To Make He Yu Regret - Chapter 33

Let the story go back to the lush years of grandma and grandpa.

In front of his friends, He Yu made a vow that he would not marry Jiang Xiaozhen.

After he finished speaking, Zhang Shiyu pointed to the classroom door behind him: “Jiang Xiaozhen?”

He Yu turned his head immediately.

“Pump.” Zhang Shiyu covered his mouth.

Of course, Jiang Xiaozhen did not appear there. It was He Yu who was perplexed. He didn’t know where the feeling of guilty conscience started the moment he turned his head.

Also after that day, the tail behind He Yu disappeared.

On the first day that Jiang Xiaozhen did not follow him, He Yu believed that she was ashamed of the slap the day before and embarrassed to see him.

The next day, He Yu guessed that Jiang Xiaozhen was angry that he made fun of her that day.

On the third day, He Yu “shunned in” to Class Four of High School. There was no one in Jiang Xiaozhen’s position.

On the fourth day, He Yu went to the high school office again. He learned from the head teacher of the fourth class of high school that Jiang Xiaozhen took sick leave, and it seemed that her leg injury was more serious than he thought.

In the second week that Jiang Xiaozhen did not come to school, the first-year high school students entered the review stage of the final exam.

On that weekend, the door of He Yu’s new home was knocked.

Fan Xiuhui opened the door, and there was a person she hadn’t expected.

The middle-aged woman was wearing a thin coat, with color on her forehead and nose. Fan Xiuhui rushed into the door and showed a pleasing smile with deep wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.

“Mrs. Jiang family?”

Fan Xiuhui exclaimed, turned sideways, and welcomed her in.

“What’s wrong with you?”

He Yu came out of his room when he heard the movement outside. When Xu Meiyin saw him, her expression became more embarrassed. Fan Xiuhui invited her in and said, she waved her hand.

“Sorry, I’m bothering you all night, I followed the delivery address of the furniture last time… I really can’t help it, no one in this city can find it, sorry.”

Xu Meiyin was talking, her head lowered, and when Fan Xiuhui was about to ask, she knelt down and asked her.

“Can you lend me a sum of money?”

Fan Xiuhui, and He Yu behind her, were shocked by her actions.

They pulled her up quickly.

When Xu Meiyin calmed down, she sat in the living room of He Yu’s house, holding a cup of hot tea they had made, and she looked dazed.

Fan Xiuhui and He Yu’s understanding of Jiang’s family decency is still different from the actual situation.

They knew that Jiang’s family was down. Jiang Yuan went out to work and Xu Meiyin worked in a furniture store. But at least they took care of Jiang Xiaozhen very well. She could go to expensive private schools, bring gifts to the school to make friends, and wear fancy clothes. That “fallen soul” is just a comparison with their previous family background.

It’s not.

The restaurant’s business lost Jiang Yuan’s family. He gritted his teeth at first, and borrowed money from a friendly person many times, trying to hold on to it and survive the difficult period. The deficit was a bottomless pit that could not be blocked. After a long time, it was too late for him to stop the loss, and everything in the Jiang family collapsed.

Now they owe a huge sum of money to relatives and friends, and a family of three are like mice crossing the street, hiding their debts.

The last time Jiang Yuan returned to this city, the money he gave Jiang Xiaozhen was pieced together for their mother and daughter’s living expenses in the second half of the year. Even though they were extremely careful, Jiang Yuan’s trail was still discovered, and the current addresses of Xu Meiyin and Jiang Xiaozhen were also exposed.

A few days ago, Xu Meiyin’s place of work was smashed, and debt collectors broke into their home and took away all the money they could find at home.

The furniture store owner asked Xu Meiyin to compensate for the loss in the store. Her salary for a few months was gone and her job was lost. Their mother and daughter had to move out of their current residence before next month.

To make matters worse, Jiang Xiaozhen said that she didn’t want to go to school anymore and asked her mother to refund the tuition.

Xu Meiyin told her to go to school and prepare for the final exams that will come soon. Don’t be burdened and leave the money to an adult… Jiang Xiaozhen froze and refused to listen.

Desperate, Xu Meiyin turned the delivery note and found Fan Xiuhui here.

“How much do you want to borrow?”

After listening to Xu Meiyin’s narrative, it is impossible not to be moved. Fan Xiuhui is a kind-hearted person. She can help them if she is able to help. However, she knew in her heart that, given the Jiang family’s situation, there was a high probability that she would not be able to get the money back.

Hope ignited in Xu Meiyin’s eyes.

On her face, it is difficult to find the shadow of “Mrs. Jiang Family”, the woman who was elegant and decent and beautiful back then spoke softly.

Xu Meiyin in front of them had just scabs on her face, her eyes were muddy, and her clothes were ragged.

Grasping the opportunity to borrow money, her tone was eager, for fear that the other party would regret it: “How much can you borrow?”

Fan Xiuhui pursed her lips, a hesitant look in her eyes flashed.

He Yu truthfully reported a string of numbers.

Xu Meiyin successfully borrowed money.

He Yu offered to take her home to see Jiang Xiaozhen.

On the way, Xu Meiyin kept thanking him.

“I can’t thank you enough for your help. Thank you for caring about my Mingzhen.”

He Yu wanted to answer that he didn’t care about Jiang Xiaozhen. When the words came to my lips, I felt that there was no need to lie, so I swallowed.

“The first year of high school is about to take the final exam. It is better for her to go back to school earlier.”

“Yes,” Xu Meiyin sighed, but she was always optimistic: “It’s fine to borrow money, she feels sorry for me and her father. This is not the first time it happened, she also had trouble not going to school when she was a child .”

“When I was young? Was it the same reason as now?”

“No.”

Xu Meiyin’s answer was brief. In the night, there was a gray area between her eyebrows.

He Yu guessed something she didn’t want to say to outsiders, so he changed the topic wisely.

“Can Jiang Xiaozhen keep up with her studies? I have notes from her first year of high school. I can lend it to her if she needs it.”

“Can keep up,” Xu Meiyin said with a smile: “She studies very well.”

“Really?” He Yu was slightly surprised. He thought of Jiang Xiaozhen’s snacks in a schoolbag and the two years she had been repeating.

“Well, last time I went to a parent meeting, Yuekao Mingzhen’s total score was the fifth in the class, and the first fifty in the year.”

Xu Meiyin’s expression was much more relaxed, and her tone revealed pride: “My family Mingzhen has grown up, she must be promising.”

She was right, He Yu could not deny that it was indeed a good result.

If you want to enter their high school, you must not only afford the tuition, but also have good grades. And Jiang Xiaozhen can get such a ranking among this group of people, which shows that she is a child who can read and study.

So, what happened to the two years of repetition?

He Yu pondered, Xu Meiyin on the side was full of hopeful thoughts.

“My father and I, this life is almost ruined. We sell iron and send Xiaozhen to the best school. We will not let the situation at home affect her future. No matter how hard we are, no matter how tired we are, we are chased by others. It doesn’t matter if you hit or chase and scold, it doesn’t matter if Xiaozhen is good.”

Pity the parents of the world, he turned his head and looked at Xu Meiyin, remembering Jiang Yuan who was smoking at the school gate on a rainy day.

Jiang Xiaozhen is lucky, he thought.

She has a pair of parents who guarded her desperately. Even if they were in the quagmire, they raised their hands as much as possible to hold her up. They blocked all the mud and water, separated her from the painful reality, protected her innocent, and became a proud princess.

The back warehouse of the furniture store. Xu Meiyin pulled the lamp string several times, and finally said sorry to He Yu.

“It looks broken.”

Fortunately, the lights in the shop were still working, so He Yu went out to light them.

With the faint light, Xu Meiyin found the keyhole and opened the outermost iron door. The lock on the inner layer was broken, and the door opened with a light push.

In the small room, the scattered things have not been cleaned up by the owner, and the knocked over pots and pans are piled up with the new princess dress.

“Jane, mom borrowed money.”

Xu Meiyin entered the room lightly, ready to deal with her daughter’s anger.

“Are you sleeping? He Yu came to see you.”

No one answered.

She went straight to the only bed that could hide people and lifted up the blanket, Jiang Xiaozhen did not sleep in it.

“Oh my God, where is Ming Zhen going so late?” With sweat on her forehead, Xu Meiyin was anxious like an ant on a hot pot: “I have to go find her!”

“Wait for a while at home, will she go to dinner?” He Yu tried to calm her emotions.

Xu Meiyin shook her head: “It’s impossible. We don’t have money at home, and she can’t buy anything to eat.”

“That might be looking for you?”

“I told her when I went out, I was going to borrow money,” she was even more worried: “Will Xiaozhen run away from home? She was very angry when she heard that I wanted to borrow money.”

Who knows.

He Yu frowned, “Auntie, sit and rest, I will look around.”

“I’ll find it!” She couldn’t help but walked out with the key: “I know the surroundings better than you. You watch it at home. If Xiaozhen comes back, you contact me.”

He Yu had to say yes.

After Xu Meiyin left, he stayed alone in this ruined house.

After ten minutes of groping, He Yu found the table lamp whose lampshade was crushed and turned on the power, and the room was bright.

He Yu saw Jiang Xiaozhen’s schoolbag left in the corner, but she did not take it away.

The bag is very light and the zipper is open. In addition to a few textbooks and notes, there are also two forms: transfer application and student union cadre application form.

The two forms are sandwiched between the books and are intact, with no wrinkles.

Transfer application… It seems that Jiang Xiaozhen made the decision on the transfer suggested by He Yu.

The form has the signatures of the head teacher and the section leader. Where the student signs, she also writes her name squarely. The date of signing was the day when she was pushed down the stairs of the male students and he sent her home.

He Yu said to her that day: “If I mind, then change it.” Jiang Xiaozhen thoughtfully.

And the other student union cadre application form, full of handwriting, almost filled out.

Jiang Xiaozhen is preparing to run for the position of “Minister of Health.” In the column of election advantage, too many words were written, even exceeding the box given in the form: I have served as the health committee of the class for many years and have rich experience. Every day, I carefully supervise the hygiene work of the class. My class has won the banner of “civilized class” because of the best hygiene in a single week. Hygiene for me is not only to keep the class clean, I also pay attention to environmental protection, pay attention to resource recycling, and take the initiative to recycle waste for the class. If I serve as the Minister of Health, I will mobilize the whole school to collect together…

He Yu suddenly wanted to laugh: Jiang Xiaozhen is really invincible.

If he stood on the rostrum for running for cadres of the student ministry, he could easily imagine how much disgusting glances she could attract. I believe Jiang Xiaozhen himself, also has expectations about this.

She dared to do this.

The level of facelessness and lack of self-knowledge is surprising and admirable.
