FSC [QT] Chapter 162.1

“Chenglin, you and Mom will have to live in this small house from now on. As for your Dad…your Dad, if you want to meet him, Mom won’t stop you. But you have to remember that if he can abandon us once, he can abandon us a second time. Don’t be deceived by him in the future.”

After getting divorced and completing all the formalities, Jiang Mi returned to the rental house like a lost soul. She sat on the sofa, unable to muster up energy for a long time.

She still has a debt of more than one million yuan now. Fortunately, this part of the debt is owed to relatives and friends. They also sympathize with her situation and are willing not to charge interest.

From now on, she will take out 40,000 yuan every month to repay the debt. If she grits her teeth, she can pay off the debt in two or three years.

Jiang Mi is a teacher. Because of her long teaching experience, excluding the five social insurances and one housing fund, her monthly salary plus bonus is about 8,000 yuan.

As a teacher, most of her income comes from tutoring classes. She can earn nearly 2,000 yuan for one class in a big class.

In the past, the main source of income for the family was Sheng Yuan. Jiang Mi pursued a high-quality life and only took four tutoring classes a month at most.

But things are different now.

Jiang Mi will fill her weekend schedule and even invite students to her home for classes on weekday evenings. In this way, her monthly income can reach 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.

Her son’s education and daily life require expenses, so she has to save some money just in case.

In this way, the funds for renting a house are greatly reduced.

Jiang Mi looked around.

The walls of the old apartment were already mottled and peeling, and the old yellow dirt in the toilet sink in the bathroom could not be cleaned no matter how much cleaning agent was used. It made people feel nauseous just by looking at it.

In the past, she would have felt sick even to step foot into a place like this, but now, she had to live in this small house for a long time. She didn’t know when she would be able to save enough money to buy a house and move out.

Jiang Mi felt wronged for herself and for her son.

Because the rented house was small, Sheng Chenglin lost his independent study room.

Jiang Mi could only put a small desk for him in her son’s bedroom. The length of the desk was just enough for Sheng Chenglin to put down his elbows. Because of the presence of this desk, the small room seemed even more crowded.

“Mom, everything will be fine. When I go to college, I can apply for a student loan first, so you don’t have to worry about living expenses. I don’t want to go abroad. In fact, the education level in China is not bad now. I can strive for a master’s and doctoral degree in China and then find a good job to help you share the pressure.”

To be honest, Sheng Chenglin really couldn’t accept his current living environment, but he quickly forced himself to adapt. He should cheer up and comfort his mother when she is sad.

“Mom is still young. Don’t worry. No matter what happens, Mom will not delay your studies.”

Jiang Mi did not agree with her son’s naive comfort.

In her opinion, truly outstanding talents are those who have seen more advanced technology and broaden their horizons abroad, especially those with degrees from Ivy League schools, who are the stepping stones to high-quality companies.

The connections accumulated while studying abroad can also help her son in developing his career in the future.

But Jiang Mi was particularly relieved that her son knew how to feel sorry for his mother at such a young age.

No matter how difficult the days were, the mother and son could always get through them by helping each other.

“Thanks to those two male classmates who saved you that day. I was so busy these days that I even forgot to invite those classmates to have a meal to express my gratitude.”

Jiang Mi rubbed her aching forehead, but when she saw the environment inside the house clearly, she gave up the idea of ​​inviting the two classmates to her home for a simple meal.

“Let’s invite those two classmates to have dinner at Sijichun some other day. Mom doesn’t know what you boys like. I’ll give you two thousand yuan later. See if you can buy something they like. If you don’t have enough money, tell me.”

Jiang Mi still had some money in her hand. She felt that this money could not be saved.

First of all, this was the basic principle of being a human being. It was already unreasonable for her not to express her gratitude to others who saved her son.

If she did not express her attitude, it would only make people think that they, mother and son, were conscienceless and immoral.

She also didn’t want her son to become the kind of person who took it for granted when being helped.

“Maybe we have to add one more person. There was also a girl who saved me last time.”

Sheng Chenglin thought of Xiang Wu. It was she who saved him last time, but because so many things happened afterward, he did not thank her in time.

“Okay, let’s go together.”

Jiang Mi also thought of the first time her son was harassed by those loan sharks, but she didn’t expect that the one who saved her son at that time was actually a girl. She was able to save her son in that situation. Before they met, Jiang Mi had a good impression of the girl.

“Starting tomorrow, you should go back to school, but…”

Jiang Mi looked up at her son with a serious expression: “Mom acted too high-profile in the early years. To be honest, I offended many people. Now I am in trouble, and a group of people are waiting to see my joke.”

“When you return to school, you may find that our family’s affairs have spread everywhere. Your classmates may ask you out of curiosity, or sympathize with you, or look down on you. Mom hopes that you can take this as a tempering, and not feel inferior or be affected by it.”

“Being poor is not a shameful thing. This matter is neither your fault nor mine, so you should just let some unpleasant words go in one ear and out the other. If your mood is really affected by those people with bad intentions, it will be a loss.”
