Chapter 8: The Room Is Occupied
The rain gradually stopped.
Lin Xiaolu put away his umbrella and stood at the door of his old house, with a lamp outside the old-fashioned house.
She went home without saying a word, and her parents were still waiting for her 30,000 yuan, not knowing how they would react when they saw her come back late at night.
Her mother was afraid that she would not be able to sleep all night.
As soon as Lin Xiaolu opened the door with the key, there was movement inside.
"Is it Ah Xiong coming back, why is it so late." This was a concerned voice that Lin Xiaolu had never heard, and he suddenly felt sad.
Lin Mu didn't expect that when she just walked to the living room, she saw not Lin Xiong, but Lin Xiaolu, who was also pulling a big suitcase beside her!
"What are you doing here?" Mother Lin finished yelling, and Father Lin also rushed out in his clothes.
"Fawn, you- why did you come back? Come in, you're all wet. Father Lin pulled Mother Lin away, and Mother Lin watched in disbelief as Lin Xiaolu came in with her suitcase.
"What about 30,000 yuan, did you bring it back?" Mother Lin broke free from Father Lin and ripped her backpack from Lin Xiaolu.
Lin Xiaolu was knocked to the side by her and almost fell.
"Why are there only a few hundred?" Mother Lin threw the money in Lin Xiaolu's face, and the backpack was thrown aside by her angrily.
"I was fired from the company and couldn't come up with that much money for a while." Lin Xiaolu saw the other side and didn't want to look at Lin Mu, it would only make her heart block.
Mother Lin beat her chest and paused: "Then what are you doing when you come back?" Shall we raise you? It's impossible, you refused the family affair I arranged for you, saying that you wanted to go out and have a big career, and now you don't have 30,000 yuan! Say it and laugh off people's big teeth! ”
"That old guy is the same age as you, and he's sick, what am I doing in the past? Rushing to widow him? ”
Lin Xiaolu felt incredible, why was she still mentioning this after so long, when she had just graduated.
"So what, are you good yourself? At least people have money, there are several shops, what do you have, it's good to find someone to marry. ”
"Yes, it's better to ask the old man for a dowry and leave it for my brother to do business, Mom, I'm also your daughter, can you think about it for me?"
Mother Lin was dizzy for a while: "I don't think about you, why am I raising you so big?" It's been a long time ago—"
"That's enough, do you want to make a fuss in the middle of the night so that everyone knows?" Father Lin interrupted Mother Lin's speech, and Mother Lin was so angry that her chest rose and fell.
Lin Xiaolu bit her lip, she was also angry in her heart, since she was a child, her mother only knew partiality and never cared about her warmth and coldness.
She dragged her luggage and went back to her room without saying a word.
Father Lin opened his mouth, but Lin Xiaolu had already pushed the door open.
The room that originally belonged to her is now full of clutter, and even her mattress has tires.
The little bear that the classmate gave her was crushed under the chair in a dirty state.
"How can this be ......"
Father Lin explained embarrassedly: "Your brother wanted to do a car dealership business of repairing bicycles and selling motorcycles before, so he engaged in these things, tomorrow you clean up, you can live, and tonight I will wronged you and sleep in the living room." ”
But this is obviously her room, she has lived in it for more than ten years, and Lin Xiaolu's eyes are hot.
Is this home no longer able to accommodate even one of her things?
Mother Lin held her forehead: "I'm dizzy, no, this person is just with me, and I feel uncomfortable when she comes back." ”
Lin Xiaolu took a big breath and forcibly endured the heat swelling in his eyes.
Father Lin prepared a sheet for Lin Xiaolu, and he wiped his clothes with his hands awkwardly: "Let's sleep in the living room tonight, don't take your mother's words to heart." ”
"Dad, will you blame me? I can't get the 30,000 yuan. Lin Xiaolu raised her head, she wanted to know what her father thought.
"It's okay, I know I'm sorry for you, take a good rest." Father Lin said a word, and patted Lin Xiaolu on the back.
Lin Xiaolu didn't cry just now, and it wasn't until this moment that her tears couldn't stop crying.
Home was originally her harbor, but why is she dispensable to this home? Mom is going to move her room, why doesn't Dad stop her?
When she asked if she blamed her just now, her father obviously paused, he actually cared, he couldn't take out 30,000 yuan.
A huge sense of loneliness instantly enveloped her, and there was no one behind her.
In the middle of the night, Lin Xiaolu woke up hungry, a colic hit her stomach, in order to catch the car, she ate a little bread, and the things at the train station were so expensive that she couldn't afford it.
Then someone sat on her lap and kicked her in fright, followed by a familiar howl: "Who! ”
The lights in the living room suddenly turned on.
Lin Xiong stretched out his hand to block Lin Xiaolu's pillow attack, and grabbed the pillow hard, only then did he see who was beating him.
"Why are you back?"
The unkempt and messy person in front of her was her brother Lin Xiong.
Obviously, Lin Xiong is 1.83 meters old, and Lin's mother still treats him as a child of several years.
Mother Lin put on her clothes and came over, looking distressed: "Are you frightened?" ”
Lin Xiong shook his head.
Mother Lin glared at Lin Xiaolu, then treated her as a transparent person, and softly pulled Lin Xiong to the dining room: "I left you a meal, you are hungry, hurry up and eat, there are chicken wings you like." ”
Lin Xiaolu rubbed her stomach and lowered her eyes lonely, she didn't eat anything, why didn't she ask? It's obviously a family, why is she the only one who isn't cared for.
"Why did she come back?" Lin Xiong's eyes pointed at Lin Xiaolu.
"I have no money, go home and eat and wait for death." Mother Lin said meanly. "Not even 30,000 yuan."
"She came back from the city anyway, and there are still three inches of nails in the broken boat, so I don't believe she has a point."
Mother Lin's eyes flashed, and she comforted: "It's okay, with me, you can eat quickly." ”
——
It's gone!
After Lin Xiaolu cleaned up the room the next afternoon, he found that the bank card in his backpack was missing.
It just so happened that Lin Xiong came back.
When he saw her, his eyes dodged, and when he saw that there was a problem, Lin Xiaolu walked over and asked, "Brother, did you take my bank card." ”
"I don't know." He flickered.
"You've lied like this since the novel, hurry up and return the money to me." Lin Xiaolu blocked his way.
Lin Xiong was pestered by her impatiently: "No, I'm done." ”
Lin Xiaolu seemed to have been struck by a bolt of lightning, and then hit him frantically: "How can you do this, that's my money." ”
When Mother Lin came back, she saw Lin Xiaolu beating her precious son, so she quickly put down the things in her hand and pushed Lin Xiaolu away: "Why are you beating your brother." ”
Lin Xiaolu hurriedly said: "Mom, my brother stole my money." ”
"What to steal, keep your mouth clean, your card is my take, I know your password." After Mother Lin finished speaking, she checked Lin Xiong's injuries distressedly.
"Mom, what did you say?"
"What's wrong with taking your little money?" Mother Lin pointed to the gold and silver ingots used to worship ancestors: "In two days, it will be your grandfather's death day, your brother is your grandfather's only grandson, you are so noisy, do you want him to be unpeaceful!" ”
