half-baked life

Chapter 146 Her son is about to graduate and wants to be an internet celebrity.

"It's not Jiefang, it's that Zhu Qiwu. Yesterday afternoon he suddenly sent me a message, asking me in a roundabout way if Jiefang had told me anything about him. It was so baffling that I was confused. I hurriedly called. I asked Jiefang on the phone if something had happened, but she said it was nothing, and they just had a few words, but I always feel that this matter... is not that simple."

"Oh." Jiang Xiaoping said it for a long time, but Jiang He just responded with unclear meaning.

Since Zhang Jiefang resigned from Jieping Yuyu, Jiang He has basically lost contact with her.

From the bottom of his heart, Jiang He felt that he had done enough to be benevolent and righteous.

She has given enough money, both what should be given and what should not be given. She only complained a few words to Gu Xia about the false testimony. Until now, her mother and grandma still don't know about it.

But for some reason, Jiang He felt very uncomfortable every time he heard the words "Zhang Jiefang".

It was a very complicated feeling, not only anger, annoyance and sporadic grievances after being deceived and fooled, but also mixed with a lot of regret and sadness.

Jiang He sometimes even thought without any principles that it was not a big deal if the certificate was fake. He could just study and take the exam again. What the hell was it that Zhang Jiefang ran away?
"Well..." Gu Xia, who was testing the age-friendly dining table with his grandma, suddenly came over hesitantly. Like a primary school student who abides by classroom disciplines, he raised his right hand towards Jiang Xiaoping on the screen, " Aunt Jiefang contacted me the day before yesterday."

Jiang He looked at Gu Xia in disbelief, and Gu Xia immediately bared his teeth at her and smiled guiltily.

Jiang He immediately snorted coldly and stood up to leave. Gu Xia quickly reached out and hugged him tightly.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. Really, I just didn't have time to tell you. Jiang He, I was wrong. I will explain it now and promise to 'tell everything I know and tell you everything'!"

Gu Xia had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, and Lao'er also helped to persuade Jiang He. Naturally, Jiang He couldn't argue with him anymore, otherwise Lao'er and her mother would definitely become suspicious.

She raised her hand and patted Gu Xia's arm around her waist, slightly raising her chin at him, and Gu Xia immediately began to "explain everything from the beginning."

"Aunt Jiefang sent me a message the afternoon before yesterday...about three o'clock, asking me if I was busy. I happened to be in the factory at the time, and it was almost six o'clock when I saw the message, so I hurriedly sent it to her I called back, and Aunt Jiefang told me...that her son was about to graduate and wanted to be an internet celebrity."

"What?" Jiang Xiaoping and Jiang He, both on and off the screen, said in unison, especially Jiang Xiaoping, whose raised eyebrows wanted to fly right out of the computer screen.

As for Liang Xiujing, the old lady spoke more bluntly, "Jiwen, right? I've seen that kid. He has no stature, no appearance, and he's not very sure about what he says and does. I'm afraid it's not easy to be an internet celebrity, right?" "

Gu Xia met the gazes of the three people and sighed noncommittally before continuing.

"...Boss Gu, I really have no other choice, otherwise I wouldn't...wouldn't contact you so shamelessly. You...you can help me persuade Jiwen. This child is getting older. I This mother is incompetent, what she says has no weight at all, and he is not willing to listen."

Zhang Jiefang on the other end of the phone was obviously very worried. She could not help but sigh three times. Gu Xia could even picture the lines in the corners of her eyes that were getting deeper and deeper as a result, and the bitter smile that would appear subconsciously at the corners of her mouth every time she mentioned her family. meaning.

"Aunt Jiefang, we are all so familiar, and I won't beat around the bush with you. Jiwen wants to be an Internet celebrity, and I really can't be of much help. You also know that if I, an 'Internet celebrity,' can become an Internet celebrity, I have to rely on others." That's Jiang He's blessing. But if he wants to try some jobs related to Internet celebrities and live broadcasts, there is no problem. You can let him come to my place to experience it and see if he likes it."

"Oh, thank you very much, Boss Gu. That's good, just a little bit of friendship." Zhang Jiefang was obviously relieved when she heard what Gu Xia said.

She really didn't want to make this call, since she felt that she was embarrassed and conspicuous, but Tang Jiwen had been pestering her these days and there was really nothing he could do.

Just two days after October, Tang Jiwen returned home from school.

He is in his senior year. Most students are either taking postgraduate entrance examinations or working as an intern, but Tang Jiwen is not involved in any of them. He stays at home every day playing games indiscriminately, saying he wants to be a game anchor.

Although Zhang Jiefang doesn't quite understand what a game anchor does, she feels that it is understandable. She is not like ordinary parents who see their children playing games at home every day, either yelling and cursing, or frowning and sighing.

After all, she has seen the world and saw with her own eyes that Gu Xia and Jiang He made money from the Internet, and they also made a lot of money.

But the sad thing is that Tang Jiwen didn't even have any confidence in playing games. He only broadcast it for a week at most. He felt that there was no one in the live broadcast room and didn't want to broadcast it anymore.

"Let's take our time. It's only been a few days and we can't see anything. Let's try broadcasting for a while. Also, Jiwen, when you have nothing to do, go to those game anchors with many fans and see what they are doing. Broadcast, I saw someone called 'Wei..."

Zhang Jiefang was worried that her son would get angry after staying up late, so she specially cut a plate of water chestnuts and sent it over. However, before she could finish her words, Tang Jiwen exploded.

He suddenly grabbed the mouse and smashed it against the wall, then knocked away the plate of water chestnuts. Then he jumped up like crazy, trampling all the white water chestnuts that fell on the ground to pieces one after another.

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Zhang Jiefang, do you have to drive me completely crazy to make you happy!" He yelled at Zhang Jiefang hysterically, then grabbed his backpack and stuffed it randomly After a few changes of clothes, she slammed the door and left. No matter how much Zhang Jiefang shouted and begged from behind, she didn't even look back.

The first time Tang Jiwen ran away from home dates back to the first semester of high school.

His previous grades were at the middle level, but during that period he suddenly dropped to the bottom, and he always fell asleep in class. Zhang Jiefang thought he was sick at the time, so she took him to the hospital for several physical examinations. Of course, something was wrong. nothing.

Until one day, Zhang Jiefang came back from the night shift. It was already past three o'clock in the morning, and she found that the lights in Tang Jiwen's room were still on. Then she realized that he often got up in the middle of the night to play games secretly, and also poured a lot of money into it.

She tried to persuade her, scolded her, and even cried and begged twice, but Tang Jiwen was like a greased stone, not caring at all.

Zhang Jiefang really had no choice but to cruelly confiscate Tang Jiwen's mobile phone and computer. Unexpectedly, Tang Jiwen turned around and ran away from home. Zhang Jiefang was so frightened that she quickly called the police.

The police checked the location and adjusted the surveillance, and found the person without any danger.

In just one night, Tang Jiwen looked like he had been wandering out for more than half a year. His face was streaked with gray and white, and the hem of his clothes was torn. However, he was so embarrassed, but he was still holding his neck and refused to go home. In the end, Zhang Jiefang begged him humbly for a long time, and even wrote a letter of guarantee saying that she would never take away his cell phone again. Only then did Tang Jiwen "reluctantly" agree to go home.

From then on, Tang Jiwen realized that running away from home really worked, and he later used this trick to threaten Zhang Jiefang from time to time.

Zhang Jiefang was really scared at first, worried that Tang Jiwen was freezing and hungry outside, or being bullied. Until one time, Zhang Jiefang discovered that Tang Jiwen ran away from home, and it was actually Tang Yaocan who instigated her. The two of them had been carrying her behind their backs. "Colluding".

"...If you keep insisting, at most two...a day and a half, at most a day and a half, your mother will definitely have to give in. It's not like you don't know her, it's just a small amount. When the money is given to you, we will still be 37. Daddy, I won’t take advantage of you... Hey, I didn’t even cut the account with your kid in half, how dare you force me to do it for this little money, if I hadn’t fanned the flames with your mother all day long? , can she scare you, a brat? Okay, okay, why are you talking so much nonsense? Just stay in the hotel and don’t run around..."

Zhang Jiefang didn't even remember why her son ran away from home that time. It was either to buy shoes or a game console. Anyway, it was always for money.

Zhang Jiefang only remembered that she had anxiously asked for leave from Jiang Xiaoping that day, and went straight to the Internet cafes and secret rooms where Tang Jiwen often went.

She had no time to eat or drink water after a long day, so she climbed the stairs to go home in vain. But before she reached the fourth floor, she heard Tang Yaocan talking on the phone to the four-door open space there.

"I'm not looking for you anymore. Jiwen is 18 during the Chinese New Year. He's such an old man, and nothing will happen to him even if he thinks about it."

Zhang Jiefang went to work the next day like nothing happened. When Jiang Xiaoping heard what she said, she suddenly smiled and said, "That's right. Jiwen is just relying on your softness to bully you here!"

Tang Yaocan was naturally very "dissatisfied" with her not looking for her son. He kept buzzing in her ears like a fly. He said on the left, "Are you such a mother?" and on the right, "My son doesn't know yet." Where are you suffering?" Zhang Jiefang only said, "You are not a very good father," which made him dumbfounded.

Two days later, Zhang Jiefang estimated that all the money had been spent. Tang Jiwen had no choice but to return home in despair. He probably felt that his face had been lost, and he and Zhang Jiefang had been in a cold war for more than half a year.

But since then, he has never run away from home again. This is the first time since he was in college.

Zhang Jiefang originally thought that her son would have to disappear for at least half a month this time and would not come back until the money was completely spent. Unexpectedly, he came back happily at noon the next day.

"Mom, it turns out you know 'Boss Gu's Summer'? He's the man who is an Internet celebrity and sells furniture... Tsk, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Tang Jiwen didn't even have time to put the bag away, so he came up to her with a smile. Zhang Jiefang was stunned when she saw him like that.

After all, the last time Zhang Jiefang saw Tang Jiwen smiling like this was back when he was in junior high school.

At that time, Tang Jiwen would share with Zhang Jiefang everything he had seen and heard that day after school every day. The two of them ate a piece of roasted starch sausage and walked slowly along the path to their home. Not to mention how happy they were.

Ever since Tang Jiwen's classmates knew that Zhang Jiefang was a bather, and when they quarreled with Tang Jiwen, they said to him, "Your mother is rubbing dust for others, and you eat dust every day, yuck!" Tang Jiwen had never been so close to her again. .

"How do you know...your dad told you, right?" Zhang Jiefang reacted quickly and felt a sudden spasm in her stomach.

"Oh, that's not important. What's important is that you know that Boss Gu! Mom, tell him that I want to have sex with him. Boss Gu is a big internet celebrity. I checked it on the Internet. He does whatever he wants. The turnover of just one live broadcast is tens of millions. It would be a waste if we don’t use such a good resource.”

Tang Jiwen's abacus beads wanted to fall into Zhang Jiefang's face. Zhang Jiefang was surprised to find that the look on her son's face was exactly the same as when Tang Yaocan tried to swindle money from her, and she suddenly felt like vomiting.

Zhang Jiefang has always known in her heart that Tang Jiwen's essence is exactly the same as Tang Yaocan's, but she always deceives herself and doesn't want to admit it. Now that the facts are so obvious in front of her eyes, it's impossible for her to pretend not to see them.
