Chapter 452: Go to Hell

Liang Yu was very patient; all these years, living under someone else's roof, she relied entirely on stealing to spend money, and there was no money she couldn't steal.

Lying in bed at ten o'clock, she waited patiently until two in the morning.

This was the time when people were in their deepest sleep.

Why did she know this?

Because when she lived at that uncle's house, he was the one who had felt her up at two in the morning.

Everyone who was willing to take care of her had ulterior motives.

Even if this cousin and her husband hadn't made a move on her yet, it was only a matter of time.

In any case, these adults were not good people.

She walked slowly on tiptoe to the cousin's room; the wooden door creaked, and she paused for a moment.

The two people in the room were lying on the bed, motionless; Liang Yu walked in and watched them for a while.

The cousin and her husband really had a good relationship; sometimes Liang Yu quite envied Xiangxiang, as her parents doted on them so much.

Unfortunately, she had never possessed such a plain and happy life.

Scanning the room with her gaze, Liang Yu saw the money box placed at the head of the cousin's husband's bed.

She pinched a few ten-yuan bills out of it, then quietly returned to the small room where she slept.

"What did you go do?" Xiangxiang sat up and asked.

Liang Yu was startled, but she quickly calmed down, "Went to the bathroom."

"Don't lie to me!" Xiangxiang glared at her, "The bathroom is to the right of the door, you came back from the left."

"Went to the kitchen for a drink of tea after coming back from the bathroom," Liang Yu said, lying in bed, her voice dripping with sarcasm, "I know this is your house, are you suspecting me of stealing?"

"Isn't that what you did?" Xiangxiang jumped off the bed and stood at the head of her bed looking at her, "I saw you go into my parents' room just now."

Liang Yu blinked, "So what? Are you going to tell them?"

If she had wanted to say something, she should have called out just now.

Xiangxiang was also thinking about this question, "If I tell Mom and Dad, they will definitely kick you out, and then you won't have a place to live."

"Besides, I don't want Mom and Dad to argue because of you," Xiangxiang said, "Don't take any more in the future; I won't tell them this time."

"I'll be watching you from now on," Xiangxiang added.

"You really are a good daughter!" Liang Yu said, pillowing her head with her arms, "How about I give you half?"

"Fine." This time, Xiangxiang did not refuse.

She even secretly put the twenty yuan she received back into the money box.

From this day on, Xiangxiang discovered that Liang Yu's attitude toward her had changed.

Once there was a secret between two people, their relationship would progress rapidly.

Sometimes Liang Yu would bring her small snacks bought from the school store, and sometimes comic books.

Xiangxiang also slowly grew to like this older sister and often went out to play with her.

Liang Yu also really never took money from the money box again.

She had found another sucker.

That day, Shen Chi blushed and gave her a pair of little white rabbit hairpins.

Liang Yu knew immediately that Shen Chi was the owner of that love letter.

Although he wasn't as handsome as Jiang Sinian, it was clear that his family background should be quite good, as he wore the latest style of sneakers.

She didn't have absolute certainty of winning over Jiang Sinian, so having an extra option was fine too.

She didn't explicitly refuse, just accepted some gifts and gestures.

Shen Chi pursued her very enthusiastically; now his biological parents no longer dared to openly buy him clothes or treat him to meals.

They only contacted him in secret, so he wasn't short of money either.

He no longer pursued those designer shoes; most of his money was spent on the girl he loved.

Every day, as long as he could see Liang Yu's smiling face, Shen Chi felt very satisfied.

He planned to confess to Liang Yu after a little more time.

It just so happened that their academic grades weren't very good; they might not be able to get into high school, so they could get married after graduating from junior high.

Li Xuan was very supportive of her biological son's idea.

Marry early and carry on the family line; while she was still young, she could help take care of her grandchildren.

"Mom, I'll bring you to meet your future daughter-in-law later."

"Good! Mom will be waiting!" At night, Li Xuan quietly left the school.

During this time, she had been keeping an eye out for the little girl she had seen that day while running her stall.

Logically speaking, she should be a student at her son's school, but for some reason, so much time had passed, and she had never seen her again.

She hoped heaven would bless her and let her biological daughter return to her side soon.

Now she and Shen Lan had officially remarried; after that Yan Cuicui divorced Shen Lan, she still came to her stall to make a scene and smashed some of her things.

Li Xuan didn't indulge her either, and the two of them got into a big fight on the street.

At the critical moment of the fight, Li Xuan pulled out her sanitary pad technique, slapped it onto Yan Cuicui's face, and ultimately won by a narrow margin.

After everyone had left, Li Xuan slumped by her stall; she couldn't help but recall the images of middle-aged and elderly women fighting in a tangled mess without regard for their image that she had seen in her youth, and now she had finally become the person she once looked down upon the most.

Time seemed particularly cruel to her, carving her into this shrewish appearance stroke by stroke with a knife.

After a bitter laugh, she began to slowly pack up her things.

She had to sell things to earn money to support herself, her son, and in the future, her daughter.

Liang Yu had intentionally or unintentionally probed into Shen Chi's family situation.

She was somewhat disappointed to learn that his parents only ran a small, ordinary business.

In that case, the gap between him and Jiang Sinian was just too large.

Shen Chi was constantly watching her expression, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her look as usual.

He truly lacked the courage to say that he lived with his foster parents in the Pinminku.

Liang Yu had already crossed him off her list of backup options.

However, she had no heart to focus on romantic matters recently; that day at her cousin's house, she had inadvertently overheard a conversation between her cousin and her cousin's husband.

They already knew about her stealing money.

She hadn't expected Xiangxiang to be so hypocritical, coaxing her to play with her on one hand, while secretly telling her parents about her stealing money on the other.

A hateful two-faced person.

"Xiangxiang, shall we go swimming in a while?" Liang Yu suggested.

Xiangxiang shook her head, "I don't know how."

It had been rainy in Huaiyang during this period, and many small ditches that had previously dried up were now full of water.

Not long ago, a five-year-old boy had even drowned in their area.

"You don't even know how to swim? That's so dangerous if you accidentally fall into the river in the future!" Liang Yu urged her, "I know how, I'll teach you."

"But Mom doesn't let me play near the water..." Xiangxiang hesitated.

Liang Yu's face darkened, "Forget it if you don't want to go."

Then she stopped talking and just lowered her head to read her book.

Xiangxiang didn't want to make her angry, so she had to say, "Sister Yu, don't be unhappy, let's go then!"

Just like that, the two of them went to the riverside.

The riverside was cold and damp in the autumn, and when Xiangxiang put her feet into the water, she shivered from the chill.

Liang Yu had already taken off her coat, wearing only her autumn undershirt, and had already jumped in.

"Xiangxiang, come down!" she shouted, "I'll hold you, it'll be fine."

Seeing how at ease she looked while swimming, Xiangxiang slowly held onto a tree by the riverbank and went down.

"Sister Liang Yu, hurry and grab me!" Xiangxiang's foot slipped, and she felt her body lose its balance.

She hadn't expected that Liang Yu, who had been so gentle just a moment ago, would suddenly change her expression and press her head down, "Go to hell!"
