Chapter 19: The scumbag comes to the door
Although Jiang Chen seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, his mind was actually like a clockwork clock, constantly worrying about his livelihood.
He now works as a temporary worker in the crematorium, collecting corpses everywhere at night, earning two yuan a day, although the income is not high, but he can barely maintain the livelihood of a family of three.
But the job was not precarious, and once the crematorium hired people, he lost his job.
was worried, Leng Buding heard his sister say that he was going to drop out of school, his temper suddenly came up, and he opened the curtain and glared at each other.
"What do you think if you don't go crazy with labor and capital, and don't study?"
Jiang Yao glared back unto be outdone, "I can't afford to eat, what kind of books are you still reading, I'll work with you!" ”
Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiang Yao, his face was gloomy, "If you let you study, you will read it well for the labor and management, and it will not be your turn to worry about money, and if you let the labor and management hear you say that you don't want to study, the leg bar will be broken for you!" ”
Jiang Yao stiffened her neck, "Why are you beating, I also lay down on the bed if you broke my foot, you serve me like a mother, and I still enjoy it!" ”
Jiang Chen threw the curtain on Jiang Yao's head and fell on the bed.
The sound of heavy breathing, and the cold air that was even bubbling out of his hair, was enough to indicate how bad his mood was at this time.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was angry, Jiang Yao was also a little annoyed, she really didn't want to study, she just wanted to help reduce the burden on the family.
After sitting with his head bored for a while, Jiang Yao got up and went out lightly.
She has to pick up garbage, and if she is lucky, she can earn three or five cents a day.
As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Chen on the bed opened his eyes, staring at the gray roof with a gloomy face.
I need money for food, my sister needs money to study, and my mother needs money for medicine and rent......
The expenses of each item were like countless heavy boulders pressing on his thin body, making him breathless.
He regretted it.
One hundred yuan is enough to relieve most of the financial pressure on him.
He shouldn't have paid it back, just ask if her head was caught in the door, and next time, he will definitely not pay it back!
You can't pay it back even if you die!
Because of the loss of a hundred yuan, Ruan Qing was bored at home for a day, and he didn't even have an appetite for lunch, but after Ruan Dahai came home in the evening, he took it out as a joke and told it, Ruan Qing's depression was super doubled, and he secretly scolded Jiang Chen again in his heart.
"Ahh Ahh ”
Seeing Jiang Chen sneezing twice in a row, Zhang Chunxi laughed at him, "Is it that a girl is thinking about you again?" ”
Jiang Chen ignored him, raised his hand and rubbed his nose with the curl of his glove, his dark eyes staring directly at the body bag that had just been carried into the car.
Zhang Chunxi looked at him, "My R, your eyes are so terrifying, it's like you're going to eat someone." ”
Jiang Chen still ignored him, but reached out and pulled the body bag open.
Seeing the dead man's face exposed in the body bag, Zhang Chunxi quickly tilted his head to the side.
Although the two of them have carried a lot of corpses, they are all packed in body bags, and they don't feel scared if they don't see them, but they still feel horrible.
The deceased in the bag was an old woman of about seventy years of age, with skin like old bark hanging on her face, and wearing a decent summer dress with a corduroy coat over it.
The coat is almost ninety percent new and can be sold for some money.
Jiang Chen reached out to unbutton the old man's coat, and Zhang Chunxi was so frightened that he grabbed his hand.
"I'm R, what are you going to do? An old woman, it's cold, do you want to be so......"
"You crawl for Lao Tzu!"
Jiang Chen scolded him and continued to unbutton the old man's coat.
Zhang Chunxi gaged on his lips, but he silently helped in his hands.
The two quickly took off the corduroy jacket from the old man's body, and then put the old man's body back into the body bag in a regular manner.
Jiang Chen took out the sack prepared in advance, folded the coat and put it in, and then hid the sack.
After doing all this, both of them collapsed on the stool, gasping for air.
It's not that they're tired, but they're nervous, and the two of them have carried a lot of dead people, and it's the first time they've picked up something from a dead person.
Zhang Chunxi stared at Jiang Chen and smiled, "Your baby shocked the labor and capital, and thought you were going to do something bad." ”
After laughing, he scolded again, "Your turtle son is too immoral, even taking the things of the dead." ”
Jiang Chen stared at him coldly and didn't say a word, but it could be seen from the heavy breath that his mood was not calm.
After scolding, Zhang Chunxi showed excitement again, "Can this dress be sold for a lot of money?" Let's talk about it first, one and a half. ”
Jiang Chen hurt him, "You're not afraid of lacking morality?" ”
"I'm afraid of hammering, or money is more fragrant."
After finishing work at dawn, Jiang Chen and Zhang Chunxi found a waste collector with a sack, bargained, and finally sold the coat for five yuan.
Jiang Chen handed two pieces of five to Zhang Chunxi, but Zhang Chunxi waved his hand, "Forget it, you can get it first, I still have a little on me." ”
Jiang Chen hesitated, stuffed the tickets one by one into Zhang Chunxi's trouser pocket, and took the rest into his trouser pocket.
"When I borrow it, I'll pay you back in a few days."
Zhang Chunxi's face was about to laugh, although there was not much money, but after all, it was picked up for nothing.
"Let's go, I've got my salary today, I'm going to have a good meal, I'll treat you."
Jiang Chen refused, and turned his head to an old medical hall that he usually went to.
Lin Ronghua is paralyzed due to a broken spine, and needs to take regular medicine to nourish the nerves, as well as painkillers.
Seeing Jiang Chen, the doctor and boss directly brought him two bottles of medicine he needed.
Coupled with the salary I just received, I had a total of ten yuan in my pocket, and I had no money to buy rice after buying two bottles of medicine.
"Can you take half a bottle first, and I'll get the remaining half bottle in a few days."
The boss was a little unhappy, but considering that Jiang Chen was a frequent customer, he didn't refuse, so he opened the medicine bottles with a cold face, counted half of each bottle, and wrapped them in white paper.
After buying the medicine, Jiang Chen went to buy ten catties of rice, some vegetables, and finally bought all the eggs for a piece of Ermao.
Lin Ronghua's health is so poor that he can't afford meat, so he can only use eggs to supplement Lin Ronghua's nutrition.
solved the urgent need, and on the way home, Jiang Chen's mood was obviously a lot easier.
Ruan's mood was terrible, she lost a hundred pocket money in vain, she didn't end well, she was depressed all night, and she was blocked by a scumbag early in the morning.
"Gently, it's not good for your health to be bored at home every day, you should go out more and relax."
Zhang Heng looks handsome, has a clean bookish atmosphere, is tall and thin, has good grades, and is the crush of many girls in the class.
In the past three years of high school, Zhang Heng has always been very special to her, asking her to go to the library alone on weekends, giving her all kinds of small gifts and greeting cards on holidays and birthdays, and calling to care about her when she is sick.
In the past, Ruan gently thought that this was love.
It wasn't until she experienced the betrayal of the previous life that she saw the other party's scumbag face clearly, and now she only felt disgusted and sick to her stomach when she saw Zhang Heng's face again.
However, she did not refuse Zhang Heng's proposal.
After escaping for so long, it's time to cut through the mess.
After sending Zhang Heng to wait downstairs in the unit, Ruan gently went back to the room and put on his backpack, hugged the cardboard box containing Zhang Heng's belongings and prepared to go downstairs.
As soon as I locked the door, I heard some familiar footsteps coming from the entrance of the stairway.
Ruan turned his head slightly and met Jiang Chen's eyes.
Thinking of yesterday's incident, her face was hot, and she pretended to be casual and hurriedly crossed Jiang Chen and ran downstairs with a cardboard box.
Xu is in a good mood, Jiang Chen leaned downstairs with great interest, and saw Ruan gently saying something to a tall, thin and white boy, the boy took the cardboard box in her hand, and the two walked out of the unit building side by side.
Jiang Chen retracted his gaze expressionlessly and went upstairs to go home.
"Gently, what is in your cardboard box, it's heavy, my hands are sore."
Hearing Zhang Heng's complaint, Ruan said lightly, "Find a place to sit, I have something to tell you." ”
Zhang Heng looked around and pointed to the coffee shop in front.
"Let's go have some coffee, shall we?"
Ruan was noncommittal.
After sitting down, Zhang Heng generously ordered a cup of coffee for himself and Ruan lightly, and ordered a few snacks.
With Zhang Heng's economic ability, he couldn't reach this consumption level, and he subconsciously thought that Ruan Qing would rush to pay the bill as before, so he was not polite at all.
