Chapter 181: Making Money
Ran Fenqiang persuaded Xu Chuyue, but he was already teary-eyed - who said that men don't flick when they have tears, but it's not time to be sad.
Thinking of the old father and mother at home, looking at the weak and pitiful beautiful girl in front of him, Ran Fenqiang finally couldn't suppress his feelings, and he burst into tears for a moment.
Xu Chuyue buried her head in his arms, and tears wet his placket. The couple hugged their heads and cried for a while before they choked up.
Late at night, Xu Chuyue woke up from a dream. She got out of bed and walked to the window, looking at the waning moon in the sky, thinking about her short life of more than 20 years.
She wants to leave that poor home, but she is tired of wandering, she has always wanted to seek stability and happiness, but every time she touches the edge of happiness, happiness will disappear. Why is life so difficult!
She couldn't help but think of her hometown again, after many years away from home and a thousand twists and turns, the poverty and hardships of that place had long faded in her memory, leaving behind all the picturesque scenery and fresh and tranquil rural life.
She remembered the experience of college, where she began to make the music she loved, and met the best partner in her life, and the two were still favored to make their debut together, how happy she was at that time, and even thought that the so-called life was just that.
But it's a pity that she was too young at that time, and she didn't know that people couldn't calculate the unpredictability of fate and the difficulties of the world.
The encounter was like a bubble, Lu Li was brilliant but couldn't help a gust of wind. Soon, her friend died, and her debut dream was shattered.
For a while, she locked herself in the house, covered in the quilt, and wept day and night, and even cried so that her face was numb. But in the end she walked out of the house, because she had no money left, and she could not even afford to rent this small shelter.
Xu Chuyue packed her bags and found a country park, where you could see the mountains and the water. Under a flowering tree, she silently buried the score that the two of them wrote together - these songs will stay here, you are gone, and I will not sing them.
She carried her guitar and left the sad place alone. In the days that followed, she swam and sang along the way, walking and stopping, and of course, faced endless ridicule and harassment from drunks and greasy men.
She gradually felt the malice of life, so every time she dreamed back at midnight, there were always green mountains and green waters and bright moon and breeze in her hometown in the dream, and she began to miss the place that haunted her dreams, but she had suffered enough.
However, Xu Chuyue never really left to return to her hometown, she was not in the ivory tower, nor was she in the sky building, because she knew that if she wanted to live a comfortable life in that kind of place, she needed a lot of money, and she- no.
"I know you want to find a picturesque place to settle down. Satsuki, I'll let you get your wish. Ran Fenqiang didn't know when he got up, walked behind Xu Chuyue and hugged her.
"Don't think about it so much, now...... Let's have a good day. There was endless desolation and despair in Xu Chuyue's words - she thought to herself, she really couldn't live like this anymore, otherwise bad luck would be bad luck after bad luck, when would it be the end.
Ran Fenqiang turned Xu Chuyue's body, and the two faced each other, his eyes flashed with persistence: "You don't believe me? I will definitely let you live the life you want! ”
……
Xu Chuyue listened to Ran Fenqiang's words, and her eyes were shining. She listened to the "plan" said by this honest man, and was shocked at first, but slowly calmed down for some reason.
At this point, she felt that she had no choice. Ran Fenqiang is also like this, he is going to die anyway, if he doesn't make a move, he will have a big ticket as soon as he makes a move.
However, are the three ghosts of Yuntang so easy to get rid of? Moreover, how to divide the money that Ran Fenqiang gets? After all, he still has two old men waiting to be sent to the end.
Xu Chuyue's mind was buzzing, she felt a little nervous, a little apprehensive, a little uneasy, but still—a little excited. I don't know if it's because the food wasn't eaten well, or because she was too emotional, she actually retched for a while before Ran Fenqiang finished speaking.
Ran Fenqiang gently patted her on the back, and something suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Satsuki, you won't—it won't be ......"
"Well, I'm pregnant." Xu Chuyue didn't know how this sentence could come out of her mouth.
"Huh?!" Ran Fenqiang sat up from the bed excitedly and carefully supported her, "Really? ”
"Well, I'm still hesitating to ask for this child, so I haven't told you."
"Yes! Want! You must give birth to the child, and I will make money, lots and lots of money, and leave it to you and the child! Ran Fenqiang said excitedly, "When the time comes, the money will be divided into three parts, you take one share, the child will keep one share, and the other share will be left for my parents to support the ......elderly."
Ran Fenqiang suddenly sighed, he looked at the sky with teary eyes and said: "God, you still pity me, my life is gone, but I still have a child!" I'm going to get the money. ”
"Are you doing it alone?" Xu Chuyue suddenly said this calmly.
"It's okay, my plan is foolproof, there will be no problem." Ran Fenqiang was full of confidence, and his eyes revealed contempt for those three people.
When people are desperate, often a little bit of good thing will be infinitely magnified. Hearing about Xu Chuyue's pregnancy, Ran Fenqiang immediately felt full of energy, and he vowed to get enough settling-in money for his lover and child before he died.
He told Xu Chuyue not to be tired, to work less, to raise the fetus at home, and not to worry about anything else, he didn't want to implicate the two of them.
But the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, Luo Xiaomao saw Lu Xianheng in Shishi Lane, and he had to take advantage of the situation to make a name for a ghost in a flower dress to pretend to be a ghost.
Once a person puts on a ghost skin, he can't get rid of it, and Ran Fenqiang has to pretend to be hard-headed.
As for Xu Chuyue, who has experienced the death of her partner, she knows better than Ran Fenqiang the meaning of "the plan can't catch up with the change". She looked at the exhausted Ran Fenqiang, touched her empty belly, and couldn't help but want to do something for this man.
"I'll pretend to be a ghost." She said to Ran Fenqiang.
So, in order to increase credibility, the secret couple changed from humans to ghosts, and Xu Chuyue also spread rumors from time to time to confuse the public, which was the root of the rumors of haunting in Yuntang Town later.
After the three ghosts died one after another, Ran Fenqiang temporarily hid the stolen money in his yard, and when the last money arrived, the two locked the courtyard door and divided the money at night.
Xu Chuyue counted out a third and pushed it to Ran Fenqiang: "This is for your parents, you settle down." ”
Ran Fenqiang sat silently and took a puff of his cigarette. He used to be a non-smoker, first, because it was not good for his health, he had a heavy burden on him, and he didn't dare to spoil himself at will, and second, smoking still costs money, and his family is tight, so he doesn't want to spend money on useless things.
But now that he is getting sicker and sicker, he often feels dizzy and nauseous, flustered and short of breath, and he must find a way to support himself for a few more days.
