Chapter 504 Poor Mom and Rich Mom
At first, Zhou Xiaotao thought that what Sang Feiwan said was weird.
But for some reason, those strange words seemed to carry some kind of mysterious power in his ears, causing his consciousness to gradually fall into confusion.
In his confusion, he forgot his own identity, the conflict between him and Zhou Yalan, and every detail of his growth over the past decade.
He only remembered that his name was Sun Tao and his father's name was Sun Wa, who was a bricklayer. Whenever anyone in the village wanted to build a new house, they would ask him to do the work.
His mother, Zhang Mei, was an ordinary village woman.
His mother is gentle and his father is kind. They have been by his side since he was a child, giving Sun Tao a happy childhood and complete family love.
Like other children in the village, Sun Tao finished primary school and went to junior high school. Sometimes he got bored with studying and acted naughty.
But most of the time, he yearns for the big city. He wants to stand out. He wants to leave the countryside and go to a wider world to see the prosperity of the world.
When he was in junior high school, he had excellent grades and was successfully admitted to a key high school in the city.
My father was too happy and drank a few more glasses of wine. The next day, he was called to work before the hangover had worn off.
I don’t know if it was because he drank too much the night before, but the man accidentally fell from the second floor while building a wall and injured his spine. Not to mention working to support his family, he even had difficulty taking care of himself.
The pillar of the family fell. The usually gentle mother wiped her tears and said to her son: "Study hard and don't worry about money. Mom is still young and can still go out to work. You have to listen to grandma and dad."
How can a woman who has never left the countryside in her life and has no education find a decent job?
Zhang Mei was introduced by a fellow villager to work as a nanny in a domestic service company. Later, she was chosen by a wealthy family and became a live-in nanny, responsible for taking care of the employer's children.
Sun Tao knew that his mother left her hometown and worked as a nanny just to support him.
So he studied harder.
The key high school was full of top students, and Sun Tao seemed ordinary among them. Even if he tried his best to study, he could only barely make it to the middle level.
The high school life passed in a flash, and the college entrance examination results were announced.
Due to a few points difference, he failed to get into his ideal 985 university and could only barely enter a third-tier college.
After entering university, he realized more deeply that there is always someone better than you.
Rich students can wear all branded clothes, take taxis when they go out, or be picked up by their family’s private cars.
These poor students have to try to save as much as possible even when eating in the cafeteria to avoid overspending on living expenses.
Although his mother earned a good income as a nanny, every time she gave him living expenses, she would always remind him:
"Try to save some money. Your father is in poor health, and the medical expenses are a big expense every month. You are a boy, and you will get married in a few years. Mom wants to save some money for you..."
Every time he listened in silence. Life was like a mountain that bent his mother's back and crushed his spirit.
One summer vacation, he went to visit his mother where she worked.
He saw the luxurious three-story villa of his mother's employer, which looked like a palace.
The employer’s child…the boy who was only six or seven years old, the pair of shoes on his feet was his living expenses for several months.
His mother was very happy to see him and took out a high-end dessert from the refrigerator for him to eat.
It was a cream cake, soft and delicious, especially the cream inside, which was sweet but not greasy, and completely different from the cream cakes he had eaten before.
My mother told me that a small piece of this cake costs hundreds of yuan, but the young master likes it, so she often buys it for him. She only bought an extra piece when she knew her son was coming.
But before he could savor it, the sound of a car was heard outside.
The mother said in panic, "It's the wife who's back. She doesn't like outsiders coming to the house. Go out through the back door quickly. I'll come to see you later."
He was afraid of losing his mother's job, so he ran out the back door in a panic.
When he turned around, he saw through the window the woman wearing high-end fashion and exquisite makeup standing under the huge crystal chandelier in the living room. She was so noble that she seemed like she was from a different world from him.
Standing next to his mother, the contrast is even more striking:
A bright and beautiful person said something in a bossy manner.
The other one was servile and kept smiling throughout the whole process.
At that moment, he realized the gap between people. It turned out that there was really no equality in this world. It turned out that the gap between classes was so huge!
He even had a ridiculous idea in his mind: How nice it would be if my mother was a noble lady in the villa. Then she wouldn't have to bow and scrape to serve her employer, and she wouldn't have to push her son, whom she hadn't seen for a year, out of the villa.
A few years later, he finally graduated from college.
From school to society is not a promotion, but a step into another crueler world.
When he first graduated, he went to almost every job market in the city.
I sent out hundreds of resumes, but received only a few responses.
Without a job he liked, he had to settle for a lower standard.
Finally, he joined an insurance company and became an insurance salesman, earning a meager salary and doing hard but boring work day after day.
One day, he stood in front of the mirror and suddenly found that a few white hairs had grown on his temples.
His mother also began to urge him on the phone, saying that he was almost 30 and it was time to find a girlfriend and get married.
A girlfriend... He also wants to find one, but he has no money, no career, and his father is paralyzed due to long-term medication. Which girl would be interested in him?
One night, when he was running desperately on the road to catch the last bus, sweating all over but still unable to catch it, a Porsche slowly stopped beside him.
"Sun Tao, it's really you!"
When he turned around, he saw that the person sitting in the Porsche was his college classmate: Liu Chen.
"Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
Sitting in the luxurious Porsche, Sun Tao said enviously: "I've only graduated for a few years and I'm already driving a Porsche. This car is quite expensive, right?"
Liu Chen smiled and said, "It's only about one million yuan. My mother bought it for me."
"Of course, you are worthy of being the richest in our class. Such conditions are really enviable."
We arrived at our destination while chatting and laughing.
Liu Chen waved to him, and the Porsche disappeared around the corner of the road with a roar.
The smile on Sun Tao's face gradually faded.
When they were in school, Liu Chen was inferior to him in every aspect. But after entering the society, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
Even though they were both wearing black suits, Liu Chen's suit was well-tailored and exquisitely made, and he looked like a social elite at first glance.
And what about him?
He looked down at his wrinkled, gray clothes, which were the standard attire of a salesperson.
At that moment, the scene of him standing at the back door of the villa many years ago emerged in his mind again.
My mother's employer, the lady who wore high-end fashion and even a silk scarf cost a fortune...
How nice it would be if that noble lady was his mother...
