After sending off Jiang Tongyuan, Jiang Ran returned to the courtyard and went straight to Wang Cuilan.
Jiang Ran walked over to Wang Cuilan and sat down beside Wang Cuilan. She hugged Wang Cuilan's arm.
"Mom, why are you sitting here crying alone?
Are you worried that you'll be too bored if Xiao Jing goes to school and we go to school too? "
"If that's what you're worried about, then there's no need for that. I can think of a way for you."
"I heard that you can learn anything you want in Bei City. Mom, is there anything you like? I can take you to a school and find a teacher. We can go to school too. Then, your life will be much more fulfilling."
Wang Cuilan knew that Jiang Ran said all this on purpose to make her happy.
How could she not be happy when she knew that someone was seriously trying to make her happy?
"Ranran!" Wang Cuilan said slowly.
Jiang Ran immediately stopped talking when she heard Wang Cuilan's words. She looked at Wang Cuilan seriously and waited for Wang Cuilan to continue.
"Back then, when I saw you for the first time, I thought that you were a beautiful young lady. You were prettier than all the young ladies I've seen before. However, you were very afraid of people. You hid in a corner, hugging your body and shivering. It made my heart ache."
"At that time, we didn't have much money at home. That human trafficker wanted to take you away. I couldn't bear to let her go!
I couldn't bear to let you go with her. I was afraid that you would be wronged again. So I gritted my teeth and worked hard. I took out everything that the family could afford. Finally … I bought you. "
Wang Cuilan's voice choked up when he said the word 'bought'.
"Although life at home became more difficult after I bought you. You didn't have enough to eat every meal and always wanted to go home. You didn't talk to your family much, but I don't regret it."
"Although I couldn't give you the best, I could at least guarantee that you would be safe."
"Then, after a few years, the family finally had some money. But you were going to middle school. We really couldn't afford it. In the end, we let Pei Huai go."
"Every time I think about it, I regret not letting you go back then. If you went to school, maybe now …"
"Mom, even if I went to school back then, my life might not have been as good as it is now."
Jiang held on to Wang Cuilan's hand. "We have to look forward.... let's let bygones be bygones... Let's talk about what if.. but we don't know, we don't know what our lives would be like if we had a different way.........."... we...
Wang Cuilan took a deep breath and smiled. "You're right. Even if we change our way of life, we don't know what our life will be like in the end. Now that I think about it, this is pretty good."
. Jiang Ran also felt that the current situation was quite good.
The two of them didn't say anything else. They looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Jiang Ran had already made arrangements for the night school.
They could go to class that night.
As for what Jiang Ran said to Wang Cuilan about Wang Cuilan learning something, it wasn't a casual remark.
As long as Wang Cuilan thought of learning something, he would definitely learn it.
If he could learn it, he would learn it. If he couldn't, he would create the conditions to learn it.
But Wang Cuilan obviously didn't have such thoughts now. Or rather, he hadn't thought of what to learn yet.
