She just said that, but she didn't expect her sister to really choose science.

Before Lin Jie didn't choose science, Lin Xiao couldn't wait for Lin Jie to choose science, but after she really chosen, Lin Xiao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and felt that it didn't seem to be a science subject chosen by her sister, so she couldn't help but wonder if it would be more twists and turns if she chose the science college entrance examination?

"Sister, why don't you study liberal arts?" She also asked when she went to bed at night.

For a long time, I didn't hear Lin Jie's answer.

Lin Xiao got up slightly and looked at Lin Jie, who was already asleep, and his heart was very dull.

There were only two sisters in the cramped room, and her parents had gone out to do a fish business, but she couldn't sleep, even though it had only erupted half a month later, and she couldn't help but tremble when she thought about it.

She always remembered the details of that day.

She was very scared, even if she faced it again, she would still be afraid.

It's tomorrow, it's tomorrow's fish money, you can't let Lin Changfu go to the buyer to get it, you have to let her go, Lin Changfu disappeared for two days as soon as he got the money, sometimes Lin Xiao couldn't figure out why he did this, he could only infer that his inferior nature was difficult to change, and he always had a few attacks a year, and then quietly came back after the matter calmed down, always tossing back and forth like this, when he didn't toss, he looked like a good person, and when he tossed, he was disgusted.

He was still looking for someone to borrow money, and he didn't pay it back, and he didn't borrow tens of thousands, but only a few hundred yuan, and he swore at that time that he would be able to repay it in a few days-he couldn't pay it back anyway, and the person who asked for the debt came to the door, and he was used to seeing this kind of thing with Lin Jie since he was a child, so that when he saw a stranger coming to the door, he let anyone who could make the two sisters frightened and could get a little bit of kinship and a little bit of history to borrow, as long as he didn't feel that anyone who couldn't open his mouth borrowed-

Lin Xiaoyi lied, probably just to learn from him, see more, don't need to learn, naturally will, she still has the habit of petty theft, although she changed later, but when she thought of these things, she felt that it was a shame, and that shame was deeply engraved on her body, making her extremely inferior.

I don't know what time I fell asleep, and suddenly I heard the sound of the door being opened, and she sat up immediately, this sitting, so that Zhao Xia, who had just come back from selling fish, was startled, she was full of fishy smell, her face was tired, she was medium, and she was a little thin, and she was carrying a bulging black nylon bag in her hand-

"Ah Xue?"

She screamed.

Lin Xiao watched her put the nylon bag into a large basin, all her nose could touch was the fishy smell, the smell was so strong that she almost retched, she looked at Lin Jie, who was still asleep, and went to the ground barefoot, "Mom, did you get the fish money back?" ”

"Where did you get the money back so quickly," Zhao Xia was a little tired, but she was full of energy, she got water, her movements were very light, she wiped her face first, then took off her clothes, and tried to wipe her body, "Be quiet, don't wake up your sister, you have to report to school tomorrow." ”

Lin Xiao was a little anxious, "Can you get the money tomorrow morning?" ”

"What do you do with all this money?" Zhao Xia didn't take it to heart, but when she was asked again and again, she was a little suspicious in her heart, put the towel down in the water and rubbed it a few times, and wiped her body with her back to Lin Xiao, "Do you want to take money?" ”

Lin Xiao is a black history, and she usually doesn't have a single pocket money, she has a little love number that loves to read romance novels, those books are rented out in bookstores, and one costs five cents a day, she usually rents books to read, sometimes she can't afford to pay for books when she rents a book, and when she sees the money there, she usually touches it -

Or sometimes, I want to pretend that I have money.

Classmates have change in hand, more than ten or twenty yuan, unlike her, sometimes she doesn't even have a dime on hand, so she always thinks about asking for money, and if she can't get money, she touches the money at home, no wonder Zhao Xia thinks so.

"No," Lin Xiao denied, sometimes regretting the confusion of her youth, she just wanted to change, start to change it from now on, don't want those bad habits, she squatted beside Zhao Xia, "Mom, I heard that Dad borrowed money again, don't let him get the money, you go get the money yourself......"

Zhao Xia changed into a sweatshirt, the collar of the sweatshirt was huge, it was broken, she was reluctant to lose it, so she wore it on her body as pajamas, listening to the little daughter say this, there was no more vigilance, but she looked at the little daughter suspiciously, and asked sternly, "Who did you listen to say that your father is borrowing money?" ”

"A lot of people say that," Lin Xiao made himself look a little aggrieved in a timely manner, and looked at Zhao Xia with a smile, "Mom, is Dad gambling again?" ”

Zhao Xia looked at her little daughter's aggrieved appearance, and suddenly fell silent.

She sat on the edge of the bed and didn't move for a long time.

"Your dad, your dad, he doesn't, he won't."

Lin Xiao squatted there, squatting silently, not saying anything.

After a while, I waited for Zhao Xia to be not very confident.

She looked up at Zhao Xia, squatted over, grabbed Zhao Xia's knees with both hands, and with the blink of her eyes, tears came down, not pretending, but real, as long as she thought about what she had experienced again, tears would unconsciously come up, "Mom, if he is like that again, what should we do, my sister and I still have to study......"

"No matter how muddy your father is, can he still make you unable to read?" Zhao Xia said hesitantly, wanting to pull up the squatting little daughter, "You are all so old, he will know how to do it." ”

At the back, she seemed to be firm again.

"For example, if she does this again, then what will I do with Ah Xiao, don't you study?"

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and wanted to speak more strictly, but suddenly heard another voice, which was her sister Lin Jie, and saw that her sister did not get up, but was lying in the bed, so she looked over and looked at Zhao Xia, "Mom, if he gambles again, and finds someone to borrow money and doesn't pay it back, and then takes the fish money, what are you going to do, what are you going to do with Ah Xiao?" ”

"How, how is it possible?!" Zhao Xia subconsciously refuted her eldest daughter's words, and the firmness that had just risen seemed to be a little less, and a trace of panic flashed on her face, "What's wrong with you two sisters at night, you all say this kind of thing to me, that's your father, how can you say that about him?" ”

"Just because it's our father," Lin Xiao stood up and looked at Lin Jie, "Sister, what if we can't read?" ”

Lin Jie didn't get up from the bed, she was still lying there, as if she was weak, "Mom, you know him, it's not the first time, do you expect him to change?" I haven't done it this year, but is that tendon in my body uncomfortable again, and I want to do it again? ”

Compared with Lin Xiao's words, Zhao Xia was more willing to listen to Lin Jie's words, and the hesitation and hesitation in her eyes were undoubtedly revealed, "Your father will come back later, he was originally going to get the money, and I was going to get the money, is this okay?" ”

"What's wrong with you taking the money?" Lin Xiao couldn't help but get anxious, and his voice raised a little, "If you don't take the money, the money will be taken away for him to gamble, what will you give back to others?" ”

"He won't be so unconscionable." Zhao Xia lowered her head, didn't look at her two daughters, and pulled her hands tightly together, as if that would convince her that Lin Changfu would not do that kind of thing again, "He won't be so unconscionable, does he want this family?" ”

"He wants it," Lin Xiao replied to her lightly, standing extremely straight, looking at Zhao Xia who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and suddenly had a condescending feeling, "When did he not want to go home?" When did you not take money or borrow money from cheating, lose it outside, go home, and then throw these debts to you? When is this not the case? When would he not want this home? With you working hard to pay him back, why doesn't he want this family......"

"Smack-"

Lin Xiao's head tilted to the side.

Her face was hot and painful, but she didn't touch her face, just stared at Zhao Xia.

Lin Jie finally couldn't lie down, quickly got up from the bed, pulled Lin Xiao aside, and looked at Lin Xiao's red face, as if it was slapped in her face, "Mom, if you don't get the money tomorrow, I'll go to my uncle's house, let him and my aunt do it, and let them get the money by themselves......"

"You kid-" Zhao Xia looked at her hand in a daze, and then looked at the little daughter with her head crooked, and she didn't know why she slapped her like that, and said something sneeringly, but she couldn't say anything else.

"If you don't take it, don't take it," Lin Jie said, pulling Lin Xiao away, reaching out to try to touch her face, seeing Lin Xiao dodging in pain, she said disheartenedly, "It's all up to you, you can do whatever you like." ”

I don't know how, she felt that what Lin Xiao said was true, what she had experienced was not only engraved in Lin Xiao's heart, but also in Lin Jie's heart, always in the panic of having no money to study, such a panic was not a day or two, but many years.

Lin Xiao really felt pain.

She had been beaten, but she had never been slapped like this, at this moment, her heart was cold, and even the blood on her body was cold, so cold that she was afraid.

But she looked at Lin Jie, and Lin Jie pursed her mouth silently, which made her feel a little warm.

"Sister, I'm afraid—" She squeezed around Lin Jie.

Lin Jie held her hand tightly and didn't say a word.

Both were afraid.

One is afraid because he knows everything again, and the other is afraid because of the unpredictable and dangerous future that is coming.

After a while, Lin Changfu also returned.

It also smells fishy.

The taste is stronger than Zhao Xia.

His eyes were a little tired, his spirit was more than Zhao Xia, and he was drenched in cold water outside, and he slept in the bed naked, and told Zhao Xia, "Call me at nine o'clock tomorrow, and I told someone to get the money." ”

Zhao Xia nodded.

It was a particularly quiet night.

It was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.
