C5 The past That Makes People Cry
"Wake up, Dad is just too tired. When he's rested, he'll wake up." I hugged him and woke up. I forcefully held back the tears in my eyes and didn't let them flow out.
If I fell, no one would be able to support this family anymore.
"Mom, when can dad wake up!?" Zhi Xing touched his tears. His small face was full of tears, which made people's heart ache.
Lu Zhixing is the son of Lu Yuanzhi and I. He got into a car accident on the second day of our wedding. Fortunately, although we only did it once on the wedding night, it gave him a descendant.
Back then, my mother forced me to abort my child and divorce her, but that was Lu Yuanzhi's flesh and blood, so how could I bear to do so? That was why I secretly left home and gave birth to the child outside. I only brought it back after a full month.
It was also at this moment that his grandparents, who woke up, found out that I had returned with the child. They actually left me a letter and left me far away, throwing Lu Yuanzhi to me.
The reason why Zhi Xing's name is also because I want Lu Yuanzhi to wake up quickly to get a homophone.
"Be good, Zhixing. When you grow up, daddy will wake up!" I hugged Zhixing, feeling extremely uncomfortable in my heart, but I had to pretend to be very happy.
Because that was the only way they wouldn't worry about me.
Zhixing nodded as if he understood. He looked at me curiously and fell asleep in my arms. There was even a trace of tear at the corner of his eyes.
I carried Zhixing to the bed and covered him with the blanket. I returned to the living room and stood in front of my mother. I was at a loss and didn't know how to explain this to her.
Back then, if she hadn't forced me to do this, I wouldn't have done this to hide him.
In the end, my mother saw that I was embarrassed and spoke first, "Ah Qin, I know. You are a warmhearted person, and now that the matter has already been settled, I can't say anything else. It's just that you are still young, and you have a child, as well as a crippled child. Are you really not planning to remarry?"
Her eyes were filled with tears. Her entire face had become extremely pale due to overwork and worry. There was a trace of hoarseness in her voice, which was caused by long-term crying. The doctor said that if she cried like this again, there would be problems with her eyes and throat in the future.
"Mom, don't cry. I will be fine. I can let you and Zhixing live a good life. You should rest early. Zhixing still needs you to take him to the park tomorrow!" I couldn't help but whimper. I couldn't say it anymore because I remembered that Zhixing was in the countryside and hadn't even been to an amusement park.
I had been busy like a top. I didn't even have time to sleep, let alone accompany him.
Mother nodded helplessly, forced a smile, and instructed, "Rest early." Then, she limped into the room.
I looked at her back and felt extremely uncomfortable in my heart. I had no choice but to take a few sleeping pills before barely falling asleep.
I can't not sleep. I still have work to do tomorrow. I have to rest, or else I won't be able to hold on.
In order to earn more money, I have to do two jobs. The one at night is considered my part-time job, and the one in the day is considered my formal job.
At six o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by the alarm. I ruthlessly slapped myself in the face a few times before forcing myself out of sleepiness.
After putting on my clothes, before I left, I couldn't help but push open Zhixing's room. I kissed his long eyelashes before getting up and leaving.
When I arrived at the store, it was exactly 6: 30. The sky was still bright. I yawned, turned on the shutter door, turned on the lights, and started to clean the container.
This is a small convenience store. The owner's surname is Zheng. We all call him Old Man Zheng.
The convenience store's location was not bad. It was also the only convenience store in the attachment, so business was very good.
Although the daily profit is only 700-800, Old Man Zheng gave me a salary of 300 a day, and he also allowed me to look after my husband, Lu Yuanzhi, midway. He also allowed me to secretly sleep for a while when there was no one around. So, this job, I worked for three years.
And his only request was that I cook three meals a day for him in the kitchen of the restaurant.
These few days, Old Man Zheng went overseas for a vacation, so I was too lazy to cook. I turned around and went out to buy a cup of soy milk and two steamed buns.
After eating, I was still very sleepy. I lay on the cashier counter and prepared to sleep for a while.
Here, sleeping is something I often do. In any case, if someone comes in, there will be a pleasant female voice outside that says, "Welcome. As for me, I just need to wake up at that time. Old Man Zheng would never say anything about me.
This time, just as I fell asleep, a sound came from the door. I sat up like a spring and forced myself to open my eyes to look at the door.
A tall and slender figure appeared at the door. There was a trace of fatigue on his face, as if he had not slept well the entire night.
Wait!
I rubbed my eyes with all my might. When I saw the person at the door, I was completely dumbfounded.
Why is he here?
Just as I was in shock, Chiang Kun turned his head and was stunned for a moment. Then, he narrowed his eyes and carefully sized me up.
He looked at me for a long time before saying, "Did you see a girl come in?"
I deliberately pinched my throat and pointed at the back door, saying, "She left!"
Chiang Kun narrowed his eyes and took a glance at me. Then, he hurriedly left through the back door.
I looked at his back for a long time, unable to regain my senses.
What exactly is going on with this person? I actually found him here. It must have been when I went out to buy buns that he saw me. That's why he followed me all the way here.
If I wasn't a single-eyed person, I would have been in trouble if I didn't have double eyelids during the night. Plus, I intentionally drew it ugly during the day and added a few large moles on my face!
Looks like this person's objective isn't simple. I've never offended anyone in the aisle. Why is he pestering me like this?
I can't figure it out. For an entire day, I didn't even have the mood to do anything. After waiting until 6: 30 at night, I hastily settled the accounts and changed into sexy clothes. I took off the ugly makeup from the day and changed into seductive makeup. I put on a large sunhat and left through the back door.
When I went out, I vaguely saw a familiar figure. He looked very much like Wen Chuyang, but when I wanted to take a closer look, he disappeared around the corner and disappeared without a trace.
I was in a hurry, so I didn't investigate further. I turned around and got on the bus.
When I arrived at the clubhouse, it was exactly seven o'clock. Guests had arrived one after another. The sisters were all ready to welcome the guests.
Every time this time, I would be conflicted for a while. Finally, under Sister Lan's urging, I followed behind a large crowd of beautiful girls and stood in the private room for people to choose from.
Like usual, I wore a red card and stood at the end of the line with my head slightly lowered.
