I'll tell you something that you might not believe, and that is I have been secretly studying and learning. I have bought many books and whenever I have time, I read. When did this habit start? It started after Old Yu died.
I have always been reading randomly, and in this not-so-wise action, I have learned a lot of things I never knew. Through books, I have seen a bigger world.
I feel like I am also changing imperceptibly.
Jonas treats me like a treasure. I know he is grateful to me for helping Betty out of trouble. He is sometimes so sincere that it makes you doubt life, feeling like every action you take is a test, adding an invisible mental pressure to yourself.
I enjoy spending time with him, which allows me to have a more down-to-earth understanding of the lives of the lower class in society. The idea of changing my destiny has become increasingly firm and clear in my mind.
Later, I had another in-depth conversation with Betty's mother, who is also her stepmother. This was necessary and unavoidable. I have no way to change it, so I just have to accept it.
"Dear child, I am very happy that you and Betty can be together, and I believe that you truly love each other. I bless you both, my children!"
"Oh, come on, ma'am, after this, we might as well be family. It's really unnecessary for you to say that. I love Betty very much, and I am willing to make sacrifices for her. I will treat her well. I've probably said this a hundred times already, and I'm tired of hearing it. I bet you're not tired of it, though!"
"Hahahaha... Selena's laughter is quite eerie, she must be a very calculating woman.
"I just love hearing that phrase. I could listen to it a hundred more times and still not get enough. As long as you say it, I'll love listening. If possible, it's best to add a time limit to it. I hope it's for a lifetime, my child!"
"Hahahahahaha..."
"You really worry a lot for your daughter!"
"Xiao Bei! You know that our family's situation is very bad, and you also know about Betty's situation. Her going out to earn this money is also a forced move. If you take her away now and be with her, our family's income will be cut off again, isn't it? So..." I decisively interrupted her from continuing, this is what I expected, and finally it has come true today.
"You don't need to say it, I understand, I understand! You know we also need to live, my own service fee is not much, but rest assured, I will discuss with Betty to set aside a portion of the fee each month for you and the children to use, I have a plan for this!"
"Okay, okay, that's good, child! But I have one more thing, you have to help me with."
"You say, as long as I can do it!"
"I gave them 500 rubles to find this job for Betty, it's my only savings. You can't tell Jonas, he will be upset and we will have another fight. Every time Betty takes a client, they also take a cut, so they are making money. And that pervert thing, it's their fault, not ours. Now that Betty has found a place, I want that money back. She was not old enough at the time, so they wouldn't have given her the job if I hadn't given them the money! Can you understand?"
Zhang Xiaobei muttered to himself, feeling that he didn't understand the woman in front of him, and she still had the nerve to talk about this matter! She's really not a real mother! How many things does Jonas not know about this woman! He couldn't understand how, in such a predicament, she could still come up with 500 rubles. He really couldn't understand what she was up to, maybe that's her only savings, it's possible!"
"Does Betty know about this?" I asked.
"She doesn't know! You know I have no choice. The two of them, father and daughter, will definitely disagree, but the child needs to live, we all need to live. I have no choice, my dear!"
"Okay, I'll go and try my best to bring it back for you!"
"You are a good kid. With you, Betty will be happy!"
