Chapter 2: Mysterious Gossip Money
The man in the suit saw that Liang Chen was going to take Xiao Jing away, and immediately stepped forward to stop him, Liang Chen stretched out his hand to beat him, but was separated by Xiao Jing, she whispered a few words to the man in the suit, saying that he just went to the door to say a few words, and the man in the suit stopped.
It was completely dark outside, and on the crowded road, Liang Chen stopped, took a few deep breaths, and asked her as calmly as possible: "Why are you doing this to me?"
For two months, he has been kept in the dark, which makes Liang Chen very sad, for the sake of Xiaojing, he gave up the opportunity to study at other universities, gave up his familiar hometown to come to Jiangdong City, and also broke the hearts of his parents, but he didn't expect to get such a result.
He didn't want to mention the living expenses that he had saved by himself in the wind and sun, reluctant to eat and wear, and now he just wanted to understand why this was!
Xiao Jing lowered her head and was silent for a long time before she spoke calmly: "Liang Chen, I know that you are very good to me, but let's break up, we are not suitable......"
Finally hearing the words break up, Liang Chen's emotions were out of control again, and he roared on the spot: "I just want to know why the this is!!"
"Because... Because I don't want to delay you......"
Xiao Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "I'm sorry, I don't want to see you work so hard...... My mother is sick and needs tens of thousands of yuan in medical expenses. I still have younger siblings in school, and the little money you earn won't help me at all. ”
The words have already been said, Xiao Jing didn't want to hide it anymore, and said calmly: "And...... I want my parents to have a good life, I want to bring them all to the city, and I want my younger siblings to finish their education......"
Liang Chen's chest rose and fell violently, and these words were like nails, being hammered on his heart, but he was powerless to resist, because he really couldn't earn so much money in a short period of time.
His fists were clenched together, his joints rattled, and he stared coldly into Xiao Jing's eyes and asked, "So you found a rich boy? He can give you these, I can't do it, right?"
Xiao Jing fell silent again, burying her head deeply, but her voice was extremely firm: "A house in Jiangdong City costs at least seven or eight hundred thousand, how long do you have to save......?"
"I understand, you can do it, you really can!" Liang Chen noticed that she was holding the latest Apple phone in her hand, nodded solemnly, and left a sentence of "I hope you don't regret it", and then turned around and left.
He didn't want to listen to these useless excuses anymore!
It's so euphemistic, but it's not that I don't think I have any money? I don't want to make myself hard, but I easily hook up with a rich man, and I'm a liar!
The walking dead walked through the streets, lost the backpack with the transfer jade on his back, and he even forgot how he walked back to the rental house.
Liang Chen lives in a suburban share house, with two bedrooms and one living room, and the person he shares with is surnamed Yang, a 30-year-old outsider who runs a barbecue stall near a university town, and has a smell of meat skewers all day long.
Seeing Liang Chen come back dejected, Lao Yang greeted him with a smile: "Hey, Xiaochen is back, come and sit, my eldest brother is happy today, I fried a few dishes, come and drink a few cups with me." ”
"Brother Yang, why didn't you come out of the stall today?" Liang Chen asked with a blank expression, walked to the small dining table and sat down, he was about to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, but he didn't expect to catch up as soon as he came back.
"Hehe, my hometown called in the morning, saying that my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I have to catch the train back early tomorrow morning. ”
Lao Yang poured him a glass of beer while serving Liang Chen, smiled with a black face, and continued: "I asked someone to ask the hospital to help with the examination, saying that it was a son, and our old Yang family finally had a queen, hahaha......"
Lao Yang already has a daughter, but he has always wanted a son, since his hometown opened a second child, he often runs back, but he didn't expect him to get his wish.
But as soon as he thought of himself and Xiao Jing, Liang Chen lost his appetite, picked up a bottle of beer and opened it, and poured it down, choking and coughing constantly, foaming in his nostrils, Lao Yang saw that he was not quite right, and hurriedly asked him what was wrong.
"It's nothing, I broke up with Xiaojing. Liang Chen sighed, wiped the corners of his mouth, tears swirled in his eyes, and he raised his face to endure it so that it didn't drip down.
"I think it's a big deal, isn't it just a girl, brother, listen to me, this woman is a canary, you can eat and drink well and raise her, she will call around you all day long, otherwise don't think about good results......"
Lao Yang chattered a lot, shook out all his view of love, and finally patted the back of Liang Chen's hand and comforted: "Brother, where is there no grass in the world, just with your appearance, can you still be a bachelor in the future?"
But when Lao Yang's hand touched the back of his hand, Liang Chen's head suddenly tingled, he lowered his head with his forehead, and a golden copper coin suddenly appeared in his mind!
The shape of the copper coin is exactly the same as the gossip money used by the old Taoist priest for divination in the evening, and the money is painted with gossip graphics and eight quaint characters of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui.
It was the appearance of this thing just now that made his head tingle, and there seemed to be a stream of air that passed down his arm to Lao Yang, and then a dense pile of information appeared in his mind:
"Yang Yong, born on September 16 in the year of Renxu, his parents died early, his family was poor, and his brother Yang Tiesheng depended on each other for his life, starting a small business...... Shaocheng's life, died peacefully, two daughters were sent to the end, Shouyuan was seventy-one years old, and died in Yangchun March. ”
"It's... What is this? How can it appear in my mind?" Liang Chen was a little dumbfounded, these few hundred words almost explained Lao Yang's life clearly, but didn't he just say that his wife was pregnant with a son? Who should he believe?
Lao Yang saw that he lowered his head and didn't speak, and thought that he was dizzy after drinking too much, so he kindly persuaded him to go back to his room to rest.
Lying on the bed, Liang Chen didn't feel sleepy, and he didn't even think about Xiao Jing, this sudden appearance of the copper coin made him a little confused, what if Lao Yang really only had two daughters?
His intuition told him that the credibility of this copper coin might be higher than that of the hospital, at least the doctors couldn't make such a miraculous prediction, so he decided to find someone to try it again, and see if the calculation was accurate.
In Jiangdong City, Liang Chen has no other acquaintances, except for Xiao Jing, there are only buns left.
Thinking of this, he flipped out his mobile phone and called Baozi, originally wanting to ask Xiao Jing if she had gone back, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, becoming: "Baozi, do you have time now?"
"What are you doing? Don't look for your Xiaojing, sister, I'm very busy. ”
"I want to invite you to dinner, Bohan barbecue in Xichengkou, I'm waiting for you there. Liang Chen knew that she was not busy at all, but she didn't want to meet him alone, for fear of being misunderstood by Xiao Jing.
Baozi heard from his voice that he was depressed, and asked a few times, but Liang Chen didn't tell her, just said that he would talk again and hung up the phone, and then put on his clothes and went downstairs.
Blown by the cold wind, Liang Chen's head also cleared up a lot, isn't it just money? Others can make a lot of money, why can't they themselves? If this gossip money can really calculate other people's lives, use it to make money!
The promise he had always kept was betrayed, and he didn't care if this thing would bring harm to him, as long as he could make money, nothing else mattered.
When he arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Baozi had been waiting here for a long time, with a little baby fat on his round smiling face, and complained when he met: "I thought you were waiting for me here, I waited for ten minutes in vain, really!"
"I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. Liang Chen took the menu and handed it over, and said, "You can order it, you can order whatever you want, I have a treat today." ”
Then he turned back and shouted, "Boss, have a case of beer!"
"Huh, I remember that you don't usually drink, what's wrong with today, did you quarrel with Xiaojing?" Baozi blinked his eyes, and smiled with questions.
Liang Chen tried his best to pretend to be indifferent, and said concisely: "It's divided!"
He opened a bottle of beer, took a few sips, and the bun opened his eyes wide in astonishment and asked him, "How is it possible? Aren't you very affectionate? I have always envied you both." ”
"She thought I didn't make much money, so I found a rich son. ”
Liang Chen briefly told what happened at night, and Baozi was even more surprised after hearing it, and said with emotion: "Alas, I really didn't expect her to be like this, Liang Chen, you are a good man, really, I will drink with you tonight, and we will not return home if we are not drunk." ”
After that, she also opened a bottle of beer boldly, poured a big sip, choked and coughed, feeling very worthless for Liang Chen. She has always been very envious that Xiao Jing can have such a boyfriend who is willing to give everything for her, but she didn't expect to break up.
Is there still reliable love in this world? At this moment, both of them have such a question in their hearts.
However, Liang Chen did not forget the purpose of his trip, taking advantage of the waiter's barbecue, he took the opportunity of handing the meat skewers to the buns, and lightly touched her fingers.
Sure enough, the information of Baozi appeared in Liang Chen's mind again: "Bao Shuang, born on July 29 in the year of Bingzi, a merchant in the family, a daughter in the palm of his hand, and a fire in the year of cardamom...... Twenty-six years old, died in childbirth. ”
No wonder she didn't want to tell others what her name was, it turned out that her name was Bao Shuang, and this name was too easy to make people think crookedly. Liang Chen finished reading this information with a strange face, and suddenly noticed the last sentence, and his heart was immediately shocked!
"Shou Yuan twenty-six, died in difficult childbirth!"
"Could it be that Baozi can only live to be 26 years old......?
Liang Chen's heart suddenly became inexplicably sad, Baozi has a very cheerful personality, she is a big grinning woman, she always brings laughter to others, but she didn't expect her life to be so short.
Thinking of this, Liang Chen suddenly wanted to predict his fate, but no matter how his left and right hands touched, there was no reaction, so he had to give up helplessly.
This feeling of suffering from gains and losses makes him very uneasy, the fear of death is far greater than the stimulation of falling out of love, in the face of the impermanence of the fate of the world, how many people dare to pat their chests and say that life is precious, and love is more valuable?
"Liang Chen, why are you in a daze? Your phone rang. Baozi heard the mobile phone ringing and reminded him.
Liang Chen came back to her senses, and when she saw that the number turned out to be called by Xiao Jing, it seemed that she had already gone back to the dormitory, because the number showed that it was the Xiaomi mobile phone she gave her.
"Where are you? I want to see you. ”
Xiao Jing's voice was a little hoarse, as if she had cried, Liang Chen felt a twitch in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and asked her in a cold voice: "What are you doing to see me?
