Chapter 85: Huang's mother was laid off
The handkerchief in his hand has not been removed, it is brand new and clean, and it is still printed with the pattern of flowers.
This...... It can't be a gift that Huang Biao brought back, right?
Huang Yueya shook her head and followed into the room.
Inside, Huang Ma was like a cocoon cowering in the quilt, facing the wall, and the corner of the poster on the wall was blown open by the wind outside the window, shaking and shaking, revealing the mottled and old wall.
"Mom, I'm back." Huang Biao stood on the edge of the bed, looking at Huang's mother's increasingly thin back, and his heart tingled.
The room was quiet and unresponsive.
"Mom, my brother is back." Huang Yueya was worried and stepped forward to stroke her back.
Huang Ma reacted at this time, turned around slowly, her eyes were obviously bloodshot, and glanced at Huang Biao.
But after not seeing him for a week, Huang Biao looked at his mother in front of him, who seemed to be ten years old, the silver hair on his head became more and more dazzling, and his face was sallow and haggard.
He couldn't say anything for a moment.
I only saw what was flashing in his eyes, Huang Yueya glanced at it, and couldn't tell what kind of eyes it was, but it was the first time she saw her brother show such a look.
"Ah Biao is back?" Huang Ma tugged at the corners of her mouth vigorously, revealing a bleak and haggard smile. "There's still food at home, I'll go warm it up."
With that, she was about to get up.
"No, I'm not hungry." Huang Biao twisted his eyebrows, and his voice suddenly amplified, "Just sit down." ”
The other party's order made Huang's mother a little puzzled, what did this child suddenly get angry about?
"Why didn't you tell me about the layoffs in the factory?"
Huang Biao asked.
Huang Ma glanced at Huang Yueya, sighed, and said with a forced smile, "Aren't you not at home?" That's why I didn't tell you either......"
The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became.
"It's useless to talk to you anyway." Huang Yueya next to her muttered in a low voice.
It was this sentence that was like a sharp sword piercing Huang Biao's heart.
He understood that his mother didn't say it, not because she was afraid that he would worry, but because she felt that it would be useless to talk to him.
Although he is known as the leader of the underworld outside, in their eyes, he is just a gangster.
A man of his age, in a family environment like theirs, should be supported by him, but what has he done all these years?
Nothing.
Not only is there nothing, but in Huang's mother's opinion, it is a great luck that he can not cause trouble for the family.
"Have you saved up your sister's tuition? Your mom is going to sell blood, you know? ”
The words that Shang Xia had said to him echoed in his mind, and his heart suddenly clenched into a ball.
No, he couldn't see anything like that happen.
"Mom, how much money is left in the house? How many months? ”
Huang Biao's sudden question made Huang's mother stunned, and without waiting for her to respond, Huang Yueya clenched her fists and almost roared.
"Do you still have a conscience? It's like this, the family is so poor that there is only half a jar of rice left, do you still want to ask the family to get money? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, adults, don't interject here!" After roaring, Huang Biao looked at Huang's mother fixedly and said firmly.
"Mom, how much money is left in the house? Don't worry, I'm not asking you for money! ”
Seeing him rarely look serious, Huang's mother listened, paused for a few seconds, and then responded, "With the money saved over the years, there should be no problem with food and accommodation for two months, but at the beginning of September, your sister's tuition fee ......"
As she spoke, Huang Ma's head lowered.
After working diligently in the factory for 30 years, the money saved is only enough to support two people, and it is not enough to say that not only no one laughs at him, but only makes people feel sad and helpless.
As long as anyone who knows a little about their family's situation knows that it is difficult enough for Huang's mother to raise the two children alone, let alone have any savings.
Huang Yueya frowned with her arms clasped in her hands, staring at Huang Biao's every move, as long as Huang Biao dared to stretch out her hand that only needed money, she was not sure that she would not go to the kitchen to buy a kitchen knife.
"I know, I'll save my sister's tuition, don't go to any factory these days to get it, since it's a policy put down above, it's useless to ask for help, if you feel uncomfortable, you can rest for a few more days, and other things, you don't have to worry, I'll solve it."
This is the first time that Huang Yueya heard such decent words from Huang Biao's mouth, so ...... Like a man's words.
But no matter how nice the words are, they can't dispel the doubts of the two.
"Ah Biao, you said this...... What are you doing here? ”
Huang's mother hurriedly asked, for fear that he would do something illegal and criminal for the sake of money.
When the words fell, Huang Yueya asked again, her tone full of deep doubt.
"You think you'll fix it? What do you use to solve it? You don't have a job, and it's not like you're looking for a job at this time, it's impossible, so how are you going to solve it? By hand? Or solve it with a knife? ”
"You don't need to know about this, in short, you don't have to worry, I won't do anything illegal and criminal, and my sister's tuition will also be borne by me, just wait and see."
"Brother, did you take the wrong medicine? Now this matter can't even be solved by the leaders of the factory, who are you bluffing with big words here? ”
Huang Biao's heartfelt promise, in the eyes of Huang Yueya's mother and daughter, is just talking nonsense.
"Bang!" Huang Biao's eyebrows twisted, and he hit the wall hard, and in the next second, the lime block on the wall fell to the ground.
"You believe that I can't do it this time!"
He roared, his eyes like torches, and there was something burning besides anger.
The two people present were stunned, it was not the first time they had seen Huang Biao lose such a big temper, but this time, it always felt different.
"Since I say it, I will definitely do it, I will definitely deal with the problem between our house, you just wait!"
Huang Biao went out of the room angrily, only to feel dry and irritable.
He picked up the kettle and put it to his mouth, and a pot of cold water went down to his stomach, and he finally calmed down.
He sat motionless in his chair, and after half an hour, as if suddenly he had thought of something, he abruptly rose from his chair.
Standing in front of the phone on the wall, he pondered for a moment and typed in a phone number one by one.
The phone rang three times and was connected.
"Hey, hello." The person who answered the phone was Shang Xiaohe.
"Hello aunt, I'm Huang Biao, can I let Shang Xia answer the phone? I'm looking for her for something. ”
"Oh, it's Huang Biao, you wait, I'll call her now."
Originally, Shang Xiaohe was not very optimistic about Huang Biao, but seeing that this kid didn't do anything bad except for his inappropriate appearance, and even accompanied Shang Xia to such a far away place, Shang Xiaohe was a little relieved of him.
A minute later, Shang Xia's voice came from the microphone, "Huang Biao? Is there something wrong? ”
"Shang Xia, I have something I want to discuss with you." Huang Biao said solemnly.
Rarely hearing him in such a tone, Shang Xia raised his eyebrows, "You say." ”
"Is there any way to get a job?"
Shang Xia was stunned and exclaimed, "You want to work?" ”
Huang Biao responded coldly, "No, it's my mother who has been laid off." ”
I don't know when that stock will be thrown out, and it is impossible for a hard-working person like Huang Ma to really sit at home.
To truly gain trust, he had to find her a proper job.
When Huang Biao mentioned this, Shang Xia all understood.
According to the memory of her previous life, Huang's mother was laid off, and when it came time to pay her sister's tuition at the beginning of school, she had no choice but to sell blood.
Neither Huang Biao nor she wanted to see this scene.
"I really have no choice, I'm afraid there is no way in our county, you see if I go to Yiwu again, see where we need manpower, there are so many shops in anti-justice Wu, it shouldn't be difficult to find a job opportunity."
Huang Biao couldn't pay attention to it.
From the outside, Shang Xia is indeed just a child who does not understand the world, but mentally speaking, she is much more mature than the other party, after all, the experience of the two lives is clearly placed here.
Shang Xia pondered for a moment and said firmly, "No need." ”
"No more?"
Huang Biao was a little confused.
"Hmm. If your mother is willing, you can come to the store to help, and if you really want to, you can come to my house and discuss it together. ”
Shang Xia said, already having a plan in his heart.
If it was with Huang's mother's help, it would be much easier to move Shang Xiaohe.
"Seriously?" Huang Biao's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Anyway, it's not close to Yiwu here, two people are outside, and there are more or less people to take care of, besides, in this store, it's good to have one more person to help."
"That's okay, then I'll go discuss with my mother now, and I'll give you an answer when it's confirmed!" Huang Biao said overjoyed.
This girl is also capable of doing something.
"Okay, then you give me news as soon as possible, I have to go back to school in another week, I want to take care of my mother's work before class."
Only by helping Shang Xiaohe get out of this cannibalistic Chen family can she feel at ease.
On the other hand, Huang Biao was busy convincing Huang's mother so that she could believe that this was a real thing, and that he had really found a reliable job for her.
Shang Xia on the other side was not idle.
When Chen Yougui saw Shang Xia coming back, his attitude was still not the same as usual, and he said two words from time to time, and a pair of eyes stabbed people's bodies like needles.
And Shang Xiaohe, since Shang Xia discussed it with her yesterday, the two of them didn't say a few words, and they seemed to have their own thoughts.
After breakfast, Shang Xia sat in the room and read his book, glancing in the direction of the door from time to time, waiting for the opportunity.
Waiting for Shang Xiaohe to pick up the vegetable basket, Shang Xia immediately got up and stepped forward.
"Mom, are you going grocery shopping?" Shang Xia asked actively.
"Yes, it's rare that you're at home and cook you more delicious food."
"I'm a little irritable reading today, why don't I go with you! Think of it as going out for a walk and relaxing. "I want to talk about "Rebirth 1996" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
