Almighty in the city

At this time, Fan's mother had just given medicine to Fan's father and was cleaning the room.

Suddenly there was a ringing tone from a landline telephone in the living room.

As soon as she heard the phone ringing, Mother Fan, who was still sweeping the floor, immediately put the broom and dustpan against the wall, and ran all the way into the living room. She looked towards the kitchen and saw that she did not see Xiaomei Fan. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief, walked to the phone, and answered it.

"Hey, is that mom?" In the old-fashioned earpiece, there was a somewhat wretched male voice, with a trace of caution, cunning, laziness, and unconcealed idiots in his voice.

"It's me, your sister went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, but she hasn't come back yet." Mother Fan naturally heard her son's voice and quickly said, "How are you doing these days? How are you? What about Lei Lei Well? The debt collectors didn't find you, right?"

"Mom, you asked--" From the receiver of the phone, there was a complaint from Xiaomei Fan's brother. "Our family is now being forced to hide in the wilderness by debt collectors. You think we can get through. Okay. The place where we are staying now is an old dilapidated house abandoned by a friend of mine. The wind does not block the wind, the rain does not block the rain. The key is not even a decent quilt! Mom, you know now! It's been a few months, and this ruined place is in the suburbs. The temperature difference between day and night is not as big as usual. It will be deadly cold at night! If I hadn’t insisted on burning the lights in the house at night, Lei Lei would have caught a cold. There is also this food. I am now reduced to stealing pumpkins and cabbage from other people’s places to cook for Leilei, do you think we can do it now? Leilei hasn’t gone to school for a long time, and will continue to do so. What if someone’s school expelled him in a rage? Moreover, the debt collectors are still biting me behind their buttocks, and they will find this place one day. I said, mom, my Mom, you helped me to persuade Xiaomei! Anyway, I am her brother, who grew up and lived with her since she was young! Is she really the heart to die? Even if she treats me Opinion, but Lei Lei is her nephew, Lei Lei is innocent..."

At the end of the phone, there was a "crackling" complaint and complaint. Fan's mother felt distressed for a while, and her eyes started to turn red gradually. After listening to the words, tears were about to roll down.

At this moment, there was a sound of keys unlocking outside the door.

As soon as Mother Fan heard this voice, she became nervous all at once, and hurriedly said into the microphone: "Your sister, Xiaomei, is back. I will find a chance to talk to her. You will have to work hard. The key is Lei Lei. Don't freeze him at night. If you catch a cold and get sick again, it will be even more sad."

"I will try my best to take care of Lei Lei." said the male voice on the other end of the phone. "The key is Xiao Mei. You must tell her well, even if she doesn't read about my relationship with my brother and sister, she has to read Lei. My nephew Lei! This is the only male in the next generation of our Fan family. If there is a long and two shortcomings, the Fan family will be dead! I really wait for that day, then regret it, but everything is too late! "

"Okay, okay, okay, I will definitely talk to your sister." Fan's mother finally couldn't help hearing it. The tears that were originally swirling in the red eye sockets are now even more awkward. Fall straight down.

She still wanted to tell her son something, but at this time, the sound of unlocking outside the door had stopped abruptly. The security door was pulled open, followed by the sound of the key opening the door.

"If you and Lei Lei insist on persisting, I will definitely persuade Xiaomei to help you pay back the money." The thousands of words in my heart only turned into such an exhortation.

After saying this, Fan's mother hung up without waiting for any response from the other end of the phone.

The moment she hung up the phone, the door of the room was just opened.

Fan Xiaomei, who came back from buying vegetables, walked in from the door carrying a basket of ingredients.

"I bought two live fish today, and I just made a pot of fish soup at noon to make up for you and dad." Fan Xiaomei had already changed her shoes while she was talking to Fan's mother in the living room. The ingredients came to the small kitchen less than three square meters.

The Fan’s house is an old-fashioned six-story building with a small management house. Underneath is a carport. Each household is only three to five square meters in size. Starting from the second floor, it is a house with a small area. Each household is only sixty square meters in size. Except for two rooms and one living room, at most, there is a small kitchen of three square meters like the Fan's family, and a bathroom with a size of two or three square meters larger than the kitchen.

If the house in this old community is in Shanghai, even if it is not a school district house, and the location is not in the city center, it can sell for one or two million.

It’s a pity that this house is located in a small county town under Nantong City. It is also an old town and an old house. Even if it is sold for money, it can only buy a bathroom in an apartment building in the happy district. And it's the kind without decoration.

In some ways, houses and people are actually the same——

The city and location of a house determine its final price; and the level and location of a person also determine his wealth and value.

The difference is that once the house is built, its value is basically finalized; and people can still improve their value step by step through unremitting efforts and learning.

Once, Fan Xiaomei thought so too.

After graduating from university, she, like the thousands of young people in Kyushu who pursued their dreams, came to Shanghai to find opportunities of her own, and through her own efforts, she accumulated her own value bit by bit.

But as one sentence says--

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

The complicated office struggle did not knock her down, the fiercely competitive workplace did not push her back, and the intrigue between people in the metropolis did not frighten her away, but her family and her origins have dragged on again and again. It stopped her advancement and dragged her progress to death, and now, it is almost to the point of dragging her down.

Last time, if it weren't for Hu Yufei, plus Eucalyptus and Qu goblin, the strong aura directly forced back the gang of gangsters who had been collecting debts and went back to the house.

But even so, the Fan family failed to escape the disaster in the end.

Thinking of my father who was still lying on the bed with a stroke at this time, and Xiaomei Fan who was washing the vegetables, she couldn't help but feel sorrow, grievance and sadness.
