Chapter 109 An Uninvited Guest Arrives at Home (Yu Mei Remarries Her First Wife and Starts a Small B
The man who barged in was Chen Lixin, Yu Mei's ex-husband. Chen Lixin kicked away the man who was pressing down on Yu Han, then called the police. A moment later, the police arrived and took Li Cheng to the police station to await trial.
Yu Mei's ugly makeup was exposed to her ex-husband Chen Lixin, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into the ground.
Chen Lixin glanced at Yu Mei, his eyes filled with complex emotions, a mixture of affection and disappointment.
He turned to leave, but Yu Mei suddenly grabbed his sleeve. "Li Xin, I know I was wrong, please give me another chance," Yu Mei pleaded, crying.
Chen Lixin sighed and said slowly, "We can't go back. You should live your life well." After saying that, he broke free from her hand and left.
Yu Mei slumped to the ground, filled with remorse. Meanwhile, Li Cheng confessed everything at the police station. It turned out he had long coveted Yu Mei and had taken advantage of her drunkenness to commit evil.
After this incident, Yu Mei seemed like a different person. She started working hard and learning to dress appropriately. She knew that past mistakes could not be undone, but she could rebuild herself.
She would still think of Chen Lixin occasionally, but she kept it to herself. She understood that life had to move forward, and only when she truly changed herself would she have the right to pursue happiness, even if that happiness was no longer with Chen Lixin.
I didn't notice any good qualities in Chen Lixin when we lived together before. He had no money, no car, no house, and he also had physical injuries.
Aside from providing me with a little care and earning a simple meal, he offered me nothing else! But now, my thoughts were completely different. I actually appreciated his kindness.
The next day, Yu Mei continued to set up her noodle stall at the entrance of the No. 1 Primary School in the city.
Although she was tired after a long day doing this small business, she still felt fulfilled compared to before. After all, she felt at ease and confident earning money with her own hands.
Unlike before, when she entrusted everything to others but ultimately couldn't rely on them.
Every day at noon, her noodle stall is always surrounded by a group of chattering children who come to buy the food she makes herself: grilled cold noodles, grilled sausages, grilled pancakes, and roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).
Then the children who had bought things quickly left. At this point, there were no children at the stall, so she turned her head and looked at the school for a few minutes. She did the same thing every day, looking at the school with anticipation!
But her expectation never came true!
One morning, she continued to set up her small noodle stall at the entrance of the No. 1 Primary School in the city.
The children who had gathered around her noodle stall, holding their favorite noodles, happily ran off.
Yu Mei's expectations finally came true at the school gate, but the appearance of the little elf left her bewildered!
The little elf grew taller and more beautiful; the thirteen-year-old girl was already incredibly beautiful, standing at 1.65 meters tall.
The little elf is Chen Sisi. Every day, Chen Sisi sees her classmates buying grilled noodles from the food stalls at the school gate and eating them with great relish!
Her mouth was watering with cravings, and she was thinking of asking her classmates to buy it for her, but she was afraid they would ask her, "Why don't you buy it yourself? We'll just buy it for nothing. And you'll have to eat it soon, it'll get cold. Go buy it yourself."
Then Chen Sisi stood at the school gate!
Yu Mei saw her looking at her stall, but she didn't dare to come over and buy anything.
Yu Mei was about to go over and bring her some noodles when Chen Sisi suddenly ran over, stretching out her long, slender arm and pointing to a grilled cold noodle stall.
Yu Mei was overjoyed, her heart and face beaming with happiness. Then Yu Mei prepared grilled cold noodles and a sausage. She handed it to her, but the girl only took the grilled cold noodles wrapped in yellow paper, ignoring the sausage, which was also wrapped in yellow. Then, with her other, idle hand, she quickly pulled a yuan from her pocket, placed it on the noodle-making girl's counter, and without even looking at Yu Mei, took it and ran towards the schoolyard.
Yu Mei's enthusiasm immediately cooled things down.
Watching Chen Sisi run away and ignore her, she felt even more guilty, feeling sorry for her daughter.
As Yu Mei watched her daughter's departing figure, she secretly vowed to find a chance to make amends.
A few days later, Yu Mei learned that the school was going to hold a parent-child activity. She mustered up her courage and contacted Chen Lixin, hoping that he would agree to let her participate. Chen Lixin hesitated for a moment, but then agreed.
On the day of the parent-child activity, Yu Mei carefully prepared delicious food to bring to school.
At first, Chen Sisi seemed a little resistant to Yu Mei, but Yu Mei looked at her sincerely and said, "Sisi, Mom knows she was wrong and wants to make it up to you." The surrounding classmates looked at them curiously.
Chen Sisi's eyes gradually reddened, and she whispered, "Will you really change?" Yu Mei nodded hurriedly.
During the activity, Yu Mei played games and did crafts with Chen Sisi, and the estrangement between the mother and daughter gradually disappeared.
After the event, Chen Sisi took Yu Mei's hand and said, "Mom, you have to keep your word from now on."
Yu Mei was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, and Chen Lixin, who was standing next to her, also had a faint smile on his lips when he saw this.
From then on, Yu Mei worked even harder to manage her life, cherished the opportunity to reunite with her family, and steadily moved towards happiness step by step.
As time went by, Yu Mei and Chen Sisi grew closer. Every day, Yu Mei would get up early to prepare a delicious breakfast for Sisi and take her to school. Sisi also became much more cheerful and lively, and her grades improved day by day.
Seeing the changes in Yu Mei, Chen Lixin's heart gradually melted. Once, when Si Si was hospitalized, Yu Mei stayed by her bedside day and night, looking utterly haggard. When Chen Lixin visited her, he was deeply moved by this sight.
"Yu Mei, you've had a hard time these past few days," Chen Lixin said softly.
Yu Mei raised her head, tears welling in her eyes: "This is what I should do. I owe you all so much in the past."
After that, Chen Lixin began to appear frequently in Yu Mei and Si Si's lives. The family of three would sometimes take walks together and eat together. Through Yu Mei's efforts, the once broken family slowly began to mend itself.
Yu Mei knew that this happiness was hard-won, and she cherished it all the more. Chen Lixin and Sisi also felt Yu Mei's genuine change, and the family began a warm and happy new life.
Then Yu Mei quit her stall at the gate of the No. 1 Primary School in the city and went to learn a hairdressing skill. She was naturally skillful and would often pick up a pair of blacksmith's scissors to cut shoulder-length hair for some old ladies she knew.
Then the old lady looked in the large mirror and praised Yu Mei's hands with satisfaction. Yu Mei's hands were indeed very skillful; everyone in the family had their winter cotton-padded clothes made by Yu Mei herself.
Chen Lixin also worked even harder driving his tricycle on that street, where he earned 200 yuan. He handed over every penny he earned to Yu Mei. Yu Mei was also less careless with her money than before.
But the good times didn't last long, because then Yu Mei's house was visited by an uninvited guest!
