The uncle's family wanted to occupy all the family property, so they regarded Xu Yuan as a thorn in their side.

It was hard for them to say or do anything in front of their grandparents, but when they saw her, they felt uncomfortable.

This damn girl, not only got half of the property out of thin air, but also wants to eat theirs and use theirs, why?

It was hard for them to do anything, but they just went with the flow and did not restrain Xu Wei.

Xu Wei is four years older than Xu Yuan. The two children have lived together since childhood. There has been a lot of competition and little fights.

Later, Xu Yuan had no support, and Xu Wei became acutely aware that her parents didn't like Xu Yuan either, so she began to bully her cousin.

At first, I tried it out, but found that my grandparents had no reaction. Gradually, I became bolder and became more and more aggressive.

As for this kind of game between children, grandparents really don't care. They think it's just children quarreling and fighting, nothing serious.

As a result, Xu Yuan's situation at home became increasingly difficult.

She had to help with a lot of housework. Later, she had to prepare ingredients every day, wash them, cut them, and string them into skewers, which she would use when selling barbecue at night.

The uncle and aunt ordered Xu Yuan around as a matter of course, because nominally, they were the ones supporting her.

But in fact, the work Xu Yuan does every day is equivalent to that of an employee.

During the compulsory education stage, tuition and book fees are free. Because of her special situation, the school also provided her with living expenses subsidies, but the money was directly taken away by her uncle.

So what the uncle's family calls "support" really means that they only have a mouthful of food to eat, which is what the aunt sells left over every day.

She was wearing a school uniform and her cousin's old clothes that were too small, and she was using her cousin's discarded schoolbag and pencil case.

These are hard enough, but what makes her most desperate is that she knows that after graduating from junior high school, she will at most not go to school after graduating from vocational high school!

Even if she gets into high school, no one will support her. Her uncle's family will not let her go to a school that costs money.

The aunt kept telling her:

"Xiaoyuan, it's not that my uncles and aunts don't love you, it's just that we, ordinary people, live from hand to mouth, and we really can't afford two children!

"You, after graduating from junior high school, you will come back to help sell barbecue. In a few years, you will find a good family to marry, and you will have everything."

When Xu Yuan heard this, she lowered her head and said nothing. After a long time, she nodded.

Of course she also wants to take the high school entrance examination and go to college like other classmates.

However, she has no right to ask her uncles and aunts to pay for her tuition and living expenses. They have no such obligation.

However, the future described by the aunt made her feel that there was no hope in life.

A girl who graduated from junior high school, has no parents, no job, and nothing, how does she rely on to achieve happiness?

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, she burst into tears.

After hearing this, Qingyu was shocked and speechless.

While she was enjoying the pampering of her parents and not having to worry about anything, her classmates were living such a difficult and hopeless life.

She thought for a long time, but still didn't know how to help Xu Yuan. This was something beyond the ability of a junior high school student.

She could only try to comfort Xu Yuan and try her best to help her in every way she could think of.

From then on, if the class assigned any tasks that required her to go home late, Qingyu would help Xu Yuan complete some tasks so that she could go home early to avoid being embarrassed by her cousin again.

She sometimes buys some delicious food and goes to Xu Yuan's house as a guest, chatting and laughing with Xu Yuan's grandparents. She feels that if guests come all the time, Xu Yuan's family may be more restrained in doing things because they care about their appearance.

She will pay attention to what stationery items Xu Yuan is missing, and then buy one or get a new one from home, giving it to her as naturally as possible without hurting her self-esteem.

For example, if she wanted to give Xu Yuan a new schoolbag, she would say:

"I said my schoolbag was old and I wanted to replace it. But my parents each bought me one. Now I have an extra one. Please help me use one up."

She saw that Xu Yuan's sneakers were worn out, so she casually asked her shoe size while chatting, and bought a pair for her:

"My cousin gave it to me, but she remembered it wrong and bought one size smaller. I can't fit it. Can you try it and see if you can fit it?"

Of course it’s just right to wear it.

Qingyu looked very happy: "What you wear just suits you, so go ahead and wear it. Fortunately, there is no waste."

Obviously she wanted to help Xu Yuan, but every time she said she wanted Xu Yuan to help her so that Xu Yuan could accept it with peace of mind.

Qingyu lives a happy life herself, and hopes that others can live as happily as she does.

The two girls were originally just casual acquaintances. But because of Xu Yuan's secret and Qingyu's help, the relationship between the two became much closer and they became friends.

One time, it was Xu Yuan's group's turn to run a blackboard newspaper, and it was very late when they finished.

Qingyu was worried that Xu Wei would embarrass Xu Yuan about preparing food again, so she insisted on sending her home.

Fengxian Street is an old small street with few street lights and dim light.

After Qingyu took a few steps, he stumbled. After taking a few more steps, he stumbled again.

Xu Yuan was puzzled: "What's wrong with you today? Why are you stumbling all the time?"

Qingyu smiled nonchalantly: "I have night blindness. I can't see clearly in places with bad light. Please hold me up."

"Oh." Xu Yuan quickly supported her, very carefully.

But there is a secret sense of balance in my heart: It turns out that Qingyu is not good at everything, she also has flaws!

After sending Xu Yuan home, Qingyu chatted with Xu Yuan's grandparents for a few words and then left.

Xu Yuan caught up with her and sent her to a brightly lit place on the street outside.

At that time, Qingyu thought that she had helped Xu Yuan and gained a friendship.

She is popular in the class and has no shortage of friends. But she is very happy when she can help others.

At that time, she believed that people's hearts can be exchanged for people's hearts, and what she gained by giving goodwill would also be goodwill.

But life dealt her a heavy blow.

It was a winter evening, Qingyu was doing homework in her room, with a fruit plate washed by her mother on hand for her to supplement her nutrition when she was tired from studying.

Suddenly, the mobile phone in the drawer rang.

Qingyu took out her mobile phone and saw that it was a local unknown number. She picked it up anyway: "Hello."

Xu Yuan's anxious and crying voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Qingyu, can you come over? I just helped my cousin wash her newly bought clothes, but they were accidentally dyed. I, I ran out and didn't dare to go home!"

When Qingyu heard this, she felt very angry:

Why does Xu Yuan still need to help her cousin wash the clothes? If the clothes are ruined, she won’t dare to go home for fear of being beaten!

Qingyu immediately agreed: "I'll find you right away. Where are you now? Whose phone is this?"

Xu Yuan replied:

"I borrowed my neighbor's cell phone to call you, and I will return it immediately.

"I don't dare to stay on the street. I'm going to wait for you in the house on the left on the first floor of the second unit of the second building in the south, okay?"

"Are these the buildings being demolished?" Qingyu confirmed.

"Yes, there are no lights here, remember to bring a flashlight." Xu Yuan warned.
