Chapter 9 Relatives
In his free time in the afternoon, Su Bai continued to do the work of outsourced translation of the old era, and after clearing all the tasks that had accumulated so far, he breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing that the amount in the account had increased by another thousand.
He skillfully operated his mobile phone and called the 5,000 yuan he had recently saved into his family account, and he only had 200 yuan left in his card for living expenses, and then he soon received a call.
He was stunned, looked at the caller, whose name was written "Mom", and couldn't help but laugh helplessly.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked it up.
"Hey, Mom......"
After the phone was answered, it was a familiar and slightly nervous woman's voice: "Ah Bai, why did you call home so much money...... You only paid 7,000 yuan last time, and the family hasn't used it up yet, so you can't do anything illegal......"
"Mom, don't think about it, this is what I earned by my own ability, didn't I tell you, I'm studying with a professor now, and it's still very profitable to do some projects......"
Su Bai patiently explained.
He was just an orphan in his previous life, and after fusing his current memories, he cherishes his family in this life very much.
"That'...... Then you have some money left, eat something good outside, and now I have found a job cooking in the factory, and I can still earn some money......" Mom still whispered on the phone, and there was some noisy noise next to it, probably from taking time to call when I was at work.
Su Bai's heart warmed: "Mom, my sister now spends so much money on treatment in the hospital every day, and this money is still a lot worse." Besides, she has to save enough money for surgery as soon as possible so that she can get better......"
"Alas...... If it weren't for your dad's affair, it wouldn't have implicated the two of you......" Mom's voice was full of guilt.
Su Bai was silent slightly, smiled reluctantly, and fooled over.
It wasn't until his mother hung up the phone that he let out a long sigh.
To be honest, the family's experience has been a bit tortuous.
Originally, my father started a company, the business was good, and the original body could be regarded as a rich second generation, with no worries about food and clothing, and it was very comfortable.
Who knew that later, the company went bankrupt due to the accidental rupture of the capital chain for some reasons, and creditors from all walks of life directly blocked the door to collect debts, splashing paint and pouring shit and various means emerged in an endless stream!
The father, who was sad all night, couldn't bear the blows from heaven and earth, and couldn't stand the betrayal of his former siblings, so he committed suicide by jumping off the building in despair, leaving the original owner and them to bear these blames.
Houses, vehicles and other properties were all auctioned off to pay off debts, the original owner had just been admitted to college at the time, and even couldn't afford the tuition fees for a while, so he could only work on his own to earn money and the school's financial support to barely survive, while his mother took his younger sister, who was still in junior high school at the time, to rent a cheap house to live.
However, the man-made disaster has not stopped.
Those heart-wrenching people who didn't get enough compensation actually bought a truck driver to deliberately attack his sister on her way to school!
Although the driver has been sentenced, the mastermind behind it has long since absconded and is still wanted. Although my sister was rescued in time, she still suffered comminuted fractures of both legs, extremely severe hemorrhage and concussion.
It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to go away after the ghost gate is closed.
Even if he was rescued after a lot of hard work, his body, which was originally very healthy, could only live in the hospital bed in an instant......
Thinking of these, Su Bai's breathing was a little sluggish, and he could almost imagine how much pressure the original body had.
The last hope of his mother and sister lies on his shoulders alone, and the slightest carelessness may be lost.
This is the main reason why he is trying to make as much money as he can.
To save enough money for my sister's surgery, the goal is still far away!
……
After he was done, the sky gradually darkened, and he simply bought two breads for dinner, while preparing the thesis materials that the professor would want tomorrow, he casually flipped through the posts in the campus forum to see what was happening on campus today.
The most replies on the homepage are not surprising that yesterday's news of "Night Patrol Security 405 Meets Ghost Discussion Complex".
Because of the confirmation of the school leaders and the security department, and many students saw the security guard being sent to the ambulance, there are not a few people who believe it.
Of course, there are also some atheists who don't believe in anything, and arrogantly type their dorm number in the forum, saying that the ghost will come to him in the middle of the night today to see if someone is pretending to be a ghost.
It's just that whether it's their own bedroom number or not remains to be studied, and this group of people doesn't think it's a big deal when they see the excitement.
Su Bai saw something even more terrifying with his own eyes last night, so he naturally smiled at these and didn't pay too much attention to them.
And after being frightened by myself yesterday, I guess that the tentacle monster didn't dare to come out again for a while.
Only suddenly, he flipped to a new anonymous post with a high reply below.
The title of the post reads: "I had a nightmare and woke up to find that the nightmare followed me to reality......"
Gimmick is quite strong.
He clicked on it, it seemed to be a short ghost story described by a college girl's self-report, the text described was a little confusing, it seemed that his mind was a little abnormal when typing, and the sentences were sometimes out of order.
"It's been half a month since I broke up with my ex-boyfriend."
"He's a person who doesn't have any opinions and doesn't seek progress, he only plays games all day long and wants to be tired of being with me, and I want to go to graduate school, I want to have a better future, and he doesn't fit me at all if he only makes girls happy, so I broke up with him."
"I don't know if I've ever loved him before. Maybe I just like the excitement he gives me, or maybe I just like his indulgence and tenderness with me. ”
"But now it seems that these are all useless stumbling blocks......"
Here, the landlord is very complaining and disgusted.
"After the breakup, my whole person is really much more relaxed, I can read books more seriously, and I don't have to worry about him sending messages to disturb me after I block him."
She seemed unusually happy.
"But he still refuses to give up, coming to the library, to the door of the classroom, to the downstairs door of my dormitory, pestering, stalking and trying to get back together, what a disgusting man. I don't know why I fell in love with him before. ”
"I couldn't bear it anymore, I scolded him in front of everyone, threw the gifts he gave into the trash, threw away everything related to him and destroyed it, and made him completely dead to me!"
"It worked, and he didn't come to me again. I think so, even the most shameless people can't stand this humiliation. ”
When I wrote this, there were a few replies below, all of which were discussing whether this practice was too much, and of course some girls retorted, saying that this kind of perverted behavior must be severely punished, and it was not bad if you didn't call the police.
Su Bai didn't comment on these emotional disputes, what interested him was what happened next.
"But since that day, I've been having nightmares about him......"
"I dreamed of his bloody appearance, crawling out of the underground grave and struggling to crawl towards me, reaching out to take me with him!"
"And he's getting closer to me every day, I'm really afraid that one day he'll be in front of me and take me away!"
The landlord seemed to be a little excited, and the interval between posts became faster and faster.
"Just last night, I woke up from a dream again, in which he was one step away from catching me, and I didn't dare to sleep any longer, I didn't dare to imagine what would happen if I was caught......"
"I'm covered in cold sweat and feel very uncomfortable, I want to wash my face, wipe my face and sober up, and I plan to read like this until morning. At that time, the other roommates were still sleeping, and I didn't want to wake them, so I didn't turn on the lights, and only used the light of the phone screen to touch the sanitary indirect water to wash my face......"
