I just want to live in peace

Chapter 137 137. What's the point of reading?
Sun Mingxi was speechless to Xu Xuan's accusation.

Seeing the remorseful expression on her face, Xu Xuan understood that she had listened. She was afraid of irritating the girl who was about to enter puberty too much, and laughed at herself: "I also said that you eat your mother's food and despise your mother's uselessness! How can I do that?" Isn’t it like that? I also despise my original family and despise them for being poor.”

Sun Mingxi's eyes widened: "You despise your original family? How rich your family is, you don't despise it?"

Xu Xuan laughed so hard that she burst into tears.

Sun Mingxi was a little scared: "Sister Xu Xuan, did I say something wrong?"

"No." Xu Xuan shook her head, wiping away her tears, "I wear this outfit and the delicate makeup. Anyone who looks at me will think that my original family has a good financial situation, at least it must be a well-off family."

"Isn't it? You haven't been working for a long time, so you shouldn't have earned a lot of money to support your consumption, right? It should be supplied at home."

Xu Xuan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "My family is very poor. When I was in college, I often wore other people's leftover clothes. I really hated this. So, after I saved some money during my postgraduate studies, I spent as much as I wanted. I would rather not eat, but wear luxury clothes, and use big-name cosmetics and bags to make up for the lack of clothes I used to feel. I like people to look at me with envious eyes. But these are just superficial phenomena , Without these decorations, I have nothing, and worry about paying back the money every day.”

Sun Mingxi was surprised: "Are you spending too much?"

"Yes, I have opened many credit cards and borrowed from each other for emergency use. You are afraid that I will go to the company the next day and laugh at your colleagues for your poor housing environment. It is because you have not seen what the house I rented. If you go to If you live in the house that my friends and I rent, you will feel that your family is very rich."

"Rich?" Sun Mingxi looked at the small space and simple furnishings in the house, "Our house is not big, and many of my classmates live in big houses and villas of more than 150 square meters. Compared with them, our family is too poor to see .”

Xu Xuan sneered: "You have never seen poor people, you only stare at rich people. There are indeed many rich people in the world. They live in luxurious villas and yachts, and enjoy life every day. But there are more poor people. You have never heard of Is 80% of the wealth in the world in the hands of 20.00% of the people?"

"I know! This is too unfair."

"The world is inherently unfair. For example, if you were born in the capital, you have a separate bedroom, excellent education and medical resources, but many children in my hometown can only stay in the village and don't see their parents for a year. Although now The quality of life has generally improved, and they have no shortage of clothes or clothes, but their life is definitely not as moist as yours. Your living conditions have surpassed 80.00% of the people in the world, and you are still not satisfied."

Sun Mingxi pointed at himself, his face full of disbelief: "I still live well? People whose living conditions exceed 80.00%?"

"You don't believe me? I'll let you see their living conditions through the videos of my classmates." Xu Xuan found out a video of a classmate's connection, "Dear little love, are you at home?"

"Yes." At the other end of the video, a girl wrapped in a quilt waved her hand.

"Are you uncomfortable? Still wrapped in a quilt?"

Sun Mingxi stretched his head to look in, and saw clothes hanging on the wall behind the girl, bowls and some cosmetics on the simple iron shelf behind him, and was startled by the girl's hard life.

"I'm renting a basement. The heating doesn't work, and it stopped today, so it's very cold. I need to wrap myself in a quilt to feel better."

"Huh?" Sun Mingxi was dumbfounded.

Xu Xuan chatted with her classmates for a while before she put down her phone and looked at Sun Mingxi squarely: "Xiaoxi, I didn't lie to you! Many of my classmates are not living as they want, and their residences are far worse than yours. Of course, there are also A few students from well-to-do families have a particularly good life. However, most of the people living in Beidiao are very average or somewhat poor."

"How could this be? They don't have a good education and can't find a good job?"

"They have academic qualifications. Like me, they are high-achieving students who graduated from 985 key universities. However, the current employment situation is too severe. We can't find high-paying jobs, so we can only cut down on food and clothing."

Sun Mingxi muttered: "How could this be? After graduating from a prestigious school, you should find a gold-collar job in an office building, wear a famous brand, live in a high-end apartment, and drive a luxury car to go to high-end places!"

Xu Xuan patted her on the head: "I've watched too much TV and movies. The real life of ordinary people is so glamorous. The houses in this city cost tens of millions. Even if you earn 90.00 a month, you have to live frugally." Use the house money. Moreover, according to the data released by the Bureau of Statistics, [-]% of the people earn less than [-] yuan a month. Look at me, the monthly salary during the internship is less than [-] yuan, and it is not as much as your mother earns when you become a full-time employee."

Sun Mingxi retorted: "You are different from my mother. You are young and capable, with great stamina. My mother will be like this in her life, and maybe it will be even worse."

"Wrong! Your mother has never given up studying, and she works very hard. I think her future will get better and better."

"What you see is just superficial phenomena. At my mother's age, even if she gets a certificate and works as a lawyer, she still has to start from scratch. Moreover, as you said, the current economic situation is not good, and college students from prestigious schools like yours can't find them." To a good job, let alone a middle-aged woman like my mother?"

Xu Xuan sighed: "How much do you misunderstand your mother? Why do you always fail to see her good points? Your mother works very hard and is very tenacious..."

Sun Mingxi interrupted her: "Then why is she still an ordinary employee?"

"Your mother can't be promoted, it's not because of her ability. I am in the same company as your mother. I saw your mother work as a department supervisor, but she couldn't be promoted. Instead, the company wants to promote older employees who usually don't work very much to the department. Supervisor, I am very puzzled. I asked people in other departments, and one elder brother said disdainfully that our company only promotes sycophants. Many people with real talents have quit. The pressure from the family can only be endured. I think your mother belongs to the latter!"

"My mother is still incapable, otherwise she wouldn't be stuck in such a company."

Xu Xuan shook her head: "You think too superficially. The company still has advantages. Your mother must have considered the advantages and disadvantages of staying in the company. Your home is not far from our company. Besides, our department manager has a bad temper. , but the approval of leave is very straightforward. The workload of the company is not too much, the salary is paid on a monthly basis, and some benefits can be received from time to time. Your mother may think that it is not easy to find such a job again, so she is willing to stay in the company Be a clerk."

Sun Mingxi was thoughtful.

Xu Xuan got up to clear the dining table, brushed off the plates, chopsticks, and pots, wiped the table with a rag, and supported her waist: "Your mother is really not easy. I always feel that cooking is troublesome after work. I always order takeaway. Your mother is off work After that, she has to cook and take care of you, and you still expect her to be a golden collar? How can work and family be balanced?"

"You are a graduate of a prestigious school, and you are not good at mixing. In the future, what can you do well in studying?" Sun Mingxi was disappointed.
