114 landlords
Seeing that there were already dead people, those people in the underground money bank didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
But he also moved all the valuable things in the house, and everything that could be moved.
The Li family is really a family with four walls, and they are destitute.
The Li family has two daughters, the eldest Li Pingping and the second Li Rongrong.
That year, in fact, Li Pingping had already been admitted to university.
Li Rongrong went to high school.
Li Pingping saw the dilemma at home, her mother who was sick in bed, and still owed so many foreign debts, so she teared up the admission letter with tears and chose to come to the city to work alone.
She didn't drop her sister out of school.
I hope my sister can continue her dream of going to university.
After Li Pingping arrived in the provincial capital, she also started as a waitress, she worked very hard, working three jobs by herself.
I was so tired that I was malnourished and fainted many times.
But she gritted her teeth and endured it.
But this kind of money is still a drop in the bucket.
The foreign debts in the family, the mother's medicine expenses, and the sister's tuition fees are still like three mountains, pressing on Li Pingping's body.
In fact, at that time, many people persuaded her that you don't have to work so hard, you are young and beautiful, and you can have an easier way to earn money.
There are even men in the city who said that they can support her and be their second wife.
But they were all rejected by Li Pingping.
Because she feels that although she is poor, she still has to have self-esteem and a bottom line.
......
"How did that Niu Niu come about, and what did you do in this business?" I asked.
Since Li Pingping has taken the initiative to say, then I can ask.
"When I was in high school, I had a boyfriend, and we had an appointment to go to college together, but then I missed the appointment and he went to a city in the south alone. During that time, I was miserable and I felt like the love I was expecting was lost. But in the summer of the first semester of my freshman year, the boy found me and said that he still loved me and didn't forget me, and I was very touched, so we were together. The boy had told me that he was willing to share with me, and when he graduated, he had a job, and he would help me pay off my family's debts and marry me. He stayed with me for a week, and I felt like it was my happiest day, even forgetting the pain in my life. Later, when he left, I was surprised to find out that I was pregnant. Li Pingping said.
I guessed the rest of the story.
is another story of an infatuated woman with a negative heart.
The boy took advantage of Li Pingping, and after saying a bunch of bold words, he was not responsible.
"Then that man changed his mind, did he have another girlfriend, or did he start to dislike you for your low education and heavy family burden, and you didn't deserve him?" I asked.
"No, he didn't change his mind, he didn't have a new girlfriend, he didn't dislike me for not being worthy of him, he cried with fright. Li Pingping replied.
I was surprised.
"Scared to tears?"
"yes, scared to cry, when I told him on the phone that I was pregnant, he cried. He was nervous, ten times more nervous than when I found out I was pregnant. I should have asked him what to do and asked him to give me an idea, but it turned out that he started asking me what to do. He said that he was still a student, he couldn't be responsible for me, he had no idea, he was messy, and he even blamed me for not taking good measures, and now let him be so passive, so that he has no coping at all. Do you know how disappointed I was when I heard this? I thought he was my dependence and expectation, but I found that he couldn't count on him at all. I fell in love with a man who didn't take responsibility at all. Li Pingping laughed self-deprecatingly.
"So he let you hit the kid?" I asked.
"No...... If he directly asked me to kill the child, although he was ruthless, but at least it was a man's attitude, but he didn't say anything, just cried, just sighed, that is, he didn't know what to do, he had never encountered this kind of thing, he was still a child, how could he decide such a big thing? ”
When it came to "he is still a child himself", the corners of Li Pingping's mouth rose, which was irrepressible sarcasm.
I'm speechless too.
I just thought that Li Pingping might have met a scumbag.
But I didn't expect that he met not only a scumbag, but also a scumbag who loves to cry.
This is the best among scumbags, right?
Many scumbags brag to their faces and evade responsibility afterwards.
This is good, just hearing the news of his girlfriend's pregnancy, he was already scared to pee his pants.
It's a big surprise.
"And then, this person never contacted you again?" I asked.
"No, the next day, he came, and brought his mother with him. His mother scolded me, saying that I was shameless, that I had seduced her son, that I should not delay his son's studies, that his son would be a pillar of society in the future, and that he could not be destroyed in the hands of a vixen like me. said that even if his son slept with me, it was my own volition, and my son would not bear any responsibility. No one knows what a woman like me does working in a provincial town, so no one can guarantee who the child in my womb is. Even if it's his son's, it must have been a trap I designed. Therefore, if I take the belly child and talk about the conditions, I am blackmailing them......"
When Li Pingping said this, there was no anger in her tone.
Some are just boundless mockery.
"I was insulted like this by his mother for half an hour, and the man didn't even lift his head during the whole time, and my heart was completely dead. I knew I was looking at the wrong person, such a man, I couldn't count on it, and the child in my belly couldn't be counted on, so I left. Seeing me leave, his mother took out 1,000 yuan from her pocket and threw it to me, saying that it was the cost of letting me have an abortion. ”
Speaking of this, Li Pingping looked up at me and even laughed.
This time it wasn't a mocking laugh, but a really ridiculous one: "At this time the man finally spoke, and said the first sentence, guess what he said?"
I tried to think.
Trying to substitute himself into the thinking of a scumbag.
But I really can't imagine what he would say at that time to make this woman with a dead heart want to laugh?
Say that although I can't be responsible for you, I love you?
In fact, this is all my mother's idea, I am a mother's boy, don't you blame me?
I uttered these two speculations.
Li Pingping shook her head.
"No, what he said is, Mom, I asked before, it only costs 600 yuan to get a baby, and you give more. Look, what a careful person, or a filial son, I'm afraid my mother will suffer. I even wondered if he would let me provide an invoice if I did have an abortion, so that I wouldn't have to misrepresent my accounts or something. ”
After listening to Li Pingping's words, I was completely speechless.
......
"I left at that time, but his mother, like a thief, stared at me every day to see when I would kill the child and when I would have an abortion, so that their family would no longer have to worry about the future. In fact, when I found out that I was pregnant, I was also very confused, helpless, and didn't know what to do. It's hard enough for me to work outside the home alone, I still have such a big family burden, I'm not married yet, and to be honest, I can't afford to raise such a child at all. But that man and his mother, so excessive, so domineering, filled my heart with injustice and anger. At that time, I decided that I must fight for a breath, this child, I will give birth! No matter how hard it is, I will give birth to this child! She is already pitiful enough, with such a brute father, there can be no more such a cruel mother. Although I decided to give birth to Niuniu after fighting for a breath, but now I think that this is the wisest decision in my life, I can have nothing, but I can't live without Niuniu, Niuniu is the most valuable treasure in my life, and it is the greatest hope in my life. ”
After listening to her words, I sincerely admired: "Sister Pingping, so I said, you are a good mother." ”
Li Pingping smiled: "But it's always easy to say, but in fact, life is too difficult." In order not to be harassed by them, I moved out of my previous place, and I couldn't get my rent deposit back for several months, so I changed to another job and started working while preparing to have a baby. Because I want to save enough money so that I can have a bite to eat and take care of my family during confinement. I didn't dare to tell my family about my pregnancy until I gave birth, for fear that they would stop me. Later, when I finally gave birth, I returned to my hometown and gave birth to the child in my hometown. Although it is relatively wealthy, it is still a rural village after all, so people love to gossip, and the fact that I gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock is also a storm in the city, and the gossip continues, but fortunately, my mother has always supported me. Three months after the child was born, I went back to the provincial capital to continue working, Niuniu let my mother watch, but my mother's health was very bad, she was weak, so after Niuniu was one year old, I could only bring Niuniu to my side. ”
Speaking of this, Li Lili looked into the distance, her eyes full of pain.
This kind of pain is more profound than when I talked about that scumbag before.
"My pressure is even greater, I work harder, because I have Niuniu by my side, so I can't work full-time, I can only work part-time, seven or eight jobs a day, barely making ends meet. Later, in one family, the male owner of that family actually strengthened me. Afterwards, I wanted to report that I wanted the brute to go to jail, but the brute gave me 10,000 yuan and told me that he wanted to be private. Because of the report, even if he goes to prison, I won't get anything, and I will ruin my reputation. He wanted me to be sensible and do what was best for me. In fact, I hate him to death, I also hate the 10,000 yuan, I really want to tear up the money in a chic way, I want to say to him, put away your stinky money, I have a lot of backbone, I just want you to pay the price. But I thought of Niuniu's milk powder money, my sister's tuition fee, my mother's medicine expenses, and the unpaid foreign debts, I couldn't be chic, and I couldn't eat as a meal, so I endured it, I picked up the money, and I didn't pursue it. When the man saw that I had compromised, he actually said that I should be his mistress, but I refused. But it was so easy to get the money, and I was so tired, and since then, I've broken the jar and broken it, and I've started doing it. In this business, not only do I earn a lot of money, but I also have more free time to spend with my daughter. That's my story. ”
After Li Pingping finished speaking, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Why, you'd rather do this than be someone else's mistress?" I asked.
"Because...... I don't want to know which woman I slept with. I'd feel guilty about that. Li Pingping replied.
Her answer was in line with my thoughts.
I think I'd rather be a young lady than a junior.
"But why did you do that with the landlady yesterday?" I said.
"Hehe, you mean I deliberately seduced her husband in front of her, right?"
Li Pingping smiled, and then said sarcastically: "This couple, there is no good person! The landlord's wife is bitter and cruel, loves money like life, and even has unclean hands and feet, stealing tenants' things." As for the landlord, you haven't seen it yet, it's even cheaper, you can't move when you see a woman, and I know that there are several female tenants who have been bullied by him. There is a big girl who is still a yellow flower, and after being spoiled by him, he wanted to report it, but he was threatened and intimidated by them, and then sent away with money. The landlord kept beating me up and said he was going to marry me and divorce his current wife. Of course I knew he was bluffing me, just to get me into bed without having to pay for it. But I didn't let him really take advantage of me. Although I came out to sell, I never did free business, and as for being angry with his wife, it was just acting. ”
At this point, I no longer have any doubts about Li Pingping in my heart.
......
Li Pingping and I talked for more than half an hour, and then we returned to the rented compound together.
Through the hidden door, I could see that Niuniu was sitting on a small bench reading a book very seriously.
Li Pingping proudly said to me that Niuniu is very smart, and now she knows more than 100 words, and she can memorize multiplication formulas.
After the breakup, I went back to my house, took a short rest, and then went to the night market.
Although I have already made up my mind to do business here, I must step on the bottom beforehand.
Where to set up a stall, whether you need to pay a management fee, and try not to conflict with the rest of the stall owners, these are all practical issues that need to be considered.
I had been in the night market for most of the day, and I had a casual pancake at noon, and I had a general idea of what I needed to know.
......
In the afternoon, I bought some daily necessities and took them back to the rental house.
Wait until after 7 p.m. to check out the night market.
In the afternoon, the yard is quieter.
A lot of people went out to work.
When I came to my room, I found a man with his back to me, studying the new lock on my door.
Seeing me approaching, the man turned around and came to him, a man in his early forties.
Short eyebrows, small eyes, and a very long donkey face.
smiled, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.
Up close, long nose hairs poking out of the nostrils.
In short, a very obscene and disgusting man.
Seeing that I looked at him with a puzzled expression, the man introduced himself: "I am the landlord, you can call me Brother Zhao." You're a new tenant, aren't you?"
"Hello landlord, I'm Joe Huanxi. I said hello, opened the door, and walked into my house.
Unexpectedly, the landlord walked in with me.
First, with his hands behind his back, like a tourist shopping, he looked my house inside and out, up and down.
"It's well packed, it's clean. ”
As he spoke, he groped around the table, as if to see if there was any dust.
I didn't expect him to come in and look up to see what else was going on.
The landlord rubbed his hands and smiled: "You can tell me anything, it's not easy for you to go out as a woman, and I will take care of whatever I can." ”
Originally, his appearance disgusted me very much.
Coupled with the story I heard from Li Pingping, I became even more vigilant.
The show of favor to him is also as a weasel to the chicken New Year's greetings.
So he didn't say anything, just snorted lightly.
But the landlord still won't leave.
He sat down on my bed, and then sneakily pulled something out of his pocket and mysteriously stuffed it under the pillow.
"Moving to a new house, there is nothing to give, this is a little meeting gift from Brother Zhao. ”
I was so far away that I couldn't see what he was sending.
But intuitively it's not going to be a good thing.
So I walked over and pulled out a bag from under my pillow.
It's actually a pack of condoms!
This disgusting man actually sent me something like this!
Seeing me looking at him angrily, the landlord looked innocent: "Girl, don't get me wrong, this is a good heart! This is to protect you! Otherwise, if you meet someone who looks at the right eye, take it back and indulge it for a while and forget about it, it will kill people." You have to listen to Brother Zhao's words, Brother Zhao is from the past, and everything he says to you is good for you......"
He's still chattering, and I've opened the door and thrown that thing out.
Then he said sharply to the disgusting man, "Get out!"
The landlord shook the donkey's face and said with a smile, "Go out, isn't this my house?"
I sneered: "But now it's rented by me, this is my house!"
Seeing my attitude, the landlord had to reluctantly leave.
......
In the evening, I went to the night market again to experience the bustling city of the night market up close.
I have more confidence in my future business.
Go back to the rental house and turn off the lights and go to bed.
But in the confusion, I had that creepy feeling again.
I don't feel sure.
I opened my eyes suddenly.
There were no lights or windows in the room, and it was pitch black.
I couldn't see anything clearly.
But I always feel like something is peeking at me in the dark!
Or is it still a mouse?
But it doesn't feel the same as the feeling of meeting a mouse last night.
I tried to keep my eyes on it, slowly searching the room.
Finally, I saw a faint glimmer of light on the right wall!
