Rebirth 90: I changed my fate by winning the lottery

Living this life over again, she naturally had a lot of opinions about Ding Rong, but given her current family status, what could she do about it?

If she showed the slightest dissatisfaction with Ding Rong at home, she would definitely be slapped by Liu Yun.

Because he is only 17 years old, his guardian controls everything he does. Even though Ding Mo is actually a man in his thirties at heart, he cannot control his own destiny, so he can't do anything to Ding Rong.

Alas. She only dared to express her dissatisfaction in front of Ding Zhiping. She might as well wait until she reaches adulthood! If it doesn't work, she can think of a way to be a runaway girl! At least she can't be manipulated by her parents like before her rebirth.

When dinner was almost ready, Liu Yun brought Ding Rong home.

Just now when Ding Mo returned to her neighborhood, she saw her mother talking with a few middle-aged women downstairs. Ding Mo knew that they were probably talking about someone else's family affairs again, as this was her mother's hobby. She didn't go up to say hello, but quietly walked back, fearing that Liu Yun would find out and scold her for no reason.

Liu Yun stayed downstairs just to wait for Ding Rong to come back from school, and when he came back he was holding Ding Rong's schoolbag in one hand.

As soon as Liu Yun got home, he asked loudly: "Old Ding, is it time to eat? Rongrong is hungry."

Ding Zhiping quickly cooked the dishes and brought them to the table, and the family sat down to eat dinner.

Liu Yun looked at the food and started to get angry again: "Why is there only one meat dish? Don't you know that Rongrong is growing taller?"

Ding Zhiping quickly replied: "I didn't have enough money today, so I bought some meat. I'll buy some ribs tomorrow."

Liu Yun angrily scolded: "You have money to give this damn girl pocket money, but you don't have money to buy meat for Rongrong? Do you think I don't know that you gave her five dollars?"

Ding Zhiping's salary was all managed by Liu Yun, who gave him some living expenses every day for him to buy food and cook. It was rare for Ding Zhiping to save five yuan for Ding Mo.

Ding Mo and Ding Rong also had a big difference in pocket money. Ding Rong, a junior high school student, had two yuan a day, plus some extra money from Liu Yun, while Ding Mo, a high school student, had five yuan a week and rarely got extra money.

Based on current prices, an authentic tape costs ten yuan, and Ding Mo would have to save for half a month to buy one.

But Ding Rong was different. Ding Rong's school was far away, and he had to eat in the school cafeteria at noon. So even though Liu Yun paid the cafeteria's food expenses on a fixed basis every month, he would give Ding Rong a lot of extra money on this basis.

Liu Yun then attacked Ding Mo: "You stupid girl, hand over the money. What do you, a little kid, need so much money for?"

Ding Mo lowered her head, her thick bangs blocking Liu Yun's sight, and just let Liu Yun scold her silently. Anyway, she was no longer the adolescent girl she used to be. She would be sad and upset if she was scolded by her mother. She no longer had any expectations of her mother.

No expectation equals no harm.

Just for five dollars, Liu Yun made a big fuss about this, and Ding Mo was very upset. If the five dollars were given to Ding Rong, Liu Yun probably wouldn't have said so much.

Ding Mo suddenly looked up at Liu Yun: "Mom, I heard Ding Rong and my cousin talking on the phone yesterday."

Liu Yun didn't expect Ding Mo to say this. She looked at Ding Rong suspiciously.

Before Ding Rong could explain, Ding Mo added, "I heard him calling my cousin 'Mom' in a very affectionate way."

Ding Mo's words hit the nail on the head for Liu Yun. She could raise this son and treat him wholeheartedly as if he were her own, but she was afraid that this son would end up in someone else's family and would miss his old mother.

After all, Liu Yun is selfish by nature, and her original intention of raising Ding Rong was to satisfy herself.

Ding Rong saw that Liu Yun's face changed instantly, glared at Ding Mo, and quickly said, "I didn't call, she was just talking nonsense."

But the mental development of a junior high school student can only reach this level. No matter how smart Ding Rong is, he is still a little kid. This weak excuse seems really pale.

Liu Yun's face became even gloomier.

Ding Zhiping quickly said something nice: "It's not wrong for a child to miss his biological parents. And his father is sick, so it's only natural to show some concern."

Liu Yun became even angrier: "You are the father of this child now! And did your cousin come to you to borrow money again? How much do you want to borrow this time? Tell them no!"

Ding Zhiping explained: "My cousin's husband is sick and needs medical treatment. I just borrowed 5000 yuan."

"What kind of illness does you have that costs 5000 yuan? 5000 yuan is your half-year salary! We can't borrow money every time they come to borrow money just because they gave us a son, right?" Liu Yun was also furious with Ding Zhiping.

Ding Zhiping didn't dare to say anything after she yelled at him.

Ding Rong didn't even dare to persuade Liu Yun to lend money to their family at this time. He himself hadn't cleared the blame yet. It was not easy for his adoptive parents to pay attention to the matter of borrowing money. He had to keep a low profile.

Now he could only grit his teeth and glare at Ding Mo fiercely.

This also successfully made Liu Yun forget to ask about the five dollars. Ding Mo focused on eating. She had to eat more. In her previous life, she didn't grow taller because she gave all the delicious food to Ding Rong. Now she was only 17 years old and she still had a chance.

----------

The next day after school, Ding Mo went to a newsstand to see if there was a copy of the K City Evening News, hoping to find out if there was any winning number in yesterday's lottery.

Not long after she walked out of the school, she saw a familiar figure among the crowd leaving school.

She was very familiar with that figure, because no matter what occasion, she could always find him in the crowd at a glance. His figure was always so lonely and indifferent, always out of reach for her.

Ding Mo followed the man from a distance in a daze.

Suddenly she realized that she had done the same thing when she was 17 years old. It was an autumn day, and the roadside was full of withered sycamore trees, and the leaves kept falling. She also followed the boy silently for a long, long way until he disappeared in front of her house.

How come she still remembers that day?

"Why is it still like this?" Ding Mo suddenly squatted on the ground in annoyance and buried his head in his arms.

She had had a crush on this boy for many years.

After graduating from high school, she thought that she and he would never see each other again and her secret love would end in vain.

The secret love that lasted for several years in her youth was gradually forgotten in the years that followed, but unfortunately the boy became the first and only person Ding Mo loved in her life. She heard about his love, she heard about his marriage and having children, but she forgot that she should not even dream of such an existence.

Ding Mo was angry and annoyed, feeling that she was useless. She forced a few tears to flow from her face as she buried her face in her arms.

Suddenly a shadow fell over her.

"Are you okay?" she heard a voice above her.

Ding Mo looked up, and although the light was against him, he still recognized who was speaking at a glance.

Qi Zan, the person she once had a crush on, was a top student in the Chinese language class of a high school.

It’s funny to think about it. This is the first time in her two lifetimes that she has heard Qi Zan speak to her.

Suddenly, tears started streaming down my face.

Qi Zan was frightened. The girl cried so sadly.
