Chapter 291: If You Don’t Leave, I Won’t Abandon ④
“Tu…” Nie Qiu murmured, looking at the shattered jade on the ground.
Tu…
So that’s how it is…
So the rabbit with the blood-red mouth she saw in her dream was Tu…
She only felt discomfort. Tu was a life formed by the gathering of spirits. Once the jade shattered, the spirit was gone. Nie Qiu knew that without Tu, their family’s life wouldn’t have become as good as it was now. She would still have to follow Nie Aifang out to set up a stall every night, and Nie Aifang would still be busy all the time.
Nie Aifang now, because she was resting well, no longer had such a haggard look on her face, and her skin had improved a lot from not staying up late.
It had to be said that Nie Aifang was only thirty-eight, turning thirty-nine this year, and not yet forty, yet she had the appearance of someone nearly fifty before. For Nie Aiwen, a refined middle-aged man, to still like her when she looked like that, it meant it was true love. Now that Nie Aifang’s skin had improved so much, she was willing to use some of the skincare products like Dabao and Baicao that Nie Aiwen bought.
Nie Aiwen was smart. He had understood Nie Aifang’s personality since he was young and naturally knew her frugal nature. Therefore, he wouldn’t buy those set skincare products advertised on television for Nie Aifang. Instead, he bought skincare products that the whole family could use, and Nie Aifang didn’t reject them.
Nie Qiu squatted down, picked up the gold chain, and threw it onto the bed. Then, she gently picked up the jade, even the pieces shattered into rice-sized bits, and she carefully collected them. She placed the light green jade on the cabinet and then sat on the bed beside it.
“Tu, thank you.”
All words seemed a bit pale and weak, only this one “thank you.”
She wanted to go to America to study.
Actually, in her previous life, she had the opportunity to study abroad, but… after she lost hope in America, she gave up.
But in this life, she wanted to study in America. When she was young, she was naive and worked hard, wanting to gain her parents’ attention and approval. However, her parents weren’t around, so they wouldn’t say “you’re doing so well, so good” or “you’re not doing well, you should do this.” It was only when she got good grades that a teacher’s affirming glance felt incredibly warm, so she thought she must also become a teacher with a warm smile.
With such an ideal, she naively went to the office to ask the teacher how to become a teacher.
The teacher at that time said that she had to study very hard and become a class leader. She had to get into a good junior high school, high school, and university.
So from elementary school all the way to graduating with a doctorate and becoming a professor, she had always worked very hard. From elementary to junior high, she always felt the teacher was right; she had to work hard, get into a good school, and become a good teacher. When she entered high school and became sensible, she realized that as long as she worked hard in high school and got into a normal university, she could become a teacher.
But at that time, studying had already become her habit and an obsession. She studied diligently, covering a wide range of subjects, and slowly progressed from graduate student to doctorate, and then to professor… Society, power, money, and ostentation made her forget her original intention. She slowly began teaching with the purpose of making money, forgetting that what she truly wanted most was to be a teacher with a warm smile.
