99. The Shadow of Childhood

"Five million?" Kyushu Cheng was taken aback, and hurriedly asked:

"Why do you owe so much debt?!"

Although Makoto Kyushu really wanted to help this friend, he had to find out why the other party owed money first.

If the other party owes money for unavoidable reasons - such as a serious illness or fraud - even if Kyushu Makoto can't afford it, he must help within his ability.

But if the other party is contaminated with incorrigible "hobbies" such as pornography, gambling and drugs, then she is purely deserved, and the biggest good thing Kyushu Cheng can do is to call her to the police immediately.

"It's all said, it's okay with you" Liang Gong shook his head and began to pull his hair anxiously:

"I shouldn't have told you in the first place, this kind of thing is not within the scope of Koharukawa's ability."

"Don't say anything that's out of my scope." Kyushu Cheng stared at her closely: "Tell me the reason for the debt first, what if I have the ability to help?" ”

Hearing this, Liang Gong sighed faintly and said in a low voice:

"Hey, why do you men like to talk to yourself?"

"As long as a woman acts like you a little, you will gather around her like bees and do things that you think are good for her, completely ignoring her feelings"

"Chuncheon, you too. You must look down on me as a wine escort in your heart, right? It's just because my face has the same appetite as you, I look good, I can play the appearance of a confidant big sister, and I am inferior to you in terms of identity, so you think it's very face-saving to be friends with me, right? ”

When he said these words, Liang Gongzhen's tone gradually became cold and resentful, like a resentful woman who chattered with gods, and her tone and words were very irritable, not at all like the optimistic and cheerful big sister on weekdays.

In other words, the usual image of a "big sister" is more like her business status, a disguise she fabricates in order to be popular at work and socially.

β€œ.” Makoto Kyushu frowned, knowing that he could no longer communicate normally.

"Well, whatever you want." Makoto Kyushu shook his head, turned around and left the door:

"I have class tomorrow, so I'll go back first. You drink less alcohol in the future, which hurts your body. ”

"It's so long-winded, I asked you not to pretend to care about me." Suzumiya muttered to his back.

Soon, there was a sound of the door closing at the entrance door, and Kyushu Makoto must have left.

Suzumiya lowered her eyes and stared at the dirty floor in disappointment.

"Nosy stinky little imp. Concentrate on going to your prestigious university, and don't worry about a wine girl like me."

She sighed, picked up the note written by Makoto Kyushu casually, tore it apart, and her breathing became heavy.

As early as a month before he met Kyushu Makoto, Lianggong Chu had already lost all hopes.

She has lived in a pathetic family since she was a child: her father is an alcoholic who loves to gamble on horses, and he often punches and scolds the mother and daughter; The mother is the kind of traditional woman with a weak temperament, even if she is beaten and her face is red and bruised, she will only hold her daughter and cry, and the next day she will lie that she accidentally fell and help her husband say good things.

This environment forged a rebellious heart for her. She started hanging out with bad students in high school and ended up dropping out of school as a matter of course.

So she simply cut off the relationship with her family and ran to Tokyo alone, whether it was a waitress or a cafΓ© maid, and finally was taken by a public relations club in Kamurochachi and became a barmaid publicist.

It wasn't until more than three months ago that she received a phone call:

[That gambler dad of yours owes us a lot of money, and now he has five million with interest! 】

"It's my business! Go for him! "Liang Gong Zhen naturally went back:

"You guys just sink him into Tokyo Bay, don't the underworld like that?"

But then, the other party's response made her creepy:

[To tell you the truth, your father did run away, and we couldn't catch him at all, but your mother still lives in the old place~]

[If you don't help pay back the money, we'll have to find your mother, and]

"Damn, you bastards! What do you want to do to her?! Hearing this, Liang Gong Chu was so anxious that he dropped the phone.

Admittedly, she had a bad impression of her parents. A violent maniac, a coward, neither of whom she can sympathize.

She remembers that when she was in middle school, she also angrily scolded her mother several times for being a "coward". Every time my mother listened, she just turned to the side aggrievedly and didn't say a word.

But when she really heard that her mother was in danger, she felt like a knife.

In the past, every time my father beat someone, my mother would protect her in her arms; Even though the family's money was taken away by her father, her mother would still take out a few dirty coins from somewhere and quietly help her buy discounted lunches

Ryomiya immediately made a video call to confirm the situation with her mother.

She saw that her mother was even more haggard than before, and the originally poor family was even more deprived, and most of the belongings were sold to pay off gambling debts.

The mother still has a "cowardly" look and tone. She said that there were indeed several groups of debt collectors in the house, who looked very much like the underworld, and every time they scared her out of shape, and said that they would sell her organs to pay off the debt.

After all, blood is thicker than water, and Liang Gong couldn't bear it, so he signed a usury debt contract with those people from the "underground bank" and promised to help his father repay his debts.

But her own savings are only more than one million yen, or she has saved a little bit in the past two years - she is already one of the few female publicists who has the consciousness of saving money, and the colleagues around her are basically moonshiners who earn as much as they spend.

She had dreamed of saving enough money to leave Kamuro Town and live a normal life when she couldn't do it anymore.

But with this "five million" mountain of loan sharks, her future has become extremely bleak.

Maybe she didn't make enough money, and she was forced to leave the industry due to health reasons or other changes.

What else could she do then? Watching the people of the underground money bank harass his mother and remove his mother's organs?

She thought her life would go on like this, until two months ago, she met the teenager.

She happened to be harassed that day by a drunk guest who wanted to make a "further deal" with her.

The bald stinky drunk man also bragged that he was a councilor, as long as Liang Gongchun obeyed him, he would be able to make her a councilor's lover in the future and enjoy glory and wealth.

"If you submit to him, you will have money in the future, and your mother will be safe."

Obviously, the other party is most likely bragging, but she inexplicably began to fantasize like this.

Crazy thoughts seemed to tear out her brain and leave her at a loss of what to do.

She even felt that suicide was a good ending.

At that moment, a teenager suddenly bursts into her life, knocks the bastard drunk down with a punch, and shatters her unrealistic fantasies together.

When she worked in the service industry, she saw all kinds of people.

They either release their malice and desires nakedly; Or pretend to hide desires and play hypocrites.

Only this young man, she had never seen before.

The boy has a goodness from the heart, not as pure and immaculate as an angel; It's like a coal stove lamp, which can be burned if it is not used properly, but as long as it is treated well, it will bring light and warmth.

In other words, the greatest desire of a teenager is to be kind.

"There is such an interesting person as Koharukawa in this world, if only I could live a little longer."

The teenager was like a depressant who made her give up the idea of self-destruction, so she decided to continue working hard to earn money to pay off her debts.

The days went on until last week, when she had helped her father pay off a million. The underground bank called her again:

[Your father is on his knees and begging us to lend him a million, and this money must also be recorded in the account. For your poor mother's sake, you'll help pay it back, won't you? 】

"What do you mean to borrow another million..."Liang Gong was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the mobile phone fell to the ground with a "click".

At this moment, she finally understood. She has fallen for the scheme of this "underground bank", and they want to squeeze her without limit.

If she gritted her teeth and accepted this debt, the underground bank would definitely lend her father more "one million", or even three million, five million, or ten million

It's a bottomless pit!

But if she doesn't admit the debt, what if those people really do it to her mother? Aren't all the debts she paid before meaningless?

Call the police? The country's police are a bunch of people who "treat homicide as suicide in order to reduce the crime rate." I am afraid that it will not be useful to find the police, but it will anger the people in the underground bank.

She had to get herself drunk, squatted in despair at the door of "Kyushu Ichibanxing" and cried, and was finally sent home by Kyushu Makoto.

In the room, Suzumiya covered her face with her hands and broke down and cried, as if she could get relief by doing so:

"Woo... That's not enough money. If this continues, my mother will be in danger, and they will kill my mother."

"Daddy, bastard... Woo woo... If you owe gambling debts, take responsibility for me, and don't let my mother suffer! ”

"Help, it's good for anyone to save me. I've been. I can't hold it anymore."

"Ding-dongβ€”" I don't know how long I cried, but the doorbell rang outside the entrance.

"Huh?" Suzumiya looked up in surprise.

It's already early in the morning, who would visit at such a time? Could it be that he is a debt collector of NHK?

"I'm sorry, Sister Tsubaki."

Outside the door was Xiao Chunchuan's shout:

"I've got something left at your house, please let me come in and get it!"
