however, lu self-esteem’s salary could only support the family’s survival. it was not easy to save money. however, three years ago, yan juan’s lower abdomen kept hurting. when she went to the hospital for a checkup, she found a tumor in her uterus.

when yan juan found the tumor in her uterus, it was already very big. she had to undergo hysterectomies under the doctor’s advice. the operation cost twenty to thirty thousand yuan. part of it was reimbursed, but it also cost the little savings at home.

spending all her savings wasn’t the most disheartened thing for yan juan. what really made her sad was that after the operation, she was getting on in age and could no longer satisfy lu self-esteem.

if a couple did not get along in bed, it would affect their relationship.

last year, the shipping company that lu zhongyi worked for closed down, and lu zhongyi lost his job.

they had problems with their relationship, lost their jobs, and had a daughter who had to study. lu zizun was anxious for a while, and he used wine to numb himself day and night.

in the past year, he had been drinking and gambling outside. yan juan knew all of this, but she didn’t dare to say a word.

after lu zizun finished cursing, he picked up his chopsticks and took a few more bites.

the bathroom door suddenly opened, and lu zizun looked over.

a young girl in a suit and pajamas walked out.

this girl was not lu jingjing, but lu yinxi.

four years ago, grandma lu passed away from an illness, and lu yinxi moved into her second uncle’s house. she knew that her second uncle’s family was not well off, and the savings her parents had left for her was only enough for her to study until she graduated from high school.

in the future, she would have to earn her own money for her college tuition and living expenses.

lu yinxi hadn’t bought a single piece of clothing in the past few years. she only spent some money on school supplies, undergarments, and physiological supplies.

the clothes lu yinxi was wearing were all things that lu jingjing had worn and discarded. this dress looked ordinary on his daughter, but on his niece, it was a few levels higher.

this niece of hers was even more beautiful than her mother!

lu zizun’s eyes lit up, and some vague and shameless thoughts flashed through his mind. he shook his head to get rid of those thoughts. then, he asked lu yinxi, ” yinxi, where’s your sister? ”

the young girl looked up at lu zhongyi. at 14 years old, she was very pretty. her teary eyes were like those of an elk.

lu yinxi said, ” my sister went on an autumn outing with her friends. ” seeing that lu zizai’s face was a little red, she asked him, ” second uncle, did you drink again? ”

lu zeyang’s eyes darkened. he ignored the question and asked, ” where’s your aunt? ”

lu yinxi didn’t know why, but her second uncle’s gaze made her a little afraid.

she pointed to the master bedroom and said, ” auntie is not feeling well. i think she has a headache. she’s sleeping. ” while they were cooking, yan juan kept saying that she had a headache. lu yinxi took the initiative to cook for yan juan after she finished her homework.

“oh.” lu ziqing’s expression seemed a little disappointed. lu yinxi couldn’t guess what he was disappointed about.

lu zengyang picked up his chopsticks again and ate a cold pig liver. ” the pig liver is too old to even bite. your aunt’s cooking is getting worse and worse. ”

her second uncle complained about her aunt’s various discomforts all day long. lu yinxi had heard it so many times that she was used to it.

her aunt was already used to this, so what could she do if she didn’t like it?

living under someone else’s roof, lu yinxi could only bear with it many times.

she went back to her room and dried her wet hair. then, she took the basin to wash today’s clothes, hung them up, and went back to her room to read.

the lu family’s house was not big. it had three bedrooms and two living rooms, with the master bedroom being the largest. lu jingjing’s room was second in size. it could fit a bed, a bedside table, and a wardrobe.

lu yinxi’s room was a guest room. it could only fit a 1.2-meter bed and a small double-door wardrobe.

lu yinxi turned on the small table lamp at the head of the bed and opened her textbook to prepare for tomorrow’s study. after the preparation, he took out his exercise book to do the questions.

lu yinxi’s grades weren’t top-notch. students nowadays always had an endless supply of supplementary lessons and interest classes after school.

those with good grades were still working hard. lu yinxi, who didn’t have good grades and didn’t have money for tuition, could only work harder.

the next morning, after lu yinxi got up, she saw yan juan cooking noodles. she helped to wash a few vegetables and cook them. she ate a bowl of noodles with some shredded meat and vegetables, then jogged to school.

the school had a school bus, and it charged an extra 800 yuan for each semester. lu yinxi tried to save as much as she could.

lu yinxi was studying at a public school. binjiang city was huge and had a large population. there were nearly 20 junior high schools in the city. the best public high school was no. 1 high school, while the private one was xiangjiang international college.

lu yinxi was studying at sunset junior high school, which was the closest to her home.

there were three grades in junior high, and each grade had eight classes. lu yinxi was in class six, and lu jingjing was in class five. when lu yinxi arrived at the school gate, she saw lu jingjing and a few friends.

after the autumn outing ended yesterday, lu jingjing stayed at her classmate’s house. she didn’t even change out of her school uniform today.

when she saw lu yinxi, lu jingjing waved at her and asked, ” where are my clothes? ”

“here.”

after lu yinxi handed the clothes she was carrying to lu jingjing, she quickly ran to the classroom.

when lu jingjing’s classmate saw that lu yinxi had run far away, he said to lu jingjing, ” does your sister run to school every morning to study? ”

“yes.” although lu jingjing didn’t like lu yinxi, she didn’t hate her either. the main reason was that lu yinxi was too timid when she was young, so the two of them couldn’t get along.

her friend asked, ” why didn’t she take the school bus? ”

“the school bus charges 800 yuan per semester.”

“she doesn’t even have 800 yuan?” his friends had never seen such a poor person.

after all, she was her little sister. lu jingjing was still a little unhappy when she heard her friends say that about her little sister.

she stopped smiling and said to her friend, ” don’t say that about her. after her parents died, she didn’t have much money left. our family can’t help her much, so she has to save some money.”

seeing that lu jingjing was about to get angry, the friend also knew when to stop.

every day before class, lu yinxi and the others had 20 minutes of morning self-study time. there were five days in a week, three days for chinese and two days for english.
