Chapter 110 Don't treat me like a saint
Ren Tian heard the gentle voice, looked up, saw Yuan Xi under the street light, clenched her hands and said, "I don't have money to buy noodles."
Yuan Xi: "Didn't you come to Michen to work for two days? You still have a salary, which is enough for you to have a bowl of noodles."
Yuan Xi asked Chen Yuan and Liang Suisui to help take Shi Huo to continue playing.
Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan took Ren Tian to a noodle shop not far away.
There was a pajama shop next to the noodle shop. Yuan Xi took Ren Tian to the pajama shop and changed into clean clothes.
The noodle shop is doing pretty good business.
It was almost half past seven, and there were still a few tables of guests eating noodles.
Ren Tian looked at the prices on the menu of the noodle shop. She frowned and ordered a bowl of the most expensive beef noodles. "This is the first time I've eaten noodles at 58 yuan a bowl, and it may be the last time I'll eat it."
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the noodles came.
Ren Tian burst into tears after taking a bite of noodles. "It's so disgusting. I didn't expect my last meal would be so disgusting. I hate Jiangcheng. There's nothing good to eat in Jiangcheng. I've had enough of Jiangcheng's disgusting noodles. How can braised beef noodles be sweet?"
The noodle shop owner frowned and said, "My shop is a famous noodle shop on the Internet. Many people come from City A to eat here. How can it be bad?"
"It just tastes bad. Whose braised beef is sweet? Only you people in Jiangcheng like to eat sweet beef, wuwuwu!"
Ren Tian lay on the table and cried, "I can't even have a good meal for my last meal!"
Qin Lang said, "There is a rice noodle shop over here, opened by someone from Chen County. You might like it."
Yuan Xi said to Ren Tian: "Let's go to the rice noodle shop next door."
There was no air conditioning in the rice noodle shop. The greasy ceiling fan was squeaking as the couple, the boss, spoke in their hometown dialect.
Ren Tian also said in her hometown dialect: "Fungus fungus and shredded pork rice noodles."
When the boss saw that it was a fellow villager, he said, "This area is going to be demolished. It's hard to see people from Chen City these days."
Ren Tian said: "I'm not from Chen City, I'm from Nanxiang next door to you."
When Yuan Xi heard the word Nanxiang, he felt familiar with it. "Are you from Nanxiang too?"
Ren Tian sniffed and nodded. She saw the boss brought out a full bowl of rice noodles with black fungus and shredded pork. She ate while crying and wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
Yuan Xi saw Ren Tian eating rice noodles in big mouthfuls. She took a bottle of iced Coke from the refrigerator. She opened the Coke and took a sip and said, "There are still many delicious things in this world. There is no need to commit suicide. There is no hurdle in life that cannot be overcome."
"You just said that my diamond ring is worth dozens of lifetimes of your efforts, which is indeed true.
But I also had times of poverty. When I was a freshman in college, my parents passed away and I lost everything.
When I was the poorest, I had no food to eat. Whenever I had free time, I would work in a milk tea shop to earn some money, but it was far from enough to cover the tuition and other expenses. The water in the winter was so cold that my hands were covered with frostbite.
When I was poor, I lived in the company, ate the cheapest noodles in Shaxian for a whole month, and washed and brushed my teeth in the company, but I managed to survive..."
Ren Tian looked at Yuan Xi, "What kind of poverty is that? Yuan Xi, you don't even know what real poor people are like."
Ren Tian said bitterly: "When I was five years old, my father and my grandmother disliked me because I was a girl. My father found a new wife while working away from home. She got pregnant with a son and insisted on divorcing my mother.
My mother hates me. She hated me because I am a girl, which is why she divorced me. My mother abandoned me.
The first time I ate rice noodles was when my mother abandoned me, and a kind aunt treated me to a bowl of rice noodles with black fungus and shredded pork.
Later, the police helped me find my mother and warned her that she would go to jail for abandonment. My mother scolded me and asked me why I had to remember her name and her phone number?
In order to make my mother keep me, I started to help her with housework when I was six years old. I did all the housework at home."
"Later, my mother got married. She married my stepfather who was a gambler and lazy. My mother hated me even more! Because if I hadn't been a burden as a daughter, my father wouldn't have divorced my mother, and she wouldn't have married such a bad woman the second time!"
Ren Tian looked at Yuan Xi. "My mother asked me to go out to work after I graduated from junior high school. How envious was I of the job in the milk tea shop that you disliked? Because I was young, no milk tea shop was willing to hire me, so I could only work in an illegal factory. But I was still cheated. I didn't send money back to my mother that month, and I had no money to survive.
The factory that provided food and accommodation required applicants to be 18 years old or older. I was only 16 at the time. When I asked my mother for money, she scolded me as a useless waste. I didn’t send any money back and yet I still wanted money. I might as well die.”
Ren Tian said: "I was walking aimlessly at the time, and looking at those parents in Jiangcheng who loved their daughters, I realized that there are still people in this world who raise daughters in wealth. It turns out that girls can also be the most important treasures in the family, not despised or a burden."
"I had attempted suicide once before, and I met Fu Yi who wanted to commit suicide with me."
Ren Tian ate a mouthful of noodles while crying, "After Fu Yi saw me, he asked me what I wanted to do in my next life, and I said I wanted to be a rich man.
Fu Yi said that he didn't want to die anymore, and asked me to follow him to his rental house and work with him. I knew that Fu Yi would always peek into Chu Yan's life, and I was so envious of Chu Yan's life at that time.
Fu Yi said he could also make me a rich man's wife. He would rent a car for me, so that I could meet a rich man through a car accident, and then fall in love with him. With my looks, I could become his wife. "
Ren Tian said: "But I crashed into it three times. Once it was driven by an experienced driver, once it was a second-generation factory worker, and once it was Gu Hanchen, the one with a mental disorder!"
Yuan Xi laughed awkwardly when he heard this, "Fu Yi and Chu Yan went back to the Fu family. You have been with Fu Yi for so many years, and he didn't give you any money?"
Ren Tian said: "Yes, they gave me 500,000 yuan. You know, this 500,000 yuan is enough for a down payment in Jiangcheng, so I plan to go back to my hometown, Nanxiang, and I met my stepfather in Nanxiang!"
Ren Tian sighed, "My stepfather is Yu Fu. He originally thought Chu Yan was his biological daughter, so he went to Chu Yan and the Bo family to ask for money. The Bo family initially agreed to give him the money, but later Chu Yan and the Bo family divorced, and the money the Bo family promised was not given to him.
Yu Fu forced me to give him 50 yuan, otherwise he would kill me. My mother also accepted a betrothal gift of 8 yuan from an old bachelor in the village to marry me. They took away my ID card and everything else.
I managed to escape, sold my cell phone and bought an old one instead. With the 500 yuan I earned from selling the phone, I took a bus to Jiangcheng. But when I arrived in Jiangcheng, I still couldn't survive. I didn't have an ID card and no factory was willing to hire me.
Besides, I only graduated from junior high school. Now many factories in Jiangcheng need at least a technical secondary school degree. Even those milk tea shops don’t want me. I’m not even qualified to be a waiter…”
Yuan Xi said: "You can get a new ID card. You look to be in your early twenties, right?"
Ren Tian said: "I'm twenty-one years old."
Yuan Xi sighed and said, "I can sponsor you to continue studying in a private high school. Three years later, you can continue to take the college entrance examination..."
Ren Tian raised her eyes and looked at Yuan Xi, "You funded my studies, but I may not be able to give you anything in return!"
Yuan Xi said: "Just think of it as me saving up blessings for the baby in my belly. I will help you arrange a brand new identity, an identity that your family will not know about you. In the future, just say goodbye to Ren Tian and study hard. It doesn't have to be a dead end."
Ren Tian shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to owe you anything. I haven't studied for many years. Even when I was in junior high school, I was always asked to do farm work and often asked for leave. If you want me to study again, I simply can't concentrate."
Yuan Xi said: "But..."
Ren Tian looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Don't be so naive to me! I don't need your help! Don't meddle in my business."
Ren Tian put down the chopsticks in his hand heavily.
Huo Shiyan frowned and looked at Ren Tian, then said to Yuan Xi, "Don't worry about her, let's go."
Yuan Xi stood up and said to the rice noodle shop owner: "How much cash do you have? Can I exchange some with you?"
"About six thousand dollars."
After Yuan Xi exchanged the cash, he placed it in front of Ren Tian and said, "I'm not being a saint, but I think no one can watch a 21-year-old girl commit suicide and remain indifferent.
Here is 6,000 yuan in cash. If you choose to live, this 6,000 yuan will be enough for you to find a job. If you still choose to leave this world, you can donate this 6,000 yuan.
Ren Tian, I still say that being alive is more important than anything else. Your name is Ren Tian, keep living, and you will find that life will eventually be sweet. "
Ren Tian smiled bitterly: "No, my original name is Meng Zhaodi, and later I was called Yu Duoping, which means an extra burden. Ren Tian was the name Fu Yi gave me."
"But now Fu Yi has Chu Yan, and he doesn't want me anymore."
