The two of them were in a mess.
He took off his down jacket and gave it to her, but she refused. Jiang Xue forced her to put it on and urged her, "Come home with me first."
Jiang Xue took Yu Juan back to her home and made her a bowl of noodles.
Yu Juan ate the noodles and her tears fell into the bowl.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Xue asked.
Yu Juan put down the bowl and said, "I don't want to go back to that home, but I don't know where to go."
"You stay at my place tonight."
"But what about the future? What are your plans?" Jiang Xue asked.
"I... don't know." Yu Juan said and lowered her head in frustration.
"You said you don't want to go back. When you have the idea of escaping, remember your disappointment at the moment. Don't forget that their hurt and indifference to you will not change because of your success and satisfaction of their needs. Never try to change a pair of parents, so once you want to escape from your original family, then be a little cruel and stop thinking that it is your home. During the whole process, they may say soft words, persuade you, pretend to care about you, and kidnap you by blood relationship. If you are soft-hearted and believe them, they will immediately show their true colors, and your short-term struggle is like a rebellion, which can't change anything, so we have to give up expectations from the source."
Yes, we.
These words are said to Yu Juan on the surface, but they are also said to herself.
She feels that she is a very stable person.
But every time she sees her parents, accuses, questions, and wants an answer, her emotions jump back and forth on the edge of an explosion.
After the awakening of self-awareness, everyone knows to escape from the original family, but this process is dragging and tugging.
Hope, disappointment, despair, step by step.
It was agreed that I would give up and let it go, but I would break down again next time.
I hated myself for being like this.
Now through Yu Juan, her heart suddenly became clear at this moment.
She remembered a sentence she had seen before, that adults can only screen, not educate.
So for her parents, she decided not to hate them anymore.
She would not take the initiative to contact them.
Whether right or wrong, she would not argue with them about whether they were biased or loved her.
Treat them as strangers with blood relations.
If there is a legal obligation to provide support in the future, she is willing to take responsibility.
Extra, in this life, she will not let them gain any benefits from her.
If you can't love each other, then stay away.
"Xiaoxue, thank you so much. No one has ever said these words to me, nor have I heard anyone else say them, including Qiuxia who advised me to leave. The other party is your parents, and there are no parents in the world. Only you advised me to leave, and I will stay away from them! I will try my best to do what you said above! Remind myself all the time that I want to live for myself, and if I don't have a home, I don't have a home! I will work hard to make money and build a home for myself."
"Yes, work hard to make money and buy myself ten or eight homes!"
Late in the winter night, the two cried and laughed, spoke boldly, and took a new step in life.

Jiang Xue still rented the one-bedroom apartment she rented at the beginning. The apartment was not big, and the bed was not big either, so after sleeping for a day, Yu Juan said apologetically, seeing that Jiang Xue did not sleep very comfortably, "They took all my money, but I took my ID with me when I left. Can you lend me some money first? I'll rent a house nearby."
"Maybe I need to borrow more. I'll buy some things and go to the surrounding construction sites and schools today to see if there is a market for boxed lunches." Yu Juan did not dare to look at Jiang Xue when she said these words. She felt ashamed to borrow money from others, but she was penniless and everything was empty.
"I rented a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment for my brother before. He lives with a friend now, and there should be another room. If you don't mind that my brother and his friend are both boys, you can go and live there for a while. It's free. Anyway, it's empty anyway, and you can live there until you find a suitable place to live." After the shipments began to increase, Liu Qinglin rented a new office on the first floor to facilitate the entry and exit of goods, so the three-bedroom apartment he rented at the beginning still had one room vacant.
"Or I can lend you money and you can rent a house nearby. You can make your own decision." If she lives with him, besides the small bed, she needs a relatively quiet environment to study every day, and she may go to bed late, and she is worried that it will affect Yu Juan.
In addition, she knows Yu Juan. Even if she lends her money, she probably won't be willing to rent a house with a kitchen for her own living, given the prices of goods and houses nearby.
A house where she can continue to make lunch boxes.
His brother's house has a big kitchen.
It is equipped with kitchenware, range hood and electrical appliances.
He and Chen Hua went back to sleep, and the kitchen was used at most to cook noodles.
So Jiang Xue brought it up when Yu Juan said she wanted to find a house.
Yu Juan thought about it. She was penniless now. If there was a free house, she would subconsciously choose one, but considering that both of the people living with her were men, she was a little hesitant.
"I'll look for a house myself first. If there's nothing suitable, I'll live with your brother!"
"Don't rush to make a decision. I need to go back to my hometown in a few days. It will probably take more than a week. You can stay until I come back. Before I leave, we can just make do with each other for a few days."
Jiang Xue's words did not comfort Yu Juan, but made her feel that she had to speed up her house search.
Otherwise, Jiang Xue would go back to her hometown, and it would be inconvenient and uncomfortable for her to live alone in Jiang Xue's house.
Jiang Xue took out a thousand yuan from her wallet and handed it to her first: "This is all I have on hand now. I'll get it for you later."
"Thank you." Yu Juan took it.
Jiang Xue went to the cram school, and Yu Juan went to look for a house.
For a whole day, she ran around and looked at many houses nearby. The rent was several times higher than her previous rental.
The cheap houses were so small that it was difficult to turn around, and they also shared the kitchen and bathroom with others.
And there were both men and women living in the house.
Houses with separate kitchens were too expensive.
So after only one day of looking, Yu Juan came back and said to Jiang Xue: "Can I go to the house where your brother lives?"
Jiang Xue had already greeted her brother in advance.
Yu Juan asked this question, and Jiang Xue took her there directly.
Seeing the big kitchen, Chen Hua and Liu Weilin didn't look like bad people.
The most important thing is that neither of them will use the kitchen. If she moves in, this kitchen will be hers.
She asked about the price of the room and said that she was willing to pay one-third of the rent.
"It's okay. You are my sister's friend. My sister has also briefly told me about your situation. You can live here peacefully. When you can make money in the future, you can share the burden with us." Liu Qinglin said generously, and Chen Hua nodded in agreement.
"Thank you." Yu Juan thanked them. Facing the kindness and help of several people, she couldn't help crying again.
"By the way, have you decided when to go back for the exam? Do you want me to accompany you?" Seeing Yu Juan's embarrassment, Liu Qinglin turned the topic to his sister.
