[Comprehensive Korean Drama] "Core" Life

After shedding the cloak of coming from a big city and a wealthy family, Han Youli was also "isolated" in her class.The child's anger came and went quickly, and Han Youli was willing to lower her posture and bend down to please others, so it didn't take long for her to join another small group.Even when Han Youli was "down and down", she didn't think about getting closer to Xin Ai. She still looked at Xin Ai with arrogant and dismissive eyes. It seemed that even so, she was still superior to Xin Ai.

Han Youli looks down on her, and Xin Ai also looks down on her, so the relationship between the two is very distant.Because of the festival of "excellent students", Han Youli remembered Xinai in her heart, so when dealing with Xinai afterwards, her words could not help but be full of "gunpowder".If she did too much, Xin Ai would fight back unceremoniously, if it was not painful, she would just bark like a dog and ignore it.

Unlike Han Youli who has a tense relationship with Xin Ai, Han Taihua gets along well with Cui Yingxiong and Liu Junhe, and even became friends.Liu Junhe's mother felt sorry for Liu Junhe who worked part-time at a young age, and did not earn much after hard work. She was afraid of exhausting him, not to mention that the family was not short of money, so she asked Liu Junhe to quit her job a long time ago.It's just that Liu Junhe, who didn't know the real situation at home, refused, so he persisted.

Han Taihua and Han Youli came to seek refuge with their aunt with nothing and depended on their aunt's family to live.However, their aunt's family was not well-off, and suddenly there were two more people in the family, resources were redistributed, and life became tight.Han Taihua and Han Youli's status in their aunt's house is embarrassing, even if they work hard, they won't get any good face.Life under the fence is difficult, Cui Yingxiong and Liu Junhe both sympathize with him, but their own family situation is not good, so they can't help him.

When Liu Junhe's mother stopped Liu Junhe from going to work again, Liu Junhe thought of Han Taihua, and after discussing with Han Taihua, he introduced the job in hand to him.In this way, Liu Junhe not only fulfilled his mother's wish, but also helped his friends, killing two birds with one stone.And Han Taihua has a job, can make money to subsidize their lives, and maybe they can slightly improve their situation in their aunt's house.This is also a good thing for Han Tae-hwa.

Because Han Taihua became friends with Cui Yingying and Liu Junhe, during the lunch break at noon, Han Taehua joined Cui Yingying and the others with a lunch box.Han Youli has always had lunch with Han Taihua, so she was also brought in by Han Taihua.In this regard, Xinai did not express any opinion.

Obviously, Cui Yingxiong and the others have a closer relationship with Xin Ai.If she argues with Xinai, even if Han Taihua is her brother, Han Youli understands that he will not be on her side, so she hides her dislike for Xinai and tries her best to keep peace with Xinai.Even, Han Youli wanted to pretend to be intimate with Xin Ai in front of everyone, but was distanced by Xin Ai's sentence "We are not familiar with each other".Therefore, during the lunch break, the relationship between Xin Ai and Han Youli is just like Xin Ai and other students in the class, neither far nor close, neither close nor close, nor alienated.

Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the bento group does not choose another location, and directly uses the chemical laboratory as the "base camp" for dinner parties.The reason, apart from the trouble of finding another location, is that Xin Ai took a fancy to the newspaper here.There is no TV, no radio at home, let alone the spare money to order newspapers and magazines,... The dissemination of news depends on everyone's word of mouth, and the news is blocked.

For unknown reasons, there are no newspapers kept in the town library, and no newspapers that can spread the news in time are ordered.Although Xinai can learn about some international and Korean developments and policies and regulations from the books and magazines in the town library, the information is lagging and not comprehensive.Therefore, the "Korea Daily" ordered by Cui Yingxiong and his chemistry teacher is a channel for her to keep abreast of instant news from the outside world, so that she will not become blind or deaf.

After eating, Xin Ai sat aside and read the newspaper.Liu Junhe also took a few and went to the other side to read.Cui Yingxiong and the others were not interested in this, and sat on the side chatting.Xin Ai's eyes fell on the second page of the newspaper and did not move. Most of the page was organized by the government and sponsored by several major consortia. Call for papers on limited topics (except poetry).Staring at the prize money of the first prize above, Xin Ai's eyes lit up and her mouth watered.

Yingmei leaned over, "Xinai, what are you looking at? You are so engrossed? I have been calling you for a long time, but you still haven't responded." Her eyes fell on the place where Xinai's eyes were fixed, and she shouted in surprise: "1000 million yuan !"

The shouts of welcoming the beauty brought everyone's attention to this side.Looking at Xin Ai, Cui Yingxiong asked suspiciously: "Xin Ai, what is Yingmei talking about? What 1000 million?"

Xin Ai didn't answer, just handed over the newspaper, Liu Junhe and the others also moved over to read it together.After reading it, there was a silence in the room.Cui Yingxiong shook the newspaper, put it aside, and said: "Money is good money, but it has nothing to do with us. We can only watch it and be greedy."

"Who said it has nothing to do with us?" Yingmei retorted unconvinced: "Since it is open to the whole country and there is no age limit for the participants, why can't we participate? Even if it is not the first prize, even if it is a winning prize, there is 300 million bonus!"

Cui Yingxiong disagreed with Yingmei's opinion, and poured cold water on it: "We are considered excellent in the class, but there are still better than us in the school. This is just one school. How many schools are there in the whole of Korea? Just like us , it won’t show up at all if you put it inside. What’s more, the participants are obviously not only students, but also elites from all walks of life, so how can we compare with others?”

Liu Junhe smiled and said: "Hero, don't belittle yourself too much. If everyone thinks like you, how can this event be organized? If you want to, everyone should contribute. In short, we shouldn't take this matter too seriously. The most important thing is to win awards, and the most important thing is to participate.”

When things came to an end, Liu Junhe set the tone for it.Xin Ai didn't know whether others cared about this matter, but she cared about it.Shun Ren and Cui Yingxiong may be satisfied with their current lives, and they can save some money while paying off their debts, but Xin Ai cannot accept it.If life goes on like this step by step, Xinai has calculated that the family's more than 4000 million debts will not be paid off until the year she graduates from university.

But this means that during these years, no one in the family got sick, and no other unexpected things happened, so life went smoothly.However, Xin Ai knew that this was simply impossible.Not to mention the health problems of family members, nor the life experience of Xin Ai, the usury alone is not reassuring.For these existences that wander in the gray area of ​​society and are on the edge of the law, Xinai really doesn't trust them very much. Will they let the Cui family repay the money so smoothly?

Every time a usurer came to ask for money, Shun Ren had already prepared the money, but they still had to go into the store and overturn the tables and chairs, break the dishes, eat and drink whatever they wanted, and when they left, they would grab some things before they left.So much so that on the day they came to collect the bill, the store didn't dare to open for fear of hurting the customers.As for the additional losses they caused, they will not pay.Therefore, there will be an additional expense in the store every month. If these years, this money is saved, it will be a lot of money. Whether it is used to pay off debts or saved, it can do a lot of things.Therefore, Xinai is worried, what if something goes wrong in the middle?

The law in South Korea is very strange. It is illegal to lend usury, but the signed IOU is protected by law.As long as you sign the IOU, even if you go to the police station, it is impossible not to pay back the money.There is nothing that these usurers can't do.It's a long night and dreams, it's better to pay it off as soon as possible, so as to save you from having to deal with them all the time and cause trouble!

As for Cui Zhibin, although autism cannot be completely cured, the sooner the disease is treated, the more normal people will be.But the Cui family has no money, so they can only let Cui Zhibin fend for himself.

In her spare time, Xinai wrote a lot of manuscripts, but in the end she was not satisfied and tore them up.Cui Yingxiong went to work on weekends, and Xin Ai was bored at home and continued to write, and a burst of crying came to his ears vaguely.

"Hey, go and see, something happened to Lao Jin's house?" someone shouted in the restaurant.After a hula, all the guests in the restaurant ran out to watch the excitement.Annoyed, Xinai put down her pen and walked out, only to see a group of people gathered around the gate of the pickle restaurant in the village.

"Please, let my daughter go, haven't I always paid you back the money on time? Why do you still do this? Please, let her go, I will work hard to make money, I will work harder to make money, I will pay you back some more every month." Master Jin of the pickle shop knelt on the ground, kowtowing to a few men who looked like thugs.

The villagers in the slums barely maintain their daily life. Once something happens to the family and they need a lot of money, their assets are almost in debt. Even if there are one or two rich relatives, they will not lend you money, for the same reason as the bank, because they are afraid that you will not be able to pay it back.So usury is everyone's only choice, so Shun Ren's family is not the only one who borrows usury in the village.

Master Jin from the pickle restaurant made good pickles. Seeing that the child was growing up, he wanted to give the child a better development and save more money, so he borrowed money from usury to start the pickle business outside.In the past few years, I have been slowly repaying the debt, and it is said that it is almost finished, so what is the trouble?

The leader of several thugs squatted down, laughed and said to Master Jin who was kneeling on the ground: "You old guy, you really don't know how to play tricks. Think about it, you work so hard to make pickles, and every month How much do you earn? When your daughter goes to work in a nightclub, she only needs to drink a few drinks with others, and she earns more than you earn in a month of hard work. Where can you find such an easy good thing? You don’t have to work so hard to pay off your debts. How wonderful, you What's not to like? Ah!"

Master Jin kept kowtowing, grabbed the other party's trousers, and begged: "She can't go to that kind of place. Please, please, please, please, let my daughter go. We will work very hard to make money and pay off the debt, she I really can't go to that kind of place, her whole life will be ruined if she goes to that kind of place, she is not yet 16 years old,..."

"That kind of place?" The leader sneered, "What's wrong with that kind of place? Not only does your daughter not have to work there, but she can also dress up beautifully. What's wrong with that? Just your poor family, I'm afraid your daughter won't be able to prepare a decent dowry when she gets married, but if your daughter goes to work with us, not only will she be able to pay off the debts owed by your family very quickly, but she will also be able to save a share in a few years. The generous dowry will prevent her from being picked on by her in-laws when she gets married and being laughed at by others. This kind of good thing that has fallen from the world is hard to find with a lantern. You should be happy, crying and crying, it is really disappointing !"

The leader ignored Master Jin's pleading, raised his leg and kicked him, kicked Master Jin away, shouted "Let's go", turned around and left.Several people who came with him followed him and got into the car together.When the car door was opened, Xin Ai saw very clearly that Master Jin's daughter had her mouth gagged, her arms tied behind her, and was watched by a few burly men. She was sitting in the car, with big drops of tears streaming down her cheeks. Down.

The car drove away, Master Jin was also picked up, and all the people around him dispersed.Xin Ai stood still.Yingmei came over, patted her on the shoulder, followed Xin Ai's gaze, there was nothing, and asked wonderingly: "Xin Ai, what's wrong with you, why are you in a daze?"

"It's okay." Xin Ai shook her head, shuddered, clenched her hands tightly, feeling sweaty in her palms, almost squeezed water, "Let's go back."

Xinai and Yingmei returned to the restaurant together.Entering the room, Yingmei saw the manuscript that Xin Ai put aside, picked it up, looked at it, and asked, "Xin Ai, is this the manuscript you used for the competition?"

Xin Ai did not answer directly, but asked instead: "What do you think?"

Yingmei put down the manuscript, looked at Xin Ai, and said cautiously: "Xin Ai, let me be honest, don't be angry. I think, considering our age, your writing is already good, but, if you take it to the competition , I think the level seems to be almost there.”

Where is it almost, it's far away!Xin Ai knows that even if she writes in her mother tongue, the articles she writes may not be outstanding, let alone in a foreign language.Although she is greedy for the 1000 million bonus, Xin Ai has been unable to make up her mind, because she knows that it is impossible for her to win the first prize by herself. Her writing level is not that high, and she is not specialized in this area. .But after today's incident at Master Jin's house, Xin Ai made up her mind whether she was "cheating" or not, and whether she was fair to the other contestants.She didn't want to fall into the situation of Master Jin's daughter one day.

The author has something to say: In Korea, it is said that when a woman gets married, she must prepare as much dowry as the man's dowry, otherwise she will be looked down upon by her in-laws and even divorced because of this.So, don't be fooled by Korean dramas. In Korea, raising a daughter is actually a very "losing money" thing.
