I went back to 74 and awakened the Godly Rich System

Chapter 2 2. Facing Reality
"How did you get here?" Du Yuan was still a little dazed. If he hadn't pinched his arm, he would have thought he was dreaming.

Jiao Lanhua was silent for a moment, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell down.

This made Du Yuan feel a little overwhelmed for a moment, and he subconsciously looked at his second brother Du Chuan.

Seeing this, Du Chuan could only smile bitterly and shake his head. What could he do in such a situation?
Fortunately, the little girl spoke up at this time, "Dad, it was grandma who drove me and mom out. Mom and I had nowhere to go, so we came to find you."

As soon as the words fell, the house fell into silence, and Du Yuan was trembling all over.

Their home is nearly a thousand kilometers away from the capital!

"Didn't I tell them that you would stay for a while longer and I would come to pick you up once I had made arrangements?" Du Yuan said tremblingly.

Although Jiao Lanhua didn't say it, he knew how much hardship Jiao Lanhua had endured on the way to the capital with Tingting, an orphan and her widowed mother.

A journey of a thousand kilometers would be exhausting even for an adult man, not to mention an orphan and a widow.

Jiao Lanhua wiped away her tears and choked up as she said, "You haven't contacted your family for half a year, not even a letter. People say you don't want us anymore."

Having said this, Jiao Lanhua could no longer hold back her tears. She had suffered too much injustice during this period of time.

In fact, the grievances at home were nothing. The most aggrieved thing was that Du Yuan had been gone for half a year and there was no news at all. In addition, similar news often came from some surrounding places, both men and women, that the educated youth had returned to the city and abandoned their original families.

All these things combined made Jiao Lanhua unable to waver no matter how firm her conviction was.

Then her stepmother kicked her and her daughter out.

She came all the way from her hometown to the capital, and suffered a lot on the way, climbing trains, begging, begging...

If they hadn't met a kindhearted man on the road, a truck driver from a unit in Beijing, who felt sorry for them, heard about their experiences, and happened to be returning to Beijing, so he brought them back on the way, I don't know how much more suffering they would have had to endure.

Otherwise, let alone one month, even if she was given a few more months, she might not be able to reach the capital. It would even be normal to encounter accidents on the road, as the roads are not safe now.

What's more, now you need a letter of introduction to go to many places, especially the capital. If they are found without a letter of introduction, they will be sent back home as blind migrants.

Jiao Lanhua sobbed as she told Du Chuan about what happened along the way, which made Du Chuan very distressed.

Du's mother had already burst into tears. When she confirmed that the mother and daughter were Du Yuan's wife and children, she felt more accepting of them.

This is even more so now. He directly hugged the little girl Tingting in his arms and wiped away his tears.

"Grandma, don't cry. Tingting didn't cry." The little girl wiped her grandma's tears sensibly.

How could Du's mother bear this? None of the four children in the family had been caring to her since childhood. Now suddenly a little girl appeared, and she was her own granddaughter, which made her heart melt.

"Grandma, don't cry, don't cry. You and your mother have suffered. It is our Dayuan who has let you down." Du's mother wiped her tears quickly, but she couldn't wipe them away.

As for Du Yuan, he murmured, "I... I don't have the face to write to you. I wanted to take you back after I settled down in the city. Who knew that after you came back, you couldn't find a job..."

He didn't intend to abandon his wife and daughter, but thought that he would let his wife and daughter come over after he found a job and could support the family.

But for more than half a year, he couldn't get any work assigned to him because there are too many people waiting for assignment.

It was never his turn, and even odd jobs were hard to find.

After hearing Du Yuan's explanation, Jiao Lanhua felt less aggrieved. At least her husband had not abandoned her and her daughter, and that was enough.

…………

An hour later, everyone in the family returned. When Du Zhongmao learned about the situation of Jiao Lanhua and her son, he was so angry that he pulled out his belt and hit Du Yuan twice. He was angry that Du Yuan had not told him about this matter before and had concealed the news of marriage and childbirth.

Du Chuan hurried forward to dissuade them, and finally pulled his father away.

"You...what can I say to you? How could you hide such a big thing from our family? Do you treat us as your parents? Ah!
I have been hiding this for four years, and now your wife and children have suffered so much, I… I wish you would just piss me off to death.” Du Zhongmao panted.

He is a man with a strong character. It is hard for him to accept that his son did such a thing. If others knew about this, he would not know what to say.

Anyway, on the surface, this is Du Yuan returning to the city, abandoning his original wife and daughter, and now his wife and daughter have come to him.

This was what made Du Zhongmao most angry. It was so embarrassing.

The Du family has never had the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. This has been passed down from Du Chuan's grandfather's generation. Anyway, Du Chuan knows that in his father's generation, his aunt was the most favored one.

In fact, Du Yuan felt wronged. He squatted down with his head in his hands, his voice muffled and a little crying, "I don't want to either, but you know the situation at home, Dad. Only you and Xiaochuan have jobs and can get a salary. It's not easy to support the family. What will Lanhua and the others eat and where will they live when they come?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent. Even the third and fourth children, who were looking at their sister-in-law and niece with curiosity, became quiet.

There are four children in the Du family, the eldest Du Yuan, the second Du Chuan, the third Du Mei, and the fourth Du Bei. Among the four children, only the third Du Mei is a girl.

The third and fourth children are twins. They are only ten years old this year and are in elementary school.

What Du Yuan said was true. The Du family had only three rooms in total, which was considered good in the compound. Some families only had one room with four or five people crowded together.

Of course, even the Du family lived in a very tight space, and the dining area was separated from the rooms of Du's father and mother.

Of the remaining two houses, Du Chuan and his elder brother Du Yuan live in one, and Du Mei and Du Bei live in another.

The room where Du Chuan and his family live also serves as a storage room.

Because the house where Du Mei and Du Bei lived was originally a storage room, the space was very small and it was barely enough for the two little ones to live in.

Now there are suddenly two more people in the family, so how should the rooms be allocated?

The second is the problem of food. Now only Du's father and Du Chuan have formal jobs in the Du family. The salary and coupons of the two can barely support the family, but if there are two more people, then eating will become a problem.

My eldest brother Du Yuan has been back for half a year, but he has not been assigned a job. He can only find odd jobs to do, but these odd jobs are not often available. It is good enough to have work to do three or five days a month.

So the expenses at home are still very tight. Every penny of food and drink has to be calculated, let alone clothes. There is no time to calculate that at all. As long as we have something to wear, it's fine.

"Eat, eat, take your time with these things, eat first." Du's mother said hurriedly upon seeing this.

However, when the family sat down at the dinner table and started eating, the atmosphere was still quite depressing.

Jiao Lanhua was extremely nervous and worried, not knowing what to do.

Logically speaking, the Du family did not reject the arrival of her and her daughter. On the contrary, they seemed to be very welcoming. She should be very happy.

But the situation is different now. Their arrival seems to have added a huge burden to the Du family.

As for Du Yuan, he kept silent and also refused to eat. Du's father kept smoking his pipe, making the already small room even more smoky.

Du Chuan sighed in his heart. He was a billionaire, but now he couldn't even afford to feed two more people. He really didn't know what to say about this life.

Du Chuan was not dreaming, nor was he suffering from hysteria. He was a real billionaire, although he had only just learned this. Before, he had always thought that he was only a multi-millionaire.
