He Yuan’s cold expression finally softened. He looked at He Jing with warmth in his eyes and said, “Okay, I will pay attention.”

 

He Jing added: “The other thing is that I didn’t bring anything with me when I came back from Cheng’s house. As for clothes, I don’t want to wear Cheng Yi’s clothes. Please help me cushion them first and buy me some clothes.”

 

“This is what it should be.”

 

So, He Yuan exited the room and closed the door for him thoughtfully.

 

He Jing stayed alone in the small bedroom, not sleeping, but wandering around twice.

 

The sheets were newly changed. Although they were washed white, they still smelled like they had been exposed to the sun. There was no trace of dust on the peeling bedside table.

 

Many of the skin care products on the dressing table have been used up, and they are all empty shells. A few cheap stickers are pasted on the table, saying “Come on, come on, come on.” It seems that Cheng Yi followed the Lu Xiaokui route at the He family.

 

There were two large boxes of things in the cardboard box next to the dressing table. When I opened it, I saw that they were all cheap gifts, including stuffed toys and plastic Barbies. He Jing’s eyes lit up when she saw it. Although she had no worries about food and clothing before putting on the books, she still had no worries about food and clothing. No one had ever given her anything like this.

 

A feeling called envy arose faintly.

 

Just as he was thinking this, a very low voice suddenly sounded outside the door. He clearly wanted to avoid someone, but because the house was too small, he couldn’t avoid it, so He Jing heard all the noise clearly.

 

“The family is so poor that we can’t even blame it. The eldest son earned his own tuition. Xiao Ning’s grades are so good, so he definitely can’t drop out of school. Let’s talk to Xiao Jing about this. We are all a family anyway.”

 

“No, Xiaojing has just come back. Wouldn’t it chill her heart to tell her this? Let’s think of a way to avoid disturbing her.”

 

“Mom, let’s think of something else. At worst, I’ll go out and find a part-time job.”

 

“Xiaoyuan, you are already busy enough, why can’t you find a part-time job? Mom is useless and can’t support you.”

 

 

Who would have thought that I would give birth to quintuplets in my lifetime. Except for the eldest brother He Yuan, the second to sixth children were all brothers born at the same time.

 

They really wanted a daughter, so they gritted their teeth and gave birth to He Jing, but they didn’t expect that after taking adequate contraceptive measures, they still got pregnant unexpectedly and gave birth to the youngest He Xiaoguo.

 

Among all the chatter, a clear and solemn voice sounded, it was He Ning: “Come on, I can’t learn this, I’m going to work.”

 

He’s father scolded him: “Don’t talk nonsense, what can you achieve by working part-time?”

 

But there was a “clang” sound on the door, and someone left the house.

 

The entire living room was silent, as if it had entered the dead of winter. He Jing couldn’t help but opened the door and walked out. She saw her parents and three brothers looking at him with sad faces and extremely bleak faces.

 

Then I heard the fourth child He Sui say angrily: “If Xiaoyi was still here, why would there be so many things?”

 

The boss He Yuan immediately stopped and shouted: “Xiao Sui, watch your words!”

 

The current situation cannot be solved by Cheng Yi at all. Poverty is a long-term disaster for this family, and anyone who joins it will only be unfortunate.

 

He Sui was dissatisfied and muttered: “That’s right. We had already agreed with Xiaoyi that as long as she dropped out of school for one year, you would wait for you to graduate and work, and then send her to a better high school to study, but now there is an extra person in the family who can make a living. Yes, I went to an aristocratic school. How can we afford it if we are so poor?”

 

He Yuan’s face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he was unable to refute his words.

 

Suddenly, He Jing laughed, “Puch-“, her beautiful eyes were as dark as grapes.

 

This smile immediately made He Sui’s hair explode, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, his eyes spitting fire, and he said angrily: “What are you laughing at?”
