His Royal Highness's Favorite: The Queen's Road

Chapter 24 Can't Support That Sky (2)

Celery was wearing a dusty white dress, crying hysterically, dizzy, ignoring hope, and walked out of the big iron gate of the crematorium.

Celery staggered on the sidewalk, howling "8 yuan of life, those who killed a thousand dollars,"

The neighbors in Hua'er Town looked at their mother and daughter sadly.

So, Xi Ji followed behind Celery, and wept bitterly.

She was crying because Celery was so drunk that she took the wrong way home, and they didn't even have money in their pockets to ride Xiaobengbeng home.

Ten years later, Celery still hasn't recovered from that drunk.

And hope still can't support that sky.

The mother and daughter's time seems to have been stuck in that starry winter night.

The surroundings were still pitch-black, and the whole world had only that one meteor passing by. For a moment, the meteor cut a golden wound on the dark blue sky wall; for a moment, it fell so hard and hurt so much.

The 8 yuan in compensation from the real estate developer was taken by grandma's house not long after.

After Xi’s father passed away, Xiji and Celery were no longer welcome at grandma’s house—the next Spring Festival, Celery took her daughter to the New Year with a lot of fruit. Grandma waved her hands like a hockey player in front of her uncle and aunt. The broom slapped Celery on the bridge of her nose, bleeding all over her face.

In fact, Xiji was very grateful to Uncle Sheng for paying her tuition, which was a lot of money after all.

And Uncle Sheng is just a construction contractor.

Although he wore a thick gold chain on his ankle, he looked like an upstart.

But for ten years, he still cared about celery.

He didn't marry Celery and became her stepfather, which made Yi Qinqin very unwilling.

Celery wanted to force Uncle Sheng to get married, but of course he refused. When it came to the issue of principles and children, the two adults played with knives and guns like children, beating each other to the death.Divide and reconcile countless times, and often after a fight, he will coax Celery to nowhere with a few sweet words.

Xiji also persuaded Celery, but Celery didn't listen at all.

Not long after Xiji's college entrance examination, Qincai forced Uncle Sheng to go to get a certificate. At that time, he beat Qincai until he was bruised all over his body. Xiji was frightened and ran to stop him. This money-losing product, are you fucking on your nose?"

That night, Xi Ji hugged her under Celery's blanket.

Celery cried miserably, and swore to the lamp that she would leave the upstart.

As a result, the night before yesterday, Xi Ji came back from Yinda, just got off the train and rushed back to Hua'er Town, and saw Uncle Sheng come again as soon as he entered the door.

Sitting at the dinner table, he poured himself a drink, raised his tune, and said, "Hope, how is your reading? How's your singing? Learning art is a big investment. Don't be blind. I'll give it to you." You spent 10 yuan."

Xi Ji thought, I did spend his money, but how could he always talk about 10 yuan?

So far, Xiji still doesn't know why Uncle Sheng spent 10 yuan for her to study, but he drove a second-hand car himself.

Is it for the sake of both kindness and power, or to use money and kindness as a means to manipulate celery?
The house was not big, and when she smelled the wine in the small living room, Xi Ji's chest seemed to be blocked by something, she looked sideways at Celery and served him tea and water spinelessly, she got up and said, "Mom, I'm going out."

In fact, I hope to know Celery's difficulties. It is very difficult for a 40-year-old woman to drag a bottle of oil, trying to marry a high-quality man who has a few stinky money and is not coquettish, so I hope that I will do it without even making excuses. Going out, can't afford to provoke or hide?
Obasan on the first floor saw her running downstairs and the second-hand Regal outside the door, narrowed his eyes maliciously, and asked with a smile, "Xi Ji, go out and play, where's your mother?"

"Oh, go to the Internet cafe."

"Are there any guests at home, what are you doing?"

"Make a revolution."

"..."

Obasan's expression seemed to have swallowed a snake.

Xi Ji walked up to the second-hand Regal and kicked the tire hard.
