Volume 5: The Rainy Season (5)
People change.
Changes over time.
Even Chen Zhao is a stranger to his future self. Not to mention someone who will be there 8 years later?
Yang Xiaoru's words made Chen Zhao instantly silent.
"Did Zhang Jun say that?"
"If you don't open your mouth, he's afraid he won't find you to get half a point back, don't you know this?"
Yang Xiaoru said softly, "Chen Zhao, we have known each other for a long time, and you know how Zhang Jun treats you." This time I came without his consent, he is a good person, so I was asked to be the bad guy. ”
“...”
Chen Zhao didn't speak, and his head was even shorter.
"I know it's not the right thing for me to do. But I can't help it, my child is only 1 year old, he is too young, and he needs to spend money. If I don't look for you, I don't know what to do. A few months ago, because I lent you all the money in my family, I couldn't get angry, I quarreled with him and got divorced..."
Yang Xiaoru said, and the stunned Chen Zhao suddenly interrupted her, "Borrow my money to make a divorce?" ”
"Hmm."
“...”
Chen Zhao's heart was cold.
That's not what Zhang Junhe said at the time... Didn't he say that he made Yang Xiaoru unhappy?
"Did he tell you some other reason?" Yang Xiaoru was stunned when she saw Chen Zhao's complicated eyes, and then sighed, "It seems to be." Chen Zhao, let me order it directly, I know that your family must have no money, but I heard that you have started working, plus your wife, you also have a lot of income a month, right? ”
"I won't ask you to pay it off all at once, after all, you also have a daughter, and it's not easy at home. I just want you to pay back 3000 a month, and slowly pay it back... All right? I hope you will consider Zhang Jun. He has always treated you like a brother. And I don't have a job, I have to take care of children, and now his company has a problem, otherwise I wouldn't have embarrassed you like this..."
The café with a slightly elegant pure music is actually quite warm and elegant.
But in Chen Zhao's ears at this moment, it was so harsh.
Xia Qing's affairs were enough to annoy him, and now the only bright future he could look forward to was shattered like this?
But he had to pay it back.
He couldn't say no.
Zhang Jun's help, Chen Zhao is firmly in mind. This kind of debt, even if the money is paid off, will still be saved for a lifetime.
"I see."
Finally, Chen Zhao stopped the small spoon of coffee and raised his head to meet the bright but unfamiliar eyes, "If my life is a little difficult... Sometimes I pay you 2000 a month, or a little less, is that okay? ”
"That's fine, everyone has a time when it's not easy, isn't it?" Yang Xiaoru smiled, but suddenly paused, and lowered her tone slightly, "But... Can you please not tell Zhang Jun about this? Just send money to my card every month. Otherwise, Zhang Jun will be angry when he finds out... Even if I'm for this family. ”
"I see..."
"Then I'm leaving." Yang Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the card number written on the paper that she had prepared a long time ago to Chen Zhao, "I'll ask for this coffee, but now I have to take the child home, I'm afraid he will catch a cold." ”
"Okay... But can I ask, how much do I owe Zhang Jun now? ”
"Well, seven, seven, eight, eight, about more than 100,000, just count 100,000."
....
The car is moving.
"Is it really okay for you to do this?" The middle-aged man in the main driver saw his sister's smile in the rearview mirror, and sighed softly, "Zhang Junzhen knows, he may really divorce you." ”
Yang Xiaoru's smile retracted.
She looked at the sleeping child in her hand, and recovered lukewarmly, "I'm for this family, besides, Zhang Jun won't know, because Chen Zhao won't say it." I'm not excessive, and I have left room for it. ”
The middle-aged man also seems to know Chen Zhao.
He looked at the lost figure that slowly walked out of the café, and his eyes were a little complicated.
"Where is Chen Yi now?" He asked
"I don't know." Yang Xiaoru replied: "But, well, I think she will come to Chen Zhao soon... Probably. ”
....
Chen Zhao did not return home.
The pestle was at the door for a long time, looking at the lights that were still on, Chen Zhao said softly, "I'll go to the hospital to see Xiaole", he didn't go in and took out two yuan of bus money, and trotted towards the hospital penniless.
Chen Zhao is not afraid of the pressure of life.
No matter how difficult life is, he thinks that as long as Xia Qing resumes his work and finds a way to make money and work, everything can be solved slowly.
There's still something to look forward to, isn't there?
He's just afraid, afraid that this home will be gone... He was afraid that he would get some answers from Xia Qing's answers that he didn't want to know.
Cowardly and afraid to face it, he could only answer himself when he was evading, "Just go and see your worried daughter first, Xia Qing will definitely give him the answer." ’
...
In Chen Zhao's inner world, dark clouds had covered the moonlight, and the sky was dark.
The lights of the secluded night and alley were extinguished early, and only Chen Zhao was left. In this way, he walked slowly and step by step.
The dancing wind was in reverse trying to push him back, back to that house, and in front of Xia Qing. But in order to escape, he even did not hesitate to go against the wind.
He wants the world to be quiet. But in fact, it is also very quiet, and the only thing that is louder than the wind on the lonely street is the cans that are blown from time to time and 'clang' and jump around.
However, the reality is not so cruel and indifferent. There are still pedestrians on the road, the lights of the passing buildings are also on, the noisy cans are gone, and they are being flattened by non-stop cars on the road...
It's just that he thinks everything to the extreme.
....
came to the hospital, entered the daughter's ward, and learned that his daughter had eaten ice cream, which was not particularly serious. It's just that he cried uncomfortably for a while, and after taking medicine and doing some treatment, Chen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
He sat in front of his sleeping daughter at the moment, and watched quietly.
There are 6 points and myself like... There are also 3 points like Xia Qing.
Well, that nose is very similar to Xia Qing, it is the kind of feeling that you will have a good impression at a glance, revealing the feeling of a 'good girl'.
Chen Zhao leaned against the bedside and looked at his daughter like this. It's just that suddenly, the tears of grievance that were covered up in front of Xia Qing in order to be strong, the uncomfortable pressure of collecting debts with Yang Xiaoru and the guilt of her daughter, in this silent ward, began to fall down uncontrollably.
"Daddy?" Suddenly, her daughter Xiaole opened her eyes.
This frightened Chen Zhao and quickly wiped away his tears, but even so, the tears still made his daughter see "Dad, what's wrong?" ”
"No... It's nothing. Can't you sleep? ”
The daughter didn't answer, her big sensible eyes looked at Chen Zhao like this for a while, and whispered, "Dad, Xiaole doesn't hurt." It's Xiaole who wants to eat ice cream, don't blame Dad, Dad don't cry. ”
This sentence made Chen Zhao's collapsed tears pour down again.
He bit his lip, not wanting to show his ugliness in front of his daughter, but no matter what, he couldn't hide the tears.
