Tang Lihua officially left the orphanage at the age of eighteen, and devoted herself to making money. In order to make money, she served dishes and washed dishes in small restaurants, and worked several part-time jobs every day.
Because Tang Lihua is not alone, there are younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage, and she has to send part of her monthly income to the dean's mother.
In fact, Tang Lihua's working life didn't just start at the age of eighteen. When she was sensible and knew the importance of money, she consciously wanted to make money.
It's just that she is no longer a child laborer when she turns 18, and she won't be rejected by many part-time jobs because of her age, and she can earn more money.
During this time, Tang Lihua was very tired, but at the same time she was very fulfilled, especially when she took out her spare time to return to the orphanage and was surrounded by a group of younger brothers and sisters, she was very happy in her heart. Fatigue will be healed by those innocent smiling faces.
In the orphanage, Tang Lihua is the big sister who is relied on by many people, although she is only eighteen.
Tang Lihua has also met many kind-hearted people.
When they first came out to work, they found a job as a waiter in a small restaurant. Every meal time was the busiest time, and they had no time to eat at all.
The irregular diet made Tang Lihua's body very thin, and she felt malnourished.
At that time, Tang Lihua rented in a dilapidated old residential building. The rent there was very cheap, and it cost two to three hundred a month, but the environment was also very poor.
A single room of less than ten square meters has extremely poor sound insulation.
In an old residential building, because the rent is cheap, there are people from all over the world, some alone like Tang Lihua, and some with their families.
In fact, such a bad environment is really not suitable for a little girl like Tang Lihua to live in.
But because of the need to save money, this is the best place Tang Lihua can find.
It was a resting place, and Tang Lihua rented a small single room, except for a wooden bed and a dilapidated wooden cabinet, which could not hold other things.
Even to go to the toilet, you have to go out of the residential building and go to the public toilet on the other side of the road.
So Tang Lihua basically tried not to drink too much water before going home at night, just because she didn't want to get up in the middle of the night, especially in winter.
Tang Lihua seldom cooks in residential buildings. In fact, there are stoves in and outside the big courtyard, which are very simple. It is still possible to cook, but when it is time to cook, there are more people. Tang Lihua has no time and eats by herself. It's very simple.
This was the most embarrassing period for Tang Lihua, but it was also during this period that Tang Lihua met someone she would never forget in her life.
She was a very gentle person, spoke very softly, and treated others very gently. She was about thirty years old and was a lobby manager of a hotel.
A month's salary was much higher than Tang Lihua's. At that time, he was already considered a middle-income person, and he shouldn't have lived in this messy and poor residential building.
It's just that she has to save money to buy a house, and with one month's salary, she has to support her in-laws, sister-in-law, and that useless husband.
Tang Lihua didn't understand why she was trapped by such a family of blood-sucking insects. She could have a good life and not have to work so hard, but why she didn't divorce her husband and save herself from that quagmire.
Instead, he sank deeper and deeper, and finally couldn't extricate himself, allowing himself to be submerged in the quagmire.
She died of dystocia, Tang Lihua deeply remembered that day, that waste-like man, and her disgusting parents-in-law, everyone surrounded the newborn child.
That was a son, the son she had always wanted to have. She had worked so hard to give birth, but lost her own life.
Tang Lihua felt it was not worth it for her, but Tang Lihua had no choice.
Her husband and parents-in-law didn't even go to see her who was gradually losing her breath in the delivery room. They only cared about their precious son and grandson.
Tang Lihua came out of the orphanage. She had seen the ugliness of human nature many times, and that time was the most profound for her.
After she died, her parents came.
That useless man didn't let her parents see his grandson. The reason was very simple. He didn't want the child to grow up knowing that his mother died of dystocia because of giving birth to him. This would hurt the child.
Her parents were from the countryside, and it was already a week since they came to the city after knowing that their daughter was having a dystocia. Tang Lihua was heartbroken when she saw the poor old couple crying.
He didn't even see his daughter for the last time, let alone his grandson.
Tang Lihua watched that less than two months after her death, the man found a new second-married woman, and that woman also brought a daughter.
Later, the man's family moved out of the residential building, and Tang Lihua never saw them again.
Tang Lihua didn't know if she regretted it, but thinking about it, she probably did.
She saw that her parents were so sad for her, and she didn't know what would happen to her son in the future. She should regret it.
That good-for-nothing man was lazy, and Tang Lihua didn't believe that he could be a good father, especially when he got married so soon.
If there is another chance, Tang Lihua doesn't know whether she will have a different choice, whether she will choose a new life, but she wants to give this opportunity a chance to choose again.
"Ewha, you still have a fever. My sister made porridge for you. Get up and drink something. It's not easy to get better when you're hungry." This voice came from my ear, familiar, warm, and a little sour.
Tang Lihua knew that she was back, back to when she was eighteen years old.
Because of the long-term work, she fell ill and had a high fever and couldn't even get out of bed. At that time, it was this gentle person who helped her, bought medicine for her, made porridge, and took care of her.
That was the first warmth that Tang Lihua felt after she came out of the society, the warmth without any impurities, maybe there was a reason for her illness, so that Tang Lihua could still remember this time clearly decades later.
What's more, after experiencing so many worlds, Tang Lihua still remembers her. Tang Lihua wants to come back. There are her reasons. Tang Lihua has walked her life step by step. It can be said that she has no regrets for herself.
Tang Lihua has experienced poverty, but also prosperity and wealth, and she can do whatever she wants in the rest of her life.
But with money and power, Tang Lihua couldn't reverse time and space and go back to the past.
Now it is finally possible. Going through the mission world is a very interesting experience for Tang Lihua, and it is also a surprise to be able to come back.
This time she has the ability, she can give them better choices.
"Sister Chen, I..." Tang Lihua's thoughts wandered, she opened her eyes, saw Sister Chen's face, she was stunned for a moment, and then a sincere smile appeared on her face.
Chen Ru watched the little girl struggling to get up from the bed, and quickly put the bowls and chopsticks in her hands on the bedside table next to her, and helped her to sit up halfway.
Feeling the warm and powerful touch on the arm, Tang Lihua also felt more real.
Her throat was dry and her words were hoarse.
Chen Ru waited for her to sit down, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to the little girl's mouth, "Drink it quickly, I made this porridge thin, it's made of millet, it nourishes the stomach."
Tang Lihua obediently opened her mouth to drink, and a warm current flowed slowly in her heart.
After a bowl of millet porridge entered her stomach, Tang Lihua felt her weak limbs recover a little bit of strength. She smiled and looked at the face in front of her.
In fact, in the following decades, Tang Lihua had gradually forgotten Sister Chen's face, but seeing her now, she was still so familiar.
"Thank you, Sister Chen, go to work, Sister Chen, I can do it here." Tang Lihua remembered that because of taking care of herself, Sister Chen took a whole morning off, and then her salary this month was lower than before.
Because of this incident, her weird parents-in-law even started arguing, and even framed that Sister Chen didn't go to work, but went out to steal wild men.
Tang Lihua stood up and explained, but her in-laws still didn't believe it, and even scolded Tang Lihua together, saying that they were a partner to deceive people.
Fortunately, many people in the residential building saw Sister Chen coming to take care of her.
It's just that other people proved it was useless, so the old woman changed the way of being rude again, and turned the gun on Tang Lihua, asking Tang Lihua to compensate her daughter-in-law for the half-day wages lost.
Tang Lihua was rushing to work that day, so she didn't have time to continue arguing with her. According to the old woman, half a day's salary, medicine expenses, and care money added up to two hundred yuan.
She really took care of herself, bought medicine for herself, and cooked porridge. Tang Lihua always wanted to thank her, but Sister Chen didn't accept it. At this time, Tang Lihua didn't want to embarrass Sister Chen, so she gave the money.
The old woman got the money and didn't stop Tang Lihua. Tang Lihua was in a hurry to go to work and left. She didn't know what happened after that.
But when she got home again, Tang Lihua saw the two hundred yuan stuffed in under her door.
Tang Lihua didn't know what kind of mood she was at that time. After that, Tang Lihua didn't see Sister Chen again, maybe she was hiding from Tang Lihua, and she didn't want Tang Lihua to return the money again.
In short, when Tang Lihua saw Sister Chen again, there were bruises on her forehead, as if she had been hit with something, leaving bruises.
Facing Tang Lihua, Sister Chen still had that warm smile.
After that, there were many small things, and it was the Chen family who secretly helped Tang Lihua behind her back. Tang Lihua knew about it, but she was unable to repay anything.
When Sister Chen was pregnant, Tang Lihua also changed jobs and went to the hotel where Sister Chen worked. Finally, she was able to help Sister Chen with some things within her power.
Sister Chen always regards Tang Lihua as a child, and always feels sorry for her working so hard at such a young age. She is a person with a warm heart. If she hadn't been in such a family, her life would have been very good.
Tang Lihua's thoughts drifted away again, perhaps seeing Sister Chen, she sighed a lot.
Seeing that the little girl is so sensible, Chen Ru felt relieved, "Sister is fine, she has already asked for leave, and when you get better, it won't be too late for sister to go to work again."
Tang Lihua knew that she was kind, but she thought that the old woman would make a fuss soon, and the most difficult person would be Sister Chen.
Even if she wanted to protect Sister Chen, Tang Lihua had to save up some capital before she could have the ability and qualifications to have the confidence to protect Sister Chen.
So Tang Lihua needed some time. During this time, she didn't want Sister Chen to be implicated because of herself.
People like Sister Chen's in-laws don't care about anything at all, and they don't care about reputation. The whole family is waiting for the Chen family to support them. They only have money in their eyes, and they will definitely not let Sister Chen go easily.
