Chapter 16: The Defeated Rooster
The two have been friends for so many years, what Du Li cares about most is Qin Qing, coupled with Qin Qing's family experience, she has long included Qin Qing in her scope of protection.
Anytime Qin Qing needed her, she would stand up desperately.
Qin Qing and Du Li left with a smug face, while Yin Chen sat on the chair like a defeated rooster with no strength.
I didn't expect her to be tricked by a woman today, it's really funny to say it, if his group of fox friends and dog friends know, I don't know how to laugh at him!
Thinking of this, Yin Chen straightened his face, walked out and told the few people who were there just now, "Don't go out and tell anyone about this!" ”
After seeing those people repeatedly agree, he was relieved. Maybe he is not afraid of being ridiculed by others, but he doesn't want Hu Qiya to know about it. At least in Hu Qiya's heart, he is still the omnipotent Yin Chen.
After Qin Qing and Du Li left, it was already late.
"Come to me tonight?" Du Li warmly invited.
It's hard for two people to get together again since they went their separate jobs, and even if they're together for a short time, it's a good opportunity now.
"No, I want to go home and see." Qin Qing shook his head and refused.
Although that family has long been shattered, and from the moment she separated, she no longer has nostalgia, but as long as her mother is there for one day, she has no way not to worry.
However, as soon as Du Li heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "Don't look back, if you go back, I'm afraid something will happen to you." ”
After all, her father can't be called a father anymore, worse than strangers, and even like two enemies.
Du Li didn't want to remember how she pulled Qin Qing out of that place in the first place, and now she wouldn't let her go back to that fire pit no matter what.
"But...... I'm worried about my mom! Qin Qing looked hesitant.
Speaking of this, Du Li is also angry. When it happened, the security guard came to adjust and suggested a divorce, but Aunt Qin didn't know what was going on, so she agreed at first, but in the end she still regretted it and returned to the man's side.
If it weren't for this, Qin Qing would have cut off the relationship with that man a long time ago, where would he hesitate like now.
Thinking of this, Du Li's expression was not very good-looking, and he just looked at Qin Qing with a cold face.
Du Li is the person Qin Qing cares about the most besides her mother, so she can't say anything at the moment, so she can only speak: "Then let's do it, I'll call my mother and ask, if she's okay there, I won't go." ”
Qin Qing said this, Du Li had nothing to say, nodded with satisfaction, and Qin Qing took out his mobile phone to dial the familiar number.
After a while, the phone over there was connected, and it was silent at first, until Qin Qing shouted anxiously several times before the other side spoke, "Qingqing, mom is here." ”
In a dilapidated small room, a middle-aged woman sat on the bed, holding back the tears in her eyes, pretending to talk to her woman without any abnormality.
The woman's eyebrows are full of wrinkles, and you can see how much the years have affected women, but who knows that when she was young, she was also beautiful and beautiful like a flower.
Qin Qing felt that something was wrong, but her mother didn't say anything, and in the end, she didn't ask anything.
"Mom, are you really doing well? Why don't you come out and live with me, I can support you now, and I have saved a lot of money......"
Qin Qing said excitedly about her plan, on this day, she had been thinking about it for a long, long time, but every time, Qin's mother refused, and this time was no exception.
Mother Qin has been quietly listening to the blueprints that her daughter is looking forward to, as if happiness is just around the corner, but in fact......
The tears were falling again, and she wiped them with one hand, but the hand holding the phone still didn't move.
She tried her best to be gentle, "Qingqing, Mom is fine, your dad has been well-behaved recently, he has found a job, and he hasn't gone out to drink." ”
When she said this, she also subconsciously glanced at the man sitting in the corner. The man gasped heavily, his face flushed, and he didn't know if he was drunk or ashamed.
Qin Qing couldn't see it, so she could only imagine it based on what her mother said, and think about everything for the better, as if only in this way could she forget those cruel realities.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Qing couldn't help crying, she put her head on Du Li's shoulder, only in this way could she give her a little comfort.
On the other side, after Qin's mother hung up the phone, she also wiped away her tears and looked at the man coldly.
The man smoked a cigarette and lowered his head, not daring to look at Qin's mother.
"Qin Shaojun, do you remember what you promised me at the beginning? And now you see for yourself, how long have you been and what have you done? ”
"Xiuting, I'...... I'm sorry, you believe me, this must be the last time. Please, give it to me! ”
He did promise that he would never drink or gamble again, but ...... It's already happened, so what else can he do?
It's not the first time Peng Xiuting has heard this man say such things, but every time, the ending is disappointing to her, and she has never been surprised.
After a long time, she said like a dead heart: "How much?" ”
As soon as Qin Shaojun heard that there was hope, hope rekindled in his eyes, "One hundred thousand, I will stop if I only lose one hundred thousand this time!" ”
Peng Xiuting stared at him in disbelief, "Only lost 100,000?" Look at what else is worth 100,000 in this family? Did you take it and sell it? ”
Except for two small beds and two quilts, he is really surrounded by four walls, what kind of face does he have to say such things.
Peng Xiuting no longer expects to return to her former glory, she only hopes that the two of them can be content with the ordinary, like all ordinary couples, to find a job and live a simple life, isn't this okay?
Of course, Qin Shaojun knew that the money was not worth that much, but what he knew was that Peng Xiuting still had a sum of money hidden in her hand, and that money might just be able to save his urgent need.
He knelt down and stepped forward, "Xiuting, you help me one last time, I know you still have a sum of money there, give me this money, I will be a cow and a horse for you in the next life, okay?" ”
In the past, Qin Shaojun was drunk or had no money, and he scolded Peng Xiuting and Qin Qing, but now Peng Xiuting is his lifeline, and he doesn't dare.
Peng Xiuting felt both fortunate and ridiculous.
Is this man still the same as the high-spirited and combative man when I first met?
"Qin Shaojun, stand up! Look at what you look like now, what about your face? What about your dignity? ”
She roared like a trapped beast, but to no avail.
Qin Shaojun looked ahead blankly, "What is dignity?" I don't know, I just want money now. ”
The men threatened him with one of his arms if he didn't get the money within three days. Today is the last day, but he doesn't want to be a waster, so no matter what happens today, he will get the money in his hands.
"Since you know that I have a sum of money, then you should also remember that the money was given to me by you personally, saying that you would leave it to your daughter as a dowry in the future."
Peng Xiuting looked at this man numbly, but she was still trying to wake up this man with blood relationship.
"I remember, don't worry, I'll take this money to emergency now, and it won't be long before I earn this money back!"
Qin Shaojun looked up at Peng Xiuting eagerly, as if he had seen the money beckoning to her.
Peng Xiuting looked at him for a long time, and finally, she nodded, "Okay, then I'll give it to you, I hope you are really as you promised, this is the last time." ”
Of course, whether there is a next time or not, it has nothing to do with her, for so many years, he has exhausted all Peng Xiuting's expectations of him.
Those beautiful and happy moments of youth, Peng Xiuting has to admit that they have disappeared and will never come back.
Everything that happened to the Qin family, Qin Qing didn't know. She returned to the apartment with Du Li and rested early.
It was originally a rare holiday, but Qin Qing's dream was not good at all, in the dream, she returned to many years ago, a happy family of three.
But soon, as soon as the picture turned, it became that the originally kind man blushed, looking at her and his mother fiercely, the hard rattan hit her mercilessly, and it was useless for him and his mother to cry and beg for mercy.
"Don't hit me...... I ...... pain."
In her dreams, she murmured and struggled, but could not find anyone to save her.
"Qingqing, wake up!" Du Li pushed the woman who was caught in the nightmare vigorously, and it took a lot of effort to wake her up.
"Pear? What's wrong with me? Qin Qing's face was confused, and he only felt that cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead.
"Are you having a nightmare?" Du Li looked worried.
Qin Qing recalled for a moment, but there was nothing in her mind, and after thinking about it, she shook her head helplessly, "It's okay, let's rest early!" ”
After saying that, she fell asleep.
Du Li looked at this woman helplessly, and had to sigh.
The next morning, the two woke up early.
"Baby, what are we going to do today?" After Du Li finished washing, he came out and put his hand on Qin Qing's shoulder.
"You can go wherever you want, and you can accompany you at any time!" Qin Qing glanced back at her.
"That'...... Let's go to the beach for a barbecue, I've already prepared everything, but I haven't had a chance. ”
It's a great idea, and the beach is a great place to relax. Thinking of the fatigue of this time, Qin Qing also nodded in agreement.
It's just that the sea is so far away, how can they go? That's a problem.
