, Widow Cheng's chest felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, her head could not be lowered any lower, she didn't dare to see what Zhang Guilan looked at herself, and at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief, maybe

It’s better to say it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
