After staying in Beicheng No. 1 Hospital for a few days, Zhang Sufen finally knew that this was a difficult place to live, and she also knew what it means to spend money like running water.

When I cooked porridge at home and brought it to the hospital, I saw them arguing.

It was in the fire escape on the other floor of the ward, and my uncle was resting after dialysis, so I put down my things and came out to find someone.

"I can't borrow money, so what about my son's illness?"

"How much is dignity worth?"

"If you go and borrow money from them, I won't believe them won't give it!"

Zhang Sufen's voice was sharp and mean, with incomparable hysteria.

The woman who guarded her son broke out especially terrifying, with monstrous resentment.

When her voice fell, I heard my mother speak.

Weakness, exhaustion, quiet voices.

"They are not obligated to give me this money, so I will not go. Mom, I'm going back to Cheung Chau this afternoon to find a way to borrow some from a friend. ”

"How much can you borrow? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? I saw clearly that you are not a good thing, but my son is blind and has taken out his heart and lungs for you. Let me tell you Xu Qing, if you don't borrow money, I will make Su Ruan's known to everyone. ”

"My son is not doing well, and your daughter should not think about it in this life!"

I frowned at this and pushed the door open and walked in.

I happened to see Zhang Sufen grabbing my mother's hair, her face hideous.

I stepped forward and pushed her away hard, and was relieved to see that my mom didn't have any wounds on her body.

"I'm a slut who knows how to be dignified. When I gave birth to a rich man, I didn't see you so face-saving. Zhang Sufen scolded angrily: "Xu Qing, if my son has three long and two short, I will kill you even if I fight for this old life!" ”

Mom's face turned pale little by little, her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't say half a word.

I'm a stain on her life, and I can't wash it off.

I grabbed her arm, stared at Zhang Sufen and said, "I went to Tang's house to ask for money, but from now on, if I hear a dirty word from your mouth again, don't blame me for being unkind to you!" ”

"Su Soft ......" My mother's voice was short and eager, and she grabbed me tightly.

Zhang Sufen looked at me suspiciously and said, "Are you serious? ”

"Seriously." I said with a blank face.

Zhang Sufen's tears fell out, and then she slapped herself hard, swearing to me, "As long as you can get the money for treatment, I can provide your mother." ”

When she left, I scoffed.

"Su Ruan, I won't let you go." Mom's face was never more serious, "You have nothing to do with the Tang family, I will borrow this money." ”

"Who are you borrowing from? Colleague? Relatives? "Every time I asked, my mother's face turned white.

Although my colleagues are all teachers, they are all dragging their families and mouths, and they are not easy to borrow this money.

As for relatives and friends, I've never heard my mom mention her family when I'm so old. My uncle's side is full of all poor relatives, and it's even more impossible.

"Mom." I hugged her, "It's not easy for you to have a happy life, my uncle is a good man, he deserves it." ”

My shoulders were wet, and my mom was crying silently.

In the face of life, sometimes we have no other way but to compromise.

I made a phone call and made an appointment to go to Tang's house at 4 p.m.

After the phone call, we sat on the steps and didn't say a word.

Mom gently stroked my hair and after a while she started crying again.

I pillowed on her lap and said calmly, "Mom, it's not a big deal, don't think too much." ”

I stayed at the Tang family until fifteen, and my mother could visit me every two months.

Fifteen years later, Tang Pingye got married for the second time and sent me to another place for foster care.

When I was eighteen or nineteen years old, my mother's life stabilized and she took me to her.

This always strong woman cried silently and said: "Soft, how can I rest assured that they treat you like that." ”

I sighed, sat up straight and helped her wipe her tears, "It's all over, Mom, it's really all over." ”

At one o'clock in the afternoon, I set off for Tang's house.

The route is very familiar, the subway bus reversed a few times, and I walked to the place where I couldn't take the car.

There are many wealthy people living in this area, built on the mountain, and the environment is elegant.

I was standing at the intersection and saw a car slowly coming by.

It was Uncle Tang who came down, the old housekeeper of the Tang family.

"Miss, long time no see." Uncle Tang smiled at me with a lot of emotion.

I smiled and didn't say anything, and left with him.

Standing outside the door at 3:50, the old lady of the Tang family was most tired of others being late.

The furnishings of the Tang family have changed slightly, and the furniture has been replaced with new ones, but the people are still those people.

Uncle Tang took me into the living room, where Tang Li was sitting.

"Hello." I greeted me politely.

She looked at me for a moment and said dissatisfiedly, "Now I don't even call a grandmother." ”

I didn't say anything, she sat me down.

"Is that enough money?" Tang Li pushed over a check.

500,000, it seems that the situation has been figured out early in the morning.

I nodded, still not speaking.

Tang Li stared at me for a long time, "You have been raised in front of me for more than ten years, but you haven't raised any affection at all." I don't know if you're too ruthless, or if I'm an old lady who is too mean. ”

"You're doing your duty." I smile.

When you get to this point, you are willing to see me and give me money, which is indeed benevolent and righteous. However, Tang Li never makes loss-making transactions, I know this too well, and I am waiting for her next step.

"The Tang family has reached your father's line, and there are only two girls, you and Jingwen." Tang Li took out a jade bracelet, looked at me and said, "In the past, your grandfather made a junior marriage contract with someone, but now only you can fulfill it. ”

What about Tang Jingwen?

The previous generation of the Tang family is very brilliant, and if Tang Lao can make a marriage contract, the other party's family background must be prominent. I don't believe that this kind of thing should be given to me.

But I didn't ask.

Tang Li had long been accustomed to my silence, waved his hand and said tiredly: "You stay here for a few days, I'll find a time for you to meet with the other party." ”

I got up to say goodbye and went upstairs.

Walking down the familiar staircase, the memories begin to revive little by little.

Fifteen years, I've lived here for fifteen years.

The shot of my room in the corridor on the second floor is not big, but it is well equipped.

I stood in the doorway for a few moments before pushing it open.

The furnishings in the house have not changed and it is very clean.

Not long after I sat down, I called my mom.

"How?" Mom's voice was trembling, "Soft, are you okay?" ”

I stared for a long time at the closet by the wall, which was large, with locks on it and a little cut-out. It's stuffy, it's dark, and it has a smell peculiar to wood.

When I think about this, my mind goes blank for a moment.

"Squish!" My mother's voice suddenly sharpened.

I came back to my senses and subconsciously said, "I'm so big, I can't fit in the wardrobe." ”

"Soft, don't scare your mother, you leave the Tang family!" Mom said hurriedly, "I'll pick you up." ”

Before I was fifteen years old, I was subjected to inhuman abuse in the Tang family.
