After dusk, what does someone else's home look like?

Shen Qing'er, who was walking on the way home, couldn't help but look into the windows of one building after another, as if she wanted to find the answer from there.

Is it a family of three happily gathered at the dining table, accompanied by laughter?

She didn't know.

But it was a scene that she could not hope for.

The door opened, and the living room was pitch black.

Shen Qing'er turned on the light, and the dim living room lit up all of a sudden, but it was quiet without any sound.

From childhood to adulthood, this has been the case.

Shen Qing'er had long been used to it.

After entering the house, I saw a middle-aged woman sitting in the room, indulging in various "Gambling Classics".

When she was a child, she and her sister once persuaded her mother not to indulge in gambling anymore.

But he was scolded by his mother and drenched in blood.

More than ten years have passed, and my mother's gambling habit has not changed.

The only thing to be thankful for is probably that my mother didn't lose her family.

"Mom, I'm back."

Shen Qing'er repeated this sentence mechanically as before.

At this time, the mother, who was addicted to the gambling scriptures, turned her head sideways, and her sharp eyes stayed on Shen Qing'er.

"Listen to your father, you got promoted?"

Shen Qing'er "chuckled" in her heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition. She frowned and reluctantly spat out a word.

"Yes."

"Then the promotion and salary increase, right?"

Shen Qing'er glanced at her mother with disdain, she had already guessed her purpose, and she replied heavily, "Yes." ”

"Since I've been promoted, then from this month, give me 4,000."

Really......

Hehe......

Shen Qing'er sneered in her heart.

A year ago, Shen Qing'er, who had just graduated, found a job locally.

Because her mother said that she had a house to live in the local area and could save rent by looking for a job here, Shen Qinger found a job with a monthly salary of 4,000 yuan locally.

However, after only a month of work, her mother began to ask Shen Qinger to pay 2,000 yuan in rent every month.

Shen Qing'er began to give her mother 2,000 yuan every month.

After a month, my mother began to complain again: "You eat me at home every month, and you don't give me any food expenses." Starting next month, give me 3,000 yuan every month! ”

Faced with her mother's order, Shen Qing'er resisted dissatisfiedly: "But I didn't make much money a month, and I gave you 3,000, so I don't have any money myself?" ”

Mother didn't take what Shen Qing'er said seriously, and said lightly: "Don't you have 4,000 a month, give me 3,000, and you yourself have 1,000 to spend." You have money to buy clothes and skin care products every month, but you have no money for me? You can find a house outside for 3000 rent, not to mention food! ”

Although Shen Qing'er felt angry, what her mother said was reasonable, so she didn't quarrel with her mother anymore.

It's just that she is confused, when will such days end?

When will she be able to earn enough for a down payment, have a house of her own, and never have to live in this unwarm home again?

Finally, through her excellent work performance, Shen Qinger became the team leader, and her monthly salary was increased by 2,000 yuan.

Shen Qing'er felt that although the money was less, it was better than nothing, and it also gave her hope.

She believes that through her efforts, she will definitely be able to get another raise!

It's just that what she didn't expect was that her mother knew about her promotion and salary increase.

And this must have been said by my father's friend.

A friend of my father's acquaintance also works in this company, but he is not in the same department as Shen Qing'er.

Now that her mother has learned that Shen Qing'er has been promoted, she wants Shen Qing'er to add money to her.

Shen Qing'er suddenly felt that the whole world had turned into a dull gray, with no light or warmth.

Yes, just living mechanically day in and day out.
