When Wu Nan saw her daughter nestling happily in Niu Bi's arms, a trace of relief and loneliness flashed in her eyes. She thought back to when she was young, she was also a flower that everyone loved, but an unfortunate incident made her pregnant with an illegitimate child. Out of maternal greatness, Wu Nan severed ties with her family, came to the slums, and gave birth to Wu Yuyan. The originally happy life turned into misfortune. Her daughter was born unable to speak and had no source of income. Finally, Wu Nan had no choice but to work as a cleaner, relying on the meager income every month to support the mother and daughter.
As the saying goes, there are many troubles in front of a widow's door. Wu Nan, a woman with a child and beautiful, naturally attracted the covetousness of many perverts. But at this time, it was Niu Xin who stepped forward and broke the legs of five or six hooligans with a shovel, shocking everyone. Since then, Wu Nan has developed a sense of closeness and dependence on Niu Bi's family. Later, Niu Bi and Wu Yuyan's closeness made Wu Nan feel gratified. But at this moment, seeing Wu Yuyan's happiness, she felt envy and jealousy for no reason, but in the end she could only turn into incomparable loneliness and sadness for her life.
Wu Nan chopped the roast goose and ate it with Wu Yuyan with steamed buns, pickles, and millet porridge, which was particularly sweet.
Wu Nan works as a cleaner, earning only a little over 1,000 yuan a month, which is pitifully small. Now a small steamed bun costs 50 cents, and an egg costs about 2 yuan each. Not to mention meat, which is extremely expensive. They can only eat steamed buns, pickles, and millet porridge every day. Over time, the mother and daughter are malnourished and weak. If it weren't for the occasional help from Niu Bi's family, the mother and daughter would have collapsed long ago.
A roast goose worth dozens of yuan, the mother and daughter haven't eaten it for a long time. Fortunately, Niu Bi has been a loader for two years and has earned a little money. He will send some meat from time to time. Compared with two years ago, the mother and daughter are in a pretty good situation.
Niu Bi sat on the double bed made of broken bricks and wooden boards. When her buttocks were slightly lifted, it made a creaking sound. She frowned and said, "Aunt Wu, the wooden board is not very strong. It's time to change it."
Wu Nan drank a mouthful of millet porridge and smiled bitterly, "It's okay. I put two rows of bricks underneath, so I can sleep."
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
"Oh." Niu Bi held the edge of the door with both hands and stood up, "Aunt Wu, Yuyan, you eat, I'm going back."
Wu Nan and Wu Yuyan stood up quickly, "Bibi, why are you so anxious? Sit for a while!"
Wu Yuyan also pulled Niu Bi's arm, gesturing with both hands, with a pleading look on her face.
Niu Bi touched Wu Yuyan's face and smiled, "It's not like I won't come. Be obedient. I'll go back and come back later."
Wu Yuyan blinked her innocent big eyes and gestured, "Really?"
"Really." Niu Bi nodded, "I'll be back in an hour at most."
After getting the guarantee, Wu Yuyan smiled and let go of her hand. Niu Bi touched her face again, turned to Wu Nan and said, "Auntie Wu, you guys eat slowly, I'll come back later."
"Then you eat slowly, Auntie Wu won't see you off." Knowing that Niu Bi would come back later, Wu Nan didn't try to keep her.
"What do you want to send me? Eat your food, I'm leaving." Niu Bi smiled and left.
In the second-hand market, Niu Bi pointed to an old double wooden bed and said to a boss in his forties, "100, if it's okay, I'll take it away, if it's not okay, forget it."
"Young man, you're giving too little! This bed can't be sold for less than 200." The middle-aged boss said with a bitter face.
"Sell it or not? If not, I'm leaving." Niu Bi turned and left.
Seeing Niu Bi walk five or six meters, the middle-aged boss finally couldn't help shouting: "Okay, I'm afraid of you, I'll sell it to you for 100 yuan!"
Niu Bi stopped, turned around and laughed: "Deal, help me transport it home!"
"What? You think it's worth it for me to transport your broken bed home?" The middle-aged boss was anxious.
"Will you transport it?" Niu Bi took out a red old man's head and waved it back and forth, which made the middle-aged boss' heart itch.
"I'm afraid of you, let's make a deal first, it can't exceed three kilometers, otherwise you will have to pay for the gas." The middle-aged boss said.
Niu Bi handed the middle-aged boss a hundred yuan and laughed: "Don't worry, it's less than two kilometers, load it!"
"It's not easy to make this money." The middle-aged boss sighed, asked the helper to move the bed onto the truck, and followed Niu Bi to deliver the wooden bed to Wu Yuyan's doorstep.
When Wu Nan saw the wooden bed being moved down, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes: "Bibi, what are you doing?"
Niu Bi smiled and put the bed into the house: "Aunt Wu, this bed is second-hand and relatively sturdy. You and Yuyan sleep on it first. When I make a lot of money in the future, I will buy a new bed for you to sleep on."
"Bibi, you...what do you want Aunt Wu to say..." Wu Nan was very moved.
"What to say! We are all family." Niu Bi smiled, looked at Wu Yuyan with sparkling eyes, and touched her face: "Yuyan, Brother Bi can't buy a new bed for you to sleep on now. In the future, Brother Bi will not only buy a big house for you to live in, but also buy a brand new big bed for you to sleep on, okay?"
