Chapter 22 There is no snow in the sky, and the heart is even colder
"Qiuhua, go back and tell your mother quickly, I was in a hurry just now, and I didn't explain it clearly." Tian Jingru thought of something, and added: "By the way, Qiuhua, I will pay you back the money just now." Qiuhua gave her a smile to relax, turned around and walked out of the hospital.
When Qiuhua rushed home, he found that his neighbor Aunt Zhao's house was a little messy, and when he got home, he asked about his mother.
Zhang Lan sighed and said, "Does Aunt Zhao's son remember?" That's that millet. This bastard was out gambling and in debt, and was chased by someone in the Chinese New Year's Eve. You don't know the situation of your Aunt Zhao, you are sick, and you have to use the money every month to buy medicine, how can there be any extra money, I think that your money for the game will not arrive tomorrow? I lent her my savings. Your Aunt Zhao has had a rough life, her husband is sick and dead, she is sick again, and even her only son is so unmotivated, Andy, you will be out in the future, you have to help her, you know? ”
Qiuhua nodded heavily, and then said, "Mom, I gave Jingru the money for my part-time job." Then explained to her what had just happened, the mother thought for a while, and then sighed and said: "It's okay, anyway, your bonus will arrive tomorrow, that girl is so pitiful, just borrow her first, it's really not good, we will go to your aunt's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and deal with the tuition fee." But Andy, I want to tell you that you have to do what you can in the future, you know? ”
Qiu Hua nodded, in fact, in his heart, there were a hundred unwillingness to borrow money from his aunt.
By dusk the next day, Qiuhua's mobile phone still hadn't heard any news about the bank's credits. I was a little anxious for a while, so I called Zhou Liwen, but I didn't expect that the other party was already turned off, Qiuhua called one every once in a while, and there were already four or five, but the result was the same.
It stands to reason that he should not be idle on the first day of the new year as an editor of a magazine, besides, how can anyone turn off his mobile phone for a whole day on the first day of the new year, and Qiu Hua has an ominous premonition in his heart.
Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Qiuhua has to go to relatives. Qiuhua's mother is the eldest in the family, and she is the child adopted by Mr. Zhang, and later for some reason, her mother and the old man got into a bit of a stiff fight.
Later, the mother came out to start a family, and the contact between the two families gradually decreased, and the mother's two younger sisters, Zhang Mei and Zhang Ju, gradually hated this sister who was not related by blood, and later both of them married a very good husband, and now their lives can be regarded as well-off.
Zhang Lan led her son into the four-story house, where two similar women were sitting in the hall, watching TV. Zhang Lan's eyes gestured to Qiu Hua, Qiu Hua stepped forward and said reluctantly, "Hello Auntie." The two of them didn't pay attention, but saw Zhang Mei stand up and said, "Yo, isn't this the eldest sister, what kind of wind is blowing you here, isn't it here to make fun of what we are in now." By the way, what about brother-in-law? ”
Qiuhua didn't think that they didn't know what their father's situation was now, and when she said this, she secretly clenched her fists. Zhang Ju smiled and said, "Ah Mei, it's the New Year, don't say these unpleasant things, come on, sit down."
"Sheng, come out quickly, there are guests at home." Zhang Mei shouted upstairs. Hearing the sound, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-year-old child walked out, his hair was dyed green, and he scolded and said: "Get out, don't call me if it's okay, you can give it to me yourself after you receive the red envelope, let me go down and serve them, just forget it, men can't give in easily."
With that, he went into the room again. Qiuhua's mother looked a little embarrassed, but still respectfully handed over some fruit, and the two sisters looked at each other and laughed out loud.
Several people sat in the living room, looking at each other without saying a word. At this time, Zhang Ju pointed to the TV, and then said to Zhang Mei: "Sister Mei, look, that kid is really unproductive, he follows his mother all day long, and he doesn't make money." Pity the woman, her husband is dead, and she is still a burden. ”
Zhang Mei echoed: "Yes, yes, if my son is like that, I will strangle him to death." Zhang Ju said with a smile: "Hehehe, where will it be, sister, your family is excellent in literature and learning, you can stand up there, my family Sheng'er also has to learn from Wenshi, and become a writer in the future."
When Zhang Mei heard this, she smiled from ear to ear, and said with interest: "Sheng'er is not bad, don't look at him as only in the third year of junior high school, he will definitely be the champion in the future."
Zhang Ju waved his hand embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Where can it be compared to the previous time." However, although my family Sheng'er is not very good at reading, he has too many friends. A few days ago, I heard that he met a lot of sworn brothers in the game, and he will go to a party in a few days. Now, I have to rely on my friends when I'm away from home. Connections are wealth. Qiu Hua listened to their conversation, and the anger in her heart was even worse.
At this time, Qiuhua's mother finally spoke: "Two younger sisters, the eldest sister is in some trouble this year, can you ask the two younger sisters to help." Not much, more than a thousand, just give your nephew a name, the two brothers-in-law are both big businessmen, and they are both people who can make a lot of money. ”
The two men looked at each other as if they had expected this. Zhang Mei's eyebrows were twisted together, and she first spoke: "Eldest sister, don't you know, although your brother-in-law is an executive in Xiangyang Group, but this is just a scenery in front of people, although he can make money, but he will also spend money, he has a good face, sometimes he invites colleagues to dinner, and sometimes he is kind, donating money to that pin, kun child, this is a good deed, I also think I want to support him, so at the end of the year, I really didn't save much money, sister, you just let me go."
Zhang Lan smiled awkwardly and looked at Zhang Ju again. Zhang Ju's tears had already been squeezed out at this time, and she complained again: "Eldest sister, my experience will only be more bitter than that of eldest sister, you also know that your brother-in-law is an educational institution, but something happened a few days ago, and people sued him, and now he is suffering from a lawsuit." After this incident, the business of the institution has also suffered a big blow, and I still think that if the eldest sister has more than enough, can you even me a little, it is really God to play tricks on us. ”
Qiuhua looked at these two aunts with superb acting skills, and couldn't help but sigh again and again.
Just when Zhang Lan was in an embarrassing situation, there was a violent roar from upstairs, and the half-grown boy yelled downstairs: "Hey, give me money, I want to buy equipment, these garbage dare to challenge our guild, I want to recruit troops." Also, can you TM clean up the pile of garbage downstairs, is the cleaning dead? It stinks so much that I can't even play the game. ”
Zhang Ju hurriedly wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Good son, in a few days, my mother doesn't have any cash on hand." Wang Xiaosheng directly ignored his mother's words and continued to roar: "If you don't have money, you can borrow it, I can't let my brothers be humiliated, and you can contribute some money, and those two people will go out later, let them clear the garbage." After saying that, he slammed the door shut, and the whole house seemed to tremble.
Qiuhua couldn't hold back anymore at this time, stood up and said, "Mom, let's go, they are too deceitful." I'd rather work all my life than use their money to study. ”
Zhang Mei didn't know if she was frightened, or what, she took out a thousand yuan, and persuaded her with good words: "Sister, you can keep this money, but I will trouble you to throw the garbage away later, the garbage station near it has been full these days, and it is really troublesome for you." Also, it's Ah Hua, don't be too impulsive, he's still a child, what do you care about him. ”
Qiuhua didn't even look at her, and pulled her mother to go out. The mother hesitated for a while, but still took the money, bowed her head and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will pay it back." Turned around and walked out of the living room, holding two large bags of garbage over his shoulders before leaving.
When Qiuhua saw it, he immediately ran forward, helped his mother share a bag, turned around and walked out of Zhang's house, Qiuhua vaguely heard a voice from behind: "Whew, finally sent the mourning star away." Qiu Hua clenched his fists and silently swore an oath in his heart.
On the streets, the snow finally stopped after a few days. Today, when there is no snow, it is cold to the bone...
