Rebirth: I Want to Be a Hot Heroine

Chapter 227 Surviving in the Cracks

Qin Guanjiu suddenly smiled when he heard this, "Don't worry, you are so stupid, he won't look down on you."

Depend on!

Tao Ruiyi felt humiliated and was very unhappy.

"Then you take a rest first, I'll go out and check the situation."

Tao Ruiyi closed the door and went out, just in time to meet Lin Tong who was about to go upstairs.

She glared at him fiercely and then walked away.

Tao Ruiyi's forced smile instantly fell, and he withdrew his hand that was about to touch her.

Even if he told it now, Lin Tong would definitely not believe it.

It’s better to have less trouble than more.

Tao Ruiyi thought so and walked down the stairs with heavy steps.

He walked to the door and walked around for a few times. Tao An was not there. He must be with Hu Wan.

Tao Ruiyi did as Qin Guanjiu instructed and got a general idea of ​​the situation in the morning.

After lunch at noon, he and Qin Guanjiu had a big fight in the bedroom.

Qin Guanjiu blinked and signaled Tao Ruiyi to smash it quickly.

Tao Ruiyi picked up the vase on the bookshelf and started smashing it for several minutes.

Tao Ruiyi opened the door with a sullen face and said to the man in black at the door: "Go and call Miss Lin over! Go quickly!"

The man in black didn't understand the situation, but he knew Tao Ruiyi was Tao An's son, so he had to do as he was told.

Tao An was reading a book with Hu Wan in the bedroom when he heard his men knocking on the door.

He came out to take a look and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

The man in black whispered a few words in his ear. Tao An squinted his eyes to look at the situation downstairs, then said, "It's okay. Just keep an eye on him. Keep an eye on Tao Ruiyi and don't impulsively kill Qin Guanjiu."

The man in black agreed and went downstairs.

Tao An pushed open the door and returned to the room.

There was a dim light on inside, and a thin woman was sitting on the bed. There was an iron chain around her ankle, and the chain had a loop woven with wool.

This way she won't be hurt.

When Hu Wan heard the door closing, her pupils suddenly dilated and she shrank back.

Tao An walked in, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to stroke her chin.

Hu Wan raised her head silently. She wanted to speak, but after babbling for a long time, she couldn't say anything.

"Okay, be good." Tao An stroked her head again.

Hu Wan is still as beautiful as she was when she was young.

She is smart and polite, and always smiles at everyone she meets.

When did he fall in love with Hu Wan?

It seemed to be the winter break during the second semester of senior year in high school.

Ningcheng is bitterly cold in winter. Tao An will take the college entrance examination after this winter vacation, so he is studying hard.

My parents work far away from home, my grandparents died early, and my mother is an orphan.

So Tao An lives alone.

The village didn’t have air conditioning or heating like in the city, so when Tao An came back he could only stay by the small stove to keep warm.

The boy, who has now grown into an adult, is tall and thin. He is either at school or at home all day long. He never goes out to bask in the sun. His skin is very white, and he raises his long hands over the stove to keep warm.

My parents haven't sent me living expenses for three months.

The impoverished family had long since run out of money, and he could only do hard labor on weekends to barely sustain his life.

I finally got the winter vacation. I worked during the day and studied at night.

Tao An was almost overwhelmed by the torture of life.

He complained more than once why he was born into such a family.

But now that he's already here, there's nothing he can do. He can only rely on this only way out to change his status.

At that time, Tao An still had ambitions and aspirations in his heart. He was crazy about chemistry and decided to choose chemistry as his major when he entered university.

Later, become a chemist who contributes to the country.

The dream is far away, and he is still worrying about his livelihood all day long.

The boss at the construction site fired him.

The reason was that he looked like a gigolo and the people on the construction site disliked him.

Tao An could only swallow his anger and take a settlement payment.

Be patient and you will be able to get through this.

Tao An warmed his hands, spread out the money, and thought carefully about how to distribute it so that he could survive this winter.

It’s not that he hasn’t thought about scholarships, but how could he get one in the class?

He had no connections at all, and no parents to fight for him.

He ran to the Academic Affairs Office and made a scene, and was almost punished.

Tao An had no choice but to give up later on, as he still had to take the college entrance examination and couldn't have any stain on his face.

His parents didn't come home all year round, and the neighbors didn't dare to lend him money.

Hitting obstacles everywhere, Tao An survives in the cracks.

Survival was so difficult that he had no other thoughts at that time. He just wanted to stay alive and take the college entrance examination.

As they were dividing the money, the wooden door was pushed open with a creaking sound.

A little girl in a plain cotton coat came in.

Tao An had seen her several times. She was the daughter of two families next door. Her name was Hu Wan. She was now in the first year of high school and her grades were said to be pretty good.

Hu Wan stood by the door, holding a large bowl, and said shyly, "Well, I'm sorry, I knocked on the door for a long time just now, but you didn't hear me. I came to bring you food, and my mother asked me to come."

Tao An listened to the oriole-like voice, hurriedly picked up the money on the ground and hid it behind him.

"My mother knows that you are going to take the college entrance examination. She knows that you have good grades and will definitely be successful in the future. She said that she is optimistic about you and also knows your family's situation. She wants you to stop moving bricks on the construction site. My mother said that you can come to my house for dinner in the future. If you don't want to, I will bring food to you every day." Hu Wan said, a little embarrassed.

Her mother insisted that she come and curry favor with others. She was very reluctant, but she had no choice but to listen to her mother.

The main thing was that the words her mother asked her to convey contained a tone of pity and sympathy, which Hu Wan was extremely reluctant to say.

Seeing the embarrassment on Tao An's face, Hu Wan hurried in and put down the large bowl of food. "Well, brother, my mother doesn't mean to dislike you. She really wants to see you take the college entrance examination smoothly."

Tao An had a very strong sense of self-esteem, and after Hu Wan's explanation, his expression improved a little.

Hu Wan's family is the most welcoming family in the village. They have helped him a lot in the past, especially Hu Wan's mother. Every time she sees him, she greets him with a smile.

Tao An slowly stood up from the small wooden stool, looked at the food in the bowl, and said embarrassedly: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome! I'll leave first." Hu Wan was about to leave as if she was escaping.

Tao An called her, "Hu Wan, please wait a moment. I'll make room for you."

Hu Wan then remembered that she almost forgot about the bowl.

Hu Wan's family provided timely assistance and indeed solved his livelihood problem.

During that winter vacation, he and Hu Wan became much closer. Hu Wan always called him, "Brother, you are so good at chemistry. You will definitely be great in the future. I admire you."

"Brother, do you study so late every day? I need to learn from you!"

"elder brother……"

He knew that Hu Wan treated him as her brother, but he didn't want to know.
