Shenhao: I am really not the turtle in the wishing well Chapter 223

August 12, Monday.

The D10 sleeper train departs from Hudu to Beidu South Station.

The morning sun shines through the window and wakes up the sleeping travelers one after another.

Feeling the slightly shaking carriage and listening to the slightly noisy voices outside the curtain, Ai Ruohua opened her eyes a little tiredly.

Her sleep is very shallow, and she was not very comfortable last night. Although she lay down immediately after getting on the train, she fell asleep in the early morning.

In addition, she wakes up from time to time in the middle of the journey. Now she only feels dizzy and her body is soft and weak.

Ai Ruohua sighed. Since the last time she was sick and hospitalized, her body has not fully recovered. Maybe she should listen to her daughter and take the daytime train.

But she really doesn't want to miss this moment that concerns Aini's future.

"Ruohua, are you awake?"

Outside the soft curtain of the upper bunk, her cousin Gao Jingfen called out.

"Wake up, Sister Jingfen, I'll be out right away."

Ai Ruohua tidied her clothes, pinched her brows, pulled open the soft curtain with a swish, and climbed down from the upper bunk.

She greeted the plump Gao Jingfen and went to wash up first.

After a while, Ai Ruohua, who finally recovered some energy with the stimulation of cold water, returned to the bunk and sat side by side with her cousin from her aunt's family, chatting quietly while eating her own breakfast.

"Ruohua, you fell asleep on the bus last night and didn't have a good chat with me. It's rare for us sisters to go to Beidu together."

Listen, how enthusiastic these words are, Ai Ruohua felt a little funny in her heart.

For so many years, these relatives of her deceased father in Shanghai have only maintained a superficial relationship with her.

They are not even as good as the neighbors in the alley, who can help her take care of her daughter.

And even though they live not far away, they have never cared about the mother and daughter for so many years.

They are just strangers they know.

So when I was sick and hospitalized, I would rather ask my cousin Yang Jingyun from my aunt's family who lived thousands of miles away to come over, rather than begging these local relatives.

Because asking for help would only bring humiliation upon myself, and they would have plenty of excuses to prevaricate.

This cousin Gao Jingfen happened to meet me nearby the day before yesterday and chatted with me for a while. When she heard that I was going to Beidu last night, she immediately became enthusiastic.

She said that she was also going to Beidu to travel with some local old classmates. The date had not been determined yet, but it was better to go on the same day than to wait for a day, so she would just go with her cousin so that she could take care of her on the way.

Then she showed her true colors and asked me to help her book tickets.

Ai Ruohua was thin-skinned and suffered several losses when she was young, and she had fully understood the mercenary nature of these relatives.

Gao Jingfen was one of the representatives, the kind who never gets enough of taking advantage of small things, and was always calculating and plucking the feathers of the geese.

Sneering in her heart, Ai Ruohua did not refuse and immediately took out her mobile phone to book second-class berth tickets for the two of them.

Seeing that the ticket was successfully booked, the cousin immediately said that the gas at home was not turned off and she needed to go back and turn it off immediately, and then she turned around and ran away.

Ai Ruohua didn't care about her at the time, and now she sneered in her heart, where can you run on the train?

She smiled lightly: "It's really rare. We haven't had a good chat for so many years. By the way, Sister Jingfen, transfer me the ticket money, 505 yuan.

"Ordinarily, I shouldn't ask you for this little money, but you know our family. We are not rich, so I have to be thick-skinned."

Gao Jingfen's face froze, and her heart was full of regret. The simple and face-saving cousin at the time would never come back.

She had to take out her mobile phone and transfer money while saying: "Oh, you said that I forgot about this matter, it's so wrong!"

"Well, it's okay, we are all old, it's normal to forget things." Ai Ruohua received the transfer with a smile.

"Ruohua, Mingshan notified you that she will get married at the end of the month, right? Let's go together then. "

Gao Jingfen was unhappy and was secretly preparing to provoke her. As far as she knew, Mingshan's marriage was not told to Ai Ruohua, and they didn't want to have any contact with this poor relative.

"Oh, you didn't inform me, that's good, I won't go." Ai Ruohua didn't care. Without expectations, she wouldn't be hurt, and she could save money!

Ai Mingshan was the daughter of her uncle's cousin, five years older than Aini. She inherited the beautiful genes of the Ai family and had a good job.

Gao Jingfen was a little discouraged when she saw that she didn't break the other party's defense. Then she rolled her eyes and said again:

"Mingshan is married, what about your Aini? She will be 19 soon. Has she found a boyfriend that satisfies you? I know a few from other places who make good money. Let me introduce you to them!"

Ai Ruohua's mouth curled up slightly. Knowing that this Hudu native cousin looked down on outsiders and deliberately wanted to mock her, she chuckled and said:

"No need, Sister Jingfen. My Aini found a boyfriend in Beidu, he is young and handsome, I am very satisfied with him. "

"Oh? It is not easy to satisfy you, Ruohua, Aini did not go back during the summer vacationAccompanying her boyfriend? "

Gao Jingfen didn't believe it at all. She knew what Ai Ruohua was thinking. A rich family? He really thought his daughter was a fairy in heaven!

"More or less. She studies fashion design, and her boyfriend found a teacher to help her with holiday tutoring."

"Oh, that's quite considerate. But he should be quite rich, right? Why does he let Aini study? Shouldn't she enjoy herself at home?" Gao Jingfen hinted.

"Aini likes to study, so people help her~ Having something to do is better than being bored at home. Maybe after graduation, her boyfriend will help her open a fashion design studio to kill time! ”

If it were in the past, Ai Ruohua might have been calm on the surface and uncomfortable in her heart when hearing these words that were meant to taunt you.

But now, when you really feel that way, you will find that all the rumors and sarcasm are jokes and will not affect your mentality at all.

Gao Jingfen is very familiar with her cousin's strong character since she was a child. Now she can't help but be surprised to see that she didn't fight back. Could it be that Aini really found a rich boyfriend?

Being humiliated everywhere made her more and more angry. After thinking about it, Gao Jingfen simply began to change the subject.

"Ruohua, I'm going to Beidu this time to have a good time for five days arranged by my classmates. It's good to be retired. I don't have to worry about life. I can just play around with my pension.

"They arranged for me to stay in a four-star hotel and didn't let me spend money. They also drove me to the attractions. It's so polite.

"You don't have a job now anyway, why don't you travel with me in Beidu? You can let Aini's boyfriend help you with accommodation and other things! It's right to respect your mother-in-law. "

Gao Jingfen knew that Ai Ruohua had no money, so she deliberately provoked her. The cousin who cared about her reputation would never take the initiative to ask her daughter's boyfriend about this.

Who knew that as soon as the voice fell, she seemed to see a burst of brilliance in her cousin's eyes.

Ai Ruohua was indeed shocked when she heard this, and the drowsiness and irritability caused by the poor sleep quality last night disappeared.

If you say this, then I won't be sleepy!
