After a long time, Hu Yu smiled bitterly and said,""When I first came to Beijing, I still had some money. I was living quite freely. At that time, I was working as an accountant. I just wanted to find a man in Beijing and settle down in this city. At that time, I was also willing to pay 15,000 yuan to a high-end matchmaking agency. I wanted to find a better man. After all, it had been nearly ten years since the divorce and I came to Beijing. For the sake of my son, I never looked for him.”
"Yes, I understand. And then?" Ding Nan asked.
"My current boyfriend, Wang Bo, was introduced to me by that high-end matchmaking agency. He was the same age as me. At that time, he was a manager in a private company. He was from Shunyi, Beijing. Actually, after we got to know each other for a long time, I found out that when we first met, he was already in a state of strength on the outside but weak on the inside. At that time, his finances were already in the red, but just by looking at him, you couldn't tell anything. He was still energetic and liked by women.”Hu Yu said with a dazed look in his eyes. He did not look at Ding Nan.
"What happened after that?"
"After that, how should I put it? After that, I fell deep into it. Even though Wang Bo was poor, I accepted it. I thought that it would be fine as long as the two of them lived a stable life. Who knew that not long after this good life, Wang Bo, who had always been frustrated and unwilling at work, began to ask me to do business. He said that he had a source of goods and could do wholesale business. He said how much money he could earn in a year. For him, in order to buy a house and a car in Beijing as soon as possible and settle down as soon as possible, I took out my savings of 300,000 yuan from my early years and rented that counter at Dahongmen to start a wholesale clothing business. He had to pay 180,000 yuan for a year's rent. Think about it, 15,000 yuan a month, and he would pay it off once a year. The rest of the money was used as capital for the purchase of goods.”
"What about now? How was it now? Is business good?"
"That's all. Sigh, this Wang Bo really caused me trouble. Not only did he spend 300,000 yuan on my business, but he also took 100,000 yuan from me to invest in stocks. He said that he had a source of goods, but in fact, there was no source of goods. I personally went to the south to find a few manufacturers. The business of the Big Red Sect is not good either. I can only maintain my daily expenses and have not returned. I don't have any money now. We used to rent a two-bedroom apartment upstairs. In order to save money, we moved to the warehouse in the basement after the Spring Festival.”
" Huh??"
"You know what? The life in the basement really gave me an indelible trauma. Every time I came up from the basement, I would cover my eyes and face, afraid of bumping into people, especially acquaintances. I felt very embarrassed and inferior. I felt that everyone looked at me strangely, as if I was looking at a monster. After a long time, he felt like a mouse. Not only was he afraid of people, but he was also afraid of light. After living in the basement for a long time, one's self-esteem was numb. That kind of psychological trauma was unimaginable.”
"I understand, I understand. Sister, you've really suffered. Sigh, how could this be? Is business not good now?"
"Maybe he doesn't have any experience in doing business. The wholesale business is not a small business. He has to take care of many aspects. Bo Wang, I asked him for help. He always said that it was not suitable for a man to do this and asked me to recruit a woman. If he was asked to do something else, he would complain about this and that. For the past two years, he had been staying at home. He would either meet his friends or go out to work. Since he had food today, he was not in a hurry to do things tomorrow.”Hu Yu sighed and said.
"Beijing men seem to be like this. They have a deep bad habit. They don't want to improve and muddle along. My husband is the same. In the past, he used to run illegal cars, but now he doesn't run anymore. He just sits by the computer and plays poker. He doesn't even think about what to do in the future. People say that if you use a whip, you will move once. I feel that he will only move once after ten lashes. I feel so tired, and I can't see any hope.”Ding Nan also sighed. He gestured to Li Shi in the next room with his mouth and said in a low voice.
Hu Yu smiled and said softly," We sisters have another thing in common. We both found a Beijing man who doesn't want to improve. We're not married yet."”
Ding Nan smiled and nodded." That's right. I wouldn't have thought so if you didn't say it. But now that you've said it, it's true." Then what are your plans for the future?"
A faint smile appeared on Hu Yu's face, but it quickly disappeared. He looked up at Ding Nan and said,"Bo Wang is actually a very good person. He treats me very well, but he doesn't work or earn money. It's been like this for two years. I can't see any hope. I told him that we'll look for each other again. If there's someone suitable, I'll leave him. He agreed.”
Hu Yu spoke calmly, but his expression was filled with the vicissitudes of life.
Ding Nan remembered a saying that she had read somewhere. There were only two reasons why a woman left a man. One was that she did not love him anymore, and the other was that she did not see any hope. It seemed that it was true.
After sending Hu Yu off, Ding Nan returned to the house. It was only then that he suddenly realized that Hang Hang had been sitting in front of the computer for a few hours without moving. The little fellow was staring at the screen and playing the Go-Go Karter without blinking. This situation had been going on for several months. Usually, when Ding Nan saw him, he would tell him to get up and rest his eyes for a while. However, he would only listen once every five times. This child's bad habits were increasing. Not only was he addicted to the internet, but he was also becoming more and more disobedient. He did not even keep his word. Sometimes, Ding Nan could not help but want to hit him when he did not listen.
Ding Nan walked over and suppressed her anger." Hang Hang, didn't Mom tell you to get up and rest your eyes after playing for an hour? How long has it been since Auntie came?" It's been a few hours, and I haven't seen you get up at all. Get up and rest. Don't hurt your eyes.”
Hang Hang sat still and did not look at Ding Nan. He continued to play with his hands and eyes while absent-mindedly saying the same words that he had said hundreds of times,"I know. Wait a moment."
"Alright, how long will we wait?" Ding Nan asked. Say it yourself!"
Hang Hang still said without raising his head,"Wait five minutes."”
Ding Nan nodded and said," Alright, we'll do as you say. I'll watch. Wake up consciously in five minutes."”
Hang Hang didn't say anything else. He was fully immersed in the game again. His eyes were wide open, and his body twisted from time to time as the car turned left and right on the screen. Five minutes had passed, but he was completely unaware and had no intention of standing up.
"Hang Hang, five minutes are up. You're a good child if you keep your word!"
Hang Hang still said,"I know, wait a moment."”
Ding Nan frowned. He grabbed his arm and dragged him down from the chair. He used his hands and feet to wrestle and struggled back to the chair.
Ding Nan was at her wit's end. She regretted not being with her child all the time, so she missed the best period of education. She had no choice but to go to the next room to ask Li Shi for help.
Li Shi walked over and patted Hang Hang's head. He bent down and whispered in his ear,""Hang Hang, go play table tennis with Daddy. Let's play table tennis for two hours and then come back to play on the computer, okay? It's not good for your eyes to keep playing on the computer.”
Hang Hang still didn't relent.”
"How long?" Li Shi asked.
"Wait two minutes." Hang Hang said.
"I know that Hang Hang is a good child who keeps his word. Hang Hang is the most trustworthy. Then Daddy will be waiting." Li Shi sat on the chair next to him. He raised his head and smiled at Ding Nan before looking at Hang Hang.
Three minutes later, Hang Hang finally stood up consciously. He stretched and looked at Li Shi."Dad, let's go play table tennis.”
Li Shi winked at Ding Nan and made a victory gesture. Then, he took the table tennis racket with Hang Hang and went out. Ding Nan sighed and went to the bedroom on both sides to take the dirty clothes and throw them into the washing machine. He poured in the washing liquid, plugged it in, and pressed the start button. He sat beside the computer and began to search for pirate captain leggings on Taobao. She looked at the only page she found a few times. There were only two shops that sold it, and they were all in black and white. The title of the treasure had the words Han in it. She didn't know if it was authentic or imitation. One shop was priced at 150 yuan, and the other was priced at 160 yuan. She thought to herself that she should get some of the other colored ones next time. This way, the more colors, the more popular they would be. In addition, she could just bid 100 yuan. This way, the price would be advantageous. Small profits but high turnover. In fact, the cost price of 30 yuan was not low.
Just as she was planning her next step, there was a knock on the door. She walked over and opened the door. It was Hang Hang standing alone outside the door, rubbing the Red Star brand table tennis bat with both hands. His face was gloomy, and his eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked,""What's wrong? Hang Hang, why are you back? Aren't you going to play table tennis?"
Hang Hang didn't say anything. He walked to the living room and sat down on the chair beside the dining table. He looked up at her and said,""You're lying to me. He's not my father. People call him Li Shi.”With that, his tears flowed down his cheeks.
It turned out that although the child had never seen his father since he was sensible, he had always known that his father's name was Lu Bo.
Ding Nan's heart ached in an instant. She walked to Hang Hang's side, bent down, and wiped the tears on his face. Just as he finished wiping, new tears flowed out again. He cried silently.
She was about to explain something to Hang Hang when the door was unlocked. After a while, Li Shi came in and asked curiously,"Hang Hang suddenly turned around halfway and didn't say a word. What's wrong?”
She pulled Li Shi to the room on the right and whispered,"Hang Hang knows that you're not his biological father. What happened on the way?”
Li Shi was shocked for a moment before he suddenly came to his senses. He nodded and said,"I was careless. I met an acquaintance on the road just now and greeted me. Hi, Li Shi, are you bringing your son out to play?”
Ding Nan was speechless. He pursed his lips out of habit and stood there in a daze for a while. Then, he returned to the living room, moved a chair, and sat beside Hang Hang."Hang Hang, I'm afraid that you're too young and don't understand some adult things. I lied to you to make you happy. It's wrong for me to lie. I was wrong.”
The child did not speak, but he sobbed. Ding Nan hugged Hang Hang's head in his arms and reached out to wipe away his tears. He said,"Mommy has made Hang Hang sad. Whatever Hang Hang wants to eat, whatever he wants, wherever he wants to go, Mommy will satisfy Hang Hang's wishes, okay?”
Hang Hang's shoulders twitched in her arms. He seemed to understand the sadness of being a single parent in this world in an instant. He hugged her tightly with both hands and sobbed,"Mommy."
