Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption-Chapter 243 - 145-146: Hidden Truths / Accidents / Joy? (Part 4)
Heโs from the same town as me, our villages separated by less than five miles. Itโs just him and an older sister at home, and neither of our families had any objections to our marriage. ๐ณ๐ซ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐จ๐๐๐น.๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ
After a year of marriage, I had Dongdong. When Dongdong was four, we got divorced because the daughter of the small restaurant where he worked took a liking to him.
The manโs heart was no longer with me. No matter what I did, he was displeased. In the end, I had no choice but to divorce.
I thought about taking Dongdong back to my hometown, but he went back to the village and slandered me as a loose woman, claiming he divorced me because he couldnโt stand my fooling around with other men outside.
My parents misunderstood me, let alone others. This wasnโt something that could be clarified with explanations. When Dongdong and I returned to my hometown, the villagers acted as if they didnโt recognize us and spoke ill of us once we passed by. My brother and sister-in-law hinted in every way that I should leave quickly and not bring shame to the family.
Later I thought, even if I reluctantly stayed, Dongdong probably couldnโt continue in school. You havenโt seen that kind of remote rural area; children are influenced by adults and bully such kids to death.
Going to another place, Island City was the only place I was familiar with. With no other options, I took Dongdong back here. But the only things I can do are cooking and cleaning, and the money Iโve made barely gets us by.
Miss Luo, Iโm not the kind of mother who neglects her childโs future. But I really had no other choice. To be honest, the treatment you offer here is the best, and I finally see hope for affording Dongdongโs school fees. Please donโt send me away. I will work hard. Iโm begging you!
Luo Ye sighed softly, "Just now I did think you werenโt considering your childโs future. Ah, it hasnโt been easy for you. Hereโs what weโll do: weโll keep your salary the same, you can cancel your rental, and bring over Dongdong too, to save you worrying and spending extra money.
As for Dongdongโs schooling, Iโll find someone to help transfer him to Taiping Road Primary School, which is just a five-minute walk from here. This way, you can be reassured, right?"
Sister Li trembled with excitement, "Miss Luo, thank you, thank you for not sending me away. But itโs better not to bring over Dongdong, itโll be too much trouble for you and itโs against procedure."
"Aunt Li, youโre wrong there. I told you before, a person can have pride but should not be obstinate. When Luoluo says this, it means she is sincere. Where does this idea of procedure being broken come from?
Besides, Dongdong is a sensible kid. His company could cheer up Qingqing, and heโs far better than what you can do, Aunt Li."
Ying Nuo quickly added, "Xing Nong is right. Although Iโm meeting you for the first time, if both Luoluo and Xing Nong trust you, then you canโt be wrong!"
Tang Luo pointed at Ying Nuo with a smile, "Aunt Li, this is Luoluoโs future sister-in-law. Look, even the future sister-in-law has spoken. If youโre being pretentious now, itโs pointless!"
"Iโll smack you for being so disrespectful!"
"..."
The groupโs laughter and banter relaxed Sister Li, and though she was incoherent with emotion, they finally made sense of her gratitudeโMiss Luoโs kindness would never be forgotten by her and her son; they were determined to repay it.
Sang Qingqing, who had been silent, hugged Sister Li with tears, "Yeโer did this because she acknowledges you, and she doesnโt mean for you and your son to shoulder anything. When you find a proper place and itโs time to leave, donโt feel any burden. For now, just stay here with peace of mind."
...
A week had passed since returning from Sha City, and Luo Ye would call Mom every day. As for progress, she believed that asking Mom would be futile. She couldnโt help but ask Grandpa once, whose reply was consistently brief, "Donโt worry, it will be sorted out soon."
Another person who promised to keep her informed, Classmate from night school, didnโt have any news either. She originally wanted to call and ask, but after thinking it over, she gave up. She had done all she could, and with her current ability, she couldnโt offer more help. She might as well focus on what she could do, as her brother said, so she could better help her family in the future. Once she came to terms with this, she truly felt more at peace.
With a better mood, her academic progress accelerated. Now, the class had small tests every few days, and her grades were improving each time, much to the delight of her teachers who praised her occasionally.
As Q Universityโs anniversary was approaching, and coincidentally on a Saturday, Luo Ye decided to go cheer for her brother, along with Tang Luoxing, Nong Ying Nuo, and Fu Mo. After some thought, she decided to pick up Dongdong from her masterโs villa.
