Chapter 338 Three or two ebony plums outside the bamboo ([-])
When Qiao Wei returned home, Li Yan had already picked up her younger brother Qing Luojin.

Rice is stewing in the kitchen, Chinese cabbage is bubbling in the pot, and the whole kitchen is hazy by the steaming heat.

When Qiao Wei entered, the mother and son looked back at her at the same time, their eyes were red.

"what happened?"

As soon as she asked, Xiao Luojin let go of the hand holding Li Yan's clothes, turned around and ran into the bedroom.

Qiao Wei was puzzled like the second monk, put down her schoolbag, rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen to help, while asking Li Yan: "Mom, what's wrong with my brother?"

Li Yan lowered her head, bit her mouth and did not speak.

Qiao Wei sat on the small bench, took the pumpkin vines in the basket and began to choose vegetables.

"Qiao Wei." Li Yan struggled there for a long time, and finally opened her mouth. "Are you going to take the high school entrance examination soon?"

"Ah."

"After the exam... do you have any plans?"

Qiao Wei paused when she chose vegetables.

She looked up at Li Yan, who avoided her gaze guiltily.

Qiao Wei instantly understood what she meant.

According to the normal steps, after the high school entrance examination, it is time to go to high school and university.But Li Yan's question obviously did not intend to let her take the normal steps, but Li Yan couldn't say this sentence, so she could only hope that this sensible and precocious daughter would say it by herself, so that the mother's burden would be relieved. guilt.

Qiao Wei knew that it was no one else's fault.

Her family's economic conditions are not good. At least the primary and junior high schools are supported by national policies, so the expenses are not that big.But as soon as she entered high school, Li Yan couldn't afford the expensive tuition fees, miscellaneous fees, and tuition fees.

It is not easy for a woman who has no schooling and no survival skills to support two children to go to school.

Qiao Wei's grades are not as good as her younger brother Luo Jin's, and she is almost at the age where she can work independently. The most important thing is that she is a girl.

Although the times are changing, in the eyes of many elders, the old-fashioned idea that sons are left to inherit the family business and daughters will marry off sooner or later still remains.

Girl, this identity alone is destined to make Qiao Wei the one who will be sacrificed.

Qiao Wei lowered her head and continued to choose vegetables.

Her fingers are skinny, sallow and rough which are completely different from those of her peers.

If you change to the original owner, what will the original owner do?
I will definitely compromise and bear the burden of supporting my family on my thin shoulders.

Unfortunately, she is not the original owner.

"I have two months of vacation after the exam, and I want to find a job."

Before the ecstasy on Li Yan's face was completely revealed, Qiao Wei threw out the next sentence lightly.

"Two months' salary, if you work hard, you should be able to save 5000 yuan, which is enough to pay the tuition and miscellaneous fees for the first semester of senior high school and the book fees for your younger brother, and maybe there is a little left over."

Qiao Wei looked up and smiled a little shyly.

"I've done the math. Senior high school has half a day off on Sunday, and there are two days off each month. I can find a part-time job to distribute leaflets or something, and I can save 500 yuan a month. If our siblings If you can save a little on food, it’s almost enough to live on.”

The future life she described vividly did not impress Li Yan too much.

Hearing her last words, Li Yan's slight guilt and emotion disappeared immediately.

"Your brother is still growing, how can he save money on food?!"

As soon as the words came out, both mother and daughter froze for a moment.

Although Xiao Luojin was slender, she was not short. She was half a head taller than Qiao Wei, who was five years older than him.

Qiao Wei really wanted to ask, isn't she just growing up?

But in the end she just smiled and said calmly: "The scholarship from No. [-] Middle School is very generous...I will try to win it, and use the extra money to supplement my brother's health."

This is her brother.

When Xiao Luojin's furry head was arched in her arms last night, it touched her deep desire for family affection. She also hoped that Xiao Luojin's life would be smooth sailing, and she would stop eating his sister. Had a hard time.

Li Yan is undoubtedly a good mother.

She wasted her whole life for her children, never thinking about herself.

But at the same time, she is also an eccentric mother, just like most mothers in the world.

In front of outsiders, in order to protect her children, she is willing to give everything.

And once the interests of her daughter and son conflict, she will sacrifice her daughter without hesitation and of course.

Qiao Wei doesn't want to be the one who was abandoned anymore.

She had had enough of being ignored, sacrificed, used and abandoned.

This time, she wanted to do what she wanted to do.

She wants to live like a normal person.

"On your grades..."

Li Yan knew that her daughter's grades were not good.She muttered something, shook her head, and didn't go on.

Forget it.

Maybe as soon as the results of the high school entrance examination come out, the daughter will know how ridiculous her idea is, and maybe she can compromise.

Qiao Wei chose the dishes, turned on the faucet to wash her hands, and dried them casually on the rag, "I'm going to see my brother."

Xiao Luojin's bedroom door was locked, Qiao Wei knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside.

"Luo Jin?" she called out.

There was a faint sound of moving chairs in the room, but the wooden door was still closed tightly.

Qiao Wei knocked on the door again and asked, "What's wrong?"

The door was slowly opened a crack.

Qiao Wei took the opportunity to reach out and grab the door frame, and squeezed into the room with a smile.

Luo Jin's room was a little bigger than hers. There were two old bedside tables and a small desk beside the bed.

At this moment, sheets of crumpled toilet paper were thrown randomly on the desk, and water stains could be faintly seen on the paper.

Qiao Wei looked at Xiao Luojin.

His eye circles were red, and his nose was also red, like a wronged little white rabbit.

Qiao Wei closed the door subconsciously, and asked, "What's wrong, who bullied you?"

"you."

Xiao Luojin replied in a muffled voice.

Qiao Wei was amused by him and laughed, "Me?"

Xiao Luojin nodded with a straight face.

"Okay, then tell me, why did my sister bully you?"

"You want Mommy to divorce Dad!"

Xiao Luojin's answer surprised Qiao Wei.

"Do you think it would be better to continue with our family's situation?"

Xiao Luojin remained silent, staring at her stubbornly, as if staring at a third party who broke up her family.

"Let me ask you, you ask yourself, is daddy treating you well?"

"..."

Xiao Luojin lowered her head and looked at the tip of her shoe.

He just wanted to say yes, but he couldn't say it.

Dad had rarely been home since he could remember.

But, but...

"Dad used to bring me candies." He replied in a muffled voice. "That was when I was very young, I still remember, I wanted a daddy, I wanted a daddy who would bring me candy back! I don't want to be a poor kid without a daddy!"

Qiao Wei interrupted his obsession with a sneer.

"So what now? Do you think you won't be pitiful if you have a father?"
