no light

Chapter No.17

Wen Yu was very thin, not the normal kind.

It's starving and skinny, with no extra meat.

The eyes were starved very large, and the teeth were white.The whole person looked very thin, as if he would fall down when the wind blows.

Wen Yu couldn't get enough to eat every day, his stomach was uncomfortably hungry, his stomach felt sour, and he felt a sense of emptiness.

Every day Wen Yu was so hungry that he secretly went to the mountains to pick wild fruits to eat.If he is lucky, he can find sweet potatoes and bamboo shoots. Wen Yu will hide them secretly and go to Uncle Chai to exchange for cooked food.

These were all done secretly by Wen Yu, and he couldn't be found out. If he was found out, he would be beaten.

But Wen Yu couldn't find something to eat every day.If you can't find her, you can only starve. Sometimes the wild fruit you pick is green, and it tastes very astringent and bitter, and you can't eat it.

Wen Yu was either starving every day, or being beaten, scolded and disgusted by his mother.

Wen Yu had a strong desire, she wanted to go to school, she wanted to leave here, she didn't want to stay here anymore, and going to school became the only thought in Wen Yu's mind.

But Wen Yu knew that Grandma would definitely scold her for wishful thinking, she would never agree, and would even keep an eye on Wen Yu to prevent Wen Yu from stealing money.

The school has regulations, and the money will not be returned after payment.

Mom and Dad are already saving money, considering the tuition fees for their younger brother who is not yet seven years old.They want Wendy to study for him.

If I let them know that I have this idea...

Wen Yu thought that as long as he secretly collected money to save enough tuition, after paying the tuition, it would be impossible for his mother to force the teacher to take out the money.

After paying the money, she must not be allowed to go to school.

As for the next thing, there must be a solution.

This is the only thing Wen Yu has been looking forward to doing.

Wen Yu envied those children who could go to school.Every day I carry my schoolbag and lunch to school.The sound of reading aloud came from the school, and Wen Yu followed it every day.

Every day, Wen Yu secretly picks up excess branches and sells them to Uncle Chai on the other side of the village.Or they sell sweet potatoes and bamboo shoots, and sell whatever Wen Yu finds that can be sold.

Every time, they went quietly on the mountain road. Wen Yu walked in a hurry, and sometimes ran over because Grandma couldn't find him.

Uncle Chai is a businessman, he has money if you have goods.He had heard about Wen Yu.The village is only that big, what happened to which family, what gossip, it didn't take long for the whole village to spread.

Uncle Chai's business is done with teachers or landlords in the village.

His ancestors have always been businessmen, and he has stable business dealings with the village and outside the village.

Every year when winter is approaching, I prepare to go out to sell firewood.

It is dangerous to go out in the mountains in winter, but businessmen pay attention to integrity.Now that the business has been negotiated and the two parties have set a time, they must go out of the mountain.

Uncle Chai never minds his own business.

Wen Yu ran over in such a hurry, flushed and panting, sneaking here to sell things.

Wen Yu is old enough to go to school.Uncle Chai guessed it, and Uncle Chai knew it before Wen Yu asked Uncle Chai to keep it a secret.

He just told Wen Yu that he would not mind his own business.

Wen Yu knew that what Uncle Chai meant was that he would not speak out.But if Wen Yu's side is discovered, he won't help either.

Wen Yu was very relieved, she didn't ask Uncle Chai to help her, after all, they were not related.

After several months in a row, Wen Yu carefully kept it a secret, and saved enough tuition fees for a year.

But later on, my grandmother found out, because Wen Yu Youtian came back late after cutting pigweed.

It rained so suddenly that day, Wen Yu was not prepared for it.

The mountain road back was muddy and slippery. If I was not careful, I would fall and fall down the mountain.

Wen Yu walked carefully, but was extremely anxious.

It's almost time to feed the pigs, but I haven't gone back yet.

Inadvertently, Wen Yu fell down with the bamboo basket directly.Rolled all over the mud, the small stones hurt my body.Wen Yu slowed down, got up, looked at the bamboo basket, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the bamboo basket was not broken, otherwise my mother would beat me again.

When she hurried home, Grandma looked at Wen Yu sullenly.Wen Yu's right eyelid twitched, and his heart skipped a beat, as he had a bad thought.

When grandma asked Wen Yu, where is the rest of the money?

Wen Yu froze in place.She knew she was not so lucky.

That was the only time Grandma was ever smart.

She found out that something was wrong with Wen Yu, and when Wen Yu didn't return after the time limit, she searched Wen Yu's bed, and found the tuition fees that Wen Yu had secretly saved under Wen Yu's bed.
