Hear the sound of flowers blooming in my heart

Aunt Fat said mysteriously: "Silly child, you don't know, Xiao Yiye's mother is not clean."

Xia Xiyue was surprised: "Why is it not clean?"

Aunt Fang patted her thigh and said seriously, "His mother has never been married, but she has had countless boyfriends."

Xia Xiyue felt suffocated. She had thought of many possibilities, but never this one.

Xia Xiyue opened her thin lips slightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Suddenly, she felt that Xiao Lingling and her mother Liu Rumei were really similar in some aspects, both of them could not live without men.

Aunt Fang continued gossiping, "Your cousin, Xiao Yiye, doesn't even know who his father is. Xiao Lingling herself doesn't know either. Isn't that funny? There are so many men messing around, and you don't even know who the father of the child is."

Aunt Fat: "Your cousin, Xiao Ermei, also doesn't know who her father is. She was born with defects. Both children don't know their father's surname, so they can only take Xiao Lingling's surname. These two children are also miserable. They have such a mother who doesn't care about them and needs Xiao Yiye to make money to support them. They just wander around by themselves all day. They haven't been home these few days. They must have gone out to fool around again."

Aunt Fang: "Why is your life so miserable? That Xiao Yiye is not a good guy either. He hangs around all day long. He has led our Luo Yanze astray and he just plays all day long."

Auntie Fat: "Xiao Yiye's child is not bad, right? Last time, Xiao Dengzi's wife almost had a miscarriage, and it was Yiye's child who was sent to the hospital. The doctor said that if they had sent it later, the child and the adults would not have been able to save it."

Aunt Fang: "What? Haven't you heard that some people said that Xiao Yiye sent Xiao Dengzi's wife to the hospital because he had an affair with her. Later, Xiao Dengzi went to a big city and spent money to do a paternity test. I don't know what happened afterwards."

Auntie Pang quickly replied, "I know, I know. Xiao Dengzi told me when he came to my house. He said that the paternity test proved that the child was his own and that Xiao Yiye was wrongly accused. I don't know about other things, but I know this very well. Don't wrongly accuse someone else's child of this."

Aunt Fang: "Oh, so that's how it is. Then why are others spreading rumors?"

Auntie Fat: "Who knows? When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. They all want to see their family laugh at them."

Xia Xiyue looked at the two women in front of her blankly, their mouths opening and closing. She seemed to have heard something, yet also seemed not to have heard anything.

Auntie Fat: "Also, when we were repairing the road last time, we were short of a few hundred dollars. I heard that it was also paid by Yiye."

Aunt Fang: "Ah, there is such a thing?"

Auntie Fat: "Yes, the street director said so himself."

Aunt Fang: "Then, why do people say that this child is just like his mother? I don't have much contact with him, so I just heard it from others."

……

The two of them chattered and spitted.

There is a whirlpool around Xia Xiyue's ears, and isn't Xiao Yiye and Xiao Ermei's life also a whirlpool?

Two half-siblings with the same mother were forced to be at the center of the vortex.

They are just teenagers like me, but they have to endure so much.

These were things Xia Xiyue could never have imagined.

She only knew that Xiao Yi was barbaric, arrogant, proud and aloof, but she didn't know why he was like that.

The seventeen-year-old man is already the head of the family. He not only has to support his unreasonable mother, but also has to treat his disabled sister.

At such a young age, he carries too much pressure that is not suitable for someone his age.

Before he grew up, he was thrown into a vortex of darkness.

An invisible shackle imprisoned him in a vortex.

Think about the boys in Jingbei’s class. They eat, drink, and have fun all day long and have nothing to do. They don’t have to worry about their lives at all.

Some people sigh just because they have to make a living, even though they have a lot of money in their pockets.

Some people crawl forward with all their might just to stay alive.

Suddenly, she felt a little sorry for Xiao Yiye.

……

Aunt Fang and Aunt Pang chattered incessantly, becoming more and more excited, vividly portraying the faces of the common people.

Xia Xiyue really didn't want to listen anymore, so she broke the silence: "Um, is there a dry cleaner nearby?"

After being here for so many days, I change clothes every day and the floor is already full of clothes.

If she doesn't wash it, she will have nothing to wear.

Xiao Yiye's house has a washing machine, but Xia Xiyue saw Xiao Lingling throw a few pairs of underwear in it, and they had been there for several days.

Helpless, she could only think of another way.

When she lived in Beijing North, she only had to put the clothes she changed into in the laundry basket and the servants would take care of it.

Now she had no one to rely on and had to find her own way.

After hearing this, Aunt Fang was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

"What? Dry cleaners? What's a dry cleaner? Is it a place where you wash your clothes?"

Xia Xiyue: "Yes."

Auntie Fat: "Child, there are no dry cleaners here. There are in the city, but it's a bit far away. It takes more than two hours to go there and back by car. You might as well wash it by hand."

Hand wash?

Xia Xiyue has never washed a piece of clothes in her life.

will not.

Xia Xiyue: "Is there a hand-washing shop in the county?"

Aunt Fang: "No, if you feel comfortable, bring it here and I'll wash it for you. Aunt Fang likes you because you're so pretty."

Xia Xiyue: "Then please help me wash it, Aunt Fang, and I'll pay you. How much do you think is a suitable amount for one piece?"

After rolling her eyes a few times, Aunt Fang pretended to be reserved and said, "Look at this child. He has to pay for washing a few pieces of clothes. Then 20 yuan per piece."

Auntie Fat couldn't help but gasp and cursed in her heart: Cai Guifang, you old fox actually cheated the little girl like this. You are really a piece of shit.

Xia Xiyue readily agreed: "Okay. There are a lot of clothes, so please go get them when you are free tomorrow, Aunt Fang."

Aunt Fang smiled happily: "Okay, okay, no problem. I'll get it after breakfast tomorrow."

After saying that, Xia Xiyue looked at the earth shrouded in darkness, and made the excuse that it was getting late, then got up and said goodbye.

Xia Xiyue didn't know how she left. She just felt her legs were very heavy, so heavy that she had difficulty walking, and so heavy that she felt depressed.

There was no expression on her face, her eyes were dull and blurred, and she walked aimlessly towards home, like a zombie with her soul out of her body.

She thought of Xiao Yiye, Xiao Ermei, and that weird Xiao Lingling.

I feel mixed emotions, I can't describe how I feel.

Suddenly, she felt that Xiao Yiye, the gangster, was not that bad after all.

Before, she thought he was a little rude to her mother Xiao Lingling, but now after observing him for these days and hearing what the neighbors said, she no longer thinks so.

If she had a mother like Xiao Lingling, she would also be furious.

Not to mention being rude to Xiao Lingling, he wouldn't even pay any attention to her, let alone give her money.

Anyone who has a mother like this would be furious.

It seems that Xiao Yiye is quite filial.

After Xia Xiyue saw Xiao Lingling on the day she came, Xiao Lingling disappeared the next afternoon. For so many days, she hadn't even seen her shadow.

It was as if Xiao Lingling hurried home just to receive this express delivery.

After signing for it, he handed the package over to Xiao Yiye and no longer cared about anything else.

Xiao Yiye, a seventeen-year-old boy, has to play both the role of a father and a mother. He has to make money and take care of her and Xiao Ermei.

So miserable!
