Chapter 23: Brother Loser
The original place is not allowed to live, so you have to find the next place. Chen Xin wandered the streets, hoping to find a place to live, preferably another job.
She hadn't eaten in a long time, and she was already hungry. When you are tired of walking, find a random place to sit down and prepare to rest for a while.
"Madame, why are you here?"
Hearing someone call him, Chen Xin quickly stood up and unexpectedly saw the little cherry.
"Little cherry, you ......"
"Ma'am, what's the matter with your arm? How did it hurt? Xiao Cherry saw Chen Xin's reddened arm, pulled up Chen Xin's hand and said distressedly.
Seeing that she was so down, Little Cherry still cared so much about herself. Chen Xin really felt very moved.
"I'm fine, don't call me Madame, I'm older than you, just call me Sister Xin." Xiao Cherry hesitated at first, Chen Xin pretended to be angry before she changed her words, and when she learned that Chen Xin had nowhere to go, she took Chen Xin back to her home.
Little Cherry's home was old, and there wasn't much furniture in the house, but it was tidy and much better than the little attic she had rented before.
"Husband...... Sister Xin, this will be your home from now on. Little Cherry looked delighted. Seeing Chen Xin's distracted appearance, she thought that Chen Xin was disgusted that her house was too dirty.
"Sister Xin, my house is not dirty, I clean it up every day. I also have an older brother, but he hasn't been back for a long time, so you don't have to worry. ”
Chen Xin was moved to tears, she hugged this little sister who was younger than her, and choked up: "I know, I don't dislike you." Thank you, little cherry! Thank you so much. ”
Little Cherry seemed to be taken aback, and after reacting, she patted Chen Xin's back unskillfully. Feeling someone patting her back, Chen Xin's tears were even more uncontrollable, how many years had she not felt such a touch?
Chen Xin stayed at Little Cherry's house. Xiao Cherry is still on an errand in the Shen Mansion, but she is very sensible, she has not mentioned Chen Xin in the Shen family, nor has she mentioned Shen Yiwen in front of Chen Xin.
Chen Xin found a job, still a dishwasher, but this time in a restaurant.
The restaurant is not big, and the people who eat in it are ordinary people, and they will never meet people like Chen Aihua and Li Tingting.
The proprietress of the restaurant is very nice, and occasionally the customer will bring back the leftover good meal, so she can improve the meal with the little cherry.
On this day, Chen Xin just finished paying his salary, thinking about buying some wool and learning to knit sweaters with Xiao Cherry, so that he could knit one for Xiao Xiao before winter came.
He returned home happily with the money, only to find that a strange man had come to the house.
"Who are you? I can sue you for trespassing on a private house like this! ”
The man's eyes were blank, and when he saw Chen Xin, he didn't say a word, he walked over directly and snatched the cloth bag in Chen Xin's hand, and then rushed out.
All this happened so suddenly, Chen Xin was stunned for two seconds before he reacted.
She...... Is this being robbed?! Or in your own home!
Thinking of this, Chen Xin remembered that Xiao Cherry had said, her brother was a good bet, and the one just now did look a little similar to Xiao Cherry.
Chen Xin was angry and anxious, and the money was snatched away like this? That's half a month's salary!
Little Cherry works on an errand in the Shen Mansion, and the time of work is uncertain. Usually Chen Xin will wait for her to come back, and then the two of them will simply cook some food at home together.
But today, after being robbed of money and unable to knit a sweater for Xiaoxiao, Chen Xin was a little sad, so he walked around the street casually.
After working all day, Chen Xin was already hungry. Walking aimlessly down the street, I suddenly found that the leaves around me had turned yellow. The blazing summer is coming to an end, and the cool autumn is slowly coming.
Fortunately, although his salary was robbed, he still had some change on him, and he could buy a few vegetable buns.
Chen Xin found a tattered breakfast shop on the corner of the street, it was already evening, there was no one in front of the breakfast shop, Chen Xin walked over, and the rickety proprietress smiled happily and was busy greeting.
"Girl, what do you want to eat?"
Chen Xin looked at the kind old man, and unconsciously thought of Shen Yiwen's mother. If the amiable old man who died because of her were still alive, Xiaoxiao would be very happy.
"Auntie, here are two vegetable buns" Chen Xin didn't think about it anymore and replied with a smile.
But the proprietress wrapped four vegetable buns for Chen Xin, and despite Chen Xin's obstruction, she forcibly stuffed them into Chen Xin's hands.
"I think you're a good girl, so go eat it, no one will buy it anyway."
Chen Xin couldn't, so he had to bow and thank him again and again.
If this had been placed in the past, Chen Xin would never have seen such a dilapidated shop at a glance, but now, when she was down, such an ignorant old man gave her the warmth she had not seen for a long time.
Chen Xin brought the four vegetable buns home, and it happened that the little cherry had returned. Chen Xin hesitated, but still told Xiao Cherry what happened today. She was worried that if the man came back, Little Cherry would get hurt.
"Sister Xin, I'm sorry. I will definitely pay you back the money my brother took. Listening to Chen Xin's words, Xiao Cherry panicked all of a sudden, and pulled Chen Xin's arm and promised.
"Little Cherry, it's not your fault. It's just my rent for living here, and it's okay. ”
When Xiao Cherry heard Chen Xin say this, she was even more retired.
"Sister Xin, how can you think that? You live here and don't need ......"
Chen Xin gently pressed the little cherry that jumped up excitedly, "I know, don't get excited, it's okay."
I'm telling you this, not to make you feel guilty, but just to make you pay attention to your brother and not let him hurt you. Worried that Xiao Cherry would misunderstand that he looked down on his brother, Chen Xin added: "I don't think he is in good spirits......
"I know." Little Cherry had red eyes and was about to cry.
"One more thing...... Chen Xin really hesitated now, tangled up for a while, or forget it, don't let Xiao Cherry worry about her anymore.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Chen Xin suddenly stopped talking, Xiao Cherry was afraid that Chen Xin would encounter something and would not tell her for fear of affecting her, so she hurriedly grabbed Chen Xin and asked.
Chen Xin saw Xiao Cherry's worries, but she really couldn't tell Xiao Cherry about this matter, it was her own business after all.
Chen Xin laughed: "And there is...... It's time for you to wash your hair, look at your head, you can fry a dish of oil. As soon as Little Cherry heard this, she screamed and covered her head and ran away.
Chen Xin looked at the back of Little Cherry, and the smile on his face gradually dissipated.
On the way back just now, she ran into Little Cherry's brother again. In a small alley, she saw him talking to someone.
That person, Chen Xin knew, was the Qinggang man who said he knew the cause of her father's death and asked her to help escape from Shen Yiwen. Chen Xin didn't hold back, and quietly went to the vicinity of the two of them and secretly listened to it.
Chen Xin heard that the green gang ruffian said to Little Cherry's brother that he should pay attention to it recently, saying that someone was investigating the cause of her father's death.
With his previous experience, Chen Xin kept covering his mouth to avoid making any noise that would disturb the two people in the depths of the alley.
Hearing this news, Chen Xin was really struck by lightning. Her father was really killed.
Why? My father is such a good person, but he has always tried his best to help some poor people when he was alive!
The next day, Chen Xin and Xiao Cherry went to work together. When the two of them walked to the corner of the street, a person came up to them.
"Brother! How did you get back? Little Cherry looked at the visitor and cried out in surprise.
Chen Xin looked at this person who robbed him of his money the day before, and now he dared to come to him so arrogantly, and felt ridiculous and angry.
But for the sake of Xiao Cherry's face, she didn't care about yesterday's events.
However, she still had to ask about her father.
"Cherry, who is this? Why don't you introduce your brother? The man asked angrily. Little Cherry almost subconsciously blocked Chen Xin behind her, and Chen Xin's heart warmed.
"My name is Chen Xin, little cherry's friend." Chen Xin didn't want to embarrass Little Cherry.
"!" The man scolded rudely, "What kind of friends can she have?" I think you see that she is a bully, and you fall in love with the house left by my parents. ”
"Brother! Sister Xin is not such a person. Little Cherry shouted angrily. The man seemed to be impatient, so he directly pushed Xiao Cherry away, dragged Chen Xin's arm and walked home.
Little Cherry wants to push the man away, but she, a little girl who is not an adult, can not withstand the strength of an adult man.
Chen Xin struggled hard, opened his mouth and bit the man's arm, and ran away while the man was in pain.
The man was furious: "You grandma!" You damn slut, if I don't obey you today, I'm not a fucking man. ”
The vulgar and vulgar words woke up Xiao Cherry at once, looking at her brother who ran after Chen Xin, she felt that something was wrong, and remembered what the man had just said, and suddenly felt anxious.
When he raised his eyes, he saw a phone booth on the opposite side, and hurriedly ran to the opposite side of the road to make a call to the Shen Mansion.
She was also clever, and she didn't directly say that something happened to Chen Xin, knowing that the servants of the Shen Mansion looked down on Chen Xin.
Instead, he directly said that there was a brawl here, Shen Yiwen has always loved the people, and he will definitely come over when he hears the news.
After making the call, Little Cherry ran in the direction of her brother. That direction is the direction of the moat, and the river is choppy.
When Little Cherry arrived, she saw Chen Xin leaning on the guardrail, and her brother blocked in front of Chen Xin, reaching out as if he wanted to hug Chen Xin.
Little Cherry was about to run over to stop her brother when she heard a gunshot behind her. Immediately after, there was the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.
Little Cherry's eyes widened, and she looked in Chen Xin's direction in disbelief, as if everything around her was still. Sister Xin, how could you jump into the river?!
What she didn't expect was that almost the next second of Chen's heartbeat, a vigorous voice also jumped down. Seeing such a scene, Little Cherry collapsed directly on the ground, unable to recover for a long time.
About half an hour later, Shen Yiwen walked up from the steps by the river with Chen Xin, who was unconscious, soaked and holding him. Soon an adjutant drove over and picked up Shen Yiwen and Chen Xin. Looking at the direction, it was to go to the hospital.
