I really don't want to have a system

Chapter 140

Chapter 139: Interchanging Lives!
What Zhong Su said is correct, although his deterrent power is great, and he can also deter many forces.

However, one cannot place one's hopes on the possibility that others will give in because of this, or admit counsel.

In case the other party is stupid and insists on confronting you head-on, you can't back down and slap yourself in the face, right?
Therefore, all of this has to rely on one's own strength.

Only when you are strong can you be more secure.

This is a sense of security that no other external object can bring.

the other side!
Inside an old bungalow complex.

At this time, Chu Mengyao was walking in the community, looking at the dilapidated houses around her, her expression became more and more ugly.

I was worried in my heart, does Zhou Xiaoyu usually live in a place like this?

Chu Mengyao's heart was miserable, did she have to stay in this place for a week?
"Xiao Yu? Where did you go to play today, and you came home so late?" Suddenly, an old lady next to her greeted her with a smile.

"Hehehe... I went to play with my classmates for a while." Chu Mengyao forced a smile, and she didn't know each other, so she told a lie.

"Oh? Is that so..." The old lady smiled and said nothing more.

Chu Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief. After entering the community, this was already the third person who greeted her proactively.

It gave her a headache to cope with it.

There was even more slander in her heart. This guy Zhou Xiaoyu also told her that he had no friends.

But now, there are so many people who know her and say hello to her.

It's not like when she went home and entered the villa complex, few people knew her.

While muttering, Chu Mengyao looked at the location of her phone, and found that she was already in an old dilapidated bungalow.It looks small and homely on the outside, but there are some flowers and plants planted outside.

However, looking at the muddy ground, Chu Mengyao was a little bit helpless.

Looking at the dim light inside, there was even a faint coughing sound.

Chu Mengyao hesitated, bit her lips tightly, and walked over.

Just when I was about to take the key to open the door, I saw that the door was slightly open and it was not locked.

Chu Mengyao frowned slightly, pushed open the door, stepped into the house, and smelled a strong smell of medicine.

In the living room, the lights were on, but no one was seen.

Chu Mengyao frowned, looking at the messy living room, her heart became more and more conflicted.

In particular, after taking a look at the whole house, I saw that it only had two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, and it was filled with a lot of clutter.

It's getting more and more crowded...

In fact, the room is not a mess, things are neatly arranged, but because the area is too small, some things are piled up in the corners, almost reaching the ceiling.

But in the eyes of a young lady like Chu Mengyao, it was a mess.

"Ahem...Xiaoyu, are you back?" Suddenly, a middle-aged woman coughed in one of the bedrooms.

"Ah? It's me..." Chu Mengyao bluffed and quickly responded.

"I came back so late today, what happened? Xiao Yu?" Inside, the woman's worried voice came again.

"No...no! I went to play with my classmates for a while today, so I came back late." Chu Mengyao said indiscriminately, thinking that she would deal with it casually.

"Oh? Is that... cough cough!" However, he murmured inside and coughed again.

Chu Mengyao frowned tightly, seeing that her mother hadn't come out, she couldn't help walking towards that bedroom out of curiosity.

"mom……"

However, as soon as she entered the bedroom, Chu Mengyao felt that the smell of medicine was getting stronger, but as soon as she turned on the light and saw the scene inside, she couldn't help concentrating and shouted hoarsely.

Originally, she was still very awkward, but when faced with this situation, she didn't resist at all, instead she felt a little emotional.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman with a haggard face and dry hair was lying weakly on the bed, covering her mouth and coughing twice from time to time.

On the table next to it, there was also a medicine bowl with residue left on it.

Although the whole house was cleaned, it somehow felt less popular and deserted.

"Mom... are you okay?" Chu Mengyao hurried to the bed, worried.

At this time, Chu Mengyao finally understood why Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't let go of family matters.

I also understood why she asked me to help her take care of her mother.

At first, she didn't care about it, but now, she understands everything.

If it were other things, Chu Mengyao might not pay attention to it, but the scene in front of her made her emotional.

Because, this scene made her seem to go back to six years ago, when Chu Mengyao saw her mother in the hospital, it was the same.

The other person was lying on the hospital bed, looking extremely weak, but the eyes he looked at him always showed love and kindness.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman on the hospital bed looked at her with such kindness.

Zhou's mother smiled lovingly, looked at Chu Mengyao with relief, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the old problem is just a little frequent recently. But you, Xiaoyu, learned to play with your classmates and became a lot more cheerful. Mom Don't worry...cough cough..."

Known child Moruomu.

Chu Mengyao felt touched by the scene, and could feel the love in each other's eyes.

But why not Mother Zhou?

Usually when Zhou Xiaoyu came home, he was very cold-spoken, and even when he talked about some interesting things, he would always forcefully smile.

Therefore, Zhou's mother could tell at a glance that Zhou Xiaoyu was worried.

Therefore, Zhou's mother was also afraid that this silent suppression would completely crush her one day.

But today, she found that the Zhou Xiaoyu who came back was a little different.

Although he was still worried about her, he felt more youthful, cheerful and straightforward.

In this case, Zhou's mother also believed that Zhou Xiaoyu made true friends by playing with her classmates and released her inner depression.

"Mom..." Seeing that he was still happy for her, it seemed that he was not angry at all for her coming back late.

Chu Mengyao's heart became more and more bitter. This was exactly the same as her deceased mother, who loved and indulged her so much.

Chu Mengyao was able to develop a pampered personality because of her mother's death.

Because her mother passed away, and her father was busy with work and seldom cared about the family, he felt even more sorry for the mother and daughter.

Therefore, her father found it difficult to discipline Chu Mengyao.

Growing up in such a family background, it was hard for Chu Mengyao not to be pampered.

"Okay, have you eaten? Today is the meal made by mom. It's cold on the table. Mom will help you warm it up!" Mother Zhou smiled kindly, and she wanted to get up and prepare to do something.

In the past two years, Zhou Xiaoyu almost always helped cook three meals a day. As a mother, she seldom cooks.

Today, my daughter came back late, and she was idle, but she cooked a meal by herself.

As a result, unexpectedly, my daughter came back so late.

"No need, Mom... I can do it myself, you should have a good rest!" Chu Mengyao hurriedly stopped her with moist eyes.

She didn't expect that Zhou's mother was already so seriously ill, and she still cared about her?
Chu Mengyao's heart softened, she couldn't bear to do this.

"Oh...Okay! Can you warm it up yourself?" Seeing his firm attitude, Zhou's mother also sighed.

Chu Mengyao wanted to get up, but looked at the medicine bowl next to her, and asked doubtfully, "Mom, have you taken the medicine?"

"Eat, eat!" Mother Zhou waved her hand.

"But...you still have a bad cough..." Chu Mengyao hesitated and said worriedly.

"Ahem... The doctor said it can only be relieved. How can I drink it? It's not a panacea!" Mother Zhou coughed dryly, and said with a kind smile.

Hearing this, Chu Mengyao frowned tightly, gritted her teeth, and couldn't help but said, "Mom...how about we go to a big hospital? Go to the most famous hospital..."

"Xiaoyu, how can our family value it? As long as your father's salary is enough, our family can live on, so it's not bad now." Zhou's mother said dryly, knowing that her daughter was worried about herself, she persuaded her again: "Besides, we can It’s not that I didn’t go to the city hospital to see it, it’s also a big hospital, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”

"But..." Chu Mengyao's complexion changed drastically, she felt that Zhou's mother gave up the treatment so easily and didn't take her own life seriously at all.

She couldn't help but feel angry, and also felt a hint of helplessness and sadness in life.

"Hey, how many times have I said that you don't need to worry about these things. The most important thing for you now is to study hard, understand?" Mother Zhou sighed, but said seriously.

She doesn't want to be a burden to the family, let alone a burden to her children.

However, Chu Mengyao snorted displeased with this so-called study, and walked out of the bedroom feeling inexplicably irritable.

She really couldn't figure out why in the Chu family, her father and sister asked her to study hard.

However, when she came to Zhou Xiaoyu's house, Zhou's mother just asked her to study hard?
Isn't mother Zhou worried about her body at all?Does she not care about life and death?

Chu Mengyao felt a bit of coldness and cruelty, she didn't know what Zhou's mother was thinking.

But she was determined in her heart. If six years ago, if her mother could be saved, she would not let go of any chance.

But she couldn't understand why Zhou's mother gave up treatment even though she was seriously ill, but she still had a chance to live.
"Ah..." Seeing her daughter leaving with a snort, Mother Zhou sighed helplessly, her heart full of bitterness.

However, after Chu Mengyao came out, she looked at the food on the table, ran to the kitchen and heated it up clumsily, then brought it back to eat.

However, Chu Mengyao couldn't help feeling sad again after eating the food that wasn't very delicious but heart-warming, thinking of her dead mother.

Once upon a time, her mother also liked to cook some home-cooked dishes for her, even if they were not very delicious, they were still delicious, and she enjoyed eating them when she was a child.

At this moment, Chu Mengyao felt very nostalgic.

What's even more pity is that when she was a child, she thought that when she grew up, she would also cook for her mother.

However, now that I have grown up, my mother is gone.

There will never be that chance again.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but took out her phone and sent Zhou Xiaoyu a message.

{Your mother's situation...what the hell is going on? }
However, soon Zhou Xiaoyu also replied {My mother has tuberculosis and has been ill for a long time. I now take care of many things at home.So, these days, please help me take care of it. }
Speaking of this, Zhou Xiaoyu soon came with another message from the next day {I'm sorry, I didn't have time to explain this to you before, but my mother's situation... I hope you can help take care of three meals a day, as well as taking medicine . }
{If, these things, if you don't know how to do them, I can also prepare them early in the morning and send them over, as long as you help me and give them to her. }
However, when Chu Mengyao saw this, her eyes froze, and she hurriedly sent back a message: {No, since you talked about exchanging life, it's only natural for me to help you take care of your mother. I can cook, so don't worry. }
After a slight pause, Chu Mengyao sent another message: {As for the decoction, I will also do it. Tell me the ratio and recipe, and I will do it too. }
However, upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyu was also very happy. {Really?Thank you so much, if there is anything wrong, just let me know. }
After some doubts, Zhou Xiaoyu was a little worried and said: {It's just, can you really persevere?I'm afraid...Of course, you don't have to force yourself.I won't blame you either...}
However, Chu Mengyao responded confidently: "{Don't worry, I told you, just keep it with me! Don't you look down on me? Angry, angry, angry expression}"

Zhou Xiaoyu: {No!Embarrassed expression}
Chu Mengyao: {Then don't doubt this lady's ability?What you can do, can't this lady do? }
Zhou Xiaoyu: {. . . . . }
Chu Mengyao didn't care about this anymore, and soon, she talked with Zhou Xiaoyu about some details and other situations.

Suddenly, Chu Mengyao asked: {By the way, what happened to your dad? }
Zhou Xiaoyu: {My dad is okay?He works out of town and rarely comes back. }
Chu Mengyao frowned: {Why are you all right?Your mother, his wife has become so ill, and doesn't come back to take a look?Not to mention sending her to a big hospital for treatment, isn't this a scumbag? }
Speaking of this, Chu Mengyao thought of her father. Back then, her mother was in the hospital, and her father didn't visit her a few times.

As for taking care of her mother's daily life, let alone.

Therefore, Chu Mengyao refused to obey her father's discipline and became coquettish and overbearing.

However, when she asked this question, Zhou Xiaoyu fell silent and did not reply for a long time.

Chu Mengyao was also very puzzled, frowned slightly, and refreshed continuously, but did not see Zhou Xiaoyu replying.

"What's going on, she...? Is the internet disconnected?" Chu Mengyao muttered.

Suddenly, Zhou Xiaoyu replied, but only a short sentence.

"Because there is no money, my father has worked very hard to maintain the family!"

Zhou Xiaoyu is very sensible, she doesn't think that her father is cruel and doesn't care as Chu Mengyao thinks.

On the contrary, she knew that her father often didn't come home just to earn more money to maintain the family and her mother's medicine expenses.

Perhaps, in Chu Mengyao's eyes, her father seemed useless and mediocre.

But her father has really worked very hard and desperately.

Because Zhou Xiaoyu could see his father's exhausted body when he returned home, his sallow and wrinkled face, and his dry and scarred palms.

Her father's education level is not high, he just works on the construction site, doing some hard work and earning some hard money.

In Zhou Xiaoyu's eyes, being able to maintain this family is so great and full of brilliance.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xiaoyu continued to send messages to defend his father.

Soon, Chu Mengyao understood everything.

With an inexplicable pain in her heart, she hurriedly replied: {Sorry, I misunderstood! }
She thought Zhou Xiaoyu's father was the same kind of person as her father, but she didn't expect that they were completely different people.

If we say that the only thing they have in common is that they work outside and don't return home for a long time.

But her father made a lot of money and was known as the richest man in Jinnan.

As for Zhou Xiaoyu's father, just to maintain the family's life and daily expenses, he has already done his best.

Therefore, mother and daughter had to be left behind to miss each other.

Comparing the two, Chu Mengyao also felt that Zhou Xiaoyu's father was greater.At least, she is more humane and affectionate than her father.
