Chapter 2 Cheap Family Affection
At that moment, I was completely stunned.
Su Yun'er told me a few years ago that in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, my mother abandoned me and ran away, and today, Su Yuner's father has also run away.
Her crying echoed in the living room for a long time, and I had never seen Su Yun'er cry so fiercely.
Should I look up to the sky and laugh at the immortality of reincarnation, or should I step forward and comfort Su Yun'er, who was already crying miserably?
After hesitating for a moment, in the end, I chose to comfort Su Yun'er in her bitter crying, after all, I have also experienced the grief of being abandoned by my loved ones.
I squatted in front of Su Yun'er, and said to her with a trace of distress on my face: "Your father ran away, just like my mother ran away back then, I can understand your pain." Su Yun'er, cheer up, in the days without parents, we must live strongly. ”
Su Yun'er glanced at me, she blinked her big teary eyes, as if she had made a lot of determination, bit her lip fiercely, wiped a handful of tears vigorously, said not to cry or not to cry, and then handed me the note in her hand.
I took it and took a look, only to understand the reason why my stepfather ran away, it turned out that over the years, my stepfather's temperament had changed greatly because my mother had run away, and he would go gambling almost every night, causing him to lose all his savings earlier and owe a lot of gambling debts.
Just last night, the stepfather was beaten by the creditor because he couldn't repay the gambling debt, and the other party threatened to kill the stepfather, which scared the stepfather to run away overnight.
Before escaping, his stepfather left this note, which was regarded as an explanation to Su Yun'er. At the end of the note there was a paragraph addressed to me.
The stepfather wrote: "Chu Siqi, for the sake of your stepfather's kindness to you in the past few years, please be kind to Yun'er!" ”
Hehe......
This laughter belonged to Su Yun'er, she smiled self-deprecatingly, and didn't say anything, but it made my heart sour.
I understand that if it weren't for my stepfather's running away and causing Su Yun'er's huge blow, she would never cry in front of me.
Alas, the same is the end of the world!
At that moment, I sympathized with Su Yun'er and myself.
Su Yun'er got up from the floor, she took a long breath, gritted her teeth and walked to her bedroom, and said to me without looking back: "Forget it, nothing happened this morning!" ”
I gazed at her pitiful back, and knew that the pain in her heart must have been intense, but I had to pretend that she didn't care, she was like a hedgehog, in pain, and she just wanted to curl up and hide in the corner and shiver.
"Su Yun'er!"
Suddenly, I called out to her and plucked up the courage to say to her: "I just want to tell you that I am a man in the family now, and I will take care of ...... Take care of you! ”
I wanted to say that I would take care of this family, but I still euphemistically said to take care of her, and now this family is almost fragmented, and I am the only man left, and if I am a man, I have to take responsibility, and I must shoulder the responsibility of taking care of this family.
As for taking care of Su Yun'er, it doesn't exist, I'm just a soothing word, in the deepest part of my heart, I won't forget her indifference and contempt for me earlier, as well as bullying, because of her crying and tears this morning!
Su Yun'er turned her head slowly, her face was full of shock, obviously she didn't expect me to 'take care of her'.
She looked at me in disbelief for a moment and asked, "You take care of me?" What do you use to take care of me? Take care of me with your compassion for me at this moment? Save it, my dad ran away, he didn't deposit money in the tuition bank card at all, and neither of us went to the first middle school today to pay tuition. ”
After she finished speaking, she looked directly at me, stretched out her hand and said, "If you take care of me, the tuition will be paid!" ”
"I ......"
was forced to look at Su Yun'er, and I was so embarrassed that I couldn't answer.
Her words are very pertinent, it is true, taking care of a person is not to say, but to do it really, I have no money, I haven't been able to eat enough in the past few years, how can I have tuition money.
I impulsively wanted to take care of this family before, but in exchange for the ridicule of reality, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny!
"You...... What are you doing? ”
Su Yun'er seemed to vent all her anger at this moment, pointed at me and yelled: "For so many years, what is the difference between you and waste, eat my dad's, use my dad's, my dad asked you to treat me better, can you?" Except for hiding in the bed and crying in the middle of the night, apart from the obscenity you did to me back then, what are you left with? ”
“……”
This remark made me blush, and I didn't refute it, because everything Su Yun'er said was true.
"Alas!"
Su Yun'er suddenly sighed and said with a wry smile: "I know you are for my good, I shouldn't have said this about you, I'm sorry, I started to be too excited." Forget it, I'm my sister, so I asked me to borrow money from my relatives and pay the tuition for both of us today. ”
"Don't, I'll figure it out!"
I said it head-on, but I didn't expect Su Yun'er's attitude to change suddenly, and apologized to me, she was brought home from the orphanage by her stepfather, how can she have any relatives, in this county, she no longer has any relatives except for her stepfather.
And I, in addition to my mother who ran away, I also have a sister-in-law.
"You?" Su Yun'er sneered, and she could hear that she didn't believe that I could borrow money at all.
I gritted my teeth and nodded and said that it was me, I would go to borrow money, watch people in the cracks of the other door, and flatten people, I also added that if I can't borrow money to pay for tuition, I won't go home!
Su Yun'er shrugged her shoulders and said casually, which stimulated me to open the door and rush out.
But when I got downstairs, I regretted that I was impulsive, and indeed I still have an aunt in this county, but since my mother ran away, my aunt basically didn't care about me, even if I was beaten by my stepfather and went to her to cry, my aunt kept her face stiff and didn't speak.
At the end, my aunt burst into tears when she saw me talking, she handed me a tissue at most, and then said to me Qiqi, you are a man, endure the calm for a while, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, hurry home!
This happened several times, and I understood one thing, my aunt didn't want to see me. Later, I also saw that this world is so indifferent, even if it is your relatives, as long as you are poor and destitute, few people are willing to see you.
I obviously know that my aunt is indifferent to me, but since the words have already been said to Su Yun'er, even if I kneel, I will beg my aunt to borrow money for my tuition.
I made up my mind, and then I walked towards my aunt's house.
When I came to my aunt's house, she was about to take her cousin, who was half a year younger than me and was in her first year of high school this year.
My cousin is tall, bright and moving, with a pair of ponytails, full of vigor like a warm sun, and when she laughs, she has a pair of small dimples on her face, which makes people feel comfortable and breathy.
But my cousin, who usually smiled and sunny, had a very gloomy face when she saw me enter the house, and before I could call her, my cousin directly expressed her thoughts.
"Chu Siqi, don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you came to my house this morning, if you are here to complain or borrow money, trouble, please leave directly, my mother is still busy taking me to the new school to sign up!"
She didn't call me cousin, and every time I saw her in the past few years, she wouldn't give me a good face, and this morning was no exception.
My face suddenly turned red, as if I had been caught red-handed as a thief, and I hadn't spoken yet, my cousin was so thoughtful that she actually guessed my intention, but her words sounded very damning!
Seeing my voice, my cousin sneered, turned her head to my aunt and said, "Mom, don't pay attention to Chu Siqi, he is just a waste, every time he comes back to our house, he either cries and complains that he is bullied or that he is dizzy from hunger, by the way, there are still buns left in the kitchen that the dog has not eaten, you can give it to him, let's go to school quickly!" ”
"I ......"
When the words of borrowing money came to my mouth, I stopped stiffly, in the eyes of my cousin, I was not even as good as their dog, and the buns that the dog hadn't eaten were brought to me to eat.
I smiled bitterly in my heart, but when I thought that there was still Su Yun'er at home waiting for me to take the money back, I could only grit my teeth, ignore my cousin's cynicism, and look at my aunt who didn't say a word with a forced smile.
I said with difficulty: "Auntie, you are my only elder in this county, please borrow ...... for the sake of my mother's affection."
I haven't said all my words, I just heard my cousin scream, she slapped on the TV cabinet, and said with disdain at me: "Chu Siqi, you still want to be shameless, I have said so ugly, are you pretending not to understand, or are you deaf at all?" ”
My heart sank, I looked at my cousin, and said, "Linlin, I can't help it, I ......"
"I'm Nima, I'm ......" Xiang Linlin rushed over and pushed me, and said angrily: "Get out, you are not welcome in our family!" ”
I was pushed out of her house by Xiang Linlin like a lost dog, looking at my aunt who had not spoken from beginning to end, my eyes were full of longing, hoping that my aunt could help me.
I also want to leave with my sleeves up, but if I leave, then the tuition fees between me and Su Yun'er will really be in vain.
I want to take care of that home, so I still have a glimmer of hope, and I put my aunt's hands together in prayer, and choked up: "Auntie, please, help me ......"
At the moment when the door was about to be closed to Linlin, my aunt exhaled and said to me, "Qiqi, this is the last time my aunt will help you!" ”
"Mom!"
Xiang Linlin looked at her mother, wanted to stop it but didn't have time, only to see her aunt holding her lady's bag and walking to the door of the room.
Then, my aunt took out five large red bills from her bag, and when she frowned and handed them to me, she looked very distressed, and then took back two of them and handed me three hundred yuan.
"Qiqi, you take the three hundred yuan!"
I looked at the three hundred yuan, and my heart was throbbing suddenly, this is the family affection that represents my aunt's family, cheap family affection, only worth three hundred yuan!
I wanted to resist, but in the cruel reality of the persecution, I had to stretch out my trembling hands, like a beggar to catch the three hundred yuan.
But at this moment, a figure behind me rushed in, a gust of fragrant wind hit, and at the same time, a cold voice came out: "These three hundred yuan, you take it to take medicine, get out of the family!" ”
Syllable!
At the same time, this person grabbed the three hundred yuan in the aunt's hand and smashed it on the stunned aunt's face.
