Reborn before her mother committed suicide, the heroine went crazy

When Feng Xiangmei saw Wan An Ning riding the new bicycle back, she looked disapproving.

"It's fine to have a broken bicycle. Why would you buy a new one in our situation? Isn't it just a waste of money?"

Wan An Ning didn't say much to her, only telling her: "The tires on that broken bicycle are slowly losing air, and it won't be long before it needs to be refilled. The mechanic said it's a problem with the wheel hub, and it'll cost a lot of money to replace the wheel hub. The bicycle is no longer worth repairing... Besides, I'm going to work in the county town in the future, and I can't walk back and forth every time, right?"

After Wan An Ning said this, Feng Xiangmei suddenly stopped talking. It was about thirty miles from the village to the county town. It would take at least an hour to get there by bicycle. If you walked, it might take more than three hours. If Wan An Ning was to work in the county town in the future, he would really need a better bicycle.

However, although she did not object to Wan An Ning buying a bicycle, she could not help but be curious: "An An, tell me the truth, how much money do you have?"

Wan An Ning thought, it’s finally here.

She didn't hide it anymore and took out all the money she had left. "This bicycle is second-hand and looks about 70% new. I bought it for 100 yuan. Apart from this, this is all I have left..."

Feng Xiangmei looked at the bicycle carefully, a little incredulous: "This bicycle is a brand name, how can it be so cheap at only 100 yuan? Did you meet someone selling stolen goods?"

Wan Anning took out the letter of guarantee written by Li Haoyuan and handed it to Feng Xiangmei, saying, "This is the letter of guarantee written by the person who sold me the bicycle. That person is Li Haoyuan from Lijiagou. If someone really comes to ask for the bicycle, you can take this out and ask him to go to Lijiagou to find the seller."

Feng Xiangmei carefully read the contents of the letter of guarantee and felt relieved. She put the letter of guarantee away and looked at the bicycle happily.

"This bicycle is worth buying. It's much better than the one your father bought for fifty yuan..."

Wan An Ning smiled and nodded: "I found a job in the city, with a monthly salary of 40 yuan, including food and accommodation. I will tidy up at home for the next two days. The day after tomorrow, I will ask Jingjing to ride her bike to take me to the county town, and then let her ride the bike back."

"You found a job so quickly? Is it reliable? Don't be fooled by them. Is the boss a man or a woman? Where do you live? Don't live in the boss's house..."

Feng Xiangmei asked a lot of questions, but fortunately Wan An Ning was well prepared and answered them one by one, which made Feng Xiangmei feel relieved for the time being.

"What are you going to do when you come back? Why don't you just ride your bike to where you live, so that when you come back, you can ride it back..."

"That won't work. There's no place to park where I live. There are several people living in one room. Will they be happy if I park my bike in the house?"

Feng Xiangmei thought so too and did not ask her to leave the bicycle in the city. However, she was still worried about Wan An Ning going to the county town to work alone as a girl.

"…Is the job you're talking about reliable? How about letting Jingjing go with you?"

"Mom, Jingjing is only sixteen. After the summer vacation, she will go to high school. Why should she go to class if she doesn't study hard at home?"

Feng Xiangmei thought that she had never had the time to tell Wan An Ning about An Jing going to school, so she wanted to take this opportunity to explain it to her.

"An An, I was just about to tell you that after the summer vacation, Jingjing won't be allowed to go to high school..."

"Why? Mom, do you know how hard it is to get into high school? Jingjing has such good grades and finally got in, why don't you let her go?"

"What's good about that? If she had good grades, she would have been admitted to a technical secondary school long ago. If she had been admitted to a technical secondary school, I would have sold everything I had and gritted my teeth to support her for three years. When she graduates, she will be able to help the family.

But she got into a high school. You see, high school takes three years. After three years, if she fails to get into college, everything will be in vain. Even if she gets into college, she will have to go to college for another four years...

After graduation and a job, it’s time to get married again... I can’t help my family at all. If my family was well-off, I wouldn’t say anything, but what’s the situation now? Your father is such a heartless person..."

Feng Xiangmei said, thinking that she had never done anything to let Wan Guofu down, and had lived with him sincerely, but he was determined to divorce her. She felt that it was not worth it for herself just thinking about it...

When Wan An Ning saw that Feng Xiangmei's eyes were red, he knew that she was thinking of Wan Guofu, so he hugged her to comfort her.

"Mom, don't worry, I've found a job now, and I'll be able to earn money to support the family in the future. We will definitely get better and better!"

Feng Xiangmei took out her handkerchief and blew her nose, smiling a little forcedly: "How many years can you stay at home? At most two or three years, then you should go out and get married. What's the point of expecting you to earn a few kilos of silver?"

In Feng Xiangmei's stereotype, apart from taking care of children at home, women would at most raise some livestock, such as chickens and ducks, and sell the eggs they had saved at home at the market during the slack season to supplement the household income.

As for the burden of supporting a family, it is still the men who should bear it.

Wan An Ning knew that it was not easy to change Feng Xiangmei's mind. Instead of preaching to her, she felt that it would be more convincing to wait and use facts to make her understand that women are no worse than men.

She did not refute Feng Xiangmei again.

Wan Anjing was doing homework in the west room. When she heard Wan An Ning coming back, she was happy and wanted to come out to greet her. But when she walked to the door, she heard the conversation between her and Feng Xiangmei, and her face darkened.

In fact, what my mother said was very right. If she was sensible, she should not continue to study. Not only would it add burden to the family, but it would also be unknown whether she could be admitted to university in three years...

Thinking of this, Wan Anjing began to back down again.

She returned to her room and touched the high school textbooks she had borrowed from her junior high school teacher. She felt a little reluctant, but she had to close the book and put it away silently.

Her third-year class teacher was a young girl who had just been transferred here. She had a good relationship with her. She originally wanted to go to a technical secondary school, but later her class teacher kept persuading her to take the high school entrance exam and go to college. She was persuaded by her class teacher and applied for high school instead...

Now it seems that maybe she shouldn't have changed her mind after all.

The head teacher might have good intentions, but she didn't understand her family situation. She herself couldn't have imagined that her parents, at this age, would actually be getting a divorce.

Maybe, it's all fate, she is not destined to go to college!

"Why did you put your books away? School is about to start, you have to hurry up. Although you did well in junior high school, it will be different in high school. Don't fall behind!"

Wan An Ning walked into the room and saw Wan An Jing sitting in a daze at the table. She knew that she must have heard what Feng Xiangmei said, and she felt bad.

She didn't say anything to reassure Wan Anjing, but only urged her to study hard.

Wan Anjing pursed her lips and said nothing.
