After Ran Qi's earnest persuasion, Zhang Wei was finally convinced. She bit her lip tightly, nodded firmly, and said, "Okay, don't worry, Mom! I will study hard with all my strength, and I will make countless money in the future so that our family can live a rich life."

Then, Zhang Wei's eyes lit up as if she suddenly thought of something, and she continued to add: "By the way, Mom, when I go to college, I can also use my spare time to work and study. This way, I can not only improve my abilities, but also solve my living expenses problem and reduce a lot of burden on my family."

Hearing that her daughter was so sensible and had plans, Ran Qi smiled with relief, and the mother and daughter happily discussed various matters regarding going to college.

The next morning, the sun shone on the windowsill. Ran Qi got up early, carefully prepared a hearty breakfast, and then accompanied Zhang Wei to various workplaces to quit their previous jobs one by one.

After returning home, Zhang Wei began to devote herself to reviewing the knowledge she had learned. At first, this new pace of life was indeed difficult for Zhang Wei to adapt to, after all, she was used to the busy work every day.

However, as time passed, with the meticulous company and encouragement of her mother Ran Qi, Zhang Wei gradually got used to such a regular and fulfilling life.

Every morning, when the first ray of sunlight shines into the room, Zhang Wei will get up on time, wash up, and then sit at the desk to study seriously; while Ran Qi will quietly prepare nutritious lunch and dinner for her daughter, and occasionally remind her daughter to take a rest. In the evening, the mother and daughter will exchange their learning experience of the day and share each other's joys and sorrows.

Such warm and harmonious scenes are played out day after day, and Zhang Wei enjoys this time more and more. She knows that all this is due to the consistent support and companionship of her mother Ran Qi.

Whenever she felt tired or wanted to give up, as long as she saw her mother's eyes full of expectation and love, Zhang Wei would cheer up again and continue to move forward towards the beautiful goal in her heart.

During these days, Zhang Wei seemed to be immersed in a honey pot, with an extremely happy smile every day. However, in sharp contrast, for Zhang Qiang, these days were undoubtedly an unbearable torment.

Looking back to that day, Zhang Qiang was ruthlessly kicked out of the house by Ran Qi. Since then, he had no choice but to live in Ping Ping's house.

You know, Zhang Qiang has always been a lazy, idle person who doesn't even want to do the slightest housework. And Pingping? She is also a spoiled child who needs to be taken care of.

As a result, the environment in which the two lived together became increasingly dirty and messy.

But this was not the crux of the matter. What really made Zhang Qiang anxious was that he had firmly believed that the reason why Ran Qi drove him out was simply because he felt that Zhang Wei was unwilling to marry him, so he tried every means to coax Zhang Wei to change her mind.

According to Zhang Qiang's expectations, it wouldn't be long before Ran Qi would come in person to invite him home.

However, day after day, Zhang Qiang waited eagerly for the familiar figure, but he never saw her. Not only that, he also had to endure the complaints and accusations from Pingping, saying that he was a grown man, but he didn't work hard to earn money to support his family, but stayed at her house all day eating and drinking for free, which was really useless!

At the beginning, Zhang Qianghai firmly believed that Ran Qi must have come back this time to ask him to go back with him. However, as time passed, Zhang Qianghai's inner certainty gradually began to waver.

Especially when he learned that because of this incident, his beloved woman Pingping actually planned to abort the unborn baby in her belly, Zhang Qianghai felt as if he had been struck by lightning and was completely stunned.

"Why?" Zhang Qianghai widened his eyes, looked at Pingping in disbelief and asked, "Didn't we agree to welcome the arrival of this little life together? Why do we suddenly have to..."

Pingping cried with tears streaming down her face, "I don't want this to happen either! But look at how tight our lives are now. Even basic living expenses are a problem. How can we have the money to raise a child? Rather than letting the child suffer with us, it's better to do it now while there is still time..."

"No! Absolutely not! I will find a way to support you and your child, so you must not abort the child!" Zhang Qiang shouted anxiously, reaching out to grab Pingping.

However, Ping Ping angrily shook off his hand, glared at him and yelled, "You want to support us? Humph, look at yourself now. You can't even support yourself. How can you support us, mother and son?"

Then, Ping Ping asked sharply, "Also, my parents have already made it clear that to marry me, they need at least 18 yuan as a gift, but what about you? Up to now, you haven't saved a penny, what can you use to marry me? Are you really going to let me follow you like this forever?"

Zhang Qiang rushed forward and grabbed Pingping's hands tightly. He said with a firm and anxious look, "Don't worry, dear. My mother just said that casually that day. How could she give up on me so easily? Besides, she must be trying to persuade my sister to marry into that family. As long as my sister agrees to the marriage, we can get the betrothal money."

After hearing this, Pingping's anger did not subside, but she became even more agitated. She struggled to break free from Zhang Qiang's hand and shouted, "Wait, wait, how long do we have to wait? We've been waiting for so long, and there's no movement at all. In my opinion, your mother doesn't want your sister to marry him at all. If that's the case, you won't be able to get enough money for the bride price. Instead of dragging it on, I might as well go to the hospital and have the baby removed!" After that, Pingping turned around and was about to leave.
