In a house full of random junk, the jobless Qin Zhi Xue was lying on his bed in despair. Within the house, another voice could also be heard groaning and moaning in pain.
Qin Zhi Xue didn't know how his days ended up like this.
Everything seemed like it had returned back to a few decades ago. Back then, they were so poor that he didn't even have any daily expenses left. The old madam was always going out to boast about his grades and obedience, flaunting in front of her family and friends that not only had he gotten into a first-tier university, he was also offered a generous scholarship. She even boasted that he could even earn enough spending money just based on his own ability. These words caused him to suffer unspeakable misery.
Each student of his dorm wore branded apparel, even if they were second-hand. They still never had to pass their days like him; needing to tutor other people even during his resting times. Moreover, the children of those wealthy families were very difficult to deal with. His job as a home tutor was not a smooth one.
And it was during this period that a guy from his dorm began to crush on Xiang Jin. Only after eavesdropping here and there did he know that Xiang Jin's father was the president of a company. Not mentioning her good looks, her personality was also good, and she had rejected the pursuit of many people.
When he saw Xiang Jin, he felt somewhat unresigned.
They were both human, but there was always the separation between the noble and the lowly. Something he would not be able to achieve even after fighting his whole life for it, Xiang Jin already had it the moment she was born. She had money, so she could mourn the universe and pity the fate of mankind; the gaze she used to look at him always held sympathy.
Therefore, he used every method in his book to get closer.
Naturally, Xiang Jin was indeed a woman who was not bad. It would be hard for his heart not to be moved, but he was aware of what he wanted.
Watching as Xiang Jin fell from a prideful young miss of a wealthy family to a housewife, his restlessness was finally appeased.
The number of women out there were numerous, but he never had the notion of divorcing Xiang Jin. It was not because of how much he loved Xiang Jin, but because she was different. He could only know that he was successful every time he saw her, something those people out there would not understand.
While the old madam was busy constantly itching to the point of it being insufferable, Qin Zhi Xue's mind was buzzing as he pondered. Possessing an attitude that was on the edge of sanity, she started throwing insults, "You useless piece of trash, can't even control a woman! Making me still have to suffer with you at this age, tell me what the hell did I raise you for?! Ah! What kind of sin did I commit to birth such an unfilial son? I told you to go invite Doctor Gan, but you refuse to listen to me, do you want me to die ah…"
The devil's music entered his ears, causing Qin Zhi Xue's veins to be revealed as he grit and ground his teeth.
However, he did that only to feel that his entire body was extremely tense and uncomfortable. Qin Zhi Xue involuntarily thought about Xiang Jin.
Although Xiang Jin had become a housewife, in the two years when she had just married him, even though she was busy outside, she was gentle and soft as usual when she returned home.
How harmonious were we back then?
When Xiang Jin had suffered a miscarriage, she didn't show any expression of being half dead. She persevered. If only I could return to those times, I would definitely treat Xiang Jin better after I received the company. Moreover, she had relations with the Tang family, if only I'd known earlier…1
There weren't any 'if only's'.
Qin Zhi Xue's tragic life continued day after day. The old lady was still as per usual, hurling abuse everywhere every single day, each one worse than the last. The only difference was that the target of her abuse was now her own son.
Qin Zhi Xue experienced the complete set of Xiang Jin's past nightmare. It was so painful he would rather die.
Without a job and savings, in the end, Qin Zhi Xue directly made the old woman sell their only place of shelter and rented a place nearby.
Unfortunately for him, the old woman's voice was strong, causing him to receive the complaints of the neighbours every day. Not long after, the pair were chased out. The money they got from selling the house was used by Qin Zhi Xue to invest in a venture. The blueprint was once again drawn up, but the end result was still a complete loss. Thus, they now wandered the streets, homeless.
It wasn't convenient for the old lady to move so Qin Zhi Xue just brought her to the streets every day to beg. He wasn't able to put down his dignity to look for jobs somewhere else so they relied solely on that meager income to survive, still living in extremely miserable conditions.
Of course, this was all something that happened later.
