Chapter 822: Let's Fight! Old Lady 4
Who am I?
Where am I from?
Where am I going?
This is not only an ancient and eternal topic of philosophy, but also a torture of life for everyone.
It has always been a matter of feeling and answering.
And the answer to the question of what people live for.
This question, if it was Lin Xi before joining Yao Xuan, her answer would be to find someone she loves, give birth to a lovely baby, support the elderly, accompany her lover to grow old, watch her children grow up, and slowly finish her life.
It's that simple, it's that ordinary.
And now, as a mid-level executor of Yao Xuan, her answer is to have as much true freedom as possible and postpone her death as much as possible.
Therefore, even if it is the same person, the purpose of life will change after different times and different experiences.
It should be said that why live, everyone has their own answer.
As a member of the multitude, we have no way to control the beginning of life, nor can we prevent it from ending, even if it is our own.
You may say that at least Hu Yanfen controlled her own death, but the problem is that this kind of death is a choice under no choice, a choice after no choice!
How does our life unfold, and what attitude do we have to face the end of life?
The question is too esoteric and too general.
If you have to answer this question head-on, Lin Xi feels that human beings live in this world, and everyone has to go through such an inevitable process from birth to death. And the meaning of our existence is to do everything possible to satisfy our wishes after life and make up for the regrets before death.
That's all.
How much courage does it take to follow He Xiang from his familiar hometown to this city, facing a family that he doesn't know at all, for a little girl who has been living in a closed mountain village for decades?
Hu Yanfen can never complain or regret in the face of all the harsh criticism imposed on her by the He family in the future, because He Xiang carries the hope of almost her entire life!
At this time, Hu Yanfen should have the same wish as her at the beginning.
It's just that the trivialities of life, the indifference of her family, and the accusations of He Xiang and the children of her disappointment have smashed everything this woman has!
The client's empty eyes and lifeless face showed that all her wishes were shattered, and her regret was why she was still alive.
With a long sigh, Lin Xi looked at this humble room.
This is not Hu Yanfen's own home, but the tube building where she temporarily rents.
The timing of Lin Xi's arrival was not very good, according to the trend in the plot, it was after Hu Yanfen had handed over her house and all related procedures and all deposits to her baby son.
And it's been more than four months later.
Even if the house has not been sold, it must have been transferred, and Hu Yanfen, who never thought that the child and her ex-husband who valued love and righteousness would completely disappear into her own world, naturally did not have the brain to ask her son to give an IOU, receipt or something like that.
Lin Xi rummaged through the money box made of kraft paper that Hu Yanfen used to hold money, and there were only more than two hundred yuan in it.
She now relies on rummaging through the garbage cans to pick up cans, waste old newspapers and so on in exchange for a meager income, and most of the clothes she wears are turned over from the garbage cans to others or some kind people who look at her and give them to her.
However, after many years of housework and the hardships of childhood, Hu Yanfen is not as sloppy and dirty as ordinary scavengers look at home or personally, and there is a plastic bathtub with a missing corner in the corner of the house, she is reluctant to go to the bath often, and usually uses the public kitchen to boil water, and then uses a basin to bathe in this bathtub.
It is precisely because she has always been clean, warm-hearted and kind, and gets along well with the neighbors around her, although the landlord knows that she is a waste picker, he does not open his mouth to get rid of her.
Now it's not too poor anyway, Lin Xi will exchange some daily necessities and throw them in the space every time he enters the mission.
When he got up in the morning, Lin Xi poured some boiling water into the thermos, took out slices of bread from the space and ate them with the mustard core.
Then I tried my best to choose a set of clothes that were not too shabby, and wore a very old light gray down jacket outside, and took the bus three times to get to my former house.
It was in ruins.
Construction of the future shopping street has already begun.
Lin Xi circled around this large piece of rubble twice, only to find an old place.
It's Sister Zhang of the neighborhood committee.
Lin Xi hurriedly walked a few steps over to greet her, who knew that this eldest sister actually looked like a ghost when she saw her, and she wanted to turn around and leave while muttering "Amitabha" in her mouth.
Lin Xi stretched out his hand and grabbed her: "Sister Zhang, what are you doing here?" ”
Sister Zhang almost peed.
"I said Sister Hu, it was your son who sold your house, I just helped contact the developer, it's none of my business, don't come to me!"
Lin Xi saw her trembling, and her heart was even more puzzled, so she simply followed her words and asked, "I said why did it sell so quickly, and how much did it cost?" ”
Sister Zhang saw that she was smiling on her face, and she was even more frightened: "Because your house is on the first floor, and your son will not need a store when the commercial street is built in the future, so he will lose a lot of money, a total of ......."
She squinted her eyes and peeked at Lin Xi.
"Huh?" Lin Xi snorted heavily.
"Eight hundred and twenty thousand, your son...... Only...... Only gave me two thousand dollars in favor fees, you ...... Don't blame me, I can burn you whatever you need! ”
Lin Xi: ......
Burn...... Burn it to me?
That sounds weird!
Lin Xi immediately made a wooden face and said gloomily: "Are they still living in the original house?" ”
"Yes, but it looks like your daughter has moved out. Listen...... I heard that your eldest son seems to be ...... It looks like I'm moving out too. "Sister Zhang's teeth are already chattering.
"Huh!" Lin Xi sneered: "After selling my house, their lives have improved, and even you have been wiped out, not bad, not bad!" ”
Listening to Lin Xi's words, Sister Zhang's spirit began to collapse: "I'll give it back to you, can't I give it back to you?" I know that you were deceived by a family and died unwillingly, but this is all fate, all fate! Besides, don't look for me, what's the matter with me! ”
Sister Zhang's voice had begun to cry, and while nagging, she began to take money out of her pocket, in all denominations.
The rice and soybean oil at home are gone, and Sister Zhang deliberately brought some more money in her pocket today, but she didn't expect to meet this dead ghost in broad daylight.
Looking at Lin Xi, who was staring at her coldly, Sister Zhang really didn't have the courage to hand over the money to her personally, so she picked up a brick and pressed all the money underneath, turned her head and fled away at a speed comparable to that of Usain Bolt.
I didn't expect such an unexpected gain.
Lin Xi originally came to inquire about how much money can be sold here, and after eating the old lady's, I will return it all!
This eldest sister Zhang is a good sister who is close to everyone on weekdays, but she is one of the long-tongued women who like to gossip in the whole community.
Lin Xi picked up the handful of money and counted it, and there were more than three hundred yuan.
In that case, let's take a taxi to visit my dear ex-husband and sons!
