The children of the Qiao family

Chapter 51

Seeing that her in-laws were all towards her, Simei felt a little better, and said to her elder sister Sanli who persuaded her: Sister, I don't plan to divorce, so don't persuade her.The world is always persuading to get along and not to persuade to leave, how can a real sister want her sister to get divorced!
Sanli turned blue with anger when she heard this, and left angrily, saying that she would no longer care about Qiao Simei's affairs, and if she did, she would let herself go out and get hit by a car!

Seeing that Sanli was so angry that her eyebrows and eyes shifted, Simei hurried over to pull her sister, Sanli struggled not to let her pull her, and both sisters stumbled.

Simei cried until she had tears and snot, and said repeatedly: "Sister, sister, if you say I leave, what should I do?"
Sanli said: What should I do?Cold salad, there are many divorced women who live alone with their children, which one is as spineless as you?
Simei is still crying: They have broken their relationship with their husbands, and their hearts are dead.

Sanli laughed out of anger: Do you think the relationship between you and Qi Chenggang hasn't broken yet?

Simei didn't answer for a while, just stared at the TV in a daze. In order to cover up her voice, Simei kept the TV on, and the voice was still loud.

A star on the screen is advertising, telling people how good the drink is, and after drinking it, life seems to be bright and happy.

20 years ago, a veteran movie star made a 30-second stomach drug advertisement on TV, which was criticized by the people all over the country; 20 years later, if any movie star has never done an advertisement, it can only mean that he or It's because she hasn't even reached the level of "familiarity" in the entertainment industry.

Time often dominates people's days with a cold and humorous attitude, which makes people think of it occasionally, sighing, and dumbfounding.

The cheerful music filled the whole hall. The two sisters stood like wooden figures, listening to all the sounds on the TV, watching the changing light and shadow, and seemed to have forgotten everything for a while.

Simei said in a low voice: Sister, my heart is not dead yet.

Sanli nodded slowly: I understand, then you let go, I will go back.

Simei had tears in her eyes, and the person came over, almost leaning on Sanli's body, and asked: Sister, will you still come to see me?

Sanli smiled and said: I won't come, from now on, let's take care of each other.

Qi Chenggang's troubles were far from over, and the Meng family insisted that Qi Chenggang take out a sum of money as compensation.Meng Guizhi's stomach looks bigger, and if there is no surgery, the baby will really be born.At that time, the Meng family said that Qi Chenggang was not just paying a sum of money, he had to support Meng Guizhi's mother and son for the rest of their lives, otherwise, they would just break up, everyone should not feel better, don't you have a little girl in your family? ?Do you believe it or not that we made up our minds to kill her?

The old couple of Qi's family were terrified, and took Qi Qiaoqiao to hide at relatives' house overnight.

Qi Chenggang, who had been hiding at his parents' house for several days and dared not see Simei, finally appeared in front of Simei.

Qi Chenggang said: Simei, what should we do?
Simei almost gritted her teeth: What us?Whoever tells you is us, it is your own fault!You find a way to get money to compensate them yourself!I have no money, and the little money I saved belongs to my daughter. It is saved for her to choose a school in the future and pay sponsorship. No one can touch it. If you dare to make money, I will fight you hard!

Qi Chenggang suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Simei's arm, Simei struggled, Qi Chenggang hugged her, and put his forehead against the top of her head: Simei, please help me, they said, if they can't get the money, they will bleed me , Simei...

His big bright eyes looked at Simei flickeringly, as if he was not her husband, but her son who had made a mistake. Hot sweat flowed down his cheeks, so he shrugged to rub it.

Simei thought desperately, there is no way, she loves him, there is really no way.

After Qiao Yicheng got off work that day, as soon as he left the TV station, his younger sister Qiao Simei stopped her. Yicheng took her to a coffee shop not far from the TV station and sat down. : Brother, lend me some money.

Qiao Yicheng didn't make a sound, just looked at Simei like that, which made Simei feel cold all over.

Simei just lowered her head. She felt that if she looked at her brother's cold eyes again, her tongue would freeze, and she could not utter a word: "Brother, you must help me, you must help me, except for my family. You have no one to help me, and no one is willing to help me. My sister hates me so much that I don’t live up to it. She doesn’t even want to look at me anymore. The second brother doesn’t have that ability. Eldest brother, except you, except you...

Simei sobbed.

Qiao Yicheng said without saying a word: I won't lend it to you.Qi Chenggang took it upon himself, if he wanted to look like a man, he would make him lose money, even if he sold his blood, he would sell his kidney, don't let his wife carry all the responsibilities, and embarrass all the men in the world!

Simei didn't ask her elder brother to borrow money this time.

The Meng family really opened their mouths and said they wanted 20.

Qiao Simei called them back, our family doesn't have that much money, and we have no place to borrow it, so why don't you just kill me and Qi Chenggang together.

Simei originally made a gamble, the bet was that the Meng family would not dare to touch people and hurt their lives, but later on, a group of people from distant relatives of the Meng family came, all of them were strong and middle-aged men, Simei And Qi Chenggang was really terrified.

The baby in Meng Guizhi's womb could not be delayed any longer, so she was escorted by her family to the hospital for an induced labor operation.

It was a male doll, dead of course, but the fingers were already formed, and the tiny palms were spread out amidst the bloody flesh, as if they were about to grasp something.Never should, never should, Meng Guizhi took a sneak peek.

She screamed.

Meng Guizhi is not crazy, but just refuses to say a word, the doctor said it looks like depression.

This weird, unfamiliar, and terrifying name completely angered the Meng family, and they really made a move on Qi Chenggang.

Qi Chenggang was hit on the forehead with a stick, and his face was covered with blood. He just ran for half a street and fell into a mud puddle.

Someone called the police, and Qi Chenggang managed to save his life.

Qiao Simei rushed to Qiao Yicheng's house. That day was the day when the south came back from Europe.

Qiao Simei said without hesitation: Qiao Yicheng, you are satisfied, Qi Chenggang has suffered on his own, and he is about to die.Are you satisfied?

Nanfang was taken aback by Simei's appearance, and hurriedly asked what was the matter.

However, ten percent refused to say.

In the silence, Qiao Simei suddenly realized that she was wrong. She felt that she was standing in Qiao Yicheng's neat and scholarly room, and Xiang Xiang, who was dressed elegantly and looked dignified, was standing opposite her. The South itself is like an abrupt mop, dirty and wet, it should be shrunk into the corner of the wall.

Qiao Simi had never disliked herself like this before.

After finally comforting Qiao Simei, Xiang Nanfang called Qiao Yicheng aside and asked him why he didn't tell her what happened at home.

Qiao Yicheng rubbed his face vigorously, feeling that his throat was dry and flaming, and he spoke with difficulty: These are all things that are not on the table, not worth mentioning to you, you have your serious career.

Nanfang didn't know how to answer Qiao Yicheng, she looked at him, looked at him, Qiao Yicheng's figure suddenly moved away.This man, Nan Nan thought, he always does this, trying to draw out a corner of his soul, and that corner has never been naked to her.

Nanfang said: Don't talk about that, isn't it that you will lose money?There are still some at home, if you can take them out, prepare them first, and I will consult with some of my friends in the legal field.

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Yicheng interrupted: "No need."I have the money myself, so don’t ask others about the situation, it will affect you badly.

Nanfang said: What's the matter? How could it have a bad effect?
Qiao Yicheng paused for a while and said: Maybe people will talk about you behind your back. I am good in everything, but I am not married well.

Nanfang was stunned.

The next day, Qiao Yicheng asked Simei out and gave her a bank card.

Don't be stupid, find some time to sit down with the Meng family and discuss it clearly, and give them as much as they want. Didn't they also hurt people?This kind of thing can also sue him for intentional harm.

Simei is really like a silly girl, grabbing Yicheng's hand and saying: Brother, Tanye still asks you to help me talk to them, I don't have that ability.Brother, I know, I know you didn't like me since you were a child and think I'm worthless, but...

Qiao Yicheng waved his hand: No need to say that.

In the end, they reached a consensus with Meng's family not to hold each other accountable. Qi Chenggang compensated Meng Guizhi 8 yuan, and they have nothing to do with each other ever since.

After the matter finally calmed down, Qiao Yicheng said to Qiao Simei: The money I lent you must be repaid.Ask Qi Chenggang to return it to me for three years.Don't blame me for not thinking about family ethics if you haven't come out yet.

Simei nodded again and again: Yes, yes, brother, he changed it, brother, he said he really changed it this time.After suffering so much, why don’t you change it?Don't worry, brother, we will definitely pay you back.

rest assured?Qiao Yicheng laughed, I have nothing to worry about, you are not little kids anymore, you are responsible for your own affairs.His surname is not Qiao, I care about him just for your sake, you are my younger sister born of the same mother anyway.But what about you?It's up to you if you want to wallow in this muddy mud.Anyway, mother died early, so she couldn't see her daughter's self-deprecation.As for me, I don’t owe you anything, just remember to pay it back.

why not?Qiao Yicheng felt as if he drank a glass of ice water in the cold winter, it was so cold, why should he give them money for nothing?For such a ticking big family, he, Qiao Yicheng, was just a narrow and tight quilt that covered his head and couldn't cover his feet.

Nanfang called Qiao Yicheng and said he wanted to have a good talk with him.

But it didn't work out.She held meetings all night.

South rose again.

3
In Qiao Yicheng's 38 years of life, there is no more bleak memory than [-] and [-].

In [-], he lost his mother, the woman who was closest to him in his life, whom he cared about and loved the most.In that short year, he grew from a child to a man at once.It was an extremely painful growth. He had to take off the protective shell on his body, and then was honed by life until he was dripping with blood.

In a blink of an eye, 26 years have passed, and a new shell has grown on Qiao Yicheng's body, and this shell is getting stronger and stronger day by day.

Qiao Yicheng hardly had any friends, Song Qingyuan was one of them, but Qiao Yicheng often felt that even Song Qingyuan couldn't fully understand him.Because Song Qingyuan always said that he was always holding his hand a little bit, exuding an aura of being unapproachable to everyone, although it is to isolate possible harm, it also isolates possible care.

Song Qingyuan was very dissatisfied with Qiao Yicheng's rigid relationship with Nanfang, and pointed at Qiao Yicheng's nose in front of his face and scolded him twice, saying that he was too pretentious, and he didn't know how to live a good life.The words were not pleasant, but Qiao Yicheng didn't blame Song Qingyuan, because he didn't understand, Qiao Yicheng thought, only when he understood would he be merciful, and if he didn't understand, he would naturally be mean.

Song Qingyuan yelled at him loudly: You have a dead face all day long, who can understand you, if you cover yourself with a shell, who can really understand you?

Qiao Yicheng sighed: Old Song, why do you think I have to carry a shell?Because I was born as a snail, God gave me a shell for his own reasons, and I can’t do without it.

Song Qingyuan was speechless.

Qiao Yicheng and Xiang Nanfang were almost half separated.They have not quarreled, but not arguing is not a state of happiness.

Qiao Yicheng didn't have time to think about his own problems. The brothers and sisters in the family had accidents one after another.

After Simei paid Meng Guizhi a sum of money, she continued to live with Qi Chenggang. Because of this incident, Sanli and Simei almost broke off.

The second-best stepson, Zhiyong, took the senior high school entrance examination, and his grades came out, only two points away from the cut-off mark of the provincial key high school.If you want to go to this school, it is not impossible, you need to pay 5 yuan.The husband and wife were in trouble.They have also saved some money in the past two years, but they are still far away.

Without further ado, Zhiyong packed his luggage and planned to enroll in an ordinary middle school of his second choice.Ma Suqin also agreed.

Er Qiang got some information from somewhere, and discussed with Ma Suqin secretly, saying that the school has not had a good school spirit in the past two years, and the enrollment rate was also low. , If you fail to get into a good university by then, your whole life will be wasted.

Ma Suqin sighed and said: It doesn't matter, there are bad students in good schools, and good students in bad schools.

Erqiang smirked, and then said: The problem is, I heard that in that school, boys and girls fall in love at a young age, and there are some who get pregnant. How about grandparents?You know my little brother who is fostered at my aunt's house?He just had a child with a little girl, and there was a lot of trouble at that time, almost killing him.

Ma Suqin was also worried when he told her, but money is a big problem. Er Qiang knew that Qiao Yicheng had just lent money to Simei, so it was not good to ask him again. What relatives and friends are willing to lend them this money.

In the end, Er Qiang gritted his teeth: I'll go find Sanli.
