There was a slight drizzle. When she walked happily to the entrance of the alley, she hesitated for a moment. She stood under the eaves of someone else and looked at the silver silk-like rain. Her hair was a little yellow, just enough to reach her shoulders. Her bangs were a little longer, covering her eyelashes, which made her eyes misty. "How is this good? How can I go back to school in the afternoon if my clothes are wet? I haven't had time to wash the clothes I changed yesterday in my apartment..." She looked down at her shoes and finally gritted her teeth. She raised her schoolbag above her head and ran to the house in the depths of the alley.
Pushing open the rusty door, he immediately heard his stepmother, Huang Shujuan, shout in a scary voice in the room, "Drink, drink, drink. Sooner or later, I will drink you to death, and see who will send you to your end!"
Huan Yan's heart ached. She lowered her head and stepped back to her room, but was seen by the little girl brought by Huang Shujuan. She immediately rushed out to stand in front of her and shouted arrogantly, "Xu Huanyan, don't you want to do housework and hide from leisure?"
Huan Yan had no choice but to stop. She lowered her head and muttered, "Mom, Dad."
Huang Shujuan rolled her eyes at her and put the dishes on the table one by one from the kitchen. "Can't you come and help me? It's really a waste of money."
"I have the living expenses for the family." Huan Yan looked at her with some anger. She had given the family 1,000 yuan every month, but she had not eaten the food made by her stepmother several times.
Bang! Huang Shujuan slammed the bowl of rice in her hand, and her eyes widened in horror. "Do you know how much the price has increased? Do you know how much the meat costs one kilogram, and how much the fish costs? What about the cost of water and gas? You go home every day to boil water, wash your clothes and hair, and buy the money for the school uniform? You can settle accounts with me, but I haven't settled with you yet."
Huan Yan frowned more tightly. She looked at her father, who was drunk, with grievance, and finally took a step back. "I didn't eat much. I've always saved water..."
"Save it? Don't laugh at Xu Huanyan. I've been married for eight years, and I don't know how much money I have paid for my dowry. I won't beat around the bush with you today..." Huang Shujuan pulled a chair to sit down. Her daughter, Xu Miyang, came out of the room and glared at her. "Did you make me angry again? It's really annoying!"
"You should graduate next year. You're old and your neighbors are all gossiping about you. It's time for you to get engaged. Auntie Wang next door will be your matchmaker. She's the boss of a small computer company. She's only in her forties this year. She just lost her wife. When you get married, even the boss's wife will be considered to be of high social status. It's not a big deal to wear gold and silver. She can also help your sister find a good job and marry a good family..."
"If that's the case, why don't you let Moyang marry her? I already have a boyfriend." When she heard this, she couldn't help but feel her blood boil. Being a matchmaker wasn't just to make her sell for a good price!
"How old is Mi Yang? How can we, Mi Yang, continue to string?" Hearing this, Huang Shujuan immediately jumped up like a chicken with its feathers standing on end and pointed at her nose and scolded!
"Xu Huanyan, what right do you have to do this to me? You want me to marry a bald little boss? You're so dark!" Xu Miyang pointed at his nose in a strange way and shouted behind Huang Shujuan!
"I can't do it. Why do I have to do it? I don't want to marry the bald old man. Why do I have to marry him? If your daughter marries him, you can control me!" She raised her head with an unconvinced look, and her whole face turned red with anger. She couldn't help clenching her fists. She didn't want to get married! She still had a family!
