Chapter 37: Sooner or Later You'll Be Struck by Lightning
I've told myself more than once that I want to de-gasse, but this fat man is so angry that I can de-de-gas much faster than he can cheer up!
"Can you respect the old and love the young?" He touched his buttocks, blushed and yelled at me, "You little conscienceless, sooner or later you will be struck by lightning!" ā
"I'm going to be struck by lightning? New Century jokes are all failing! Let me ask you, are you planning to go back to see your aunt this month? IāI'll go with you......" I said.
The dead fat man looked at me with a smile, "What do you mean?" ā
"I think my aunt still needs to be careful?" How filthy am I to say that......
I mean I've always been a decent person!
"I'm not going back, your aunt said that she is not in good health, and my next-door neighbor will help send her over these days, and then go to the hospital to see her. This person is old and it hurts either here or there, you say that it is really not easy for people to live in this life. The dead fat man sighed, scratched the back of his head and walked away.
My aunt is going to the city these days?
If that were the case, I wouldn't have to go to see her.
My aunt and my mother are sisters, and my grandfather was swept away by a flood in the river when my mother was very young, and there was no one in his life and no body in the following decades. So my grandmother raised my mother and aunt alone, but unfortunately she passed away before she could enjoy the blessings.
My mother and my aunt both married each other, and my mother married in the next village, that is, in the Xia Lao family.
My aunt married a little farther away, but she had a good relationship with my mother, and she called every once in a while.
When my mother is in a bad mood, she also goes far away, basically going to my aunt's house.
This time my mother died, and the Xia family did not notify my aunt, and my aunt did not make any moves.
I can understand that the Xia family didn't invite her, after all, this family doesn't even want a face, and what rules do they talk about. But my aunt's quiet attitude was surprising to me.
Because my aunt herself is a strong woman, and my mother's weak appearance belong to two versions. One of their sisters is strong and the other is weak, my mother was beaten by Boss Xia and bruised all over her body, and my aunt knew that she would rush to the door with a kitchen knife in the future.
Since then, Boss Xia hasn't beaten my mother again for a long time.
But why, this time my mother passed away so inexplicably, but my aunt didn't say a word?
And she has always been in very good health, why did she suddenly get sick this time?
I'm really puzzled.
But I believe that as long as I wait for her to enter the city, and I find her and ask, then everything will be clear.
After saying goodbye to the fat man, I was about to go home, but my phone suddenly rang at this time.
I took a look, it was Luo Susu who called, and thinking that I had lost the ring that her brother Luo Jue gave me, I instantly felt a little weak and hesitated to take it.
After a little internal struggle, I pressed the answer phone anyway.
"Linglong, my parents have entered the city, are you free these days? My parents want to ask you out for dinner tomorrow. Said on the other side of the phone.
I felt a pang in my heart, "Uncle and aunt have entered the city, you can have fun with them when your uncle and aunt enter the city, and you don't have to invite me to dinner." ā
"Then what's the matter, I heard my brother say that you have accepted his marriage proposal, and it won't be long before you will be my sister-in-law, and you are polite to us, my parents came to the city to see you this time."
"No, what, there may be a bit of a misunderstanding here...... I was a little upset and irritable, but because I lost hundreds of thousands of rings, I felt a little weak, and I didn't have enough confidence to speak.
"Linglong, how do you speak? Is it because my brother hasn't contacted you during this time, so you're upset? He has been on a business trip these days, and he is very busy with work, and he can't handle many things. When he's done, I'll ask him to call you at night, don't mind, men are tired of their careers. Rosusu said.
"......" I was a little confused, it was obvious that she had misunderstood me......
I wanted to explain something, but they said they were busy with work, and then they just hung up the phone.
I glanced at my phone screen and couldn't help but sigh.
Forget it, if you don't explain it, you don't explain it. She's not a party to it, and explaining to her doesn't help, so don't go back and make things worse.
When I go back and explain to Luo Jue, I will definitely pay him for the ring.
Because I didn't have any money, I walked home, and I looked for a job on the way, because I didn't have a high education, so it was very difficult to find a job.
When she returned to Xia Yu's house, it was already dark, and she happened to cook at home after school.
Her heart is still quite strong, and she quickly cheered up, although sometimes she will be seen quietly wiping away tears, but overall, she is quite optimistic.
In fact, my mood is not much better than hers.
I can't let go of my mother's death. And I'm determined to investigate the cause of her death and clear her name.
So Xia Yu isn't too bad compared to me, at least she knows how her mom died, and she doesn't have a bastard father like me.
Sometimes, I really want to cut off the relationship with that so-called dad who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to hurt nature. But there is no such provision in the law.
Just that old scoundrel, you can never think of anything he can do, in our village, he has done everything he has done to steal chickens and dogs, I just hope that I will not be harmed in the future.
I walked over to help with the dishes, and seeing that I was listless, Xia Yu couldn't help but ask me what was wrong. "Didn't you go out and look for a job? Didn't you find it? How is it sullen? ā
"......" is not only sullen, but simply miserable.
But I also know that at this time, I must not tell her these bad things, so as not to affect her mood and make her unable to study hard.
"It's okay, I'll look for it tomorrow." I responded somewhat perfunctorily.
I am annoyed to death when I think of Luo Jue.
That Tang Banxian has evaporated from the world? I took the ring and didn't even have a figure.
"Linglong, are you out of money?" Xia Yu put down the greens in his hand, looked at me and asked.
"I ......" I was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to tell her.
At this time, I am very ashamed that I can't help her, and if I let her help me in turn, then I will be even more ashamed.
She looked at me without speaking, turned on the faucet and washed her hands, then went back to her room.
After a while, she came back again, still holding a wad of cash in her hand, at least one or two thousand.
I looked at her in amazement, why did she suddenly have so much money?
"Xia Yu, where did you get the money?" I looked at her nervously and asked!
