Rich lady, please go away, I am rich

Chapter 25: A family living in a houseboat

Through Xu Zhaodi's voice, Zhen Qiang finally understood the reason.

The little girl kept saying in her head,
{You hurry up, I don't want you to be extorted by them. }
extort money?In broad daylight, I came here to give gifts, why would I be extorted of money?
At the stall where the two were pushing the presents back and forth, a middle-aged woman walked out of the boathouse and called out to Xu Zhaodi.

Xu Zhaodi had no choice but to stop when she heard the words, and said helplessly to Zhen Qiang,

"This is my mother, she invited you to stay for dinner."

{Why don't you listen to advice! }

Zhen Qiang originally didn't plan to stay for dinner, but just wanted to give them a gift, and by the way, he gave them the 2 yuan in his pocket as a thank you.

But now I can't go anymore, because this grandma is very enthusiastic about pulling Zhen Qiang's arm and dragging her into the room.

The houseboat is not big, only a dozen square meters, with some cabinets placed around it, leaving a small open space in the middle.There is another room at the back, separated by a cloth curtain, presumably it should be a bedroom.

It didn't take long for the seafood in four cheap aluminum pots to be placed on the table.

The middle-aged woman stood outside the door and shouted a few words, and soon there were five more little girls of different ages in the boat house, the older one was about fourteen or five years old, and the younger one was only two or three years old, and they were led away. came in.

There is no need to greet, these children have already started to eat directly.

But now Zhen Qiang has no appetite at all, not because he dislikes the poor environment here, let alone looking down on these poor children.

It was just a conversation between the middle-aged woman and Xu Zhaodi when the middle-aged woman was cooking outside the door, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Although both of them use dialects, Zhen Qiang can't understand them, but there is a system!The voices of the two people were heard very clearly.

Grandmother: This man looks very rich, you saved his life, shouldn't you ask for more money?

Xu Zhaodi: They have already given you 3 yuan, and I will give it to you. You should not ask for money anymore.

Grandmother: Your child is not sensible at all. Seeing that you are about to get married and you don’t have a dowry, what do you want me to do?Besides, I'm still pregnant with a child. If you don't think about yourself, you have to leave some money for your future brother!
Xu Zhaodi:
Aunt: .
The conversation between the two didn't last long, but it was basically a middle-aged woman talking, and even slapped Xu Zhaodi.

But Xu Zhaodi only occasionally answered a few words, and most of the time, she just shook her head and remained silent.

The meal was over soon, and several children ran out again, not knowing where to play.

It was supposed to be school time, and it was obvious that none of them were enrolled.

Only Zhen Qiang, Xu Zhaodi and her mother were left in the boat house again. The middle-aged woman urged Xu Zhaodi to speak several times during the period, but Xu Zhaodi just kept her head down and refused to open her mouth.

Zhen Qiang probably understood it, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he said a few more words, stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing that Zhen Qiang was about to leave, the middle-aged woman was a little anxious, and kept pinching Xu Zhaodi's arm with her hands, and started cursing in her mouth.

But the stubborn Xu Zhaodi would rather endure the pain than say a word.

All this was seen and heard by Zhen Qiang. After walking out of the boat house, he finally couldn't bear it and turned back again.

Putting 2 yuan on the cabinet, he glanced at Xu Zhaodi, who bowed his head and said nothing, before leaving.

The middle-aged woman's eyes lit up at that time. She was still angry just now, and immediately changed to a smiling face, thanking Zhen Qiang a thousand times.

On the way home, Zhen Qiang was in a complicated mood.

Xu Zhaodi happened to save herself on the way to deliver seafood to the market.

And from the beginning to the end, no one mentioned money, except for the [-] medical expenses that were paid in advance.

Ye Zimei had given 5 yuan before, and now she has taken [-] yuan, but the [-] yuan did not bring any improvement to Xu Zhaodi's life. It is even certain that Xu Zhaodi will not spend a dime on her.

This kind of thing may be seen in film and television dramas, but today Zhen Qiang experienced it personally.

"You look so preoccupied, today is not going well?"

As soon as Ye Zimei came home, she found that Zhen Qiang was strange, and this guy hadn't cooked dinner for herself yet.

Zhen Qiang briefly recounted what happened today, but Ye Zimei laughed.

"You, you are too young. This kind of thing happens every day, but you are not allowed to see it."

"But."

"Don't be so, you are not a saint, you can't manage so many people's sufferings, just do your best. I'm hungry, let's go out to eat."

"It's not good for your health to go out to eat all the time. I'll make it for you now, and it will be fine soon."

Zhen Qiang got up and went to the kitchen. He had already filled up the refrigerator, and it was no longer an empty refrigerator with only a few bottles of purified water.

Cooking, washing, chopping and frying all in one go, seeing Zhen Qiang busy in the kitchen, Ye Zimei felt like seeing herself 20 years ago again.

I used to be every evening, no matter how hard it was to set up a street stall during the day, I would still prepare meals for my beloved man, so that he could have a hot meal when he came back.

Although those days were difficult, but in the first 19 years of Ye Zimei's life, they were the happiest until...
Otherwise, the blame lies in the fact that the villa is too big, if the distance between the kitchen and the living room is close enough, Zhen Qiang can hear Ye Zimei's voice, this is the past that he has always wanted to find out.

"Miss Mei, do you think that if you had a daughter, would you treat her like they did?"

During the meal, Zhen Qiang still couldn't help mentioning this matter.

"Conceived in October, once I give birth, it's all the flesh that falls from my body. How can I bear to let her suffer."

{How did he know that I have a daughter?Only Heizi knows about this! }
"Well, I won't anyway."

Um?etc!Zhen Qiang answered casually, then woke up suddenly.

Ye Zimei actually has a daughter?How come no one has ever heard of it.

Having a daughter means that Ye Zimei once had a husband, and Ye Zimei also mentioned Brother Heizi. Could it be that Heizi is her ex-husband? Is this the secret she keeps in her heart?

This incident happened so suddenly that Zhen Qiang couldn't accept it for a while.

"Don't just eat, eat a la carte. You are in good health now, and you need to pay attention to nutrition."

Ye Zimei saw that Zhen Qiang's eyes were a little dazed, thinking that he was still immersed in Xu Zhaodi's affairs, so she thoughtfully served him food.

At another time, Ye Zimei's little act of tenderness would definitely make Zhen Qiang ecstatic.But now, he feels like chewing wax on everything he eats.

The atmosphere at home today is a bit weird, Zhen Qiang is still the same as usual on the surface, helping Ye Zimei massage her head, rubbing her shoulders, and talking to her a few words, but he always seems absent-minded.
