Pass Through 80s: A Notoriety

Chapter 24 Your Dirty Money

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Xu Fang went out in the heavy rain. Instead of going to work, she went to Liu Hongsheng's house in the front yard.

Only Liu Hongsheng's lover Li Mei and Liu Zili were at home.

Li Mei is forty-eight years old, her hair is already half gray.

Ten years after she married Liu Hongsheng, she gave birth to a child. Only Liu Zili, a son, has been held in her hands since she was a child.

Seeing Xu Fang coming over, Li Mei vaguely guessed something. She doesn't go to work, but usually stays at home. In the past few days, there are rumors about her family's Zili and Ji Ling in the family courtyard, and she has heard some.

Li Mei didn't like Ji Ling's bad temper, but she couldn't bear her son's liking, so she simply turned a blind eye, and it wasn't boys who suffered the disadvantage.

"Come into the house quickly, don't stand by the door, if there is something urgent, you have to come here in the heavy rain." Li Mei is used to being praised by others, and she always speaks in a strange way.

In the entire family courtyard, she was the one Xu Fang didn't like to see the most, but today she was sent to the door to make people slap her in the face. Even if she didn't like it, she could only endure it.

She stood at the door without moving, and took out the prepared money from her pocket, "Sister Li, count it, here is a hundred dollars."

Li Mei groaned, "Xu Fang, what do you want my old Liu to do? You have to make it clear first, otherwise I won't dare to take the money."

"Sister Li, I didn't ask your brother Liu to do something. My Ji Ling borrowed 100 yuan from your family a few months ago. This child lent money to her grandma to support her health. The matter has been kept from us. I only found out when your family told me today. I'm really sorry, look at what happened."

Li Mei groaned, then clapped her hands with a smile, and took the money directly, "What's the matter, you came here to pay back the money in the heavy rain, we live in the front and back yards, and it's not the same when the rain stops, it's not too late."

"Xu Fang, don't be picky if I say something more. You just care too much about face. You say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. No one cares about big things and small things. Even a small thing like borrowing money, you are so motivating."

While speaking, Li Mei counted the money in her hands twice, "One hundred yuan is neither too much nor too little. I would be surprised if someone else borrowed money. Your family's conditions are comparable to those in our courtyard. You just said that you should pay back the money, but I was shocked. Ji Ling is not only filial, but also knows how to respect the elderly. He is also promising. He won the provincial champion. This is a good thing. Can you have two tables in your family?"

"Ji Yong is not at home, and I can't decide this matter. I have to wait for him to come back to discuss."

Li Mei said with a smile, "Your family's Ji Yong loves children the most. I dare to bet you on this matter. He will have to make up for it as soon as he gets home."

Xu Fang smiled and said that she still had to go to work, so she left in the rain.

The rain dripped from the brim of the hat into her neck, Xu Fang couldn't help shivering, and what was even colder was her heart.

In her lifetime, the proud Xu Fang never thought that a rural woman like Li Mei could laugh at her even if she couldn't read.

It was his own daughter who caused all this.

Braving the rain, rushed to the department store.

Seeing that her hair was wet, Manager Wang hurriedly asked her to wipe it off quickly, "Don't catch a cold, the two daughters are counting on you for college, you can't fall down these few years."

It is indeed a lot of pressure for ordinary families to have two children going to college. Even if the school provides subsidies, the family should also provide some subsidies.

But Ji's family is different, Ji Yong can earn money, and Xu's natal family has good conditions. There are two college students, so no matter how stressful it is, it is sweet.

Manager Wang was flattering, and Xu Fang would be happy if he heard it normally, but at this time he couldn't be happy at all, forced a smile, and walked away by wiping his head.

On Ji Ling's side, she didn't go outside on a rainy day. Although Ji Ke was at home, the two sisters didn't communicate with each other. Xu Fang didn't call Ji Ling when she came back to cook dinner at night, but Ji Ke called her.

Xu Fang's face was so flushed that she could fall on the dining table, and Ji Ling ate by herself.

Xu Fang held back all afternoon, and when she saw her eating heartlessly, she became angry.

"Ji Ling, what happened to the boy who dragged you away this morning?"

Ji Ling raised her head, "Mom, do you want to fight again?"

"I just remembered." Xu Fang just wanted to say that you are a man for a while, but when she changed her mind, the words were too much, and she changed her words with a twist of her tongue.

Ji Ling thought that your reflexes are quite slow, so she said, "A friend."

"What kind of friend? It doesn't look like a serious person. You should avoid such people in the future. You can learn from your sister and read books at home. Don't think that you can just go to college. If you don't study hard in college, you won't be able to wait for a job to be assigned."

"good."

Xu Fang: .

If you want to talk about Xu Fang's feelings at this time, it is that she wants to have a big fight, so that the fire in her heart can be vented. In the end, she has set up the table and the other party has the illusion that she should not fight.

Ji Ling took a few big gulps to finish the rice in the bowl, and put down the chopsticks, "I'm done."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Xu Fang exhaled heavily.

"Mom, let's eat." Ji Ke bit his lip, thought for a while, and picked what Xu Fang liked to hear and said, "Mom, it's going to August, and I heard that our university notice will arrive on the 5th. Then you and I can go to the city to pick it up."

"I just asked for leave a few days ago. The unit may not be able to approve it. Let me try." Xu Fang didn't want her little daughter to worry, so she forced a smile.

The meal was tasteless, and Xu Fang went to work early the next morning, only leaving biscuits for the younger daughter, and the older daughter simply didn't even think about it.

The sky cleared up, Ji Ling planned to go to the brick factory to move bricks today, and saw that there was no food at home in the morning, just in time Ji Ke came out of the east room with biscuits in his hand.

Ji Ke handed it over without hesitation, "Sister, let's eat this in the morning."

Ji Ling paused, then refused, "I'm not hungry, I'm going to work first."

"Sister, are you going to move bricks?"

Ji Ling strode out of the courtyard without answering Ji Ke's words.

Apart from moving bricks, he has no capital at the moment, so he can only wait for Ji Yong's father to come back, borrow some capital, and then make money from the money, pay off the debts owed, and save some money by himself.

Walking all the way to the brick factory, Ji Ling was thinking about something. She didn't look over until someone called her. She saw a man pushing a bicycle standing on the side of the road. Seeing Ji Ling looking over, the other person yelled again.

"Is it Ji Ling?"

Ji Ling: Pretending not to know each other? Did you see it the day before yesterday?

She walked over to the front and back, and glanced at the bicycle, "What? Is the chain broken again?"

"It's fine if it's you."

Ji Ling bulged her cheeks.

After confirming that it was him, Zhu Weidong took out 500 yuan from his pocket, "This is the bonus for reporting clues, you take it."

Ji Ling showed a look of astonishment, five hundred yuan, a wife is very important to her, but after several struggles, she still looked away.

"Is this a charity? Or is it compensation for letting me be the bait the day before yesterday? No matter what the reason is, I will not accept this money."

"You have been looking at it reluctantly, you obviously want it very much, why do you still refuse?"

Ji Ling: Give me the knife!
