Chapter 2 Husband and wife are birds of the same forest

"See if I can wake you up!" The cowardice in Cui Changjia's eyes was gone, and now there was calmness, coldness, and determination. "He is just a scumbag. Do you think he is really a savior? Go back to school tomorrow. If you don't get into Peking University or Tsinghua University, I will break your dog legs!"

Cui Changle is really smart. It seems that all the brains of the Cui family were given to her. From childhood to adulthood, whenever there was an exam, she would easily get the first place, or she would get much more points than the second place.

After entering high school, she never ranked second in the exams and won many awards in various competitions. However, due to family reasons, she has not been to school since her father Cui Wenquan was admitted to the ICU.

"But……"

"Changle," Cui Changjia stopped and looked at her sister who was taller than her, serious and earnest, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if Dad woke up and found out about this if you did this?"

Cui Changle's face suddenly turned pale. If his father knew... Cui Changle didn't dare to think about it!
In her previous life, Cui Changle followed Fang Pengcheng without telling anyone, but Fang Pengcheng didn't treat Cui Changle as a human being at all. He didn't give the Cui family a penny, and imprisoned the 17-year-old Changle in a villa. He took his business partners to humiliate her every day. Soon, the scandal of Cui Changle, the second daughter of Cui Wenquan, was reported to be kept by someone.

After Cui Wenquan was released from the ICU, he didn't believe it at all. He asked Cui Chengze to take him to the villa, where he suffered another cerebral hemorrhage on the spot. This time he never woke up again.

What about Cui Changle? After she learned the truth and the news of her father's death, she immediately jumped down from the building. Cui's mother Jiang Hongying could no longer bear the blow and fell ill. From then on, the Cui family fell apart, and in this world, the family could no longer be together!

When passing by the fruit stall in the community, Cui Changjia bought two duck pears. Cui Changle followed behind her sister with a pale face. She was only thinking about how to get some money to pay for her father's medical expenses, but never thought about the future. If her sister had not arrived in time, what situation would she be in now?
Cui Changjia handed the pear to the proprietress.

"Just two pears?" asked the stall owner.

"Yes, just two."

The proprietress weighed it for her unhappily, "One dollar and sixty cents."

Cui Changjia picked out a smaller pear and handed it over, "Change to a smaller one, and make up one dollar and fifty cents."

The proprietress handed over the bag of pears and said impatiently, "Forget it, give me one dollar and fifty cents."

Cui Changjia said nothing, and motioned Cui Changle to pay. After paying, she replaced the big pear in the bag with a small one.

My father often said that when doing things in life, it doesn’t matter if you suffer losses yourself, but you should not let others suffer losses.

For many years afterwards, Cui Changjia often thought of these words. She couldn't understand why such a kind father would suffer such a disaster?
It was not until her rebirth that she finally woke up. In that period novel, the author could arrange their life paths at will. But now, she didn't care about being the child of luck or having a good life as recognized by others. This time, she must change the fate of her family!
That night, a big fire burned half of the sky over the state capital red.

The fire brigade worked non-stop for two days before finally putting out the fire.

It was Cui's furniture store that was burned.

Cui's father, Cui Wenquan, came to the state capital to work hard in the 1980s. He started out as a carpenter wandering the streets and later opened a furniture processing factory, a furniture store, and then a furniture mall. For more than ten years, everything went smoothly. However, the fire not only burned down Cui's family's assets worth tens of millions, but also burned down the family's foundation.

To make matters worse, Cui Wenquan’s eldest son Cui Xiuyuan was seriously injured in the fire. Not long after, under the heavy pressure and overworked, Cui Wenquan was admitted to the ICU due to cerebral hemorrhage and has not woken up since.

The bank seized all the fixed assets under the name of the Cui family, except for this old house, which was not taken away because it had limited property rights. Otherwise, the Cui family would have no place to live.

Cui Changjia and her sister had just walked out when they heard voices of discussion behind them.

"Hey, those are the two girls of Cui Wenquan."

"Cui Wenquan's eldest son was discharged from the hospital two days ago. He was carried out of the car. I heard that he was badly burned and his skin was all over."

"What sin did the Cui family commit? Such a huge family business collapsed just like that."

"Who knows? Cui Wenquan hasn't woken up yet in the hospital, and we don't know if he will ever wake up."

"The little girl in the Cui family has excellent academic performance, but the older one is not so good. She is not good at anything and is a complete idiot. I heard that she got a job and was kicked out after working for only half a day."

... Cui Changle came back to his senses when he heard other people's unbearable discussions. He turned around and glared angrily at the group of women who were gossiping, and then they stopped talking.

This old house was bought by Cui Wenquan and his wife when they first came to the state capital in the 80s. It is a -square-meter old house with a small courtyard of about square meters on the first floor. It is cold in winter and humid in summer. The odor is particularly severe on cloudy and rainy days.

Later, when they became rich, they didn't deal with it. It wasn't worth much money, but it was just a thought.

One day, Cui Wenquan had an inspiration to renovate the old house. He laid the floor, painted the walls, and made it waterproof. He also turned the small courtyard of about ten square meters at the back into a sunroom. When he had free time, he would bring Jiang Hongying to the sunroom to drink tea and reminisce about the good and bad times.

Now the whole family is huddled here, and the two small bedrooms are too small to accommodate everyone, so they have to put away the tea table in the sunroom and hang up curtains to live in.

Who could have thought that this old house would eventually become their home?
The door of the old house has two layers, the inside is made of wood, and the outside is an old-fashioned iron security door. The security door of the house is closed and the wooden door is half-open. The old house is not soundproof, so people talking inside can be heard clearly outside.

Jiang Hongying said in a hoarse voice, "Jin Yao, Xiaobao is still young, and I really can't leave you. I won't leave Xiuyuan, and you can't leave for Xiaobao's sake."

Jiang Hongying is Cui Changjia's mother. After Cui's father fell ill, Cui Xiuyuan was hospitalized. She supported him both at home and outside. She refused to go to the hospital for an injection even when she had a high fever, and endured it at home by herself.

"Mom, I'm not cruel, but do you think our family still looks like a home? Let's not talk about the housing problem. Up to now, our family still owes more than two million yuan in debt. When can it be repaid?" Wu Jinyao was not humane at all. "I can take Xiaobao away. You can take him back whenever you want. I won't stop you."

Wu Jinyao and Cui Xiuyuan have been married for almost five years and have a son who is over four years old. His full name is Cui Haoran and his nickname is Xiaobao.

Wu Jinyao has always been a humble and pleasing daughter-in-law, but she suddenly changed after the incident.

Sister Cui Changjia heard her mother Jiang Hongying continue to say in a low voice, "Jin Yao, how can you leave? Xiuyuan needs you right now. You and Xiuyuan have been together for so many years."

"Don't play the emotional card at this time," Wu Jinyao said mercilessly, "If emotions were useful, you wouldn't be forced to pay back debts when something goes wrong."

Jiang Hongying's body was shaking with anger, but he didn't dare to say anything harsh to Wu Jinyao.

"Mom!" Cui Changjia raised his head outside and then pushed the door open.

Jiang Hongying was blocking the door, preventing Wu Jinyao from leaving. When Cui Changjia pushed the door, Jiang Hongying instinctively moved aside. Wu Jinyao grabbed her luggage and was about to squeeze out, but was stopped by Cui Changjia.

"Sister-in-law, why are you in such a hurry?" Cui Changjia called Wu Jinyao, "If you really want to leave, can we keep you?"

"Changjia!" Jiang Hongying shouted hoarsely at Cui Changjia, "What are you talking about!"

Cui Changjia looked at Jiang Hongying and his eyes suddenly turned red. Then he murmured, "Mom".

The woman who had loved her all her life eventually died in the cold winter. At that time, she couldn't even afford to buy a better urn.

Jiang Hongying glared at her and said, "You have nothing to do here!"

Cui Changjia didn't listen. He asked Cui Changle to block the door. He pushed Jiang Hongying into the bedroom and locked the door from the outside.

Jiang Hongying banged on the door from inside, "Cui Changjia, what are you doing?"

"Mom," Cui Changjia called out softly, "A forced melon is not sweet."

Jiang Hongying yelled, "With your father gone, I can't let this family break up!"

Cui Changjia was silent, "Mom, I can keep the person but not his heart, please don't do this!"

There was no sound inside.
