Chapter 10: New Members

When I arrived at the rental house, Anxin carefully sorted out his clothes, changed into new shoe covers, medical gloves, and said, "Please leave it to me with peace of mind." "I entered the room.

Anxin began to tidy up Xiao Min's desk, which was the last place Xiao Min spent before her death.

Xiao Min took a lot of sleeping pills before jumping off the building, and the pill box on the table was still open, and there were a few sleeping pills scattered around the corner of the table. It can be seen that Xiao Min was very anxious at that time, so she seemed very hurried and helpless, and the painful depression made her finally lose her mind and walk to the windowsill.

Anxin carefully observed the tabletop, there were two pots of green plants on the table, and there were a few drops of oil stains in the very secret place of the leaves, Anxin could see that it was a trace left by eating, Xiao Min didn't find it, or didn't have time to find it.

Anxin knew that it must be the traces left by Xiao Min before she committed suicide, she ordered takeout, and the surveillance of the day also showed that Xiao Min had gone downstairs before committing suicide, and she just went to throw away the garbage.

Even when deciding to commit suicide, Xiao Min was thinking about others. I don't even want to worry about the people who tidy up the room because of the disposal of kitchen waste.

My heart hurt inexplicably for a while, and even if I had experienced a lot of such scenes, I couldn't help but feel distressed for my little sensitive. An Xin has obsessive-compulsive disorder and Xiao Min suffers from depression, they are both people who are easily abandoned, even if they have tried their best to integrate, but in the end it seems that they can only be estranged.

Just like not long after Anxin entered the Anjia, after struggling and resisting to no avail, Anxin gradually accepted the reality. The second grandfather was very good to her, and in her early years, An Guosheng was also very good to her.

They all care about peace of mind, as if they are their own daughters.

But this state did not last long, and in the year when the college entrance examination ended, An Guosheng's attitude towards her suddenly changed. He found Anxin and told Anxin: "You are now eighteen years old, everything we can do has been done, and in the future, you will have to rely on yourself." ”

Since then, An Guosheng has become a very stranger, very tough and ruthless.

It was also from that time that every expense of Anxin An Guosheng would be recorded in the account. From tuition expenses to meal expenses, An Guosheng remembers every sum clearly. This also led to Anxin having to do some part-time subsidized life when she was a freshman, but at that time she could only work as a waitress, and occasionally received some translation and simple design work, but there were very few.

……

There are several bank cards in the drawer, which are neatly placed, and even for convenience, Xiao Min put a note under each bank card, on which the bank and balance are clearly written.

Five bank cards, the balance adds up to only 5,000 yuan.

took out the soft cloth bag, and carefully put away these "valuables" with peace of mind, and there were some jewelry next to it, a silver bracelet was given to her by her brother, a pair of earrings and a gold ring, the ring was bought by Xiao Min for herself, and she was a little surprised.

There weren't many things, and it only took more than an hour to sort them out. Subsequently, Anxin began to sort out Xiaomin's clothes.

There are not many clothes, and they are not branded clothes, and the price of each piece is about 100 yuan. Anxin carefully checked the pockets of the clothes and found nothing.

The strange thing is that there are still two pieces of delivery man's clothes in the closet, although there are traces of use, they are both clean and tidy.

There is a medicine box in the corner, but apparently it is not a medicine inside, it seems to be something very important to Xiao Min. Anxin didn't rush to open it, put the medicine box on the desk, and finally checked it.

Beds, TV cabinets, refrigerators, kitchens...... It took more than two hours to finally finish sorting out the other items.

Now all that's left is the medicine box and the notes that haven't been read.

The moment I opened the medicine box, the doubts in Anxin's heart were finally solved.

There is a tin box in the upper left corner of the medicine box, and inside are two stacks of IOUs. The pile on it was wrapped with a rubber band, and each IOU had the words "paid off" written on it, and after a rough calculation, there were already more than 130,000 of these alone. And the pile below is the IOU that has not been paid off, and there are not many, only 5,000 yuan left.

Looking at the handwriting on the IOU, I was at a loss. The scene in front of her suddenly appeared when An Guosheng asked her to write an IOU for the first time.

Signature, date and even handprint, that day, An Guosheng in Anxin's eyes was very unfamiliar, as if he had completely changed a person.

To Anxin's surprise, the borrower on each IOU was not actually Xiao Min, but a person named Chen Hui. Anxin guessed that this Chen Hui should be Xiaomin's mother.

It finally makes sense.

Five years ago, Xiao Min ran away from home in order to escape marriage, and then because of the debts of her family who regretted her marriage, Xiao Min had to work hard to pay off the money. It can also be found from the previous sorting that in order to make money, Xiao Min has worked as a part-time delivery boy, restaurant waiter, and so on.

In the past five years, Xiao Min's mother has continuously transferred the family's arrears to Xiao Min, so Xiao Min's records of those so-called care calls should be incomplete. Relatives and friends are indeed very concerned about Xiao Min, but they are more concerned about when Xiao Min will be able to repay the arrears. As for the part of the dunning, Xiao Min did not record it.

Thinking of the words of the landlord's aunt, peace of mind is more certain. In the eyes of the landlord, Xiao Min is a very profitable person, but her final deposit is only 5,000 yuan.

Bingxin's poetry collection, that is Xiao Min's longing for home. A thick IOU, that is the reality that Xiao Min has to face. And the teddy bear keychain that she carries with her is also Xiaomin's last insistence on friendship.

A migrant girl living in a difficult place, she could have completely separated from her family and lived a good life of her own, but she chose the most difficult path.

Perhaps, Xiao Min is relieved.

At the end of her life, she finally paid off those arrears.

Perhaps, Xiao Min is also guilty.

For five years, she may have been tormented by the harm caused to her family by running away from marriage.

At the bottom of the pill box is a letter sealed with glue, one for my mother, one for my brother, one for my sister-in-law's nephew, and of course, one for Lin Peipei.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon after finishing all the tidying, and Anxin was about to leave when he received a call from Jiang Xinran.

It's urgent.

"How's it going, are you done?" Jiang Xinran asked.

"The relics have been sorted out, and the rest will have to be decided by the family." Anxin looked calm and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Jiang Xinran smiled and hesitated for a moment before saying: "I have a design case here that has not been passed, the other party is a very important customer of mine, I think this gang of rice buckets must be out of line, don't you meet the Buddha and beg you to go out of the mountain?" ”

"Okay, I know, I'll go back to you later, I'll hang up first."

Usually, Anxin's mobile phone is silent when she is working, and she doesn't want to disrupt the work progress and disturb the purity of the deceased because of her personal affairs.

This time exception, Xiaomin's family is not in Tianfeng, and she has to answer their calls at any time.

It wasn't until six o'clock that Anxin arrived at the company, and Xiaomin's experience made her unable to calm down. She couldn't believe that there were really two people in the world who were so similar, the same abandoned by their families, the same tortured by illness, the same missing mother but abandoned by their mother, and the same debts......

In the process of sorting out Xiao Min's relics, it seems that everything can be seen with peace of mind. The key chain of teddy bears, the frame without the photo, the pot of pothos on the windowsill. In the past, they all tried hard to fit in, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't escape reality in the end.

Maybe just like Xiaomin's mother, Anxin's mother has never loved her.

With a long sigh of relief, he sorted out his emotions and went up to the thirteenth floor with peace of mind. After so many years, Anxin really can't let go of many things, but time has already carved her into such a tough woman today, Anxin knows that showing weakness will be regarded as a weak person by others. And in the face of the weak, sympathy and bullying are unavoidable, and those are certainly not what peace of mind wants.

Seeing the number thirteen flashing on the elevator, Anxin was suddenly stunned, Xiao Min's suicide was also on the thirteenth floor, which ......

Of course, this is a coincidence, for a person who is engaged in the sorting of relics, Anxin never believes in any ghosts and gods, and some are just respectful and remembrance of the deceased.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

The company has already gotten off work, and seeing Jiang Xinran sitting at the workstation at the door waiting, he guessed that this product must have encountered a problem.

"The work of my three best designers has all been killed, and I suspect that this client is deliberately trying to find fault." Jiang Xinran looked unhappy.

"Isn't that like your character? When did you learn to serve? Anxin asked.

"Don't mention it, this is my big customer, and half of the company's business is related to him, so I can't afford to offend."
