Almighty in the city

"Xiaomei--" Fan's mother's voice suddenly sounded outside the kitchen.

Fan Xiaomei calmed down, put away all the emotions in her heart, first tried to squeeze a natural-looking smile on her face, then turned her head and looked towards the living room.

Mother Fan was standing at the door of the kitchen, her left arm and the left half of her body were leaning on the door frame, her hands and ten fingers crossed, placed in front of her, her eyes were still a little red, her eyes lowered, her eyes did not look at Little Sister Fan, but stared. A few pieces of inferior tiles have been broken on the kitchen floor.

"Mom, what's the matter?" Fan Xiaomei seemed to be aware of the abnormality in her mother and asked.

Fan's mother still lowered her eyes and looked at the inferior ceramic tiles on the kitchen floor. She was slightly hollow: "Xiaomei, you said those debt collectors, will they come home again?"

"The last time I was blocked by Yi Fei and the others, and afterwards, I went to the police station to report the case. If they dare to run to the house and make trouble, they will not be able to eat and walk as long as we report the security. Therefore, we should I won’t come here to make trouble again.” Fan Xiaomei thought that after her mother was worried about her departure, the debt collectors came to the house to make trouble again, so she comforted her, “Don’t worry, I ate here last time. It’s deflated, that group of people know how serious they are. Besides, I asked the company for a month’s leave before, and there are still several days left. If they didn’t come back to make trouble before I left, then definitely not. I will run home again."

"But, this is not the answer after all--" Fan's mother raised her head and looked at Fan Xiaomei, "Even if these people won't run to the house to make trouble, but your brother and sister-in-law still have Lei Lei, they can't go home. Here comes. Your brother and sister-in-law are now carrying Lei Lei. In order to avoid these debt collectors, they don't know which wilderness to hide in. Lei Lei hasn't gone to school for almost half a month—"

As she said, Fan’s mother had already reddened her eyes from the phone call, and tears came out again: “Xiaomei, they are your brother and sister-in-law after all. Even if they did something wrong before, you still have to Give them a chance to reform. Even if you don’t miss your brother’s love, you should still feel sorry for Leilei——he is innocent, he is young, and now is the time to go to school to grow up. I've been following your brother and your sister-in-law to hide in the plateau province. I can't go to school, eat, live, and sleep. It's a problem. That's going to happen, Xiaomei—"

As soon as she heard that her mother had brought the topic to her elder brother who was so lazy and delicious, Fan Xiaomei inexplicably felt a trace of hostility in her heart, and an unknown flame hit her forehead directly: "Mom!"

Without waiting for Fan’s mother to continue, she interrupted directly: "My brother and my sister-in-law still have Leilei. Now I have a family and cannot go back. Do you think this is my problem? My brother asked those people to borrow usury. At the time, wouldn’t you think that if you didn’t pay the money, you would be called for debts? Okay, even if my brother didn’t think of this at the time, but my sister-in-law, didn’t both of them think about paying the money?"

"Xiaomei——"

"Mom, wait, listen to me and tell me everything?" Fan Xiaomei did not give her mother a chance to interrupt, and continued to say, "If, this is the first time my brother is looking for these loan sharks, okay, look Because he is my brother, and for Lei Lei’s sake, I think he was eager to use the money to stun his head for a while, and I can help him get the money back. But this is his first time Did you go to borrow money from usury? Mom, look at me and answer this question—is this the first time my brother went to borrow money from usury?"

"Xiaomei--" Fan's mother stopped talking, and after calling out Xiaomei Fan's name, she still couldn't say the rest.

"Mom, why don't you answer this question of mine?" Fan Xiaomei looked at her, her emotions became gradually agitated because she remembered all the bad things in the past, "Is it because there is no way to answer, or because you also know Even you are embarrassed to answer this question?

Fan's mother still made no sound.

Fan Xiaomei’s voice suddenly rose a few degrees: “That’s because you also know that this is not the first time my brother has gone to borrow money from those usurers! It’s not even the second or third time! Mom, don’t you know? I know, in the previous three times, in order to help him repay these usury loans, I have borrowed everyone I know one by one! At the end of the loan, my friend saw my number and the text message I sent in the past. , WeChat, either pretending to be absent, or simply not seeing it! I worked hard, worked hard, and made money in Shanghai, and finally had my own circle of friends, colleagues, and social circles, but it was because of my brother , Because the three loan sharks he borrowed before destroyed the personal network that I had spent seven full years in!"

"Mom, you know that I am in Shanghai. In order to build such a network of relationships, I have devoted seven years of time and energy! But my brother! He asked you to force me to pay him back three times. The money is More than once! Forcing me to find someone to borrow. In the end, you know whoever knows me, even if you see me in person, they all pretend not to know me, you know!"

"Originally, I was expecting him to learn from the previous experience and lessons, go to work well, and work to make money, so I spent the last favor I saved in Shanghai and found him a job as a security guard. But what about him? I didn’t say anything about going to work, I was criticized by the leader, and I dared to beat the leader. After being fired, he actually called me to help him find another decent job!"

"Hehe, mom, what else can you tell me? Who does he think I am? The person in charge/regulator of Shanghai city, or the boss of a listed company? Mom, do you know how difficult it is to find a job in Shanghai now? ? I have been engaged in human resources work for these years, I can tell you plainly—"

"Now in Shanghai, let alone undergraduate graduates from ordinary universities, even those fresh graduates from 985 and 211 universities, it is not easy to find a suitable job!"

"Not to mention that my brother who only has a high school diploma-he is not a high school graduate! Mom, do you know how much effort I put on and how many people I have given me? I owed a lot of favors to others when I ran out of them, so I found him a job as a security guard!"
