My mother is a rural woman with low education. She worked and set up a stall to support her fiancé's education. Later, she got married and had children. Later, the man filed for divorce on the pretext of not having a common language and having incompatible personalities.
In fact, these are just excuses for men. The real reason is that in order to climb up the ladder, a man fell in love with a rich girl, so he abandoned his wife and a pair of children, leaving behind a son who can carry on the family line.
The mother left with her daughter and returned to her hometown. She bought a small house in the county town with the little money she was given, and continued to make a living by running a street vendor to support her daughter in school.
Later, during the second semester of her sophomore year in college, her mother suddenly fell ill and died. In fact, her mother had been ill for a long time and her liver area had been uncomfortable. She was just afraid of spending money, so she never went to see her.
Later, I dropped out of school and left home to work in the south. I met Gu Hualei and gradually became more cheerful.
Gu Hualei needs to have a good family background, ability, and good looks, and be gentle and considerate to her. Finding such a boyfriend is something she has never dreamed of.
Of course, when I agreed to date him, I didn't think of taking shortcuts, nor was I without vanity.
She is a person who has lived a hard life.
In her memory, since she was sensible, she has been helping her mother set up street stalls, sometimes pushing a cart to sell breakfast cakes, sometimes setting up a stall in the wet market to sell vegetables, sometimes selling socks, scarves, trinkets, and sometimes selling all kinds of clothes.
When selling breakfast and vegetables, even in the dead of winter, they would set out before dawn, otherwise they would not be able to get a good position.
When selling clothes, socks and trinkets, they would sometimes push their carts from one lane to another. At night, they would pay some stall fees and put them in Night Market. They would not leave until early in the morning when others closed their stalls and went home.
She has been very sensible since she was a child. Although Little Friend people often call her a wild child without a father and sometimes throw stones at her, although her classmates dislike her and never play with her, and although her mother often vents her anger on her because of her unsatisfactory life and is extremely strict with her in studies, she has never really felt any resentment.
She longed for a better life, and she worked very hard to change the current situation. However, she had not graduated from college and had only studied in the second semester of her second year of college when her mother died suddenly.
When she got the news, she felt like her sky suddenly fell.
The doctor told her that her mother should have experienced various uncomfortable symptoms long before the onset of the disease, such as frequent difficulty breathing, pain in the chest, etc., and she should also have symptoms of coughing up blood later on. However, her mother did not pay attention to it, or in other words, she knew very well in her heart that she just didn't want to spend money, so she kept putting it off.
Because it had been delayed for too long, and because her mother's body had been overworked for many years, the onset of illness was particularly fast, and she died all of a sudden.
The original person didn't even see her for the last time.
What made her devastated and regretful was that a month before her mother passed away, she had a big fight with her mother because she wanted to go out to work and pay for her living expenses while working and studying.
This quarrel made her not call home for a month.
I thought this was just a normal cold war. After all, mother and daughter had been fighting for several months over which major they wanted to study.
