Gu Xiaowan finished her work and went home. When she was about to open the door with the key, she heard a quarrel coming from the living room.
"Get out of here if you want to play the game again. I don't have a son like you."
"Get out of here. Anyway, I don't want to go to school anymore!"
"You're only sixteen. What are you going to do if you don't go to school? Gu Xiao Cheng, I'll tell you, if you play the game again, I'll smash your broken computer!"
Sigh... her mother was also angry at her brother for playing games and not studying all day long.
Gu Xiaowan's movement to open the door slowed down.
At this time, if she went in, all her mother's anger would definitely be transferred to her.
She took out the key and was ready to leave, but the voice behind her mentioned her,
"Mom, don't move my computer! Listen to me, there is a reason why I don't go to school. My family is so poor, and my sister has just been admitted to college. How can my family have money to provide for two people to study? If I drop out of school, it will be easier for me to stay at home."
"Don't make excuses! Your sister is about to get married! Why are you still in a university? You're a girl. It's useless to read so many books!"
"Mom... have you discussed this with my sister?"
"What?!"
Gu Xiaowan stopped and thought that there was something wrong with her ears.
Marry someone? She was only 18 years old. Who was she going to marry?
"What are you talking about? I have raised her up and have no right to decide her marriage? Besides, your father asked someone to find a good marriage for your sister. Although the man is older, he is rich. He also said that he will give us hundreds of thousands of betrothal gifts. As long as your sister gets married, our family will be rich!"
Listening to her mother's reasonable tone, Gu Xiaowan's heart seemed to fall into an ice cellar.
For the sake of the betrothal gifts of hundreds of thousands of yuan, her mother did not hesitate to sell her!
From childhood to adulthood, no matter how sensible and obedient she was, her parents would always only have her younger brother in their eyes. She had been forbearing, thinking that after graduation from college, she would have the ability to escape from this home.
But! Now! Her hope, which had just been ignited, was about to be extinguished!
Is it just because she is a girl that she wants to deprive her of her right to pursue her dreams?
It was not until this moment that Gu Xiaowan knew how much her mother doted on boys and girls.
No, she was not reconciled! If her mother didn't give her money, she would find her own way!
。。。。。
Standing in his friend Yun Muqing's house, Gu Xiaowan's aggrieved tears could not help crying again.
She wiped her face and pressed the doorbell.
"Xiaowan?" When Yun Muqing opened the door, he saw Gu Xiaowan pulling her face with tears in the corner of her eyes. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Gu Xiaowan bit her lip and pinched the corner of her clothes.
Mu Shan came out with an apron and greeted with enthusiasm, "Xiao Wan is coming. Come in and take a seat."
Gu Xiaowan lowered her head in a low voice and said coyly, "Auntie... Can I borrow some money from you?"
Yun Muqing was stunned. "Xiaowan, what are you going to borrow money for?"
"I... My mother doesn't want me to go to college. I want to borrow money to pay the tuition..."
As soon as Gu Xiaowan finished her words, the room became silent.
She didn't dare to look at the faces of the Yun Family, so she kept her head down.
Mu Shan and Yun Muqing looked at each other and sighed. "Xiaowan, in fact, auntie's family has been having a hard time these days. I'm afraid that I can't help you if I don't take back the funds outside."
Gu Xiaowan's body was stiff, and her fingers clenched tighter.
As for borrowing money, she knew that she could not force it.
She said in a low voice, "Thank you, auntie. I'll go first."
But Yun Mudqing took her arm and came out with her. "Xiaowan, don't worry. I will help you find a way. Your mother may just be angry..."
Gu Xiaowan bit her lip and told her best friend about her embarrassment.
Yun Muxi looked stunned and said, "Is there a mistake? You are only eighteen years old. How can you get married?"
Gu Xiaowan's tongue was full of bitterness.
"Hey, Xiao Wan, don't be sad. Things will always be resolved..."
Yun Muqing's comfort warmed Gu Xiaowan's heart. Anyway, she still had friends.
She was about to speak, but when she looked up, she saw a familiar figure coming over.
