Song Yan rolled her eyes and immediately said, “Daughter, you know our family’s situation. Most of your father’s monthly salary is given to your grandmother. Our family doesn’t have money.”
Xia Ru pursed her lips. She could tell that even her mother was not willing to spend money on this occasion.
Even if she gave her grandmother her monthly salary, she would not give her money at the critical moment.
Xia Ru’s heart was cold. She felt that there was no humanity in this family at all. They were a group of selfish demons.
Although she thought so, Xia Ru did not show it. She still needed this family and had to restrain her emotions.
“Mom, what do you think we should do now? I really want to go out and earn money. I also want you and Dad to live a good life.”Xia Ru pretended to be sincere.
Song Yan frowned and pondered. Suddenly, she clapped her hands and thought of a good idea.
Song Yan said excitedly, ” Although we don’t know which factory Xia Wan is helping to recruit workers from, we know now that the factory is located in the south. Then, you can go there too. When the time comes, you can ask around, and you’ll definitely find out.”
Xia Ru looked at Song Yan in disbelief. “Mom, are you saying that I should go there alone?”
Song Yan asked, “Of course. Is there a problem? Didn’t you go to Beijing alone to find Lu Lin? Since you could go to Beijing, why can’t you go to the south?”
Xia Ru was so angry that she wanted to laugh. This was her mother’s good idea to let her go to the south alone to find the so-called factory.
It was fine if she found it, but what if she couldn’t? She did not know anyone from the south and would be alone.
Previously, she dared to look for Lu Lin because he had given her the address of the Lu family’s old residence. Moreover, the capital was not very far from them.
However, the Southern accent was very different from hers. She had heard that there were people from all kinds of cities there, and with that came chaos and a whole lot of deception and malice.
“Mom, what if I go to the south and get cheated and can’t come back?” Xia Ru asked Song Yan.
Song Yan avoided her gaze. “My Xia Ru is so smart. How could she get cheated?”
Xia Ru snorted coldly and pulled Song Yan’s arm. “Then, Mom, come with me to the south. When I find a factory that can work, I’ll go to work, and you can come back. How about that?”
Song Yan retorted without thinking, “That won’t do. If I leave with you, who will do the ch.o.r.es at home? Your father has to work. What will he eat when he gets home?”
Xia Ru sneered. In Song Yan’s heart, her father, Xia Jiang, could not eat without someone to take care of him. On the other hand, she, as a daughter, was willing to work alone in such a faraway place.
“Mom, let me think about it a little more.” Xia Ru closed her eyes, not wanting to look at Song Yan anymore.
She felt a little tired. This family put her in despair, and she was dying to escape.
After Song Yan left, the room was quiet. Only Xia Ru was left.
She calmly thought about what had happened before and felt that she had to find a way out for herself.
Now, whether it was Li Jin or Song Yan, they supported her to work in the
factory in the south because they wanted her money.
Song Yan intended to let her go to the South alone and not care about her life at all. Since that was the case, why should she care about the two of them? She could go to the South and work hard. All the money she earned would be her own. She did not want to contact anyone.
Thinking of this, Xia Ru’s eyes became more determined. She did not want to be compared to Xia Wan anymore.
Early the next morning, Xia Ru was very active. She took the initiative to help her family cook, went to the mountain to cut wood, and helped feed the pigs.
Li Jin and Song Yan only thought that she wanted to prove herself so that everyone would agree to let her work in the southern factory. The two of them didn’t care much about it.
Therefore, when Xia Ru suggested going out to the county town to buy some things for her family, Li Jin generously gave her money.
Looking at the ten yuan Li Jin gave her, Xia Ru said, ‘Grandma, ten yuan isn’t enough. I plan to reason with Xia Wan when I get to town. In order to show my sincerity, I should buy her more stuff.. What if I manage to move her, and she decides to help me?”
