Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Li Jianjia's question struck straight at the essence of the problem.

Zhao Xintong could not answer.

Because she knew, the truth spoken aloud often hurts deeply.

She was ten years younger than Li Zhongxian; when she originally chose to marry Li Zhongxian, it was not because she loved Li Zhongxian, but because Li Zhongxian was a member of the System.

She had set her sights on Li Zhongxian's Civil Servant status, not on Li Zhongxian himself.

And the reason Li Zhongxian embarked on the path of corruption and bribery was, to a large extent, also due to Zhao Xintong's tangible and intangible pressure.

Because he wanted to keep Zhao Xintong, he had to provide her with sufficiently abundant material conditions.

And obtaining material conditions requires the Economy as a means.

A Civil Servant's salary is not high to begin with; to satisfy Zhao Xintong's economic needs, naturally he could only resort to crooked ways.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on Zhao Xintong; Li Zhongxian himself also bears part of the responsibility.

He could not withstand temptation; in the great Dye Vat he only busied himself with Human Relations, unable to hold fast to his original resolve, and thus fell step by step.

"Answer me, am I and my dad both less important than money!"

Li Jianjia grew excited, nearly shouting.

The more Zhao Xintong failed to answer, the more she wanted a definite reply.

"Am I even less important than that little dwarf compared to your own mother?"

Zhao Xintong could not answer, only retorting coldly, changing the subject.

She even turned around and accused:

"I really raised you for nothing; you won't help your own mother, you go help an outsider?"

Zhao Xintong was truly adept at finding angles for rebuttal.

However, Li Jianjia was no fool either.

She said directly:

"I only want to help my dad get a reduced sentence; you won't even help your own husband, you ran abroad to live it up?"

Zhao Xintong, rebutted by Li Jianjia, gritted her teeth:

"Fine, fine, fine, you're unwilling to communicate properly with me, is that it? Then forget it; you won't listen to your mother, you'll have plenty to regret later!"

Having said this, Zhao Xintong actively hung up the phone.

Li Jianjia stared at her Mobile Phone, stunned for a good while.

She had never imagined that one day she and her mother would be at daggers drawn.

Immediately she thought of something, hurriedly ran out of the Subway Station, hailed a cab near the Airport, and headed straight for her Hometown in the County Town.

The Household Register should still be back at the Hometown; she had to rush back and get it in hand, otherwise if her mother took it, she would have no way to register her Marriage with Wang Xiaohua.

Because it was currently the National Day return-trip Peak hour, everywhere in Guangzhou City was jammed; the drive from the Airport back to the County Town normally only needed about an hour and a half, but because of the Traffic Jam it took a full three hours to return to the County Town.

All along this road, Li Jianjia was frantic with Anxiety.

The time had already reached midnight twelve o'clock, yet she still had not the slightest drowsiness.

Just as she arrived at the Door of her Hometown Residential complex in the County Town, she hurriedly paid the Bus Fare, then ran inside with Quick Steps.

At the fastest speed, she returned home.

But the moment she reached her front Door, she discovered the Seal Strip pasted on the Door had already been torn open, and before she even opened the door, light leaked out from the crack of the household door.

Li Jianjia froze.

She knew her mother Zhao Xintong must have returned a step earlier than her.

After hesitating a while, she ultimately chose to open the door.

Her Finger pressed the Fingerprint Lock; the door had just opened when she discovered her mother Zhao Xintong standing at the Door.

Mother and daughter, just like that, faced each other eye to eye.

They were silent for a full several seconds.

Neither spoke a word.

Li Jianjia had not expected Zhao Xintong would come back here.

Zhao Xintong had not expected Li Jianjia would come back here.

"Mom……"

In the end it was still Li Jianjia who broke the Silence.

She discovered her mother had aged far more than before.

Before, her mother had maintained herself very well; when mother and daughter went Shopping, anyone who looked would still think they were two sisters.

But now the Wrinkles on Zhao Xintong's face were very obvious, especially the crow's feet at the Corner of her Eyes.

One could see that these days she had probably also endured no small amount of mental pressure.

"You still have the nerve to call me Mom, what did you run back here for?"

Zhao Xintong's temper was somewhat irritable, completely unlike that previous gentle, patient, virtuous mother Image.

One can only say, good tempers are all raised by economic conditions.

Economic prosperity naturally brings spiritual prosperity; spiritual prosperity naturally brings tolerance and magnanimity.

And economic straits, spending a few Yuan requires Internal Consumption, so naturally one cannot be gentle, cannot have patience.

Now that Zhao Xintong had lost Li Zhongxian's support, although she had taken a not small amount of money, the mental pressure still suppressed her so she could not breathe, and moreover she could not get her daughter's support, so her inner heart naturally became anxious and uneasy.

"I came back to get the Household Register, the Postgraduate Entrance Examination requires the Household Register to handle procedures."

Li Jianjia lowered her head, told a lie.

"I see you want to take the Household Register to marry that little dwarf!"

Zhao Xintong saw through Li Jianjia's lie at a glance, and even insulted:

"Middle of the night running back to get the Household Register, you really thought of it!"

Li Jianjia took a deep breath, to control her inner heart's emotion:

"Mom, you give me the Household Register, I still have to go back to School, tomorrow morning I have class."

"Won't give, not a chance!" Zhao Xintong decisively refused, and also said:

"Tomorrow you go with me to Hong Kong, then we fly from Hong Kong to the United States!"

Li Jianjia smiled bitterly:

"I haven't even gotten a Permit, how do you expect me to go to Hong Kong with you?"

Zhao Xintong however said:

"Don't need a Permit, I asked a friend to find a snakehead, that snakehead will take us across!"

"Smuggling? Are you crazy!" Li Jianjia's face full of disbelief.

Zhao Xintong however said:

"Not smuggling, would Customs let me go out?"

"You came back also by smuggling?" Li Jianjia looked at Zhao Xintong, felt this woman before her eyes was very strange.

"Of course, for you I took a huge risk coming back, tomorrow you must go with me!"

Zhao Xintong put the words plainly.

She wanted to take Li Jianjia away together.

As for Li Jianjia's feelings, she couldn't care less.

"I won't go with you."

Li Jianjia also put the words plainly.

And also said:

"You give me the Household Register, otherwise I'll Report to Police, once I Report to Police, you won't be able to leave again."

Zhao Xintong hearing this, furious to death.

"How did I raise such a White-eyed Wolf!"

Li Jianjia indifferent, only said:

"Mom, don't push me."

Zhao Xintong had no choice, finally Compromised.

Took out the Household Register she had already put in her bag, coldly threw it on the ground.

Li Jianjia bent down picked up the Household Register, then Turned Around and left.

At this moment, from behind came Zhao Xintong's voice:

"Daughter, it's all For your own good, why don't you understand Mom's heart!"

Li Jianjia froze at the Door.

Zhao Xintong shouted again:

"In this world money is more important than anything, without money Difficult to Move an Inch, could it be you're willing to live a hard life forever!"

Li Jianjia Turned Around, looked at her mother, very seriously said:

"Living a hard life is better than spending a Lifetime in constant fear. Mom, I hope you understand, money is very important, but not as important as you imagine."

Finished speaking, Li Jianjia Turned Around and left.
