Turn the cocoon into a butterfly

Chapter 7 Taking advantage of others' danger (1)

Sang Xiaoyu returned home with dual emotions of joy and loss, and the clock was just pointing to seven o'clock.

The mother was setting up the house and washing her feet. When the son saw his mother came back, he asked timidly, "Have you borrowed any money?"

Sang Xiaoyu had a sore nose, hugged her son and said, "Eldest son, don't worry about adults' affairs, just obey grandma obediently."

Ziqiao flashed a pair of big eyes, and nodded solemnly.

Sang Xiaoyu asked him to go back to the hut to sleep, and whispered to his mother not to tell his son such things.

Mother said, do you think he is stupid?He understands what we say.

Mother asked her why she came back so early?
Sang Xiaoyu said that she was not in the mood to eat and was always borrowing money.

Mother hurriedly took a steamed bun from the kitchen and asked her to eat salted radish.

As soon as something happened at home, her mother's standard of living plummeted. Sang Xiaoyu knew that her mother was extremely picky about money, and it was only for her sake.

Now in their family, the only one who can eat oil stars is his son.

Mother came up and asked eagerly how much she had raised?

While eating, Sang Xiaoyu said that she was too embarrassed to check carefully at the wine table, and poured out all the money in the bag after speaking.

Mother started sorting out a bunch of colorful bills. After Sang Xiaoyu wolfed down a steamed bun, she and her mother counted it together.

The mother checks the money, and she reconciles the account.

Sang Xiaoyu noticed that her mother's complexion was good, much softer than when she left, so she became more courageous, and asked her if she had something to hide from her?
Sang Xiaoyu didn't dare to ask about money, for fear of embarrassing her mother.

While the mother sighed, she still told about the money that Sang Xiaoyu was most concerned about.

She said that your uncle in Shandong took [-] yuan, your uncle in Shanghai took [-] yuan, and she also borrowed it from her neighbors, raising a total of [-] yuan.

Sang Xiaoyu tried her best to hide her joy, she asked: "When will they send the money?"

The mother saw through her little thoughts, and knew that she was afraid that the money would not be in place, and the two uncles would regret it again.

Mother said: "Don't worry, isn't your cousin in the provincial capital? He will come over tomorrow to give money, and I hope he can also pay for it."

Sang Xiaoyu said to her mother, "Do you think the two of us look like robbers who robbed houses? Will relatives have to take a detour when they see us?"

Sang Xiaoyu chuckled, but her mother couldn't laugh, and said: "Everyone is inferior to others, this damn money!"

The mother carefully drew the money, and found that there was a dime note of one or two yuan in it.

Another [-] was obtained.

Sang Xiaoyu seemed to have taken a reassurance. Tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged her mother and said that if it wasn't for her, she really couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't raise so much money.

The mother was somewhat complacent, feeling that she still had a lot of face, but her happiness was only a flash in the pan, and she anxiously asked her how much money she had.

The two checked it three times, and the total was [-] yuan.

My mother said to deduct [-] yuan. Ziqiao paid an extra month of childcare fees. Let’s give it another month. But there are too many places to pay. Great.

Cheng Ziqiao is in a top-notch nursery school, which provides bilingual teaching, and needs [-] yuan a year. There are also some miscellaneous after-school tutoring, such as swimming and roller skating, anyway, they need money.

Sang Xiaoyu listens to her mother in everything now, she nods when she says a word, and nods when she says something else, her mother is in a better mood, at least she still has two soldiers under her command.

Sang Xiaoyu added, subtracted, multiplied and divided Sang Xiaoyu did the math five times, and the final difference was 3000 yuan.

Sang Xiaoyu was a little blindly optimistic. She felt that there were less than three days left, and she might be able to borrow another 1 to [-].

But my mother dispelled her optimism, saying that we cleaned up the surrounding area, and if I called your uncle again, they would not dare to answer it.

Sang Xiaoyu calculated all the accounts clearly. My mother managed to borrow 8000 yuan from the neighbors, and there were more than 30 people.

Sang Xiaoyu took out a box that used to hold shoes, and put the IOUs one by one in the books, and there were seven books in total, and put the book containing the neighbor's IOUs on top.

The son fell asleep after writing, drawing and playing for a while, and the mother and daughter sat and talked under the lamp.

The mother asked: "Hurry up and turn Ziqiao around, that kindergarten can no longer be read, and it is too far away. The troubles are enough for you to run away for a while."

"Well, I'm working on it for the past two days, come one by one, and it will pass sooner or later." Sang Xiaoyu had no choice but to cheer herself up.

"You are too optimistic, every step in the future will be a hurdle."

"Let's go step by step, you won't die anyway."

Mother was fine just now, but suddenly she became angry again. Menopausal women are really overwhelming, and Sang Xiaoyu is really afraid of her mother.

She knew that her mother might have been greatly wronged when her younger brothers borrowed money, so she said:

"In the past? You have a good idea. I think you are angry when you look like this. You have no long-term plans at all.

Even if you have borrowed all the money, how will you pay it back in the future?You go back to the old woman's house and let them return it with you! "

Sang Xiaoyu said with blank eyes: "Mom, don't worry about it, I don't know what their family is like? One is sick, and the other is not healthy. The eldest sister is divorced again and lives at home with her children. .”

"Is it just you? Can you? Who went to their house to ask for money? The accident happened for two days, now what? Everyone is gone. I will take Ziqiao to beg for food tomorrow, so you can do what I can. Ziqiao me Yes, you go to their old Cheng's house for dinner, they deserve you."

Sang Xiaoyu shed tears and said: "You are my mother, you can't be abandoned by anyone in this world. Who do you say I don't expect you to count on?"

"What? Married women should be raised by them, or else they should change Ziqiao's surname. My scalp tingles when I hear the surname Cheng."

Sang Xiaoyu said weakly: "Mom, I can go to my mother-in-law's house, and I can handle it, but do you think I will be happy? I see their faces every day, do you think I still have a way out?
Mom, let's hug each other to keep warm, no matter what, I have to pay back the debt, Mom, you..."

Sang Xiaoyu choked up and couldn't speak.

The mother softened, and immediately said with red eyes: "Life is so hard, the rest of your life is ruined. If the surname Cheng has a conscience, he will come back quickly. Why is a big man better than a woman?"

"Mom, he can do whatever he likes, I've been fantasizing about him coming back for a while, but he found out his conscience and knew that I couldn't handle it alone, so he would definitely come back.

Now I know, it's impossible, even if he sends one hundred and two hundred, I won't be as disappointed as I am now... I don't want to think about it.Let's take one step at a time, treat the wounded first, and be more at ease, we have to overcome these difficulties one by one. "

Mother sighed helplessly: "How much worse is it?"

"Forty thousand, it's another matter when the court opens. If it's four thousand, I won't worry about it. Alas, I really don't want to cause trouble."

"It's only [-] yuan short? You might as well ask Li Junhao to check it out. He is working as a security guard in a big hotel. I heard that he has made a lot of money. I heard that he is going to buy a house two days ago."

Sang Xiaoyu said: "Grand hotel? Didn't he go to a company? And divorced."

The mother nodded and said, "I don't know if it's adjusted or not. Anyway, I bought the house again because of the divorce, and I plan to start a family again."

Sang Xiaoyu didn't have much affection for Li Junhao.The two lived in neighbors since they were young, and Li Junhao always liked to bully the children in the yard.

When he grew up, he didn't study hard, and he was idle and sneaky. When Sang Xiaoyu went back to her mother's house, she saw him walking around.

Contrary to Sang Xiaoyu, Li Junhao likes her very much.

If other children bullied her, he would fight against her when he went up.

The two were in the same family when they were in kindergarten, and he really took care of her like a big brother.

Once when it rained, there was a not-so-deep pit in front of him. Li Junhao passed it as soon as he raised his leg, but Sang Xiaoyu, who was petite, dared not go through it.

Li Junhao hugged her and walked over, but before he could stand still, the two fell down beside the mud pit.

When she was a child, Sang Xiaoyu liked to follow Li Junhao's ass, and she was not angry when someone called her a follower, but felt that Li Junhao was like a big brother who protected her.

After growing up, Li Junhao also tried to test her, both true and false.

He said that the two of us are childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts, right?
Sang Xiaoyu didn't know when she didn't like this "brother" who protected her. Instead, she felt that it was the understanding of her childhood sweetheart, which blunted some unspeakable sense of mystery.

Li Junhao's biggest advantage is that he doesn't like to be entangled. After knowing that she is not interested in him at all, he is not discouraged. Instead, he tells her not to mind too much, not a lover but a friend.

When I met her, I always greeted her warmly.

Li Junhao got married very early, but his wife has never had children. In the third year, the woman ran away with a man who was in the picture tube business. Li Junhao searched for a month like crazy, and then he gave up .

Ever since he became a security guard of a big company, he was always followed by three or two younger brothers, showing off his might. Sang Xiaoyu never knew that a security guard could be so proud.

He is even more respectful.

Li Junhao was also very polite to her mother.

My mother said that if there was anything wrong with her, as long as he knew about it, he would help to solve it. This time when Sang Xiaoyu had an accident, my mother didn't say a word, and she couldn't open her mouth, because she always looked down on this idle man.

If Sang Xiaoyu hadn't been forced to be helpless, she would never have thought of him.

After getting married, Sang Xiaoyu had almost no contact with him, and when she ran into him on the way to her mother's house occasionally, she would just say hello politely.

Li Junhao never paid attention to Sang Xiaoyu's husband, and said behind his back more than once that this man was too good at pretending. After hearing this, Sang Xiaoyu thought he was just jealous.

The past is like the wind, flowing from the heart.

Now is not the time to worry, after hearing what her mother said, she couldn't sit down for a moment, she quickly got off the kang, put on a coat, and came to Li Junhao's door in three to five minutes.

Seeing her daughter like this, the mother felt indescribably sad.

It turned out that the proud and non-human daughter disappeared, and with her came a miserable woman who would bend her waist for a few grains of rice.

Li Junhao's home is only four houses away from his mother's.

When Sang Xiaoyu walked to the door of his house, he saw that the lights were on in his house, and Sang Xiaoyu vaguely saw him as if he was the only one from the gap in the window.

Sang Xiaoyu knocked on the door lightly three times, and Li Junhao's irritated voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

Sang Xiaoyu said in a voice that only she could hear, "It's me."

Sang Xiaoyu really looked down on herself, and felt that she even asked for help from this man who usually didn't pinch his eyes because of money.

When a person is in trouble, he loses even the least amount of arrogance.

Not allowing her to think too much, there was the sound of slippers being kicked and pulled from inside the door.

"Who is it? You talk like a mosquito." As the door opened, Sang Xiaoyu smelled alcohol.

Li Junhao looked at her in disbelief as if he saw a ghost when he saw her.

He opened his eyes wide, his eyes a little blurred.After he fully saw that it was indeed her, he immediately smiled.

Sang Xiaoyu's heart was a little loose, not because of anything else, but because of the momentary change in his eyes, when people see her now, there are fewer and fewer people who give her a good face. She is like a plague, and people want to stay away from her. dodge her.

Li Junhao let her into the back room, and let her sit on the messy sofa with some embarrassment.

There was a small table on the kang, and on the table were two sauce-red pig's trotters, one of which had been bitten off in half.

There are also two side dishes, which seem to be cucumbers and tomatoes, anyway, the red and green are pretty.

There is a wine glass the size of a tea mug on the table near the end of the kang, and the wine in it is still slightly rippling.

Opposite is a small TV, which plays a lingering love story.

Li Junhao is drinking by himself while watching TV at home.Seeing her looking at these things, she felt a little embarrassed, turned off the TV, and quickly pushed the table to the top of the kang, and sat opposite her.

Sang Xiaoyu waited for him to sit down, and straightforwardly explained why he came.

If she asks for Li Junhao, she doesn't have a big burden in her heart. If there is one, it is the best, and if there is none, she will not be disappointed. She just has the mentality of giving it a try.

Li Junhao listened to her explanation of the purpose of coming, rubbed his oily hands, he was relieved, and said:

"I heard from your mother about your family's affairs. I didn't expect you to think highly of me and beg me. It seems that you still don't treat me as an outsider."

Sang Xiaoyu didn't expect him to use such logic, so he lowered his head and said, "It's really too embarrassing, otherwise I wouldn't be able to open my mouth."

Li Junhao said through Jiu Jin: "Xiaoyu, a few years ago my wife thought I was poor, so she left me and ran away with others. At that time I was a doorman, but now that I'm mixed up, I have to be called a beautiful daughter-in-law.

But these days, when people hear that I work as a security guard, they say they don't want to see me, why?Are security guards not human anymore?The money earned by security guards is not easy to spend? "

Sang Xiaoyu didn't know how much money security guards could earn.

Li Junhao immediately said: "I am now the deputy chief of the security department, and I have a job allowance."

Talking to see Sang Xiaoyu's reaction.

Only then did Sang Xiaoyu realize that his so-called mixed up refers to the position of deputy section chief.

Li Junhao saw that her reaction was not strong, and continued: "Our department will soon become a department, and then I will be the head of the security department..."
