She is so pitiful? I choose to pity myself first
Chapter 5: I'm not going to be so stupid this time
Her children took her in and encountered such strange things every day. Her son almost lost his job because of it.
Later, they simply let the old lady go back to the county town to fend for herself, and only gave her a sum of money every month.
This kind of person will only think that it is natural for others to help her, but once others ask for the rewards they deserve, she will show her true colors and start cursing.
However, Lin Tingyu knew that even if she told her mother about this, she would still not be able to bear to see the old lady working alone and would have to come forward to help.
She had just reviewed the story of her previous life before going to bed and remembered it clearly.
On the morning of the second day of her birthday, Mrs. Sun accepted a group breakfast order from a nearby company.
They couldn't find anyone for this group breakfast, and it happened that one of the employees often ate at her place, so they chose to order the old lady's breakfast, actually with the intention of helping the old lady.
However, the old lady certainly cannot prepare hundreds of meals by herself.
So, after she mentioned it to her mother, her mother agreed voluntarily. She even thought that Lin Tingyu was at home this morning, so she asked Lin Tingyu to go and help as well, so that the old lady's work could be finished earlier.
In her previous life, Lin Tingyu had always been kind and enthusiastic under her mother's education.
As soon as Shen Zhinian told her, she agreed without hesitation.
This directly resulted in her being exhausted and sore all over during her rare day and a half off. Her mother even sprained her waist, and the medical expenses alone cost several hundred yuan.
Of course, these few hundred dollars were her mother's money, and Mrs. Sun didn't say a word.
If it happened again, Lin Tingyu would think that she was a fool to help.
Therefore, after hearing Shen Zhinian's words, Lin Tingyu said directly:
"Mom, I couldn't sleep last night and only slept for two hours. I'll be very tired if I go over to help now. I'm a senior in high school and have been in class for five and a half days. I was expecting you to celebrate my birthday, but there was no cake and I only had a bowl of longevity noodles..."
The more she spoke, the more guilty Shen Zhinian felt.
"Mom, I just want to have a good sleep now. I have to go to school tonight. The homework for Saturday and Sunday is one test paper for each subject, and I still have five to fill out."
At this point, Shen Zhinian suddenly became "considerate" and said:
"Okay, then you take a good rest, and Mom will go help Old Lady Sun..."
Seeing Shen Zhinian changing into clothes that were convenient for work, Lin Tingyu couldn't bear it and couldn't help but advise:
"Mom, your waist is not in good condition, why don't you stop helping? Grandma Sun doesn't pay you..."
"You kid, your mother helped me, is it for that little salary? I just felt sorry for Grandma Sun who is still working so hard at her age."
Shen Zhinian's answer was just as Lin Tingyu had predicted.
Lin Tingyu sighed and stopped trying to stop him.
Before going to bed, she took a special look out the window.
Sure enough, her mother was smiling warmly and making breakfast with Old Mrs. Sun. The two of them looked very harmonious.
She didn't know that at this moment, Old Lady Sun downstairs was complaining about her:
"Didn't you say yesterday that your Xiaoyu would come to help? Why isn't she awake yet?"
"She went to bed late, and she had homework to do today, so I let her go back to sleep."
Shen Zhinian had no idea that Old Lady Sun was unhappy about losing a free helper. She thought the old lady was concerned about her daughter.
"Young people need to go to bed early and get up early to stay healthy. As a mother, you can't spoil her too much. You should let her do more things. Helping us can be considered a form of exercise..."
Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll speed up and I'll definitely catch up."
Old Mrs. Sun seemed to be hesitant to speak, and looking at Shen Zhinian who was helping diligently, she didn't say anything else.
……
Upstairs, Lin Tingyu took a nap until eleven o'clock.
Looking out the window, I saw that Mrs. Sun had already closed her stall.
Her mother was helping out around the place.
There were even guests who didn't know her and asked:
"Boss lady, is this your daughter-in-law? She is so beautiful."
……
Lin Tingyu looked away expressionlessly, calmly cooked himself a bowl of noodles, ate and started doing the test paper.
This is not the first time that her mother is willing to help and work so hard that people mistake her for someone else's daughter-in-law.
Previously, another old lady neighbor passed away, and her only son was too young to handle the funeral, so her mother went to help.
As a result, she was mistaken for the old lady's daughter-in-law. When the real daughter-in-law heard it, she came to her house in a rage and cursed her mother for being a mistress.
If her father had not been dead at the time and the police's identity had been revealed, the other party would have been intimidated and her mother's reputation would have been ruined long ago.
Lin Tingyu is no longer angry now. She calmly tries to recall her memories from ten years ago, but finds that the test paper in front of her is like a heavenly book.
It had only been a few years since she left school, but she had been too busy in medical school in her previous life and had long forgotten all this knowledge.
Fortunately, she had aspired to be a doctor since she was young, and she had a mother like Shen Zhinian who was a teacher. Her father was also supportive enough to buy her study materials without any hesitation.
Therefore, Lin Tingyu has always had good grades since she was a child, and has always been the top student in the only high school in their current county.
He still had some basic knowledge, so Lin Tingyu took out the textbook and started learning completely on the spot. In less than an hour, he understood the formulas and examples that he had forgotten.
She started to do the test again. She had already mastered the mathematics part and could answer at least 90% of the questions in the whole test.
Just after finishing a course, Shen Zhinian came back rubbing his sprained waist.
Lin Tingyu looked at her, and did not apply medicine to her with concern as in the past, but suddenly said:
"You sprained your back?"
When she got home and saw her daughter doing her homework, Teacher Shen was very pleased and nodded, smiling and said:
"Yeah, I'm old now. I wouldn't have gotten embarrassed doing this kind of work before..."
She thought her daughter would think she was kind and enthusiastic, and she was thankful in her heart:
Fortunately, she sprained her waist. If it was Old Lady Sun who sprained her waist, it would have been troublesome given the old lady's physical condition.
Unexpectedly, Lin Tingyu nodded:
"But if mom hadn't helped her, she wouldn't have sprained her back."
"After mom sprained her waist, Grandma Sun didn't say anything, right? She didn't even give you a bottle of medicated oil to apply."
Shen Zhinian frowned:
"Child, is this what your mother taught you since you were a child? It is our own business if we are willing to help, and we cannot ask for anything in return..."
Lin Tingyu stood up:
"Mom, I'm going back to school. Give me this week's living expenses."
Shen Zhinian was stunned, and his attention was immediately diverted, forgetting that he was scolding his daughter for being ignorant just a second ago.
"So soon? Isn't it only noon? Don't you usually go to school at five or six?"
Yes, in the past she was very dependent on her family and her only mother, especially after she lived in the school dormitory in her senior year of high school. Every time she went home and saw her mother alone without her father, she felt heartbroken.
If the school wasn't too far away and the evening self-study class wasn't too late, she originally planned not to live on campus.
Fortunately, although her mother is a saint, she still attaches great importance to her daughter's studies.
"The teacher told us to go back early and prepare for this week's competition."
What Lin Tingyu said was true. Such an incident did happen in his previous life.
But in her previous life, she did not go there early, and even did not participate in the competition because of her classmates.
But this time, Lin Tingyu doesn't intend to be so stupid again.
