Tang Jiao brought a lot of fruits when she came home. Of course, she bought them herself. She also bought a lot of them for Gu Qiye!
There's nothing he can do about it. He thinks he's just a pretty boy. If he doesn't spend some money, it won't be good.
And... Tang Jiao thought with a guilty conscience, she even took a lot of snacks from him that day! But why did this person prepare a trunk full of snacks? That's strange.
Tang Jiao didn't think much. As soon as she walked in, she asked, "Are my classmates here?"
Siye immediately replied: "We're here, waiting for you in the living room."
Tang Jiao stuck out her tongue and walked in quickly. She said, "I'm sorry, I just went out."
Xu Jing and Li Yunchao arrived together. They had only just walked in for a short while, and they had just sat down to eat some fruit! Xu Jing is a sweet-talking person, and she has already started chatting with Shen Lianyi, talking about her as an aunt, while Li Yunchao is sitting aside, looking very ladylike.
Shen Lianyi took the fruit bought by Tang Jiao, looked at what was missing in the fruit plate, told Siye to wash it, and then told Tang Jiao to take her classmates to play together. Then he quickly went upstairs to his room, so as not to cause trouble to Tang Jiao and others.
Seeing that Tang Jiao was still wearing the same clothes as when she came out of school, Xu Jing blinked and said, "Tang Jiao, are you not home?"
Tang Jiao laughed and said, "Yes, I met my cousin and the others outside, so I simply hid out."
Tang Jiao didn't seem to shy away from these things, so the two little girls were not so worried.
"Tang Jiao, don't be afraid in the future. If you have any problems, come to me and I will help you settle it." Xu Jing was so proud.
Tang Jiao discovered that the girls around her wanted to protect her! Doesn't she seem to be easily bullied? She smiled and said, "Shall I show you around? Do you want to see my room?"
"want!"
Girls' friendship is so strange. They were not familiar with each other at first, but they seemed to become familiar with each other all of a sudden in one afternoon.
Xu Jing heard that Tang Jiao and Li Yunchao both needed tutoring, so she waved her hands and said she couldn't do it.
She sighed: "I don't want to waste my great youth studying. I plan to have a good time, but I can't ask you to go together."
Tang Jiao smiled: "We don't tutor every day, we can still have fun, just call me if you need anything."
After saying this, Xu Jing nodded repeatedly and said, "That's it, let's play together."
In the evening, Tang Jiao made a special call to her uncle to borrow a car: "I'll ask Lao Wang to send it back to you. You two girls, don't take the rickshaw. After all, it's not that safe."
When Xu Jing saw the car, she yelled, "I envy you so much, Tang Jiao, your car is so new."
Tang Jiao's little pear dimple was looming, and she realized that Xu Jing was very exaggerated in everything she did, but she didn't mean anything malicious.
"My uncle's car does not belong to our family. My father drove away my family's car."
Xu Jing: "...oh!"
Li Yunchao immediately said: "Xu Jing, let's go. Let's play together next time."
Afraid that Xu Jing would say something unpleasant that would affect Tang Jiao, she quickly pulled Xu Jing and left together.
Tang Jiao stood on the steps with her little hands raised and watched the two of them off. When they left, Tang Jiao asked Siye beside her with a smile: "Did Tang Shijie and his gang come to cause trouble today?"
Siye nodded quickly and said, "No! The old lady came over, and she was very aggressive. She wouldn't let them in, and they were so arrogant! They said some bad things about the lady, which made her very angry. Later, I don't know why the patrol room was closed. When they came, all three of them were captured. Sure enough, God showed his spirit."
Tang Jiao thought to herself, instead of God appearing, it was Gu Qiye appearing.
She walked in with a smile and said, "So, don't let God see you as a human being, otherwise, if God doesn't accept you, someone will accept you."
This was a strange thing to say, and Yotsuba didn't understand it, but she thought that the young lady was a scholar and knew a lot, so it was always right to listen to the young lady.
After the two female classmates left, Shen Lianyi also came downstairs. She was very happy for her daughter to play more with her classmates. Girls should eat, drink, and have fun.
She asked: "Where have you been today?"
He only called to tell her that he would come back later and asked her to help him socialize with his classmates, but he didn't say anything else.
Tang Jiao: "I'm going to take care of Erniu."
Shen Lianyi thought for a while, and finally realized why this name sounded familiar.
She became aware of the dog in the north.
Their daughter really liked that dog very much. But if she was asked to raise one, she would not do it.
Shen Lianyi really didn't understand her thoughts.
"I don't know who that family is. If you really like Gu Erniu, we should go there and visit early to avoid giving the impression of being disrespectful. You are still young and can't tell the difference between good and bad people. If you don't see her, I always feel uneasy." Shen Lianyi suddenly got divorced and felt that she was going to support the family. She felt a little more nervous for a while and had to be told repeatedly about everything.
Tang Jiao was sitting on the sofa, looking at her mother with a smile as she muttered. Although her mother was mumbling, Tang Jiao felt that she was in a good mood. She said with a smile: "Of course he is a very good person. If he is not a good person, , can the patrol room come and arrest people?"
Shen Lianyi was stunned for a moment, then realized: "So that's it!"
At that time, the police station came to take the person away, saying that they had received a report from the neighbors, saying that there were some troubles here. She thought they were real neighbors, thinking that the police station was so conscientious now. But I didn’t expect that it turned out not to be the case at all.
Shen Lianyi didn't know what to say for a while.
Tang Jiao added, "Don't worry, mother. When uncle comes back, I will take you to visit him, and you will know that he is very good."
Shen Qing went back to his hometown to deal with matters at the shipping company in the past two days, so he was not here.
Shen Lianyi nodded, "You're right, it's time to go take a look."
But thinking about it carefully, the person who could call the patrol room shouldn't be an ordinary person, and I felt a little worried for a while.
Seeing her like this, Tang Jiao took her hand and sat beside her, saying softly: "Mother, come, let's talk."
Shen Lianyi sighed, but she didn't know what her daughter wanted to say.
Tang Jiao looked her mother up and down, thought for a moment, and then led her out together. Mother and daughter were sitting in the garden. Tang Jiao said seriously, "Mom, from now on, we, mother and daughter, will depend on each other."
Her opening remarks were a little serious. Shen Lianyi sat up straight and stared at her daughter. Looking at her serious eyes, she nodded and said, "Yes, there are only two of us left."
I don't know why, but I feel a little sad, but I don't want to cry, I just want to be strong. If she is not strong, my daughter does not know what to do.
She whispered: "But mother will take good care of me. I will never lose you."
Tang Jiao laughed, with a bright smile. She held her mother's hand and said softly: "I know. Mother loves me so much, so she naturally treats me well. But there are only two of us left, and many things always happen. I have to remind my mother."
Shen Lianyi immediately said, "Say it."
She said softly: "Mom has never read a book, and she is old. She has made some omissions. She is always worried that there is something wrong with her. Please help me think about it."
Tang Zhiyong's slander against Shen Lianyi has thoroughly penetrated into Shen Lianyi's bones. No matter what she does on weekdays, there is always a sense of lack of confidence. Even her daughter feels that she is much better than a housewife who has studied.
Tang Jiao looked into her mother's eyes, and she could almost see the anxiety in her eyes.
Tang Jiao gently stroked her mother's palm with her fingers and said seriously: "Mom, actually you don't have to worry about anything. Anyway, there is nothing that we, mother and daughter, can't handle if we work together."
Shen Lianyi nodded immediately: "Yes, that's right."
Tang Jiao smiled: "In the future, people from the Tang family will inevitably come to harass us, but we don't have to worry about this anymore. Whenever someone comes, we will report it to the patrol room. I believe the patrol room will be happy to take care of it. They go in I guess they will be honest after a few times. Don’t they claim to be a scholarly family? I just want to see them embarrassed. Of course, these are small things, the main thing is your future."
Tang Jiao had thought about this problem for a long time. She said softly: "We can't rely on uncle forever. Uncle has his own life after all, and he may also get married. If we rely on uncle for everything, in the future, my aunt will You won’t be happy either.”
Shen Lianyi nodded again and again. Although the so-called "aunt" was still missing, she felt that she was right.
"You're right, we can't rely on your uncle for everything!"
Tang Jiao smiled: "I know my mother has some dowry. We want to maintain these for the time being, and our life should be worry-free. There is no need to ask for more from uncle for the time being. Uncle will come and go in the wind and rain. Very tiring.”
Tang Jiao's words touched Shen Lianyi's heart. She knew very well what her brother was like over the years, but she always turned her back on him. Now that she and Tang Zhiyong have separated, there are only two of her and her daughter. How can there be so many people? She feels more and more that her daughter is a conscientious and sensible person.
She said softly: "I am a sensible person. Your uncle has been really suffering these years. At that time, your aunt... "
She thought about it again and said, "I can't hide this from you after all, so I just told you."
The Shen family is not a local family in Shanghai. They are a wealthy family in Liyang, an ancient town near Shanghai. They specialize in the shipping business. Shen Qing has made an appointment with a local Miss Jiang in Shanghai early. This is the "aunt" in Shen Lianyi's mouth. In fact, although she is called aunt, she is not married to Shen Qing.
At that time, the Jiang family had two daughters. The eldest daughter was engaged to Lu Yulin, the second son of the Lu Family Boat Company; the second daughter was engaged to Shen Qing, the owner of the Shen Family Boat Company, which was quite amicable. If everything goes smoothly and Shen Qing and Lu Yulin become brothers-in-law, there won't be any disputes like later.
It's a pity that there is no if.
The eldest daughter of the Jiang family encountered a bully and was raped when she went out to play with her classmates. But this matter has been spoken out again, and everyone knows it. Although Lu Yulin said that he was willing not to care, Miss Jiang still ended her life with a piece of white silk.
The Jiang family felt ashamed of the Lu family, and were touched by Lu Yulin's character, so they decided to marry the Lu family. They actually had the idea of marrying their second daughter to Lu Yulin, thereby forcing the second young lady to break up with Shen Qing. The two of them were in love, but they didn't want to face such a situation. Shen Qing was naturally unwilling, but the old man of the Jiang family wanted to die and would rather lose the Shen family than the Lu family.
The scar on Shen Qing's face was caused by the farce of breaking off the engagement.
Shen Qing firmly disagreed to break off the engagement, and Miss Jiang was deeply affectionate towards him. The Jiang family actually had some heretic ideas and gave Miss Jiang the medicine, which made her and Lu Yulin have a good relationship.
Miss Jiang Er lost her innocence and instead of marrying as they wished, she committed suicide by jumping into the river.
When Shen Lianyi said this, she sighed quietly: "Miss Jiang Er left a final note to your uncle before she died. She doesn't hate anyone. I just ask your uncle not to embarrass anyone."
Hearing this, Tang Jiao looked very ugly. She sneered: "Then the Jiang family and the Lu family are going too far."
Shen Lianyi sighed and said, "It's all fate."
Tang Jiao shook her head: "Nothing is fate. In this world, life is in your own hands. They really don't take the Shen family seriously."
Shen Lianyi looked at her daughter immediately and quickly warned: "I am telling you this because I don't want you to say anything bad and irritate your uncle, but I don't want you to act recklessly. Do you know!"
Tang Jiao softened, nodded and said, "I know, mother, don't worry. I won't talk nonsense in front of uncle."
Shen Lianyi lowered his head: "Your uncle has suffered so much for so many years. Don't be angry with your uncle, he... has had a hard time."
Tang Jiao nodded: "I understand."
After a moment of silence, Tang Jiao suddenly looked up at Shen Lianyi and said, "Mom, why don't you go study?"
