Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

They stayed at Qian Jinling's house for a week. During the weekend when Xu Qianqian and Xu Ranran were off, Qian Jinling took her twin daughters out for a walk with her family, bought new clothes for everyone in the family, and took them out for a Western meal and a buffet.

The experience of the past two days was very novel to the Qian family. They used to think that eating out was just going to those small restaurants on the street, but they didn't expect that there were such luxurious restaurants in the city.

When eating at the buffet, they heard that they could take as much food and drink as they wanted after paying a once-time fee, so they all ate to their heart's content.

They took tray after tray of food and drink after drink. However, Qian Meijuan was an exception. She was a little nervous, especially when she saw her two cousins ​​of the same age eating elegantly. She felt embarrassed to wolf down the food like her family did.

Xu Qianqian looked at her grandparents, uncle, and cousin, and said with a pout, "Mom, our trip today was worth it. We got our money back!"

Qian Jinling looked at her daughter and smiled, "Isn't it good to get your money's worth? This means we came to the right place today. The two of you eat so little that I always lose money every time I bring you here."

Qian Longbin stuffed meat into his mouth and continued, "Aunt, this place is perfect for me. Bring me here more often in the future, and I will make sure you get back all the money you lost."

Qian Longbin took it for granted that he should spend money from his aunt Qian Jinling. In the past, Qian Jinling gave money to his grandparents, and they gave money to him to spend.

Now, he directly bypassed the old couple of the Qian family and asked Qian Jinling to spend money on him without any hesitation.

If his words just now were said by other clear-headed people, others would just think he was joking. But Qian Jinling knew that Qian Longbin was thinking so in his heart when he said it, and he might even start asking her for this and that in a few days.

In the first two years, Qian Longbin had just graduated from junior high school, and his poor grades prevented him from continuing his studies. Qian Jinling found a well-known technical school in the provincial capital, hoping that he could learn a craft.

But what did people say? They said that Aunt Qian Jinling looked down on him and thought he could only do hard labor! He refused to go to school and had been hanging around at home for two and a half years.

From then on, Qian Jinling realized very clearly that this nephew was of the same character as his father, and was a hopeless case.

In the past, when she sent money to her parents, she considered it as filial piety, and she didn't care who her parents spent the money on.

Now that her parents are here, she can provide them with food and drink. Qian Longbin still wants to spend his own money with a clear conscience, but it is not that easy.

Compared with the self-righteousness of the other members of the Qian family, Qian Meijuan always felt inferior. Especially when she was with her two cousins ​​of the same age, she felt very inferior.

Many of her clothes were left over by her two cousins. Qian Jinling took their family out and bought her a new set of clothes, but she couldn't wear that set all the time, and most of the time she still wore her old clothes.

There was a warm, slim and soft woolen skirt, which was her favorite piece of clothing. When my cousin came home on the weekend, she had just taken a bath at her aunt's house and was wearing that woolen skirt.

When my cousin Xu Ranran saw it, she casually said, "Sister Meijuan, this skirt seems to be from two years ago. Can you still wear it now?"

Although Xu Qianqian and Xu Ranran were younger than Qian Meijuan, they were half a head taller and a little fatter than her. Therefore, clothes that were one or two years younger for them were usually just right for Qian Meijuan.

Qian Meijuan's sensitive heart was deeply hurt, and she blushed and said timidly: "Well, it fits me well now!"

The two little cousins ​​didn't say anything else, but Qian Meijuan vaguely felt her cousins' contempt for her.

Will she have to live like this forever? She still wants to continue her studies, will her aunt really agree to help her transfer to another school?

Will my aunt and uncle give me money for school? If I go to my cousin's school, will I be laughed at by her classmates because of my identity?

She had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she didn't know who to tell them to. If only her mother was here, even if she had no money, she could at least feel that she was truly cared for and loved.

Because her desire to be loved was not satisfied, she gradually turned her expectation into resentment. She blamed her mother Yu Min for being so cruel and for running away from home without saying so and never returning.

She seemed to have forgotten how she had hurt Yu Min's heart before Yu Min resolutely left.

Yu Min was extremely disappointed with everyone in the Qian family, except for her ten-year-old daughter. Yu Min asked her if she also wanted to disappear from that family.

She still held out a glimmer of hope, thinking that if her daughter could say a few nice words to keep her, she would persist for a few more years no matter how hard and difficult it was.

But what did Qian Meijuan say and what did she do?

When Yu Min was beaten and scolded by Old Lady Qian, Qian Meijuan stood by and watched. When Yu Min could no longer bear it and wanted to fight back, Qian Meijuan stopped her and complained that Yu Min only knew how to criticize her and her brother.

He also said that Yu Min was just eating and didn't make any money, and had to rely on her grandparents' money to support her, and he even dared to scold her grandmother.

Words like these completely broke the tension in Yu Min's heart, and he no longer intended to have anything to do with anyone with the surname Qian.

Now, it was too late to say anything. Besides, she didn't regret what she had done before, she just hoped that Yu Min could come back and continue to serve her as a slave, instead of letting her be like a beggar begging for alms like now.

She recalled what her grandmother had said to her. At that time, her second uncle and second aunt were in trouble, and her brother was imprisoned for intentional injury. Her father was also a failure.

Grandma wanted to place her hopes on her, saying that she should study hard. She was pretty and if she read more books, she would be able to marry a big boss like her aunt in the future. Then her father and brother could rely on her for support.

As for whether she would be able to support her father and brother in the future, that was a matter for the future, but now she was so envious of her aunt who married a big boss and lived a life of luxury. At a young age, she had already made up her mind to find a rich man to marry in the future.

Thinking this way, she gained more courage to ask her aunt to support her schooling. After two days of thinking about it, she finally told Qian Jinling her idea.

When I came from home, my grandmother said she would help me with this matter. But in the past few days, she seemed to have forgotten the promise she made, and also seemed to have forgotten the expectation that she would marry into a rich family at some point in time.

After being beaten and scolded more often these days, Qian Meijuan has come to realize more clearly that there is no one at home she can rely on, and she can only fight for what she wants on her own.
